With regard to the state of trade at Manchester Messrs. Alexander Collie and Co. report the follow ing :—The past week has brought no improvement to business here, and although the general tone is not more depressed than on this clay week, the ab sence of demand, while manufacturers are getting more nearly out of orders, has led to lower prices, Yarns having given way rather more than cloth. The apathy o f b uyers to enter i nto further contracts h as been confirmed by the lat e st C a l cu tt a t e l egram , 2 2d inst., quoting goods lower and importers weak, Probably also by the late local excitement and Par liamentary election.

ASTRAL SCIENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Having observed in " ZadkieN Almanac for 1868" that persons aro recommended to petition Parliament for an alteration in the laws which prohibit the practice of astral science in Britain, and having observed in the Queen's Speech that some legal changes are to be made during the next session, I am desirous to know whether the desired change is likely to be made or not. Reference to my " Plea for Urania," and later still, my " As trology in a Nutshell" and " Curiosities of Occult Literature" will show that my affairs have been, and are, seriously deranged by my past con nexion with the subject, and I think, as a matter of common justice, I am entitled to know from some competent person what course is to be taken. During last session I forwarded to the House of Commons a petition for inquiry through Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., consisting of 100 clauses, asking for an instalment of justice, and an examination of Commander Morrison, R.N., editor of " Zadkiel's Almanac," who calculated my na tivity in 1849.—1 am, Sir, yours obediently, London, 26th Nov., 1867. CHR. CooIE. THE LINCOLN GOLD 1111NES,CALICO ORES We extract the following from the .Atla, Cali fornia, of October 10th, 1867 :—We had an idea that the curious calico ores worked at the Lincoln Mines, and at Quail Hill, are something new under the sun, an addition to the many singularities nowhere found but iu California. We find, however, that there is just such a formation, and just such calico ores in South America. This may be important to us, as leading to some better esti mation of the practical value of what we have. The calico ore mines of Chili being in every respect similar to those we recently described as being worked in California. They have been worked by the family of Don Emanuel Portally for a century. They are located seventy-eight miles south of Santiago, Chili, and thirty miles east of Roucuaga, Provice of Santiago, western slope of Cordilleras. The mine is called Leona, and similar to the Lincoln mines and that at Quail Hill. The vein matter at the Leona mine is several hundred feet wide. It has been long exhausted above the water level, and the present workings are to a great depth below ; there is much less water than in any other mines of equal depth ; the prin cipal production is silver. Silver is also a portion of the product at Quail Hill and at Lincoln. At the lowest depth worked in the Chili mine the ore has not changed its character; the sulphurets bolo w are decomposed, as they arc above the water-level. Should this be the case in our California calico ore belt it will be a great addition to its value ; the Leona ores, like our own, are of low grade, but they mine cheaply. The yield in their rude arrastres has averaged over $3 to the ton ; the quality is without limit, and the mine has proved a source of perma nent wealth. The deposit at the Lqoua mine has an extent of two miles. We aro not advised respecting other deposits ou the extension of that mineral belt, but in Calaveras and Placer bounties the same calico ores have been found at several points; and, while many places may prove barren, there is every encouragement for prospectors to search along the whole eighty miles between the extreme points at which it has been well proved to be workable—viz., at Harpending Lincoln Gold Mines in Placer, and at Quail hill in Calveras. At this latter place the mill, now about to make its regular clean up, will soon give us exact figures as to the actu d profit of working calico ores by the present process, which, we may be assured, will be greatly improved by future experience.

The SPEAKER entered the house at 12 o'clock, but it was not, until nearly half-past that hour before a sufficient number were present to constitute a Louse. LIBEL BILL. Sir C. O'LOGIILEN moved the second reading [of this bill, which was identically the same as that ho introduced last session. Ho regretted that an opposition was to be raised against his motion, but ho was quite willing if the bill was read a second time now to postpone the committee until February next. The bill had been fully discussed in a select committee, and its principle had been assented to on a former occasion by 78 to 18. He had heard it said that certain houourabkt members opposed the clauses of the bill, because they were afraid of the press, but ho did not see much ground for that, because out of the lt; clauses composing the bib only 3 related to the pros , the rest relating entirely to the law of libel. He felt it right to say that he brought in the bill without the slightest communication with the press, but sine,' it had boon laid on the table it had received the approval of a considerable number of newspapers of all shades of opinion. One of the provisions of the bill was to extend the privilege which now existed with respect to proceedings in courts of justice to true and fair reports at public meetings published in the newspapers. There were many meetings, for instance those of joint-stock com panies, boards of guardians, and other bodies baying the power of taxation, which it was most important should become fully known. The bill effected that, and also rendered the speaker liable fur the words spoken. Another provision of the bill was to abolish the difference which now existed between libel and slander. It also made it compulsory upon persons instituting a criminal prosecution for libel against a news paper proprietor to give security for costs, supposing the suit should go against him. These were the principal points of the bill as related to newspapers, and, as he thought they were only those which as a matter of justice they ought to receive, he hoped the house would give its assent to the second reading of the bill. The effect of a postponement of the considera tion of the bill for a fortnight would only be to delay the consideration of the bill from being considered by the Houco of Lords early in February. Mr. NEWDEUAI'E opposed the motion. He said the House had met for a particular purpose, and as there was no urgency calling for the pressing forward of the bill, he objected to its second reading at that period of the session. The bill only came into the hands of members yesterday, and that was another reason why the bill should not be proceeded with at that time, because going on with it that day would be in opposition to the practice of the house, and against the spirit of the standing orders. Sir It. COLLIER said if the bill had boon limited to afford protection to reporters ho should have supported it; but it contained another important provision, which, in his opinion, would tend to restrain the freedom of discus sion at public meJtir.gs, as it proposed to 'make a speaker liable fur the words uttered to the kit= extent as he had written them. There washe thought au essential difference between and after what had taken place informer sessions; ho thought it would be bettor to postpone the consideration of the bill until it could be discussed in a full house. Sir C. O'LOGIILEN said that after the expression of that opinion by his hoe. friend he would, if the hoe. 'num ber for North Warwickshire withdrew his niutioo, defer the further consideration of the bill until the 12th of February. The ;lotion of Mr. NEWDEGATE was then by leave with drawn, and the second reading of the bill was postponed until the date mentioned. TILE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The resolution agreed to last night with respect to the granting supply for the expenses of the Abyssinian expe dition was brought up and received. COMMUTATION OF CHURCH RATES. Mr. NEWDEGATE brought iu a bill for the commuta tiou of Church Rates, which was read a first time. RATING OF MINES. Mr. P. WYNDHAM brought in a bill for the assessment of mines, which was also read a first time.; WAYS AND MEANS. Mr. lIUNT, on the part of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, stated that to-morrow in the Committee of Ways and Means his right hon. friend would make a financial statement, and move certain resolutions. The houso then adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott and a Special Jury.) BARNETT V. R 013ERTS - ASSAULTING A TENANT. This morning the further hearing of this singular case was resumed. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Joyce appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Digby Seymour, Q. U., and another learned gentleman, for the defendant. The defe►►ce, which commence,d last night, was that the conduct of the plaintiff himself induced the assault, and that his injuries were comparatively slight, but were aggravated by disease, from which he was then suffering. The learned Judge having summed up, the jury retired, and had not returned their verdict when we went to press. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.) THEATRICAL DIVORCE CASE.-.*ROWLINSON V. ROW- LINSON. This suit, which was instituted by the wife to obtain a dissolution of marriage on the ground of cruelty and adultery, and which was partly heard on Saturday, was resumed this morning. Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for the petitioner, and the respondent appeared in person. The respondent, whose only witness was examined on Saturday, entered into a long and rambling statement, in which ho denied all the allegations made against him, and declared that all the disputes alleged arose from the fact that he had discovered after his marriage that his wife had had a child by Captain Hunt, and also that he believed she still kept up a communication with him. Mr. Spink3 having replied, The learned Judge Ordinary said that the con duct of respondent in this case, as described by the petitioner, was so bad as to create a great deal of sympathy in the minds of feeling people ; he had given to him the greatest po&siblo scope, and had permitted irregularities which would not otherwise have been admitted. He had even gone so far as to allow this morning the respondent to make his statement on oath. However, after giving to the case every considera tion, he could com e t o no other determ i nat i on b ut that the responde n t b ad behaved very crue ll y to his wife, that as shown by his own letters he had endeavoured to obtain her earnings, and that the question of adultery was fully proved. Under these circumstances he should grant a decree nisi with costs. FOREIGN MINED. Chontales Gold and SilTer llininz lira., 2/ Don redio. North Del iley, 2 pm DOCKS.

S. Butler, who has for many years re presented the Tower Hamlets in conjunction with Mr. Ayrtou, has determined to offer himself for Hackney, the new division of the borough, at the nest general election. Several other gentlemen are also in the field for Hackney. For the old division of the Tower Hamlets Mr. Ayrton will again offer himself, and amongst. other gentlemen an nounced as candidates are Mr. Sanauda, M.P. for Tavistock and Mr. Edmond Beales, the President of the Reform League. In this case the bankrupt was the well-known contractor, whose failure has caused so much excite ment amongst the members of the Metropolitan Board of Works. A private meeting, held in a back room in this court some time since, has led to the appointment of a committee of inquiry at the Metropolitan Board of Works as to the truth of certain statements alleged to have been made by the bankrupt. To-day another private meeting was held, but, of course, the object did not transpire. 'The under-named War Department store vessels have returned to Woolwich laden with condemned stores from various home stations, and are re-load ing as follows :—The Alma, from Cork,• with am munition, to be replaced by the new Snider pattern ; the Earl de Grey and Ripon steamer, loading for Portsmouth ; the Marlborough, for Chatham ; the Sir George Murray, for Aldershot ; the Raglan, for Scotland ; the Inkerman, for Edinburgh ; and the Sebastopol, for Tynewouth• The Lord Panmure, having undergone the necessary repairs, was yes terday nndocked and will re-load for the west. There are also guns, carriages, platforms, slinging guns; Francis's corrugated floating iron baggage waggons, and minor stores in abundance for the Tregautle Fort, Devouport ; the western heights at Dover ; Hurst Castle, &c. The armament intended to man the new fort at Shotley Point, inside the harbour of Harwich, is also ready at Woolwich, for shipment, and consists of 14 7-ton guns with their equipment complete. THE BUTCHERS AND THE FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE. —Last evening a public meeting of butchers and salesmen was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, " to determine what steps shall be taken to prevent the arbitrary and unjust restrictions that will be inflicted on the trade by the adop tion of the proposal to compel all foreign cattle imported into London to be slaughtered in abattoirs adjoining the market." Resolutions condemnatory of the proposal were carried. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROU GII-STREE F. COFFEE-HOUSE ROBBERIES BY FRENCHMEN.— Charles Martin and Pierre Nla . aon, two Frenchmen, charged with stealing some blankets from the coffee house of Mr. Whitlock, Charlotte street, Portland place, were brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt for final examination. Mr. Albert interpreted. On the last occasion it was prov3d that the pri soners took a bed at Mr. Whitlock's, and on leaving the next morning Mr. Whitlock, observing that the prisoners were rather bulky in appearance, sent upstairs and ascertainA that the blankets were gone from the bed the prisoners had occupied, and he then went after the prisoners and caused them to be taken into custody, when the blankets were found rolled round them. Several coffee-house keepers and others stepped forward, and said they had charges to prefer against the prisoners. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked if the property stolen in any of the cases had been traced ? Police-constable Shaw, 125 E, said it had not ; but there was a person present who had a charge to make against Mason, who when taken into cus tody was wearing a coat which proved part of the stolen property. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would hear the case. Mr. Richard Oliver, master tailor, of Trevor square, Knight's-bridge, said the prisoner Mason, accompanied by another foreigner, whom he repre sented to be his brother, took a furnished apartment in his house. They afterwards came and took pos. session of the room, bringing with them a large box, and they left early in the morning, taking with them a large quantity of clothing belonging to him and his son, the clothing and materials be longing to his customers, and a quantity of materials from the shop, and they left him without a pair of trousers to go out in. On examining the box he found it to contain bricks, stones, and oyster-shells. Police-constable Shaw produced the coat which Mason was wearing when he was taken into cus tody, and Mr. Oliver identified it as one of the coats stolen from him. Mr. Tyrwhitt considered the two cases gone into sufficient, and committed the prisoners (in whose possession a number of keys, such as are used for opening drawers and cupboards, were found) for trial. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY AT THE CHAPTER-HousE.--John Smith, a labourer, was placed at the bar charged with stealing some lead from the Chapter-house, West minster. Mr. Herbert J. Poole,of the firm of Poole and sons, masons, employed in restoring the Chapter house within the close of Westminster, stated that the prisoner had been employed ou the works since last Friday. Last evening he was engaged with several others in digging a hole, across which a lead pipe run. At five o'clock the pipe was all right, but at ten minutes past five, on his again visiting the spot, he found it was shorter, and then gave directions that all the men employed should be searched as they left the premises. While this was going on witness saw the prisoner step on one side and lay down the missing piece of pipe behind some stones. He had taken it from inside his trousers. There are many hundred tons of lead about the Chapter-house, and it was necessary to make an example of dishonest labourers. Mr. Arnold—Whose iftoperty is the lead ? Prosecutor-0 ars. We are working for the Government. Mr. Arnold—l thought this, which is within the Close of Westminster, belonged by a grant of Elizabeth to the Dean and Chapter. is the Chapter house in any way reserved ? Prosecutor—The Chapter-house was given up to the Government when the Parliament was removed to St. Stephen's from there in Henry Ill.'s time. The possession of the building certainly is in the Government, although the building belongs to the Dean and Chapter. The lead by the contract is ours. Pi isoner—l know nothing about it. Mr. Arnold—You are remanded till Tuesday. THAMES. SHAMEFUL ABANDONMENT OF CHILDREN.— Catherine Robinson, alias Connor, alias O'Donnell, an Irish woman, was brought before Mr. Knox charged with deserting her two illegitimate children, Joseph aged six years, and Mary Ann aged three years, and leaving them chargeable to the parish of St. George-in-the-East. Mr. Rolston, relieving officer of St. George, said the prisoner's children had been maintained by the parish, one for three or four years, the other for about two years. She took them out of the house again, and on the Bth of Juno last a woman named M'Gill brought the children to the gate of the workhouse in a destitute condition, and sai d they were starving. The children were admitted, and had been maintained by the parish ever since. The prisoner had kept out of the way until yes terday when she was taken into custody. Mr. Win. Folio, porter and superintendent of labour, stated that the children were in a deplorable condition when they were brought to the workhouse in Juno. The prisoner said she had no questions to ask and no defence to make. Mr. Knox said the prisoner was a most unnatural and unfeeling mother to abandon her children as she had done, and put the burden of maintaining them on the ratepayers. He sentenced her to three mouths' imprisonment and hard labour. UNFOUNDED CHARGE AGAINST A SAILOR.— William Grant, a seaman, lately paid off from a ship after a long voyage, was brought up on remand before Mr. Knox charged with stabbing James Coghlan, a wharf and dock labourer, and living at No. 1, Wharton's-court, Cartwright-street, Rose mary-lane. Mr. Pelham, solicitor, defended the prisoner. The case set up for the prosecution was that the prisoner was fighting with another man in Albert street, Shad well, and that on the prosecutor separating them the prisoner struck him on the head with a knife, and he fell senseless to the ground. In cross-examination by Mr. Pel ham, the witness admitted that he had been drinking with some loose women on the day in question. He saw no knife when he was struck. lie was a cooper by trade. It was aboat two months since ho was doing any work as a cooper. Walter Palmer, 258 K, took the prisoner into custody at a house of bad repute, in Albert-street. The prosecutor was outside, bleeding very much. The prisoner was secreted behind a door, with a knife in his hand, and he said ho had been robbed of £3 15s. There was no blood on the knife he took from the prisoner. Mr. Daniel Ross, surgeon, of No. 10, Commercial place, Commercial-road, said there was a small punctured wound deep to the bone, which must have been caused by some sharp instrument. It was not a dangerous wound. In answer to a ques tion, Mr. Ross said if the prosecutor had fallen against a sharp-pointed substance it would have caused such a wound. Mr. Pelham said the prisoner was a respectable young man homeward botml, and was attacked and robbed in a street in which every house was one of a bad character. Witnesses wort) called, who fully proved the defence set up. Mr. Knox was satisfied the case for the prosecu tion was satisfactorily answered. A seaman had been ill-used and robbed of his money. lle discharged the prisoner. DESTRUCTION OF SALSION.—A large number of salmon and trout have boon poisoned in the river Plym, either it is supposed by water flowing from the mines or china clay works. Accordir g to the report of Mr. Ffennell, the Plym is the finest river in England for breeding sal mon, and the destruction of fish in such a manner as that which has just occurred is regarded as very seriously affecting the fishery. A meeting of the conservators has consequently been convened for Friday, at Tavistock, for the purpose of determining what steps should be taken iu the infttter. DISTURBANCE AT ALL SAINTS', LA.MBETII. At Southwark Po court, on Monday, Samuel Rouse, 29, clerk of Spencer-road, Stoke Newington, was charged with creating a disturbance inside All Saints' Church, Lower-marsh, Lambeth, and com mitting damage to a font to the extent of £7, the pro perty of the Rev. Dr. Lee, the incumbent. Mr. Warner Sleigh appeared to prosecute ; and r. Collette attended for the defendant. Mr. Sleigh, in opening the proceedings, said that he was instructed to prosecute the defendant for being concernA, with others, in committing a dis graceful tumult inside All Saints' Church, Lam beth, during Divine service, casting ridicule upon the ornamentation of the interior of the building, and wilfully breaking thefont. During the celebra tion of the Holy Communion at noon on Sunday, some person who received the bread, instead of eating it, placed it in his pocket. Mr. Collette her, intimated to the learned coun sel that it was not bread, but a wafer. Mr. Sleigh understood that to be so, but as soon as the person placed it in his pocket a disturbance took place. That, however, was soon quelled at the altar, but soon afterwards a number of per sons rushed to the other end of the church, and defendant was seen to push the font over and break it, committing damage to the extent of £7. He was instructed to say that when the defendant got outside the church he admitted smashing the font and gloried in haying done so. He was there fore given in charge. The learned gentleman then called— Lionel Haynes, a young man, who said he was a City clerk, and resided at No. 131, Upper Ken nington-lane. He said he was a chorister at All Saints' Church, Lower-marsh, Lambeth, and on Sunday last was there in the performance of his duties. A little after one o'clock, as witness was about to enter the vestry, he heard a disturbance near the other end of the church. He immediately took off his surplice and chasuble and put on his gown, and on proceeding towards the font he saw the defendant cutting at some flowers which deco rated a cross, and laughing at it. Mr. Burcham asked if he knocked any of the flowers off or damaged the cross?—Witness could not say whether he did, but there were some of the flowers lying about. Ile went up and spoke to the prisoner, when another man rushed at him and threatened to do him an injury. Witness, however, kept him at arm's length, and then he saw defendant take hold of the font and it fell over with a crash. Mr. Burcham asked if there was any one pushing the prisoner behind at the time ?—Witness replied that there was a crowd about him, but he distinctly saw the prisoner seize the font and push it over. Witness adde], that owing to the unseemly conduct of a gang of people they were compelled to shorte❑ the service. Mr. liurcham asked if the disturbances went on during the services ?—Witness replied in the affir mative. Near the chancel end people were jeering at the cross and the finwers surroundi►:g it. As soon as the defendant pushed the font over he hurried out of the church. Witness went and told Dr. Leo, and from what he said he pro ceeded in search of a constable. Outside the church he saw the defendant in a crowd, when he heard him say, " I have pushed the things over with a smash." He then called a constable and gave him into custody. In cross-examination by Mr. Collette, witness said that when he heard the disturbance at the font he thought he should have been able to quiet the people, but they would not keep quiet. At that time he was attacked. The defendant had a stick in one of his hands, which he used pretty freely. There was a crowd of persons surrounding him, making a jeering noise. The gas was lighted at the time owing to the fog, but he was sure that the defendant was the man who pushed the font over. Witness never asked a constable to take another wan into custody fur that offence. Frank Wynne, a merchant's clerk, residing at the Broadway, Westminster, said he was present in All Saints' Church, Lambeth, on Sunday morning, and heard a disturbance outside the altar. He under stood the prisoner had taken the consecrated wafer, and instead of placing it in his mouth put it in his pocket. After that he saw defendant, followed by about twenty others, rush towards the font. Some one among them called out, "Protestants, do your duty." As soon as they got to the font the defen dant pushed it over. Last witness then came up, and he and the defendant had a struggle together, and then the latter left the church. He did not see him given into custody. In cross-examinatfon, witness said he saw no struggle until after the font was broken, and then Mr. Haynes and witness seized hold of the defen dant, but his friends got him away, and he left the church. The defendant was the ringleader of the lot. Mr. Burcham here remarked that there was a great discrepancy between the evidence of the two witnesses. Had he any other disinterested witness ? Mr. Sleigh said there was a female in court who saw something of it. He called her to see if she could identify the defendant as the party who broke the font. On looking at him, she said that she could not identify him. Mr. Sleigh, in answer to Mr. Burcham, said he was not in a position to carry the case any further, therefore he must withdraw the charges. The defendant was then discharged. SALE OP HORSES IN PARIS. A sale of thorough-bred stock, the property of Count F. de Lagrange, took place at the French Tattersall's in Paris on Saturday last. Out of the 12 horses advertised for sale, 11 found purchasers; and Young Monarquo, who has been used for stud purposes during the last season, was bought in for £136. The highest price obtained was for Le Magician, for whom the bidding was very animated, and he ultimately was secured by Lamplugh for the Duke of Hamilton for £284, and his future career will be in the steeplechasing lino.

CdAlviPlONllll' OF THE THAMES. This Day. KELLEY AND SADLER FOR £3OO A-SIDE. The great sculle.s' race between Henry Kelley and Joseph Sadler for £6OO and the Championship of the Thames, took place this afternoon. Mr. Biffeu, the boat-builder, of Hammersmith, was referee. B.Ah Kelley and Sadler looked the picture of condition. There was a good deal of betting ; but Kelley was backed fur most money at odds varying from 6 to 7 to 4 on him. Thera were a great number of the Newcastle men present, amongst whom we noticed Chambers, the late Champion of the Thames, who bad come to witness the race between Sadler and his former conqueror. The day was one of the finest we have witnessed for some time, which caused an immense concourse of spectators to be present. THE START. Kelley having won the choice of stations took the Middlesex side, and at exactly 14 minutes to 3 o'clock a beautiful start was effected, Kelley's sculls taking the water first, and both rowed at a clipping pace, decidedly even up to off Guy's fields, where Sadler went a little wide. As they neared Craven Point they were nearly dead level. In crossing the water, with Sadler on the Surrey side, they rowed across towards the Soap Works. At this point Kelley began to get a trifle ahead, and at the upper side of the Works was leading by a quarter of a boat's length, and gained still more the futthcr they rowed. Previous to getting to Hammer smith-bridge, both being close together, a foul occurred, but the men were ordered to row on. They started again, Kelley passing under Hammer. smith-bridge ahead, when the swell of three tug boats (more disgrace to their owners) sent their surf most unmercifully at the men.
