A renewed effort was made, at the half-yearly General Court of the Bank of England, held last week, to induce the directors and proprietors to change the determination they had come to six months previously with respect to the amount of rest, or the reserved fund, which it was desirable to maintain at the disposal of the corporation. That decision had not been arrived at on light or trivial grounds. It had been the sup jest of mature and at tentive consideration, and it was notorious that the directors had reluctantly yielded to the pressure from without in consenting to fix the amount at 3,000,0001 sterling. For the last half century the rest had never been suffered to fall much below that amount. It had constituted not only a fund to provide against any serious losses, or unexpected contingencies, but an important part of the working capital of the Bank. The large amount of the original capital which had b€ en lent to the nation, and which could not be made available, it being in fact the fund against which 1 the corporation were empowered to issue a certain i portion of their notes, and which, if invaded, should be replaced by bullion, diminished the amount of actual banking capital to a very low figure indeed, which would be utterly inadequate to supply the wants of the country and to carry on the business of the establishment, were it not for the additional means afforded by the rest. That reserved fund at all periods, more especially in seasons of monetary disturbance, formed the principal source from which the usual profits were realised. What would have been the condition of the Bank on the 234 of October, 1847, when the unemployed notes in the banking department amounted only to 1,1 76,740/ , if the rest had been pre viously reduced to 2,000,000/. as now desired ? The calamitous results of the crisis would have been far more deplorable than was actually the case, if so unwise and short-sighted a policy had been acted on during more prosperous periods. A general suspension of Payments might have been the necessary consequence, which would have placed the holders of Bank Stock in a fur different position from that which they have since occupied.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 20th have arrived. The Espana says that there was some intention of introducing postage stamps of twenty maravedis (about three-halfpence), and of allowing letters to go free by them all over the kingdom if paid in advance ; if not so paid, letters are to be subject to the present rate of postage. MADRID BOMA, SEPT. 20.--Threes, 28& ; Fives, 111; Exchange on London, 50 80. The mayoralty of Sir JAMES DUKE will be re markable for the hospitalities of which he has been not only the donor, but the recipient. The entertain.. ment given last week, in honour of the LORD MAYOR of London, by the Mayor of Manchester, was of a most interesting nature in all its details. It was a festival worthy the manufacturing celebrity of Man chester, and the commercial pride of England. The labours of the manufacturing districts are so much identified with our national prosperity, that the im portance and magnificence of the great capitals of these districts are matters of national pride and personal interest to all classes of the community. Equally significant and appropriate was the reproof bestowed on " Coningsby " (as every one remembers), when on that young representative of the new generation sigh ing for a visit to the Miditerranean, and exclaiming, " What would I not give to see Athens ?" it was wisely retorted, " Have you seen Manchester 7" The age of ruins is, indeed, past; Manchester is the city of the nineteenth century, and consequently a festival ! likethat which has just been celebrated is endued with more than a passing interest. As an evidence of the rapid developement of our commercial prosperity, the Mayor of Liverpool, in his speech on that occasion, remarked, that when the last Prince of WALES and his brother the Duke of CLARENCE visited Liverpool, on the 18th September, 1806, the tonnage of that port was 507,000 tons, and now in 1849 it is 3,600,000 tons ; this he believed would give credence to the fact that this seat of manufacture alone had added to the wealth of the country no less than one thousand millions B sterling.uisEN,who w Theas present Prussian at the b Ambassador, angu Cheva lierbanquet, w a 6 eloquent in his praises of Manchester do not erandE in n t g en la d n t d o . Speaking of the former, he said, , enlarge upon a topic known to the whole world, about the greatness of your skill and enter. prise, and the vastness of your stores. I have seen Manchester, and as everybody who has seen Manchester will say with me, and has said to me—all my ex pectations have been surpassed." He then more particularly commended the system adopted at the Penitentiary, believing it "to be a most important thing that the law which punishes should endeavour to reclaim those whom it has condemned." Speaking of England, the Prussian Ambassador, alluded to the memorable 10th of April, and added a hope, that before long, Prussia and all Germany would be equally unanimous in behalf of constitutional, civil, and religious liberty. " When we have emerged from our difficulties," he said, " which I hope we are fast doing, we shall run a race with you in many an enterprise of industry, commerce, and trade." To this intimation we most heartily respond—So be it England will joyfully welcome competitors in such a struggle. Chevalier BirNSEN'S sentiments have already been forcibly expressed by the poet CAMP BELL, when he wrote— ' The spirit of Britannia Invokes across the main Her sister Allemania To break the tyrant's chain. By one kindred blood, she cries, Rise, Allemanians, rise, And hallowed thrice the band Of our kindred hearts shall be When your land shall be the land Of the free—of the free!" That time, so dearly desired, we are now told is at hand, and in Germany we are henceforth to find a rival in the pursuit of liberty and the cultivation o PORTUGAL. Advices have been received from Lisbon of the 19th. Tl,e country was perfectly tranquil. A dis patch had been received from Turin, requesting that the body of CHARLES ALBERT might be permitted to remain at Oporto for the present. GERMANY PRUSSIA. The Second Chamber, has rejected the measure proposed by the Ministry for the placing the Burgher Guard in a state of non-activity, but has passed a measure directing all the arms issued by the Govern ment to the Burgher Guard to be returned. Accounts from Weimar state that the Duchess of ORLEANS is carrying on an active correspondence with England and France. HOLLAND. THE HACH:M.-4n the sitting of the Second Cham ber on the 22d, Mr. VAN THORNEEKE'S motion tG postpone the. proceedings till the reconstitution of the Cabinet was adopted.by 40 votes against 7. Nothing is yet known as to new ministerial combinations; many names are cited, but none with sufficient cer tainty to be relied upon.' The Constitutiosiai Correspondence gives the fol lowing additional particulars respectin g the robbery committed on the firm of Schaffhause n :—A libra rian at Berlin received a packet addressed to London, with the request that he would forward it, without delay, to that city. This packet having been opened by the police, was found to contain the stolen shares, to the amount of 43,000. The thief has not yet been taken. The Deutsche Zeitung says that the robbery of Schaffhausen Bank is a topic of lively dis cussion at Cologne. Pursuit is being made after a stenographer, formerly of Berlin, and after 'wards one of the editors of the West Deutsche Zeilung at Cologne. It is said that he employed. his younger brother, who was one of the clerks in the said firm, to steal the shares and forward them to him, and then for both to make their escape to foreign parts. The stenographer set out on the evening of the 17th inst. from Cologne; the followicg morning the clerk was reported sick, and did not make his ap pearance at the office. On the 19th, suspicions having been excited, investigations were made, and the robber was discovered. The clerk was no where to be found, but the police having given the necessary instructions, he was ar rested this evening, just as he was embarking on board a steamer. After having acknowledged his crime, he denounced his brother and other persons as accomplices. lie was accordingly locked up for the night. BELGIUM. The Moniteur ilelge publishes returns of the im ports and exports of Belgium in the first eight months of the present year. The following are the principal articles imported : Coffee 14,023,766 kilogrammes, raw cotton 11,338,941 kilos., wheat 25,600,316 kilos ., rye 8,360,156 kilos., wool 3,658,268 kilos., flax 1,965,369 kilos., rice 2,895,330 kilos., salt 18,780,818 kilos., sugar 12,279,5L6 kilos., to bacco 3,064,53.5 kilos. All these present consider able diminutions compared 7vith the imports of the same period of 1848. Among the exports in the first eight month of the present year were arms for 3,957,854 francs, coal 936,322 tons, cast iron in pigs 27.594 tons, 8,248,653 kilos. of refined sugar, 714,890 kilos. tissues of cotton, 479,890 kilos. wool. len cloths, 6,473,667 kilos. glass, 6,282,283 kilos. zinc, All these p resent a great increase over the exports of , the first eight months of 14. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS arrived at Antwerp on the 22d, and were received with every demonstration of respect and joy by the authorities, troops, and population. DUCHIES OF SCHLESWIG. The position of the Administrative Commission becomes every day more embarrassing in Soutl Schles w i g , and rumours are afloat —rumours ' authenticity o f which strongly 'require confirm the ation —that th e S tadtholderate intends to denouncre the armistice as soon as the limited time has e;cpired. THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. A letter from Vienna of the 20th says : " The state of siege will immediately be raised. It is very probable that in the next organization of Hungary there will be three distinct groups —that of Hungary, or the Magyar, properly so called, Transylvania and Scla vonia, and Servia. The Sclovacs of the north will, how ever, continue to be considered as Hungarians, and have even wished to be called such at present. " The second grand conference of the Council of Ministers takes place in presence of the Emperor at Schceobrun. After that the Emperor will proceed to Trieste, accompanied by Marshal Radetzky. The mar riager e cwtieldh. h i sC o Count ta n s t l h a e s Z P e r l i i n n s e k e y s s , sidonia of of th s e ax E e m i pr expected. a captain of Hulans, has been condemned to ten years' hard labour, for having betrayed the imperial cause." According to a letter from Acs, the negotiations with the fortress of Comorn have been completely broken off, and the Imperial troops are preparing for an assault upon the fortress. The actual siege is to commence during the course of the present week. 80,000 men, together with the best military equip ments and materials, are at the disposal of the com mander of the siege. Marshal GERARD, writing of Antwerp, said it would take 29 days to take that fortress by assault, after a regular siege. Field Marshal NUGENT, having far greater difficulties to sur mount, will require from 40 to 48 days .to take Comm. According to the Wanderer, a report is circulated in Vienna, that in consequence of the in tervention of RADETZLY, Comorn will capitulate on the same terms as Venice. Among the numerous conditions proposed by the Council of War of Comorn for the surrender of the fortress, is the de mand of an entire amnesty for the superior officers and civil functionaries of the fortress, and the con servation of their rank as officers. The insurgent Count LENANGE, it is said, has died of cholera at Arad. The Russian troops who occupied the mountain villages have been sent on to Comorn, and have been replaced by 3,000 men of the Sclavonian Landsturm. Count CHOWNSRT, Governor of Lower Austria, has published a notice, stating that the h ouse o f M. A. -ROTHSCHILD, of Frankfort, has been autho rised to receive subscriptions, securities, and pay. ments for the new Austrian loan. The Emperor of RUSSIA has offered to contribute largely to the new Austrian loan of sixty millions. The new paper money of 4i per cent. sold at the Bourse at 8.5 f to-day. I'he Minister of War bas decided that the Austrian fleet of Venice shall be transferred from Pola to Trieste, and that the command shall be given in the German language. It is said that a corps of observa tion similar to that at the Vorarlberg is to be esta blished at Bohemia. A regiment coming from Italy, and a battalion from Genie, and one from Innspruck, are marching for Bohemia. A letter from Trieste of the 17th, states that the EMPEROR is prevented by indisposition from paying that city a visit on the opening of the railway. KLAGENFURTH, SEPT. 18.—GEORGET, as has al ready been stated, arrived here on the 11th. He was seated in his own carriage, accompanied by his wire, his daughter, and Major ANDRESST. Immediately behind his carriage was a second, occupied by arquebuaieres. The whole party alighted at the hotel of the Imperial Crown. lie walks about the streets quite at liberty, accompanied only by his wife 'or the Major. Public curiosity is of course greatly excited wherever he appears. Ilc has expressed his intention of purchasing a country house in the neighbourhood of Klegenfurtb, where he may enjoy the sweets of retirement with his family, after a year of unwonted excitement. The Wanderer says that the Imperial army around Comorn have received orders to bombard the for tress, with every species of projectile, until it be destroyed. This is a lamentable resource, but it is the only one V% hid will make us masters of this last strong hold of the insurgents. An assault would in volve a useless sacrifice of the soldiers; and, more over, recent experiments have proved that the projectiles reach not only the city but also the for tress. It is no exaggeration to say that the siege of Comorn has already involved the cost of a whole cam paign ; . the bombardment, by means of the large bombs, cost each time as much as 64 florins. The last condi tions which the garrison proposed were as follows : Free egress for the whole garrison, with their arms, and liberty to retire to anypart of Hungary which they may think fit, The garrison is 3.5,000 strong. ITALY. Venice is a perfect solitude. Upwards of fifty thousand passports have been issued to families who -prefer the chances of exile to the certain wretchedness which is sure to he the lot of all who are condemned to groan beneath the leaden yoke of Austria. Not a single vessel is in the Lagunes, and the Place of St. Mark is deserted. rt trlt Xbition (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH The Granby Stakes of 30 sovs. each, &c.

NEWMARKET RACES. WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, The Stadtholderate, from motives of economy, has permitted nearly a third of the army to go on fur lough, but the men are required to hold themselves in readiness to join their corps at a moment's notice. The magistrates and citizens of Flensburg have addressed a memorial to the Commission, not yet published, in which they firmly declare that they will not submit to Danish authority, or ratify any acts that may hereafter be regarded as in dicating submission. At Tanning, as well as Ilusum and other districts, the magistrates firmly refuse to publish the decrees of the Commission and the KING'S proclamation ; and, moreover, what is more serious, it appears that the public receivers refuse to forward contributions, taxes, and dues to the Central Treasury at Flensburg, declaring these sums to be due and only payable to the Schleswig. Holstein Treasury at Rensburg. This is done under pretext of obeying certain old laws of the land (a marked contradiction), dating from 1719, 1723, and 1783. The Commission has replied in energetic language to these persons, and threatens the employment of force ; and further, has declared that those persons who - think proper to dis obey the Commission and obey the Stadtholderate must expect to be dismissed. But then comes another difficulty : no persons can be found to fill the vacant offices, so the recalcitrants must remain. It is really high time that the Prussian Government, as well as the guaranteeing or mediating power, should proceed to the ultimate arrangement of this question, or that they should leave the two parties to arrange the question between themselves, under the strict neutra lity of Prussia. A report is current that Denmark is not indisposed to join the triple alliance, includi ng Schleswig as well as Hol s t e i n i n the bond. ' This would obviate one difficulty, but will not satisfy the Schleswickers unless they obtain complete political independence. SWITZERLAND. The Revue de Geneve denies that any application has been made by the French Government to have the French refugees at Geneva sent into the interior of the country. The greater part of them are already, that journal states, dispersed through the states of the confederation. The Austrian Governmentbas, it is said, demanded the expulsion of MAZZIN I from Switzerland. DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

In Mark lane: to-day there is no alteration in the prices of grain. The Overland Mail from India has at length arrived, being some days overdue. The political intelligence she brings is of a satisfactory tenor, and the com mercial details, given in another column of The Sun, will be found encouraging likewise. A large business was doing in exports, and many articles of import had a fair sale. The weather, which had beentso dry in some parts as to occasion serious apprehensions of famine, was more favourable. * The letters by the Caledonia steamer, from the United States, have been delivered in due course. The Stock market had been much more buoyant, and there we., more activity in the Money market. The banks discounted freely, but more business papor was offering, and holders submitted to higher rates. Cspi tal, nevertheless, was expected to continue abundant at low rates for some time to come, but should the imports from Europe continue large, there might be some ship ment of specie. During the week ending the Bth in stant, there had been 76,000 dollars forwarded from New York, and during the previous two or three weeks silver only was imported. The New Orleans' report upon the Cotton trade for the year ending the Ist of September is interesting to a most extended circle in Europe, but we have only room for extracts. It is stated that— " Atni•ng the peculiarities that have marked the course of business during the past season, we may men tion the fact that the purchases, particularly those for Great Britain, have been speculative to a greater extent than usual, as most of the orders with fixed limits, though gradually advanced from time to time, were generally, below the range of our own market, and thus the purchases for England were mostly made by speculative shippers, or by those who, from the tenor of their orders, were at liberty to exercise some dis cretion in respect to prices. The quality of the Loui siana and Mississippi crops was much belowl the usual average, principally from the admixture of leafy par ticles, and thus the proportion of the receipts from those sections ranging above the good middling has been unusually small, and as fur really fine cottons they could only be met with in occasional very limited quantities. The bulk of the demand, however, has fallen upon the middling descriptions, and in the early part of the season, whey► the best cottons are received, and when they are usually more irquired for on the part of buyers for the continent of Europe and our northern ports, the better grades were comparatively neglected, and the difference in prico between middling and fair was reduced to 4to cent per lb. As the season advanced, however, the demand for the better qualities improved, and their comparative scarcity car- , ried the difference between middling and fair to 1e to 1 cent per lb., while on the still finer grades the varia tion was much greater. The receipts from Tennessee and Alabama were of unusually good quality, and embraced many crops that would compare favourably with the Iroduct of Louisiana and Mississippi. The total receipts at this port since Ist September last, from all sources, are 1,142,382 bales. This amount includes 51 585 bales received from Mobile and Florida, and from Texas by sea. (That portion of the Texas crop which reaches us vid Red River cannot be distin guished from the product of Louisiana.) Deducting from our total receipts the above amount received from Mobile, Florida, and Texas, the remainder shows our receipts proper to be 1,090,797 bales, or a decrease of 97,936 bales as compared with last year. The total exports during the same period are, 1,167,303 bales, of which 645,018 bales were shipped to Great Britain, 154,647 to France, 161,827 to the North and South of Europe, Mexico, &c.; and 205,811 to United States ports, including 2,300 bales Western States. Comparing the exports with those of last year, we find an increase of 13,E'9 bales to France, and of 7.526 to the North and South of Europe, &c., while to Great Britain there is a decrease of 9,005 bales, and of 44,662 bales to the United States ports. The total receipts at all the Atlantic and Gult ports, up to the latest dates received—as shown by our general cotton table —are 2,708,514 bales, against 2,325,108 bales to the same dates last year; showing an increase of 383,406 bales. This amount, however, it should be understood does not represent the actual crop of the Unit( d States, as this cannot be made until the full returns of receipts, exports, stock, &c., are concen trated at one point. For a se►ies of years the statement of the cotton crop has been made up by the New York Shipping and Commercial List; and should they retain the usual basis of their calculations, the actual crop will fall short of the receipts at the ports, as the stock at Augusta and llamburgh will be less than it was at the close of last year, and the difference between the two stocks wilt be deducted from the receipts, as belonging to the crop of last year. At all events the crop of 1848- 9 cannot vary greatly from 2;700,000 bales." By way of New York there are advices of July 20 from Buenos Ayres, but the contents are unimportant. Bolivia was still very distracted. From Canada we learn that the rate of exchange on London for 60 days was at 10 to 10i per cent. premium. The rates of freight to London were 3s. 9d. per barrel. At Quebec ashes were in demand and steady. Business was dull. The consumption of brandy has enormously increased during the present season, the extra quantity cleared in London from July 1 to September 20 being 165.986 gallons, and yielding to Government 124,4891 more than during the corresponding period of last y ear. The English Funds have been firmer, though ex tremely dull, owing to the strict Jews' holiday observed (this beina the day of the Atonern-nt). Consols are 92i for Trans•er,. and 92i for Account. Exchequer bills are 355. to 38s. premium. India Stock is 254 to 255. 1849 Great North of England.loo ........, .... Ditto, New, 40 1 ... 40 Ditto, ditto 35 -..•-••• Ditto, New, 301 3O - •• Ditto.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE ) • George 1% ieholls end Margaret James, described s$ servants out of place, were indicted for stealing a hos and contents, of the value of 201., the property of the Great Western Railway Company. Mr. CLARKSON conducted the prosecution, and stated that on the Ist of August last the prisoners, or at least one of them, came by the railway from Brinscorebe, iii Gloucestershire to the Paddington station, and btli amongst the luggage a box covered with a linen wrapper, corded, and h av i ng attached to it a large card with thl, direction " Mrs. James, Passenger," the usual reel ticket of the company, with a capital "d." and the words .. .Brills:combo to Paddington" p r inted on it, was pasted un the wrapper. There was' by the same train a passenger of the name of James, wbo wits in the employment of the company, and was accom panied in that trip, from Gloucester to Paddington, by his wife and family. Be had also, in the luggage, a be% protected like that of the prisoner, with a linen wrap' per, corded in a similar manner, but having appended to it a much small er car d t h an that used on the prisoner's box, with the address--" Mr. James, passenger,"—the red ticket on the wrapper having the same letter " but the words " Cheltenham to Paddington " inscribed on it. Acc or di ng to t h e evidence and the admission of the prisoners, Mrs. James, the prisoner, obtained at the terminus tho box belonging to Mr. James, leaving . ie its place her own much smaller one. Nicholls carried it away for her. In a week or so afterwards, the male prisoner called at the station to claim the box left by the female; when he was told that she had taken the box of another passenger, and must bring that back, before she could have her own. He said he would tell her so, and would return per sonally, but nothing more was seen of himk until about a fortnight ago, when Collard, the chief police inspector of the Great Western Railway, met him in Hyde-park-square. Mrs. James was soon after' wards met by Collard, on the way to the lodgings occu pied by the prisoners, who lived together, and nearly the. whole of th e con t ents of the box, which cons i ste d o f clothing and ornaments, were found there, and identified by Mr. and Mrs. James, the owners. The ASSISTANT JUDGE observed that it had been laid down by the judges, in recent decisions, that if a wee found a purse containing 1,000 guineas in the public road, and applied ever of felonyshillin ; and, shilling of it to his own use, he could not be held guilty in eases analogous to the one before the Court, that if a person found any thing, and afterwards appropriated it to his own use. well knowing it to belong to another, it could not be deemed a f elonious taking, SS it mi g ht be that he only took it up at first to examine it, and see what it was. In the present case the female prisoner did not take the box from amongst the rest at the station. It was given to her by the servants at the station, upon her description; the first mistake was theirs, not hers; and in this case, notwithstanding the excellence of the arrangements, the mistake was made. It was not clear that Nicholls knew anything about the mistake, if the woman did, at first. But they were both entitled to any doubts the case presented upon this point. The jury, after a short consultation, Acquitted the prisoners, but on the application of Mr. Clarkson, the Learned Judge allowed all the expenses of the prose cution, observing that the conduct of the company and all their servants had been perfectly correct in all its proceedings. WEST sUiticEY ELECTION. GUILDFORD, TUESDAY NIGHT.—This being the first of the two du)s appt,inted for polling the constituency of West Surrey, Guildford, end the six other places where the votes of the electors are usually recorded, have been thrown into a state of untntual bustle and excite ment. The strength of the Liberal and Tory interest is so nearly baNnced, and there has been so much time for developing to their fullest exttnt the resources of either party, that a hot contest was confidently expo cted, nor has that expectation been disappointed, as will be seen from the following return of the state of the poll at 4 o'clock:— Guildford Goda!ming Farnham Dorking , • Chobhtun Chertsey Epsom Eckel]. ... 183 ... 124 162 Eve]) n. 297 99 100 147 130 195 173 ••. 141 ••. 232 ... 113 996 - 1,141 Majority for Evelyn . . -145 The total number of votes thus polled has been 2,137, and, the constituency being about 3,600, there probably remain about 800 or 1,000 electors who have still to record their saffrages to-morrow. The nomination went off so quietly, and both parties expressed so earnest a desire to avoid an)thii g that could excite acrimony, that no one ever dreamt that the public peace would be broken at any future stage of the proceedings. Up to 4 o'clock, when the polling for the day ceasi d, there was no sign of a quarrelsome dis position evinced on either aide. A crowd, of course, was cell. cred in the Eigh-street, and under the stimu lating influence of be. r, the names of the rival candi dates were shouted out, with the usual wish that, like the King of old, they might live for ever. Each party also had its band of musicians and its flagbearers, who paraded the streets, making a frightful noise, but seriously alai ming no one. The ladies of Guildford exhibited themselves in perfect security at their windows and balconies, each evincing by a smart rosette her political leanings. There was plenty of ex citement, but it was the good-humoured constitutional feeling exhibited in the customary way, and nothing more. It so happened, however, that the head -quarters of the rival candidates were in the White Hart and Crown hotels, which stand directly opposite to each other.

First they were of rather a harm less character, such as pieces of stale bread, and other substances nut likely to give a severe•blow. By degrees harder materials were employed, and a few panes of glass were broken. The smashing sound with which the glass gave way seemed to act like a charm upon the mob, and for the test of the evening they gave vent to their excitement by steadily pursuing this amuse ment. The partisans of Mr. Evelyn of course directed their attention to the windows of his opponent's hotel, while those of Mr. Edgell paid them back in kind by shivering nearly every pane of glass in the front windows of the White Ilart which they could reach with their missiles. Finding that small stones did not answer their purpose, the belligerents took to brickbats, and eventually to flowerpots, a row of which happened to stand invitingly near. The whule constabulary force . that could be mustered to quell this disturbance con sisted of four or five men.

At a late hour this morning intelligence was received from Guildford that Mr. Edgell had retired from the contest. 297 - 1 1 TRADE OF KIRYALDY.--FLA X IMPORTATION.." The shipping franc at the harbour fora Sew weeks has been in a very animated state on account of the 'aro quantity of flax imported, chiefly from the ports of Rigs, St. Petersburgb, and Archangel. The consumption of flax in our spinning -factories has been unusually large this season, in cons( quence of an increased demand for arns to supply the foreign market. The export of yarns on a great scale is comparatively new, and is, we rear, one which our spinners may find to be of the same uncertain or temporary nature as formerly. The home trade, however, is still in a very healthy and flourishing state.—Fijeskire Journal. Mr. WTyid, M.P. for Bodmin, who has taken the place of Mr. T. S. Duncombe, M.P., in the agitation for a 14 gislative superintendence of coal•mines, addressed a large open air meeting of pitmen en the Black Fell, Gateshead, on Saturday last. Resolutions were adopted m favour of a measure to enforce sufficient ventilation, and also of a combination to resist reductions of wages, and ensure employment to all miners who tire willing to work, 111111omm..
