It is always satisfactory to see a member of Par liament on good terms with his constituents—to find both parties mutually pleased, the representa tive with the electors, and the electors with the. representative. It speaks well for each and all. It is like " the quality of mercy," " twice blessed." Still more satisfactory is it to find those who had formerly been opponents, won over by the irre proachable conduct and sterling honesty of their member, by his indefatigable zeal and unflinching energy in fin-our of the general interests of the district, and of every inhabitant thereof, without reference to his political opinions. The habit that is now gradually springing up of honourable gentlemen appearing, d uring the Par liamentary vacation, before their constituencies, to render the accounts of their respective steward ships, and to consult as to the prospects of the future session, is positively beneficial. It greatly conduces to that good feeling which is so desirable on every side, corrects mistakes, smooths down asperities, and restores the entente cordiale when the member is really entitled to credit. Mr. JAMES WYLD, M.P. for Bodmin, has met the electors of the ,borough, and delivered a manly and straightforward speech, sound in prin ciple and eloquent in language, but, above and beyond all, characterised by independent honesty and clear views of the political past, present, and future of the British Empire. He was accom panied by the Mayor, who, although he had nct been one of Mr. WYLD'S supporters at the late election, and although there were still some slight differences on some questions, the Mayor bore will ing testimony to the unquestionable fact that in Mr. WYLD the constituency " possessed a most able, enlightened, efficient, and valuable member." This well-merited tribute of respect and esteem was received with enthusiastic applause by the crowded assembly. The rapturous cheering de livered by a large majority of the electros proved that, at all events, Mr. WYLD would have nothing to fear in the event of any new appeal to the coun try. His seat may, at all events, be regarded as safe under any circumstances. The hon. gentleman clearly explained the cause of the decline and fall of the PALMERSTON Minis try, and the reasons why, although anxious to support the Government of the noble Viscount in every point where he believed it to be [right, he was equally determined to oppose it when wrong. The Conspiracy to Murder Bill was a matter which he could not swallow. It was derogatory to the honour and inju rious to the interests of the country. It struck a fatal blow at one of our most time-honoured i nstitutions—the universal hospitality to the political refugee, no matter what may be the nature of his opinions, so long as he conducted himself properly and in accordance with British law, which gave shelter alike to Louts NAPOLEON and LEDRU ROLLIN, to METTERNICH and MAZZINI, and would never suffer its right of sanctuary to be invaded. Lord PALMERSTON had the largest majority with which any Minister was favoured for a series of years. He exulted in his streigth, and became in solent in the pride of his Prosperity. He abandoned the Liberal party, not the Liberal party him, and when ejected from office, he thought he had but to stretch forth his hands to regain the reins of power at any moment he thought however, reckoned without proper. He had, Liberal party had i:een his host. The really too thoroughly disgusted to be again caught with chaff. They required substantial pledges—a can did explanation of that fabulous Reform Bill, which was always promised, but never forthcoming—that was a species of political " Flying Dutchman" that only loomed through the mist in the hour of storm and danger, but never appeared during fair wea ther and plain sailing. Lord DERBY, therefore, received a fair trial, and the nation had cause of rejoici ng therefor. Mr. WYLD h as [f a i r l y state d the result. "He was, as an honest man, bound to say that more had been conceded during the past session than had been obtained from the so-called Liberal Government during several preceding ses sions." This is unexceptionable testimony from a genuine and true-hearted liberal, a man of such unquestionable veracity. It shows how well the Government has done, and how fully entitled Lord DERBY is to the support of the independent Libe rals, until at least Lord PALMERSTON offers some thing more worthy of general acceptance. On the Reform Bill " looming in the future," Mr. WYLD holds sound views. He is of opinion that " every man who paid a rate has a right to the franchise, and also every man who contributed to the taxation of the country ; but that no man ought to be entrusted with a vote who cannot read and write." This is a species of educational test which, perhaps, might fairly be adopted. It would encourage the spread of education, when every man would be ashamed of his ignorance, if it converted him into a political cypher. Mr. WYLD also strenuously advocated the Ballot : without that no measure can be acceptable to the country. Protection to thevoteris required against every corrupt influence against himself, as against every possible persecutor, whether priest, landlord, employer, customers—or rough. We earnestly commend Mr. WILD'S admirable speech, which will be found in another part of our impression, to the attention of our readers. It will be found well worthy of perusal. Notwithstanding the vituperation of the Times, another Thursday has passed, and the Bank of England has still maintained its minimum rate of discount at Three per cent. Whether the "Leading Journal" has become tired of the bootless onslaught, and has retired from the contest in disgust, or whether it is merely "nursing its wrath to keep it warm," is a matter only known to the presiding deities who haunt the secret recesses of Printing house Square. It is unanimously allowed by all save " the hard calculators," that the Directors are entitled to the greatest possible credit for their prudence and firmness in steadfastly resisting the pressure to which they were subjected. Bully ing and cajoling were alike useless, and they un hesitatingly refused to lend their aid to produce a mania which must inevitably, after a brief period, degenerate into a panic. The Times has made agreat concession. It admits that the Bank are not under any public obligation to accommodate their discount movements either to the state of the markets or any other condition, except such as may suit their own notions of expediency. This is kind on the part of the Thunderer, but pos sibly it might have been more highly appreciated if it had preceded, in place of following, the series of virulent attacks that have appeared from time to time during the present month. They may, however, now be permitted to do as they like with their own money, and refrain from fol lowing either the reckless or carefully-planned movement of the so-called money market. The business of the Bank of England is not to stimulate wild speculation by encouraging men to engage in transactions when money is a drug in the market, from which they cannot possibly ex tricate themselves without a terrible, possibly a ruinous loss. Its mission is to support the legiti mate trade and commerce of the country ; to promote the creation of national wealth, by giving reasonable assistance to manu facturers of every class. These men do not ask for money, at less than 3, or even 4 per cent. That iss - quite cheap enough for all their purposes. With that they can keep their mills and factories working full time, and can give abundant employ ment to every man, woman, or child , able and ing to work. They do not even get the benefit of the reduction when it is made. It is the large capitalists, the money-brokers, and " hard calcula tors," who receive the sole benefit of the fall; and surely they are not parties entitled to any very high degree of public sympathy. There is one fact which the Times cannot ex plain, and which fully justifies the pro ceedings of the Directors, if they wanted any justification. The amount of their balances has experienced no diminution !" There is no rush of depositors to withdraw their accounts, no stern refusal of those having discount accounts to submit their paper to the Bank. They have just as much business as they are disposed to do. There is gene rally at this time of the year a reduction in the other securities, in consequence of the payment of the dividends, and the return of the advances made on Government Stock, or other public securities. The reserve of notes and the stock of bullion have also been reduced, and certainly these are :not circum stances that should induce the Bank to relax its caution, in order to play the game of the " hard calculators." While the Bank was allowed the discretion, that ought never to have been taken away, the rate of discount never varied more than from 4 to 5 per cent. save for a few months during the American panic of 1838-9, During that time it was never compelled to solicit indulgence. Every one, of course, knows that from 1797 to 1821 the Bank note was inconvertible. No man could take it to the Bank, or insist on instant payment in bullion. But, neverthelesss, it possessed the purchasing power. No man who possessed a £1 Bank of England note need remain hungry or thirsty : he possessed to that extent a command over all the necessaries and luxuries of life. He could pay rent or taxes—fearlessly encounter butcher or baker, tailor or shoemaker. If engaged in foreign trade; he found the means of meeting his engagements by going into the market, and purchasing either approved bills or gold or silver bullion at the current rate of exchange. There were few, if any, well-founded complaints put forward respecting the scanty of a suitable mea sure and representative of value—still Less were there any remonstrances against an excessive issue. Large fortunes were realised. Every man enjoyed a fair degree of prosperity, and that notwithstanding the most enormous taxi . tion and the most oppressive burdens to which any nation was ever subjected. The £1 note was the enchanter's wand that produced all these miraculous results. The £l, wb tich again saved the country in 1825 from bankri iptcy and ruin, but which by an act of senseless in gratitude was at once and for ever banished from England, although it has still found an abiding place in Scotland and Ireland. With really national notes of small and convenient denominations, we should obtain that " fixity" in the value of money that is so urgentl) 7 required. We should no longer find the rate a f discount vibrating between 1 and 20 per cent. ' We should not find money a drug at one mor rent, and impossible to be obtained at nost any sacrifice at another. We should not have the industrious middle classes delivered c aver, bound • hand and foot, and placed at the tende t • mercies of "the hard calculators." Every small ( ionler would not then necessarily be absorbed by 'tate larger ones. He would have a fair chance, at sill events, and that he is entitled to receive, and wov ad obtain, if he only exerted himself steadily and energeti cally. The Hon. R.

CENTRAL INDIA. The advanced force under Captain Mayne, con sisting of 420 sabres of the Malwa Field Force, reached Seronge on the 30th of September, but found that the enemy under Tantio. Topee had broken up his camp, and retreated towards Esan ghur. This place the rebels attacked and captured on the 2d of October. Brigadier Smith, with his force from Goonah, reached Esanghur on the morning of the sth of October. The enemy, with his guns and elephants, had the same morning, at sunrise, left the place for Chundaree. Brigadier Smith's cavalry, how ever, succeeded iu capturing four guns. Eight hundred Sowars had been despatched by the rebel leaders to plunder Ranade (qy.). A combined movement is proposed for hemming the enemy in at Chundaree by the Mhew Field Force, the force under Brigadier Smith, and the troops at Goond, Saugor, and Oojein. Major-General Michel has been placed in com mand of the troops serving in Rajpootana and Cen tral India. With the exception of a slight Bheel disturbance in Khandeish the Bombay Presidency is quiet. Her Majesty's 46th Regiment and the left wing of Her Majesty's 91st have arrived in Bombay from Suez. The former has gone to Sinde. H. L. ANDERSON, Secretary to Government.

Several gallant affairs have taken place in various parts of Oude, all ending in the total rout and great destruction of the enemy, with trifling loss on our side. The campaign has not yet commenced, but Lord Clyde has left Allahabad for Cawnpore, en route for Lucknow meanwhile the rebels are stated to be still in great numbers and ravaging the coun try, and sorely oppressing the inhabitants where ever our troops are not posted.

The Minister of the Interior in Prussia has issued a circular to the local authorities on the coming elections. The document states that the Government attaches great importance to them, and that it is the duty of the functionaries who may participate directly or indirectly in them, to endea vour to cause men who are capable, of tried fidelity, and acquainted with public affairs to be elected. It declares, however, that they must not exercise any constraint over the electors, threatening to with draw from them any advantages which they may possess :—they must in particular abstain from em ploying the police. But even under these condi tions, says the circular, a vast field remains open to the activity of functionaries, and in particular of sub-prefects, since the latter, in concert with the influential men of their districts, onwhose co-opera tion they may reckon, can prepare the elections in preliminary meetings, cause able men to be chosen as candidates, and energetically oppose all bad tendencies. As to functionaries, they must, the circular declares, not be prevented on account of their quality from becoming candidates, inasmuch as that would deprive the Chamber o experienced business men ; but on the other hand only functionaries who are determined to support the Government must be chosen. The circular concludes by insisting on the high importance of the result of the election under present circum stances.—Letters from Berlin state that the primary assemblies will name the electors on Nov. 12, and that the election of deputies will take place on the 23d. following. CHINA. CANTON, SEPT. 10. On 26th Aug. Peh-qui received the seals of office as Governor of the province of Kwangtung, vice Yeh, removed to Calcutta. The junks conveying the seals left Fatu Creek early in the morning of that day, an order having been issued to French and English vessels stationed in that quarter to allow them to pass. The presentation took place at Peh qui's yamun, where for so long he has been under surveillance, and was a strange and interesting sight for Western eyes to behold. '•Some 40 or 50 man darins of blue, white, and gold buttons, with or without peacocks' feathers, were in at tendance in their quaint but handsome costumes, accompanied by a large number of servants in livery somewhat corresponding to the dresses of their masters. After the installation a levee was held, and, as we stopped for that, we had an opportunity of remarking more particularly the various costumes. The inner garment is like a very long rochet, fas tening down the side, fitting close about the neck, and reaching to the ankles. It seemed to be constructed of silk, but was so covered over from end to end with dragons, butterflies, flowers, &c., in gold embroidery, that it was hard to say what the groundwork of so elaborate a garment might be. Over this was worn a shorter tunic, reaching to the knees, of silk gauze, and only orna mented with two square patches of embroidery, one on the chest, the other on the back ; on both of these was a repetition of dragons rampant and other unintelligible devices. The hats of all were conical, finely plaited from straw ; a thick tassel of red corded silk enveloped the top, and high above all stood the button, of the size of a large walnut. The few that had a peacock's feather to boot wore that appendage hanging behind from the base of the button. All had the thick, solid, clumsy boot one sees at every step in China, but the use we saw made of the same somewhat astonished us, as one venerable mandarin, after chin-chinning his friend, first put his hand down one leg of his boot and then the other to find where he had placed his pocket-book, wherein were documents of importance. At length, the article being found, the boot was re , adjusted, and the worthies retired into a corner to discuss contents. In the course of the day all guard was taken away, and Peh-qui became a free man. The blockade has been remitted, and there are signs lof a return of the people to their homes. Trade seems to have recommenced very vigorously, but we have not yet seen a return of the hundredth part of the furniture that was removed. The same week a very dashing little action was fought by the Surprise, despatch gunboat, Commader Cresswell, against a fleet of between 20 and 30 pirate junks, mounting in all some 300 guns. News was brought that they were anchored at the • other side of Kong, near the village of Stanley. The . Surprise was sent out, and On timing tbew they commenced firing imme diately. By keeping under weigh, the little gunboat completely bothered the junks, who no sooner got her range than they lost it again ; she the meanwhile plying them hard with shot and shell. One of the latter burst amongst the powder of a large junk, and blew up her and her neighbour alongside. The fleet then attempting to escape, the two boats of the Cambrian, which were in tow, and the boats of the Surprise, were sent away, and succeeded in destroying 17 and bringing away seven of the finest, carrying 104 guns. These were towed round to Hong Kong, and are now to be sold for the pecu riary benefit of the captors ; for a more honorary reward they must look elsewhere. We sincerely .b, ope they may not be disappointed. Since this another expedition after pirates has been made to the southward—Magicienne, In flexible, and Algerine being sent ; they did not meet with them in the numbers they expected, but destroyed many, though with a loss on our side of 12 or 14 men wounded. Capt. Peel's death-vacancy has made Commander .Slight, of Sanspareil, a post captain; Lieut. Doug las, of Coromandel, a worthy young officer, comman der ; and Mr. Fitzroy, of Sanspareil, a lieutenant. 'The fleet is already being dispersed. Sanspareil and Ameythyst have both left the river, the former to go home, the latter to the Pacific, Cormorant relieves Sanspareil at the Bogue, Esk goes down to Singapore and will afford a party to man Saracen, surveying vessel, about to be paid off at that port, At present Calcutta, Sanspareil, Cambrian, Amethyst, Magicienne, Elk, Esk, Inflexible, and sun dry gunboats, are at anchor in the harbour at Hong Kong. magicienne and Algerine go shortly to Amoy- EGYPT. Oct. 18.—The passa ge o f t roo p s t o In e time been int erru pt e d th roug h t i L a tA s Ng , ca the want of a ,suffieient number of transports on the Indian side of the Isthmus. The Oriental, which left about the 20th ult. for Bombay with the 91st, is now shortly expected at Suez, and on her arrival the 3d Buffs will probably be brought for ward from Corfu, where for some time past they have been in readiness for embarkation. It will be observed from this that a new system had been brought into operation, which, although it entails same slight loss of time, will prevent the recurrence of the long detentions at Alexandria to which the troops have so often been subjected. It is now almost superfluous to say that the journey through Egypt is performed with the utmost facility, and every possible comfort both to men and officers. The Suez Railway may at length be looked upon as rapidly approaching its entire completion, and with its progress that which from the first was attended with little or nothing else but imaginary obstacles is daily becoming more and more simple and easy. Occasionally we hear of remonstrances on the part of the commanding officers with reference to the accommodation on board the Indian steamers, but in no case do there appear to have been any com plaints of discomfort on the journey from Alexan dria to Suez. said Pasha evinces a desire to second the wishes of the British Government in every way in his power, and takes a personal interest in all the arrangements that have been entered into. The result will, of course, not be unattended with ad vantages to the transit department in a pecuniary point of view ; but our acknowledgments will not be considered the less due to the Viceroy for the courteous and friendly feelings manifested by his conduct. The fares paid for tho transit of the troops are £5 per head for the officers and £3 for the men. This will doubtless be an increasinc , sourse of profit to the railway administration, at7d the ordinary traffic of the railway bids fair to advance with even more rapid strides. The Egyptian can hardly fail soon to become perfectly alive to the fact that that they hold in their han d s a rail way, the prospects of which, as a, by those of commercialany Government speeu lation, are probably unequalled G o vernment other line in the world. Nothing has been heard at A Jexandria of the Medina since she left for Candid on the 6th inst. She was to meet the steamer with the telegraph cable from England at Cancer.lt is well under rat stood that Captain Spratt is totally ad verse to the proposed plan of commencing vions at this hise d counselsof the li prevail,Th eie can and that ard l be a doubt that Kill ta according t o hi s original advice the cable will bo paid out from the Dardanelles. M. Sabatier and Captain Pullen left Suez for Jeddah on the Bth, by the Cy&tops. It is under stood that for the present the two Commissioners will occupy themselves exclusiv yly with the adjust ment of the claims brought forward by the European merchants for losses and damage sustained through the late outbreak. The total amount of the indem nity demanded is said to exceed £500,000 sterling. There is every reason to believe that these claims will undergo very material reductions, but according to all probability the sum which will ultimatelyhave to be admitted will still be far above what can be borne by the town of Jeddah, upon which it was justly intended that the burden should fall. Istiail Pasha and his prisoners have gone on to Constan tinople. What may be the intentions of the Porte it is difficult to conjecture, but for the present Jeddah continues without a Turkish Commissioner. We have no news yet of the Duchayla ; before this, however, she may possibly have arrived in the Red Sea. The great caravan of Egyptian pilgrims has ar rived at Cairo, and is described as being unusually numerous, notwithstanding the more than ordinary reductions which its numbers have this year under gone through disease and other causes inseparable from the severe hardships of the journey. The Mahhmil, or sacred carpet, as the ancient emblem of Egyptian mediaeval Royalty is commonly, though incorrectly called, made its entry into the city on the 10th inst., with the customary pomp and re joicings. The Viceroy was there to receive it in person, and the richly gilt and embroidered tent shaped fabric, resting on the back of a stately camel, high above the surrounding crowds, was borne along through the streets of Cairo, attended by its never-failing entourage of ragged saints and der vishes, with a strong escort of regular troops, accompanied by their European bands, and with the usual din and roars of welcome from the guns of the citadel, the whole scene forming a strange mixture of Oriental and European pageantry, the glitter of barbaric gold, and in close proximity the squalid rags of religious devoteeism. Said Pasha continues for the present at Cairo, or in its vicinity, engaged in his favourite pastime — that of training and exercising his soldiers. The procession of the Mahhmil was succeeded by a grand review of some 12,000 or 13,000 men, and by last accounts the Viceroy was encamped with his army in the Desert near the city, busily occupied with his military hobby, marching and coutermarching, and doubtless in the height of enjoyment. The young Prince of Oude is still at Cairo, lead ing a very retired life, and but seldom seen abroad. He is residing at the house of an English shawl merchant, a Nlahomedan from Lahore, who for several years has been established in Egypt. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The Royal mail steamship Canada, Capt. Lang, which sailed from Boston on the 20th and touched at Halifax on the night of the 21st inst., arrived here at an early hour this morning, bringing 90 passengers and 54,000 dols. in specie. The steamship Arid, from Southampton, passed Cape Race, en rout. for New York, on the 17th, and her advices were . telegraphed thence to all parts of the United States. The steamship Anglo Saxon hence, arrived at Quebec on the 19th inst. The news by this arrival is quite meagre and unimportant. It was stated at Washington that General Jerez would immediately communicate with the Govern ment of Nicaragua relative to the non-success of his mission, and ask for further instructions. He was emphatically informed by Mr. Cass, that whatever may be done by France or any other foreign power, the United States Government will protect the tran sit route to the fullest extent and at all hazards. Influential friends of the Administration were said to be favouring a direct application to Congress for an appropriation to conduct a negotiation for the purchase of Cuba. Mr. J. Glancy Jones, of Pennsylvania, is said to have been appointed United States Minister to Austria. The Irish commercial flag was presented to the captain of the Prince Albert before he sailed from Galway. The occasion was of considerable in terest. The Albert was escorted by a large party of citizens as far as Fort Hamilton, where the flag was presented to the captain, who immediately had it hoisted to the top of his mainmast. In regard to the condition of the Atlantic Tele graph Cable, the following is the latest telegram : " Trinity Bay, Oct. 8, 1858. I regret to say that the preconcerted signals arranged by' Mr. Thomson have failed to elicit any improvement in the recep tion of signals here. I do not know if any improve ment has taken place at Valentia. I commence re peating the same system on Wednesday next." The New York Herald has the following special piece of news :—" We have been placed in posses mon of information, oonarrning our Sttitomont in regard to the intention of the British Government to lay a cable between Ireland and Newfoundland. Arrangements will soon be made with the view of establishing communication between these two points next year, in the event of their being unable to work through the present line. In this matter the British Government are governed by . their own interest, as they have already experienced the advantage of being placed in direct connexion with their colonial possessions on this side of the ocean. Before the cable stopped working they were enabled to send two despatches of the greatest value and import ance to the colonial authorities ; and having once practically realised the benefit to be derived from the line, it is their policy and. their interest to re establish the communication at the earliest possible moment." _ _ _ A letter from New Orleans states that the fever does not abate in any degree, and will not until they have a frost. Accounts from Mexico confirm the reports pre viously received of the battle between the forces under Vidaurri and Miramon. The conflict lasted four days, and Vidaurri was badly beaten. He had retreated to Monterey, and was making pre parations for another battle with his antagonist. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The New York stock and money market is thus noticed in the Evening Post of that city en the 19th Oct. : " The movement in stocks to-day is of a very the buoyant character, the volume of dealings, as indicated by ag gregate per values attached to the stock list, exceeding a million and a half. The bidding since the close of the ses sion continues spirited. The heaviest business was in Reading, Cleveland and Toledo, Rock Island, and New York Central. The activity in Michigan Southern Gua ranteed shares has somewhat subsided. In consequence of the increased activity in stock there is a freer movement in money at the recent statement in the rates of interest. " The exchange market closer very firm, with but few bills on the market. The filling of large Englidi orders for cotton at the South yesterday will probably be felt be fore the next regular mail. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH, uia HALIFAX. NEW YORK, OCT. 21, EVENING. The steam ships Ariel and Saxonia, from South ampton, and the Edinburgh, from Glasgow, have arrived at this port. The long pending prize-fight for the champion ship of America, between John Morrissey and Keenan, alias the " Benicia Boy," came off to-day, and was decided in the eleventh round in favour of Morissey. The event has attracted great attention here. HALIFAX, OCT. 21, 10 P.m. The steam ship Pacific, of the Galway line, ar rived at St. John's, Newfoundland, on the night of the 20th inst. ; and the Europa, from Liverpool, reached here at midnight on the 19th. NEW YORK, OCT. 21, EVENING. Our cotton Market to-day has been quite buoyant, and Messrs. Neill Brothers and Co. report an advance of ie. per lb. since the cloSe of their circular. The demand is mode rately active. The market for flour is steady, at the rates advised per mail. Wheat is dull, and quotations have declined sc. per bushel within the past two days. Indian corn is likewise dull, and mixed is 3c. per bushel cheaper. Freights have slightly advanced. The stock market is buoyant, and a general advance in prices has been established. abtutdant, and a still easie r t ons Money continues v er y prevailed to-day. NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 19. Our cotton m arket is easier to-day, but without act ual change in the quotations. Sales 8,000 bales. Receipts of the last three days : 30,500 bales. OCT. 20, EvErlNG.—The business in coton to-day has been about 6,000 bales, at a slight decline - • and is now quoted at llic. to 11,10, THE PRINCE ALBERT AT GALWAY. The Atlantic Royal Mail Steam Navigation Com pany's screw steamer Prince Albert, which arrived at Galway at 11.3 on Saturday, left Halifax on the 21st at 2 p.m., and brings news from New York to that date. Cotton was heavy at a decline of 7, cents below the highest points. The sales were 6,000 bales. Middling 12 to 121 cents. Flour was in fair demand ; but, at the close of the market, weak. New Y or k C entra l s h ares, 85k ; E ri e ditto, 801 ; Illinois, 81; Illinois Constitution Bonds, 90. Railway sha res were fl uctuat i ng. Sp e culation had in some measure subsided. REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.—Lord Stan ley has declined to retire from King's Lynn in order to con test the seat for Manchester. In a late edition of Saturday the Manchester Courier says :—" We extremely regret to say that, under all circumstances, Lord Stanley, with great reluctance, and after much hesitation, considers that he would not be justified in accepting the offer which the Conservative and other electors of Manchester have felt dis posed to make to him.' This announcement has only just reached us, and we are assured that it was only at the last moment, and after an earnest consultation with his imme diate and political friends, that his lordship arrived at a de cision which will create great disappointment in this city." Up to Saturday Mr. Bazley was the only candidate in the field, and is likely to be unopposed. THE WEST INDIA MAILS. The Royal West India Mail Packet Atrato arrived at Southampton at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, with 54 passengers, and specie to the amount of 1,352,137 dollars, of which 763,012 dollars value was in silver, and 584,125 dollars value was in gold. The amount includes nearly 7,000 dollars on account of Mexican dividends. The dates are—Jamaica, Oct. 12; Demerara, Oct. 9; Trinidad, Oct. 10 ; Barbadoes, Oct. 12 ; Panama, Oct. 9 ; Vera Cruz, Oct. 5. Her Majesty's ship Basilisk was at Greytown on the 3d, and her Majesty's ship Devastation, with Commodore Kellett, C. 8., left Jamaica on the 7th for Greytown. Her Majesty's ship Tartar was on the Windward Isles division. Her Majesty's ship Buzzard was at St. Thomas on the 17th, on her way to Brazil. The United States ships Roanoke and Savannah were at Greytown, and United States ship Saratoga at Colon. At Tampico, on the Ist, there were two Spanish war steamers inside the bar ; and at Vera Cruz, on the sth, was the Spanish steamer Cortes. AlSpanish screw frigate was at Havana on the 10th for Tampico. In Jamaica, the Governor has summoned the Legislature to meet on the 9th of November. The circular despatch addressed by Sir Edward Bulwer to the governor of Antigua, has created some alarm in the minds of certain parties, who regard it as an announcement of the intention of her Majesty's Government to withdraw entirely the troops now stationed here for the protection of the island. and that the executive will be compelled to reorganise the militia force. The chief cause of alarm is the placing of arms in the possession of the mass of the people. The alarm is utterly ludicrous. On the south side of the island the October sea son has been remarkable for its mildness; but in other districts complaints are still made of a con tinued drought. The public health, all things con sidered, is exceedingly good. In the sugar market the returns for the last week show little to report. Transactions on a very limited scale took place privately, and at auction there has been nothing save a few barrels of as sorted quality, which brought 225. per 1001bs. Exchanges on London.—Colonial Bank-90 days,* per cent. prem. ; 60 days, 1 per cent. prem. ; 30 days, 11 per cent. prem. Jamaica Bank-90 days, 1 per cent. prem. ; 60 days, 1 per cent. prem. ; 30 days, 11 per cent. prem. Commissariat Bills -1 per cent. prem., 30 days. Merchants' Bills-1 discount, days. From Demerara the news is not particularly in teresting, as may be seen from the Georgetown Royal Gazette, which begins its fortnightly sum mary by saying : Everything has been as quiet and dull as possi ble, with, perhaps, the single exception of the sea wall. There, in consequence of the high equinoc tial tides, the sea has been doing considerable damage. The new colonial contract steamer Essequibo has made her first trip to Essequibo and Berbice. Her accommodations and speed are spoken of in the highest terms. The Court of Policy has agreed to the appoint ment of an assistant resident surgeon at the colonial hospital, and voted him a salary of 1,000 dols. a year, subject to the decision of the Combined Court. A memorial to Sir E. Bulwer Lytton upon the subject of the commutation of back passages to im migrants has been numerously signed. The me morialists ask for such an alteration in the laws as w ill admit of a commutation of the right of back passage, by coolies already in the colony, or who may hereafter arrive, having that right. The weather continues favourable for agricultural operations, and the canes are improving both in appearance and in the quantity of sugar yielded by. them. The following are the exports of the past fortnight :—Sugar, 2.483 hhds., 129 trs., 461 brls.; rum, 863 pns., 109 hhds., 76 brls. ; mol asses, 38 pns., 2 hhds. MEXICO. The state of affairs in Mexico could not be worse than it is at present. Not only is the country in a state of anarchy, but the cause of one party (the Liberals)being espoused by the Americans, and that of the other (the Conservatives) by the Spaniards, may lead to a serious complication. The latter is the priestly, and of course intolerant, party. The Solent brought no specie from Tampico, although dollars to the amount of £4,000,000 sterling, it is said, or 800 tons of silver, await a safe conduct to the coast. The Government authorities at Tampico had levied a contribution of 100,000 dollars on foreign merchants. Several of them refused to pay. and were imprisoned without food ; amongst them the consular agents of Prussia, Denmark, Hamburg, and Bremen. Mr. Tolly, the Royal Mail Packet Company's agent, had to pay 7,000 dollars. A British subject who refused to pay and took shelter under the British flag, was forcibly taken from under it, the flag insulted, and the man im prisoned. The Spanish consul had hauled his flag down and gone off on board the vessel of war. A number of prisoners of the opposite party were sent on board the:Solent, to be landed at Vera Cruz (and here is a proof of the good understand ing existing between that party and Spain) ; they were taken on to Havana and their passports pro vided by the Spanish consul. During these proceedings, involving so much the commercial in terests of England, the European powers are re presented by Spain—as not a single man-of-war of any other nation except America is in the Gulf. In the meantime the Yankees are going ahead. Shortly the mails for California will go by the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, thereby saving a week in the transit. A staff of surveyors had also been plannin a railroad from Vera Cruz to Mexico. CUBA. The cool season had set in in the Gulf. Havana was healty. A terrific explosion occurred in the latter place on the 29th September ; a magazine about a mile and a half out of the town having blown up, it is not known by what means. There was about 100,000 lb. of powder, besides shell. The loss of life is estimated at 350 to 400 persons. Some of the buildings in the city were injured, and the gas cut off. DISCOVERY OF ROCK SALT IN PRUSSIA. STETTIN, Oet. 28.—A discovery of the utmost importance for the trade of Prussia and the coun tries on the Baltic generally has lately been made at a place called Stassfurt, near this city, consisting in an inexhaustible bed of pure rock salt. It is now some months since vague and uncertain reports of the discovery were circulated amongst our mer- chants here ; but they were at first discredited, on the ground that the general geological features of Pomerania, being of alluvial and diluvial formation, were not of a nature to cover a large deposit of salt, although it was well known that there are in many parts of the province saline springs which are used by the Government for the artificial manufacture of salt. The fact of the discovery is, however, now so well authenticated as to convince the most sceptical. A small cargo has been sent this summer to Scot land, to be used in salting herrings, and the result of the experiment has proved in every way satisfac tory, the quality being considered even superior to the Liverpool rook salt. As these salt beds are of very considerable extent, and from their proximity to the sea the produce can be raised and shipped at a very low figure, the discovery is likely to bring about a perfect revolution in the salt trade, which in Prussia is a Government monopoly; and I may mention in proof of this assumption, and as the fi rs t-f ru it s o f a practical result, that the Minister of Commerce has, in con sequence of the discovery, ordered the saline works at Coberg and Coven to be discontinued, it being found impossible to oompete profitably by any arti ficial means with this prolific natural store. Govern ment has fixed the price for the present at six board ab a o t utll s. silbergroschen per centner (equal to sterling per ton), delivered free on bar Stass furt, which is about the shipping price at Liverpool. It is, however, highly probabl e t ha t a g r eat reduc tion will take place , as th e actual cost of production one -fourth of the above figure. only amounts to Under these cir cumstances the large importa tions of salt annually received from England will of course altogether cease, and the Stassfurt rock salt will be able, from the extreme cheapness of its production, to compete successfully with Liver pool for supplying Russia and the other Baltic States with this necessary article, thus creating a new and lucrative branch of commerce for the merchants of Prussia. An unlimited sup ply of cheap salt will also have a corre sponding favourable effect on the development and increase of many chemical articles manu factured in Prussia, in which salt is the prin cipal ingredient. The falling off in our imports of salt, soda, &c., will, however, be more than com pensated by the increase in the exports of this town which cannot fail to take place, and thus tend to restore the just !:equilibrium between our imports and exports, the for mer having for several years past considerably predominated —so much so that a large part of the vessels bringing goods to Stettin are unable to find return freights, and are therefore compelled to sail in ballast, which tends to materally raise the inward frieghts on cargoes bound for this port. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. On Saturday evening last we were invited by the managing director to pay a visit to the above institution, to witness Mr. Moule's patent process of taking photographic portraits by artificial light. The process was explained by Mr. E. V. Gardner, the professor of chemistry, who was eminently suc cessful in his description. He pointed out forcibly the difference between the luminous rays of the 9 spectrum rand the actinic rays, which latter are ,2 those which exert chemical influence, and are principally effective in the process of taking por traits. Mr. Moule himself-operated, and succeeded in taking several pictures, the .finish and deli cacy of which we have never seen surpassed, even when taken under the most favourable cir cumstances in daylight. The gradations of light and shade were very artistic, and we are quite satisfied that the problem of taking photographic portraits by artificial light is solved, and that ano ther step is made in that interesting branch of science. We had also the pleasure of seeing a new series of dissolving views, illustrating the forest wilds of North America, after a series of original paintings, taken on the spot by Mr. Harvey, member of the Academy of New York. As works of art they are excellent, but, in addition to that, they are exceedingly valuable and interesting, as illus trating the nature of the country and giving the audience a knowledge of the scenery of North America, which could not be obtained by all the reading in the world. The certainty of an ultimate telegraphic communication with America renders this series of views doubly interesting. Another novelty was Mr. Williams's clever entertain ment, entitled " Musical Sketches of Popular Composers," in which he gave illustrations of the Buffo Songs of Mr. John Parry in a style that was very successful, and which, we are quite sure, will be duly appreciated by the public. The classes at this Institution on Chemistry, Latin, French, Physics, and other subjects are well attended. The laboratory has been entirely re-organised and refitted, and is now under the direction of Mr. E. V. Gardner, the Professor of Chemistry, who has a large class in attendance. The furnaces for assaying, and all the other requirements of an operative laboratory, are there in perfection. The Natural Philosophy department is attended to by Mr. J. L. King with great success, and whose lecture on the Atlantic Telegraph is one of great interest at the present moment. In ad dition to other arrangements, we are glad to learn that Mr. Lennox Horne had been engaged, and will shortly make his appearance as one of the lecturers of the institution, when, we have no doubt, his talent for humorous description will be fully appreciated. Many novelties are in preparation for Christmas ; amongst others, a most interesting series of dissolving views, illustrating the adven tures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. The Museum of Domestic Economy, collected by Mr. Twining, is now so far complete as to afford the public ample information as to how best to procure all the necessities of life at the most reasonable cost. This is a truly valuable addi tion to the Institution. In conjunction with this Museum, Messrs. Silver and Co. have fitted up a first-class and second-class emigrants' cabin, with all the requisites for a voyage. They have also fitted up a furnished home for emigrants abroad. There is also a very curious clock, which keeps regular time without any visible mode of propul sion. The mechanical models, illustrating im provements from the earliest periods, are now in motion, and form an interesting and important feature in the exhibition. The whole institution shows a greatly improved appearance, and the en trance hall especially presents an elegant approach to the whole establishment. THEATRICAL MOVEMENTS. We believe it is announced that the Pyne and Harrison Company go to the Royal Italian Opera House after leaving Drury-lane, at the end of the present month, until the commencement of the Italian opera season, under Mr. Gye. Of Mr - . Smith's movements ai Drury-lane we hear little, except that he relies on his pantomime to carry him through the winter, and that Mr. B. Blanchard again gives his valuable services in the concoction of the Christmas novelty. Mr. Buckstone has had a rare turn of luck all this season at the Haymarket—the crowning suc cess being the engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews, who are drawing immensely in "London Assurance." The winter months will be enlivened by a comedy from the pen of Mr. Bayle Bernard; and Miss Amy Sedgwick (now Mrs. Parkes) will appear in a comic drama, written by Mr. Palgrava Simpson. Turning to the Princess's, we behold, as in a glass, a magnificent succession of Shakspere's plays. filling the stage with a glory that will have de parted from it at the end of July, when Mr. Charles Kean's lesseeship of the theatre terminates. The Lyceum will be occupied by M. Jullien and his Concerts d'Adieu during the present month , after which Mr. Falconer returns with another comedy from his own desk, and an extravaganza by Robert Brough. Mr. B. Webster, the popular manager of the old Adelphi, has declined several profitable provincial engagements, in order that he might devote his entire attention to the building of the new Adelphit which is now rapidly progressing. Madame Celeste is still staying at the National Standard, with Mr. Paul Bedford. The other mein; bers of the old company whO have been engagea, for the new esta bl is h ment are scattered up an d down, waiting anxiously for the summons which is to call them again together to renew their ancient fellowship. Mr. Wright, we hear, has de rived so much benefit from the sea breezes at Ma r ' gate, that he will most probably be able to resume his professional duties this winter. Mr. J. 1 -'• Toole, the popular comedian, whose success in the various provincial theatres has been enormousp . r the most i m p or t an t o f t h e new engagements whkit Mr. Webster has yet made. Wilkie Collins's " Red Vial," at the Olympic, attracts, notwithstanding its disagreeable subject, chiefly on account of the wonderful acting of Mra' Stirling and Mr. Robson. Nothing finer than Mrs. Stirling's power of concentration and indivi" dualisation has been seen on the modern stage ; and, whether the drama lives or sinks into obscu rity, the impression which she has made in a most difficult and unpleasant part will not son be for gotten. Mr. Robson appeared last week in To ni Taylor's revived farce of " To Oblige Benson," in which the ludicrous jealousy of poor Mr. sent il. down kept the audience in shouts of laughter. We are pleased to find the little Strand Theatre crowded to overflowingevery evening. Mr. Byron's new burlesque of " The Maid and the Magpie" has proved a "great hit." A new farce, by Mr. C. A. Troughton, called " Wooing in Jest, and. Lovingia Earnest," will be produced this evening. Another farce, by Mr. J. M. Morton, is in rehearsal, The revival of "King Henry the Fifth," a t Sadler's Wells, has been as successful as the man' • agement could desire. Generally the thoatrea have been well attended during the week, and the prospects for the season, between this and Christ' mas, are unusually cheering. Miss Amy Sedgwick, the popular actress of 0 10 Haymarket Theatre, whose serious illness for solve time past prevented her appearance on the stages has recently bestowed her hand upon Dr. Parke* her medical attendant. Mr. and Lady Margaret Beaumont have returned to town from visiting Viscount aid Viscountess Palmerston' at Broadlands. Mr. and Lady Henrietta Morant have left CI ridge's Hotel, for Paris. Major the Hon. J. S. Calthorpe have left GrO venor-square, for Turin. The Attorney-General to the Prince of li r a lea has arrived in town from a visit to the Duke and Duch°. of Buccleuch, at Drumlanrig Castle, N.B. Madame Oury has returned to town, from lengthened visit to Sir Clifford and Lady Constable, ill Yorkshire. ERRATUM.—At the close of our first leader on Saturday evening last, the word—misprinted " New-Zeii" land—should obviously have been New-Zealander." The investiture of the Order of the Bath, vhic h was appointed for to-morrow (Tuesday), at Winds ° Castle, has been postponed. His Excellency the T ur ki s h A m b assador .a n Madame Musurus have retur ne d t o t own from St. Leonard's on-Sea. His Excellency the Prussian Minister and th e Countess Bernstorff have left town for Apth or p o , on a k to the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland. His Excellency the Danish Minister has returi lea to town from the Continent. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry are on a tour in Italy. The Earl of Powis arrived in town on Saturday evening from Norfolk. anc gai bar Por - WE the liars hav 4 /lot fort, Ex c b 11 11te bii
