Lim., 16 it LABOR.—Horace Greeley, who has recently made a long journey through the Western States, says in regard to the employment of laborers :—" We could hear of no dearth of employment anywhere. We doubt that there are one thousand men looking for manual labor in the two States of Wisconsin and Minnesota, which together have about one million inhabitants. An average mechanic re ceives in Central Minnesota the price of three bushels of wheat or fifteen bushelslpf potatoes for a day's work ; a common laborer is paid the price of two bushels of wheat or ton bushels of potatoes ; and there is work for moremen than can be had.

A large and influential meeting was held at Man chester ox Friday evening, in aid of St. Bernard's Roman Catholic Reformatory. The chair was taken by Mr. D. LEE ; and among those present were some of the leading Roman Catholic families in the county, and the Roman Catholic Bishops of Salford, Birmingham, Nottingham, Shrewsbury, and Northampton. The Chairman was supported on his right by Dr. Manning, the recently-elected Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, who had promised to deliver an address on the reforma tory system. The CHAIRMAN delivered a short speech, at the close of which he introduced Dr. Manning to the meeting. Dr. MANNING was received with much enthu siasm, the audience rising. He said the sole motive which had induced him to undertake the task of speaking in this city, where the subject of Reformatories was so thoroughly understood, was to render some assistance to the Refor matory of Mount St. Bernard's. The subject was one which, if not exhausted, had, at least, been treated by those whose life had been spent in the charitable administration of the justice of the country, such as Lord Brougham and others, including those who had ex ercised the office of chaplains in our great country gaols. Therefore, it would be imprudent to attempt to treat a subject—on which he could speak only superficially—in one of the greatest centres of in " telligence and industry in England, whither he could never come without feeling a deep impression in the enlightened and civilised discharge of the duties, both private and public, and the people of this city. Having visited the Reformatory of St. Bernard's two or three times since the late Cardinal Wiseman's inability to discharge the duties of visitor, he (Dr. Manning) was intimately acquainted with its condition, which was now greatly improved He was happy to be able, at the outset, to refer to a very candid and temperate pamphlet, the report of a Committee appointed by the Visiting Justices in Manchester. In this report was a remark, to correct which he was sure would be an act accept able to those gentlemen whb framed the statement. In it was stated that the disposal of the boys of Mount St. Bernard's, and the reformatory con dition of that institution, were, as might be an ticipated, in a less satisfactory state. In answer to this, he (Dr. Manning) was happy to say that the details upon which that statement was founded re lated to the period before 1863, and not to the ad ministration of those zealous and charitable gentle men who now had the direction of the institution. (Hear.) He might further say that since 1863 the remark made in the Report would not be found ap plicable either to the disposal of the boys or to the reformatory operation of the institution. Now, he might turn immediately to the subject. In a pam phlet written by Lord Brougham some ten years ago, he found a statement which appeared to contain the substance of this question. His lordship said, "All writers upon the subject of penal laws have laid it down at the outset of their tractates that the only end of punishment is to teach others by example and to prevent the criminal himself from repeating his offence ; but I go a step further, and ask what right have we, even in the case of perpetual imprisonment, to leave the criminal unreformed." It would seem to him (Dr. Manning) that the comment of the noble lord might have been carried further. By the teach ing others by example should be understood also vindication of justice, teaching that penal evil and moral evil were linked together, that an offence com mitted against right was an offence committed against a supreme legislator, that that supreme law was the will of God, that the will of God was the conserva tive order of society, or that peace is, as we were told, the tranquillity of order, and that he who violated it violated the moral law of right - upon which human society was founded, and so offended against the I founder of that society, God himself. (Ap plause.) The teaching by example must neces sarily include all this. The first end, therefore, of the administration of justice, was undoubtedly to teach by example, or rather the vindication of justice, next the protection of society, for society should be protected from the wrongs that were committed against it, and to protect society from corruption. If moral evil was a corruption which spread by infection, it was clear that in the execu tion of that primary duty of self-defeiice, society was bound to amputate the festering limb and protect itself from the corruption which threatened its life. (Applause.) But, further, the end of the adminstration of justice included the reformation of the offender. - All administration of justice in the form of punishment contained this principle, that the subject of that punishment ought to be con,. templated by the legislator and the judge as the object of compassion and mercy, and that even in capital punishment, the State was bound to temper that judgment with mercy, and to provide for that criminal all that could be required for his good. (Applause.) Human legislators and human judges would act unjustly if they were to cut off natural life without, at the same time, providing the means of preserving the spiritual and eternal life of the condemned. This principle ran through the whole administration of justice. Thank God, that both the Legislation and the public opinion of this country had become illuminated and purified in the last twenty years to such an extent that the recurrence of what he was about to relate was now impossible. Still within the memory of the youngest in the assembly before him in Norfolk Island, the penal colony of our penal colonies—in the year 1834, took place a most solemn and terrific judgment. 130 convicts conspired to murder their guards, and by that means to obtain liberty. They were discovered by the revelation of some of their accomplices. Of the 130 men, about 50 turned evidence against their companions, about 50 were put on trial, which re sulted in ,the condemnation of thirty to capital punishment. When these were condemned, one man of singular intelligence, who had conducted the cross-examination of witnesses against him with great skill and promptness, begged, with tears and lamentations, that he might not die without first seeing his priest. Another of the condemned men appealed to the corruption which prevailed among convicts as a ground for mercy. Eventually, the Judge was so impressed that he took upon himself to reprieve the condemned men until he could re ceive instructions from the Home Government. In the end, 11 of the menrwere condemned to die ; those of them who were Protestants had the assist ance of clergymen sent to them specially, and those who professed the Catholic faith received the spi ritual consolation of the Rev. Mr Ullathorne, vicar general, and now the Bishop of Birmingham, who sat on the platform. (Applause.) Penal administra tion of justice, not tempered by the mercy which provided for the reformation of the criminal, espe cially in case of capital punishment, was a violation of justice, human and divine. He extended the principle he had just laid down to the case of those who, though not condemned to capital punishment, were subjected to prolonged imprisonment, and he affirmed that it was a violation of justice, human and divine, to imprison any man not having free access to his pastor. (Hear, hear.) lie was thankful to know that from the •statute-book of England the iniquity had been lately expunged, and that now a man could have the privilege which was before denied him. This principle he held to be safe, and, in touching it, he must refer again to Norfolk Island, because so recently as 20 years ago the principle was not recognised as it now was. In 1845 or '46, the late Duke of Richmond, one of the most benevolent and zealous of our public men in matters relating to penal discipline, put into his (Dr. Manning's) hands a written report given to him by a person whom he (the Duke of Richmond) had recommended for appointment in Norfolk Island, a very superior person, who had been for many years in the Penton prison In reading that report, he (Dr. Man ning) sickened, for it was such a narrative of hor rors, such a history of abominations, including attempts to murder, to poison food, and other things as he had never before gen. He put that report in the hands of the Colonial Minister of the day. What passed he (Dr. Manning) knew not, but he quoted it only for this reason let us never hear the condition of the prisons in foreign countries. spoken of as justifying the pretext for revolution, The principle, then, to which he had brought them was this, that the administration of justice required that any man imprisoned ought to have the means of reformation, and that the means of reformation could only be provided by giving him a free mini stration of his own religion. (Applause.) An attempt to reform a Catholic prisoner except through the Catholic faith and holy sacraments was an absur dity, and more. (Applause.) He knew that it was a principle of human law volenti non fit injuria, and it might be said that the poor who entered willingly after application into the workhouse was not injured, but it was a principle of Christian morals that esurient quam maxime fit injuria. If a man and his family came under the pinch of hunger, his only way of getting bread for them was to accept that form of compulsory relief, and it was doing him an enormous wrong to incarcerate him in a workhouse and not to give him free access to his religion, and his pastor free access to his children. He quite ad mitted the principle that if a man voluntarily ac cepted the legal relief, knowing that he was to be deprived of that spiritual blessing, no legal wrong was committed ; but he was not arguing upon legal wrongs, but that which was beneath them—moral and Christian wrongs. (Hear, hear.) The con duct of Liverpool, Preston, Manchester, and other parts of Lancashire, was a luminous example to the whole of England. The magistracy of that county had, in the face of the whole coun try, exhibited an enlightened and civilised ad ministration of justice, and he rejoiced to have that opportunity of offering his thanks for it. He was bound to my, also, that the Govern ment had set an example in some of its at ministrators— especially Sir George Grey and Colonel Henderson—which nothing could exceed for fairness and and equity to all questions in which the Roman Catholics were concerned. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that the spirit and the principles which directed Lancashire would be followed by other counties. What he had said about the reformation of adults applied a thousand times more cogently to children, and ten thousand times more so to the poor children in reformatories. It was a maxim qui non habet patrem populi est flies, and he maintained that the State was invested with the duty of taking care of those children not only in their temporal but in their spiritual condition. Every child that contra vened the public law became the ward of the state, not so much for punishment as for reformation. Our Saxon forefathers venerated childhood more than we, and punished parents for the offences of their children. The principle which dictated that law should direct us now. Before they w ere punished, children should be taught what was right and what was wrong ; and unless the administration of public justice was tempered with mercy he feared that it would have little real effect. He hoped we had merged from that period when the iron hand of the law came down on a man without offering him the means of repentance, and that we had come to see that it was not only better and safer, but that it was cheaper, to reform our criminals than merely to punish them. The late Mr. Clay, of Preston, had stated that the estimated amount of annual depredations in Liverpool was £700,000, and in 1853 the Times calculated that every pick pocket sent to Holloway prison cost the pay of a curate. In 1856, Mr. Murray, of Dublin, estimated the cost of the administration of justice at 3i millions. He (Dr. Manning) should like to put as a parallel the amount of money spent in education and reformation. Mr. Rushton, of Liverpool, stated to a committee of the House of Lords in 1847 that 14 boys were arrested and tried for certain offences ; 10 were transported and cost Liverpool £1,400, whereas 77 boys placed in the asylum at Warwick cost £1,200, and 40 were re claimed. The reformatory schools of this country were now costing the country £66,000 annually ; towards this the parents paid £2,000, and £lO,OOO was contributed by charitable people. The money which had been spent D n the children in reforma tories to which the £66,000 related was dispropor tionately small compared with that which had been lavished on our prison system. (Cheers.) We had passed, he hoped, from inflicting penalties without seeking for the reformation of criminals, and had entered into what he might call a penitential sys tem tempered by mercy. (Hear, hear.) He was glad to see that the Roman Catholics, who num bered only one-twentieth of the whole population, had promptly taken advantage of the Refoimatory and Industrial Schools Act, so that they now pos sessed one-eighth of the reformatory schools and one-tenth of the industrial schools in the country. (Cheers.) He was glad also to find that of the 12 largest reformatories six belonged to the Roman Catholics. This was evidence that at any rate they had been doing their work like men. (Hear, hear.) I He strongly denounced the system of punishing children who had never heen taught the difference between right and wrong ; but, on the other hand, he would not say that hunger would perfectly justify stealing. Certain jurists, casuists, and moral writers laid it down that hunger would justify many acts which he had not and would not describe, because he had the terror of those well-fed theological controversialists who, whether he was right or wrong, would misrepresent what he said. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) His experience in the reformatory at Hammersmith had confirmed the observation of Lord Brougham, " the first offence wisely treated became the last offence." He was glad to find that parents were being made respon sible to the State for the support of their children, and he hoped that the suggestion of Mr. Sydney Turner would be made law, and that parents would become chargeable on the first term. Cases were continually occurring, and one, in which eight young heroes had become generally known through the country had just occurred, which proved that education ought to precede punishment, and that punishment ought to be tempered with great mercy towards those who had not been so educated. (Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding the great efforts that had been made during the last twenty years to promote education, he feared they had failed to accomplish that moral change which they had a right to expect—to form the religious conscience of the people. State education alone would never suffice, but there was one system sufficient, and it would be sufficient whether helped by the State or not. It was the true education and culti vation of the conscience and heart by the faith and by the church. The conviction forced upon him by the observation of the last 25 years was that a general system of State education in England was not only morally impossible, but would be morally unjust and morally ruinous to the Christianity of England. (Applause.) The only form of education which was just and morally possible, and which would make the English people Christian, was a sys tem of free, independent, denominational education, in which every body of Christians in the land should receive from the State, which was of mixed religion, from a Legislature of mixed religion, from revenues raised from mixed religion, a proportionate assist ance to their voluntary efforts. (Applause.) This he said more gladly in Manchester, because he knew that this was the principle which had guided the people, and especially the public men, of this city, and that they had stood forward, at all times, to vindicate the perfect independence and freedom of every religious body in this country, and to protest against all attempts to interfere with the religious convictions of those who were sincerely convinced of their own faith. (Applause., In conclusion, he had only to say that the condition of poor children was the most urgent work to be done. It w as said that the majority of the children of the working classes were neither at work nor at schoo l, and that of the their parents schooling of these if children they t the would; majority an d hceo hadlld. .pay .f heard,for Society"—(applause)— which namedthtahte there Amiodstseeexiecteyllent. insititution "Education was a ems,heiscehithlevaws aishheidhsGtitoudtisepeeefeduNividitehdaflelrhtlisiehaeiadret, be without interfering with conscientious belief. (Ap plause.) He heard one singular remark in respect of reformatory schools. It had been said that the aver age of those reformatory children who were recom mitted after leaving the schools was larger in the case of Catholic institutions than of Protestant. Mr. Sydney Turner had made that assertion, and he believed it was correct. Why was this the case ? Because the Catholics had not the means of finding employment for their poor children after they came out of the reformatory school. Catholic tradesmen and employers were few and poor, because Protestant employers and tradesmen possessed the wealth of this commercial country, and because there were so many Protestant reformatory schools, though small in the aggregate number in agricultural districts, surrounded by those who were ready to take the boys when they left those institutions. (Continued applause.) On the motion of Bishop TURNER, of Salford, seconded by Bishop ULLATHORNE, of Birmingham, a vote of thanks was passed to Dr. Manning for his address.--Sir R. GERARD, Bart., proposed a reso lution acknowledging the benefits of the reforma tory system, and pledging the meeting to sup port it.—The Rev. G. NLTGENT, of Liverpool, seconded the resolution, which was passed.—ln pro posing a vote of thanks to Mr. Lee for presiding, Archbishop MANNING acknowledged the large amount of good which Mr. Lee had rendered to the Roman Catholic cause in Manchester.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that business generally has been steady. At Manchester both cloths and yarns at one time were depressed, but a slight recovery has taken place. The operations, however, have been on a very limited scale. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has been rather dull as usual at this season of the year, while at Leicester and Nottingham the hosiery and lace trades have not exhibited any material change. In the hard ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton no material alteration has taken place. The Port-Philip Company's advices show the fol- lowing return for the month of August :--4,787 tons of quartz crushed, yield per ton, 9 dwts. 10 grs., and realized a profit of £4,011 ss. 11d., Of which thirteen twentieths belong to the company. The returns for September, which will comprise 6 weeks returns, gives for the first 4 weeks 4,604 tons with an average yield of 10 dwts. 5 grs. per ton. A re mittance of £2,000 has been received. The Norstadt Zeitung of Vienna states, on what it believes to be good authority, that the loan to be raised by the Austrian Government will be issued directly to the public, without intermediation of any banker. The capital will be 150 million florins (375 millions of francs) ; the rate of emission 62 ; the interest 6 per cent., free from taxation, and the whole to be reimbursed in 15 years. M.

At its perigree it would be white, chang ing to blue as it moved away, and becoming white ag ain at the apogee. To illustrate his view, he finds an analogy in the whistle of a locomotive. " Here," he says, "as you approach the sound its impulses reach you more frequently than if its source and you were at rest. At the instant of passing you receive the normal number of impulses, and after passing the impulses reach you less frequently. The shrill shriek, the real tone, and the low roar in this case are facts which I suppose to ho parallel to the red, the white, and the blue light of a s tar moving swiftly , first toward, and then from us."

The demand for• wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled quiet, and in some instances a decline in prices of is per quarter took place. Good and fine malting barley was very firm at fully late rates. Other kinds of spring corn, including flour, supported pre vious quotations. On the Continent the wheat trade is steady at full prices, and spring corn fully supports previous quotations. At New York flour has commanded more attention on higher terms, but the trade for wheat is slow at barely late rates.' Fresh up to our market to-day a small supply of wheat was received from Essex and Kent. The condition of the produce was very middling. The trade for good and fine dry samples ruled, on the whole, steady ; and last Monday's currency was supported. As regards inferior and damp produce, the trade was in a most inactive state ; neverthless, the prices realised; although a drooping ten dency was decidedly apparent, were without quotable change from this day annight The supply of foreign wheat on sale was only mode rate. There was a want of animation in the trade, and the amount of business transacted was somewhat restricted• In prices, as compared with Monday last, no quotable change took place. Floating cargoes, both of wheat and spring corn, moved off steadily at full quotations. The market was somewhat more freely supplied with English barley, and the show of fresh produce was mode rate. Malting parcels of good and fine quality were scarce, and changed hands at quite late rates ; otherwise, the bar ley trade was steady at last Monday's currency. The malt trade was firm, and the late advance in prices was well supported. _ Oats were in good supply, but the samples on offer al- most entirely represented foreign produce. The trade was quieter than on Friday last, and in some instances prices declined 6d per quarter. The few beans of English growth on offer changed hands at fully late rates. Peas were firm, at the extreme prices of Monday last. The show of samples on offer was limited. There was a moderate demand for flower, at late prices. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASURE.

Generally speaking, the beef trade was quiet ; yet, in some instances, prices were a shade higher than on Mon day last. Prime Scots and crosses sold at 5s 4d per 81b. A few very superior animals produced 5s 6d per 81b. Many very useful beasts sold at 5s to 5s 2d per 81b. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts of beasts were moderate. The inspectors of the market seized 17 beasts from For farshire suffering from disease. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton, we received 1,800 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 900 various lbreeds ; from Scotland, 117 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 800 oxen, cows, and heifers. With all breeds of sheep we were moderately supplied in but middling condition. The trade ruled firm, at a further advance in the currencies of 2d per 81bs. The best Downs realsed 6s 8d to 6s 10d, and even 7s per Blbs. The top price of half-breds was Os 6d to 6s 8d per 81bs. The supply of calves was limited, and the veal trade ruled steady, at full prices, viz., from 4s 6d to 5s 6d per 81bs.

TIIE SOUTHERN STATES. In the following communication Mr. Mercer explains the reasons which induced him to spend time and money in the endeavor to introduce a large female immi gration into Washington Territory : Merchants' Hotel, New York. Monday, Oct. 23, 1865. _ _ In accordance with your request, and to satisfy many inquiring minds, I make a statement of the reasons why I have spent so much time and money in the endeavor to in troduce a large female immigration into Washington Ter ritory. About five years ago, a desire possessed me to pay , a visit to the extreme northwest portion of our country ; and I found that not only was Washington Territory blessed with a most congenial climate, free from the ex tremes of cold in winter and of heat in summer, but in all that tends to make a country rich in material resources it was highly favored. With a sufficient amount of agri cultural land to produce supplies for a million of people there was the finest and most extensive lumber region in the world. Already did she send fine ships, heavily freighted with lumber, to the ports of California, Central and South America, China, Japan, and the islands of the Pacific. The mineral wealth of the Puget Souni district, although then almost entirely undeveloped, was known to be unlimited. The coal was not of the best quality, though a good article. The fish were a source of future wealth to the territory, only equalled by the immense revenue of the New England fisheries. The pasture lands in the eastern part of the territory were very extensive, and par ticularly adapted to wool growing. Most varieties of fruits in temperate climate flourished, and the grains and grasses yielded abundantly, except corn, which will make a fair crop. _ Having thus viewed the resources of the country, I next sought a knowledge of the people. They were found to be highly intelligent and sociable, and possessed of many good qualities. Society was largely made up of young men from the Eastern States, who had been well reared and liberally educated. But on arriving at the age of man hood they saw the avenues of trade and successful business for ever closed to them ; and being energetic and ambi tious, resolved not to plod on in the beaten path, but to go forth to the Great West, and there carve out a fortune and a home for themselves. Their sisters and mothers they had left behind, and, as bachelors, they were masters of the field and the kitchen : "Neither locks had they to their doors, nor locks to their windows ; But their dwellings were open as day and the hearts of their owners ; There the richest was poor, and the poorest lived in abundance." True, there were many very interesting families in the country, but the mass of, the population was made up of the class above named. Churches and school-houses there were, but the great elevating, refining, and moralising element—true woman—was wonderfully wanting. Not that the ladies of Washington Territory were less pure or high-minded than those of any other land, but the limited number of them left the good work greater than they could perform. Young men were there fresh from the home circles and families of the East, with fond memories of prayerful mothers and watchful fathers ; yet distance and time were rapidly changing those memories and altering character. The tendency with both young and old was to forget their associations, and in a certain degree to depart from their former course of conduct. Thus beholding the country and the people, I deter mined to do all in my power to aid in the development of the material resources of the territory, and the establish ment of right principles in society. With this as the motive power, I have come among you to labor, and thus far have been quite successful in inducing the right sort of ladies to go with me to the territory. I appeal to high minded women to go into the West to aid in throwing around those who have gone before the restraints of well regulated society ; to cultivate the higher and purer facul ties of man by casting about him those refining influences that true women always carry with them; to build up happy homes, and let true sunlight shine z ound the hearth stone. It is simply a matter of duty on the part of Eastern women to go to the West, where their presence and in fluence are so much needed. Almost every family in the East is represented on the Pacific slope, and you only go to protect your brothers. I would not urge you to go did I not know that the country possessed ample resources, and will eventually be a most desirable place for residence. It is certainly some pleasure to both male or female to know that their influence is felt, and to see the effect of their good example. Those who accompany me must not expect to occupy a flower garden, or to live upon sweet perfume, but must calculate that they are going into the vineyard to labor, and that their labor will be rewarded. Wo want good men—men with willing hands and cheerful hearts also ; for the country is new and holds out induce ments to all who would seek a name, and the means of gaining an honest living. Especially do we need the manufac turer, for most of our goods are now shipped from the East, by way of Cape Horn or the Isthmus.
