ALLSOPP'S PALE ALES and BARON LIEBIG. Although not in the habit of replying to anonymous advertise ments, and although they cannot condescend to answer some of a very discreditable nature to the parties concerned, Messrs. ALL SOPP and SONS are compelled to take notice of an announcement bearing the name of Professor LIEBIG, to which an inviious üb been given. Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS regret p this licity has necessity, they have reason to suppose th a t th at a d vert i semen t as kias emanated from an unworthy jealousy on the part of those who should rather have shown gratitude for the labour and expense which Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS have not spared to remove the otherwise ruinous prejudice impending the Pale and Bitter Ales of this country from the mistake of a French chemist. Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS would now call the attention of the üblic to the following points : . . That the original letter of Baron LIEBIG is addressed to Mr. ENRY ALLSOPP, individually. That he therein Intimates that he had been applied to by Mr. HENRY ALLSOPP on the subject, and that his opinion had been requested, of course, for publication, by that gentleman. That he therein acknowledges the receipt of samples of ALL KIPP'S PALE ALES, from the London battlers, as well as other samples of the same, sent to him direct, by private friends. On these he, specifically, founds the opinion reported by him to Mr. HENRY ALLSOPP in that letter—the general mention of the Bur ton brewers being incidental. And thus, then, the letter of Baron LIEBIG having been written for Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS, and sent to Mr. HENRY ALL SOPP, on the subject of Messrs. ALLSOP and SONS' ALES, they, having, as they had, Baroa LIEBIG'S authority to do so, were fully entitled to publish it. • Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS consider it not unnecessary to add, that their intercourse with Baron LIEBIG is of some duration ; they having frequently consulted the learned professor on certain pro cesses of brewing. And they are confident, therefore, that this last letter, anonymously issued, must either have been greatly muti lated previously to publication, or that it could only have been sent in reply to some wrong impression conveyed to that eminent man, In respect to an alleged undue publicity given to his opinions. Burton-upon-Trent, Aug. 25, 1852. PROFESSOR LIEBIG on ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE. From Baron Liebig to Mr. Allsopp. " The specimens of your Pale Ale sent to me afforded me another opportunity of confirming its valuable qualities. lam myself an ad. mirer of this beverage, and my own experience enables me to re commend it, in accordance with the opinion of the most eminent English physicians, as a very agreeable and efficient tonic, and as a general beverage, both for the invalid and the robust. " JUSTUS LIEBIG. " Giessen, May 6, 1852." That the Public might form a correct judgment of the inten tion of that eminent authority, Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS have republished Baron LIEBIG'S Letter to Mr. ALLSOPP in extenso, In all the London Daily Journals, as well as In Other Papers, copies of which Letter, and of the very numerous and continually increas ing Professional Testimonials in favour of their PALE and BITTER ALE, may be obtained on application at the Brewery, Barton-on- Trent ; or at their EstablisUments in London, Liverpool, Manches ter, Dudley, Glasgow, Dublin, Birmingham, and elsewhere.

Sir COLIN reasonably have acted otherwise. fro i d not have acted otherwise without derog ating dignity of his position and jeopardisin g th e po t ': high e v r r en. trusted to his safe keeping and supervision, the particulars just received, and above referred to, it is very evident that while the get. lant officer in command at Peshawur h as acted throughout with the utmost gallantry and promptitude daring the course of recent pro ceedings, his efforts have been nullifiA, his autho. rity has been interfered with, a3/1 his most earnest representations set aside by the " politica!'" without the smallest respe c t on their part for his superior military knowl e d ge and experience. Sir Court con sidered that the force placed at his disposal was in adequate for the due carrying out of the proposed achievements. Notwithstanding this, the Board thought differently—the cpinion of the com manding officer was co ntravened—orders were issued the:oupon accordingly —the politicals had 1 it all their own way— and, o f course— I Sir Court CAMPBELL resigned! All these untoward misuaderstandings reflect anything but THE SUN, honour upon the Board of Administration. They illustrate again the necessity of some radical system of re-organization in the Indian Government. They show beyond the reach of contradiction that the line of demarcation ought to be properly marked down between the various departments of the public service —but, most of all, between the civil and the military. It almost tempts us to quote the Latin grammar in our disgust—the Ne sutor, et cetera, familiar to every school-boy, but surely for gotten, if, indeed, it was ever learnt, by the politicals acting under the authority of j the Board of Adminis tration. Happily, the terms of the East India Charter must, within a few months, be brought di rectly under the scrutiny of the Imperial Adminis tration. It will then be decided by our Legis lators—after a careful examination of the evidence submitted to them through the medium of an authoritative Commission —whether some means cannot b e d ev ised whereby the adminis trative machinery of Hindostan could be re-arran g ed upon some more judicious principle, so as secure the commanding officers of the Anglo-Indian a t io from the unfortunate, and too often disastrous, inter ference of civilians in no way qualified to direct the movements of a campaign. If CLIVE had been perpetually interfered with by the politicals (after be bad obtained the command of the army) , wou ld so many ~v ictories, we wonder, have followed the f o ughten field of Plassey ? If HAsTINGs had authorized his political subordinates to interpose between the military officers appointed t o hav e conduct pro theved troopstriumphant of the Company, odmupr during the course of hisny, would our arms ever-memorable and (we can add now without fear of ex citing the Wonderfully heartburning of part y v i ru l ence ) hi s glorious a dministration ? different were the views entertained upon this subject, as to the pro priety of allowing 26,1iticians to interfere with the military arrangemez A 3 of commanders-in-chief—as PVidOIIGed in the in4t a ,„ of Sir HENRY T (bow Viscount) H —ARDINGE''when in supreme authority in the Governor-General's palace at Calcutta. So sensible was that eminent man of the folly of tolera ting proceedings of this character that—although himself one of the most illustrious among the lieute nants of WELLINGTON, although covered with re nown by his many achievements as a general officer, and invested with supreme power by his position at the head of the Administrative Council of Calcutta—he waived his many claims for precedence, and volun tarily placed himself under the command of Sir HARRY (now the Lord Viscount) GOUGH, the Com mander-in-Chief of the British forces in Hindos tan. In this manner wore fought the great battles of Sobraon and Goojerat, as well as the fierce and sanguinary struggles at Ramnugger and Chillianwallah. The soldier was then not invariably at the beck of the civilian. Had it been thus always with Sir CHARLES NAPIER during the course of his renowned advance into Scinde, had the energies of that redoubtable conqueror been perpetually hampered by the inter posing quibbles and objections of the politicals, we question if his judgment would have been left suffi ciently serene to guide his dauntless courage and his incomparable tactics to the achievement of his two most splendid victories at Meanee and Hyderabad. Yet, throughout the history of our great and rapid conquests in the northern and the southern, in the east ern and the western provinces of Hindostan—the his torian of British rule in the East has had to lament the incidental interposition here and there of the civilians arrogating to themselves an authority superior to that of the commanders-in-chief. In stances of this kind, almost countless, might be culled from the annals of our rule in India, from the pages of - ORME and MILL, as well as from all the miscellaneous writing referring to our Oriental Government. Parliament will do well to make a "note of this" as carefully as Captain CLITTLE, during the course of the inquiry that must take place in reference to the removal of the powers accorded to the Board of Administration at Calcutta, and to the Court of Directors in Leadenhall-street, by the supreme will of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Government. There is no branch of industry productive of more ,mportant results, and having a more direct operation on the national prosperity than that engaged in the management and working of our numerous collieries. The " bhick diamond " is indeed the chief source of our national wealth and the unparalleled elasticity of our national resources. Without it we should hold a very different position in the scale of nations from that now occupied. The inventions of WATT and ARIEWRIGEIT would be comparatively worthless. We could not hope to supply the world with calico or iron. The power-looms of Manchester would remain idle, and the mineral riches of Cornwall would still remain buried in the bowels of the earth. The coal fields of Durham and Cumberland are really more valuable than the gems of Golconda, the silver of P o _ tosi, or the auriferous sands of California or Australia ; for the value of the former is intrinsic, of th e l atter fictitious. The first stimulates and excites every other branch of industry, w hich is impaired and de teriorated by the latter. O n e man employed in the collieries provides occupation for a dozen others—one at " the diggins " is simply withdrawn from agricultural or pastoral pursuits. The gold dust in the pockets of the digger may bring the landed proprietor, or the owner of flocks and herds to the verge of ruin, and leave the cloth manufac turer of Leeds without the raw material, on w hi c h he is dependent for his finer fabrics; and, as a natural consequence, may consign the intelligent and hard working artizan and his family to the tender mercies of the Union workhouse. The destinies of the Anglo- Saxon race, their sturdy independence of character, and unflinching determination, may, in no small de• gree, have been influenced, or produced, by the geo logical formation of the north of England. The man who had " coal" in unlimited quantities at his command became literally a "Fire-king," with full control over that tremendous element, which en abled him t o acco mplish more than could be a c hi eve d t hrough the agency of the Gins and Afrites of East ern mythology. Und er suc h circumstances, an d w ith th e un i versal a afford it ispp reciatio n o f t h e v i ta l i mpor t ance o f th e " coa l m i nes, ' 1 Only astoni s hi ng th a t so littl e ha s hith er t o been - done to ameliorate ••iiorat security e to the system st e m b 0 l d o f and d o e o h r i o t g o great er miner wh o daily encounters the most formidable dan gers, and bra ves 1 may at almost that might appal the mo s t hardy —wh o a an y moment be buried alive by the falli ng iti portion of th e roo f un d e r w hich he is w er ki ng _ s corbched by the fire-dam p—smothere d the explosion of th e after blast or choke dana y the f a t a l operat i on o f not less surely destroyed bP n a r t more slowly but i m pure and pernicious atmosphe re , yc — on s rly inhaling an th e vital principle.

The simple fact that the deaths from fire explosions amount on an average to more than one thousand in each and every year, should have long since stimu lated us into activity. But where the danger is fami liar, and the victims of lowly station, it is difficult to produce en e r ge ti c act i on . If an exp l os i on were to take place in the vicinity of either House of Parlia ment—if the lawn sleeves of a venerable prelate were damaged by the fire damp, r. gouty peer s mothered by the after blast, tative or an elderly represen of a popula r constituency poisoned b y un wholesome air, te something would speedily be at mPted and every possible means of pr even ti on resorted t o . Asii . of public opinion will we ca n on ly h ope t h at the voice nn will ultimately be heard even in the inmost recesses at Westminster,' dof the "Queen's P a l ace that our Legislators will f eel bound to give practicaln effect to the valuable sugges tions of the Select Co mmittee, appointed last session, "to inquire into the causes of the frequency of ex plosions in the coal mines, with a view to prevent the appalling loss of life arising from them." Tae report of this Committee, , to which we would LONDON, earnestly invite the attention of our readers, more especially of those in any degree interested in col lieries, is an instructive and well-considered docu ment. The members manifestly entered on their subject calmly and dispassionately, without favour or prejudice. Their desire was to remove this crying ev il, and, in order to do so with the least possible delay, they largely availed themselves of the labours of their predecessors in similar inquiries —more e specially of the South Shields Committee, of whom th e y speak in terms of we ll- merited approbation. They speak of the safety lamp of Sir HUMPHREY DAvY, which was introduced in the year 1815, and dedicated to the public by the great chemist, who, with a disinterestedness beyond all praise, gratuitously surrendered what might be the source of immense and almost boundless riches. The effect of that discovery was, as de scribed by a competent witness, "to operate as a complete renovator to many collieries which were then in a state of exhaustion." But too much confi dence was placed in this valuable invention. An act of common carelessness by a single individual of the hundreds engaged, might cause the destruction of all the others ; and even without the fault of any person, circumstances might arise to deprive it of its effici ency, as, for instance, if placed in a current of air. It does not strike at the root of the evil, and perhaps may have led to greater mischief, by diverting the attention of coal proprietors and their overlookers from that " better ventilation" which, according to the Committee, is " the improvement most generally needed and most to be aimed at"—the only true and secure means for prevention of explosions. How then to produce and certainly keep up this improved ven tilation, is the great desideratum, and that is the problem to the solution whereof attention is chiefly to be directed. The Committee, under these conditions of the question, speedily arrive at the conclusion that " any, system of ventilation depending on complicated ma chinery, is unadvisable, since, under any disarrange ment, or fracture of its parts, the ventilation is stopped, or becomes less efficient ;" and as a corollary thereto, " that the two systems, which alone can be considered as rival powers, are the furnace and the steam jet." The first proposition appears almost self evident, and if so, it follows as a natural consequence that the agency of man, the most complicated machine of any, and on which the least dependence could be placed —as a drowsy fit, or a glass too much, might defeat the most prudent regulations and best devised precautions—should, as far as practicable, be dispensed with. Of course it must, to a certain extent, be re sorted to, but the object is to do so to the least possible degree. After a careful considera tion, then, of the rival systems, they avow a decided preference for the steam jet, to the powers of which " there appears to be no practical limit. This would command a current of air which would not only prevent the possibility of explosions, but would preserve the health of the miners from a con dition of atmosphere which has hitherto rendered them a short-lived race—dying long before the ordinary limits of human existence. With such advantages, it is almost unnecessary to allude to others of less importance ; the C omm itt ee , however, express their decided and unanimous opinion that " the steam jet is (not only) the most powerful, but also the least expensive method for the ventilation of mines." Why, then, should its introduction not be immedi ately enforced in every colliery ? It is of course desira ble to avoid auy undue interference with private pro perty, but the necessity of such interference has re peatedly been recognised and is constantly acted on. Omnibus and cab drivers are placed under control for the public benefit ; we cannot build on our own land in a metropolitan street without the sanction of the sur veyor of highways. Above all, we are not allowed to carry on a noxious trade that may prove prejudi cial to the health or to the comforts of our neighbours. Why, then, should not the principle be extended, where not only the health of tens of thousands of our fellow-subjects, but their very lives are concerned— where they not only may be subjected to a fearful and sudden death,but where no less than one thousand miners actually perish annually ? Away, then, with the ridiculous squeamishness that has hitherto pre vented the necessary legislation. Let the various recommendations of the Committee be carried into practical operation, and the working of every mine be stopped which is not provided with " the steam jet," the Invaluable contribution of Mr. (OLDS WORTHY GURNEY, to the security of the miners, and, as a natural consequence, to the prosperity of the colliery proprietors. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur, in reply to the assertions of the Times (whose attaclo, it says, do not move the Go vernment) that 1,200 persons had after Dec. 2 been assassinated by drunken soldiers in the streets of Paris, declares that the exact number of persons killed i❑ the insurrection was 380 ; of persons accidentally wounded only 8 or 10. I.q. DE PERBIGNY arrived at Dieppe on the 28th from London. He is expected back to Paris in a few days. The Courtier du Gers and the Messager du Midi publish a complete list of the persons in their depart ments who have obtained a commutation of punish- ment by the late amnesty. The number is 57 for the Gers, and 90 for the Herault. This commutation applies in every instance to persons sentenced to be transported to Algeria. In the He:ault there are four absolute pardons, but in the Gera not one. The journals of the Lot publish a list of seven persons benefited by the amnesty, of whom three are to leave the country. The department of the Dordogne has had six commutations, one of which is for M. CUALES DESOLMES. The Salut Public of Lyons publishes a list o; more than twenty lull pardons and several commuta tions of punishment of political otrendtrs of the de partment of the Arcl6che. - The Assembles Nationale says :—" A Belgian journal, the Emancipation, announces that the right of giving warnings to the journals is about to be withdrawn from the prefects, which will be hence forth exercised -only by the Minister of General Police. What gives reason to believe that the Bel gian journal is well informed is that the suspension for two months inflicted on the Gazette du Languedoc was declared by M. DE NAIIPAS." The Moniteur announces that ilie Council-General of the department of the Ille-et-Vilaine, has adopted resolutions expressing gratitude to Prince Louis NA POLEON for having by his energy saved France, and the hope that for the sake of the repose and pros perity of the country his government may be made stable. The Moniteur also publishes the following address to the PRINCE PRESIDENT from the Council General of the Puy-de-Dome : " Monseigneur,—By the great act of the 2d Decem ber you rendered to France, which was disquieted and I menaced, security and confidence. The Council-Gene ral of the Pay-de-DOme expresses to you its profound gratitude, in the name of a department which has al ways proclaimed you with the most patriotic enthusiasm, and which has not ceased to place in you alone all hope of salvation. But, Prince, the work is still incomplete. When the term of a temporary government approaches, confidence is paralysed, national labour is compromised, the existence of the country is placed in question. The stability of a government is an indispensable condition of prosperity and grandeur for a nation; it alone can confides to give activity and prosperity to commerce and industry. Convinced of these principles, and full of confidence in ° f it °Pe you, the Council-General expresses the wish that the Power with which you have been invested shall be esta blishedon the longest . and most lasting bases, and it have also patriotism the approaching realisation Arrondissements of .1 - cEorinunctrey, Resolution s ''isexressing in warm terms gratitude to alsoaroLEols for his services to the Lou Arcis-sur-Aube been adopted by the Councils of Savenay (Loire-lnferi e ) 11 r (Aube) (Ain), Moulins (Allier), La Tour du Pin (Isere), Langres (Haute-Marne) (Loire -r Cherbourg (Manche), nay (Meurthe), Mor tagne (Orne), ( No rd), llszebrouek and Louhans (Saone-et-Loire) .

A letter from Brussels, of the 23d, says :—" Yes terday was the second anniversary of the death of Louis PHILIPPE, and the Royal Family here had a solemn service celebrated in the church of Notre Dame, at Lacken, for the soul of the deceased. The Duke of BRABANT, the Count of FLANDERS, and the Princess CHARLOTTE were present in deep mourning, and a great number of the royal household were in attendance. After the service the Princes and the Princess went to pray at the tomb of their august mother, in the chapel St. Barbe." The president and secretary of the Central Com mittee of the Belgian Printers went, on Saturday, to the Minister of the Interior, at Brussels, to obtain information respecting the Literary Treaty with France. The Chef de Division endeavoured, says the Emancipation, to convince them that the suppression of the power of reprinting works would not be inju rious to the printing trade ; but they declared that it would cause its ruin, and that of the trades dependent on it. GERMAN Y. The Cologne Gazette of the 29th says the last decla ration of the coalition of Darmstadt bears the impress of conciliation.

The Duke of CAMBRIDGE left Hanover on the 26th en route to Berlin. It is reported in the Court circles at Brunswi c k, that the reigning Duke intends to abdicate. The King of SWEDEN is at present staying at Zurich, under the name of Count Tur.G 4 tN. The Post-4 mit Gazette of Frankfort states that in the provin ces of Austria where the state of siege is maintained the press is placed under the surveillance of the civil authorities. The forced currency of 3 per cent. Treasury bonds has been removed. A letter from Munich states that the King of BAVARIA will in November visit Spain, and remain absent from Bavaria more than three months. The .N6a, Gazette of the Oder mentions that during the journey of the Emperor of AUSTRIA he promised the most liberal rewards to any one who should find the Crown of Hungary, which disappeared in the re volution. His MAJESTY has promised a million of florins to three magnates who are suspected of being in correspondence with KOSSUTH if they should suc ceed in discovering the Crown. The clergy have called on their flocks to give all the information in their power on this subject. Experiments are now making at Vienna to manu facture bayonets of caoutchouc, which will enable soldiers when exercising to practise different evolu tions with that weapon without danger. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin of the 26th quotes a letter from Rome, stating that the medical advisers of the PorE have recommended him to exchange the Vati can for the Quirinal Palace, which is situated in a healthier part of the city, but that his HOLINESS is very averse to this exchange, and that he has se veral times exclaimed in answer to those who urged him to do so—" I have been besieged in that palace !" Neverth e l ess, the Quirinal has been prepared for his reception. "the Minister of Feblic Works," says a letter from Rome of the 2 , )th, " has just announced officially that measures have been taken in the Pontifical State to continue the Neapolitan electric telegraph from Terracina to Rome, to proceed after wards to join the lines already established in Upper Italy." GREECE. Accounts from Athens to the 17th have arrived, but they are unimportant. The Chamber of Depu ties had voted another quarter's supplies, though the discussion of the budget had not commenced. The file of NAPOLEON was celebrated on the 15th with some pomp by the French authorities and residents. A banquet was given on board a frigate by the Ad miral commanding the station, and it was attended by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Grand Marshal of the Palace. ATe Deum was chanted in the Catholic Church. RUSSIA. The Emperor of Russia. has authorised the forma tion of a company which proposes to raise sunken vessels and sell them, as a remuneration for its la bours. Its operations will extend from the south shore of the Gulf of Finland, at Narva, as far as the Baltic Sea, in the direction of Polangen. The cholera is greatly on the decline in Warsaw, and a strong confirmation of thin is the cholera list of Monday, the 23d. Experience nos hitherto proved that the epidemic has always had the largest number of victims on a Monday, as the people have no idea of restricting themselves in their Sunday's festivities. The list was—attacked, 226 ; died 120 ; recovered, 9 05 ; remaining under treatment, 977. Sixty young men belongi ng t o t h e P o li s h no bili ty have voluntarily uttered to enter the R uss i an army as officers : many of them, by desire of the EMPEROR, have been entered in the regiment of the Guards. Some of the old Polish nobility are greatly distressed at this event. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE ENGLISH "' R ms.—A letter of caution has been sent to the Paris correspondent of the Morning Advertiser, by which it will be seen that M. Dumoulares denuncia• tion simply extends to articles written in France which way , contain "fals e and calumnious " state ments tending "to disturb order and public tran quillity." The notice is as follows : " Paris, Aug. 28. " Monsieur, — You are aware that the'French Govern ment has the right to expel from its territory foreigners f io may endea vcur , b y t h e i r writings nation or rna disturb order and publi c tran o whatsoever,rvres, w- Lto trsn quillity. The Administration of General Police does not wish to avail itself of this right excepting upon serious ground , Nor does it desire to hold the co rr e s p on d en t s of •.; • foreign journals ‘; esponsible for articles of discrssion or political appreciation published by such journals ; but it is resolved not to permit that the transmission of the falsest information, suc h as Is o penly and daily forwarded by cer tain correspondents, shall remain unpunished. In fact, it could not possibly be permitted that a man who enjoys the protection accorded by th e Government to all per sons who dwell in France shall profit by the !advantages of oar law without being for ce d to su b m i t to t h e obli gations which s, they imose. p A. letter, however, addres s d to the Alorning Adver ti ser, of which you are the corres pondent, dated Monday, the 23d of August, and dpub lishpaper on Wed nes d ay t h e 25 t h, contains the.mobsty thatfalse and most. calumnious assertions against the French Administration. It is, therefore, my duty to inform you, that if sim ilar correspondence should b e again addressed to tho Morning Advertiser, the law which g i ves to the Governm en t the right t o expel foreigners will be immediately applied.—l have th e honour, Sir, to salute you, Director of the Press Depart ment, C. LATOUR. DIIMOULIN.” THE CAPE AND AUSTRALIAN MAILS.--The Cleo patra is the second private steamer which the Post-office has into a contract with to carry mails to the Cape as e Good Hope, Melbourne , and Sydney, and she will leave °- Plymouth on the 7th proximo, and all letters posted up byher, to the evening of the 6th proximo will be sent be a shil ling, vided they are not directed to go by any other route. P IT; postage on a single letter by the Oleopatra will fing, and must be prepaid. Newspapers go free, they are not more than a week old. Contracts with indivi dual steamers is a new plan of the Government. I t will be recollected that the authorities set their faces against cone tracts with the individual steamers which started in the fi will be place between this country and America. The great advan tage of these contracts with the Australian steamers is their punctuality in starting, and greater care of the mails observed. The great drawback is a higher rate of postage than by vessels sailing without a contract. under THE GUILD OF LITERATURE AND ART, --UND ER . LAND, SATURDAY NIGHT.--The amateur company, handsome the management of Zr. Charles Dickens, performed this town to-night, on behalf of the Guild of Literature and Art. The place of representation was an exceedingly concert hall, the Lyceum, which was first opened on this occasion. Notwithstanding that it was market night, whi ch prevented hundreds from being present, the audience w as one of the largest and most fashionable that has attended a dramatic representation in this borough. The pieces offered were the comedy of Not so Bad as we Seem, and Mr. Night ingale's Diary, and the reception of the company was Very enthusiastic. Charles Dickens, Mark Lemon, and Charles Knight, were especially cheered as they appeared on the stage. The proceeds of the "house it was calculated w ou l d amount to about 3001. THE CROSBY HALL EVENING CLASSES......O O Thursday, the lecturers, committee, and students connected with the evening classes at Crosby Hall, Bishopsgate, took an excursion, by spec i a l t ra in, from the Eastern Counties Railway, at Shoreditch station, to the Rye House, near Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. The train left London at ten o'clock, and reached the Rye House at eleven. At half-past two o'clock a cold collation was served in the dining-hall The chair was occupied by the Rev. F. Statham, in the ab sence of the Lord Mayor. It is stated that within the last four years above 2,000 young men of London had joined the classes, the funds of which were in a prosperous state, and an excellent library is in course of accumulation. THEATRICAL ON DIT3.—We believe that Mr. Buckatone will be l essee o f the Haymarket, Mr. Webster having withdrawn from that establishment to confine himself entirely to the Adelphi, where, without disturbing the ' r ei gn of Mad ame C e l este, he will yet exerc i se his abilities as a principal and an actor. Of course, Mr. Buckstone_host as he is, and host as he will be, in himself—will cause many new features to appear in the Haymarket corps, if he do not altogether reconstruct it, or form a new one. The commit. tee of Drury-lane have sent for Mr. Webster, and invited him to manage for them, or take for himself, that " National Theatre," which has proved so disastrous to others; but all is, as yet, in embryo. We are happy to say that Viscountess Palmerston is fast advancing to convalescence, all dangerous symptoms having disappeared. AUGUST 31. THE SHARE MAAKETS. ILAILWAYS Railways. Nominal Prices.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 1,000 American and 500 Egyptian on speculation. The market closed firmly, and Egyptian at 6;d. was in demand for speculation. The sales com prised 5,500 American, 130 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to std., 100 Bahia at; 6/cl. to 6/d., 1,500 Egyptian at Sid. to Bid., and 500 Surat at 3id. to 4id. per lb.— Railway Shares were quiet. The merchant-ship St. Vincent, arrived from Syd ney, only brings April dates, but has 1,452 ounces of gold on board. Accounts from Canada inform us of a Gc- vernment proclamation having been issued, no tifying that the various sections of the great trunk railway are at the disposal of ca pitalists, consequently the idea of a guarantee from the mother country has been abandoned. The line i s to proceed from some point on the eastern boundary line of Canada to St. Joseph de la Pointe Levi, from thence to Richmond to join the Montreal and Portland road; from Montreal to Kingston, Kingston to Picton, Picton to Toronto, Toronto to Hamilton, and Hamilton to Port Sarnia. Companies are already at work on some portions of these railways. The spread of cholera on the continent is occasioning a renewal of the vexatious, though, perhaps, necessary quarantine regulations. The Swedish Government has declared the Danish, Prussian, and the Russian Baltic ports infected. The East Indian commercial letters are the worst re ceived for some time, especially from Calcutta, and will act injuriously, no doubt, upon the Manchester market. The English Stocks are very firm this morning, and there have been no bargains in Censels under par, either for Money or Time, although the transactions are very limited. The quotations now are 100 to 100*. The premium on Exchequer-bills is 765., and on India Bonds 86s. Bank Stock is supported at 229 to 230. Several purchases have been made in Reduced Three per Cents. at,looi to 100 i, being rather a higher range. The fine weather inspires much confidence, in the ab sence of unfavourable political news. In Foreign Securities there is much firmness, although the transactions have been very limited. Grenada De ferred Bonds have been quoted at 12. Brazilian old Stock has been supported at 1024. Spanish Deferred are in favour still at the full prices of 22,i to j. Russian Bonds have been steady at 104:, for the Four-and-a-Half per Cants., and French Four-a n d- a -H a lf per C ents. at 104 50, w i th the exchange at 25 30. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 99 to Mexican Bonds are nominal, and nothing has been done in Portuguese. The Railway Share Market has been fluctuating with the progress of the settlement, and although no general advance has occurred, there is in some cases an im provement. Eastern Counties and Great Western are buoyant. Several lines are now quoted ex-dividend, and among them are South-Western, Great Northern, Midland, York and Berwick, and Eastern Counties. French shares have been quiet but steady. In Gold Mine shares the dealings are not numerous, bat prices keep steady. Australian Bank shares are firm, and Royal Mail Steam have been done at 78.
