So much misconception exists as to the character of the negro that it is satisfactory to meet with any details from one who is well acquainted with his style and characteristics. As a general rule, we may be sure that those who make the most pro fessions of faith on behalf of the negro are really ignorant, or at all events partially so, of what is the actual state of the case. The letter which Sir SAMUEL BAKER has addressed to the Times on the subject is well worthy of attention, and contains much to arrest notice at this particular juncture. 'We are glad, indeed, to meet with so able an expositor of matters which interest all, and we are sure that no one can peruse this letter without being enlightened, unless they are so wilful and prejudiced that no one can convince them of their error. How true is the passage at the commencement, which states that in England there "is a general misconception of the negro, and this ignorance of his character and capa bilities has engendered a sympathy for the African race, that, arising front pure philanthropy, has degenerated into a fashionable weakness." The consequence of this misconception is that the intellectual standard of the black man is raised to that of the white one, and things are confused to such an extent that it is difficult to discern what is true from what is false. It is time, indeed, that these fallacies should be ex posed, and that those who are well acquainted with the subject should express their indignation and astonishment at the audacious way in which those who know nothing of the negro declare their opi nions. The rebellious negroes of Jamaica receive pity and sympathy, -while no sorrow whatever is expressed for the unfortunate white victims of their fury, and the opinion of the inhabitants of the colony saved from ruin is set at nought by these philanthropists, while they devote themselves to the persecution of the man who presumed to cope with them and prevent their murderous designs from being put into execution. There is much to dwell upon in th e d escriptions h ere given of the negro ; and, fi rst of all, we may note that a limit is assigned to his intellectual caps_ city, as the min d has reached the maximum of it s power at the early age of fourteen. T • hi s may account for much that is found wanting in the sub sequent career of the negro, as he does not receive impressions that may affect a more matured intellect, but remains, to all in tents and purposes, in an unfinished state as compared to a superior race. The indolence of the negro is another very noticeable fact, and may account for much that surprises the uninitiated in his course of proceeding. The negro is also fickle to an extraordinary degree, and as he is always willing to act" „upon impulse, and yield • to any powerful persuader, he becomes truly dangerous on certain occasions, and when subjected to improper influences. There is much to account for the mis chief caused in Jamaica by the addresses of seditious leaders, when we consider the statements made by one of experience. " I would engage by a single address to stir up a tribe of negroes in Africa to any act of atrocity on the impulse of the moment; but to restrain them when once aroused would be as impossible as to curb hyenas." The great danger that existed in Jamaica is here well explained—namely, that it was impos sible for the negroes to be trusted when they believe the white man to be the oppressor, because the white men are few in number. After stating that a negro outbreak is like a fire in a prairie, that anni hilates all in its path, there is no mercy, nothing but wild destruction, the writer forcibly adds that the negro is a weapon in the hands of his teacher. " If he is a creature of mad impulse, that can be directed to any purpose, the evil teacher is as re sponsible for the evil committed as the hand that directs the dagger." If these truths could sink deeper into the minds of readers surely they would be better able to appreciate the immi nent peril of the inhabitants of Jamaica at the period of the outbreak, and also the deep culpability of those who fanned the flame of rebel lion among the ignorant and perverse blacks. " What was Governor EYRE'S position" ? asks the writer of this conclusive document when he reaches this part of his discussion. It was no European outbreak that was before him, but a negro rebellion. A small white population was under his care, and " murder, fire, and annihilation assailed them." Where, then, was the time, and where the oppor tunity for stopping at trifles, and studying English jurisprudence and dwelling on " legal technicali ties," when every moment was precious, and all depended upon speed and decision of purpose. The Governor proclaimed " martial law," and the " teacher," the hand that held the dagger, GORDON, was executed. A violent disease, replies one who knows the bearings of the case, and so have all who were acquainted with the case said before him ; but how many ignorant persons have presumed to differ on the point ? One question of great import is here put—namely, what was the amount of life sacrificed compared with what would have occurred if the energetic measures alluded to had not been adopted by the Governor ? And the answer must be evident to all that months instead of days would have been occupied by the outbreak, and far greater sufferings would have been occasioned. It is simply and forcibly stated here that in times of danger and excitement, when brute force is resorted to, some acts are necessarily committed that will not bear the close scrutiny of those who investigate them from a distance some time afterwards; but such events are seldom or ever paraded before the public to " defame " a man who has done his best under trying circumstances. From his experience of negroes Sir SAMUEL BAKER declares his belief that Governor EYRE saved the white inhabitants of Jamaica by a " stern exercise of force ;" but this fact is doubted by many in England, on account of the popular belief that the negro differs in nothing but the colour of his skin, whereas the " tiger and the horse are not more widely different in their natures." Finally, the writer concludes by declaring that he should not have made these remarks if Mr. EYRE had been left entirely in the hands of the Govern ment; but, as an Englishman, he cannot help call ing for " fair-play," when he sees a portion of our countrymen "so un-English as to hit a man when he is down. The re moval of Mr. EYRE from his post was a blow that has been keenly felt by all who knew and admired his character, but the cowardly and un called-for attacks made upon him since his return to England, when every honourable spirit must have sympathised with his position, will rally around him a different class to the Guy-Fawkes burning philanthropists of Clerkenwell-green." We commend this admirable letter to the notice of all who have directed their attention to the Jamaica question, and we feel assured that they must profit by its perusal, and come to the conclu sion that great exaggeration has prevailed in many quarters respecting the negro character, and that great injustice has been done to Mr. EYRE. It is indeed necessary for such spirited indications as these to appear when such unworthy efforts are made to traduce his reputation, and made by those who should know better. Nothing is more difficult than to efface impressions wrongly received, and thus many have taken a false view of this familiar question, who, if left to themselves, would have judged very differently. It is satisfactory to notice that the Bradford Working Men's Conservative Association have adopted an address to Mr. EYRE in which they express sympathy for his position, and regret the treatment which he has received, feeling persuaded that such a course does not rightly represent the feeling of the country. A very painful case has just been made the sub ject of inquiry at Hackney, and the revelations at the inquest do not tend to redeem the character of our workhouses. Some little time ago, in reference to the outbreak of cholera, a member of the Go vernment observed that the system of local self government was on its trial. Hitherto the autho rities of the several parishes and districts have acquitted themselves with credit in many instances, deseryinghigh praise for the exertions they have made to resist the attack of the common enemy. The wide spread suffering and distress which the cholera has occasioned among the poorer classes has called forth sympathies in all directions, and warm and ready the efforts of the public officers have been so earnestly seconded by private benevolence an d personal self-sacrifice that,sks, mortality,n sickness, notwithstand ing th e vast amount of ic and distress, there has hitherto been no room or ill-usage. The case of neglect b fo r r our c r h h a t r u g nd es er investigation at Hackney is the first in which the cholera has played a prominent part ; and the whole affair, though no doubt much re gretted by all parties, is a very painful one. It seems from the evidence that the deceased, a little old, wa s was and boy o t the e s evea doctor years who calleadtt to a c k s e c e l e b i t y e a h t o 0 1 e n r c a e , gave an order for its admission to the work house or the German hospital, having, he ex plained, inserted these words because he had heard that cholera cases were to be sent there. The house from which the poor child was brought was quite bare of furniture or comforts, as the in spector had moved out the family on account of cholera infection. The doctor was therefore anxious, he said, to get the child into either workhouse or hospital without any delay. When the child got to the workhouse the matron would not admit it, and said it was to go to the German Hospital. The assistant doctor, a youth of 18, endeavoured to persuade the authorities to admit the child, and finding this remonstrance was useless, sent to Mr. SUMMERS, his superior, who came and wrote an order for the child's immediate admis sion, which was likewise ineffectual. The end of it was, after various delays, the Master came and sent the child off to the German Hospital, after it had been waiting half-an-hour in the porch. The fvr the poor rest of the story is soon told, THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.— ' Solo Lessee and Manager, Mr. F. B. CHATTERTON.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1866. little thing died next morning, having in all human probability forfeited his chance of life by the delay and exposure. Under the circumstances the jury could hardly have done otherwise than return a ver dict to the effect "that the child died from the mortal effects of cholera, and that his death was accele rated by the detention of the deceased in the work house gateway, and by his removal to the German Hospital, through an error in judgment of the Master of the Hackney Workhouse." " Errors in judgment" seem to be growing com mon, and are allowed to plead in extenuation of a good many disasters. The public, however, would be more inclined to excuse an error in judgment with which personal feeling and petty irritation had less to do. Mr. DrascoLL, the master, confessed that he was " confirmed in the determination which the other circumstances led him to form by the offensive manner of Mr. OXLEY to the matron." What had that to do with the question at issue, which was surely the best means to adopt to relieve the sick child ? The evidence of the head nurse and the porter corroborated the statement of the matron's refusal to admit the child, and also the account of the doctor's remonstrances being effectual. The nurse said to the matron that the child was very bad, and ought to be removed into the iron ward. Accord ing to the woman's statement, Mrs. DRISCOLL said, " I am the matron, and I know what I am about." Mr. OXLEY said, " Then you are not going to take him into the iron house ?" and Mrs. DRISCOLL re plied, " Certainly not ;" upon which Mr. OXLEY went for Dr. SUMMERS. Dr. SUMMERS came, and asked for pen and ink, and wrote an order for the child's immediate admission. The matron took it and placed it on the form, saying she would give it to the master, who would do as he pleased, but that " he had always been master, and would continue to be so." After this we cannot see that Mr. HUMPHREYS' objection to the employment of Mr. OXLEY as as sistant, on account of his youth, has much weight, since when the elder Doctor wrote an order, and said the child was very ill, his remonstrances were totally disregarded. " The medical arrangements," said the Coroner, " were alarmingly defective. No medical man resided in the house even during cholera times." Very true ; and this is not the grievance under discussion. If there had been a dozen physicians in the house they would not have done much good to the sick child so long as it was kept outside. Why was it not admitted ? The Master's excuse was his fear of admitting cholera within the walls ; but there is ample ground for believing that petty jealousy and desire for autho rity had a good deal to do with it, especially as it appeared that there were already some cases of cholera under treatment in the iron house. With the differences between the master and the doctors, between the matron and the nurse, between the porter and the gatesman, we have nothing to do ; but the neglect of a child dying of a terrible disease is too startling to be passed over with impunity. The jury might very well have attached to their verdict some reproof to the matron, who appears to have been much more concerned in keeping up her own and her husband's dignity than in attending to the common dictates of humanity. "It was a grievous thing," said the nurse, "to see the child suffer ;" but the matron does not appear to have been at all impressed. We have good right to doubt whether such a very unimpressible lady is a fit per son to superintend " 600 or 700 persons, nearly all old persons and children." We cannot believe that the Poor-Law Board will allow the matter to rest here, but that they will prove that they exercise something more than a nominal supervision over the administration of our Poor-law, by calling upon the guardians to entrust the superintendence of their establishment to persons less liable to " errors in judgment," and more remarkable for their com mon humanity. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROSI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Paws, Tuesday Evening. The important manifesto of the policy of the French Government published in the Moniteur yes terday, which, immediately on the publication of that paper, was transmitted to London by telegraph, is the all-absorbing topic. Go where you will it is spoken of in terms of satisfaction and approbation. Your readers will probably have observed that a fortnight ago I mentioned that such a document was about to be issued. In spite of the conclusion of of peace between Austria and Prussia there was an uneasy sensation in the public mind, and all sorts of rumours prevailed as to the intentions of France to extend her territory in consequence of the aggran disement of the kingdom of Prussia. This docu ment disposes of these foolish rumours, and tran quillises the public feeling. The Paris journalists always take time to consider before they give an opinion upon points of paramount interest, and so they make only a few passing remarks to-day, but they are in enthusiastic approval of the enlightened and pacific policy which this document announces to be the programme of the Emperor and the French Government. This manifesto is the most important of modern times. It tranquillises France and Europe, and, if I be rightly informed, the Marquis de la Valette, who only occupies temporarily the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs, has distinguished his position there for the moment by his advice and assistance in the preparation of this admirable and valuable State paper. If this be so, like Othello, he has " done the State some service." The political world was full of gloom and anxiety before. Now all is hopeful and satisfactory, and the Bourse, to day, has been more buoyant and contented than for a long time past. The Constitutionnel says :—" The circular of the Marquis de la Valette is the complete elucidation of a policy which, while respecting all that is noble and glorious i❑ the past, understands and foresees the future, and which has always sacrificed old resent ments and petty calculations to the interests of jus tice and civilisation. This manifesto admirably illustrates the views, at once capacious and patriotic, which inspire the Imperial Government, to which our country owes the great position which it occu pies in the world. We shall not to-day advert upon the excellent effect produced by a document in which I the part to be played by France is so nobly traced ; but each portion of the circular of the Marquis de la Valette to the diplomatic agents of the Emperor is worth a separate appreciation. This task we shall perform to-morrow."- After all it appears that Garibaldi has not sent in . his resignation, although there is little appearance that his services will be required hu in iss lt e a e ly d , lt ' of a subs cr i pt i on f or egbrts contracted by the for the present. He, howe die v e l t a h r e r p e u c r o p n o lin se e o n f di v og ay t i h n e g o t pe he ii Garibaldi Vountcers in the year 1860. In a t p his e l a e ls tte to r Garibaldi says t hat the honour of Italy is involved i n the payment of the debt, which amounts to 105,000 f., to say nothin g of the sacrifices made by those to whom it is d ue. He, therefore, p to the patriotism of the Italians. A letter from Chamouny states that a solicitor of Rouen, M. Letellier, has made the ascent of Mont Blanc. He was accompanied by two English gen tlemen, Messrs. Lawson and Douglas, and an American. The Journal de Nice states that a few days ago a farmer residing near that town, aged 83, was married in the presence of the mayor and the curate of the commune to a lady who has loved for eighty one summers and as many winters. After mass the happy youthful pair danced a jig in the public square of the commune. A very important decision has been given by the Court et Cassation, both as regards tenants and proprietors of houses. The court has ruled that the simple refusal of a proprietor of a house to make repairs, necessary to render an apartment habitable, is sufficient to invalidate the lease, even if there should not be any other omission in the execution of the covenants of a lease on the part of the land lord. The Parisians were beginning to despair about the weather, but there is still hope. To-day has been bright, warm, and bcautful, and the weather prophets predict that it is to be very fine for a month. A young lady of 22, Miss Sylvie Vidal, the honour of whose birthplace may be claimed by the depart ment of Lozere, has just given to the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Paris the opportunity of forming an opinion upon a very clever and artistic plan of obtaining money. Miss Vidal in the month of August last lodged at the hotel of M. Bouy, in the Rue de St. Germain, and happened from some cause or other to be a little in arrear with her rent. On the 6th of that month M. Bouy had to congratulate himself upon the termination of his anxiety in regard to it, for on that day he received a letter signed Casimir Rou viere. The letter informed M. Bony that M. Leopold, who was the lover of Miss Vidal, had " died of his wounds" at Clermont. He had, how ever, provided for the dear child. His relatives, who had mourned at the foot of his death-bed, had fully approved of the legacy he had made to the lovely and affectionate girl of 30,000 f., which had been paid into the hands of a notary on her account. The writer was too grieved to announce the news to Sylvie, but he begged M. Bony to do so gradually. At the same time he told that gentleman he should come to Paris in a few days, pay the rent which was owing by Sylvie, and at the same time, according to Leopold's dying request, bring a silk gown and a shawl to Madame Bouy. This affectionate letter excited M. Bouy very much, and had the same effect upon his wife when he showed it to her. indeed, when she came to the passage about tpe silk gown and the shawl, she shed cascades of tears. When M. Bouy announced the sad news of her lover's death to the innocent girl she was overwhelmed and thunderstruck at first ; but, collecting herself, she said if she had money she would not wait for Casimir's arrival, but she should go herself to Claremont, and bring back the shawl and gown for M. Bouy's dear wife. M. Bouy immediately cut short the difficulty, and not only lent Sylvie a I,ooof. bank-note, but insisted upon her making temporary use of a gold watch and chain, in order that she might look " respect able." A few days after Sylvie's departure it came to the knowledge of M. Bouy that her supposed lover, Leopold, was in perfect health, and that the letter from Claremont was imagined, and written by Sylvie herself. This fact was admitted to the president of the Court by that young lady, who said that she should not have written it if M. Bony had not " bothered" her for the money due to him, and she was compelled to get cash somehow. She, however, could not think of returning him more than 500 f., for she had laid out 500 f. for various articles on his account, including 120 f. for a hand some wooden leg (M. Bouy has but one leg), and the rest for the silk gown and shawl for his wife, and her own fare to Claremont to see her dead lover. Miss Sylvie was sentenced to imprisonment for 13 months and a fine of 50f. Protection against the Banks. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

ATTILIO CERNUSCIII. 3, Great St. Helen's, E.C., Sept. 18, 1866. The Metropolitan Water Supply. The Metropolitan Water Supply Association has prepared the following petition to Parliament for an improved water supply : The humble petition of the undersigned water con sumers, ratepayers, or inhabitants within the limits of the Metropolitan Water Companies, humbly shewoth, that your petitioners would desire to draw the attention of your right honourable house to the present inefficient supply of water as provided by the various metropolitan water companies. That since the passing of the Act of 1852, your petitioners are aware that the quality of the water supplied to the metropolis has considerably im• proved, but that stringent measures are required in respect to the quantity which ought to be supplied to every house in this vast metropolis. That your petitioners would desire to impress on your right honourable house the urgent necessity for the water companies being compelled to afford a constant instead of an intermittent supply to every house in the metropolis, and that such supply should be given on Sundays as well as on other days. That your petitioners believe your right honourable house would hardly credit the startling fact that in the metropolis there are thousands of houses which have not a drop of water in their cisterns or water-butts on the Sunday morning, it having been consumed the previous evening, or wasted in consequence of the inferior character of these cisterns and water-butts, and that in innumerable instances, owing to the general tendency to avoid expense, there are neither ball-cocks nor waste-pipes to prevent an unnecessary waste of water. That your petitioners would beg to represent to your right honourable house that in all the large cities throughout the vast continent of America, as well as in Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Glasgovc, Greenock, &c., the inhabitants have a constant, not au in termittent, supply laid on in their houses, which is at all times available for sanitary purposes, and a hich is most extensivaly used in this way. That your petitioners would also beg to represent to your right honourable house the inequality of the rates as at present levied by the metropo litan water companies, the same rate being levied whether the house is occupied by one person or by many families. Your petitioners would therefore pray that your right hon ourable house would take such measures as it may deem proper for a reduction in the existing rates. That your petitioners would further represent to your right honour able house, that by clause 27, cap. 84, of the Act of 1852, being 'An Act to make better provision respecting the supply of Water to the Metropolis,' parish officers, with consent of V estry, may require inhabitants to procure supply of water, and that the companies should furnish an annual supply at a rate not exceeding 3d. per week, but your petitioners would represent that such clause is vir tually a dead letter. Your petitioners therefore pray your right honourable house to take such steps as in its wisdom may seem best for immediately placing the supply of water to the metropolis on a better footing in respect to quality and quantity, and a reduction in the scale of rates as at present levied." EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF EXTRADITION.—The delivery of Lamirande at Montreal to the French authorities occurred under very remarkable circumstances. He was claimed under the Extradition Treaty between Great Britain and France on the ground that ho had com mitted forgery by having "in his capacity of cashier of the Bank of France at Poictiers made false entries in the books of the bank, and thereby defrauded the bank." The Go vernor-General issued his warrant for the a pprehension of the man, and he was apprehended, and by a Canadian magistrate committed to gaol on the 22d of August. On the afternoon of the 24th a • petition for a writ of habeas corpus was presented to Mr. Justice Drummond, in cham bers, notice of the intention to present it having been served on the previous day before noon upon the counsel charged with criminal prosecutions in the district. The Judge, after hearing the prisoner's counsel, was of opinion that the arrest-.wasillegal ; but as Mr. Pominville, for the private prosecutor, wished to be heard, the judge did not issue the writ at once, but adjourned the discussion until next morn ing. Mr. Ramsay, who appeared for the Crown, expressed his indignation when the counsel for the prisoner signified his apprehension that a coup de main was in contemplation to carry off the prisoner before the case had been decided. Nevertheless, so it was. At midnight an order signed by the Deputy-Sheriff, grounded upon an instrument signed by the Governor-General and dated the 23d, was presented to tho gaoler, and the prisoner was delivered to the French inspector of police and carried off to France. Tho Judge issued the habeas corpus in the morning, but the man was gone. The Judge then adjourned the case to enable him to consult the other Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, and on the 30th of August stated that they all agreed with him that the delivery of Lamirando to the French police was contrary to the law of the land. The Judge held that the offence stated was not forgery (and therefore not within the Extradition Treaty and the statute founded upon it) according to the laws of England and Lower Canada ; that there was no p roo f of a warrant of arrest i ssue d by a com petent magistr a t e i n France, and that the deman d was ma d e by the Consul-G eneral of France, a commercial agent, and not a diplomati c agent, stated that the G overnor-General had prom i se d th a t th ere A tunnel 1,681 his case deckled as required by the statute.

It is re ported that it was decided that the general elections should be adjourned for one month as new levies are being made, and recruiting is prohibited by law within 60 days of the elections. The Chambers will also probably be prorogued till the financial and banking law now under discussion in the Senate, and which will most likely pass the third reading to-day, is adopted by by both Chambers. On Monday an elderly man, apparently between 60 and 70, threw himself from the column of the Bastille, and falling on the tarpaulin stretched at the base ment of the column to protect the workmen employed in repairs rolled thence to the ground, without re ceiving any apparent injury. Lie instantly scrambled on his legs, picked up his cap, and was deliberately walking off, when the guardians politely requested him to accompany them to a neighbouring guard house, to give BA-account of his sensations de voyage. Two brothers, named Gamouel, were tried at Prevas a few days ago for attempting to murder a man named Riffard under peculiar circumstances. Riffard had accidentally killed their father whilst he was plundering an orchard, and the filial sentiments of the brothers impelled them to take vengeance on him. They shot him with a pistol, but the wound did not prove fatal. The court acquitted the younger brother, but sentenced the elder to two years' imprisonment. A melancholy incident occurred the evening before last during the performance at the Opera-Comique. A lady, the wife of a merchant in the Rue de Clery, was seated in one of the upper boxes, when she was suddenly taken ill, and although taken to the cor ridor and seated at an open window in the hope that the fresh air might revive her, she presently became quite insensible and expired about an hour after. The cause of her death is supposed to been been an aneurism. The deceased lady had not com plained of any indisposition during the day. A lad aged 13 was killed yesterday by falling from the scaffolding of a house in course of construction near the Champ de Mars. BOURSE, Sept. 18.—Two o'clock.—The market has fallen back into the inanimate state which has been the prevailing characteristic lately, now that the half-monthly liquidation has been completed.

The following details have been received here relative to the late fighting between the Allies and the Paraguayans : The Paraguayans had been gradually opening trenches, and surrounding the allied camp with forti fications which would have enfiladed the flank of the army, rendering the position untenable, when Marshal Polydoro Jordao took command of the Ist corps of the Brazilian army on the sth July. He immediately detected the disastrous consequences which would follow the completion of the works; and after a council of war it was resolved to attack and carry the enemy's position on the following day. At daybreak on the 16th the attack commenced, and the nearest trenches were taken by the 4th division of the Brazilian army under Brigadier- General William H. de Souza. The Paraguayans, however, fought hard, and returned to retake the position with strong reinforcements, but were re pulsed and driven back in disorder. The fire lasted all day and through part of the night-16 consecu tive hours. On the next day, 17th, there was but little firing, but on the 18th the attack was renewed, and the third line of fortifications carried by the 6th divi sion. The general of this dixigicn, however, directed the attack very imprudently, and the losses of the Brazilians were very heavy. Marshal Polydoro immediately fortified, in an inverse sense, the positions conquered, and thus rendered the camp much more secure and less sub ject to bombardment. He has also opened com munications between the fleet and the new positions by making a road through the woods, not more than two miles across separating naval and military forces, whereas by water the distance was nine leagues. The commissariat and the hospitals have also been placed on a far better footing. General Porto Allegre had arrived with the 2d corps, 9,000 strong, and horses and mules for the cavalry and artillery were also rapidly arriving at the camp. News is now daily expected of a great and decisive battle. The losses of the allies on the IGth and 18th July were 2,500 men hors de combat, the proportion of officers being very large, as the Paraguayans under cover of the woods picked them off with a cool aim. Colonel Pallejas Flores' intimate friend and corn panion was among the killed. The:weather at the South has been very boisterous, and two Brazilian transports have been totally wrecked, the Oyapock at the mouth of the River Plate, and the J. T. Roman, near St. Catherine. No lives were lost. STATE OP TRADE. MANCHESTER, Sept. 18.—For shipping yarns the market has been very disappointing to-day. There have been plenty of orders in the market, and a large business would have been done if spinners had been more moderate as to the advances in prices which they were encouraged to demand. The high prices asked have in a great measure checked busi ness, but spinners willing to accept Saturday's rates have been able to do a fair amount. A return of wet weather, with a telegram from India speaking of the failure of a Parsee merchant there of good standing, caused the market to close rather quiet. The market for home trade yarns was stronger in the early part of the day, and prices were fd. per lb. dearer than on last Tue3day, but subsequently this branch of the market also became quieter. The cloth-market, which was more active yesterday with strengthening prices, has been further improved to-day, as far as values go, by the movement in the Liverpool cotton market. Manufacturers have been induced to in crease their quotations for nearly all kinds of cloth, but at these advanced rates buyers show little wil lingness to continue their operations. Although all quotations are necessarily higher through dearer cotton and yarn, they are rendered purely nominal by the complete absence of business. The increased activity was caused by the temptation offered by the low prices of cloth as compared with the price of material more than by any increase of demand, and, of course, was likely to disappear when the induce ment was withdrawn. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of to-day's cloth market :—"At the close of last week buyers were more willing to operate, and a fair business was done at last Tuesday's rates. The recent movement in Liverpool, and consequent ad vance in the price of cop yarns, necessitate higher quotations for goods ; but as buyers show no dispo sition to follow this advance, operations are sus pended, and too little has been done to enable us to alter our estimates of actual values." CARDIFF, 17th.—There was an active demand for steam coal, and the briskness which has for so long a time characterised the foreign trade is well Main tained, while the tonnage exported to the mail ser vice stations is larger than for the corresponding period of last year. Quotations have an upward tendency. The local consumption of house coal has slightly increased, and the coasting demand is toler ably good. The iron trade of the district has been characterised by a slight improvement, although in actual orders received from the markets generally there is no material change. Of the large order for rails on Indian account which was lately in the mar ket, 7,500 tons have been secure by this district, while the other 10,000 tons have gone to Monmouth shire houses. Buyers on home account are purchas ing rather sparingly, and it is not expectel that transactions to any extent will be entered into until after the close of the present month. The contracts in hand for the North American and Baltic markets are being pushed forward, so as to secure their de livery this season. Oriers from America came in, if anything, a little more freely, and it is stated that the requirements of the States and Canada are of rather a heavy character. The adviccs from the East are more encouraging, and on Continental account there is every indication of a good business being done in the course of time. In pig iron the demand is flat. Tin plates are in moderate request, and quotations are well maintained. Arrangements have been made to start the Treforest Works, which have been at a standstill for some years. LEEDS, 18th.—The cloth-hall markets have not been numerously attended this morning. The tone of trade, however, was steady, and late pries for all seasonable goods were fully maintained. So far as the purchase of autumn and winter goods is con cerned, the merchants are not doing much, the bulk of the trade for the season being nearly over. Still a few parcels of heavy fabrics were purchased to-day, and these, with the sale of ordinary cloths, both all wool and unions, with a fair amount of tweeds— many of the latter for ladies' wear—made the ag gregrate sales of the day quite as great as could be ex pected. The local wool trade is steady, and prices arc firm. Some of the wool purchased at the cur rent colonial sales in the metropolis has already gone into use in the hands of manufacturers. The quality is generally spoken of as being quite as good as that purchased at the previous sales, if not better. NOTTINGHAM, 18TH.--The attendance at our ex change-hall to-day was fair. There was a firmer tone in the demand for lace yarns, and prices were quite as high as last week. For hosiery yarns there was a tolerable inquiry, and the currencies of last Friday were generally quoted. In silks, business was steadily transacted at unaltered rates. Brown nets realise.l last week's prices. ROCHDALE, 1 7m.---Though the time is fast ap proaching for the wholesale houses to lay in stocks of flannels for winter, the demand for the heavy and common kinds is far from being brisk. In the finer kinds, plain as well as printed, there is a fair amount of business doing ; and, though the attend ance of buyers to-day was not large, the market was cheerful, and the goods sold and ordered were to as great an extent as could be expected. The manufacturers are steadily employed, and the trade presents a good prospect for the closing months of the year. Prices of all kinds of flannels are firm. The Yorkshire goods trade keeps quiet, and the de mand does not at all increase. There is no change in prices. Wools are purchased steadily, at late quotations. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TENBURY. I The report of the directors states that the line has been worked during the past half-year with regu larity and without accident of any kind. They re commended that a dividend for the past half-year at the rate of £2 10s. per cent. per annum be paid to the shareholders out of the rent payable on June 30 last by the lessees of the line.

Power to make a line of railway from Worcester to Tenbury had received the sanction of Parliament, and the directors could only hope that when carried out it night not mate rially injure the Worcester traffic of this company.
