Manchester is fortunate in the principles by which its leading citizens are actuatjd. By a combination of industry, and probity, and enterprise it has been rendered the manufacturing capitol of the greatest manufacturing empire civilisation has ever produced. Since the peaceful labour of humanity first assumed to itself its true importance, since its eminent advan tages were incarnated in T ÜBAL CAIN, and idealised in VuLcAN, it has never created for itself an abiding place of so mu c h i ntrinsic grandeur and magnificence as this. Compared with the vastness, the complica tion, the extension, and the solidity of British com merce, the mercantile glory of Carthage is as nothing; the Tyrean opulence as poverty; the Vene tian domination as slavery ; the golden book of Genoa, and the galleons of the Iberian peninsula, are as the prophetic mimicry of what has been realised in these islands. With the accumula tion of this extraordinary wealth, however, we have been taught, by the lights of reason and Christianity, that the possession of mere specie and the fabrication of mere luxuries, are not to be regarded as the predominant objects of our existence. The experience of hist)ry has shown us , how such ignoble creeds have sapped the vigour of :IR most gigantic empires—how in one instance they have degenerated a warlike into an effeminate people —how in another they have plunged a wise, valour ous, and virtuous race into all the licentious influences of Epicureanism. As civilisation has advanced the true end of industry, the real utility of opulence, and the veritable recompense of enterprise has bean re vealed and acknowledged. It has been revealed, and it has been acknowledged, that fleets are nothing, that mechanical contrivances are nothing, that splendid and capacious factories are nothing, that ware houses filled to the roof-beams with riches, and harbours crowded with the peaceful navies of commerce, are of no avail in assuring the happiness of a population, unless the operatives are proportionably elevated by the principals, unless the truths of knowledge, and the impulses of morality are inculcated among those who were hitherto ignorant and debased. In these respects Manchester is setting a brilliant example to the other seats of the manufacturing industry and mercantile prosperity of Great Britain. She is already an object of emulation to all other towns which are aspiring to any degree of commercial importance, and she is now endeavouring to excite a still nobler emulation by her labours for the moral and intellectual advancement of her citizens. The Manchester Athenaeum is an institution such as would confer new honour upon any associate, however pre viously illustrious. We are satisfied that since the esta blishment of the Manchester Athenaeum a very con siderable progress has been made towards assuring physical comfort and mental improvement to the people in the northern districts of this kingdom, and that a vast proportion of that progress is attributable to the influence of that association. Its Noble Chair man avouched a similar opinion only yesterday even ing ; he declared his conviction that while the Athenaeum had walked its own ground, it had been likewise suggestive of many kindred processes, and that, borrowing an illustration from one of the dis puted problems of the upper sky, in its career of light and progress, it had thrown off from itself separate bodies " which hardened into distinct masses and glowed with independent lustre." He expressed his confidence that to the reflections produced by its periodical as semblages, and to the ideas originated in " the earnest friction of its discussions" many salutary improve ments of a local character might be traced; that to the emulation excited by that body were owing in a very considerable degree the public parks by which Manchester was now rendered more beautiful and more salubrious, the municipal efforts recently made to ameliorate the condition of its inhabitants, and the establishment of those baths and wash-houses, which he justly characterised as " calculated to have deeper effects than on the mere skin and linen." Accurate and forcible as these expressions are, we are inclined to go even further than the Noble Lord in attributing collateral advantages to the ex istence of such an association. We are inclined to behold in the operations of that body the movement of a power which shall be felt— v. hich must in time be felt throughout the length and breadth of England. We regard the foundation of such an institution as a boon not merely to Lancaster, but ulteriorly to every shire in the land. There is no exclusiveness in the creed of learning ; there is no sectarianism in the brotherhood of knowledge; a thought expressed, a fact divulged, a truth promulgated, is not the pro perty of any one individual—it appertains to no single province; it belongs not, by prerogative, to any separate locality—it is the world's ! And it is from recognising these essential principles of human intelligence that we are persuaded so many national benefits must accrue from this Manchester Athenaeum. Even supposing that the only consequence of it s foundation was its annual meeting in that city, an inestimable advantage would thereby result to the community—the advantage of an interchange of thoughts among some of the brightest contemporary intellects. That periodical collision of highly-gifted and variously-endowed minds is of itself the har binger of great blessings, and a fresh impetus to the progress of civilisation. We have frequently in- Asssociation. What the British Association is to the philosophers of England, the Manchester Athenreum is to the people of England. The former gives a new incitement to the student in his labora tory; the latter is a:solace to the artizan in his toil; it is an encouragement to him in his days of hardship, it is a MENTOR in his moments of recreation. The establishment of such institutions as the Athenaeum is virtually the realisation of a free trade in mind. Through that body the humblest may mentally associate with the most exalted, the most ignorant may commune with the most learned, the obscure labourer may drink in draughts of wisdom and benevolence from the lips of the greatest geniuses and the most eminent philanthropists of the age. On a former occasion the Athenaeum had as chair man " that master of our sunniest smiles and our most unselfish tears," CHARLES DICKENS. On another its members " thrilled under the spell of that potent magician," Mr. DISRAELI. On a third " the deep, gentle, and earnest spirit" of Mr. Ser geant TALFOURD presided over that assembled multitude. On this meeting for 1846, the chairman was one illustrious by his position as a statesman, by the gentleness but elevation of hi intellect, and by the persuasive beauty of his oratory ; we need not say that that chairman was Lord MORPETII. To quote his own expression, when speaking of that RABELAIS of the age, " Boz"—the chair of the Athenaeum. " never was and never can be filled more worthily." The minds of the Noble Lord's hearers must have' felt exalted and purified by the benignant character of his oration. When he said to them, " You have not thought it sufficient to raise factories tier upon tier, or magazines that will accommodate the traffic. of the world, but you have thought it your business too to build and set apart a home and a haunt for in.-- nocent enjoyment, for useful instruction, fear graceful accomplishments, for lofty thought, a strain and phalanx of feeling in a Christim land ; " when he told them that he would not diminish the aspirations of their youtlb, that he would not extinguish their ambition, that he would not eradicate from their hearts their yearnings after immortality, but that he would remind them "th %t there was something snore admirable than genius, an r 1 that was virtue—something more valuable than succes and that was duty;" when he expressed his confil-• dente that reason as well as Christianity " malo.o humility almost its most prominent grace ;" an .al when he exclaimed, "who would not be humble wh Lo felt as he ought the loveliness of virtue and the mag•- nificence of knowledge ?" he assumed to himself th to noblest office of a legislator ; he became the publi .c panegyrist of reason and the public worshipper A morality. It was a noble and consolatory assuran( to the artizan which Lord MORPETH uttered who sn he observed— " Depend upon it, however humble may be any A your positions in life, however obscure the labour whic b engrosses the precious hours as they pass, however insit ;- nificant your whole life's drudgery, in this mean and un - envied position, in this drudgery you may hold fox' yourself the qualities, you may build up for yourselvesi the character which princes, if they knew them, wouldl trust, which multitudes, if they could discern them would. adore." It is the promulgation of such sentiments as theso that imparts a true dignity to the aristocracy, and/ that tends so much to the fusion of classes and to the: moral and intellectual advancement of the people. A letter from Mr. PAYNE, the Coroner of the cit y of London, was on Thursday read at the meeting •o the Court of Common Council, in which that gentle man explained the steps he had taken for the purpose of reviving the ancient practice of holding inquests, or courts of inquiry, in cases of fire. Prevention is ever better than punishment, and we have no doubt that if every case of fire, the origin of which was not clearly ascertained, was fully investigated before a competent tribunal, the results would be most beneficial, and that it would tend to give a heavy blow and great discouragement to parties desirous of defrauding insurance companies, by wilfully setting fire to their own houses, occurrences that take place much more fre quen tl y th an t h e public have any idea of. There is no description of offence that may lead to such a fearful loss of life and property as that of arson. A fire, at first trifling and insignificamt, may, from various causes, spread to the most alarming extent. A simple perusal of the various casualties that have occurred in the metropolis and the larger provincial towns from fire during one single year would occasion the most painful emutions. Felluw-creatures cut off by a most painful death, without a moment's warn ing or preparation for the awful change ; property to an immense ex tent sacrificed; human beings left houseless and penniless, deprived of their nearest and dearest friends, and suddenly reduced from comfort and comparative affluence to poverty and destitution. How gladly would the philanthropist do anything within his power to mitigate their sufferings or to soothe their afflictions, hew zealously would he co operate in any manner with those exerting themselves to remove the causes of such calamities. There is no reasonable expense that would not gladly be under taken by the public to reduce their amount. Nothing can be better calculated to effect this object than the certainty that a searching and rigid investigation would in every instance take place. The reckless criminal, who would be little deterred by a consideration of the harrowing consequences of his crime, would shudder at, and be afraid to encounter, the vastly increased chance of detection thereby afforded. In other cases, where no criminal intention existed, the description' of negligence by which these accidents are in the majority of instances occasioned, would be exposed, and the public, warned by the damages that had been sustained, would evince a greater degree of caution, and abstain from practices likely to lead thereto. _ _ The coroner was originally an officer who had many and important duties committed to his charge, but by degrees many of his functions were suffered to fall into disuse, and, with the exception of the inquests held on the bodies of persons who had met with sudden or violent deaths, little remained to be done by that officer. There are few, however, who can be ignorant of the great services that have been rendered to humanity by reason of inquiries that have taken place before coroners. It was the exposé that took place at the inquest at Hounslow, on the body of poor WHITE, the victim of the atrocious and abomi nable practice of corporal punishment, and the medical testimony there elicited, that led to the great amelioration which has already taken place—(the re duction in the number of lashes that can by any pos sibility be inflicted)—and, it is to be hoped, gave the death-blow to the system. Instances of neglect and cruelty in the management of public institutions have been thereby frequently brought to light, which might have remained buried in obscurity, and im - provements have been effected, which would otherwise never have been thought of. Mr. PAYNE deserves great credit for the disinte rested manner in which he has acted, in taking upon himself the additional labour imposed on him by the ancient practice without making any charge what soever for his own fees ; he has proved that he was influenced solely by objects of public utility rather than personal emolument, and that he desired to make his office useful to the greatest possible extent. As he stated in his letter, the power of holding such courts, which, undoubtedly, existed in the olden time, had never been taken away, and he was led to resume its exercise from a conviction of its great im portance and utility. The example thus set has been followed in several parts of the kingdom, and we sincerely hope it may be universally adopted. Eleven cases within the last twelve months have alone been of sufficient importance to require an investigation in the city of London and Southwark, and the entire expenses thereof (exclusive of the fees which Mr. PAYNE So handsomely waived his right to) amounted only to 201. ls. 2d., a sum quite insignificant in com parison with the great good thereby obtained. The letter of the Coroner was referred to a committee, to inquire and report on. An attempt was made to pass it by sub silentio, and to let it lie on the table un noticed; but we are happy to say it was negatived by a large majority, and a general feeling existed that the course pursued by the Coroner gave additional security to life and property, and was very service able to the community. , We trust that Mr. PAYNE will be fairly remune rated for the trouble he has already taken, that the Corporation will not suffer him to be a loser by the liberality he has exhibited, and that the result of the report of the committee will be to perpetuate and ease, Mr. PAYNE will have the proud consciousness that he has well and efficiently discharged his duty, that he has deserved the confidence reposed in him, and that he has merited the approbation of those by whom he was elected to office, and of his fellow-citi zens and the public generally. The intelligence from Switzerland is on the whole satisfactory. At Geneva all is quiet, and the Provi sional Government seems to give universal satisfac tion. At Berne the authorities are adopting active measures to prevent a recurrence of the disturbances. A letter from that city, dated October 18th, says— " Last evening the Government posted up a procla mation announcing that it was taking measures for re ducing the price of provisions, and, at the same time, for acting with rigour against the rioters. During the night it remained in permanent sitting at the Arsenal, and collected information of serious political plots under the direction of the patriciate, as well as under that of the Government which was overturned several months ago. It consequently ordered about fifteen arrests, among of which are the late Councillor of State, M. Felscherin, ex-Professor Muller, and M. Stauffer Gunther, merchant. As early as four in the morning detachments of the militia began to come in to the,,support of the Govern ment. Nearly all the arrests were made without re sistance, and appeared to have paralysed the rioters, but about ten in the morning about a hundred collected in the Place des Greniars, and were preparing to attack the corps-de-garde, when they were charged by a detachment of cavalry without its making use of its arms. As, however, it was met with a shower of stones, two pieces of cannon loaded with grape-shot were brought out of the Arsenal with matches lighted, the appearance of which was sufficient to clear the streets, All persons were prevented from passing through those streets and squares were they were likely to create disturbance, by two companies of infantry and detachments of the civic guard." At Bale, on the 18th, it was stated that the Grand Council was on the eve of holding an extraordinary sitting, to discuss the petitions laid before it for giving its sanction to the decision which tends to break the ultra-montane league. The sympathy these petitions have met with in the people at large has modified the sentiments of several members of the Lesser Council, who have declared that they would rather resign than act in opposition to the wishes of the people. Madrid papers of the 17th have arrived. The Clamor Publico contains the following notice : " Phenomenon ! no journal was seized yesterday, not even the Gazette, which well deserved seizure, not so much for what it said, as for what it did not say. The silence of the official organ upon the ardently-desired amnesty is more subversive of order than the reflections of all the Opposition journals put together." On the subject of this said amnesty, the Madrid correspondent of Galignani's Messenger says, under the date of October 17 : " I am assured that a Ministerial crisis at present causes great anxiety to the Queen ; nothing, how ever, transpires beyond the precincts of the Palace ; the amnesty is said to be its cause. It is said that when the project was laid before the Queen, she replied that she would consult her mother ; on which Don Francisco observed that he considered himself qualified and entitled to advise her ; and in definitive he explained that an amnesty to be of any value should be ample. There is a very prevalent idea that Queen Christina will go to France. She wished to send away Don Francisco de Paula, but his son's influence pre vented it. That little check is very significant, and she already knew that the public voice blames her as the promoter of French influence here. The high distinc tion bestowed upon M. Bresson, in the person of his child, having been granted contrary to the laws and con stitutions of the kingdom, the old nobility feel it a great insult to their order. The nobles who appeared yester 4ay as padrinos for the knights in the bull-fights, had at first declined the honour ; but when the Queen inti mated her will, that. renowned Castilian loyalty over came every other feeling." Wherever the QUEEN makes her appearance she is received with shouts of applause ; but the instant the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER appear the a•pplause ceases, and they are received in solemn sJ lence. So painfully apparent has this difference b ecome, that by the advice of the Spanish Govern s tent the period fixed for the departure of the Duke a nd Duchess has been hastened, and instead of re a at Madrid until the 28th, they were to leave a a the 22d. It was supposed that Portugal was the tli eatre of serious events, as no courier from either Li shon or Oporto had arrived for four days. MADRID BOLSA, OCT. 17.—Three per Cents. 35i ( :;h; Four per Cents., 21k; Five per Cents., 22 sh ; ditto, without interest, 6-1. Exchange on ondon, 361. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. They almost all of them contain articles on the ►THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EV.ENING, OCTOBER 24, 1846." subject of the marriage, but the only portion of any of 'diem worth quoting is the folluwing announcement made by the National—" The Conservative party is beginning to consider the conduct of M. GUIAOT ex ceedingly imprudent; already has the sacrifice of his person been considered indispensable, and already conferences have been opened with M. MOLE on the subject." There were rumours in Paris of an approaching change in the Ministry. Al. LACAVE LAPLAGNE, the Finance Minister, is, it is said, about to retire, on ac count of the state of his health, and is to be succeeded by M. PAssY. It was also reported that the Minister of Justice, Al. MARTIN (du Nord), was to be appointed President of one of the courts of justice, and to be succeeded as Minister by Al. lIEBERT. This latter gentleman is the personal friend of M. GutzoT, but Al. PASSY has always been considered as one of the leaders of that section of the Conservative party which looks up to Count MOLE as its head. Now Count MOLE has openly expressed his disapproval of M. GuizoT's conduct towards England in the marriage affair, and this offer of a seat in the Cabinet to M. PABST is looked upon as an attempt to neutralise the opposi tion of Count MOLE in the Chambers. Should the offer be really made, it will be a confession on the part of M. GulzoT that he does not consider his posi tion as too secure. The Journal des Dam's contains an article on the affairs of Geneva, in which the writer is at no pains to conceal his great disappointment at there being no attempt made at outbreak since the installation of the Provisional Government. In this remarkable article the cause of Jesuitism is openly upheld as the cause of justice and true liberty, while those opposed to the Catholic League, as it is called, are denounced as being engaged in illegal proceedings. The article concludes with the following significant passage : " We recommend the Revue des GenOve and M. JAMES FAZY to congratulate themselves on their re volution; but let them make haste, for events are approaching, and their joy may soon be turned into grief." It is something strange to see the peace-loving M. GUIZOT thus playing the part of firebrand, but it is more strange to see the Minister who in France has been compelled, by force of public opinion, to put the laws against the Jesuits in force, openly interfering by force to compel the Swiss to receive and foster those very Jesuits whom he has himself expelled. The Moniteur Algerie of the 15th contains the following : " Djelloul den Taieh, cheick of Djebel Amour, has just arrived with a numerous suite to pay his respects to General de Bar, who acts as governor-general ad interim. The obligation imposed on this influential personage by the Duke of Isly, on receiving his submission, to come to Algiers appeared to hi m a n exceedingly severe con dition. Djelloul had not previously had any personal intercourse with the French authorities. The agitation of his political existence gave to his character a distrust which it was difficult to overcome. Well aware of the hatred and fear which he had inspired by his politi cal conduct, he was apprehensive of some act of treason, or one of those perfidious decisions so com mon under the old Government of the Regency. His suspicious ideas became insensibly modified by the re ception which ;he met with at Tiaret, and the other places which he passed through on his journey. The submission of Djelloul, who has come from so distant a country to the seat of cur Government, is a striking fact, which fixes in a high degree the attention of the tribes of the desert of th e Tell.' The arrival of this chief is not the result of a struggle engaged in against him ; it is the conviction of the inutility of all resistance, and the feeling that he will derive advantage from French rule, which have brought him amongst us. Djelloul and the other chiefs who accompanied him were yesterday presented to the General. He is to-day to be invested with the marks of authority, conferred on him by the orders of the Duke of Islay, over the tribes of the .Djebel Amour and the Ouled Yacoub." l'Amis BOURSE, OCT. 22.—The stock market has been in a state of quietude to-day, and closed within a shade of yesterday's quotations, the Threes at 82f. 65c., and Fives at 117 f. 75c.

BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY. —A rumour appeared in some of the morning papers yesterday, to the effect that an offer of a guarantee by the Great p arry had been made. We have ascertained that there is no truth whatever in this statement. The Great to the Birmingham and Oxford Com pany Board met yesterday, and the subject was not even mentioned. The Great WeAern Company do not intend to make any offer whatever, SUPPOSED ROBBERY ON THE LONDON AND BIR MINGHAM RAILWAY. Yesterday, shortly after eight o'clock, a gentleman whilst travelling from Coventry to Lond?n, by the Birm ' ingham and London line of railway , was either r o bb ed of, or lost, a pocket-book, containinga number o f B ank of Etyrland notes, to the extent in value of n ear l y 50/., a bil l of exchange, severa l receipts, and other m i scellaneous articles of the greatest import ance to th e owner. The unfortunate l oser , it appears, did not discover his loss until he had nearly completed half his journey.

THE NE EDLE T RADE.— Th e nes dle-pointers and the manufacturers of Redditch are still at variance, and the latter have r eso l ve d upon th e decisive measure of employing machi nery to su p erse de entirely the practice of rhand-pointing,, so injurious to life. IHE WIGAN CHIMNEY.—A chimney has lately been erected by a chemist at Wigan which is 420 feet high, and contains 3,000,000 bricks. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Q ZIA a TER TO TME E. The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been active, speculators having been the chief buyers. The sales of the week, including yesterday, were 59,900 bales. The stock is 591,400 bales, against 916,160 bales at this time last year. At the sale of railway shares yesterday, at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, prices were firm. The following are a few of the principal sales:— Great Indian Peninsular £o 6 0 East Indian ... Madrid and Valencia Paris and Lyons 5 7 0 Eastern Counties, York Extension -3 5 6 Paris and Rouen Yorkshire and Glasgow Union 0 14 0 Cornwall and Devon Central Manchester and Southampton Shropshire Union and Canal Caledonian, New... West Riding Union Leicester and Bedford Cornwall 0 16 6 East and West India Dock and London and Birmingham Junction Manchester, Buxton, and Matlock. 2 16 0 London and Brighton, Eighths Churnet and Blythe South Wales The Great Western steamer is not yet announced. The effect of the failure of Messii Harman and Co. will, it is expected, not fall so heavily upon the mercantile interest as most other stoppages of similar magnitude, because the chief creditors of the firm are the Russian Government, the amount due to whom is stated to be not far short of half a million sterling. Probably the sum may prove not to be so large, although the house acted for years as the agents of the Petersburgh Govern ment. Messrs. Masterman are said to be sufferers to the extent of 10,0001., and one or two other parties lose smaller sums. These periodical suspensions among houses once standing preeminent in the mercantile world, excite very serious reflections, and wo could point at once to a principal cause. A firm is successfully carried on for many years to the great enrichment, probably, of all its partners, who retire, one by one, taking with them the balk, and occasionally the whole of their fortunes. New parties assume the responsibi lities of an immense concern with, in nine cases out of ten, a much inferior capital, for the ob vious reason that they come in to make, not invest fortunes, and if, as frequently occurs, there are successive heavy losses in the way of trade, the magni tude of the business done, absorbing as it does the diminished means of the new house, prevents their re covery, and in the end brings them to a stand. The safe course, to our mind, would be to reconstruct any firm from which the wealthier members retire, and contract the business as a safer plan, both for the house and those doing business with it. Mr. Jeremiah Harman, the " great man" in the house now in difficulties, is said to have died worth 600,000/., and the losses of the present firm in the article of cochineal, incurred many years since, are mentioned as one cause of their stoppage. Of course we are unable to affirm or negative this statement. The Funds have been very steady, but scarcely any business has been done. Consols have been 94i to 95 ' for Money, and 95 to 951 for Account. Exchequer bills have been 13s. to 16s. premium. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 958 to 954. The Foreign Bonds have been very dull. Spanish Five per Cents are 268, and the Three per Cents. 37i Portuguese Four per Cents are at 41i. Equador Bonds are 3i. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 59. Shares are scarcely so buoyant as yesterday, but a fair business is doing. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 93% 3 4 3 per Cent.
