IMPORTANCE OF CORK HARBOUR AS PACKET STATION AND PORT OF CALL. That London should be in immediate and direct communi cation with Cork and Queenstown is most important, when the extent of their trade, and the fact that Cork Harbour has become the port of call of the Cunard, Inman, and otner lines of American steamers, both on their outward and homeward voyages, are taken into account—considerations greatly en hanced by the present condition of the American States, in volving such momentous results. Cork Harbour is also ex tensively used as a port of call by the vessels engaged in our Mediterranean, Australian, and other trades ; and is at the same time an important harbour of refuge, the naval station for Ireland, and within 20 miles of Fermoy, the largest mili tary depot in Ireland. FRS.:SENT CIRCUITOUS ROUTE OF WIRES. The only extsting route, 739 miles in length (viz., by Liver -1:10 )1, Carlisl e , Portpatrick, Donagliadee, and Dublin), is so edelay, yeuitous, and involves so many breaks, as to cause great trucertainty, and frequent incorrectness in the trans- L 'siOr.., of Message' ufl s. PROJECT OF TIIE COMPANY. The urgent necessity of supplying the deficiency thus for t' illustrated, has induced the formation of this Company, -whose object is to provide an unbroken line of communication, direct from London, via St. David's Head, Pembrokeshire, across St, George's Channel to 'Wexford. and thence by Waterford, &c., to Cork and Queenstown, a distance of about 45 1 miles, instead of 739. ADVANTAGES, CONCESSIONS, &c. kc. most important advantage has been secured by an cx ialive concession to this Company of the privilege of esta ssa-' a Station at Roche's Point, at the entrance to Cork ,-ar_arbour, where the Pilots reside, and from whence they i?oard the Steamers. News will be brought to tile station by the return Pilot boats, and transmitted thence direct to Lon not only anti c ip a ti ng a ll messages w hi c h h av e to b e beaueq)atehed from Queenstown, but, in fact, reaching London eonsiderable time before the Mail Tender can arrive at Queenstown. It is unnecessary to point out that so direct a line --vth." l • orth g thoroughly efficient communication, will not obtain a t preference of existing business, acknowledged e exceedinol rem tive but by its increased celerity unera , and certainty will tend largely to multiply the Use of the ire s. especially on the full resumption of trade with Ame rica. SIGNAL TOWER FOR PASSING SHIPS. ' - .1 ,0 * high ground contiguous to the Station at Roche's 0 , 114 ' a Signal Tower will be erected, from which vessels s huP and down Channel will be sighted and reported, front a co nsiderable amount of business may be anticipated, to tbe facilities thus afforded to merchants and shipowners te live orders as to port of discharge, thereby saving the de ,,,11L1.011 and expense now frequently incurred. Wires will be exists provided to facilitate the large traffic which already sis between Cork, Queenstown, Youghal, Dungarvon, 2(v.a.terford, and Wexford, and the ports of South 1‘ ales, w urch are now without telegraphic connection. MANUFACTURE OF CABLE. The Submarine Cable is in the course of manufacture, under c*contract with Mr ssrs. S. W. Silver and Co., Patentees of the a outc houc Insulator, in reference to wid t h the Government Committee on Submarine Telegraphy state (vide page 33 of -lteport). "India-rubber surpasses all other materials in the smallness of the amount of its inductive cPscharge, and the Perfectness ot its insulation." The whole line will be ready !:or use early in th e spr i ng, and its maintenance guaran t ee d for a term of years. C A ITAL SUBSCRIBED. A, considerabl portion of the Capital is already subscribed.

By Dr. LA'MERT, 37, Bedford-square, London. Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh ; Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Am The above work contains most useful and interesting information on the physiological changes which occur in the Reproductive System during the periods of youth, puberty, and manhood ; and on the due attainment of that depree of functional vigour upon which the hopes of posterity depend. It also points out how all the attributes of Man hood can be preserved to an advanced period of life, how they are lc st, and how they can be recovered. It is free from the gro ;s exaggerations, alarming descriptions, and dangerous remedies so generally resorted to by persons, who, prac tisinz with false medical qualifications, inflict most serious injuries, and render judicious treatment frequently abortive. The Author is the only legally qualified practitioner whose name stands on the Medical Register (the only true test of medical qualification), who has been exclu sively engaged for a series of years in the treatment of the various functional disorders of the nervous and reproductive system, which, owing to the r,reat discoveries of modern science, are rendered subservient to a rational, simple, and easy mode of treatment.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamship Mooltan, Capt. E. Cooper, arrived at Southampton at noon on Saturday, 'with the heavy portion of these mails in charge of Mr.T.Sweeney, of the General Post-office. During a heavy squall she touched a bank of sand between Sconce Point and Yarmouth in the morning, and a telegram to that effect was forwarded from Hurst to South ampton, where every arrangement was immediately made to render any assistance that might be re quired, but the steamers that were despatched for the purpose met the Mooltan making up the river, she having floated off within an hour or so, un aided, and received no damage. The Mooltan left Alexandria on the 27th ult., Malta on the 31st, Marseilles on the 3d instant, and Gibraltar on the 6th. She had strong head winds from Alexandria to Malta, and thence fine weather till she reached the Bay of Biscay ; in the Bay she encountered strong south-westerly and westerly gales, with hazy weather; and moderate weather in the Channel. At Alexandria were the usual Egyptian squad ron, a French steam transport, and a Russian cor vette. The British squadron at Malta on the 31st con• sisted of the Marlborough, Surprise, Medina, Nep tune, Firefly, Boxer, Growler, and Foxhound. The Megfera, Commander Henderson, from Malta, ar rived at Gibraltar on the 29th ult., and left for the westward on the 31st. The Caesar also left for the west at 8.25. a.m. on the 30th; the Aboukir during the same night; and the Lapwing at 7.15 a.m. on the Ist inst. The Queen, Algiers, Alacrity, Doria, Tribune, Cuckoo, and Procris were at Gibraltar when the Mooltan left. The Gibraltar Chronicle publishes the following account of the gallant rescue of a shipwrecked crew by the officers and men of her Majesty's ship Lap- wing : "On the morning of the 29th of December, be tween 2 and 3 o'clock, the Mecklenburg bark Grosse Furstinn Catharina, R ith wheat from Trieste for Havre, went on shore on the eastern beach near the Tunara. Soon after daylight the agent for Lloyd's and, the agent for the French insurers and English maritime clubs were on the spot in order to render every assistance. A gale was blowing from the eastward; the surf swept the decks of the wreck and compelled the crew to take to the rigging. The agents succeeded in finding among the fisher men of the Tunara a boat's crew, and three times the attempt was made to reach the ship from the shore, but in each case the enormous surf filled and drove back upon the beach the boats employed. The case of the poor fellows who had been exposed for so many hours in the rigging appeared despe rate when her Majesty's ship Lapwing, Commander O'Reilly, was seen coming to their assistance. The Lapwing: was brought to the very edge of the broken water and as near to the wreck as the safety of the vessel would permit. An eyewitness of the scene tells that he never in his life saw anything more admirable than the courage, calmness, and discipline which marked the subsequent pro. ceedings. There was no confusion or hesita tion. In a service in which every man's life was in danger, the officer and boat's crew of the Lapwing performed their noble task in as quick, quiet, and orderly a manner as if they had been at drill exer cise. When the Lapwing had taken up her position the cutter was lowered and manned by Lieutenant Brooke and a crew of volunteers—and here we may remark, to the credit of British seamen, that when the commander decided that only the men who could swim should proceed on this dangerous duty, and volunteers from the swimmers were called for, they volunteered in a body. As the heavy rollers made it highly dangerous for the cutter to approach the wreck, a smaller boat was attached to it, and it was intended to communicate with the wreck by taking up such a position that, by veering away the line, the smaller boat might be dropped gradually upon the wreck. The wind and surf, and strong southerly set defeated every attempt to communi cate with the poor seamen by this method, and the small boat always drifted a little wide of its mark. The feelings of the spectators were now painful in the extreme. It seemed as if all hope must be abandoned of saving the eleven survivors still cling ing to the wreck (for one had perished in the at tempt to swim on shore), when suddenly, during a slight lull, the small boat was cut adrift and the cutter herself was seen dashing through the surf in the direction of the wreck. It was a moment of intense excitement, but in a few seconds the boat passed safely through the breakers and was under the lee quarter of the Catharina. There she held on till the shipwrecked crew were all taken on board, when the gallant officer and boat's crew of the Lapwing, with a British cheer, again pulled their way through the breakers, and safely reached their own ship. Commander O'Reilly had in the meantime left the Lapwing in a second boat, ready to give assistance in ease of disaster to the first. When the position of the wreck was made known to the Governor, an officer of Engineers and detachment of Sappers were sent by his Excellency to endeavour to save the crew by throwing a line over the ship by means of a rocket, but the good work had been happily accomplished before their arrival," The shipwrecked master and crew of the Catha rina published in the Chronicle the following gra tifying letter of thanks:— " We, the undersigned master and crew of the late Mecklenburg barque Grosse Furstinn Catha rina, deem it our duty publicly to acknowledge cur gratitude for the assistance rendered to us in our perilous situation . while lying stranded off the Eastern Beach. We have to thank his Excellency the Governor, and the military detachment sent by his Excellency to our aid, for their prompt and humane exertions on our behalf ; also Capt. War den, R.N., senior naval officer of this station, for his readiness in affording the assistance of her Ma jesty's steam sloop Lapwing, Commander M. O'Reilly, officers, and crew of the said ship, for their aid and humane behaviour towards us through. out this melancholy catastrophe ; but, above all, our everlasting gratitude is due to Lieutenant Brooke, who, with a boat's crew, ventured to save our lives from the wreck. We cannot praise too much the masterly way in which this brave young officer and his gallant men overcame the dangers and difficul ties which the elements threw against the comple tion of their humane undertaking; words are not adequate to convey our gratitude to these brave men, they will, however, in their own hearts feel the reward which the consciousness of having saved the lives of 11 fellow-creatures must afford every true Christian. Their gallant conduct will add another page to the history of the British sailor, who ever was, and ever will be, ready in the hour of danger to sacrifice his life in the cause of huma nity.—Gibraltar, Dec. 30, 1861." Unusually heavy rainfalls occurred at Gibraltar at the end of last month, during the prevalence of a fresh easterly gale. No leas than 101 inches of rain fell in three days, from the 27th to the 30th ult., inundating many parts of the town. The directors of the Gas Company were compelled to advertise the stoppage of one of the gasholders, in consequence of a landslip at the works caused by the heavy rains. The following British merchant steamers had arrived out at Gibraltar :—December 29, the Penin sular, Captain F. Archer, eight days from London; 31st, the Egyptian, Captain S. Hine, 51 days from Liverpool, for Genoa, &c. ; January 1, the Italia, Captain W. H. Bishop, eight days from London, for Genoa, Leghorn, &c. ; same day, the Delta, Captain J. S. Field, four days 23 hours from South ampton, 'with mails, &c., for Malta and Alexandria. Also, the following sailing ships, all laden with coal :—From Newport.—Gowerian, E. Evans. From Cardiff.—Laura, E. Jenkins; Colleen Bawn, IT. Arnesburg ; Ann Catherine, I. Owen ; Dinah J. Ainsworth; Borland, J. Pomroy. From Swan sea.—Sarah, 1), Morgan. From Liverpool.—Eng lishman, T. Sullock ; Juanita, W. Davies. From Middlesborough.—Janet, J. Jones. The brigantine lonian Belle, J. Hardy, from Port Talbot, w ith iron for Messina, was in collision at 8 30 p.m. on the 2d inst., in Gibraltar Straits, with an unknown bark, and had her maintopmast broken, besides other damages. THE NAVY. -_~--_ The Biafralo, 2, iron screw store vessel, Master Commander Alexander Brown, arrived at Spithead shortly after noon on Saturday from the West Coast of Africa, where she has been employed since 1857. She sailed from Sierra Leone on the 22d of November last, and from Goree on the Ist of De cember, and has experienced easterly winds until within 400 miles of the Channel. These, together with an excessively foul bottom, have much length ened her passage. Two passengers have come home by her, who were wrecked in the Queen, of Jersey, in Yof.bay, north of Cape Verde. The Buffalo has brought home condemned naval stores, and after receiving provisions, of which she was run out, and supernumeraries, at Spithead yesterday, sail e d thence for Woolwich, where she will be put out of commission and repaired for further service. The St. Vincent, three-decker, depot ship for training boys at Portsmouth, dragged her moorings in the harbour during a hardgale from the W.S.W. on Saturday, and drove broadside on to the east mudland, off the north corner of the dockyard. She remained there until 1 a.m. yesterday, when she was osd lying further up to have sustained rescued from her position and moored alongside the the Nelson, harbour. screw supposed any damage. The w from e Gibraltarsteamship Capt. Thomas H. Mason, B a;rived at Plymouth D C e fe c . s a 2 r B „ 6 sre yesterday morning. In the gale on Saturday she sprung her main yardarm , carried away the cross jack-yard, and lost the starboard-quarter boat. The Cesar having reported a merchant ship, said to be an American, in the Channel, in distress, Port- Admiral Sir Houston Stewart despatched the paddlewheel tender Avon, 3 , to render assistance. The screw gunboats Spanker, Herring, and Misletoe, belonging to the steam-reserve in the Medway, went alongside the Ordnance wharf at Chatham, on Saturday, for the purpose of shipping their Armstrong guns, as well as their shot and shell. They are to be held in readiness for service wherever required. On Saturday nearly 600 fathoms of the largest chain bower cable used in the navy arrived at Chat ham Dockyard from the factory of Messrs. Brown and Lennox, Cardiff, for the iron screw steam frigate Defence, 18, Captain Powell, CM. The whole of the cable was landed during the day, and a considerable portion removed to the testing-house to be subjected to the usual hydraulic tests before it is put on board. The bower and sheet anchors for the Defence, all of which are of enormous size, have undergone the most severe tests at Chatham Dockyard without the least flaw being detected in them. They will be shipped to-day. According to orders issued in the dockyard on Saturday even ing the Defence will leave her present moorings in the harbour on Wednesday next and proceed to Folly Point, a short distance below the dockyard, where she will complete fitting. The extent to which she takes the ground at very low tides has caused some apprehension to be felt lest she should experience any injury, and the Admiralty have wisely determined not to risk the effects of another spring tide by permitting her to remain at her pre sent berth after Wednesday next. Her pinnace launches, and other boats have arrived at the dock yard, and are in readiness to be put on board. She has not yet been furnished with her armament, and as no order has been received at the dockyard re lative to this portion of her equipment, it is pro bable her Armstrong and other guns will not be put on board until she arrives at Portsmouth. The screw corvette Racoon, 22, Captain W. C. Chamberlain, was towed into Chatham harbour on Saturday, from Short Reach, to be dismantled and paid off. In consequence of the news from America the intention to refit her for temporary service has been abandoned, and orders were received yesterday for her to be dismantled and placed in the third class steam reserve. On Saturday the crew were busily engaged in sending down her topmasts and rigging and returning her stores to the dockyard. Her Armstrong and other guns have been landed at the Ordnance-wharf. Notwithstanding that the Racoon has been in commission more than four years she i 3 in excellent condition, and on the occa sion of her inspection by Vice-Admiral Johnstone he highly complemented Capt. Chamberlain on the appearance of both the ship and crew. The Calypso, 18, sailing ship, Capt. F. B. Mon tresor, has arrived off the dockyard at Chatham from the Pacific, to . pay off and be put out of com mission. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham directing that the whole of the hired workmen, mechanics, and labourers are not to be retained at the dockyard after the close of the present financial year. A similar order has also been received at Sheerness Dockyard. The moulds for the armour plates for the iron clad frigate Royal Oak, 51 guns, building at Chat ham, were despatched from that dockyard on Satur day to the works of the Thames Iron Company, where the plates are to be manufactured. They are to be of rolled iron, and the edges are to be plain, without being grooved. Each plate will measure 15ft. by 3ft. 2in., and will weigh 4 tons. The machinery for bending the plates cold to the shape of the ship's side has arrived at the dockyard from the factory of Messrs. Westwood, Baillie, Campbell, and Co. The bending process will be performed by hydraulic pressure. - - The screw steam sloop Perseus, 17, at Devon port, having been advanced to the first division of the steam reserve, was removed on Friday from No. 3 dock in Keyham Steamyard to the basin. The Rifleman, 5, Master in command J.W. Reed (1857), went down the river from Greenhithe on Sa turday morning for the official trial of her engines. A strong south-west gale was blowing at the time, and increased so much later in the day that no runs at the measured mile were attempted, but the per formance of the boilers and machinery was found to be quite satisfactory. This ship has been com missioned for the important work of surveying the China seas and Eastern passages to China. She was fitted for that service with the utmost care. Although her nominal tonnage is but 486, her actual displacement is 624 tons. She has a complement of 90 officers and men, the number being increased for the purpose of effectually manning the numerous boats which her work will render necessary. Her armament has been reduced to five guns, four of them being 24-pounder brass howitzers, and one a 40-pounder Armstrong, which will be sufficient to render her a formidable check on piracy. The first work of the Rifleman will be to search for the Julia, Christopher Rawsen, and other shoals in the vicinity of Pulo Sapata. She will next fix the positions of the western edges of the reefs, in the China sea, survey the Catwicks, Paracels, and adjacent dangers, the southern part of Hainan, and coast of Cochin China, the Macclesfield Bank, &c. The great object of the survey is to furnish a cor rect !chart of the whole route usually taken by vessels making passage between Singapore and China, either in working up and down the China sea, or running with a fair monsoon. In the strength of the monsoons, when it will be impos sible to work in the China sea, she will be employed in surveying the eastern passages to China. The Government has decided on convert ng the gaol at Lewes, Sussex, into a naval prison, for the exclusive reception of seamen and Marines serving afloat, instead of distributing them over the several county gaols. The prison at Lewes is capable of accharnodating about 400 prisoners. The screw steamer Wisbeach has been engaged by the Admiralty for the conveyance of stores to Halifax. Supernumerary seamen, boys, and Marines sent on Thursday morning on board the screw steam sloop Stromboli, 6, Commander Arthur H. Henry, in Plymouth Sound, were, in consequence of a few cases of sickness among the crew, disembarked in the afternoon. The sickness having sufficiently abated on Friday, the supernumeraries were em barked again on Saturday, and she will proceed with the gunboat Spider, 4, Commander Stubbs, for the South East coast of America, on the receipt of orders. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Commander H. D. Selby to the Coastguard, vice Willoughby, promoted ; and Mr. ho. Giles nominated to a naval cadetship. THE ARMY. A general order, dated the 10th of January, has been issued from the Hone Guards, notifying to the army that the mourning for his late Royal High ness the Prince Consort will change on the 17th of the next month, when the full mourning prescribed in the general order of the 18th ult. will be discon tinued. The officers of the army will, from the 17th of February, wear with their uniforms a black crape round the left arm till the 10th of March, when the mournings will cease. The troops and invalids on board the Megwra, screw troopship, at Portsmouth, who arrived there on Friday from the Mediterranean, were prevented disembarking on Saturday by the rough state of the weather. It is intended to disembark them this morning. It is understood that the recent changes in the staff appointments in the Corps of Royal Marines Light Infantry will result in some important mo difications and alterations in the organization of that important branch of the service. One of the first alterations proposed is a change in the method of recruiting for the various divisions, the results of which, considering the number of officers and men employed on that duty, have been for some time such as to warrant the authorities in making some modifications in the present system. tinder the existing arrangements a certain num ber of non-commissioned officers, under the im mediate orders of a captain, are stationed in most of the principal towns and districts in Eng land for the purpose of raising men. This, as may be at once supposed, makes a great demand on the various divisions to supply 3fficers. So serious is the inconvenience that there is scarcely one of the divisions at present which has a sufficient number of officers at head-quarters for the proper carrying out of the multifarious duties of the corps. In order to obviate the difficulty hitherto experienced in this respect it . is intended to dispense with the services of most of the officers of Royal Marines in charge of recruiting parties at the various towns, by the appointment of a certain number of inspecting officers, each of whom will have a given number of recruiting parties within his district, and whose duty it will be to superintend the whole of the re cruiting for the several divisions. By this arrange ment a considerable number of officers will be re lieved and enabled to join head-quarters. By direc tion of the Admiralty all discharges by purchase from the corps of Royal Marines have been for some time stopped. The number of purchased discharges is on an average 300 per annum,and in consequence of this order the several divisions are within a very few of their proper number. Recruiting, however, has fallen off very considerably during the present winter, only an exceedingly small number of men having been sent up from the provinces to the vari ous divisional head-quarters during the last three months. No anxiety whatever is, however, felt by the authorities on this account, as experience has shown that recruiting has always fallen off in pro portion as there is employment for the labouring classes. Dr. Reid has assumed the duties of principal medical officer at the camp at Colchester, in the room of Dr. Innes, C. 8., who is now engaged in service in Canada. Until the arrival of Dr. Reid, Dr. Innes' office was temporarily filled by Staff Surg. Lewes. Staff Assist-surg. Hope has been attached to the medical staff of the 10th depot bat talion. About 20 officers are now absent from the camp at Colchester on leave, and, as a considerable num ber from the ranks are also absent on furlough, the strength of the battalions in the camp has been considerably reduced. The command of the small detachment stationed at Landguard Fort, Harwich, has been transferred from Lieut. Kilson, Ist bat talion 6th Foot, to Lieut. Eames, 66th ; Lieutenant Hartley, Ist battalion sth Fusiliers, has joined the service companies of his regiment at Portsmouth, and Lieut. Nichols will be transferred to the depot. The Army Medieal Corps is to be reorganised, in consequence of so many of its members being now stationed in Canada. COTTOI%' GOODS. MANCHESTER, JAN. 10. The gratifying news from America has caused in creasing firmness in the market for yarn and cloth, and prices have risen considerably, but the first effect seems to have been to give a further check to business. It is doubtful, however, whether buyers will not speedily be compelled to give these rates, extreme as they are, since there seems a probability that they will soon be confronted with quotations hitherto unheard of. The yarn market is not at all active to-day, though no doubt a very large sale might have been effected at the rates of Tuesday or even a little higher. The inquiry has been very great, a large proportion of the offers making being from shippers to China. There is scarcely any demand for India. The home trade are still buying a good deal of yarn, and appear also to be the most inclined at present to pay the extreme prices which they have to submit to wherever purchases are made. The price of yarn has risen ld. per lb., and in some cases more, since Tuesday. It is probable that the Germans, who have hitherto been holding back in the hope that prices would come down, will be the next considerable purchasers in the market, being almost out of stock, both in Manchester and on the Continent, but so far they have hesitated to give the high rates that are now being asked. The cloth market is quite without excitement. The advanced rates of cotton have caused manufacturers generally to raise their prices since Tuesday, in some cases to the extent of af3 haling per piece. But this movement checks all business. There have been a few lots sold, of particular makes which are in demand, at an advance of 3d. per piece since Tuesday ; but these are exceptional cases. There is no real demand for cloths of any kind. Stocks are very heavy both here and in India and China. There seems to be a prospect of more mills being stopped, many manufacturers expressing a deter mination to-day to close their establishments so soon as they have worked up their present stocks of cotton: Amongst commercial and business men (Govern ment contractors excepted) there is almost universal satisfaction with the peaceful news from America ; but now that the possibility of war, for some weeks past the all-absorbing topic of discussion, has been satisfactorily disposed of, the other great question of anxiety, which had naturally been thrown a little in the shade—" What are we to do for cot ton ?"—has again become prominent. Many of our most enterprising and practical men are be ginning to look this question in the face, and treat it in a sensible and rational way, now that there is no longer any encouragement to look to the very doubtful success which might have resulted from (Telling the Southern ports, and they are turning their attention to tke inferior staples obtainable from India and other sources. There is some PRICE. .... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. reason for believing that this is being done with much greater success than at one time was consi dered practicable. Much finer counts have been spun out of it than were ever b e f ore attempte d , an d by a judicious mixing of such cotton with better staples a still more satisfactory result is being attained. Our machinists are rendering good ser vice in this direction, and the inventions of Mr. Edward Lord, of Todmorden, for the better clean ing and opening of cotton, and by one of which the first successful attempt is made to separate the leaf from the fibre in the process of scutching, have naturally attracted a good deal of attention. Messrs. Lord Brothers, who are very extensive makers of machinery, and who, about six months ago, were on the point of placing their workmen on short time, have now, it is said, not only to tax their utmost resources to execute the orders accumulat ing, but have in some cases been obliged to grant licenses under their patent to enable other machi nists to assist them in meeting the demand for the new machines. In Manchester it has been usual in times of depressed trade like the present for machine makers to be very seriously affected, and according to official returns issued this week by Captain Palin, chief constable of police, out of 47 machine shopi, eight are on short time, and one is totally stopped. Nevertheless there are not wanting grounds for the supposition that many of the larger and better reputed makers of machines for cotton trade are now very fully em ployed. One of them mentioned to the writer, the other day, that in one department of the works of his firm, they had already in hand orders which would keep them fully employed till July, and in another till September, and that there was scarcely a spinner and manufacturer of eminence and capital, in the town and neighbourhood, that was not giving out orders for the replacement of old machinery with more recent inventions, and with a class of machines more adapted to the present requirements of the trade. These orders are partly due to the adaptation of machinery to a different staple of cotton to that they have been accustomed to use, and partly to the fact that they can better afford to stop their mills in times like the present for the purpose of such alterations. The impression of many in the trade appears to be that cotton will go higher, and that, even if the American ports were opened, the supply for a long time will be so limited as to necessitate high rates; high rates in cotton and manufactured goods leading to a great contrac tion of the demand. The high rates now current are limiting the demand for the home trade ; and if that is the case in a wealthy country like this, it is argued, it is still more likely to be the case in foreign markets, where there is a lower u oivilisation, and where freights, duties, and other charges have to be added to the cost. The home trade is said to be de pressed to an extent not known for a long time past, whilst in India the supplies are reported to be nearly equal to a year'e consumption, And in addition to the depression of these important markets it is well known that there has been a very serious shock to our trade with the United States of America. The market not only closes dull to-day, but it is found that with higher prices for cotton and yarn there is but little disposition on the part of mer chants to follow the rise, by giving prices that will cover the increased cost of cloth to the maker. A manufacturer states that he sold yarns yesterday at a price fully 7 per cent. higher than he could have obtained for it to-day, if he had turned it into cloth. lr ~~ ~ ld //- t c ESSAYS AND _REVIEWS. The case of the Bishop of Salisbury v. Dr, Wil- I liams was resumed on Saturday morning in the Arches Court, before Dr. Lushington. Dr. Phillimore continued the consideration of the 11 th article, meeting the account of the deluge given by Dr. Williams by the words of Genesis, in which that event is referred to. In the same way the smiting of the Assyrians was supported by the text of Holy Writ, and the extract from the Essay in reference to this point only showed the careless ness of Dr. Williams, who, as he was wrong in his quotations from Paley, was equally wrong in his citations frem Scripture, for the " visible angel" was mentioned in the account given in the Book of Kings, and there was not, therefore, the discrepancy between the descriptions of Kings and Chronicles which Dr. Williams attributed. The words of Scripture were also sufficient to convict Dr. Wil liams for his opinions regarding the smiting of the firstborn, the passage of this Red Sea, and the offer ing up of Isaac, and in regard to the first-mentioned of these events, Dr. Phillimore declared the inter pretation of the essayist to be untenable, from the improbability that the Bedouin host, if they were the destroyers, should select for destruction the first born. Again, there was no authority whatever for saying that it was in obedience to Molech, the author of the fierce ritual of Syria, that Abraham was about to sacrifice his son. Upon this point Dr. Warburton had been quoted is support of Dr. Williams's opinion. According to his (Dr. Philli more's) view, the decisions in the Gorham case and in the case of Burder v. Heath would not justify Dr. Williams by the words quoted from Dr. Warburton, even if those words would bear the construction tput upon them, for it had never been said that an isolated opinion in a book of orthodoxy could sanction a gross heresy. But the fact was that Dr. Warburton 's argument was that net only was this the most important and divine historical record, and he had carried it even further than others had done, for he said that the three days that Abraham remained in Mount Moriah was also typical of the Saviour. Under the next article, with the extracts quoted before him, no one could doubt that Dr. Williams denied that salvation was purchased by the bodily pangs of Christ ; and could any rational being doubt for a moment that this language was inconsistent with the awful language of the Litany, and struck at the root of the doctrine of the sufferings of our Lord having purchased man's redemption P And in this, as in the following articles relating to the New Testament, the learned counsel submitted that no clergyman had a right, with such levity and c a a w r f e e le l ss m n y es s s te a r s ie D s r t . o W w i a e h m had do e d f e o r n r e e , d t o to l e a a v p e p t e h a e r contradictory to the formularies of the Church of England and the plain teaching of the Bible, and then to come into a court of justice to suggest a method by which the obvious meaning of his words might be explained away. The learned counsel, after remarking that the articles were divided under two heads, the one relating to God's Word written, and the other to the cardinal doctrines of the Church of Christ, concluded his address in these words :—" With respect to the former, we contend that while the Church has wisely abstained from giving any definition of inspiration, she has most rightly and most clearly excluded that sense which would be bringing down the Bible to the level of a poem written by Milton, or a sermon composed by Luther. With regard to the second division, we contend that while the Church has left to ordained ministers full liberty to criticise the text and inves tigate the history of Holy Writ, she has not ac corded to them the license of denying all the his torical facts according to the fancy of each particut lar minister, with the truth of whic h the .greta e ut o tithe r doctrines of our salvation, all that gives. dignnityano Theses ssu the life, and hope to the death of a Ct are inextricably weeoot a e n n d d f f o o r L e T ve h r e b i r or e d positions soundness are about to be submittedtothe r o u f d t e h b e u se t necessary criterion of the admissibilitynga l u s P Ou n articles in the Court of the pAerscihtbiososhsoapreofthCe result bury.

Within the liberties of these her formularies the mightiest intellects of England —the greatest writers and thinkers which have ever adorned the literature of this or any other country in Christendom—have been expressed. In the much vaunted learning of the essay before us there is nothing but the revival of the exploded heresies and discarded evidences of the earlier heretics and the later infidels. But if it were otherwise, if it were true, as we experimentally know it to be false, that by establishing the admissibility of these articles we should have an unlearned church, better, I say, to have a church which in the opinion of some may not be learned than a church which in the opinion of all must be dishonest. Better would it be—a thou sand times better, at the risk of any religious con vulsion—that the canons, the articles, the formula- r , re'r G e_ N EWSPAPER d_) ries of the church should b . new legislation than that it 0it,(41.44:,-,ie , 'e ing to the theory of this gen l this description, containing tae.9:., 10P373-oee .; • • and the plainest engagements, tt obligations the subscription to vq,ke t h manner equally destructive to theaitg"an le morals of the people of this country, both clergy and laity, be set at naught by the most disingenuous sophistry and the most palpable untruth." Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., followed on the same side, and stated his intention of confining his argument to a comparison of the published opinion of Dr. Williams with the legal documents of the church, which had the authority not only of the church but of the Parliament of this country. He then proceeded to quote a number of additional authorities, includ ing Du Cange's Glossary on the word canon, and tha Ecclesiastical Polity" of Hooker. In his second book Hooker was commenting on the notion Nthieli was now called " bibliolatry," namely, that as Holy Scripture contained all things necessary to salva tion, nothing but the bare letter of the Bible was required as a rule of faith and practice. No doubt t here were many passages in Hooker's second book, that, taken away from their context and from the main argument of the work, might seem to make ibr his learned friends ; but they were not really contrary to those which had been q'ioted for the promoter, and did not in the slightest degree imp aga the absolute perfection of Scripture, for the ends to which it was designed, its inspiration and paraanoent authority. The Church of England had declared that there were certain limits within which she allowed no private judgment whatever, although without those limits she gave her members, whether lay or clerical, the fullest liberty of inquiry. For example, disputed texts, or the authorship of the Epistle to the Hebrews, were topics:on which she permitted the utmost latitude of discussion, but she did not allow the canonicity or the inspiration of any canonical bock to be called in open question, He did not term the Church of England an ble Church, but she was doubtedly an authoritative one. If a clergyman came to a conclusion other than that which she indicated she said to him, " Whether you are right is known only to God, but you cannot hold your opinions and also your living." As to this Epistle to the Hebrews, Messrs. Cony beare and Howson, in their recent work on St. Paul, said there was no book of the Bible as to whose authorship there had been more doubt, or as to whose inspiration there had been less. There had also, it was quite true, been a discussion as to the authorship of the Apocalypse—whether St. John. the Apostle, or even John Mark, had been the writer of it, but there had never been the slightest doubt as to the canonicity of the book itself. There was no one for whom it was possible for him (Mr. Cole ridge) to have more respect than for Dr. Arnold. No doubt in his younger days Dr. Arnold felt so much of doubt that he had had great hesitation in taka ing orders ; but those scruples had been removed as his judgment grew more ripe, and there was no reason whatever for thinking he had ever questioned that the Epistle to the Hebrews was a portion of the sacred Scriptures. No one, in fact, who had ever enjoyed the blessing of five minutes' conversa tion with Dr. Arnold could ever believe that he had the slightest doubt about the authority of the epistle, whatever opinion he might hold as to its date or authorship. The learned counsel then protested strongly against the idea that Bishop Butler could be claimed as an authority on the other side. Only fancy Hooker and Butler being told that they would ever be quoted to show that Luther and Milton had received an inspiration—differing it might be in de gree—but an inspiration identical in kind with that of the prophets and apostles. Could any one doubt that such an idea would have been repudiated by them with the utmost indignation and horror ? But if it was not contended that they thought Luther and Milton inspired in the biblical sense, to what end were passages from their works distorted from their context and clothed with a meaning that their authors never intended ? It might be asked how inspiration was to be defined ? He answered in the language of a celebrated French Protestant cler gyman recently deceased (AdolpheMonod), namely, that it was impossible to know how the Spirit of God and the spirit of man could be so combined as to make the Bible at once a Divine Word, higher than the heavens, and a human word brought home to ourselves. In fact it was just as inexplicable as the union of the divine and human nature in the person of Christ. In the eighth article it was alleged that Dr. Williams had contended not only that there was no predictive element in the pro phets, but that a man was a fool that believed there was, and that if we retained our miserable insular prejudices in favour of inspiration, it was only our being out of the hearing of German ridicule that prevented us from drowning ourselves in the Themes. But, it was surely not op — en to any clergy man to contend that the prophecies of Scripture con tained no real predictions, and that if any passages appeared to be such, they were to be accounted for in the same manner as Pagan prophecies which seemed to foretell future events, but were really nothing but wiso sayings or chance expressions which had been verified by the result. The greatest book on this subject was Dean Lyail's " Propdia Prophetica," which consisted of his Boyle lectures. It was a work which he ventured to think had not yet received its due meed of praise, but which to a lawyer's mind was very charming to read. That work was designed to show that the Founder of our religion and his disciples had relied chiefly on the prophets in proof of His mission. in the first ages the gospel presented no one feature which could have been relied on as affording grounds for hoping its ultimate success. Nevertheless a miraculous cha•- racter had been impressed upon it by the prophetic declarations contained in the Old Testament ; and it prospered in spite of obstacles that might well have been regarded as insurmountable. In fact, the great argument of all the primitive Christian apologists was the wonderful progress the faith had made, and the concurrence of that actual state of things with the predictions of the sacred writers. Such was also Dean Lyall's argument, and the learned coun sel quoted at considerable length from his " Pro predia Prophetica," protesting, however, against the injustice which was done it by any mere desultory extracts. Mr. Coleridge was still speaking when the court rose. DEATH OF A CARRON 'WORKMAN WORTH TEN TIIOUSAND FOUNDS. On Monday, John Andrew, a Carron workman, died at the ripe age of 73. John was a remarkable specimen of a hard-working, frugal living, canny Scotchman. For upwards of 60 years he had been connected with the Carron Ironworks, during which time he had succeeded in amassing a fortune for a working man. For about the last five years ho had retired from labour.

He was never known to spend a single farthing on luxuries, pre ferring to everything, "The halesome parritch Wale o' Scotia's food," and such primitive fare; and it was deficient neither in bone-forming, flesh-forming, or health-giving qualities, It was said, however, when John was alive, that his frugality extended to niggardliness. We have it on excellent authority that about eight years ago, when his wife died, he asked permission of his employers to attend her funeral, and although at that time worth about £6,000, he actually re turned to work immediately after having paid the last respects to the remains of his partner in life. His anxiety to pursue his daily avocation was in order to secure the f ull day's pay. It is further said that despite his wealth he once craved one of his foraae n n h d a buying texactf s p o we t na h ns a y t hh hwhich g • g • h h s iws t h a b i ns e a o :u nw s t e e h i t d n e a gtrhoyeh tran s - a w i v m e i g s s t h o scrupulously o a n ct e io i n n s eac W h hand The most remarkable anecdote we have heard of him is the following :—About twenty years ago, he chanced to take ill, and as he seriously thought he was dying, bethought himself how matters stood with reference to futurity. Evidently wishing to atone for his earthly deficiencies, he made a hand some donation (somewhere about £250), to the Rev: Mr. Welch, late of the West U.P. Church, for the purpose of establishing a native teacher in Caffraiia. Regaining health, he demanded back the sum. It is not known exactly how his wealth will ulti mately be distributed. His heir-at-law is a younger brother. According to report, a large sum has been made over to bible societies and Colonial missions. He had such a wonderful reverence for the first six peue he ever earned that he kept it for sixty years.—Falkirk Herald. *7 CRYSTAL PALACE.—HALF-A-CROWN DAY.—Sa turday, Jan. 11.—Admission on payment, 869 ; ditto by season tickets, 1,779 ; total number of visitors, 2,648.
