ROYAL LYCEUM THE A.T RE. - TIIIS EVENING, and every evening during the W eek, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing variety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex- Pected denouements; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to bo is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Theatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he has been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art nas at any time or in any place been • honoured with an amount of saccess so extensive, so decided; and so unusual. He would attribute that 'success t, three causes; first, that in his presententertainncenner has . pifeelbeftnis lii'visiars • the results of a life sedulously devoted to the attainment of Perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has snared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day; and thirdly, that, w hile endeavouring to provide amusement for those Who honour him with their presence, lie has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where: ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts,. in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the Credulous. The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson' has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which his resulted, Profeesor Anderson's exposé of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex- Pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the Communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen Who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions oe spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can be made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this Public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only anode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. Tie regrets that the -sines of the great and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20; and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is sorely puzzled at what he has Witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to be thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the 'elution of the phenomena; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the sp irits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved to be too much of a ques tion for them to master." liireD. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of ' , deo, and what he is; occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations Without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offeredhim 2.000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum iu New York. Barnum then took it for granted that medium , could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for lie was poor, young (under 20), - un or- Phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and he would sooner lose his life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. Re inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest 'humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is site of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whoa aright be supposed - to be sane. Even if Barnum does believ( in spirit-rapping—does spirit-rapping gain or lose be this accession to its adherents? and, with Barnum's endorse went to it, is this bill; _drawn on public 'credulity, more likel3 to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross swindle, when he fine% that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively assorts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it to be time for Lim to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the -Morning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel. in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that Writ-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad Purposes. In the MOrnirig Advertiser of the following day however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one Who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their fiance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves tea be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" has actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of tho spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England _as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. ' - In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,--a larger number, it is believed, than has ever before been assembled within its walla in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. ing, the programme being continually changed. Grand fashionable Day Performance, or Saturday, December 8, at 2 o'clock ; the programme being thus arranged ; Part 1. —Act 1. The Mesmeric Couch : or, the Clinical Capabilities of the Atmosphere : in which the Wizard will do by magic that which some suppose to be effected by mesmer ism, and illustrate the possibility of sleeping unsupported in the air. Act 2. The Aqua-Avial Paradox ; exemplifying the power of producing animated nature from fire and water only, and the possibility of eliciting from the simplest elements the most complex forms of ornithological existence. Act 3, 'Le Livre des Reeueils Choisies : or, Puck's Own Pocket Book, with Puck himself within it. Typifying the evening's entertainment in the production of the very volu minous from a small volume, in the extraction of magnitude out of minuteness, in developing bulk where no space appears for its existence, in discovering odd things in odd places, and in bringing forth unexpected wonders from the most unlikely place for to be found. Act 4. Magical Locomotion ; or, Transition without Trou ble. In which will be comprised—the Adventures of a Wed ding Ring, the Peregrinations of a Bank Note, the Transfor mation—black into white, and the Discovery of every Article in the position which would seem the most inappropriate. Act 5. L'Ecrin de Verse ; or, the Casket of Crcesus. Into which, though made entirely of glass perfectly transparent, and suspended so as to be visible to the eyes of all present, the Wizard will cause the money of his visitors to trans Port itself, and rain into the casket , though its lid be closed, locked, and the key in the possession of the audience. Act 6. Clairvoyance Extraordinary ; or, the Transparency of Opacity. Act. 7. A New Bottle of Bacchus ; or, the Novel Wine and Spirit Store. An improvement upon the " inexhaustible bottle," - inasmuch as the Wizard's bottle will not only be in exhaustible, but will change its contents, ad infinitum, at the word of command, producing soda-water, butter-milk, Epsom salts, Port, Sherry, brandy, gin, rum, whisky, noyoau, or any other wine or spirit required ; and finally proving to be filled with pocket handkerchiefs perfectly dry, and occupying the whole space when tightly or packed. ose of Act 8. Half an Hour with the Spir its ; ,an Exp Spirit-rapping. Introducing the spirit-rapping table and tocsin of the invisibles. Act. 9. Grand Mystic Amalgam, in which the property of the -Wizard's patrons will undergo some strange metamor phoses,' and, amongst others, their handkerchiefs become transformed into the flags of victory—the banners of Eng land, France, Turkey, and Sardinia. Act. 10. The Enchanted Chair of Comus, in which he who seats himself will be under the magic spell, and appear to the atudience, under circumstances least expected, in a posi tion as peculiar as perplexing. Act. 11. The Mystery of the Charmed Chest ; or, the Nucleus of the Night's Wonders. To comprehend which the audihnce will have the goodness to observe, in an earlier part of the evening, the chest suspended (like Mahommed's coffin) in mid-air, into which all things will travel, and out of which all will be produced. Act. 12. The Homological Evaporation ; or, the Shortest Route to the Antipodes. Illustrating the easiest mode of ring ourselves of a troublesome friend, and the advantages of the newly-disegvered dia-terrestrial passage from the west ern to. the eastern hemisphere.

It strengthens, nourishes, and is used with more advantage than milk in rearing infants. We quote a few testimonials :—No. 58,034, Grammar School, Stevenage, Dec. 16, 185 J.

Dear Sir, — Our baby, which Heaven presented us with ten months back, was attacked, when four weeks old, with a disease of the stomach and glands, by which our seven previous infants bad all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined to follow its sisters and brothers before many clays, for our doctor, a very able practitioner, had, clarit , three weeks, ex hausted all his skill, and was at a loss what to prescribe next, when lie advised Da Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which, I am happy to say, worked a great change for the better in a few days ; and, in six weeks time, the child was perfectly well, and is now a cheerful, blooming boy -_a source of the greatest happiness to us all.

Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert and his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge, was conducted by the Lord Chamberlain, the Treasurer of the House hold, the Vice-Chamberlain, and the Controller of the Household, from her apartments to the Throne Room. Her Majesty wore the Kirtle, Mantle, Hood, and gold-enamelled Collar of the Garter, and also wore a magnificent diadem of diamonds. The long mantle of the - Queen was borne by the Pages of Honour in Waiting. Prince Albert and • the Duke of Cambridge both appeared in the Mantle and Hood of the Garter, and also wore the Collar of the Order. The Queen was conducted to a Chair of State of imperial purple velvet, richly carved and gilt, placed at the head of the table, a little in advance of the throne, which is canopied with crimson vel vet, having the national badges of the three king doms embroidered in gold. . The Knights of the Carter, with the officers of the Order, entered the Throne Room and took their seats at the table, the senior Knights nearer the Queen. The table was covered with purple velvet, with a deep border of gold lace and bullion fringe. The Prelate of the Order stood on the right hand of the Queen, the Chancellor on the left, and the Registrar, Garter, and Black Rod at the bottom of the table. The Bishop of 'Oxford, Chancellor of the Order, read a new statute dispensing with existing statutes in as far as may be required for the especial pur pose therein mentioned, and ordaining and declar ing that his Majesty Victor Emmanuel, King of Sardinia, be declared a Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, any statute, rule, or usage to the contrary notwithstanding. His 1113jesty, by command of the Queen, was conducted from his apartments to the Chapter, or Throne Room, between their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and the Duke of CAmbridge, the two Senior Knights Companions, prceeded by Garter (bearing the ensigns of the Order upon a velvet cushion) and by Black Rod. The King wore the uniform of a Sardinian Ge neral—dark blue, with silver appointments, and was attended by the Ministers and officers of his Court. _ _ _ Her Majesty the Queen and the Knights of the Garter received the King standing, and his Ma jesty was conducted to a seat in a chair of state placed on the right hand of the Sovereign. The Queen announced to the King of Sardinia that his Majesty had been elected a Knight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. Garter King of Arms kneeling presented the "Garter" to the Queen, and her Majesty, assisted by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, buckled it on the left leg of his Majesty, the Chancellor pro nounced the following. admonition : "To the honour of God Omnipotent, and in memorial of the blessed Martyr St. George, tie about thy leg, for thy renown, this noble Garter, wear it as the symbol cf the most illustrious order, never to be f:n.gotten or laid aside, that thereby thou may'st be admonished to he courageous, and having undertaken a just war, in which tl-iou shalt be engaged, t ion mav'et stand firm, valiantly fight, and succes,fully conquer." Garter King of Arms presented in like manner the Riband having the George suspended, and the Queen, assisted by his Roy aCHighness the Prince, placed the same over the left shoulder of his Ma jesty, the Chancellor pronouncing the usual admo nition. Her Majesty the Queen then gave the Accolade to the King of Sardinia, and his Majesty received the congratulations of Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge, and also of each of the Knights of the Garter present. The Chapter being ended, the Knights Com panions were again called over by Garter, and, with the officers of the Order, retired from the pre sence of the Queen with the usual reverences. The Queen accompanied the King to his apart ments, followed by Prince Albert, the Duke of Cambridge, and the Gentlemen of the Sardinian Court. The Queen's Court was attended by the Duchess of Sutherland, Mistress of the Robes; the Duchess of Wellington and Lady Macdonald, Ladies in Waiting ; Viscount Sydney, Captain of the Yeo men of the Guard ; Lord Dutterin Lord in Wait ing ; Mr. F.

N. Hood, Groom in Waiting to her Majesty, were in attendance on the King of Sardinia during the Chapter of the Garter. A guard of the Hon. Corps of Gentlemen at Arms was in attendance on her Majesty the Queen at the Chapter Room, under the command of the Right Hon. the Captain. A special guard of honour of the Hon. Corps, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Topham, the Lieutenant, was in attendance upon his Majesty the King of Sardinia at his apartments and at the Chapter-rooin. The Yeomen of the Guard were on duty in the Music-gallery, and on the Grand Staircase, under the command of Captain Macdonald. A guard of honour of the Grenadiers, with the band of the regiment, was on duty within the Castle quadrangle during the ceremony. Her Majesty's footmen in state liveries lined the vestiblue. At 5 o'clock the Corporation of 'Windsor arrived at the Castle to present a congratulatory address to the King of Sardinia. The Corporation was headed by the Mayor, Mr. James Brown. There were present—the Recorder, Mr. A. M. Skinner ; Aldermen Blunt, Twinch, Berridge, and Adams ; Councillors Clode, Hous den, Phillips, Holderness, Layton, Cantrell, Bed borough, Cleave, Oliver, Harris, Driver, Nixon, and Finch ; the Town-Clerk, Mr. Henry Darvill ; and the Chaplain, the Rev. H. P. Ellison. The Corporation was conducted to tho Music gallery, and was afterwards ushered into the Re ception-room, iu which the King received the deputation. His Majesty was attended by the Marquis d'Azeglio, his Minister at this Court, Lord Byron, j and Colonel the Hon. A. N. Hood. The Recorder read the address to the King, and the Mayor presented it to his _Majesty. The King was graciously pleased to return the following answer I am extremely touched at the mark of sympathy which you have been pleased to present to me from the corporation of Windsor on my visit to her Majesty your gracious Queen. . " The flattering sentiments and eulogiutns which you have conveyed on behalf of your fellow-townsmen for the part. which my troops have taken in the deeds of arms which have already rendered so illustrious the, allied flags are. dear to nay heart. - _ " The cause which is being decided at this moment on Her Majesty's guests on a visit to the Castle, the Knights of the Garter, the Ministers, and the nobility and gentry who had been honoured with invitations, met in the Grand Reception Room. On dinner being announced the Queen, °end ucted by the King of 'S trdinia, proceed,d to the Hall, preceded by'the Great Officers of the Household ; the Royal personages came immediately after their ltj . e t tizAt t y f l:b kenoral company followed from. t to the Queen and King in the Hall the band com menced playing the " Fanfare Sarde." Her Ma jesty took her seat in the middle of the north side of the table, having the King of Sardinia on her right hand. His Majesty wore the Insignia of the Order of the Garter. His Royal Highness, Prince Albert sat opposite the Queen, having the Royal Duchesses on either side. Behind the Royal party on each side were stationed a special guard of her Majesty's Hon. Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, under the command of. the Lieutenant. A body of the Yeomen of the Guard were posted at each end of the hall. All the gentlemen appeared in full uniform, court or official costume. The banquet was served with the g reatest magnificence. The service was entirely of gold plate ' • down the centre of the table throughout the whole length were a succession of the most beautiful vase ; epergnes, wine coolers, and candelabra, all in gold plate. Some of the vases were adorned with artificial flowers. Immediately before the Queen was placed the St. George's Candelabrum. This is of large size and noble proportions, and bears 12 waxlights ; on the base are figures of the infant Mars, and it is en riched with national emblems and badges. The whole is crowned by a statuette of the saint on horseback in combat with the dragon. In addition to the great number of beautiful articles appropriated to the service and decoration of the table two large and lofty buffets were erected at each end of the hall, lined with crimson, for the display of the more artistic and ornamental specimens of gold plate and articles of vertu in 'the Royal treasury. On these were displayed the shield presented by the King of Prussia to his godson, the Prince of Wales. The shield of Achilles, designed by Flak , man ; a very large salver, the border of which was designed by Flaxinan ; the National Cup, sur mounted by St. George ; Cellini's Nautilus Cup'; two ivory cups, carved by Cellini ; two crystal cups, presented by Queen Charlotte to her son George the Fourth on his coming of age, the solid gold salver, made by order of George the Fourth ; some jewelled tankards, bulb cups, and a large golden box of East India workmanship.

"ALICE GRAY" IN BIRMINGBAM• The neighbourhood of the Police-office in Birmingham was crowded yesterday m Tning with persons anxious to obtain a sight of this notorious impostor. At 11 o'clock Mr. Chas. Shaw and Dr. 'Nielson, the magistrates of the day, took their seats upon the bench, and shortly after wards " Alice" was placed at the dock. She appeared perfectly cool and collected, and took her seat upon the bench usually occupied by prisoners awaiting examina tion. Mr. Shaw—Let the prisoner stand up. Prisoner—l am not alole, I'm so ill. She was accordingly allowed to remain seated. Mr. T. Harding then said he had the honour to ap pear on the part of the prosecution. The prisoner was charged with wilful and corrupt perjury, in having , on the 11th of October last, sworn that a man named John • Mutlow had robbed her of her cloeuts and a considerable sum of money. The innocence of the accused was placed beyond all doubt. Mr. Bartlet, of Wolverhampton, was instructed to defend the prisoner, but that gentleman had, in an interview which he had had with Mr. Ste phens, the chief superintendent of police, the previous evening, consented to a remand until Saturday. At the present moment Mr. Stephens was not prepared with the evidence necessary to substantiate the charge, and the adjournment of the case would be convenient to all parties. (He (Mr. H.) might also state, that during the morning a telegraphic communication had been received from the Lords of the Treasury directing that the pri soner should be conveyed to Wolverhampton, where another charge would be preferred n.gainst her for per jury committed in the county of Stafford. Under these circumstances be applied for a remand until Saturday, when he should be fully prepared to prove the accusation now made against the prisoner, Mr. Stephens, chief superinteneent of police, being sworn, deposed to the facts stated by Mr. Harding, and the arrangement he had made with Iktr. Bartlet, the pri soner's solicitor. Mr. Shaw—Prisoner, we accordingly remand the fur ther hearing of the case against you until Saturday. Prisoner--Very well ; I think I'll. be well tried and purified at last. Mr. Stephens—Take the prisoner away. Prisoner (on being removed)—l don't see my friend, the Rev. Mr. Morris , hero. Mr. Stephens—Go on. Prisoner—No, I won't go. Give me anythi ng lout a Divine. The prisoner was then taken below, and d ur i ng th e anasconvoyed to Wolv(lhatupt on, w h ere s h e wfitieir undergoexamination upon the ch arge re f erre d to ano , m w in the communication from the T.?easury. In the course of yesterday, and previous to her intro duction into the police-court, ‘, AH,,,, u 0 sat for her por trait—for police pure )se a 4 it , was understood—to a photographic artist. She willingl y acceded to the re quest of the authotitieß, and so arranged her person and Figure, with frnk in hand, as to give the limn er the licit opportunity of taking a nurect and characteristic like ness. Should the charge at Wob.erhampton fail, she will be brought before the magistrates in Birmingham on Saturday. . -.- PRUSSIAN SPIRITS Boar,' .3 Gazette, of Berlin, states that the suppr. ssi n of the 8 sport duty on spirits which - has (ft', ted in Prusi is will likewise take place in. the other eta es o' the Zoilv rein. The_Prussian Government, it says, had,cow . ttojismiaexationiiPg WWI those states before pi omuigat - ,lng ;11e late decree. Though England was rich 'in natural resqurces, she wag 1 subject to visitations of dire distress, and this was mainly attributable to a monetary systein vicious in principle and intquitous in operation. .Look whew thy. e4ig4t , there were evidences of the extreme difficulty' of selling • goods and of employing labour. There iwere. r e ve r y W M e re . symptoms of a fierce, com petition.; there was a per petdal pinch on` price 'and prate and the foot of the buyer was on the neck of the seller. The present cue rancy laws should be at once repealed, and an attempt should be made to establish an equilibrium between the quantity of money and the quantity of goods. He had a great respect ler the , imes, and he knew of no other paper which had rendered such essential service to the people of England; bat he did not approve all its pro ceedings, and least of all did he concur in the pr ipriety of the course which it had taken an the currency ques tion. The Times sang'n, hymn of joy last month because the 4th day of the month— that on which bills 'aretteually payable—had passed viithout witnessing any large in solvency, AS if our monetary system was to be applauded not because it was operative of good, but because once in a way it was not productive of positivecalamity. The T:mes always looked anxiously out for the 'arrivals of gold, and if the precious meth's were detained it recommended mer chants and buyers generally to be very cautious, and to limit their purehases 7 -forgetting that to limit pur chases meant to limit - life, for the first right of the labourer was to be allowed to live by his toil. He (gr, Salt) was for establishing a legal tender money and regulating the issue ; and the rule should be that money should be issued till every honest labourer had found full employment at remumrative prices. (Laughter.) If money were sufficiently abundant they might take his word for it .that labour would be fully and completely employed. He would not have an excess or deluge of paper, but it should be so regulated as to keep the quantity of money and the liower Of exchanging it in strict proportion with the labour to be engaged and the quantity of goods to be consumed. Mr. TAYLOR, Of prottingham, suppoeted the rewla-. tion, saying that there was to be a public !meeting in that town upon the question, and that a Parliamentary in ci uir* Int , the workite of th 4,oavotPllol4Nvs.s_ required. t f. last evening, t i sonncpfo h,c)coaht otruim: our monetary bwtrn emo:A6 a ior dce t er: thetoa, e.

The CRAIRMAN said that the object of this meeting was not to consider the policy of the war. However glorious, war was, • at all times, attended with horrors which could not be exaggerated. But • the question for the traders and merchants of London was, how it happened that this great war should -be attended with horrors of such kind, that they sapped, the very foundation of our national industry ? The question would come, how was it that out trade, which in January last was Buffering from a. collapse,* arising,-as was said, from the uncertainty of affairs in the Crimea, and from the horrible sufferings of our army there, and which soon after that period experienced a gradual improve ment, during the months of January, February, March, April, and up to July, until a tide of prosperity; in every branch of productive industry, set in, such as had scarcely ever before been experienced in the his tory of our great country—how was it, that in July and August again uncertainty and the fear of ap proaching dangers seemed to prevail—how was it that the orders received from foreign countries suddenly, in the beginning of S4rtember, were withdrawn, re . ducat, or cancelled—how was it that the retail trade of England began to,feel the effects of that tremor which then affected the commercial atmOsphere—hew was it that large. .warehetisernen, with their et ankir ire hand, began to feel,- by pad experiencs, that the dernend ennui daily lessening—hew was it that the manufsieturers thxtonsisaante thiskingdoin a:adds/eV discovtirag.. ttitet reteeel goods they had been producing for several mouths began to hang upon hand, and could not be sold except at re duced and sometimes ruinous prices-chow was it that within a perio 1 of seven weeks the hopes of E gland, in regard to its commerce and tnerchaediae, and its inter nal trade mere especially, were made to decline, in the manner which he had thus described ! ? (Cheers.) This was the question for the consideration of the meeting. They found now that manufacturers were obliged to give notice to their workpeople of a reduction of wages, and that the population of the manufacturing towee, instead of being cheerfully at work, were unable to live, in these hard times, upon the reduced wages allowed for the subsistence of themselves and families. Such was the scene presented by Manchester at this mo ment.' The great social 'problem, which it was for the present meeting to attempt to solve, was the cause which had produced, out of the most complete and hopeful prosperity, within three months, a condi tion of adversity such as was perfectly appalling. Lord Palmerston had lately declared that commerce was the great mine of national resources, by which armies and navies were furnished for the war. But he could not mean to say it was necessary that commerce should sustain such privations as these for the purpose of car rying on warfare. If it were so, could the resources of commerce be depended upon, liable to such great priva tions? The nation was oilier wealthy when the great mass of its labour was profitably employed, and whilst there was a sufficiency of the means of payment for the daily work which was done. It was not a rapid rise of the prices of foreign produce—it was not a busy activity in Mark-lane, or in Mincing-lane, which indicated the prosperous condition of the nation. Nor was it always the state of our money market, fir there might be a large amount of d money, whilst the nation was suffering for want of a proper application of it ; and when tke channels of industrial enterprise were stopped, we' might .find Consols rising, because men had not the opportunity of investing their capital in productive industry, and so they invested in the national securities and raised their price above the natural level. The principle which he would lay down was,' that an abundance of money, at a moderate price, was essential to the well-being of society. Every news paper, and every authority in the kingdom, declared unequivocally that the cause of our present depression was the withdrawal of ascertaha quantity of gold from the Cellars of the 13ank.of England. All the distress which we were suffering, and with which we were threatened, was traced by some parties to the sieiple fact that an amount of bullion not exceeding four mil lions had been withdrawn duriug the la-t four or five mouths from the Bank of England. Now, how did this' work ? The amount of notes issued by the Bank of England, with the provincial, Scotch, and Irish banits, was about 42 to 44 millions, These notes depended for their convertibility upon the quantity of gold in the cellars of the Bank of England. That quan tity vas now about 11 millions ; so that four miiliona of notes rested upon one million of gold ; and upon each million of notes rested from four to five millions of hills of eicchange. So that each million of gold in the Bank of England sustained a circulating currency of from 18 to 20 millions. Thus the withdrawal of one million endan gered, or disturbed, the circulation of at least 20 millions ; and the four millions of gold withdrawn disturbed the circulation of the large amount of 80 millions of currency, upon which the welfare of the country depended. But this, was not all the mischief. The banks in Scott tnd'did not ;depend entirely upon a golden basis, but they were compelled, by the act of 1814, to have in their possession .a certain quantity of gold, beyond the maximum issue at a particular date returned to the House of Commons. Thcise Scotch banks, in consequence of having faith in the credit of a large number of their clients, had issued notes considerably beyond that limit ; and they were compelled to hold gold for every note which they issued beyand that limit. The result was, that at present Ultra wasi no less than 1,250,0001. value of gold held by the banks in Scotland, which they did not require, and would rather be without. They had offered to Government to tuke, instead of that gold, consols, or other state secu rities, or anything which was really exchangeable and of value, and to give back to the Bank of England that which the Bank of England required, the gold which they held, and for the want of which our commerce was starving. Now, the arrival of a million of gold from Australia was enough to rai-e the price of Consols 1/ or 2 per cent. ; and why, therefore, should not the same advantage be gained by bringing one million from Scot land, where it was much nearer home, and not at all required, into the coffers of the Bank of England ? Yet this inflexible law still injured the banks of Scotland, by obliging them to retain a million and a quarter, for which they obtained 'no interest, and which was kept away from England, where it was so much needed. He then complained that the variations in the rate of discount, which were caused by the prevent system, ex cited a gambling spirit amongst the mercantile commu nity. On the Ist Sept. last he said the rate of discount was 31 per cent., and Consols stood at 91. Within seven weeks from that time the rate of discount was raised to 7 per cent., and Consols came down to a little above 86. Now what was the amount of loss which this difference created in the value of our funded property? The amount of; our funded property was close upon 800 millions, and 4 per cent, upon that gave us a difference of no less than 32 millions sterling caused within seven weeks. What was the effect upon our railway property ? Taking 26 of our largest railways he discovered that on the averne the difference in the value of their shares during the seven weeks was nearly 10 per cent. We had almost 300 millions sterling invested in railway works, and if the loss were to be taken at . only 8 per cente•there was a diminution in the value of our railway property within seven weeks to the amount of, twenty-four millions sterling._ Itiewas estimated, moreover, that we hid engaged, in manufacturing and commerc ial enter prise, a capital equal to 600 millio ns sterlin g . Now, everybody who had commodities to s ell must know that the difference between selling iu Au g ust last and selling now the produce of the national industr y would be at least 10 to 12/ per cent., if on e were to be compelled now to go into the market. But , estimatin g the loss upon the same basis as that upon the railway shares, there was an aggregate difference of 48 millions sterling upon the value of that kind of property. In other words, he discovered within seven weeks, in our funded pro perty, railway property, and commercial property of various kinds, the terrific reduction ,of one hundred and four millions sterling, -a sum nearly tea times the value of ail the gold in the coffers of the Bank of England ! It might be argued that because all this' property was not to • be realised now, therefore the loss was not sustained, and the nation was none the poorer, because the same dividends were pay able on Consols as before. But if Consols at 1001 per cent. wore to be taken as' evidence of the na ion's prosperity, he was justified in taking their lowest price as an indication of the ration's adversity ; and those in dividuals who were obliged to sell did suffer to the ex tent he had described, by the operation of a law over which they had no control. After a comparison of the proportions which the amount of the currency bore to our population at different periods from 1815 to the pre sent time, he referred to the immense increase of our trading transactions, which, he said, had been multiplied at least fivefold since the year 1819 ; so that according to the proportion then observed, they now required a circulation of at least 100 millions sterling. He observed that the act of 1819, and the act of 1844, equally failed to attain their object, to secure the convertibility of the bank note ; that the existing' legislation upon this subject ought therefore to be amended or swept away ; and that it was necessary to provide some circulating medium which should not be liable to such disastrous fluctuations. Lieut.-Col. MACDONALD then moved the first resolu tion:—"That the meeting is of opinion that then xisng laws for the regulation of our currency have pduc ti ed, and are calculated to perpetuate, great and frequent fluctuations in the amount of the circulating medium, and thereby to produce periodical panics and pressures on the money market highly prejudicial to trade and com merce, destructive to productive industry, and ruinous to national prosperity. Mr. T. C. SALT, of Birmingham, seconded the rerolu tion, observing that the laws which regulated the cur rency were the most mischievous enactments on the sta tute book, and would appear. to have been devised by men who were alike destitute of sense and of humanity. The criminality of the Government on this subject was only to be equalled by the ignorance of the 'ptiOplo; 111r.LocKuAnT expressei his doubts whether the value of property had really been affected to such an extent as the chairman described; he attributed such crises to over speculation, or to the monopoly of capital, and approved of the Limited Liability Act, although it would have been'better not to halie required that the shares should be each of the amount of 10/., because that requirement would exclude Vie labouring man. Ile had prepared an amendment, declaring that" the large efflux of gold re cently was clearly traceable to the wants of the armies and navies engaged in war, and that the only effectual remedy was to stop the war ; but seeing that the feeling of the meeting was against nal, he would not•propose that amendment. • The resolution was then carried. Mr. J. DUNCAN, who said this meeting was to be im mediately followed by the holding of a congress to dis cuss the whole question, and that the expose of the meeting would be entirely defrayed by Mr. H. Ingram, having addressed the meeting for some time, moved the second resolution :—" That no system of currency can be satisfactory that doie not restore gold to its natural cha racter as a c ,mtnodity, so that it may find its value under the natural laws of supply and demand." Mr. E CAPPS seconded the motion, and congratulaied the meeting on the fact'that She Times was prepared to go with them, at least to a certain point, for in its City Article of October 26 he found this pas-iage :—" At that period (meaning 1844) the paper circulation of the coon - ry was nearly the same as at present, and consisted partly in notes of the Bank of England, and partly in those of joint-stick and private banks. Suppo4ing this circulation to be required solely for internal commerce, ► o nec. ssity could exist for gold being held for any por tion of it. (Hear.) A deposit fur Government Stock, or the fact of it- being receivable Br duties, would at ail times keep it from fluctuating in value. (Hear, hear ) Whatever might be thought of the soundness of the general views respecting a deposit of Government Stock a question which he had his doubts on, hut• which would admit of c - msideration —he could, at all events, say that ho cordially concurred in the pro priety of making it receivable for duties as suggested by the Times. Ho could not, ho,vever, agree with that great organ of public opinion in thinking that the sys tem established in 1814 had by any means accomplished the doctrine of Sir R. Peel, that the currency should at all times, and under all circumstances, maintain the same intrinsic value ; on the contrary, be believed that the Bank Charter Act had completely failed is that ob- Jerlt. But if the present monetary system were changed and another substituted founded on the present resolu tion' how, it - might be asked, would we manage with our foreign trade I It was said that foreigners would not take our notes. He hoped that they would not— (" Htar," and laughter)—for then we should remain in quiet possession of our own instruments of exchange. (Hear.) The balances should; of course, be paid iu gold, but at the market price of gold, and not at a fixed mint price. (Hear.) Mr. E. VANSITTART NEALE moved the last resoliation, as follows :--" That such national paper money may be issued under conditions calculated to remove the objec tions usually urged against paper money, and that it be referred to a congress to discuss the system of currency which might conveniently be adopted." This resolution having been seconded and agreed to, the proceedings ended. Naval and Military Intelligence. ----- The transport Durham, No. 179, has arrived at Wool wiCh Arsenal, with condemned stores from the East, last from Portsmouth and Malta. A second iron tnortar.boat was towed up to Woolwich dockyard yesterday morning by the steamer Monkey, from Messrs. Scott Russell's yard, at Northfleet, and is to be immediately rigged and fitted out fur an experi mental trial. She is similar in all her appointments and build to the first of this species of mortar-boats received at ‘voolwich last week, with the slight exception of her mortar framewoik being of wood, instead of iron, which is subject to spring from its position under the shock oc casioned by the discharge. The first of these boats will be ready in a day or two, to commence her round of ex periments. Her piece of ordnance was hoisted on board yesterday morning. The new floating battery just commenced in No. 7 EPP at Chatham dockyard is the .c'Etna (so named after the one destroyed at B!ack wall). She is pierced for 23 guns, but will carry only 14 large ones, which will be shifted from side to aide as required. Her dimensions are as follow :—Length, 180 feet ; height, 18 feet ; breadth, 4 0 feet ; with flat bottom, and drawing six or seven feet of water. There are 150 hands employed on the Etna, which will be launched in March. The new steam-sloop Pearl crossed topsallyards yes terday, and is expected to be ready fur commission in three - weeks. The Sandfly and Plover gun-boats have coaled, and are to go down to Sheerness, to make room for others which f < are ready to be taken into basin and pass under the hands of the rieg-r.s. Two 63-pounder field-pieces, 19} feet cast in Woolwich t Arsenal, on the Lancaster principle, wore yesterday morning fired at the proof butt, and turned out satis factorily. A material improvement has been added to these guns—namely, a greater weight of metal from the trunnions to the muzzle, that being the point at which some of the old Lancaster guns showed their defect and b irst. The remedy is now considered effectual in these guns. They will therefore be rifled, and go through some sub sequent trials. The Commandant of Chatham Garrison has received from her Majesty the photographic likenesses of Thomas Walker, 95th Regiment, and Robert Evans, 13th Light Dragoons, which he presented yesterday, by the Queen's command, to those two young men, now in Fort Pitt. The former had 13 pieces of his skull bone taken away; the latter lost his right leg under distressing circum. stances. APPOINTMENTS.

STABBING BT A LUNATIC.---A. well-looking young woman rushed en Sunday mo rn i ng from No. 7, line M ou th°len, crying out, " Arr es t hi m I arrest him ! H e has stabbed me !" At the same moment a mean looking man was seen running with all his speed to wards the Faubourg Poissonniere. A police-agent suc ceeded in barring his passage, and he was taken into custody. The man, on findi ng hi mse lf a prisoner, said to the officer, " Let me go, I am the son of the Almighty !" And at the game moment, drawing forth a long poniard, he struck himself several times it in the breast, though not with any great force. The weapon was at last wrested from him, and ho was taken to the post of the Rue Cadet. As to the woman, she expited almost immedmtely after, from a dreadful wound which the man had irriiicted on her in the left breast: She seemed to be about 25 years of age, and was Oressinaker by occup.a.tion. The murderer, who ' s _ LA arried man, admits his. crime. He is a journeyman eyTr jeweller, livin g a t La Villette, and asserts that anger, I stabb e d th e young woman i n a v i o l e nt burst because she would not c( intinue to receive his visits as formerly.

The rail eay companies the same ; every corporation finds some means of assisting their suboidiriates in the present scarcity, but ne exertions, either pliblic or private, suffice to relie.e the want that is just now felt here by every one of fixed income, and still more by those of no income at all. The claims of the latter upon tbe charity of the former bring all into the one category of" persons in want." The distress ieaogreat in Germany that in many places the inhabitants have . been driven to be public-spirited, enterprising, and . prac',ical. The state of things, you may he sure, that baS produced this revolution Must indeed be urgent. Some of the results already attained are worth being male known. A Hanoverian manu facturer, for instance, of the name of Egestorff, has in the neighbourhood of Hanover, at a place called Linden, erected an eating-house for the poor, which supplies food for 2,100 persons daily at the cost price. Part of thern-fetsh or send for their dinuers and eat them at home, part avail ,themselves of the well-lighted and heated dining rooms. The establishment employs 34 pair of hands.in a kitchen fitted up w ith six cauldrons heated by steam: The present apparatus is equal to delivering 3,000 portions a dey, and we'. 0- - ' elp of two more Aram cauldrons could supply 4,000. ily the employment of 34 persons, instead of perhaps 500 women, who would waste each of them at least balf-a-day in cooking for those 2,000 persons at least 216 whore work days are saved. The firing of .the one establish merits costs 44. a day, that of the 508fkmil es wculd cost at least 604: ; the actual outlajeteetite meat n.tal vege tables is at least 20 per cent. Ices, than the aggregate of the individual households!, .and-the produce of the broken meats and offal is a clear profit over the economy of the many separate cookings. A. portion or serving contain ing one quart of strong soup, with vegetables in it, and a piece of meat from 2i ozs to 3 oz., costs 11.1., and this price leaves a sum plus tosards the wear and tear of utensils. The arrangements have been fouiltrio-bene ticial for the poorer classes, that in Hamburg already t vo similar establishments have been formed and are in full activity, the police force being necessary to control .the ardour of the customer's ; in Bavaria, where the Government has required the local authorities through out the land to erect 'similar ones, it bas already taken place in many towns. Li Berlin, the seat of intellec t sal civilisation, they have already got so far as to pro pose the plan for imitation. The preparation of bread is also a subject that just now, in these hard times, occupies the public atten tion ;' seeing that, though the prices remain the same, the (size of the loaves becomes "small by degrees and abomicably less." It is pointed oat that in the grinding of corn at least 12 to 20 per cent. eof. the shole quantity of grain to be ground is turned out as bran, tf three different degrees of fineness, while; according to Liebig, wheat contains only two per cent. of indigestible ligneous matter ; that this bran is applied only as fodder for animals, e idle it contains 60 to 70, per cent. of the nutritious elements of wheaten flour. The separation of the bran from the if .ur by the process of bolting is one that thus necessarily reduces the stock of flour by one-fifth or one-fourth, without ma terially improving the nutritious qualities of the bread. Certain it is that the Weetpbalian bread, made of un- • bolted rye flour, and other bread male in imitation of it, such as the bread served out to the soldiers here, al though no re cheaply produced, is purchased readily by ati connoisseurs in Berlin at higher prices than the !good-locking white bread, on account of its nutritive and other wholesome qualities. Another cause of the unnecessarily high plies of bread isindicated as arising from the primitive man ner in which the baker's trade is still - carried on by small masters, with two or three assistants - at most, instead of applying machinery and the more recent dizcoveries in chemistry towards diminishing the cost of production. In Anisteidam a joint stock company has just 'been formed with a capital of 250,0001, for the production of unadulterated and cheap rye bread for the million. In Stuttgardt a manufactory of tread Was opened on the sth of November, which turns out 500 lb. • of bread every 45 minutes, and in the 24 hours (fur the demand for their article compels them to woik day and night) 16,000 lb. Six journeymen bakers ere constantly at work, while three are at rest, and one has a holyday; 10 in all. The flour is kneaded in a long trough by means of a main spindle running along it, which is kept - revel?. ing by manual or other force ; the warm water necessary for the process is obtained by pas, ing the water pipe that conveys it along the chimneys of the three ovens, Which are constantly baking. The dough is kneaded very long 'in shorter time and better than the human hand can turn it out ; the machine nut only does its work cleanly, but keeps i!self clean that is to say, it does not require any human labour to clear it of dough clinging to it. The'bread produced at the manufactory is not only sold a kreutzer below the price fixed by the police, but is also; so sightly and well tasted, that customers fight for it every time an oven is drawn, or the little van that carries it out is sent cif from ihe door. The present *mom. t of daily production, 16,0001 b., is the MaX:11111ill that the preseet establishment can turn out ; it is proposed, how ever, to extend it to a capacity of 30,0001 b. daily, while at the same time to similar bakeries are proposed for erection on a still larger scale. Orders for the tread - . are , sent in from towns even at a considerable distance, so clearly has the superiority of this manufactured bread been acknowledged: one order from Ravensburg was for 12,0001 b. of bread to be sent daily by railway. A some vs hit similar attempt to produce bread in large quantities has; been made here with success by the Preei , lent of Po ice, who supplies the whole polio ) force with bread belt r and cheaperthan they can have it from the baker; this, bread is produced at an establishment founded by hire a little way from the town, with a view to the occu pation of criminals in the open air, and thus reforming them. By a species of poetical p iliee justice they are thus; compelled to raise the corn and bake the bread of heir vigilant persecutors, now become their benefactors. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
