GEORGE BUTLER'S FLUID EXTRACT OF SAR SAPARILLA, now prepared solely by WILLIAM JACK SON, is the Compound Decoction of Sarsaparilla of the Lon don Pharmacopoeia, concentrated to such a degree that a dessert spoonful diluted with a quarter of a pint of water, is precisely the same as the Compound Decoction ordered by the Royal College of Physicians. Purchasers are earnestly solicited to test by dilution the relative strength of this preparation with others sold under a similar name; and he feels assured that the superiority of the preparation made by him and his Predecessor, its purity, and the great care bestowed in the process of e in• poration, will always ensure the decided approbation and pre ference which it has received of the Mess ical Profession. W. Jackson is unwilling to refer to the invidious observations annexed (for obvious reasons) to an advertisement of a similar preparation by " an individual in the same street," but he is anxious to maintain the credit of the above justly-celebrated preparation, and to state that his concern has always been known as a Medical and Dispensing Establishment, and that " Turlington's Balsam," " Stoughton's Elizir," and other nostrums of a like character, have never been sold at his esta blishment, with his name attached thereto as the Proprietor of them.

Three weeks 'ago, a Young man of the name of Millington, of Holme Pierrepont, became suddenly missing, and fears are entertained that he mur dered. He was on the eve of marriage, and having , been at Nottingham to purchase articles for his wed ding, he called at Mrs. Richards', the Town Arms, Trent Bridge, and had a glass or two o f a l e . Mr. John Spencer, of. Adbolton, a neighbour, was there, and sat a short time drinking with him, and afterwards they parted at Mr. Spen cer's garden gate., No tidings have been heard of Millington since, although every inquiry has been made. We understand he was servant to the Rev. J. J. Cleaver, who is taking every step possible to trace out the mystery.. A mat basket which he carried has been found, and also his hat, the lining having been torn out of it, which was found at Hover ingham, on Friday morning The conviction is that. he has been robbed and thrown into the river. The daily reports about him are truly mortifying —Notts Review of yesterday. The Rev. Dr. Colts, of Trinity College, Cambridge, late Curate of Hampstead; and the Rev. T.E. Whytt, M.A., Curate of St. James's Church, Clerkenwell, have announced themselves as candidates for the rec tory of St. James's Church, Duke's-place, City, vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. rovah. The 'living is in the gift of the Lord Mayor and Corpora tion of London. SOLAR LAMP PATENT.—THE QUEEN V. I3YNNER. —ln the sittings after Trinity term last, a verdict was returned in this case adverse to the patent ; but in the Court of Queen's Bench, on Tuesday, upon the motion of the patentee ' a rule nisi was granted for a new trial of th e case.. The consequence is that until the question now raised is decided, the patent is still in force., On Thursday a most crowded meeting of this division of the Metropolitan Association .which comprises the parishes of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and St. Anne and St. Margaret, Westminster, was held in the the 'atre of the London Mechanics' nstitution, Southamp ton-buildings, Chancery-lane, _and the building, which will seat 1,100 people, was filled to overflow : there was not, in fact, standing-room. The chair was taken by Henry . Warburton, Esq., supported by the Hon. C. P. Villiers, MX., General Sir De Lacy Evans, J. L. Ricardo,'Esq., Wm. Ewart, Esq., M.P., Dr. I3owring, MP., Col. Thompson, James 'Wilson, Mr. M'Leod, Mr. Daniel, Dr. Black, Mr. Sidney Smith, and other well-known friends of the cause. The CHAIRMAN, .in opening the business of the evening, said that, in pursuance of the recommenda tion •of the Central Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law League ' .London had been divid e d i n t o s everal dis tricts,_for the purpose of promoting the success of the great cause in which he presumed all their hearts were engaged. This meeting was the meeting of the first district athe local association s i n t o w hi c h the Central League had recommended that London should he di vided ; and jn meeting them upon that occasion, he might be permitted to, congratulate them on the con ' trast which the order of that ineethigpreSented to the meetings upon the same subject .which were called some eighteen months since not many hundred yards from that place. At that .time there was no sympathy enlisted in their cause*; now thee was not a single disturber of the meeting, all were anxious that the great cause should prosper.—(Cheers.) And why had they met there ? Because they believed that they felt a great public grievance—(Cheers)— and, as Englishmen, whatever some parties might whisper in the shape of threats of prosecution, and he knew not what—(Laughter) —there they were, met to confess themselves Members of the League, liable to prosecution or not, to discuss • the rem3val of what , they said was a great public grievance.—(Cheers.) It waa for these purposes that public meetings were held, and to afford to the gentlemen interested an op portunity of stating their opinions, and of that inter course of thought by which they endeavour to spread those great principles. having Said thus much, his first business would be to call upon Mr. C. P. Villiers to move the first resolution. Mr. VILMERS was received with great cheering. This agitation was rendered necessary, and was forced upon the people by the circumstances of the country and the condition of the. Legislature.—(Cheers.) Abuses the most glaring, laws the most mischievous, were left unreformed; 'And facts the most startling, reasoning the most cogent, would be heard with in difference, unless some sign could be shown of almost approaching convulsion, springing from the anger and discontent of the community., (Cheers.) All the great measures—which it would be the shame of the country if they were still in dispute—have been ex torted from the Legislature by this means—(Hear, hear)—whether it was the abolition of slavery, the establishment of religious freedom, the enfranchise ment of our large towns, the reduction of postage, or the partial application of free trade—all had been' re- fused to calm — remonstrance or patient endurance, and had been conceded to agitation and to the difficulty of longer withholding them. However, if agitation had been justified in other matters, more especially would he say it was so in this case; for the question of free trade had, in his opinion, a more important bearing upon the permanent interests of this country than —..s any other matter that could b e , named—(Hear ) —the il ,e resistance was of a more im me diately interested cha racter than any other; and he would say that the moment was never- so appropriate, inasmuch as we were just at the end of an experience which estab lished beyond question that every thing pretending to a public character that had been urged in defence of monopoly had been proved to.he fallacious, and might almost be referred to as a detected imposture.—(Loud cheers.) If he wanted an example of the justice of thisobservation, lie would only point to the very dis tricts for whose interest especially the Corn-law was and ad r, always plead e d.

Do let th em re fl ect upon the de plorable condition in which milli ons o f t h e people are now living—congregated in den s e mass e s i n different parts of the country, excited by their sufferings, ren dered intelligent by collision, partially educated, and now having access to the same s ources o f i n f or mation as the rest of the community by means o f a p er fectly free press.—(Hear, hear.) Let them remember also that it is proved that the supply of food in this country does not keep pace with the population ; that the demand also for the products" 'of this country by other countries does not keep pace with, the productive powers of the people,;' which, by means of numbers and ingenuity, are- annually augme n ti ng —(llear)_ that the population is increasing at a rate of 100 births an hour over the: deaths, or 1,200 a day.—(Hear, hear.) .

And yet, Gentlemen, this is the question now in agi tation as to the repeal of the Corn-laws —(Hear, hear) —whether or not, with a population circumstanced as ours is, they shall be'continued.--(Hear, hear.)

You have now a Minister in Sir Robert Peel who professes to agree with you in opinion ; urge him, then, to be true to his professions. You know his creed; as he has announced ' it. He his said, justly, that commerce bet Ween nations should be carried . on as it is between individuals. He has admitted, moreover, that it is from commerce and manufactures that England derives its greatness ; and that if he was the exclusive partlian of the agricul turist, he should always tell hint that the manufac turer was his best friend. It was his (Mr. Villiers') opinion that it now depended upon the metropolis whether these laws, should be repealed.--(Applause.) He trusted that they would not be deluded by the silly notion that this was only .a manufacturer s question; and that it was only they that were inte rested in its repeal. For one, he was • bound to say that he thought that the manufacturers had been very tardy in the expre3sion of their opinioh on the sub ject, and he used constantly himself, before the League was formed, to reproach them for not speaking out more . on the subject.—(Hear.) The League was now exerting itself with a spirit and energy that was be yond all praise —(Loud cheering)—and it only required the metropolis to act in hearty unison with them for complete success.—(Cheers.) Viewing, then, the question in this general light, and impressed with the importance of meeting the exigencies of an increasing, • industrious, and commercial population, lie trusted that this great metropolis, th e sea t o f th e l iovernment, would not suffer itself to be again lulled, or deluded into apathy and indifference, but that they would now, once and for ever, call for the abOlition of all restric tions. on the trade in food.—(Lcaul cheers.) Ile con cluded by moving " That the state of trade and com merce, the rapid increase of pauperism and crime, the continued decrease in the public revenu, and the ge neral discontent of the people, are circumstances which, while they demand an instant remedy, have their ori gin in the vicious policy which has .restricted the field of national capital and industry, and which, while its advocates have recognised theeretically the right of the coin munity to buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest, has been practically continued in the new Tariff and Corn-law.' • _ Mr. RicAano seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN was about to read the resolution, when two working men, Mr. BL.tCKMORE and Mr. RIDLEY, rose with the view of moving an amendment, by way of addition, not in opposition; but being out of order in point of time, they sat down. The resolution having been put, Mr. BLACKIkIORE again rose, amidst considerable interruption, to move the amendment. For some time he was stopped by cries of " turn him out." Another working man, in the confusion, mounted the railings, when both were immediately seized by the persons round the platform, and they were unceremoniously pushed over the rails. Dr. BLACK at length came forward, and demanded a fair hearing for every man. Quiet was restored for an instant, though the dis turbance was renewed the moment DIYr. Blackmore opened his mouth. At lengh, • The CHAIRMAN said he was endeavouring to obtain a hearing for Mr. Blackmore, when another person interrupted by trying to speak himself. •He was op posed to anything like physical - force; yet he hoped there was no one who would not give the greatest moral condemnation to the gentleman who was a second time out of order. As long as the gentleman who rose first kept to the subject of the Corn-laws, and did not enter upon any thing foreign to the dis cussion of the meeting, he (the Chairman) would sit quietly and hear him. If that - person deviated he would call him to order; and would expect the assist ance of the meeting in keeping order. Mr. BLACKAIORE again mounted the platform, and said that he did not mean to ,:peak against the reso lution. He differed from the gentleman who had ad dressed them as to the mode in which these monopo lies could be overcome. He did trust that every one would unite in upsetting a Government which was supported by so many monopOlies, and that they would upset the Government by the use of the very . means recommended in the circular issued to the meeting.—(" Where's your nurse ?" a Turn him out," " Socialists," and other cries.) , The amend- . ment he would propose would be to the effect—that. seeing all classes of Reformers united for the support of the contest carried on by Mr. Joseph Sturge for the redress of other grievances, this meeting would send a delegate to the meeting about to be held at Birmingham on the 27th of December, to assist in opposing all monopolies. The CHAIRMAN asked the meeting whether this was not an amendment utterly foreign to the subject of discussion that evening, which was limited to mono polies of corn or other articles of consumption—(Cries of " Yes, yes")—and then declared that the amend ment was disorderly, and could not be put.—The original question was then put and carried, amidst confusion. Mr. EWART then rose to move the second resolu- tion, It consisted of three parts. It declared, in substance, first, that the Government of this country would not repeal. the Corn-laws ; secondly, that the Legislature of this country would not repeal the Corn laws, unless, thirdly, the people compelled them to repeal. the - Corn-laws. Whether the. Government were Whig or Tory, unless full expression were given to he will of the p eo pl e , th e Gov,erninent would not repeal the Corn-la ws . Wh o wou ld h ave b e li eve d, when the doctrine of free trade fell, from the expiring lips of the Whig Administration, that Sir Robert Peel would have stood forward as their personal represen tative ?—(Cheers and laughter.) He had tardily adopted the principle as he had done on Catholic emancipation, waiting till he was won over by the determination of the people. He (Mr. Ewart) would ask; therefore, whether it was or was not right, as a mere matter of expediency, to continue the agitation? Whether the Ministry were Whig or Tory, from the the. Ministry they could expect nothing, unless they continued unceasing constitutional agitation. If such were the only means of producing conviction in the Government, could they succeed any ,better, except by the use of similar means, with the legislative body ? If the Ministers would not give them free trade, let him ask whether the Legislature would? The advo cates for free trade had not only to oppose the heavy artillery of the old country gentlethen,.but the lighter forces of the legislators who had been distinguished as the "white waistcoats?' it was with legislators such as these that the voice of reason was thrown away, unless it were confirmed by the unanimous voice of the people. It was to obtain this support that the Anti-Corn law League was proceeding by giving lectures and information to the people, backed by a 50,0001. purse, to pierce the sevenfold shield of the aristo cracy, and attach the labouring classes. Already the landlords were beginning to doubt whether the Corn laws were really a benefit to them- 7 -they doubted whether agriculture could exist without manufactures. Already the farmers were asking for long leases, and were tQlling the landlords that property has its duties as well as its rights; and, finally, the labouring agri cultural classes in the country were penetrating the mist, and were discovering that they could not b be nefited by the obstructions of commerce and manu factures, and by the interference with the labour of the people. Was it, not obvious, therefore, that they could expect nothing from either, except through their own exertions ? As the French proverb declared, " Aide toi, et le Dieu Caldera." Unless the Legislature and the Government were impressed sensibly by the dis contented, they would do nothing. They had, how ever, heard it declared from the Bench by a British Judge—from that Bench whence nothing unconstitu tional should flow—that English Men ought not .to meet for the purpose of discussing their rights and interests. They had, however, the right so to meet, and they_ would continue to exercise it.—(Cheers.) He knew of no Chief Baron of old who would have proMulgated such doctrines as to the right of free discussion, except Chief Baron Minos or R.hada manthus—(Loud cheers)-- 1 -whose decrees were so in exorable that it was in vain for any individual to struggle against them. They would, however, exercise this right ; and if they had no such right, English men would see whether they could not,establish it for themselves, even at the sacrifice of their lives, before they would willingly leave such a degrading inherit ance to their posterity.—(Cheers.) These were the constitutional principles on which their ancestors had resisted every obstacle to the right of free discussion, and that right their descendants would maintain. What was left to them upon this important question, except to agitate the people of thiS country, to impress upon them the conviction which almost universally, prevails in the commercial classes, and to extend as far as they could the growing concurrence of the ag ricultural community ?, For hiinself, he did not de spair of producing a conviction on the agriculturists,. partly because many would be convinced by reason, and partly because nothing tended so much to weary an unjust domination as the exercise of the power of ceaseless agitation by those engaged against it in 4e fence of a just cause.—(Cheers.) The system of A. striction was detrimental to all, and rejoiced to see the principle of freedom extending, not only here, - but in America, which was about to shake off the shackles which - an unwise legislation hid 'placed upon her, and to reject a system which had bound her in coin mercial slavery.—(Cheers.) was rejoiced to I know that whilst we were struggling in our own be, half, we were struggling also for the whole world. —(Cheers.) With the feeling, therefore, that the Government and the Legislature would do nothing un less the people spoke with an imperative voice; and that on the exertion of the people must rest the re peal of the Corn-laws, he would sum up by moving —" That as no reliance can be placed on the wisdom or patriotism of the Government or of the Legisla ture for relieving the country from its difficulties, the intelligence and moral feeling of the people must be appealed to as the means of inducing the powers of the State to deal equal justice to all ranks of her Ma jesty's subjects," Sir DE LACY EVANS seconded the resolution. He congratulated them upon their present meeting, he looked upon it as a good commencement of the cam paign, and as a good reason for strenuous exertion. Mr. RUFFY RIDLEY cordially supported the reso lution—(Hear, hear)—and would only move a rider. His rider was, that the only means of obtaining jus tice was by the enactment of the People's Charter— (Oh, oh ! and hisses)—which would repeal the Corn laws, give trade and commeree. to . our country, and restore the happiness of its people. Mr. BLACKMORE rose to second the amendment. The CHAIRMAN said they.were not met to consider what alteration in the form of Government would se cure freedom of trade, and he ruled that the rider was but of order. MY:SPUR declared that if be thought the discus sion Was to be limited to one side, he would never attend a meeting. At the same time he must say that he never saw in any meeting of working men, such conduct as had taken place that night.—(" Oh, oh," and hisses, "Go home," and " Groans.") The Anti-CornLlaw League appeared to him to be like the man who offered to remove the mote out of his brother's eye. The final object of the Anti-Corn-law League was professed to be the improvement of the condition of the working men of the country, but what sort of moral principle was that which did not rest upon the principle of doing unto others as they would be done by ?—(lnterruption and " Question.") The CHAIRMAN said it was evident that the gentle man would not obtain a hearing from the meeting, after every endeavour on his part; and if he continued he must put it to the meeting, whether it was their pleasure to continue hearing him ?—(This was ac cordingly done, and only four hands were held up for the hearing, and Mr. Spur sat down.) Dr. BOWRING would have been gratified if the meeting could have heard every one. Ile (Pr. Bowring) had met with a few in a small room at Manchester to form the Anti-Corn-law League; they were not noticed; they were not reported ; but they had now become known, and assisted, because their object was the universal good. Other ques tions, such as negro slavery, and Catholic emancipa tion, interested only a portion of the community. This question interested all mankind; and if any one still doubted the efficacy of repeal, be would urge them to consider it in reference to its mighty im portance upon the permanent interests of the world. The world looked to England for a great example, and every Englishman ought to feel that it rested with him . to take a large and ex pansive view of his duty to others. Let there be no more separation between different countries than between different sides of the street. Let all be united for the general good. The arguments for repeal were now brought home to every man's bosom, and the general response of the people of England to the ap peal of the Anti-Corn-law League had already startled the monopolists, for they saw in the answer to that appeal the evidence of victory; and let them be assured that, by the victory of free,trade in this country, they would not only be labouring for their own interest, but would lay a wide basis of humanity and virtue for strengthening those principles which time could only increase, and which no arguments could overthrow. The resolution was then put and carried. Colonel P. TIIOMPSON presented himself to move the third resolution. He would not, at that late hour, detain them long. Ile would only tell them where the shoe pinched himself, and he would ask them whether it did not pinch them in the same place ? Four toes were dreadfully pressed already, and of the fifth he had great apprehensions. In the first place, then, he had property in land, and he complained that he was cut off from the prosperity of his commercial neighbours. Perhaps they would say that they did not care for the interests of the landowners. Be it so. Possibly they had not much reason to care for them.—(Cheers.) But why should they not assist one another if the help could be afforded without trouble or loss ? His next suffering was that he found himself cut off, as all landlords were, of all opportunities of establishing their children in life in the. manner in which they ought. Where was, he to find employment for them ? If he took the Church— (Laughter)—there were more ecclesiastics already than there were tithe pigs.—(Cheers.) If he made one a lawyer, there were already more lawyers than briefs. If he took the doctors, there were more doc tors than sick men who can pay.—(Cheers and laughter.) Next was his complaint No. 3. He suf fered, as he supposed most did, from the Income-tax. It was a connivance of the landlords to enable the Legislature to raise money to meet,the expenditure, and the Income-tax was imposed to obviate the diffi culty of allowing commerce to go free.—(Cheers.) That was the history of his three miseries. Then came the other misfortune. His friends in Phila delphi could not pay their debts.—(Loud cheers.) How came that about ? His friends there doubtless said, " Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all," and so he hoped they might—(Laughter)—but why had they not paid before? Because by our refusing a natural commerce, they were prevented paying in the only manner in which they were able and willing to pay.—(Cheers.) how many were there who participated with him in these four miseries ? And yet he heard another evil whistling in the wind. He had some Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stock, and down would come the Minister, and would say, " These stocks I will cut down from 3i to 3 per cent." This would take away . ls per cent. of his property, or something like five income taxes. The Minister would say that the country was flourishing, and that stocks were high. He denied this. He knew that at some seasons the loss of a couple of frigates would make the stocks fall ; but he maintained, that if the stocks rose from prosperity, they would also rise &in the evil of want of employment for capital. What regulated the rate of interest in the funds ; was it not the rate of interest paid for money in this country ? If a manufacturer gained 10 per cent., he could afford t o pay 5 for interest; if he gatned 9 per cent., he could only afford 4 per cent. ; if he gained but 7 per cent., interest would drop t o 3, an d so on. He would ask, therefore, why the interest and the value of stock should not drop, under Providence and the blessing of the Corn-laws, to 31, to 3, to 2, or so low that no one without a microscope could tell what the interest was ?—(Clieers.) They would, doubt less, soon hear the Minister, with the strength of this argument of prosperity, turn to the little boys behind him, as he (Colonel Thompson) had seen him, and bid them cheer whilst he told them that this rise was all owing to the public happiness and. contentment.—(Laughter.) Here was his five reasons for joining the Anti-Corn -law League. Those who were engaged in commerce would have many more ; and he was sure that there was no one who was not aware that these restrictions brought down the Tate of wages with those who lived upon wages, and brought down the rate of profits with those who lived upon profits. As to the opening of the China, trade, we had robbed a harmless Quaker community of twenty-one millions of dollars for not swallowing our opium, but what satisfaction should we h ave i n opening that trade, whilst we cut off a better trade at home ? The people could not eat tea, they could not . eat the bamboo.—(Cheers and laughter.) The opening of trade might add.to the comforts of the rich landlord, but would it feed the wretched crea tures whose families were starving for want of corn ? Pains were taken to put off the trade in corn, whilst they would be told of the increase in silks and tea. He recommended them, therefore, to stick to their demands. Why should they be sent after commerce 3,000 leagues away, and leave those chan nels which were only 300 miles off? The Go vernment told them they might not trade in anything they did want, but in anything they did not want they might trade. He would now furnish the ladies with a brief and family definition of monopoly : "It was robbing everybody for the benefit of somebody, and throwing away half by the way."—(Much cheer ing.) That. was what all monopolies came to. When ever there was one g ain by monopoly the re were two losses to balance it, and that was the secret of mono poly. Now, one word as to thoie who blamed the Anti-Corn-law League because they did not join in this'agitation. They said that their own measures would not swim ; if so, was it policy to tie them to something heavier.—(Cheers ?) He did not join, not because he did not love their cause ; but, because upon this point of the Corn-laws he thought his friends had strength, and he therefore wished to shake this part of the wall first.—(Cheers.) Then, as to the argument of the gentleman in the gallery (Mr. Spur), that they ought not to repeal these laws, because of the leases— Mr. WILSON, in seconding the resolution, denied that the reduction of prices in articles of consumption had been occasioned by the alterations in the tariff. It had been occasioned by the diminished power of purchasing on the part of the masses, consequent upon their destitution. The prices of butter and cheue, neither of which were affected by the tariff, had fallen more in proportion than meat; while the importation of butter from abroad was 39,000 cwt. less this year than it had been last. The importations of cheese, flax, and wool, had all diminished, while the prices had fallen ; and as a proof of the destitution of the consuming classes in the metropolis, he would appeal to the fact, that during the present year the quantity of coals imported into London was less by 200,000 tons than last year. Prides had been reduced by di minished consumption, not by increased importation. The number of cattle imported into the whole of the United Kingdom hitherto would not supply Smith field for one week. The importation of sheep from Ireland into the manufacturing districts had dimi nished from 225,000 annually, to 155,000 annually. The Hon:Gentleman then stated that Huddersfield in one day had contributed 1,0581. to the League Fund, and urged the inhabitants of the metropolis to support the League. The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. J. Smtrit announced that the Chairman had subscribed 501.—(Cheers)—and that a district meet ing would take place in Whitcchapel on 7th Dec. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated, after three cheers had been given for the Anti-Corn-law League. PROSPECT of TRADE with CHINA. Already the news of the peace with China has operated favourably upon our markets, giving a most important stimulus •to the markets of Man chester and Liverpool, and a much improved feeling to that of Leeds. The new ports opened, the respect which• the Imperial Government will be likely to show to' British trade, the decidedly commercial character of the Chinese people, their immense numbers, and the much nearer approach which our merchants will now be able to make to the northern and colder:parts of China where wool• lens are worn, are all circumstances that must operate to increase the export of British manufactures to that -- -. country. But whilst this confidence may be reasonably en tertained, our merchants and manufacturers would do well to act with.. caution. There has scarcely ever been a new opening like this afforded to trade, that it has not in a few months been terribly overdone, and the exporters have glutted the market, - and thus thrown away their property. It was thus on the re opening of the AmeriCan trade after the revolutionary war-on the opening of the Brazilian and Buenos Ayreau markets to England —on, the opening of the European markets at the peace of 14—and on the opening of the Indian markets at the' abolition of the East India Company's monopoly.; It ought to be known that there is at the present moment a year's stock of all kinds of British manufactures on hand • in China. During the last twelve months very few goods have been sold in that market, and the latest commer cial letters represent prices as exceedingly low. We state these facts cn the authority of a gentleman en gaged in the trade, whose character is . a guarantee for the accuracy of his statements. .We also know that. in this country there are large stocks in the hands of the manufacturers, of goods intended for the China market; and as it is certain that those goods will be sent off by the first opportunity, there will be the less room for those who may conic after them. • It may further be useful to ' manufacturers and merchants to know, that the Chinese are the most particular people in the world -as to the colours, the niaking-up, the widths, • lengths, and weights of the goods they purcbise. There is not a house in the `trade which has not bought its knowledge of the Chi nese tastes and habits by dear experience. Our Bradford friends may not all be aware that the . Chinese have religious or quasi religious scruples against wearing fabrics which are made of two diffe rent materials,. as wool and cotton. We know of' a case in which a lot of worsted goods with cotton warps were sent to Canton, and were gold on arrival' by the pattern 'card ; but on the day following the sale was cancelled by the llong . merchants, who alleg,ed that the goods were made of animal and vegetable sub stances mixed, which was contrary to nature as well as to their religion. In this respect the Chinese act on the principle laid down in the Mosaic law—" Neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee."—Levit. xix. 19. It may be relied on that mixed fabrics will' not sell in China. - The kinds of woollens principally sent.to China are ladies' cloths and medium cloths, fabrics which emplo,v a large proportion of wool. The district in which they are chiefly made comprises the villages of Raw don, Yeadon, Guiselv, Idle, Shipley, and Eccleshill, and they come to the Leeds market. The market at our White Cloth Hall, on Tuesday last, was the best that has been known for two years. In cottons, the article principally sent to China is. skirtings, of which the largest sales ever known wer e made in Canton, just before the departure of the last mail but one ; and a degree of improvement he. in consequence been felt in the trade even prior to th e news of the peace. Cotton twist is also sent in large quantities. It is anticipated that as the cottons of England have superseded those of India, so they will supersede those of China, as soon as they can be brought into competition with them. An immense demand may therefore arise for our cotton manu factures. The principal difficulty of our merchants will be . is; obtaining returns from China. The only large im ports from that country now are in tea and. silk. Pro bably other articles may be discovered in the northern parts of China ; and it is said that samples of tobacco of very superior quality have been shown in the Lon don market.—Leeds Mercury. FURTHER LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY AT SEA. On Sunday night last, at Strangford, daring a dreadful gale of wind from the south-west, a brig belonging to Newcastle, named the Echo, commanded by Mr. Evans, and a crew of seven persons, was totally lost on the Cannon Rocks, near the north and south light, and four of her unhappy freight met with a watery grave. At Newhaven, on Monday morning last, a vessel, supposed about 30 tons burden, was found totally wrecked on the rocks under the cliff westward of the harbour of this port. • From th e name of " Manuel" being painted in white letters on a quarter-board, which was washed ashore in the course of the morning, she is supposed to be a French craft. All the crew are reported to have- perished with the vessel. By the barque Venus, which arrived at Antwerp on Tuesday last, the master re— ports having passed on the morning of Friday, tite 18th of last month, the wreck of a large vessel burnt to the water's edge. lie bore round it several times for the purpose of discovering her name, but was. unable to do so. The wreck was in lat. about 49, long. 8. Among the accounts received by the Great Western steam-ship, which arrived at Liverpool or , Wednesday morning, were those dated Nassau, Oc tober 21, and New Orleans, November 8, detailing the destruction of two vessels by fire ; namely, the Maid of Arkansas, a steamer, and an Am er i can ship, the Ceres, Captain Cliftie, from Mobile to New York. The Great Western also brings tidings of the loss of several other ships. The Trial, a fine three-masted vessel, master's name Le Blanc, from Prince Edward's Island for St. John's, Newfoundland, went on shore on the night of the 3d of November, at Pompkit, near Antigoutsh, and became a total wreck. All hands, amounting to 25 persons, peri,shed. On the 18th of the same month, the ship Eliza, belonging to London, was driven by a furious gale on to the south-east end of the island of Anticosti. About three hours after she had struck s h e s lii l off the rocks into deep water, and sank immediately . Two seamen, and a passenger named Touton, were drowned ; the rest of the crew reached the shore. On the 3d of the same month the ship Mary, of Sydrtey, was totally lost near Manidieu. The crew were sawed. Amongst the other vessels wrecked are the shamrock, on the Barnegas Shoals;; the Curlew, Captain Richie, of Argyle; the barque Resolution, of London ; the schooners George and Empress, and three others. The loss of the latter was stated to be 70,0001. Sewell and! Co. solicit immediate inspection from the public to their immense stock of foreign velvets, at Bs. 9d., 10 , s. 9d., and 12s. 9d., original prices being 15s. 6d., 18s. 6d., and 21s.
