It was about this time last year that Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S memorable letter was addressed to his con stituents, the electors of the city of London. A remarkable document, it appeared at a remarkable time. The public mind was greatly agitated—alter nately elated and depressed by every idle rumour, a prey to unceasing anxiety and suspense. An unpre cedented failure of provisions induced terrible anti cipations for the approaching winter. The shadow of coming events fell heavily on the hearts of many, and though a few were sanguine, and anticipated good out of the evil, all felt that an eventful moment had arrived—one of those periods which occur to nations as to indivi duals, when, according as the opportunity is seized, the tide of their affairs may carry them to fortune or destructi )n. Last year—l as t N ovem b er, the great body of the people were fully persuaded that for them such a moment had arrived ; and as a high spirited charger, perceiving a precipice on his path, remains obedient to the rein, and follows the guidance of his master, while he trembles with apprehension lest that master, less prescient of the danger, involve them both in certain ruin, so did the obedient multitude, fully alive to the exigency of the moment, watch in eager and anxious antici pation lest their rulers sh ou ld b e unable or unwilling to avoid the danger that menaced them. The con tinual Cabinet Councils inspired but little confidence ; they only showed that, if something were con templated, nothing was resolved. It was at this propitious moment that Lord Joux Itusszu's letter, proclaiming his adhesion to the doctrines of free trade, excited universal attention and almost universal sympathy. It was at once recognised, not as an explanatory address from a Member of Parlia ment to his constituents, but as the manifesto of a great political leader ready to become the exponent 1 1 of the popular will. As such it was received with 1 general satisfaction. The great question wag decided. that passionate ejaculation which a modern poet has state which they constituted in concert with all the great powers of Europe, and which they placed under the guardianship of those very persons who have now confiscated it to their own profit, to be thus destroyed, without taking formal notice of this brutal infraction of public faith. What force would a united act add to these protests ? We believe, for our parts, that it could only weaken them. France and Eng land, in fact, are not in the same situation with respect to the treaties of Vienna. England called them forth, and even dictated them against us ; England owes to them the preponderance which she now ex ercises in Europe; England is, besides, the particular ally of Austiia, who profits by the spoliation that has j t u er s e t s t t ak i e n n the pl ace. England has, therefore, a great maintenancein terest of the treaties of Vienna France, on the contrary, has quite oppo s it e interests ; it is her chains, it is the instrument of her abasement, which the three Northern Courts have just broken Without her desire to preserve peace, without the sym pathies which unite her to the fate of Poland, withou the profound sentiment which she fe e ls of the formid able complications and infinite disasters that a European war would produce, she would clap her hands with joy at the violation of these odious treaties, no longer binding on her, from the moment that they who im posed them free themselves from them without her assent. France cannot view this violation in the same manner as England. Iler demonstration cannot certainly be either less energetic or less complete than that of the English Cabinet, but it must have another character, spring from a different principle, and result in other conclusions. Und mbteclly, she must show to the three Powers the extent of the fault w hich they have committed in hazarding all in Europe for so futile an in terest ; undoubtedly, she must blame them for having taken from the Polish nationality the shadow of exist ence which the treaties of Vienna had guaranteed; un doubtedly, in fine, she must by her exa m ple call forth protests from all Europe against an act which destroys the common bond of sovereignties, and proclaims the law of the strongest; but she must not stop there. She must provide for the eventuality of her representations remaining of no avail; she must show that, if the case arrive, she will regard herself as freed from the engage ments which force imposed on her in 1815, and which she has since religiously observed; she must accept in all its extent, without complaining o f it, an d w ith its advantages as with its risks, this reign of force which the three Courts that have seized on Cracow have just proclaimed in Europe. This is what England cannot have either the desire or the will to do, because she has quite opposite interests. France ought not therefore to accept a common action, even were it on both sides frank and energetic, because she would no longer be free to act as her interest demands." As might be expected, France will not confineberself to merely protesting ; she is but too glad to be re leased from the fulfilment of the burdensome condi tions imposed on her by the treaty of Vienna; and takes advantage of its repudiation by the three Northern Powers in the Cracow affair, to declare that she shall only continue to execute the conventions entered into in 1815 until it may suit her to set them aside. The following, from the Epoque, may be re garded as an official declaration to this effect on the part of M. GUIZOT : " The only thing which we believe to he positive and altogether certain is, that the French Government is firmly resolved henceforth to consider the treaty of Vienna as broken, and completely bsokrn-loudl3 to pro claim that resolution, and to execute the conventions o' 1815 just to the moment when it may suit France to set thorn aside. Austria, Russia, and Prussia have relieved France of her obligation, and France is much obliged to them." placed in the lips of the sempstress : " 0, bat to breathe the breath Of the cowslip and primrose sweet," With the sky above my head, And the grass beneath my feet." We might enlarge, and with deplorable justice, upon the brutality of harnessing women like cattle, to drag heaps of coal up steep acclivities to the mouth of the excavation. We might dilate upon the distortion of limb, the debasement of mind, the de struction of morality consequent upon these cruel and indecent proceedings. We might do all this and more, and be justified in so doing, but, under the circumstances, we shall content ourselves with a naked statement of facts. If the Government were backward in the per- formance of their duty, others were ready to fill their place. The leader of the Opposition, giving voice to the sentiments of the people, an nounced to the Minister what line of conduct the country expected him to pursue—a line of conduct which that Minister had himself already decided on adopting! A year has elapsed since these events transpired, yet few can have forgotten them and the earnest interest they excited; they are written in our memories in lines not easily effaced. A year has elapsed—a year, perhaps, unparalleled in the annals of statesmanship. The chief of the Opposition, then writing as a simple Member of Par liament to his constituents, has been since called upon to legislate as a Minister, and achieve the glory of contributing to the welfare of the people, but not until he had achieved the yet greater glory of as sisting a rival in so doing—not until (to use his own words) he had "had the satisfaction of feeling that, although out of office, he had mainly assisted in pro ducing the triumph of the Minister:of the Crown." The Minister, whose intentions were last year a problem which all were desirous of solving, whose political sagacity was about to . be tested, and whose patriotism, severely tried, has since then bien proved, and found not wanting, regardless of personal sacrifice, he has consummated the great measures which the welfare of the country rendered exigent. He has retired from office followed by the bless ings of his countrymen, leaving, as he him self prophesied, a name "execrated by every monopolist, but a name remembered with ex pressions of good-will in the abodes of men whose lot it is to labour." Such are the changes one short year has brought about in the once rival leaders of the once great factions. And other and not less im portant alterations have been effected. Monopoly is no more—the corn-laws were ! Such facts require no comment—there is a satisfaction in their simple enumeration. The League, crowned with victory has (as Mr. COBDEN happily phrased it) " subsided into its primitive elements on the triuleph of its prin ciples, while its spirit has been diffused through all the nations of the earth," as is daily manifested by the reception foreign countries are giving to its great apostle. To these extraordinary facts we have again and again alluded, but we are more pecu liarly induced to do so on the present occasion, because we have now arrived at the anniversary of that anxious time when they were as yet in nubib,fs ; aryl because, from the realisation of past hopes, we would deduce bright expectations for the future. Another November has arrived; another year will shortly have terminated ; in two months the Parliament 1% ill again assemble. It is at such a time, more especially, that all really anxious for the general welfare should look thoughtfully on the past and on the future. If some of last year's expectations have been fulfilled, let such triumph only stimulate us to more exertion. In the great things that have been done let us recognize the yet greater that remain to do. Last session the power of the people was peculiarly manifested ; the battles fought were with their arms, the triumphs achieved by their champions. It is now, therefore, that we would have impressed upon the mind of every individual member of that great body the consciousness of their extensive power, and the necessity for vigorously exerting it. Victorious in their recent campaign, let them not abate in energy or exertion. In nothing is the skill of a great general more conspicuous than in his con duct after a victory. If vigorously followed up, one triumph may lead the way to universal conquest if otherwise, the triumph may be worse than a defeat, These thoughts should now animate the breasts of Englishmen at the present moment. Their battle of Cannes has been won ; let them on to Rome ; let no Capua delay them, no false security delude them. Perhaps in very distant times, when the future phi losopher shall look back on the annals of this country, at no peliod of her whole history will England appear more interesting than at the present. Now, when her conquests and her commerce have rendered her prosperous at home and powerful abroad, not dazzled or deluded by such triumphs and such prosperity, she is turning all her thoughts and energies to her social regeneration. The power of her kings and her captains has given way to the more peaceful, but all potent, authority of her people. That authority has already been exercised, and not in vain. Last November, Lord JOHN Rus s Ear., after enumerating the evils of protection, and pointing out the remedy, observed, in conclusion, "but, if this end is to be achieved, it must be gained by the unequivocal expression of the public voice.," That voice was expressed, and the end is gained. And so say we now, in the words of the Prime Minister, when we look upon the many evils yet existing—upon the many great reforms yet ne cessary—so say we now—" if these great things are to be achieved—if the triumphs of last session are to be followed up—if the real blessings of good go vernment are to be diffused throughout the land— such a glorious end can only be achieved by the un equivocal expression of the public voice !" Three females were destroyed in the Coppall ex plosion : JANE MOSS, aged 21 ; JANE HALLIWELL, aged 13; and MARY BOOTH, aged 11 ; and they were all what is technically called "drawers," they were all toiling in the ropey and leathern bands attached to the teal-carts, they were all debarred from the decencies and amenities of domestic life. Mary BOOTH, aged eleven years! We can understand how CHARLES LAMB came to say that the children of the very poor "never prattle," that they are " not brought up, but dragged up !" What is the extenu ation attempted by the parties who were na turally looked to as responsible for this inhumanity? Why, it was insisted that the owner of the coal mine was i_oorant that there were females among his labourers. From all the facts which were eli cited on this remarkable inquest, we believe that Mr. HARGREAVES was unaware of this execrable cruelty. We acquit him of all knowledge of the actual cir• cumstances in this particular. Nevertheless, we cannot, and we do not acquit Mr. HARGREAVES of all blame in the matter. He should have regarded as one of the necessary duties entailed: upon him by the pos session of a colliery the preservation of decency and propriety upon his works ; he should have been most scrupulous as to the sex of those engaged on his establishment; he should have compelled his la bourers to have appeared periodically before an espe cial inspector. Instead of doing this, and although he acknowledges that the ordinary inspector assured bim that he entertained suspicions " from the voices of the drawers" that there were girls in his em ployment, he allowed matters to jog on uninterrupted on the idle assertion of a subordinate that his sus picions were erroneous. There is something surely very culpable in all this, and its culpability has been fearfully signalised by the violent death of a woman and two little children. What! after suspecting that girls were toiling in his pit as " drawers," after ac tually going down to the Coppall coal-mine for the express purpose of bringing the question to a settle ment, he is satisfied with the bare denial of a man who would have been regarded as blameable had the proprietor's suspicions been verified on investigation, and w'rlo was consequently little solicitous for the prosecution of such inquiries. If Mr. HARGREAVE3, however, was only partially to blame, the conduct of his manager, JOSEPH ELLIS, merits our unmitigated reprehension. The manager, according to his own acknowledgment, was aware, notwithstanding the general disguise of male attire worn by the deceased females, that JANE HALLIWELL was the daughter of one of the colliers ; he was satisfied that she was in capacitated from employment by her sex; he even remonstrated with the father, and threatened either to prevent the child's further service, or have her examined. Notwithstanding all this, and in spite of the suspicious retort of HALLIWELL, that he would " stick his pick into any one who would attempt to examine his drawer," JOSEPH ELLIS allowed the matter to continue without investigation. For this dis creditable tardiness (to give it the mildest expression) the manager has shown himself essentially culpable; and the consequence has been the destruction of the woman and the children, and the exposure of his own negligence. The Presse announces the departure of a mission to the Emperor of MOROCCO, which prcceeds to the capital of the empire where no official personage has ever been before received, foreign envoys having always been detained at Fez or Mequinez. M. CHASTEAU, the Charge d'Affaires of France in Morocco, is at the head of this mission. General LAMORICIERE has embarked from Toulon for Algiers. He has received full instructions from the War-office for conducting the exchange of prisoners with ABD-EL•KADER, NN hich has not yet been car ried into effect. The Bey of TUNIS is to leave Paris for London in about a fortnight. One of the objects of the Bey in visiting Europe is to endeavour if possible to nego tiate a loan. The Paris "Association pour la Liberte des Echanges" held its third general meeting on Tuesday evening in the Salle Montesquieu, the Duke D'HaR 'COURT in the chair. The meeting, which was very numerous, included several of the most distinguished of the partisans of free trade of Marseilles, Lyons and other places. Very able speeches were made by the Duke D'HARCOURT, M. LEON FAUCHER, Member of the Chamber of Deputies, M. BLANQUI, and M. ORTOLAN. The newly-married Duchess DE BORDEAUX has re mitted to the Marquis DE PASTORET a sum of 10,000 f., for the relief of the sufferers from the inun dations of the Loire.

Again, considerable discredit is thrown upon the ability of the fireman to discharge his duties properly. Still, despite the fact of his having been engaged until recently as a weaver, and hence being totally untutored as the fireman of a coal mine, we cannot regard this im putation as sufficiently substantiated. The cir cumstance which actually led to the explosion, how ever, evinces a most grievous negligence on the part of those entrusted with the supervision of the pit. According to the established custom, the fireman has to enter the mine first every morning, carrying a Davy lamp ; he has to discover that the ventilation is everywhere correct, and on finding a perfect freedom from sulphur in the atmosphere, lights a candle in each " steight," as a signal to the workmen that they can enter and commence their operations. On the morning of the explosion the deceased THOSIA s H ALIA WELL had entered his " steight" before the fire man harLexamined the state of its atmosphere, and hence, either by removing his clothes, or on igniting his candle, caused the explosion by which himself and seven others perished. It is manifest that every precaution should be taken to prevent the colliers from entering the excavations until after the atmosphere has been duly tested by the flame of the Davy lamp. Unless some stringent precautions of this nature are ren dered obligatory in the collieries these dis astrous accidents will be of continual re currence. It is frivolous to insist upon the pay ment of heavy deodands to the relatives of the suf ferers ; that would _be beginning at the wrong end with a vengeance. No; all possibility of such ex plosions may be prevented by proper arrangements. Let these arrangements be enforced upon the owners of coal-pits, and let the employment of women and and girls as " drawers" be rendered a severely punishable offence. STATE OF TRADE.—LANCASHIEE, Nov. 26. The demand for cotton goods at Blackburn is limited, and manufacturers are obtaining scarcely any profits, but, in many instances, some descriptions of manufac tured goods aro sold at less than prime cost. The yarn market is very dull, stocks continue to augment, and prices, in some instances, are rather lower. The calico block printing at Accrington, Church Parish, and Col ne, is very dull, and operatives have not half employment. The trade in the cotton mills at Oldham, Royton, Shaw, and vicinities is rather better, and this week several occu piers of factories have given notice to commence work ing full time again on Monday next. The batting branch at Stockport, Hyde, and Oldham is un usually flat, and many hat-body makers are totally destitute of work. The woollen cloth trade at Sad dleworth is dull at present. The flannel and coarse woollen trades at Bury, Rochdale, Bacup, and vici nities is not brisk. The operatives in th e same districts employed in cott on mills, are principally work. ing full time, but manufacturers make loud complaints of the smallness of profits. The silk smallware trade at Manchester and the neighbourhood is exceedingly flit, and at many mills hands are only partially employed. - ed in the ad The recent catastrophes which have almost simul taneously occurred in the coal-mines at Oldbury and Coppall, have demonstrated with a dismal emphasis the necessity for some legislative interference fur the better protection of the lives of our subterranean Madrid papers of the 20th have arrived. They contain no news. The Heraldo, however, and the other organs of the Government, promise great measures of commercial reform. These pro mises are considered to be put forward merely for the purpose of influencing the elections. It may be that such is the case, but whether it be so or not we rejoice to find such promises made by the Spanish Government. If the Spanish Ministers are sincere in their promises, we shall ere long have Spain adopting the principles of free trade; if they are insincere, it is a proof that the doctrines of free trade must be popu lar in Spain, or these promises could not be supposed to produce any influence on the approaching elections. It is certain, therefore, that the seed sown by RICHARD COBDEN at Madrid, at Seville, and at Cadiz, is al ready producing its fruit, and the apostle of free trade will, ere long, have the satisfaction of number ing the great bulk of the Spanish nation among his disciples. labourers. In other circumstances the destruction The operatives employ:. iii. le cotton and worsted smae wares, at most places , are working short time.

Sales, about 7,000 bales, including 2,000 American on speculation. The sales of Cotton for the week have been 31,420 bales at Liverpool, and the stuck is 513,000 bales against 926,000 at this time last year.

" Accounts from the Rhenish province:, state that bread and potatoes had become excessively dear there, and that there was a want of water for the manufactories, owing to the unusual lowness of the Rhine and the Buhr. This offers a singular contrast to the recent inundations in France. Wood and coals were likewise very scarce, there being no less than 270 vessels, mostly charged with grain and fuel, lying to, between Dordrecht and Lobitb, owing to the shallowness of' the river. The half-monthly steamer from Halifax is now looked for, though scarcely due, and the merchants are anxiously awaiting their Indian letters. It is feared that the steamer must have been elt-tained by some ac cident. The Funds have been steady to-day, but not quite so buoyant.

BRESLAW, Nov. 20.—1 n consequence of events at Cracow, a deputation from this place is to go on the 22d to Berlin. It is composed of several of our principal merchants, and we hope that they will succeed in pre venting the ruin cf the Silesian trade with Cracow, which is very important. THE RHINE, Nov. 18.—Respecting the incorporation of the republic of Cracow vi ith Austria as a circle of Ga licia, an offensive and defensive alliance has been con cluded between the three protceting powers. It may be affirmed that Russia chiefly insisted on the incorporation. Prussia afterwards acceded to this view. If such an event were to take place, the re public of Cracow could hardly have been ceded to any power but Austria, which possessed it till 1809, and gave up the idea of re-occupying it after 1813, because it was a favourite project of Alexander to form a state in the centre of the ancient kingdom of Poland, with which the appearance of the independ ence of Poland was connected. Perhaps Alexander had greater sincerity in this step than was afterwards at tributed to it. Facts and events have opposed th e rea lisation of his views. VIENNA, afternoon and French a report spread elB.—thatYteda Englishtheser o n ,C N h o un v g . Ambas sadors at this Court had protested against the_incorpo ration of Cracow with Austria. B u t i t is evident that this must be a false report.

A protest cannot lave been made, f or L or d Ponsonby sent an ex traordinary English courier to Lond on on l y t h e d a y before yeste r d ay , and who will probably return with Lord Palmerston's answer. STOCKUOLM, Nov. General Count Bjornstjerna is not recalled from his post as ambassador in London, as has been stated, but obtained on the 27th of August, leave of a b sence for three months, beginning on the Ist of October this year, and he is now here. Meantime his place is filled by Baron Rehausen. Count Bjorst jerna's son, who was lieutenant in the body-guard, bad lately the misfortune to be run over, and was dan gerously hurt, for which reason a prize which he had gained in the military academy, has been handed by his Majesty to his father. Winter has at length began here. The day Wore yesterday all the streets were covered with snow, which, though thin still remains. We lately heard among other places, from Linkoping and Calmer, that the wea ther was so warm that the rye was beginning to form the ear, for which reason they were beginning to cut it. This will not now be necessary. VIENNA, Nov. 20. The latest Austrian Observer contains a very long article (19 columns) on the recent history of the republic of Cracow, for the explanation and justification of the incorporation which has taken place. We find in it a series of statements, as results of the several political investigations, which have been occasioned by the movements in Poland since 1830. We extract the following passages respecting the relation to the other prceecting Powers : "The result of the campaign of 1812 put the Emperor Alexander in possession of the several portions of the territory which, united into one mass, had formed the duchy of Warsaw. In consequence of this state of things, negotiations were entered into by the three Cabinets of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, the result of which was, the establishment of the present kingdom of Poland and the other incorporations concerning these territories among these was the establishment of the republic of Cracow. The three Courts inserted the regulations that had been made in the treaties of the 21st of April (13th of June, 1815), and the other Powers which had signed the act of the Vienna Congress confined themselves to accepting this reso lution, as a result of the direct negotiation between the three Courts, without interfering in the regulation of the territorial relations therein stipulated, with which they had nothing to do. Cracow, therefore, was from the year 1815, a municipal town, subject oily to the pro tection of the three powers, and was connected with the rest of Europe, merely through the mediation of its protectors. 30% 7 1 4 18% 12 % 2 3 V 69 75% 341 A 4% 161/2 22F 3 7 % 13 % P 3% 5116 58j 48 ~ 193 . . 14 3 4 . 18% 28 1 12 ......... 214 5 '4P 24 2% 25IA z 20 V, 18 - 15 15 % 104 6 1 ,4 10 1p 74 124 11,4 124 311.4 6/ COURT CIRCULAR.
