At 111 anchester the only branch of the market Whi ch shows any improvement is that for shipping Yarns, for which prices have been given by shippers I descrip tionshieh they re f use d on T ues d ay. I n some y, of these y arns a ra th er cons id era bl e b us i ness has been d one. In yarns fur home trade consump "cia there has been a little mure inquiry, and a fair `'mount of offers have been made, but at prices W hich sell ers are not d i sposed to accept at present, bein g in many instancts id. per lb. l ower th an the y want. In the cloth-market we have a very d e Pressed state of things since Tuesday. Some few _. of fers have b een ma d e certa i n ly, b u t a t p r i ces in dicating a very serious decline apou the rates quoted by manufacturers. In some few cases these offers have been accepted, but the business effected under the circumstances has not been large. It an undoubted fact, however, that values in India g e cKis and the better description of T-cloths, which hav e b een accumu l at i ng i n stock for some time past, are decidedly lower; that kind of irre gularity o f the market which usually accompanies depression makes it difficult to form any estimate of what the decline really is. 10-day there is still an a bsence o f any h ealthy demand for goods, but sonic few speculative offers are still in th e mar k e t. W e do Lot hear of much business having been done at th e rates indicated, and our market closes with a 'Very depressed feeling. A telegram from New York announces that the Erie Railway Company have deposited their stock register with one of the Trust Companies of New - 0 1‘n tk , in compliance with the requirements of the 'weard of Brokers, and that an advance of $4 per "hare had ensued, owing to the amount proving to he less than had been apprehended.

All the necessary legal formalities have thus been complied with, but there remains the more arduous task of reducing theory to practice. The Temps expresses a very general feeling when it says that the country would gladly have seen it accompanied by the decree convoking the Corps L6gislatif. Of this, however, there is as yet no sign. The Patric argues at some length on the subject, endeavouring to prove that in the present position of affairs a hastily-convened cession of the Chambers would be of little service, and declares that the Government should be allowed sufficient time to realise the popular expectations, and to prepare the laws and the amendments which it wishes to submit to the deputies in the ensuing- session. It is rather ominous that the Patrie should add that " some months of labour, of reflection, and of research will hardly suffice for this task." However, the writer kindly adds that, in consideration of the state of affairs, it may be desirable to anticipate the ordinary date for the opening of the session. The end of November, according to this shewing, will be the most suitable time for the convocation of the Corps lA;islatif. We may hope that wiser counsels will prevail, and that we shall not be condemned to so long a period of political inaction at a time when so much excite- ment prevails, but I have hoard the 15th of November frequently spoken of as the probable date. At one time it was, I believe, intended to have a short session for the sole purpose of confirming the late election, but it was speedily perceived that such a session would infallibly bring in its train long debates on the questions of the day—debates that might very probably extend until the grand session itself. In high quarters there is no great desire to see the legislative battle recommence, but I do not think much will be gained by prolonging the popular impatience. Emile de Girardin declares that the promulgation of the Senatus-Consultum must either be regarded as the close of the present old or as the inauguration of a new reign. He assures the Emperor, with unflinching boldness, that he has one choice left him, and only one—the choice between Constitutional Government, as in 1831, and the Republic, as in 1848, with the GrAry amendment. He must regard the despotic authority which he has wielded during the last seventeen years as his mortal enemy. The fate of the Empire, in reality, depends upon the first Ministry which he selects. You will observe that a change in the composition of the Ministry need not excite much surprise. I hear that the Government has advised Don Carlos to embark for England, and threatened that in the event of a refusal he will be confined to one of the towers in the North of France. It is said that General Prim declared, in one of the conversations he lately held in Paris, that the refusal of Don Fernando of Portugal to accept the crown of Spain would cost his country its existence as a kingdom, for the chances of an Iberir.n Republic were becoming more and more probable. The Algerian Democrats have given a grand banquet to M. Jules Favre. M. Cesar Bertholon, the Democratic candidate in one of the circumscriptions of the Loire, made a long speech on the relations of Algeria to France. M. Favre, in his address, declared that he was neither one of the "irreconcilcables," nor one of those who would follow the Emperor's chariot. He had been a politician before the enterprise of 1851, and since then he remained convinced that no honest man would grasp the hand of those who profited by that attempt. With regard to the present reforms, M. Favre openly declared that so long as supreme power was not placed on its true basis, so long as official candidates were maintained, the mayors were nominated by personal power and a standing army over• whelmed the Budget, he considered nothing had been done. Such was his profession of faith. The Emperor has has experienced any inconve thence from the fatigues of his first drives. Today he drove through Paris with the Empress. The other day large crowds assembled in the neighbour hood of the Tuileries, in order to catch a glimpse of the Emperor if he should chance to come ; but, to the general disappointment, he was not able to appeal on that occasion. The most contradictory stories are told respecting the Empress's journey to the East. Some declare that it is quite determined upon ; and that all the necessary arrangements have been made on board the yacht Eagle, the Empress proposing to embark about the sth of October. On the other hand, it is positively affirmed that the Empress will not go at all, in conse quence of the uncertain state of the Emperor's health. M. de la Tour d'Auvergne, the Foreign Minister, is said to be very unwilling that the Empress should undertake this journey. At Biarritz, an impression prevails that the Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince Imperial, will shortly arrive there, but the announcement must, at any rate, be looked upon as a premature one. Prince Napoleon has left Paris to take a trip iu hip yacht. He will visit the coasts of Italy, but he is not likely to be long absent. The invitations for the grand inauguration of the Isthmus of Suez Canal have been issued. The expedition will be divided into two parties. Those who wish to visit Uppet Egypt and the cataracts will leave Paris at the beginning of October, but the others will not start till :November. The French Press will probably send a hundred and fifty representatives. A party of photographers will aecom• pany the expedition, who will reproduce the principal scenes of this exceptional voyage.

Tho Saturday Review observes that it is plain enough from what quarter the enemies of the'French Empire will come. Where it is to look for its friends is not so easily ascertained. Under an intensely bureaucratic Govern• ment there must always be a large number of persons whose interests are on the side of the Executive. The wage-paying power will always have a strong claim on the affections of prudent men. But there are already some signs that this tie is losing its force. It is not to be supposed that all the members of the Third Party were struck at one and the same instant with a sudden sense of the beauty of freedom. Many of them 11;0 gone down to the departments only a month or two earlier as official candidates, and we may be sure that a: official candidate has always a certain stake in the continuance of the Empire. If he does not make money by it himself, he makes money by it in the person of his son or his brother. It was difficult in looking over. the names appended to the Interpellation to forget the ugly proverb which chronicles the prudence of rats. There is something extremely catching in self preservation, and if men have been found to desert the Empire while its ostensible strength was unimpaired, their numbers are not likely to decrease when the system has been discredited by revolutionary changes and weakened by the death of its founder. Nor is more reli ance to be placed upon the Conservatism which has been the Empire's best support in former years. Conservatism in France is neither a principle nor a tradition ; it is simply an instinct. As such, it has undoubted strength ; but then, from the Imperial point of view, it has also its characteristic weakness. It justifies its title to being a providential inspiration by being always on the side of the strongest battalions. It has held stoutly by the Empire, because in the Empire it has seen safety. So soon as the Empire ceases to impress the world with strength, it will cease to have any attraction for French Conservatives. They will be rather anxious to dissociate themselves from its falling fortunes. It has protected them against socialism for seventeen years, but now that its power of protecting them seems vanishing, it is time to look else where for help. The army may offer a more trustworthy support for the moment, but no one can say to what extent the apparent divorce between the soldiers and the people is really genuine ; and the army, even when it is most a machine., is a machine in the hands of its generals. French troops have sometimes shown an unexpected sensibility to popular impulses, and even if their professional feeling remains unimpaired, it may not lead them to support a sovereign who for some years to come can only be a cipher in the field. Is it any wonder, then, that France trembles with suppressed excitement, and that the European Exchanges watch for each telegram from Paris with an uneasy feeling that it may prove the herald of a catastrophe? While the Emperor lives there may be peace ; but what when the Emperor dies? The Spectator thinks that Lord Ifartington's speech at the Cutlers' Feast at Sheffield was not meant exactly to rally together the proprietary interests of the present House of Commons against all other interests for the con sideration of the Irish land question. But it was not a very wisely-toned speech, and reads uncommonly like a note of warning from one of the greatest proprietors in the Cabinet that all sorts of dangerous proposals are on the cards, which it will require resolute combination amongst men of all political opinions who are attached to the rights of property to resist. Lord llartington says expressly that the Irish land question should not be considered as a party question—should not, as he rather mysteriously puts it, be 'made "the battle-horse of party" (does he mean the battle-ground? the battle•horse of party would usually be what parties fight with, and not what they fight about) t but should be considered without relation to party rivalries. He then hints, with an emphasis and.signi tieance that will convey to. many people his wish for external aid against members of his own party, that "it is not only the property of Irish landlords, it is not only the property of English landlords, it is property of all kinds which - will be at stake. For do not suppose for a moment that any discussion wilt arise next year, or that any measure can be passed with Out principles and doctrines being enunciated equally hostile, not only to the interests of landlords, but of capitalists of every description." As Lord Hartington probably knows that nothing has the slightest chance of being passed which is not supported by the Government with all its weight, the legitimate inference would be—we do not say it is the intended one, for Lord Ilartington is sometimes a clumsy sp?aker, who need not necessarily be credite.l titi ith having put into his words what other people take out of them - that the speaker fears the tendency of some members of the Cabinet to which l►e belongs, and is anxious thus early to alarm the proprietary fears of the country into making a stand against these tendencies. if that was his meaning, his speech would bode very ill for tl►e unity of the Govern ment. With all deference to Lord Ilartington, we do not think that to make the land question what he calls "the I,attle-horse" of money interests, instead of the ," battle- horse " of political or even religions sympathies, is at all likely to improve the character of the warfare. The new antagonisms will be sharper than the old, and much vul garer as well. Political principles are usually interests and something more— it. terests raised out of pure selfishness into a higher region —interests transformed by disinterested sympathies. While Liberals feel that they are fighting for their old cause, the Government of Ireland on principles as near as may be to those on which Ireland, if out of the Union • would wish to govern herself—while Toriei feel that they are fighting for the integrity of the Empire, and resisting a process which they conceive to threaten the vitality and unity of their country, there will at least be dignity and nobility about thh; strife. But if the advice of the alarmist junior in the Cabinet is to be followed, and men, forgetting their higher political diffe rences, are to range themselves instead according to the instincts of their pocket and the timidities of their purse, we may no doubt have the Irish land question taken out of the category of party questions, but only that it may become the rallying-point of a far more ignoble struggle— one in which companions in arms will desert each other under pretext of fidelity to the higher promptings of menaced rent-rolls and endangered investments. The John Bull declares that few things have been more noteworthy than the wisdom and Church•like con duct of the archbishops and bishops of the Irish Church in this epoch of trial and difficulty. They have taken the one step which was needed to vindicate the continuity of their Church. They have summoned their clergy to meet in synod. It will probably not be long now before the Convocation of the clergy associates with itself a repre sentative body of the laity ; and where this is done, and the two bodies work in harmony under their archbishops and bishops, the hour of peril for the Irish Church will have passed. There will be a national Church of Ireland. It will be for the Roman intruders then to beware in their - turn. But this we would again impress upon the Synods of the clergy, and then assume this of the laity—that they must each respect the other's rights, and not encroach on matters not proper to their sphere. There are rumours of the Orange laity insisting on the revision of the Prayer-book ; and an injudicious bishop has given some countenance to the rumours by an expression as injudicious as that he applied to Mr. Gladstone. The Prayer-book is the law of doctrine for the clergy ; they are bound by it ; they have to abide by it. It is not foe the laity, or for a mixed Convocation of clergy and laity to alter or revise the Prayer-book. The clergy must keep their Convocation, consisting of the two provincial Synods, fused together for discussions of doctrine. They must carefully maintain its rights and preserve its con stitution, for they will need it in the future ; while in the Convention formed by the clergy and the laity the future organisation of the Church must be settled. And may it be settled upon a wise and Church-like foundation ! We shall watch them not without eager and interested attention. The Economist remarks that two new influences have lately acted on the money market, and strangely they appear to have co-operated and produced the same effect, though if examined they ought to have in part counter. acted one another and produced opposite effects. The sudden death of the Emperor Napoleon might and pro bably would cause much confusion in France and much alarm in Europe ; but, judging from past analogies, it would contribute to cheap money. After February lA4B, much money was sent here from the Continent ; in a period of diffused continental trouble, such as a great French crisis always creates, English investments have commonly been looked on as the only safe ones. The spare money of Europe is sure to come here. A revolu tion caused by the sudden death of the Emperor would be more likely to cause this than any other kind of revolu tion. Everything in France has so long in reality depended on the Emperor only that no one would say what his death would do or would not do. It would cause more uncertainty than had ever been caused before, and in proportion to that uncertainty would be the increase of the money coming here. More people would doubt of all continental s ecurities, and more there fore would transmit their money to England. Little English money would go abroad, and much foreign money wonld come here. The effect of the great fall in securities at Vienna—the second cause which has this week affected the Xtock Exchange—is, as far as it g oes, precisely the contrary. It has long been known that Austria was going " too fast." The banks and other lenders have been lending too much: the active classes have been doing too much. Both are now stopped. The day of reckemng has come. Those who audaciously made engagements have now to perform them, and, in consequence, they press on the market all saleable secu rities ; the price of such securities suddenly falls, and the general and smble» depression causes distrust and appre hension on every Stock Exchange. Now this event, so far suit affects the English money market at all, will tend to dear money. for it is sure to draw some money from hence. The securities depressed are mostly continental securities of a good class, su'Ai as German banks and capi talists held as a reserve, and such as they can offer sud denly on the market with a good chance of sale. And these are the sort of securities which are more and more coming into deserved favour with English capitalists. The Vienna panic therefore will not probably produce any very great effect here, though these will be good so far as they go just now when we have more money than we well know what to do with. In all respects, it is the opposite of the event with which it has been coupled. The death of the Emperor is a supposed event of great size, which, if real, would cause cheap mmey. Thepanie at Vienna is a real cause of small magnitude, which , as far 48 it acts, will tend to cause dear uloneT. 51141 M LIST. ORDINARY SHAIOM:3 AND STOCKS. :;hare Railways.

Tho annual lotting of land for the erection of temporary booths at Doncaster was held on Tuesday, when there was a very large attendance.

Mr. Blenkiron having been relieved of his annual donation of £l,OOO, the Jockey, Club, in ac cordance with their resolution, add 500 sovs, and the con ditions have been slightly varied, so that only maidens at starting, if they have run in public, will be entitled to a Bib allowance. The singing of Faure and Nilsson met with much enthusiasm at Baden. M. Strakosch has added Mr. Toni Hohler to his travelling troupe for performing Rossini's Mass. A sum of 4,300 francs has been collected for the erection of the Gluck memorial at Weidenwang, Bavaria. —Musical Standard. A WONDERFUL ENGINEERING OPERATION.—In the work of straightening and widening some of the very crooked streets of Boston it became necessary to move a huge building known as "Hotel Pelham." This building is of freestone, 96 feet high, and weighs ten thousand tons. It was movod 14 feet in three days, by means of rollers and screws, a portion of the sidewalk being also moved with IL So carefully and well was the work done that not a crack was made ;in the building, and nothing in it was at all disturbed. Large crowds of people watched the process, and the fastest time accom plished was two inches in four minutes. A large bank building adjoining the hotel was used to brace the screws against. A groat number of these screws, 21 inches long, were employed. $25,000 was paid the contractor for moving the hotel. The Charleston Courier is informed by a corres pondent that iu the upper part of the State of South Ca rolina there lives a young ea-Confederate soldier, whose leg was amputated during the war, near the thigh, After amputation the wound rapidly healed and he was sent home. About a year after a fleshy produce was seen to grow out of the flesh, which in the course of a few mouths tcok the shape of a foot, and since that time it has been growing finely, until now the man has a perfectly new foot and leg growing from his thigh, which, in a year or so, promises to supply the loss of his leg in the first instance. The North German Correspondent informs us that the steamship Frankfort has lately arrived in Bremen from the docks of Messrs. Caird and Co., at Greenock. It is the sixteenth ship belonging to the North German Lloyd, and the first of their vessels intended for the service between Bremen and New Orleans. Properly speaking the Frank fort will not open this line, as the North Gorman Lloyd has already sent several ships to . America to establish the necessary communications, but it will open tho regular ser• vice on the 15th Sept. From that date two steamers will start every month for New Orleans. Besides the two new vessels Frankfort and Hanover, the Bremen, the New York, and the Arminius will be employed on this line. Probably this line will be largely used by emigrants, and it can eas:ly take in cotton for Europe. It will also profit by the commerce of Cuba." TLe same paper states that collections of plants are daily arriving at Hamburgli for the Horticultural Exhibition, from England, France, and Belgium, and, though it is feared that marry valuable American sp3cimens may have been lost in the Germania, there can be no doubt that the international characterof the undertaking will be thoroughly sopported. The exotic plants already in the park lend it a tropic.il diameter. A number of articles composed of freshly cut or dried flowers are called fur some inscrutable reason "arrangements," and aro considered indispensable for the ' decorations of boudoirs. Almost all parts of Germany send some, but the most come from Hamburgh. About 160 judges have been named and divided into sections corre sponding with those of the program:lie, chiefly Germans, but England, France, Belgium, Holland, and even the North of Europe, aro represented. The houses and halls in which the more delicate plants are to 13J exhibited are complete, and the decoration is rapidly proceeding, while competent authorities are arranging the flowers as they arrive, to suit the architectural details of the building.
