It is our painful duty this evening to announce the decease, the unexpected though by no means prema ture decease, of one of the most eminent among the benefactors of the working classes. Thousands of our industrious population will be saddened when they learn that on Monday, the 28th of May, their old and devoted friend, JOHN FIELDEN, breathed his last breath in a spirit of tranquil resignation. Very recently our columns have evidenced in a startling and mour n f u l manner the evanescence of human existence. Not th a t th e general mortality has been perceptibly increased, but that within a com paratively brief interval so many of our dis tinguished contemporaries have di sappeared. Heroic warriors of the military and maritime professions; distinguished legislators, and illustrious writers, individuals remarkable for their generosity of disposition, or for the untutored vigour of their intellects, have one after another, in rapid Succession, been summoned int o th e l a nd of mysteries. Since the sudden demise of SAIfUEL MAUNDER, the author of the " Treasuries of Literature," a demise which, it will be remembered, took place as recently as I the 30th of April, several names familiar to the multitude, and synonymous with gallantry, or geniu., or goodness, have appeared almost simultaneously in the obituary. In this respect the ordinarily " merry month of May" has been suffused with an unusual melancholy. One of the brave soldiers of England, Sir JASPER NIcoLLs, the man who led on the 2d division of infantry on the occasion of the siege of Bhurtpore in 1825, departed life on the 4th ultimo. One of the heroic sea captains of Britain, Sir ADAM DRUMMoND, a man who had stood the French fire under RODNEY in the West Indies, and the Dutch fire under DUN CAN at Camperdown, died on the preceding day, namely, on the 3d ultimo. On the 9th ult. died Sir ROBERT WILSON, the soldier who calumniated the Emperor NAPOLEON and bewailed the Queen CARO. LINE, and yet, who in spite of his many faults and fol lies, secured our admiration by his generous conduct in aiding the romantic escape of LAVALETTE. On the 13th ult. died Sir EDWARD PAGET, eminent not only by his birth and services, but by the position he had attained as Governor of Chelsea Hospital. From the aristocracy passed away on the 26th ult. the here ditary Grand Falconer, the Duke of ST. ALIUNS— known as the husband of Mrs. COUTTS once the cele brated actress, HARRIET MELLON. From the ranks of the poorer classes disappeared, on the 16th ult., one of its brightest ornaments, WILLIAM NICHOLSON, familiarly called the Galloway Poet, and admitted to the honours of the bay leaf principally in consideration of his " Brownie of Blednoch." On the 4th ultimo the biographer of Lord ELDON was numbered amongst the deceased, and on the 21st ult. Mr. HORACE Twiss was followed to the grave by the renowned author of "Castle Rackrent." Within the last few days the melancholy catalogue of the dead has been extended, by the departure from this world, on the 22d ult., of ROBERT VERNON, the mu nificent patron of art, who so recently secured to himself the grateful remembrance of his countrymen by his splendid donation ,of the Vernon Collection of Paintings to the National Gallery ; and on the 28th ult., by the demise already mentioned, of JOHN FIELDEN, for several years the representative of Old ham in the British House of Commons. More brilliant characters have passed from the stage of public life, but none more worthy, more honest, more true, more reputable. JOHN FIELDEN was essentially the advocate of the labour ing classes. Once a labouring man him self, his sympathies were with them always. None of your upstart parvenu speculators was he— but a plain upright toiler to competence, and in fluence, and authority. Having worked at the loom with his own hands, and shared the troubles, anxieties, and vicissitudes of the population of the factories, JOHN FIELDEN knew by personal expe rience the wants and necessities of those who, less fortunate in acquiring prosperity than he, were never theless always afterwards regarded by him as bis brethren. Become a master himself through the medium of his combined intelligence and industry, he was still to the last at heart an artizan. A member of the Legislature, he was still in all his recollections and predilections a member of the labouring multitude. This feeling it was, this faith fulness it was to his caste which rendered JOHN FIELDEN the earnest and untiring champion of the rights of his fellow-toilers, when he himself had earned the power of advocating the rights of those toilers in the British Parliament. His exertions in regard to the memorable Ten Hours' Bill will not very speedily be forgotten. His disinterestedness in forwarding the principles of that measure were conspicuous before the House and be fore the country, securing to him even from those who differed from him in reference to its operation a ready and cordial respect ; for the enactment went towards the material diminution of the powers of the master manufacturers, and Mr. FIELDEN was known throughout the United Kingdom to be a master manu facturer himself. The whole secret of his enthu siasm as to the Ten Hours' Bill was dis coverable in his solicitude to ameliorate the condition of the women and children in the manufacturing dis tricts. Instead of beholding the mothers, and wives, and sisters of the poor artisans deprived, by perpetual drudgery, of all the comforts and consolations of do mesticity, he wished to open to them and to their families, generation after generation, the most golden and blessed haven from all tribulations—the haven of nomE! He wished to render those women and those children less beasts of burden, less hewers of wood and drawers of water, less parts of a great, stern, and iron mechanism, steeling the heart against gentlene-s, shutting the mind against know ledge, drying up the milk in the maternal bosom, and depriving infancy of all the charms of childhood. It was the ambition of JOHN FIELDEN to break in pieces this cruel and unhumanizing system —an ambition in which Lord ASHLEY generously sympathised. And thanks to the indomitable victory of truth, that ambition was working out its own realisation long before death closed the eyes and put an end to the useful and benevolent exertions of FIELDEN. His memory will " live green in the souls" of the people, for his name is written in charac ters of light on the statute-book of England. There is no one but will coincide in our earnest respect fur the sincerity of the late Member for Oldham, or who will not share, in some measure, the regret with which we announce the death of Join FIELDEN. "In faith and hope the world will disagree, But all mankind's concern is charity." The case of Mr. ROBERT Coox, the Particulars of which were contained in a letter which appeared in our impression of Tuesday, is worthy of the con sideration of those who are now calling on the Legis• lature to re establish the mischievous practice of arrest on mesne process, and thus to increase a hundredfold the evils that still exist from permitting a creditor, generally vexed and exasperated at the loss be has sustained, to become the judge in his own case, and to incarcerate his miserable debtor at his own mere will and pleasure —a power which is too often exercised from the most unworthy motives. Mr. Coos, it appears, having fallen into pecuniary difficulties, was arrested and conveyed to White• cross-street Prison, in the month of July last, more than ten months since. Being unable to obtain his liberty in any other manner, he was compelled to present his petition to the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. After sundry delays the case was adjudicated on, and Mr. COOK was declared entitled to his discharge, he having been a prisoner in close custody for nearly • nine months. This was surely punishment enough for an innocent man. Nine months of close, weary ing imprisonment, during which he was debarred from exercising his industry in any useful pursuit, or of earning money for the support of himself and family, or for the satisfaction of his iPortajfde creditors, might surely be enough to satisfy the vindictive feelings of the most harsh and oppressive creditor. But not so; after the Commissioner had decided that he was entitled to his freedom —while he was eagerly looking for his anticipated liberation —the cre ditor discovered, or fancied he discovered, some formal irregularity in the wording of the adjudication, a n d lodged a new detainer, which prevented the hoped-for discharge. Here, then, was this unfortunate man not only punished by a long and ir ksome imprisonment before trial, but even after t he case had been full y investi uptiotnledfultlo con sideration,his had declared that gated; and after the presiding Judge, enhe Ju w d a g s immediate discharge, we find the creditor still allowed to step in to oppose his will against the judgment of a competent tribunal, and to say, " I will still detain in prison the man whom the law bath declared to be entitled to his freedom, in whom the Judge found nothing worthy of punishment." This is, undoubtedly, a grievous hardship. Why should a mere matter of form be sufficient to prevail under such circumstances ? If there had been any substantial error, any wilful and deliberate conceal ment, the case might have been very different, and fair reasons might be alleged for bringing the party again before the Court, to deal with him under the new state of facts ; but this is a mere error of words, the fault most probably of one of the officials of the Court itself, for which the wretched prisoner could not fairly be held responsible, and yet he still lingers in confinement, a victim to the mistakes of others. Mr. COOK was equally unfortunate in his subse quent attempts to obtain his discharge. His applica tions to set aside the capias were . J6ected on two occasions, in consequence of the absence or the pro fesglonal advisers to whose care he entrusted the mat ter, the result of which was of such vital importance. They were in fault, and he again wass, the sufferer. They did not appear when ( Jailed on, and the Court, to mark its displeasure of such conduct, and to punish the legal gentlemen for their carelessness, strike out the rule, the effect of which is to heap further costs on the unfortunate client, and to detain him still lingering in prison, pining under " the hope deferred which maketh the heart sick." The application to reinstate the rule in the paper, although in favorem libertatis, is peremptorily rejected, the client must suffer for the default of his counsel. It is not, we believe, generally known that there are at this moment very many persons lingering in hopeless confinement, because, strange as it may ap pear, they are too poor to become insolvents ! It is true that there is a benevolent society that by its gratuitous exertions procures the discharge of many, very many, such persons in each and every year, and restores them to their half-starved families ; but their aid thus charitably bestowed i 3 necessarily limited, and many persons deserving of the deepest sympathy still remain in prison from want of money sufficient to bring their cases properly forward. It may be said that these are necessary evils—that in a commercial country the creditor must be per mitted to retain full power over his debtor, in order that fraud may be properly punished, and that any relaxation of the law would be attended with very mischievous consequences. We cannot, however, coincide in these conclusions. Every good purpose would be answered if the creditor were allowed, on obtaining judgment, to summon his debtor before a judge, to show cause why a vesting order should not be obtained of all his estates, and effects, and himself sentenced to a fixed and definite term of imprisonment if his conduct should appear deserving of punishment. Such an imprisonment inflicted under the sentence of a Court would be much more dreaded than the present confinement, where the innocent suffer equally with the guilty, and where the fraudulent debtor, who conceals his assets from the creditors, is enabled to make better terms than the honest but unfortunate man, who has fairly given up his all for the benefit of those to whom he is indebted. Sanitary reforms seem to be procrastinated beyond the limits of the national patience. The steps already taken, however, in the movement are sufficient to show that the advocates of the system of improve ment are merely tarrying for a while to enable them selves the more effectually to advance their favourite measures, and to do this by mustering all their available energies. To this end has been founded the Health of Towns Association, an association calcu lated to stimulate unofficially the official endeavours of the Commissioners at Gwydyr House. Meanwhile, out of the multiplicity of the advocates of sanitary improvement, the public have gradually acquired a very confused notion of their intentions. Anything that can at all tend, therefore, to reduce those scattered and in some instances incongruous opinions into one compact and harmonious system in the mind of the multitude cannot but tend directly to the ad vancement of the cause, and to its better compre hension by the community. A pamphlet which accomplishes precisely this has recently been published ;* and it is to the fact of its pub lication that we would here direct the public attention, satisfied, as we are, that it will materially forward the wishes of the Sanitary Commissioners and cf the Sanitary Association, namely, in placing the views of their most distinguished members prominently forward, and together ! The digest of Mr. SIMPSON, as will be observed by the title of the pamphlet given below in a foot-note, embraces the opinion upon sanitary matters of Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, of Dr. Ax OTT and of Dr. GAVIN, of Mr. CHADWICK and of Mr. WALKER. In this respect the pamphlet fills up a gap, and a very important one too, previously existing in the list of sanitary publi cations. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Thanks in the first place to the illegal conduct of General CuxtiGA.RNIElt, in the second place to the ob stinate pig-headedness of old M. KERATRY, the Presi dent pro tern. of the Legislative Assembly, and in the third place to the "zeal without discretion" of the very "moderate" gentlemen who sit on the right, the Legislative assembly was on Wednesday, for upwards of three hours, the scene of an emeute which has not been paralleled since the days when the majority of the Chambre Introuvable, in 1815, excited the mas sacres of the Protestants in the south of France (which, by-the-bye, were justified by M. de FAL- Loux or, Friday last) refused to receive GREGOIN, and not only expelled him but ejected MANUEL from the Chamber vi et arrnis. The Presse thus speaks of the disgraceful scene : " We look back, and find nothing which can be come pared to the sitting of yesterday. In fact the Constituent Assembly was a model of wisdom, of calm, and of tole rance, by the side of the Legislative Chamber, such as it now conducts itself. We must go back to the time of our first revolution to find anything to compare with the scene which for three hours was exhibited in our Parlia mentary arena. " Unfortunately this is only the commencement. Under the monarchy a sitting like that of yesterday would have made an epoch. But we fear that they will frequently occur. Politics are turned into a drama ; a speech from the tribune smells of powder. Threats and insults are hurled from the two sides of the Assembly as from two hostile camps. We are returned to the Reds and the Whites of sixty years since. It is only the years which are changed. The hatred and passions of former days appear to be reanimated from beneath the dust which covered them." The scene originated in an illegal act by General CHANGARNIER, who took advantage of the fact that the Assembly was not yet constituted to remove Colonel CAUYIN, who had since the 15th May, 1348, held the command of the guard of the Chamber, and to appoint to it some creature of his own. M. Cita.- Yorx had called the attention of the Assembly to this subject'; General LEBRETON had stated that he had resigned his office of Questor because he found that the orders which he issued in that capacity to the newly appointed commander of the guard were habitually disobeyed, and M. LEDRU ROLLIN had ascended the tribune, and was about to speak, when old M. KERATRY, the temporary President (an ultra Royalist and once a member of the old Chamber of Peers), without any motion being made to that effect, put the question on the order of the day for the evi dent purpose of preventing M. LEDRU ROLLIN from addressing the Assembly. The Members of the Left of course loudly protested against this attempt at crushing the rights of the minority by depriving !them of liberty of speech, whereupon M. KERATRY, amidst the frantic shouts of the reactionaries, put on his hat and suspended the sitting. The sitting was renewed after the lapse of a quarter of an hour, and M. LEDRU ROLLIN again ascended the tribune and commenced addressing the Assembly, as he had a perfect right to do, and as he would have done before, had any other than "a foolish and a faded gentleman" occupied the Pre sidential chair. M. LEDRU ROLLIN was proceeding to point out the manner in which General CHAN GARNIER had violated the constitution, and the decree of the 11th of May, 1848, by interfering with the command of the guard of the Assembly, and to show how such meddling might perhaps facili tate a violation of the Assembly, when the President, whose vocation it is to preserve order and t ftsp o roeeomahr iptibermiedyv, whichennt interruptionoi w.tone—" Dnea _ußOLLlN leaned l waswasyt n o uw speaking,a r d and s your n h n e ra tribunenpd party, saidrt y you and„your commissaries who have violated - the As!

The Reactionaries, however, t a p o i t p aa d f e o d r vociferously, while the Left protested, and demandedml that M. KERATRY should apologis e t o the Assembly, and should retract his words. For more than an hour the obstinate old man, encouraged by the shouts of the Reactionaries, refused to make any apology, and the four Secretaries advanced and resigned their functions on the express ground that they considered it disgraceful to sit near a Pre sident who could so misconduct himself; still the old man continued obstinate, when the Left rose in a body, and headed by Sergeants BOICIIOY and RATTIER, prepared to leave an Assembly in which liberty of speech was no longer permitted, and of which the President was the leader of disorder. Alarmed by the firm attitude assumed by this large minority, the majority at length became aware that they had gone too far. They now tried to soothe the irritated minority, and to induce them to resume their seats, in which, however, they did not succeed until M. KERATRY had stood up publicly * " A Digest of Several Reports on Sanitary Reform; containing the Views of E. Chadwick, EQq., C. 8.; Dr. S. Smith, Dr. N. Arnott, Dr. H. Gavin, G. A.

The reactionary journals ap pear to be very much shocked at this tumult, which they prophecy is only the fore. runner of many similar scenes. They _certainly have it in their own power to bring about a fulfil ment of this prophecy; but we think, after the lesson of Wednesday, they will pause before they again attempt to violate the undoubted rights of the minority. The Ministerial crisis still continues. It is said that M. DUFAURE refuses to enter the new Cabinet, as he disapproves of the programme of its policy. The Reforms announces, on the faith of private information, that M. GAYE had been dispatched to Italy with fresh instructions to M. LESSEPS, com manding him to allow the Roman question to remain in static quo, until the Legislative Asse m bly s h a ll h ave delivered its opinion as to the best mode of termi nating the affair. A telegraphic dispatch of the 23d ult., from Rome, states that there had not been any hostilities at that date, but that, on the contrary, an armistice had been renewed for eight days more.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES ----- - AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. THE FALL OF OFEN. VIENNA, MAY 27.—The Wiener Zeitung, in an extraordinary supplement, gives the following state ment :—" Since we are to this moment without any official report from Ofen, because all communication is interrupted with that place, we give the follow ing account, which may be on the whole depended "On the 4th of May GEORGY approached Ofen, where he took up a position on the Blocksberg and the Schwahenberg, and neared Ofen itself as far as the Bombenplatz. Major• General i!ENTZI refused to accept the demand to capitulate, and opened so brisk a fire upon the insurgents that they were obliged to fall back. On the same evening he also bombarded Pesth, from which fortress many of the enemy's shots proved fatal to the Imperial troops ; after this the insurgents remained passive for several days, and constructed a pontoon at the Island of Csessel. On the 9th, the Hungarians commenced a heavy bom bardment of the fortress from their mountain position, in consequence of which Pesth was bombarded on the morning of the 10th, from five till seven o'clock. One of the bombs here fired a house, the Trattner Karal a. "The third and heaviest bombardment of Pesth commenced on the evening of the 13th, at 7 o'clock, when several houses were fired by the rockets. "On the night of the 17th, at 10 o'clock, the Hungarians first stormed Ofen, and in many places the insurgents succeeded in gaining the walls, but they were repulsed with the loss of four to five hundred men killed. " They stormed it for the second time on the night of the 19th, at one o'clock, but they did not succeed in gaining the ramparts, and were again beaten back with the loss of several hundred troops. " At last they stormed the city for the third time, in the night of the 20th, at eleven o'clock. In the morning of the 21st they overpowered the fortress with an immensely superior force. " After the storming of the fortress, Colonel Cicco- PIEN was found dead, and Major-General HENTZI covered with severe wounds, but still living. " All the officers of the Croats and Borderers were recklessly mown down. The castle and houses from which officers had been hunted were given over to plunder. " The Major of the Borderers, who kept the tete du:pont,' with about 200 men, gave orders, as soon as he saw the storming of the fortress and the successful approach of the rebels, that the bridge should be blown up. His orders not being instantly obeyed, the Major himself applied the match to the mine, when the powder exploded through the opening, and killed the Major on the spot, without, however, doing any injury to the bridge. "The loss of the Hungarians at the storming of the fortress is given at 250 privates and 40 officers. " At Oren GEORGY commanded 30,000 men." From the above melancholy report it appears that the Hungarians have been in possession of the fortress since the morning of the 21st, while up to this day, being the sixth day, we have hid no official intelli- gence whatever respecting the fate of Ofen, or even of its valiant garrison. There is, therefore, a slight gleam of hope that these details may be overcharged, and the more so since all the copies of this extra sup plement of the Wiener Zeitung have been confiscated by the Government, and the editor arrested. P.S.—FOUR O'CLOCK IN TOE AFTERNOON.—Ac cording to intelligence just arrived, Orsowa is so closely besieged by the Magyars that the occupation of this important position by the insurgents is scarcely a matter of doubt. All the steamers belonging to the Danubian Steam Company, which had retired to that station, have been compelled to go down the stream to Wallachia, where are the 30,000 Russians who have been expected in Orsowa for weeks. The EMPEROR returned to Vienna on the 25th. Vienna is at this time suffering from famine in consequence of the suspension of all communication with Hungary. This famine is likely to extend to the other German portions of the Austrian dominions, which have hitherto drawn their chief supplies of provisions from Hungary. • . The account of the defeat of the Russians by DEMBINSKI is confirmed ; they lost 2,000 killed and 20 pieces of cannon. General SASS commanded the Russians. cannon.

We have already stated that commercial letters received at Amsterdam from Revil announce that 20,000 Russian troops had been embarked at that place, and were about to proceed to Copenhagen to assist Den mark in the Schleswig-Holstein war. A letter from St. Petersburgh, in the Limburg Zeitung, dated the 21st, says that the fleet was to sail in eight days. The bombardment of Fredericia continues.—llam burgh Papers, May 29. FRANKFORT.

BAVARIA. An outbreak took place on the 23d in the camp of Danno werth. Several soldiers shouted for liberty and the Republic of Hecker, and threatened the staff officers, who were obliged to retire. The Gazette de RUSSIA. l'Allemagne Occidentale, dated Cracow, May 20, contains an accoun t o f a gran d council of wa r h av i ng been held at St. P e t ers b urg h , at which a protest was made against Russian inter ference in the affairs of Europe. The EMPEROR was much irritated, and received this advice with a bad grace, even insulti ng som e of the senators. The President o f the Council, JERMOLOEF, rose and told the EMPEROR that NAPOLEON by his obstinacy ruined himself, and his MAaesTr might meet the same fate, and then the General quitted the Chamber. The sam e journal contains intelligence, that several plots against the EMPEROR have been discovered at St. Petersburgh. Many officers, and even generals, were arrested, and instead of being sent to Siberia, were at once hung. It would appear that the army is discontented, and that is the cause of the Guards having been sent from St. Petersburgh. cotton market y esterday was extremely SOUTHAMP TON , P RIDA y MORNING.—The Ha vre dull.

Intelligence has been received from Rome to the 22,4. The great majority of the French residing in Rome have refused to quit the city, notwithstanding the urgent entreaties of M. DE LESiEPS. General MezzocAPo has been appointed to the command of the city. The defeat of the Neapolitans by GARIBALDI was a per fect rout—not a Neapolitan soldier is to be found in the territory of the Roman Republic. GARIBALDI was slightly wounded in the battle. The head quarters of the Neapolitan army are now at Naples. The very excellently beaten BOMBA is at Gaeta pour ing his sorrows into the bosom of the POPE. It is said that the house of ROTHSCHILD has offered to negotiate a loan for the King of SARDINIA to en able him to pay the compensation demanded by Austria. The KING still continues dangerously ill. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Q UAIRTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, including 500 American fur export. The market had a firmer tone. The transactions were about 4,100 American, at 3•ad. to 61d., 50 Bahia at 41., and 300 Surats at 31 to 34d. In Railway Shares there was no improvement to notice in prices, but the market closed with a better feeling. The Corn Market is steady. The arrivals of Foreign Grain include 7,610 quarters of Wheat, and 28,050 quarters of Oats. It must be gratifying after a lengthened period of trial and misfortune, partly, no doubt, the result of error and over sanguine anticipation, to find the prospects of the New Zealand settlements steadily improving; and we say this without any intention of regarding the company's welfare as of more than secondary importance to that of the settlers. Under a good system, however, the pros • perity of each may go hand in hand. As the commercial part of the question is that with which we have chiefly to deal under this head, we extract some remarks of a communication sent home by Mr. Fox, and dated from Wellington. He states:— " The labouring classes, agricultural and mechanical, though their was a period when their prosperity was small and their prospects bad, are now and are likely to continue in a state which to them must be one of un exampled affluence. The bulk of the agricultural la bourers own cattle, land, and other accumulated property; if they labour for hire they receive from three to four shillings a day, and that in a country where the neces saries of life are cheap, and where having almost without an exception land in cultivation or stock of their own, they need seldom go to market for any thing except clothing and imported articles, such as tea and sugar. These men in most agricultural counties of England, would have been receiving nine or ten shillings a week wages, working from daylight to dark, and out of that hard earned pittance have had to pay rents and other outgoings. Nor would they have possessed any means of livelihood collateral to their own labour. Mechanics get from six to eight shillings a day, and work only from 8 to 5. In England they would have received from three to five shillings, and worked from 6 to 6, besides having probably heavy rents to pay, and living too many of them in the midst of that accu mulation of disease and misery, which sanitary inquiries have of late years proved to exist in all the largo towns of Great Britain. Ido not believe that there is a labourer or mechanic in this settlement who, taking his personal condition and future prospects, is not manifold better off than the bulk of his class at home." Again— " Then as regards the mercantile and commercial part of the community, their prosperity seems great also, while shopkeepers of every class are making fortunes hand over head.' The prosperity of these classes is evi denced by an almost entire absence of litigation which usually arises, particularly incommercial communities, net from any love for courts of law, but from the inability on the:one hand to meet engagements, and on the other to give time, from the anxiety to get in money on the one side and the desire of staving off the day of payment on the other, which are generated by straitened circumstances and a tight' money market. But that description of law business which indicates prosperity, conveyancing and every thing connected with the transfer of property, is at present, as I am informed by a practising solicitor, very abundant, and costs are paid in cash as soon as the business is done." Respecting Nelson and other parts the statistical re port of the same officer is equally favourable. Another meeting of importance held yesterday after noon was that of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, which is represented as being in a flourishing condition, though the point of chief in terest to the public is, that great facilities are being afforded by the new Viceroy, Abbas Pacha, for the transit through Egypt. It is most gratifying to learn also, that Government has not given up the idea of steam communication with Australia ; that the contract has been renewed for conveying the India and China mails between Southampton and Alexandria; that there is a prospect of the steamer from Southampton to Alexandria on the 3d of each month being re-established, and that a new steamer, the Canton, is plying successfully between Hong-Kong, Macao, &c., and Canton. We have seen the various accounts brought by the Hamburgh, Ostend, and French mails. At Paris the Stoek-Exchange was influenced chiefly by the state of the account, which was very Bullish, an d as usual upon closing, the party having most to arrange is made to suffer. At Hamburgh last Friday the money market was very easy. Exchange on London 13 10. The blockade of the Baltic ports was still rigorously maintained, and from Elsinore we are advised that 300 ships were detained by contrary winds off Hornbeck. The Frankfort Bourse on the 29th ult. was steady, and at Amsterdam on Wednesday there was no particular change. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 484. The raising of the blockade of Palermo is the only favourable piece of news received. We have the following particulars of trade in the manufacturing districts furnished in a letter from Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, of Manchester:-- " The interposition of a portion of the Whitsuntide holidays has, as usual, contributed to lessen the amount of the month's transactions. Inconsistent, however, as it may appear to be with the external appearance of the market, the fact is undeniable that a very large amount of business in Cloth and Yarns has again been trans acted. We could much have liked to acccompany this in• timation with the expression of a consciousness that all our producers had been beneficially interested; it is, however, we believe too true, that though the mills con tinue working full time, many of the spinners and =intl• facturers are barely realising the cost of their respective productions. This opinion applies more particularly to the spinners of what are usually termed low numbers in both water and mule twist, and to the manufacturers of domestics and some other goods, which may be recog nised by the low prices at which they are selling, as compared with the price of the raw material. Even in more prosperous times certain branches will always be found to be less remunerative than others, but in seasons when the whole trade of the district is more or less prejudicially affected by influences from. abroad, and when the home trade, from its comparative prostra tion, can render but little aid, the injury becomes more apparent." Although business in the Stock Market is exceedingly limited improved prices are realised, and, as usual on Friday, many parties are closing their accounts.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.. 3 % 44 CO RN - EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.) During the present week very few arrivals of English Wheat have taken place for our market coastwise. By land carriage scarcely any samples have come to hand. The attendance of buyers here to-day was small ; while the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's prices. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been confined to 7,610 quarters. Selected samples moved off slowly, at lull prices. The inferior kinds were dull in the ex treme, and rather lower to purchase. Foreign Barley continues to arrive. Several parcels were taken for grinding and shipment westward at previous rates. Malt was in short supply, and heavy demand, at unal tered currencies.. A large quantity of foreign Oats — upwards of 28,000 quarters--has come in. This had a depressing influence upon the trade, and prices had a downward tendency. Beans, Peas, and Flour dull, at late rates. Indian Corn was held for more money. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. Oats. I Floe. • 1,350 qrs. 740 qrs. 2,790 qrs. I 2,010 ski. English ......
