" We feel bound to say that we give entire credit to the truthful ness of the book, which is assuredly one of extraordinary interest after its kind."—Quarterly Review. " The style is so natural and fresh from the scene, the scene itself In the far interior of Africa so new, and the hazards attending the chase of the formidable beasts of those wilds so great, that it is diffi cult to lay the volumes down until the issue of each adventure, as they rapidly follow one another, has been ascertained. In fact, the narrative has the charm of a vivid romance—and the professed novelist may study with envy the native spring of its sinewy style." Quarterly Review. John Murray, Albemarle-street.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. THE WOOL TRADE..—LONDON, JAN. 29.—The im ports of wool into London last week were 654 bales, of which 394 were from Turkey, 193 from the Cape of Good Hope, and the rest from France, Turkey, &c. The market is very firm, and there is a fair business doing, but holders are disposed to await higher prices. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, JAN. 30.—We have had a quiet market for wools this week. Prices remain without change , . ENGLISH WOOL.—LEEDS, J. 30.—There has not been any material chancre this week. Sales have been limited to the supply of current requirements of the manufacturers, and prices are stationary. LIVERPOOL WOOL.—JAN. 29.—The imports of wool the past week have been-706 bales Lima, 2,000 Alpaca, 1,200 Peruvian, 74 Constantinople, 106 Egyptian. 127 Buenos Ayres, and 53 Oporto. Privately, there is a steady demand, without any activity. Public sales of 3,500 bales are to be held to-day. TRADE OF LEEDS.—Last Saturday's market was a very dull one, and in consequence of the dark state of the weather during market hours on Tuesday, it was nearly a blank day. Prices still remain firm, and the stocks aro low. We have also a dull week in the ware houses, with the exception of Thuriday and yesterday, when several of the larger buyers ere down and have bought pr e tty fr..Aty of seesonable a, but the foroigu houses are doing much les s th an us lat this season.

BRADFORD MARKET, JAN. 29.—WooL.—The supply is eqeal to the demand of the consumers, and at present prices there is but little disposition to add to their stocks. Noils and brokes are without change. YARNS --To sell yarns at prime cost is quite impossible, and there is no other chance apparent but that of short time being more generally adopted, for the spinners fully ex pected a great advance, which has not been realised. P IEC ES.—The busin ess i s inactive for the season, an d t h e manufacturers co mp l a i n that they profit. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, JAN. 29.—The advance of id per lb, which took place in yarns on Tuesday (consequent on favourable news from America, and a similar rise in the Liverpool market), was not so wil lingly conceded by purchasers to-day The spinners of some of the lower countsof • * suceeded in previous quotations yarns have maintaining the advances, where early delivery for ex portation was required; but buyers for the home trade, cannot make a both in yarn and cloth, have been very firm in declining to exceed en tirely the work of speculators on either side the Atlantic. Where last week's quotations were accepted business could be effected rather more freely, the rise having caused some anxiety a mongst exporters to complete orders of a pressing character. The Germans, however, are taking goods and yarns, but in comparatively small quantities, whilst India buy , regarding the rise as , disposed to wait the receipt of their letters before making new engagements. The business has therefore not been considerable. overland's mail's arrival, are e s now on the eve of the ' T * -- YESTiRDAY. the close of the market:— Russell's Hetton Stewart's .. ....... ••• 175 6d 165 6dScarborou g h Whitwell lieugh Hall Kenos Whitworth B ackhouse l6s Od 4 aelean's Tees lss Od QeYniour Tees ...... ,Tees l ee 'wl)en Hartley perwentwat e r Hartley 13s 6 'Hartle y ._ .... . .....

REPRESENTATION OF PLYMOUTH.—Yesterday Lord Ebrington issued an address to the electors of Plymouth, in which he announces his intention of retiring from th e repre sentation of that borough. His brother's retirement from the representation of Barnstaple leaves a seat there open, which he thinks might probably be lost to the Liberal party unless their battle were fought under the most favourable circumstances. lie will, therefore, offer himself for that borough. NAVAL FORCES OF ENGLAN AND FRANCE. TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTORO OF GLASGOW. Gentlemen,—lt was toy intention to have addressed you generally on the present condition of the British empire, including our domestic affairs and prospects, our commerce, our navigation, our colonies, and our foreign relations. . _ 111eanticne, as the question of peace or war , w hi c h will always seriously affect our tAxation, ou r d omest i industr3', and our foreign and colonial trado, agitates the public mind, I will confine this letter to somp d e l. tails showing chiefly the relative naval forces of Gre i t Britain and France. _ lain far from being one of those who rely on tli pacific disposition of armed natiorfs, although 1 believ peace to be the true interest and wise policy of a Governments and nations. The military attitude c all . continental Europe, and the events and calamitie which have attended and followed the revolution c 1848, have all greatly weakened my confidence in thr long duration of peace. The true policy of England is peace and neutrality, but at the same time to be formidably prepared to de fend our shores, our navigation, and our trade. Fo this defence I rely chiefly upon an efficient navy. am not of the number who believe or fancy that Eng land is not now as able to defend her coasts and ter ritories as at any period of our history, nor do I con sider it possible that we can be suddenly invaded b France, or by any other power. But it would b folly to disregard recent events in France. I can, i fact, have no faith, whether for, good or evil—fof peace or war—in the present government of that country. If the French people beer with, and have either a traditional or sudden affection for arbitrary government, and cast away the spirit and principle of civil and religious liberty, they deserve no govern; ment favourable either to intellectual or personal free , dom. Their Government, however, whatever it has been, is, or may be, is the business of the French people—not ours. Let us maintain peace and friendship with France. If our shores are to be invaded, of our channels of trade and navigation interrupted let us be in a condition to defend ourselves, and tO chastise those who may dare to make war against us. Among the nations of Christendom it is only in the United Kingdom and in the great Anglo-American Republic that men can express thought, opinion, and sentiment with freedom. We are blamed and bated for this freedom, and if a Minister, statesman, private individual, 'or the press express an admiration for those who have struggled and fought for liberty and an abhorrence for tyranny, we are as individuals and as a people denounced by all despotic Governments'. But public opinion and sympathy, in favotir of the oppressed and against the oppressors, can never be suppressed among the Anglo-Saxon nations of the United Kingdom and of America. That the people of England exhibited a kindly feeling for the Hungarians, Sicilians, Venetians, and other nations who endeavoured to re-establish free dom was as natural as it was sincere. • Liberty, in truth, is so undeniably the birthright of mankind, so evidently the natural free gift of Heaven, that not only all who have never known its blessings, but even those who have scarcely a hope ever to enjoy its possession, will, when the sa cred principles of freedom are once advocated by a people, 'earnestly pray for the success of those who have courage to assert this common right of all men. The very. idea of public freedom is so en dearing to the human bosom, that whenever the people of any country solemnly and with fearless determina tion take up arms either to defend or to recover their natural rights, they are certain of the open applause of all who dare express their sentiments, and the secret approbation of those by whom its avowal is suppressed by arbitrary power. Combating with honest and enlightened, not anar chical patriotism, for freedom, those who hazaid their fortunes are the champions of mankind, struggling for the universal benefit of society. They are the bene factors, not, like those renowned in history and re warded by princes as conquerors, the destroyers of the human race. The predilections of all who behold the strife are engaged in their behalf; and tyrants with their supporters become the subjects of scorn and hatred. This was—let us not, we cannot conceal it—the popular sentiment of England with regard to Hungary, Sicily, and the Italian refugees during the years 1848 and 1849. Nor did England fail to re cognize at once and continue an alliance with a Go vernment which was considered favourable to free dom, order, and peace, on its electing Louis Napoleon for four years as the bead of its constitutional admi mistration. That Constitution and all freedom have utterly vanished in France where a strong despotism sanctified by the Romish hierarchy has violently been established. In estimating the possibility of a war, I draw a wide distinction between a . prudent and energetic preparation for defence on the part of the Government and people of these kingdoms and those alarmists who terrify her Majesty's subjects by exhibiting in exag gerated statements the dangers to which the British isles are exposed in the event of a sudden invasion by France. These men are all evidently ignorant of the naval forces as well as the maritime resources of Great Britain, while the nation generally appears ignorant of the strength of our navy and of the available mer chant ships and seamen of these kingdoms. If a French army of 150,000 men could be landed in Eng land, the tranquillity of the country would inevitably be endangered, and some of our cities would no doubt be plundered. One foreign military officer, who seems to have neither any knowledge of naval warfare nor of maritime science, has laid down a plan by which such a landing upon our coasts could be effected. I at once admit that it would only be a just infliction upon us if, according to his plan, 50,000 men were allowed to sail from France to the Irish Channel, and then up through the intricate navigation of the Bristol Channel, so as to land 50,000 infantry, cavalry, and artillery in the vicinity of Bristol. There are other countries besides England with which France in the event of a war would have in all probability to con tend. While I grant at once that the military power of France is formidable as an instrument of tyranny within that magnificent and populous country, and at the same time sufficient to excite the alarm of neigh bouring States, especially Belgium, Prussia, Hesse Darmstadt, Baden, Savoy, and Sardinia, yet the army of Prussia is not only formidable in point of numbers, but its artillery, cavalry, and infantry, are in a high state of discipline; and both the artillery and firelocks of the Prussians are by far the best in Europe ; nor is the battle of Jena and its direful consequences for gotten by the house of Hohenzollern, nor by the Prussians. The army of the German Confederation will also resist any attempt to extend the boundaries of France to the Rhine. Nor will the King of Belgium nor the Belgians join France against other powers, for the result would speedily be the annexation of Belgium to France. The Dutch consider their trade and navigation of more importance than any political allionee whatever. They may remain neutral ; but the Dutch, as well as the North Germans, Danes, Swedes, and Norwe gians, would make common cause in defence of their shipping and their commerce. They have neither re ligious nor social sympathies with France, and they are, no doubt, equally disgusted with the absolute tyranny and the immoral disregar d for all law and justice which has been perpetrate d during the last i month of 1851 and the first month o f 1852 n that kingdom. However much Austria may cherish the 'principle,. of arbitrary Government, the population generally of her empire not only detest absolutism, but h t the A rmes trian, Italian, Slavonian, Ilungarian, and ot e at..o, are antagonistic in their traditions, their sy hi Austrian and their hatreds.

Queen Isabella If. is a steamer, which was the first built in the Clyde for the Cunard line, and sold on the ground of that vessel being no longer of efficient size or power to compete with the magnificent steamers constructed at New York. _ What the King of Naples may do when urged on by the Pope is problematical, further than that he will ally himself with that Government phich is most likely to assist him in.the maintenance of absolutism within his two kingdoms. The recent confiscation, contrary to law, justice, and honour, of the property of the Orleans funily will have disgusted and arous: d the indignation of the Court of AlAdrid, as well as that of most., if not all, of the other crowned beads of Europe. Portugal will assuredly form sic alliance lath France ; nor can the terrible, and for some time pro bably successful, acts of a President of a Government, which is still named " The French Republic.," meet with admiration in the Anglo-Saxon commonwealth of America. I have said that the armed force of France is for midable. In June, 1851, the minimum or peace establishment was fixed by the Minister of War at no less than 365,463 men, and by conscription the number may be increased to 500,000. There can be no doubt as to the high state of discipline or the excel lency of the accoutrements of this force, either for the purposes of offensive or defensive warfare. But in the indignant, 'though sullen, state of the French people, notwithstanding the earnest desire of the great ma jority to be allowed to pursue their occupation s of industry without molestation, we have good reason to believe that the greater portion of that army will be found necessary to maintain within France the abaca, lutism whichjnis slestroyed the Constitittiots,-sild which has established an illegal, unscrupulous, and arbitrary domination over the liberties as well as the property of the French people. With regard to the French navy, we find that it consists—ships old and new, great and small, and on the stocks—of 328 vessels, including steamers. Of this fleet 40 are ranked as ships of the line, 10 of which are of the first class, 10 of the second, 15 of the third, and five of the fourth class. There are 50 frigates—that is to say, 15 of the first class, or equal to British frigates of 42 to 50 guns, 20 of the second class, and 15 of the third class ; 4 corvettes, or sloops of war; 50 brigs, 30 of the first clas s an d 20 o f th e second ; 30 vessels, including gun brigs, schooners, and tenders; and 16 transport ships, averaging from 300 to 600 tons. Besides which there are 102 steam ships afloat and building in the slips. These include 150 pack.ete, the largest of which are of 200 horse power, 30 of which are from 160 to 200 horse power, and 20 of 120 horse power and under. There are 10 steam-frigates of from 450 to 600 horse power, 20 sloops or corvettes of from 320 to 400 horse power, 20 of from 220 to 300 horse power, and two floating batteries; one. of 400 and the other of 500 horse power. Several of the French line-of-battle ships and the larger frigates are magnificent vessels, their sailing lines of admirable draught, and their models beauti ful. Their cannon and arms are also admirable. Save rid of the screw steam-ships are strongly and firmly constructed, and efficiently fitted out; but, generally, their machinery is far inferior to that of England, and their speed slower than that of English steam ships. None of them are equal either in power or speed to the fleet of the Cunard line, or to several of the ships of the West India and Peninsular lines. In rigging we may also consider the French navy infe rior to British ships. The ships of the line which were last year displayed at Cherbourg were the prime ships of the French navy, and notwithstanding the enthu siastic admiration of them by one British Admiral, we heard their manoeuvring condemned as unskilful by experienced naval officers. But still the navy of France is by no means to be despised. The defici ency will be found chiefly in the scarcity of able and skilful seamen to man them in case of war. According to the last account of the Minister of Marine, the fleet was in such condition as that 23 ships of the line, 31 frigates, 35 corvettes, and 37 brigs, were ready to be put into commission, together with 14 steam frigates, 13 corvettes, and 34 small steam packets. The number of officers consisted of two admirals, 10 vice -admirals, 20 rear-admirals, 110 captains of ships of the line, 230 post-captains, 650 lieutenants, 550 ensigns or midshipmen, and 300 cadets. The number of seamen, including marines, the greater number of whom have never been at sea, was decreed to be 27,000 men. The French mer cantile navy is comparatively insignificant. As far as I can learn there are not 'in it 15 ships above 500 tons. We have in the Thames one single firm who possess 20 ships of from 1,000 to 1,400 tons, fit for frigates ; and other London firms and firms in Newcastle and Glasgow have fleets nearly as magnificent. Let us now take into account the actual naval force of this country during the present month within the principal naval ports of England. The British navy consists altogether (exclusive of old ships for harbour service) of 545 vessels, great and small, including steam-ships. Of these 87 are ships of the line, viz.-24 of 102 to 120 guns ;14 of 90 guns ; 26 of 80 to 84 ; and 23 from 72 to 78 guns. The Royal Albert, of 120 guns ; the Sanspareil, of 81; the Saint Jean d'Acre, of 100 guns • the Aga memnon, of 90 g uns ; an d the James Watt, of 90 guns; have powerful steam-engines as screw line -of battle ships. 66 sailing frigates, viz.-2 of 60 guns ; 30 of 50 guns ; 8 of 44 guns ; 18 of 42 guns ; 5 of 40 guns; 2of 36, and 2of 38 guns. 21 corvettes of from 22 to 28 guns; and 124 smaller vessels car rying 20 guns and under. Of the steam ships of war there are 16 screw fri gates, carrying from 24 to 60 guns, according to ca libre, and from 300 to 560 horse power, besides 12 screw steam-sloops, varying from 250 to 400 horse power, and 12 screw steam-ships of 200 horse-power and under; 12 steam-frigates with paddle-wheels, of 400 to 800 horse power, and 26 of 300 to 560 horse power; 28 from 200 to 300 horse power, and 50 under 200 horse power. Of the foregoing formidable naval force the follow ing are still on the stocks, but almost all of them so near completion that they might be launched and put into commission in a few weeks, viz. :—Royal Albert, of 120 guns, with powerful screw machinery ; the Windsor Castle, of 120 guns ; the Royal Sovereigb, 120 guns; Prince of Wales-, 120 guns; Victoria, 116 guns ; Royal Frederick, 116 guns ; St. Jean d'Acre, with powerful steam machinery, 100 guns; Jain Watt, 90 guns (with screw); Agamemnon, 90 guns, with screw; Caesar, 90 guns; Exmouth, 90 gun?; Hannibal, 90 guns; Cressy, 80; Hood, 80; tble, 80 ; Majestic, 80 ; Princess Royal, ~8 2 : It mortalite, 60 ; Melpomene, 60 ; Hornet, .v_w"` screw; Cruiser, 60; Emerald, 60 ; Ini .

The distribution of the British fleet, including th e ships on the stocks, is, as nearly as can be ascertained, as follows : A t Plymnnth von prAgpfaa a fnrest nf—. 23 line of battle sailing ships from 72 to 120 guns, and 2 of 20 guns building. • 22 frigates from 40 to 50 guns, and 2 of 50 building. 7 sailing ships from 22 to 36 guns. 24 under 20 guns. 1 line-of-battle screw-steamer of 81 g uns, 350 horse power. 1 line-of-battle screw - steamer o f 650 horse power, and 100 guns, 2 screw frigates of 44 guns, and 350 horse power each screw frigate of 400 horse power. 1 paddle-fri ga t e of 300 horse power, 1 slooll of 280, 1 of 160, 1 of 100, and 1 of 50 horse power. Total line- o f - b attle ships, sailing vessels, and steamers, 27 of th e li ne, 26 large frigates, 8 lesser frigates, and 28 smaller ships of war. The naval force at Portsmouth consists of 21 Hale of-battle ships afloat, and 5 building, being 26 line-of battle ships of from 72 to 120 guns ; 12 sailing fri gates of 42 to 50 guns, and 15 steam-frigates of from 350 to 620 horse power ; 4 sailing ships of from 22 to 3 6 guns, 11 smaller ships under 20 guns, and 10 steamers from 100 to 300 horse power, and 2 wider 100 horse. With respect to the naval force commanding the Thames, there are, first, at Sheerness and Chatham -20 line of battle ships, of 72 to 120 guns, of which 5 are on the stocks. 30 large frigates, of 42 to 50 guns, of which one of 50 is yet on the stocks, and of which 7 are steam frigates, of 220 to 360 horse power, of which 1 on the stocks to carry 30 large guns. 5 ships of 26 to 28 guns. 30 smaller sailing vessels of 22 guns and under, two of which are on the stocks, and 9 steam-vessels of 10 to 200 horse power. There are at Woolwich and Deptford-2 line .of battle ships on the stocks, nearly finished, 1 of 90 and 1 of 120 guns; 1 double-banked-frigate, to carry 60 guns , on the stocks; 1 frigate, of 42 guns, afloat ;l scre w line-of-battle ship, of 550 horse power,.lding °9 ttie stocks; 2 steam - frigates, of 40 guns each, building; 1 screw-frigate, of 556 ' horse power' afloat; 4 s mall a rmed sailing vessels and 21 steam-ships ailoat, from 60 to 400 horse power. There are afloat and on the stocks at Pembroke--1 Clyde. On the Cork station there are cne screw line-of battle ship of 450 horse power, one of 100, and a gu n brig The " Particular Service," under which is dis guised the Tagus fleet, consists of one-line-of-battle ship of 90 guns, one steam troop-ship. of 556 horse power, one steam-frigate of 60 guns and 450 horse power, one of 350, one screw of 580, one of 360, two frigates of 50 guns, and four discovery ships (two of which sailed with Sir John Franklin), and several small vessels of war engaged 81 surveying ships. The Mediterranean fleet consists of seven line-of battle ships from 80 to 120 guns, 2 frigates of 50 guns, three skarn frigaes from 410 to 800 horse power, 11 steLtn-ships of 160 o 420 horse power, and three sioivi . of v::'. - The African squadro; con:-rots of 1.1 sailing. sloops and prig i of war varionaly armed, and 10 st,am-ships of 90 to 400 horse. powr. Oa the lirf zil station there are two frigaes of 50 and one Of 42 guns, anti ono sloop of 18 gnn,l; one steam-frigate of 540 horse power, one or 400, and three other stecrn-ships. Oa the North American _station acid the West Indies our force consists of two line-of-battle ships, 70 and 72 guns, one frigate of 24 gum, and four sloops and brigs ; two steam-ships of 100, one of 280, one of 378, and one of 400 horse power, besides the steam-ships on the lakes. At the Cape of Good Hope there are one frigate of 36 guns and three sloops and brigs; two steam-ships, one of 280 and one of 430 horse power, one line -of battle ship of 72 guns, and one frigate of 42 guns. The East India squadron consists of seven sailing ! ships from 6 to 26 guns, and three steamers of 200 to 500 horse power. In the. Pacific there are a 'frigate, the flag ship of 50 guns, twonf 42, used as, store depots at Callao and Valparaiso, one of 38, giths„sixtloops and brigs, from 6-t0.24 gaps, and. a ped` front to 320 boise paw . ' 2 On the Austr a li an s t a tiO n - there are tour arme d vessels, from 4 to 26 guns. It will be observed that, with the exception of the Tagus and Mediterranean fleets, the portion of our naval force on foreign stations is comparatively insig nificant, and that the ships of war in our ports, if efficiently manned and armed, are formidable in mag nitude and number, and in case of need there may be, in addition to the present number of seamen and ma rines, a full force from the merchant service, fisher men, and coast guard to defeat any possible armament from France ; and let me add that in case of need the mercantile fleet of England could not only afford ships and seamen, but on a scale of unprecedented magnitude. Belonging to the port of London alone the number of powerful steam-ships, from 300 to 2,000 tons, would amount to a strong naval force ; while those of London, Bristol, Glasgow, the Royal Mail contract packets, the Peninsular and Oriental, and the Gene ral Steam Navigation Company, whose large steamers ply between London and Scotland, could also be made available, while the spl en did East India mer chantmen belonging to London, Newcastle, and other ports could readily be armed as double-banked frigates. With respect to the seamen, there is every reason to believe, now that the accommodation and usage on board of ships of war are so far superior to what both were during the last and the early part of the present century, that but a slight increase in the wages would remove any reluctance on the part of ordinary sailors from joining her Majesty's fleet. I believe that with a few shillings per month extra wages, all the seamen necessary would enter the ser vice, and that there would be no occasion for impress ment. My chief misgivings are whether the ordnance is sufficiently prepared to provide artillery, arms, and ammunition, which would at once efficiently supply the navy. If not, there must have been great mis management in that department; of which, I admit I know but little, excepting its enormous expenditure —ranging from more than 2,000,0001. to 3,000,0001. annually. _ With respect to the expenditure of the navy, espe cially of the dockyards, it had increased to an enor mous amount when the late Lord Auckland under took the administration of that department. But I am bound to state, in justice to the memory of that lamented nobleman, and especially to the present First Lord of the Admiralty, that the expense of the navy, including the dockyards, has been reduced from 8,013,672/. in 1847, to 5,898,680/. in 1850, and to 5,727,2991. in 1851 ; and, if I believe the dockyard system to be defective, and that the Admiralty should be re-organised, I fully comprehend the diffi culties of a Minister who has to contend with all ' the prejudices and obslinary of the %hole per manent st.ff of the Admiralty as well as of the naval dockyards. That we could have better ships fur much less money is the opinion of men of the greatest expe rience ; but this is not at present the object of my letter, it being merely to exhibit the comparative naval forces of England and of France. Having the fullest confidence in the generous spirit and bold energy of a nation which so rapidly constructed, among other great work., the magnificent Exhibition of the last year, and trusting to a people who mani fested such sublime order in 1848 and 1851, I cannot arrive at any other conclusion than that if by any act of madness or wickedness any attempt were to be made by France to invade England, which I would deplore, then the naval power of our country would not only repel effectually such an attempt, but block ade every port in France, destroy her maritime trade and navigation, deprive t he manufacturers of that coun try of the means of obt ainin g raw mater i a l s, wellan and, as mercantile i t n ile t n h ay evse.quiveledr t o h y is h b er ef m o_r i e l : tr e y as can, but we hope we shall not be provok.e4 to__ do so again.
