Oa Saturday, in consequence of the reports in circulation respecting her Majesty's health, the Lord Mayor proceeded to Lord John Rus sell at Richmond, and subsequently to Windsor, where he was honoured by a personal interview with his Royal Hi g h ness P r i nce Alb er t . Hi s Lordship was then informed that her Majesty's medical advisers consider that it would be imprudent to expose her Majesty to the excitement and fatigue inseparable from her intended part in the proceedings of Tuesday; and the loyal citizens of London will, therefore, have to endure the disappointment involved in the non.appear am..e of their Queen on that occasion. Her Majesty, it appears, has been suffering from the complaint called chicken pox, hut is now pronounced by Sir Jam, - -s Clark to be conva l escent. We have authority to sta'e, that in the event of the Queen's continued indisposition, his Royal Highness Prince Albert will 1:),a present on behalf of her Ma jesty at the cps-ping of the New Coal Exchange to morrow, accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Prince ss :Loyal--an arrangement which will prevent any change in the procession on the river, or in the cA-et‘nonial afterwards.

We shall have the most august Congress of Nations. As treasure after trea sure of nature, man and art—as the gifts of creation and the tributes of the mind—here unfold themselves in endless beauty, wisdom, and variety, the inventor, the discoverer, the experimenter, the enterprising capitalist, the skilful workman, will stand a tiptoe as their praise goes round, and proudly say, " I di-1 it." All nations will be here 'to see how long and how much they have wronged themselves and each other by the jealousies of selfishness and the craft of rulers. Rival kingdoms will change antipathy into mutual respect, when they find they can do even more good than they have done harm to each other. The liberal and generous spirit of England that has first opened her ports to the products of every coun try, and then invited the competition of all man kind to her hospitable shores, will make monopoly ashamed of its meanness, and Protection of its cowar dice. States will here see that Britain seeks no exclusive privilege for herself, even on her own soil or in her colonies. The people of every country will recognise the products of their own district, admitted to the same advantages as our own. The Illinois farmer will recognise his Indian corn and wheat, admitted free to our markets, and see how he is cheated of his fair price by the manufacturers of Lowell and Pensyl vania, who cannot consume the food he raises, while they tax him cent. per cent. on his clothing. The French manufacturer will find out that he cannot compete with Manchester and Leeds, while his coal, iron, and timber are taxed for the benefit of the French miners and foresters. Our colonists will here have a medium for advertising their wares not to the mother country alone, but to the assembled world. In fact, it is impossible to overrate, as indeed it would be im practicable to enumerate, the advantages of this noble and wise institution to England and to mankind. It sheds honour upon its projectors, and we have no doubt will reflect credit upon those able and patriotic citizens who have undertaken the execution of its details.—Weekly Dispatch THE ALFRED JUBILEE. t •• 11,015,100 •• •• 2,984,900 lion 13,975,253 ,• •• 277,077 NOW PUBLISHING, J'LIZA COOK'S JOURNAL, A WEEKLY PERIODICAL, MANUFACTURES.

It m ay birth-place not b e of generally ourgood o!Saxon King Alfred ; or, that the day above written is the I,oooth anniversary of the birthday of that monarch. This being the case, it was resolved by a body of gentlemen, cultivators of Anglo Saxon literature, and proud of their Anglo• Saxon race, to celebrate the auspicious occasion by a festival or jubilee. Accord ingly, a committee was formed, and the necessary steps taken. On Wednesday the town presented, as if by magic, all the appearance of a holyday. Ihe shops were closed, except hotels and refreshment honees. The streets were decorated with banners bearing appropriate inscriptions; over the approaches were spanned triumphal arches of boughs and flowers; and at an early hour crowds of all ranks thronged towards the market place by every sort of conveyance, natural and artificial.

The best proof of the Editor's feeling will be fount in her endeavours to render 'the Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives, and without any fallacious boast, she can promise her Readers a future supply of sound and valuable matter. The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula tion and cordial reception of the Journal has boon in proving that a large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not require unhealthy excitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the mind, leas been graciously received; for, though amusement is one of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose tending to advance hamanity. From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and plea•,ure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.

The high respect and affection entertained by all classes of the cc , mmunity for his Royal llighnts4, and the interest which attaches to the first visit of the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal to the City, will AN e trust in some degree compensate for the dis appointment and regret which the news of her Ma jesty's illness cannot fail to produce. In the meantime the preparations of the citizens for giving their illustrious visitors a truly loyal recep tion continue unabated. Our advertising columns contain the regulations of the Court of Aldermen for the preservation of public order on the occasion. At Woolwich the platform made under the superinten dence of Mr. Lang for the embarkation and landing of her Majesty and the Royal Family was launched yesterday, and a railing put on each side, and the whole painted. Upwards of five miles of moor ing-chains have been laid down on the south side of the river, and about 600 fathoms more are required to complete the cordon. It would be well, consider ing the great number of persons who will be anxious to be on board the steam-vessels on the north side of the river, to issue some strict regulation as to the numbers they are permitted to take, to prevent acci dents, as the owners have, in several cases, issued bills announcing the charges they will make for permission to be on board, and overcrowding might cause the seems to be completely marred if danger became apparent, especially as the river will be at its greatest depth, a little before high water, when the procession commences, and a little after high water, when the royal party returns to Whitehall. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander Petley, and the Monkey steam-vessel, Master Com mander Bryant, are to be stationed with their heads up the river; and the Jasper steam-vessel, Mr. Point, and the Advice steam-vessel, Mr. Fogden, with their heads down the river, all opposite the Custom-house. The riggers of the dcckyard, Mr. Bellamy, and the men of the dockyard, under boat-brigade, under Mr. Newbury, boatswain of Woolwich dockyard, will man the gun-boats to guard the line of chains on the south side of the river. KETS. Divine service was performed at eleven o'clock in the church; and shortly afterwards at the town hail an address or lecture was delivered by Major Bell upon the history and tra ditions of King Alfred, with an eulogy upon his character. The Rev. Mr. C. L. Richmond, who had come from America to attend this Anglo-Saxon jubilee, also made an eloquent and energetic speech to the crowd assembled outside. After this a proces sion, consisting of the clubs and the guests, visited King Alfred's well, about a quarter of a mile off, and supposed to be on the site of the ancient stronghold or castle of the West Saxon kings. Here an address was delivered by the Rev. F. Revroux, upon the life and character of King Alfred. Meanwhile, on the common, a little outside the town, a magnificent ox was slowly and majestically turning upon an iron crate, worked by a steam engine, before a huge fire, contained in a convenient brick receptacle built for the purpose. Another old English custom was re vived in the greased Maypole, which, surmounted by a leg of mutton, the prize of the adventurous climber, towered high in the centre of the market-place. At two o'clock a distribution of meat was made in the Market-house to the poor; and half an hour after wards 100 impressions of the medal which had been struck upon the occasion were thrown among the people. The appearance of the town during all these proceedings was most lively and exhilarating; and it was as favourable a specimen as was ever seen of hearty English merriment and joyous excitement without licence or outrage. At 3 o'clock the guests assembled to dinner in the large room of the Alfred's Head Inn, Mr. C. Eyston, of Hendred-house, occupying the chair. Among the company present we observed Mr. P. Pusy, M.P.; Sir Robert Throckmorton, of Buckland-park ; \ Mr. Temple Bowdoin, Faringdon-house ; Mr. E. M. Atkins; Mr. W. Goodwin, of Lettcombe Regis; the Rev. Dr. Whittingham, of Childrey ; Mr. J. Britton, the celebrated antiquarian; Dr. Waddilove ; Mr. W. J. Evelyn, M.P. for Surrey ; Mr. Martin F. Tupper, the popular author of " Proverbial Philosophy." Several members of the Pulford, the Brereton, the Tufnell, and the Whittaker families were present, and the Rev. C. L. Richmond, from the United States sat opposite the chairman. The room was handsomely decorated with streamers and banners, amongst which were conspicuous the stars and stripes of America in friendly union with our own national emblem.

The CHAIRMAN gave " Her Majesty's health, as the successor to the throne and virtues of King Alfred," and the toast was received with prolonged cheering. The other loyal toasts were then given, and during the intervals a most pleasurable interest was excited by the production of an extraordinary relic of anti quity, which Mr. Pusey bad kindly permitted to be used upon an occasion so apposite. It was the "Pusey horn," fashioned into a stoup or drinking cup, presented by King Canute to the ancestors of Mr. Pusey. It is in fact the orginal tenure of the Pusey property, and is inalienable from it. This precious heirloom was produced, as Mr. Pusey in formed the company, in a law court, as evidence in a suit, and the court S 9 decided that it was inalienable. Price 2s. 6d.; by post, 3s.

Admission—Lower Seats, 2s. ; Gallery, Is OPENING of the NEW COAL EXCHANGE. HER MAJESTY'S VISI r. No doubt the reader would esteem it strange, If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ; And, therefore. as the Queen's to come, I'll greet her, By writing on the coals a little metre. My lyirning loyalty I cannot smother, Nor yet exchange this subject for another. The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her A very wirm reception on the river. Success, I say, to that commercial scheme Whose memorable opening forms my theme ; For, oh ! each portion of the pile is rife, With fond ideas of home and homely life, And now, shall I be quitting the sublime, By introducing Moses in my rhyme? No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control, Are nobs in trade—l don't mean knobs of coal. Moses and Son's attire is so well made That it has long en-ured a flare-up trade. Moses and Son. whose words ne'er end in smoke, Have given monopoly a timely poke ; May I not add, too, that the Coal Exchange not by any means the sole Exchange ? Moses and Son at their Depot arrange, To exchange your goods without a word's exchange ; And hence it is that s'ich a stir is made By Messrs. Moses in their flaming trade. LIST READY MADE.

THE CHOLERA.—MANCLIESTBR, OCT. 27.—1 t is gratifying to be able to state that the cholera, although not quite extinct, is rapidly disappearing from among us. A few fatal cases have occurred during the past week, principaily among young children, and chiefly from diarrhoea. Continued attention is shown by the authorities to the condition and wants of those who have been suffering from illness; but the demands on the care and skill of the medical officers are daily diminishing, and in a very short time their services will be altogether dispensed with. Reports, announcing the gradual dis appearance of the disease, have been received from nearly all the surrounding towns and villages, including Stockport, Bolton, Ashton-under-Lyne, Rochdale, Bury, Oldham, Macclesfield, and Warrington. In most or all of these places the medical officers engaged in attending to cases of cholera and diarrhcea have been relieved from thcir harassing duties, and the parochial officers are instructed to report promptly in any case that may occur. THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT CHELSEA.—At Westminster Police -court on Saturday, the whole of the witnesses against Thomas M‘Donald, Mary his wife, and Mary Fox, were bound over to prosecute the accused, who were fully committed for trial at the Central Cri minal Court for the robbery of Thomas lli`Growran or M`Guire. It is not one of the least cogent objections which the advocates of the Republican theory of Government urge against Monarchical institutions, that under these latter the peace and stability of society depend too much upon the personal character of the Sovereign. If the intelligent and influential agree on system to regard a single fallible human being with artificial severance and theatrical respect ; if those upon whom the direction of the spi: it of public opinion rests, train the ignorant and vulgar to look upon one parti cular personage of a whole nation as illustrious and entitled to command universal homage, it is above all things necessary to the success of such a pageant, that the chief actor should play up to his part, if he would save himself from being hissed; if he would keep down the cry of ' Off! off!" from the shilling gallery; if he would prevent the whole play from being damned beyond the practicability of repetition. In this age of Boy Joneses, penny-a-liners, gallery reporters of speeches and public meetings, and able editors of daily Rapers cudgelling their brains fur a subject for a leading article, a spade is sure to be called a spade by somebody. Nothing can make a man great except his being great. It is of no use that the showman writes below his picture "this is a lion," unless it be a lion. Bowing and scraping to a fool or a knave will not make the world believe either that he is wise or honest. It is no longer true of the tribunal of the world, that " Plate sin in gold, And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks." On the contrary, the inky pennon runs right through it, cuirass and stuffed doublet, notwithstanding. A man elected by the people is the people's property. By the defeated faction he is hissed all through the piece. His friends do not seek to magnify his per sonality beyond the necessities of his office, since no man is a hero to his valet de charnbre. If the electors have made a mistake, their star is stripped of his pro perties, and he is paid off on the Saturday night, as one who has failed to draw houses. But an hereditary monarch, who must be swallowed without chewing, who must be taken like a wife, for better for worse, who is not chosen by, but imposed upon a nation, and who, on that very account, to be accepted at all, must be fenced round and propped up with artificial decorations, and simulated forms of greatness, must, in this age of bulls'-eyes and gas, be able to hear inspection at the foot-lights, and to do without paint, else he will stand a poor chance of "bringing down the house." Hired claqueurs and a pit full of orders he may command, and these will help him won derfully if he have talent enough to make the people who have paid at the doors join in the " reception." But if he be but a " perrivirig-pated fellow, that tears a passion to tatters," the reviewers will at least be too many for him, and a tearing up of the benches, with an ultimate gutting of the house, is but the too probable catastrophe. The charlatan of the Tuilleries would have been safe, could the theory of his constitution have allowed of his being obscure. Nay, it might have been permitted to him to have wielded all the power he assumed, had he used it wisely, and borne his blushing honours meekly. A President may be hated, and the Republic may still stand ; but when a Monarch becomes detested, revo lution must be the end. It is not the nature of the Constitution, but the character of the Sovereign, which has annihilated the empire of Austria, shaken Naples, dethroned the Pope. The fate of Russia hangs upon the personal conduct of the Autocrat ; and the mad freaks of that crazy miscreant are doing more to crush despotic power than all the propa gandists and carbonari in Europe. The concentric solidity of our own monarchy has the same drawbacks. If Ministers are embarrassed by a wrong- headed or a depraved master, it is in vain to talk of the strength of our institutions; and as our first Magistrate, like our nobility, is the accident of an accident of hereditary de scent, our statesmen may live to seethe day when it will b 3 proved to them that that element in our system which they regard as giving it extraordinary strength, may be actually the source of its most obvious weak ness. George 111. lost us our American colonies, made Ireland rebel, and called into power the " friends of the people." The Queen's trial, and the scan dalous life of George IV., carried us to the very verge of revolution ; and had he been on the throne at the time of the fall of Louis Philippe, it is nearly certain that England, like France, would have become a Re public. It was a wise foresight which sluiced off the public excitement of the days of July into the struggle and final triumph of the Reform Bill. It was a still more prophetic spirit which suggested the repeal of the Corn-laws. But it is not too much to admit that to the personal character of the Queen is to be attributed our immunity from the convulsions which have shaken continental Europe to the founda tion of its social fabric. Prominent in the public eye, subjected to a rigidity of scrutiny from which private persons are wholly exempt, it would be uneandid to deny that the Queen has sustained that trying ordeal with entraordinary success. Nay, it would be un generous and unjust not to admit that to her blame less private life, and her prudent public conduct, society stands indebted for much of the peace and good order we enjoy, and for an example which has unquestionably been materially instrumental in elevating the standard of ostensible national morals, anl of social propriety and decorum. In a critical and difficult position it may be fairly Admitted that Prince Albert has acquitted himself with great general judgment. It his honourable to his understanding and character that his life is without scandal—that amid many temptations to frivolity and sybarite indulgence, he escapes criticism without being futile—that without drawing on him self notoriety he has never sunk to the state of a cypher—that he avoids intrigues without nihility, and can be useful without being factious. Our agricul ture is indebted to him for many valuable experiments —if he has not al ways been an entirely judicious, he has been at least a uniformly zealous patron of art. As a parent he executes the solemn trust of framing the mind and character of the heir to the throne with good sense, and in the conviction that the best sove reign is only to be fashioned out of an intelligent, a sensible, and a good man; and as a citizen and a subject, the country is indebted to him for the origi nation arid practical promotion of an object of the highest importance and the greatest value. In the centre of the world, in the metropolis of commerce, in the earth's capital of practical science and useful art, we are to enjoy the advantage of an institution worthy of the age and the nation. In the royal park is to be collected the practical result of the mind, skill, invention, enterprise, and industry of every race of mankind. The manifold works of God also are to be there, that his creatures may see that in wisdom he has made them all. It is wise in the Queen's Consort to abstain from mingling in the intrigues of party, or the troubled waters of politics. Yet it would be both unmanly and impolitic, as the father to the heir of the Crown, and as an exalted sub ject, that he should be what Napoleon called Abbe Sieyes' Chief Consul, a mere pig to be fattened out of the public trough. His high station gives him power, his relation to the Sovereign affords him opportunities of being useful to mankind ; and it must afford every subject satisfaction to see that ho is in the line of his duty, and that he has resolved to be no mere cumber some futility. He has originated and assisted in the practical execution of a noble scheme of true patriotism and genuine philanthropy. The productions of nature from every quarter of the world, and of which God alone is the all-wise and omnipotent manufacturer, will be brought together in Hyde-park to instruct and enlarge the mind of the nation, leading it from nature up to nature's artificer, and teaching all how much stranger truth and fact are than the strangest fiction. The silk worms of Italy, of China, of Spain, of Tennessee, of Australia, will here compete for praise of their wondrous manufacture. The cotton trees of Egypt, of Natal, of America, of India, will yield their tribute, and show how vegetati on p rov id es for the elegance f human life. Thibet and Anda lusia, Cashmere and the Cape, Australia and York shire, will send the tribute of their sheep and goats to show how Providence has supplied the wants of first necessity, and the useful ornaments of human grace. The Arctic circle will contribute evidence of how the winter's cold may be fenced by the furs and other peltries of Hudson's Bay, of Russia, of Iceland. The ivory of Africa and Asia, the leather of Morocco— the gold of India, of Muscovy and California—the silver of Mexico and Cornwall—the iron of Wales, Staffordshire, Scotland, and Sweden—the copper of Australia, and America and England —coal from Pennsylvania, Northumberland, New Zealand, and Sarawak—the clays of Canton, Putney, and Truro— the olive, the vine, the fig, corn, wine, and oil, spices, the hop, herb, fruit, seed, root, fish, bird, beast, creep ing thing—wherever reason can perceive a use, or skill a material, science a lesson, or enterprise a source of production, there will these nature's ministers to man's intelligence, civilization, or happiness, be brought together, reduced to order, and classi fied, to teach us at once the need we have of each other, the blessings we may all impart and exchange, the wise order of creation which every where calls into being varied gifts and diverse advan tages, which human intelligence may render as tri bute to the general sum of knowledge and felicity. There, too, the mind, not of England alone, but of man, will show how it has availed itself of these wonderful treasures of nature. The raw material will re •appear in thread, in cloth,lin the graceful vase, Yesterday (Sunday) the new regulations, with re ference to the transit of letters through the metropo lis, for places within the range of the daily mails from London, took place at the chief office in St. Martin's le-Grand. At 7 o'clock in the morning the duty commenced, at which hour the majority of the bags from the provincial post towns had arrived. The orders of the superintending president being impera tive, the men, summoned to attend by virtue of their " turn" under the old regulations, made their appear ance at the hour named ; but some who were expected to assist in the duty were not present, so that the supply of labour was scarcely equal to the demand for it. So far as our reporter could glean, there were in the office, at the time of the opening of the duty, the superintending president, two of the vice presidents, about 12 clerks, as many messengers, from 15 to 20 sorters, and other officers, making in all upwards of 40 persons, and, with constables in the hall, and sub ordinate officers, not less than 50 men were em ployed. The business proceeded in the ordinary way, the opening of the bags occupying considerable time, upwards of 600 having arrived from the chief post towns, and many others from the sub-post offices. Several of the " deputies," however, not as yet understanding the new arrangement, failed to transmit the bags, so that instructions to them, in consequence, will have to be furnished by the Post master-General, as the clerk who has the control of the " clerk book" is by such a breach of orders placed in the position of an officer who is obliged to report the said fact to the superintending officer, that the same may be forwarded to the secretary. This difficulty, however, will be easily remedied in future. As to the quantity of letters received, the number of " inland letters" was comparatively light, though the " throughout letters" from the continental parts of Europe were in considerable numbers. In consequence of the thinness of attendance, however, the officers present had sortie considerable difficulty in getting through the " duty " in time for the dispatch of the several mail trains, the hour of ",making up" the bags being given for ten A.M. In fact, it was not possible to " get off " the whole of the letters, so that the others were left until the dispatch which was to take place in the evening was got ready. The bags being made up, the office was closed until half past five o'clock. Precisely at that time the officers were in attendance for the second dispatch, and the work began shortly before six o'clock. No newspapers whatever were forwarded, even the latest editions from the pro vinces, published on the Saturday evenings, being kept in the office until this day (Monday), when they will be sent out, as usual, by the morning mails. No collection of letters was made during the day from any of the metropolitan receiving houses, nor were there any letters dispatched which might even by ac cident have been put into the chiefoffice letter boxes in the course of the day. The whole of the business was very quietlyconducted, without any manifestation of feeling of an unpleasant character, owing to the ex cellent arrangements made by Mr. Bokenham, the superintending president, and his assistants, in the control of the duty. Five omnibuses for the convey ance of the bags to the several railways, and a mail cart for the mail bags, viii the old road, to Dover, were in attendance, and the dispatch took place as the clock at St. Paul's struck the hour of S. Several spectators witnessed this first dispatch of the mails from London on the evening of the Sabbath day. Some mischievous person placed a 24-round ladder across the road within the iron railings at the back of the Post office in the way of the letter omnibuses. It is fortunate, however, that it was broken by the passing of an empty vehicle. EXPOSITION OF THE INDUSTRY OF ALL NATIONS. —MEETING AT YARMOUTH.— The Mayor of this bo rough having received a communication from the Society of Arts, announcing the intention of two gentlemen visiting Yarmouth for the purpose of laying before its inhabitants the scheme of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, for holding an exposition of the arts and manu factures of all nations, in 1851, his worship convened a meeting of the most influential inhabitants on Friday morning, in the Town-hall. The Mayor was voted to the chair, and resolutions passed approving of the pro posed exposition, thanking his Royal Highnesa for the interest ho has taken in promoting the arts and manu factures, and appointing a committee for Norwich. The proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Mayor. THE RECENT CONCEALMENT OF CHILD-BIRTH AT HORBURY.—Miss Craven, the unfortunate young lady whose recent conduct at Horbury has given rise to such distressing suspicions respecting herself and her reputed father, surrendered, under the advice of her solicitor, before the Wakefield magistrates, on Friday week. There were no examinations taken, and the proceedings were of a mere formal character. Miss Craven, with Mr. Ilighana, her solicitor, attended the court, when Mr. Hepworth, the magistrate in attendance, intimated that bail would be accepted for the appearance of the prisoner at the next assizes at York. Sureties would be required, herself in 2001. and one surety in 2001. The bail was immediately entered into, and Miss Craven loft the court leaning on her attorney's arm.--Leeds Mercury. MEL kNC HOLY SUICIDE OF A MERCILI.NT.—Mr. H. M. Waklev y held an inquest on Saturday, at the Ash bey Castle Tavern, Clerkenwell, on view of the body of Mr. James Miller, an American merchant, of No. 5, Northampton-square. It appeared that on Thursday, at one o'clock, the deceased called a lady named Bolton, who resided in the house, into his room, and showing her a bottle of prussic acid, said—" The instant I take this I shall be a dead wan." Miss Bolton endeavoured to prevent him, but he drink half a wine glassful of the deadly liquid, and instantly expired. The deceased had suffered very much from erysipelas. and dreaded a return of the disease. Verdict—Suicide during temporary insanity. " 5. That the governors of the townlands being, by virtue of their offie, guardians of the old Wantage Grammar•schoo!, be requested to become members of this committee, and that the committee be empowered to add to their numbers." The CHAIRMAN, in putting the question, eulogised the character of King Alfred as a scholar, as well as a monarch ; and after briefly adverting to his literary works and the translations he had made, observed that in no more appropriate way could they do honour to the memory of Alfred than by promoting the cause of education and knowledge. Mr. TUFPER, in proposing the toast, " The Anglo- Saxon race all over the world," observed that the feel ing which had dictated this movement was rapidly spreading, not only in this country but in India and America, and wherever Anglo-Saxons were to be found. In Liverpool and London there would shortly be meetings with the same views and objects. The Rev. C. L. RICHMOND also addressed the com pany, assuring them of the fraternal sympathies of his countrymen ; and he read letters from Mr. Abbot Lawrence, the newly-arrived Minister of the United States, and also from Colonel T. Aspinall, for thirty years Consul in London from the United States, both expressing their sympathy with the objects of the jubilee, their desire to forward a design for promoting unanimity between Anglo-Saxons all over the world, and their regret at not being able to be present at the festival. A great many original songs were sung and verses recited during the day. When the time approached at which the last up train would leave }'aringdon•road station, those of the guests who were bound for London departed, but local residents appeared disposed to somewhat prolong their festivities. And so ended the great gala day of \Vantage. STATE OP TRADE.—BIRMINGLIAM, SATURDAY.-- The trade of the town, as compared with corresponding periods of previous years, is considered generally satis factory. The factors' orders are represented to be extensive, and these, as a matter of course, lead to the more general employment of the artisans of Birmingham manufactures. The dispute which has for some time existed between the men and the master pearl-button makers is likely to be speedily adjusted. Many of the men have returned to work at the old prices, and others at slight reductions. Tbis important branch of trade at the present moment is apparently very brisk. TURKEY.--TOLERATION OF THE GOVERNMENT. — A letter from Damascus informs us that a firman was recently issued at Constantinople inviting the communi ties who do not profess Mohammedanism to cheese their own members for the Divan (municipal council). As a matter of course these elections were proceeded with accordiegly, and the elected, with the exception of one individual of the community of non-conforming Greeks, received the confirmation of the Pacha, as well as of the members of' the councils. Jews and Christians thus participate in the civil privilege.—Jewish City onicle. AN UNLUCKY NIG llT.—Lord and Lady Churchill were placed in great peril a few nights since. The Noble Lord and her Ladyship were returning from London to Cornbury House, when, passing through Blenheim-park, the postilion drove off the road, and was proceeding down a steep declivity towards the large lake in the park, when the carriage was stopped by running against eatr. a tree. But for this impediment it is probable tb vollers would all have been plunged in the lake, the night being dark, and the carriage postilion was procured from Woodstock, ° lights. Another and the rest of the journey was safely accomplished; but on reac'aing fire, home his Lordship foun d his mansion on and his neighbours and dependents busily engaged in endeavour ing to extinguish the filmes. The fire originated in the library, owing to the carelessness of a workman engaged on the premises. Fortunately, owing to the timely dis covery of the accident, very little damage occurred. ADVERTISEM ENT.] —Rheumatism effectually cure, - 1 by Holloway's Pills.—A sergeant of one of the regiments doing garrison duty in Hobart-town, had been for years a martyr to rheumatism. He was under the care of the regimental surgeons, but deriving not the least benefit from their treatment, in despair he had recourse to Holloway's Pills, and as by a miracle this invaluable medicine has been the sole means of perfectly curing him, and he now enjoys the best of health. F or o b v i ous reasons , he names of the surgeons and the regiment are withheld, but Major Walch, of Hobart town, will vouch fer the accuracy of this statement. Sold by all Vendors of Medicines, and at Professor Holloway's Esta blishment, 244, Strand, London. The preparations for giving the royal visitors a suitable reception on landing are a!so in progress, and approaching their completion. The following description of the New Coal Ex change will prove interesting : —The Exchange, which is situate at the corner of St. Mary-at-bill, faces Billingsgate Market, and has been erected after designs of Mr. J. Bunning, the City architect. The meeting place of the coal-factors and principals con nected with the coal trade consists of a spacious area or rotunda, with four galleries, connecting the dif ferent offices. The noble dome of the area rests on eight piers of elegantly-designed framework, artisti cally emblazoned in colours. The style of the build ing approximates to the Italian, with such original and unique additions as the novel mode of construct ing in iron could suggest to the inventive mind of a modern artist. Although usefulness is the chief con dition in a building of this kind, yet the fine arts have a proper place attributed to them. The lower range of piney in the cupola presents many of the most remarkable fossil remains of the coal plant, surrounded with oval frames and brilliantly coloured Raffael. esques of graceful design. The ground on which they are painted is of a fine turquoise hue, and accords well with the aerial opening above, giv ing a light and elegant character to the dome. The upper row of pilasters illustrate the manner of working the coal, and at the bottom of each are geolo gical representations of calamites found in the coal, with the botanical names inscribed below. A great number of' these extraordinary geological remains are also portrayed on the 24 pilasters supporting the dome, so that the decorations not only form a pleasing feature with regard to colour end shape, but will prove instructive and gratifying to the students of geology. The second gallery downwards contains also calamites, or fossil stems, with graceful Raffael esques and medallions, illustrating the costumes and habits of the workmen in the coal mines. In the third gallery downwards a similar style follows, with paintings of the chief coal mines in the kingdom, in cluding the " Air Shaft at Wall's-end," the "Percy Pit Main Colliery," the "Regent's Pit Colliery," " Wall's-end Colliery," &c. The other spaces of the interior are filled up with trophies arranged with the working tools of' the miners. The mode of working and handling the " black diamond" from the pit to the grate of royalty is portrayed in every stage. Above the entrance are the City arms, emblazoned in gold and colour, and the smaller dome, leading into the rotunda, is filled up with scrollwork and paint ing, harmonizing with the other parts of the building. The cost of the edifice will be about 40,0001.

THE ARCTIC EIPEDITION.—DUNDEE, OCT. 25. —(From our Correspondent.) Mr. Penny, master of the Advice (which arrived in the roadstead last night), reported that he had no information regarding the ex pedition under the command of Sir John Franklin, when up the country. The St. Andrew, Dring, of Aberdeen, was through the ice fully a month before the other whale ships; but the natives made no report to Mr. Dring until the other vessels came through the ice. --Shipping Gaulle. THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— On Friday night lust a serious and fatal accident occurred on this line, near the Saxilby station, through the carelessness and imprudence of the sufferers themselves. We under stand that about half-past six o'clock, it being dark, three labourers employed on the line were returning home from their work, walking on the railway, when they perceived the down luggage train coming in front of them. They immediately got upon the other line of rails, and almost at the same instant were run into by the up luggage train, which was behind them, and which they had not perceived. One of the men was killed on the spot, his entrails, &c., being torn completely out. Another was dreadfully cut and bruised, and is so seri ously injured that he is not likely to recover; the third man was fortunately thrown on one side by the engine, and precipitated down a bank, receiving slight injury. In the night of Thursday last a luggage-train from Doncaster smashed through the gates at the Bardney station, in consequence of their being closed, the keeper not knowing that any train would pass during the night; the shock was so violent as to throw the engine off the line. Fortunately no further damage was done, and a man was dispatched to Boston for assistance. An en gine and men wore quickly forwarded from the Boston station, and the engine, being again placed upon the line, proceeded on its journey. Oa the Saturday night previous the gates at the Langrick station were both broken to atoms by a luggage train, the gate-keeper, who resides at a considerable distance from the gate, having gone home for the night. In this instance, mnstaanncek,ifleolrd tunately, no other damage occurred. was namedßo i lo fe andertVlrairg largo family to la ht,andho has, we h a i r io i s n s: in formed, left a wife —Boston Herald, PROJECTED WESTMINSTER BRIDGE IMPROVEMENTS. —A correspendent says—" It is proposed, both for the sake of affording a better view of the new palace and diverting the great traffic of Westminster-bridge from the immediate vicinity of the Houses of commencing on o t n o re build the bridge a little farther north, the Surrey side at a spot immediately opposite the wharfs in Cannon-row, having the Board of Control for its southern boundry on the Middlesex shore. This will cause the removal of the block of houses between D . erby-street and Rich mon d- terrace, but at the same time afford sufficient space for a row of houses looking south, of a similar characer, and thus giving a handsome approach to the bridge on the north side. It will then be requisite to open Charles-street to the south of Great George-street, having an outlet into St. James's Park, and terminating with a drive leading by a curve to the Birdcage-walk. By the clearance of the houses in Charles-street an opportunity would be afforded of appropriating that space to the purpose of the depot for records, connected as it might then be with the State Paper Office, and returning along the west aide of King-street to the ground so many years lying waste in D.)wning-street, and reserved for Government officer. When these plans shall have been carried out it will be found necessary to remove the block of houses in Parliament-street north of Charles-street, and possibly at some future time the entire mass towards the Houses of Parliament. As so much of importance de pends on the selection of a proper site for the bridge, and the matter has been referred to Sir John Burgoyne, his report is looked for with no smell anxiety. —The 1 B uilder. 12s. 6d. bound in morocco, by liaiday, IONGS, BALLADS, and SACItED SONGS.
