Last evening a meeting of the electors of the county of Middlesex was held at the Albion Hall, Albion-road, Hammersmith. Mr. CONINGSAIn a ttended a meeting in the morning at 'the Hanover-s qua re Rooms, at which he went over most of the e s alluded to in his speech on Saturday topi last, which was reported in The Sun of Monday. Sir C. Allis took t he chair, and the room was tolerably filled with ladies and gentlemen, who received Mr. Con. erV warmly. He expressed himself in favour tinhorn ,d palmerstods foreign policy as opposed to the ° nO V,„; of Lord Malmesbury, of the admission of Jews to tarlisment,' of the Anglo-American alliance, and of the abolition of church-raies, An ELECTOR asked him if he was ready to vote for the abolition of the law of primogeniture and the law of en tail?—(Bear, hear.) Mr. CoNINGHAM—The first question is, in effect, this .—am I prepared to aboli,h the House of Lord-? (‘ That's it," . 4 Why not.?" &c.) lam ready to redress practically the evils of the law of entail by Act of Par liament, but it would be perfectly absurd for me to say I am ready to vote for that which would be, in effect, great social revolation.—(On! oh!) I cantor, in the present state of feeling and experience on this point, promise to agitate the question if returned to Parlia ment. ~;The .usual resolution of support was passed almost untininaously, and the meeting separated; but Mr. Co ninghata subsequently addressed the electors and non electors from a window in Clare-street, and at the Union Tkvern, Qseen-street. Mr. Bowling occupied the chair, and among the gen tl.caen on the platform were Lord Rubert Grosvenor, Mr. B. Osborne, and others. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by stating that their object in meeting was to take into considera tion whether the electors of Middlesex would go back to the days of despotism, or maintain the present state of things. He considered the public to be deeply indebted to Lord Robert Grosvenor for the repeal of the window tax.—(Hear, hear.) It was now the duty of the electors, more than ever to see that the Liberal cause should not be impaired. Than Mr. Osborne there was not a more liberal Member in the House of Commons, and it was was therefore most desirable that undivided support should be given to the Noble Lord and Mr. Osborne. man who was a tried friend to progress would at t.mpt to divide the Liberal interest; and he trusted that not only in the county of Middlesex, but throughout the country, all would be united at the ensuing election to support those men who would support the measures that tended most to advance the great cause of reform. The chairman then intn'duced the candidates. Lord ROBERT GROsVENOR, on rising to address the meeting, was loudly cheered. He said that after thirty years' political life he could not say that he had any new principles to enunciate—(Hear, hear)—but he was de sirous of ascertaining what were the local interests of each and every district of the county which he for the third time sought to represent.—(Hear, hear.) There was not a better district for bitn to commence in than the Hammersmith polling district, where there were a great number of registered electors, and a still greater number of non electors, the latter of whom he trusted ere long to see placed in a parallel position with those who at present held a superior position. There were rumours of a contest, but up to the p resent time he had a w p h p e y th a e t r a th il er t e im s e b s ou t l o d ra t e s not seen t r h n e o i t n h tl e iv . id a u:il m ; o b st u h t contest t : it s appearance or among his constituents.—(Hear, hear.) Re had felt it to be his duty to give the rossv Ministry ,k u pport for a time, that an appeal should not be made at an early period to the countre, but he would not c onsent to the third rending of that absurd measure the Militia Bill.—(Cheers.) The various changes of the present Administration reminded him of the popular novel " Jsphet in Search of a Father," and he should not be surprised to find a new production from the pen ot the Chancellor of the Each, qaer, imitating this title, under the designation of " A Minister in Search ot a Policy." He would have preferred seeing on the banner of the present party revision of national expenditure. — (Hear, hear.) His opinion was that all import duties that tended to encourage the smuggler ought to be at once reduced. His Lordship then urged the necessity for a total abolition ot the Excise law, the deficiency arising from which might.be met by a well-regulated system of direct taxation.—(Hear.) The people were now prepared for an extension of the elective franchise, and the tosurdity ot a property qualification for members of Parliament should ba abolished,(Cheers.) Mr. OsBORNE then rose, and was well received. He was there to vindicate his past conduct and votes. He was proud of having been returned by the middle and working classes, and democracy. He had entered Pate liament as a friend of civil and religious liberty, and bad advocated free trade; and he would appeal to the proceedings in Parliament how far he had carried out his professions.—(Hear, hear.) The present Ministry, since they got into iffice, had abandoned protectioss. and the poor man was promised a big loaf' because the Deetryites wanted the " little fishes" of office fur themselves.— (Cheers.) He had voted against the Ecclesiastical rifles Bill because he considered that the Roman Ca tholics should have civil and religious liberty as well as themelves. The Bill had only led to riots, and gutting the bowies of tho R.unan Catholics at Stockport. He had not voted for the M:ynooth grant, but had for Mr. Ward's amendment. At the conclusion of a lengthy and eloquent speech the Hoo. G2ncletnaa was loudly cheered, and a vote et thanks terminated the proceedings. TOWER HAMLErs. A meeting of electors of the district of St. George's was held last night at the St. Katherine's Dock Hotel, to hear a statement of their political principles from Mr. G. Thompson and Mr. Ayrton. The chair was occu pied by Mr. P. Crellin. Mr. THOMPSON, in the course of his speech, observed that the contest had been made to turn, not upon the merits of the political principles of himself and Mr. Ayr ton, but upon false and scandalous charges which had been bron;ht against him. Those charges had emanated chiefly from a journal in the interest of the brewers and licen,ied victuallers, which had falsely stated that he had introduced Mr. Ayrton to the borough, and which had re• sorted to the basest means to secure the return of its own nominee, Mr. Butler.—(Cheers.) For more than two ninnth a the columns of that paper had teemed with leading articl , s and communications reeking with libel, misrepresentation, and malignant falsehood, such as he had never seen t ginned , save in the most de p raved tit . T r a nsa t l antic papers. After some further obser vations with re f erence to the journal in question, Mr. Thomp s o n p rocee d e d so state, that Mr. Butler aspired to represent a constituency as decidedly dissenting as "Y In the country, and yet three days after the tri urnphant election of 1847 that gentleman wrote a letter to all intim ate f r i en d, in which he complained that his L) e ar a t t y_ the party of General Fox—had been shamefully con cluded defeat of and that they must recover themselves by the us show the Mr. °shorn() for Middlesex.

A numerous meeting of the supporters of Ur. William A. Wilkinson, the new candidate, was held last night in the Vittoria Theatre. The chair was taken by Mr. e e. The CHAIRMAN said that sixteen persons in the be rough-were be -opinion th a t they should r e - e l ect their former representatives; on the other hand, a great pro• portion of the electors being determined to have a new Member—(Cheers)—'e requisition had been p resented to Mr.' Harvey, but h e was hunted out of therepresenta finn;and almost hunted to death.—(Hear, hear.) They ' had now selscif d Mr. Wilkinson as their candidate, and 1(a - begged to introduce him to the notice of the meet : nZ"(thver%) Mr. WILXINSON came forward to address the meet ing, and was received with loud cheers. He said that seventy-two hours agO he had no notion whatever of °" ll PYing the position of a candidate. He had ima gined that when Mr. Harvey started he was pursuing a hopeless course, and that the late Members were almost certain ot being returned From that state of feeling • .he . had Wen roused on Friday evening by the gentle men who waited upon him on the resignation of Mr. Harvey, for the purpose of inducing him to come for ward as a can idate. Those gentlemen had shown him, and tbeir statements were borne out by all sub sequent investigation, that a large number of the inhabitants of the borough were dissatisfied with the present state of the representation.—(Elear, hoar) On that ground, and that ground only, he appeared before them; because he cuntessed that his opinions were nearly identical With those of the gentlemen who lately represented th, no.—(Cheerao When he found there was a large majority in the borough who were inclined : to support Mr. Harvey if he could bear the brunt of the contest, he (Mr. Wilkinson) did not think it unbecoming on his part to offer himself as a candidate to the electors for the purpose of supplying the want under which they laboured.—(Cheers.) There might be a hundred rea sons why they should think that they were not pro perly repres,tved by the late Members, but it was not necessary for him to ruler t() thew; it, was enough for him to knore that there was a desire entertained by a number of the electors that a new Member should be selected.—(hear, hear.) He del not wholly rely upon the statements of the gentlemen who called upon him, and who he had never seen before, but he had got his friends to apply for information in the highest quarter, end.the universal answer was, that dissatiefeetiou scuts with the present stat e o f the representation, , • .ths; he should go on, and that he would will the battle.—(Cheers.) He perceived that a litter from Mr. Cobden had been published, containing an opinion favourable to the late Members, but an opinion was generaly founded on the case that was put to the party whose opinion was required —(Beer, near) —and he was sure if tie had said to Mr. Cobden, here are two Members representing a large constituency, and for cer tain reasons a large portion of the constituency is dis satisfied with them. have:l a right to Put myself forward to support the interests ot the dissatisfied parties, that Mr. Cobden would have said that is the business of the electors, and not my business.—(Cheers.) If they p ut in a man that will vote as well as th e ot h ers, let th em satisfy themselvee.—(Cheere ) He would rem i nd them that it was a dangerous thing t o h ave t h e b orough re presented by two Liberal Members with whom a great number of the inhabitants of the borough wore not satis fied.—(Hear, hear.) Was there not danger, under such circumstances, that a Tory might get ie.—(Rear, hear.) Whatever might be his deficiencies, he had troide some of the sir j-cfs most interesting to the electors his particular study.—(Cheers.) He had as much know. ledge of the principles of political .conomy, and cf go vernment in general as either of the other candidates, and he was as well Tialified to represent filch censti tuente as he saw before him.—(Hear, hear.) He appear e d before them at the eleventh hour to afford them an opportunity- of returning a new member; it was a time wnenvery few candidates would have a chance of suc cess, and he believed he should have little chance of suc cess were it not for teo exertions of the gentlemen who bad suAported Mr. Harvey.—(Cheers.) He must ex press his regret at the course that had been pursued in reference to the.: gentleman by the opposite side.— (Hear, beer.) Ile d:d not think it was fair or manly to Puleitai a- public opponent with private slander,— (Cheers) If a similar attempt were made against him he should laugh it to scorn.—(Cheers.) H© was con scious that he was there in the discharge of his duty, and he would not succumb to any one.—(Cheers , ) Mr. GILEs moved a resolution to the effect that the meetirg bad heard Mr. Wiikinson's address with satis faction, and pledged themselves to use their endeavours so secure his return at the forthcoming election. — (Cheers) The opponents of Mr. Harvey had not only attacked him, but they could not let his wife alone; he had been hunted dower, and his opponents had obtained a victory. Mr. REDFERN seconded the resolution. Mr. ROBERTSON, after making various ineff-?etual efforts to address the meeting, moved, as an amendment, that the reasons given for introducing a new candidate were insufficient. Mr. Mooax addressed the meeting in support of Mr. Wilkinson. s - _ - The mover of the amendment was then expelled from the meeting, and the origins resolution was carried with acclamation.

The passages quoted by my adversaries do not embody my opinions, but those only of Robert Owen, and they are extracteo, almost in his own words, from a Summary of his Social System.

The fuoiry itan t t a h s e , financial year and quarter Revenue ending returns t he 5 th July ar eT of a, very sa ti s factory character , affording the most c o nclu s i ve ev idence of the general welfa r e and prosperity. It is tru e that there is a falling off i n th e ordinary sources of revenue , both on the year and quarter, but these are immediately explained by the reductions that have already taken place in the stamp duties and the taxes on light and air, while the alterations in those on sugar and timber have produced no perceptible effect, or at least have not led to the Customs' receipts. We may reasonably anticipate, too that these favourable indications will be continued for some time. Thanks to the gold discoveries in California and Australis, we have at lating medium adequate to the wants and • • exigencies o f the country. The industrial machine is therefore continued in motion. Men able and willing to work are tolerably certain of obtaining employment at fair wage s, and being through it enabled to provide for themselves and families the humble comforts which should always be within their reach. And as, after all, the working man is the chief contributor to the national exchequer, whenever he is well off and in constant remunerative occupation, the effects become speedily perceptible in the increased produce of the national taxation. I n the Customs we find that there is an improve ment on the year and quarter —on the former of 296,7021., and on the latter of 183,9461., and this notwithstanding the reductions on the sugar and tira ber duties, already referred to. There has also been a smaller quantity of corn im ported, in consequence of the abundant harvest of last year, w hi c h nearly supplied the home markets w i t h the home pro duce. The improvement on the other items is, therefore, the more remarkable, and a new illustration i s afforded of the almost miraculous elas ticity of the national resources. In the Excise there is a diminution on the year of 13,205/., but an increase on the quarter of 23,7061. The former wa y partly be accounted for by the fact that lar g e arrears of hop duties were collected in the former year which could not fairly be considered as parts of the ordinary annual revenue. There is, however, nothing to abate the gratification which arises at the improvement on the quarter, of what has been most justly termed " the index to th e Prosperity of the working classes,"—an improvement the more remarkable when we consider that the cor responding quarter of last year included the two first months of the Exhibition, and the month preceding that event, when the greatest activity was required for the necess ar y preparations. • In Stamps there has been a decrease on the year of y 31 7 1389 1., but an increase on the q uarter of 101,3341 . It must be borne in mind that after , the Stamp Act of 1850 received the R o yal assent, the several distrie butor3 suffered their stocks to run very low in order to take full advantage of the remission. The conse quence was that the quarters ending the 10th October, 1 1850, and the sth ;Tannery, .1851, were exceedingly productive. There must have been great activity in trade and commerce to account for the very large improvement on the last quarter. I n the Assessed Taxes t here is of course a lar g e falling off on both periods. it was estimated that the substitution of the house -duty for the window tax would occasion a loss to the revenue of two thirds of the rece i p ts , or, in " round numbers, about 1,200 ) 00 0/. This estimate proved more than usually accurate, as we find the falling off on the year to be 1,172,9791,1 while that on the quarter—which, how ever, in this instance, ; m ay be regarded as the --half year—is, 5 41,524/. It will thus be seen that the compensating principle is already in operation, and we hav e no doubt that when the bouses now building are assessed to the duty, the loss will ba very consi siderably reduced. In the Prothe re is an improvement on pe t -taxv the year of - r - ' • • h 10,4851. Ttits le t 8 wore aatigactory; as for aocee time past we here had ‘ to notice - a steady reduction in the proceeds of this impost, which is the index to the prosperity of the middle classes, as the Excise is to that of the working-men. The tide is at length turned, slowly enough in the first instance, but it is beginning to run more rapidly as the increase of no less than 80,1101. a quarter will testify. Should a more equitable apportionment be sanctioned by the new Parliament, so as to remove the deep sense of injustice that induces many persons to evade the impost, we have no doubt that the flood will flow very rapidly in the right direction. The Post-office still flourishes, thanks to the care and attention of ROWLAND HILL and the judicious improvements introduced under his auspices. The increase on the year is no less than 150,0001., and that notwithstanding the additional facilities that are almost daily brought into operation. There is a falling off on the quarter of 10,0001., but we must recollect that the preceding period was that in which the opening of the Exhibition occurred, and that the extraordinary correspondence thereby occa sioned led to a very considerable augmentation of this branch of the revenue. In tip Crown Lands there is an increase on the year of 70,0001., and on the quarter of 30,0001., and on Miscel laneous of 140 6151. on the year, and 110,9481. on the quarter. Of the extraordinary items, we find that there is, under the head of Imprest and other Mouess, a decrease of 60,3921., but an improvement of 72 9181. nn the quarter; while the Repayment of Advances were so much more punctually rendered as to exhibit an increase of 1 48,640/, on theyear, and of 93,2431. on the quarter. Oa the whole, the results are very decisive as to the benefits of free trade, affording the greatest encouragement to a further advance in the same direction. The General Election may be said to have at length fairly commenced. This day not merely thirty-three, but actually fifty-one, places are opened to candidates for their nomination. Several of these places, moreover, are of peculiar and, some of them , of extraordinary importance. Conspicuous, of course, amongst these constituencies are the metropolitan, and at the bead of these is, of course, the con stituency of the city of London. By the proceed ings taking place this afternoon in the Guildhall of the capital the majority of the Liberal electors throughout the country will in a great measure be influenced. Of the happy result of these proceedings to the cause of reform there can be no sort of doubt whatever. Nevertheless, we cannot but fear that, with all their recent activity, the free trade possessors of the franchise have not sufficiently well reflected upon the importance of the result of the present elections to the interests of the nation at large both in the mother country and in her vast colonial possessions. We speak here in reference not only to the electors of the metropolis, but to the whole body o f electors throughout the United Kingdom. 'With a considerable proportion of the multitude we conceive that it has not been borne clearly enough in mind that the consequences of the present struggle are likely to affect for good or evil the general institutions of Great Britain, not only for a while, but through a protracted futurity, not merely in reference to the existing, but in regard to many future generations. Such, no doubt, must invariably be the case, more or less assuredly, upon every simil ar occasion=but never has it been more so than at the present moment when the question submitted to the country is extended from the triumph of either Whigs or Tories to the victory of Reform or of Retrogression. That, in fact, as we have before now intimated, is the problem remaining to be solved by the community through the medium of the new Parliament. Unfortunately for the Liberal interest, the antagonists of reform possess the advantage always accruing to those who chance to be in office at the period of a dissolution: Unfortunately we say, because it would be absurd to doubt that the circumstance of Lord DERBY being at the head of the Government at this juncture, will mate rially improve the position of his supporters on pre senting themselves to the population. Inasmuch as the opponents of the popular interests are in power at this moment, it is indisputable, therefore, that they possess an advantage over the Reformers generally, but more especially over the adherents of the late Administration. Yet, in spite of this, we feel not less firmly assured of the ulterior success of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Whatever doubts may be entertained upon this head will at any rate, we rejoice to think, be by no means of long continuance. Within a com paratively brief interval the uncertainty of affairs will be definitively removed. It will then be per ceived whether the people of these islands are prepared to forego the blessings of the course opened to them by the principal statesmen of England, who by their genius and their patriotism have, during the last quarter of a century, guided the operations of the British Government. . _ Foremost among these distinguished Adminis trators, both in genius and in patriotism, without one moment's doubt, the Right Honourable Baronet, who has presented himself to the electors of Carlisle in his capacity as one Of the most illustrious of the Liberal candidates. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, by his many great Parliamentary achievements during the interval above specified, has earned for himself not merely the respect of all earnest Reformers, b u t has entitled himself in a peculi ar degree also to look for their gratitude and their ad miration. His name has appeared conspicuously upon all those memorable occasions where improvements have been introduced into the machinery of the Constitution. In 1827 he helped to repeal the Test and Corporation Acts —thereby conducing in a re markable man ne r to the extension of freedom to the municipalities. In 1829—as he has nobly and con sistently done within the last three years—be took up a distinguished p os ition, in defiance of very extraor dinary obl oquy, in defence of the great principles of civil and religious liberty. In 1831 he assisted in carrying out those large measures of reform which were advocated at that time in the Upper House by . Earl GREY, and in the Lower House by Lord Joins RUSSELL. And in 1835 be again did good service to the country by advancing anew the cause of munici pal improvement. In 1842 he commenced with Sir ROBERT PEEL those admirably graduated and corns Prebensive changes in the tariff, which in 1846 were C onsummated by the crowning victory of the Free Trade principles. In short, there has been scarcely Single reform of any importance whatsoever, which has not received during the last five-and -twenty years the direct and energetic support of the Right Hon. Baronet. Upon his shoulders, moreover, has fallen the mantle of that illustrious statesman, who immeasur ably more than WALPOLE has entitled himself to be re membered i as the Great Sir R OBERT . A s the acknow reds•e. ti 6 chieftain of the asso c i a t es o f Si r R OBERT P EEL it is obvious that Sir JAMES GB,AHAM would co mmand the attenti on o f hi s f e ll o w-countrymen. Bu t , added to the credit redounding to him as the companion and political successor of the departed statel nhan, are those honourable circumstances re flecting glory upon himself personally—those cir cti,lllB, taaces which it has afforded us such peculiar satisfaction to enumerate. At one period it was con sidered that Sir JAMES GRAHAM bad acted treason sabilym. to the Reformers, in taking • office under "sit; and identifying himself with the great party o f the Conservatives. Viewing events with the calmness of a retrospective scrutiny, it is impos sible at this hour to regret the course pursued on the occasion referred to by the Right Hon. Baronet the late Member for Ripon, and now a candidate for the representation of Carlisle. It enabled him to aid more effectually than at any previous time in intro- , ducing a series of enormous improvements in the Constitution. Those improvements conducted him back by a natural path to a fellowship with his former (Liberal) associates. With them he is now more than ever identified —and Carlisle will do honour to itself by paying that tribute to his services in the cause of reform which must to him be, at this crisis, of all the most acceptable — namely, by electing him with an overwhelm ing majority as their representative. To morrow is fixed at Carlisle, as well as at fifty•eight other places, as the day of new at i o R Gladly should we anno unce th at the • r ght a l n. Baronet bad been ret urne d without op i ion. position in company with the other Liberal end` idate as we have the gratification of announcing W. -- evening that a few hours since M- , ssrs GEACH and ELLica were in - this manricr returned as-Memb ers for Covearstr Su Fist - WO ani t *l ,t 6"Totalt'fot tho city -ot Oxford, and Lord DUDLEY STUART and Sir B. HALL for Marylebone. Those six elections we regard as a propitious 'augury for the Liberal party—the news reaching us early on the first day of nomi nation. If such, however, cannot be the equally satisfactory result of the proceedings to-morrow at Carli-le, at any rate the Liberal electors there may redeem their position by returning Sir JAMES GRAHAM o❑ the polling day by a majority worthy of a candidate so distinguished. Ripidly as the days speed by, wo shall now have to notify the results of the various elections throughout the country—elections which, with every moment's maturer reflection, we regard as more and more likely to turn out advantageously to the cause of the Reformers. "FHE FRENCH. itEPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Tee Corsaire has received a notification to the fol lowing effect :—" The Minister of Police, consid-ring ;bat Article 32 of the organic law on the press of February 17, 1852, says—' After one condemnation for contravention or offence against the laws on the press, of the responsible editor of a journal, the Go vernment has the power, during the two months fol lowing that condemnati , n, to declare either its tem porary suspension or suppression'—Decrees, that the publication of the Corsaire is suspended for two months from the 4th instant." The Journal des De buts, after giving the above decree, says—" We are r-quested to state that the Corsaire will resume its publication as soon as the two months of suspension nave expired." The Corsaire is a Legitimist journal, somewhat pungent in style. It is at present under prosecution, at the suit of M. DE LA GUERONIERE, the editor at the Government organ, the Pays, for libel. The law for the definitive settlement of the budget of 1848, lately adopted by the Legislative Body and sanctioned by the Senate, is promulgated in the Moniteur of yesterday morning. Tee French fleet, which left Algiers on the 24th ult., was on the following day off Palma. On its passage it fell in with the English squadron under Admiral DUNDAS, consisting of seven sail of the line and six frigates. A smart shock of earthquake was felt at Algiers on the evening of the 29th. Some of the journals state that the Prince DE LA MOSHOWA has asked for permission to serve in the army of Africa, and that his request has been ac ceded to. _ _ The Municipal Council at its last sitting had to deliberate on the re-organization of the bands of the National Guards. Although reduced to five corps, the bands will cost 18,0001. a year more than when there were twelve legions on foot. This increase has been consented to in order to encourage the art and give assistance to artistes. The Municipal Council of Toulon has just voted an address of thanks to the PRESIDENT of the Re public for the solicitude which he has displayed in securing to that town a railway communication with Marseilles. The Chamber of Commerce has also voted an address of a similar character ; and, in addition, requests the PRINCE to visit Toulon during his approaching tour in the South of France. When the news reached Cherbourg that the Legis lative Body had adopted the Bill for forming a rail way to that town, a great number of houses, and the ships in the port, displ a y e d t h e nat i ona l flag i n to k en of rejoic i ng; and a t t h e n i ght there was a general il lumination, danci ng , an d the firing of guns. Toe Municipal Council in its last sitting voted an address of thanks to the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic, and it resolved that a bronze statue of the Emperor NAPOLEON should be erected on the Quai Napoleon. The Journal de s Deb ats states that forty-six Bishops out of the eighty- one i n F rance have signi fied their approb ition of the letter written some snort time since by the Bishop of ORLEANS, in favour of em• ploying the Greek .and Latin c l ass i cs as hand-books in education. " It may be remembered," says the Journal de Rouen, that, on June 6, th e agents of the Sate took possession of the Chateau d'Eu and its dependencies, and, in consequetce, that the sale of the furniture which was to take place the next day was prevented. We understand at present that the opposition then made to the sale bas been removed, and that the fur niture will be sold by month." auction towards the end of the The accounts from the different manufacturing districts are pretty good. A fair amount of busi ness in the different branches of silk, wool, and cot ton is said to be doing. The•harvest promises well, although there are rumours of injury having been done to the wheat by the late long-continued rains, which may be exaggerated. The vine is reported in good condition, and there is, on the whole, promise of an abundant year. The Marseilles journals state that for some days past, a vast number of funny fish, estimated at be tween four and five thousand, have been off that coast. The fishermen immediately united, and caught between 500 and 600 a day. The average weight of each fish was found to be between 30 and 401bs. The Bourse was firm, with not much business doing.
