The following notice also appears in yesterday's hf o niteur The Imperial Commission, having received intimation that certain august personac, , es are shortly to arrive in Paris, request those exhibitors whose products still re main in the various galleries of the Palace of Industry and the Fine Arts to leave them in their places until the 30th inst. The Exhibition of Industry, and that of the Fine Arts, will therefore remain open to the public until the end of the month. INSTITUTIOIV o.le CIVIL ENGINEERS. -- On Tuesday last—James Simpson, Esq., president, in the chair--the paper read was "On the Construction of Buoys, Beacons, and other Stationary Floating Bodies," by Mr. G. Herbert. Floating sea marks, as ordinarily constructed, were, it was stated, admitted to possess the defect of riding uneasily on the waves, under which they were frequently buried, so as to be scarcely visible, when most required, besides which it was not an uncommon circumstance, in heavy weather, to find that a buoy had broken its chain and floated away. The present form of the buoys, and the fact of the mooring chains being attached t. a point far below the centre of gravity, sufficiently accountrd for these and other acknowledged defects, and induced the proposition of a form of stationary floating body, which should have a tendency to ride easily, and to re tain its perpendicularity, whilst the point of attach ment of the mooring chain would be in such a situati as to subject it to the least amount of strain, and not be liable to draw the buoy down into the trough of the 'aves. With this view a wrought iron pear shaped buoy was c , n4ructed, of a circular form in plan, aid terminating above in an apex, so distributing the weight as that the centre of gravity should be sit uatcd a little below the centre of the plan of flotation, and the bottom 'as made ci.ncave and raised up internally, so as to form a c-,ne, to the internal apex of which the mooring chain was attached. This form was found so completely to answer the pur pose that several buoys were made by Messrs. Blown, Lennox, and Co., for the corporation of the Trinity Rouse, and were pronounc-d to he superior to any pre viously built. A bu. , y of 9 feet in heigth, 6 feet 6 in. diameter, and having only 2 feet of the body submerged, exhibited, under all circumstances of wind and tide, an upright body of 7 feet out of the water. This quality of retaining its vertical position arose from the force of the tide, or wave, being simultaneously exerted upon one side of the exterior of the buoy, and on the opposite side of the interior cone ; the forces so nearly balancing each other as to retain the floating body in an almost perpen dicular position. Encouraged by the success of the first experiments the Trinity House authorised the construction of a wrought-iron sea beacon on the same principle. The floating base was 20 feet in diameter, divided by radiat ing bulk heads into cix water-tight compartments ; it drew 4 feet 6 inches water, and supported a tower, also of wrought iron, 28 feet high, 7 feet diameter at the base, and 3 feet 6 inches diameter at the top, surmounted by an iron ball of the same diameter. This beacon was moored in the over-fall of the sea, at the South Saud Head of the Goodwin Sands, and was admitted to have been the best and most conspicuous sea•raark ever laid down. During very heavy storms, it was observed that the greatest angle assumed by the tower did not exceed 10 deg, from the perpendicular, without any tendency towards circular motion. When it had been afloat for about five weeks it was observed to sink gradually during very moderate weather, evidently from having sprung a leak. It was conjectured that this casualty arose from the mooring chain having been improperly fixed in the hawse-pipe of the cone, instead of being below it, and thus that the links were brought into contact with the plates of the compartments, which, being only -inch in thick ness, were soon chafed tlrough, probably in several Places simultaneously, and, the several compartments becoming filled with water, the beacon was submerged. The recurrence of such casualities in similar structures could, in future, be easily remedied by attaching the mooring to the proper point in the cone, as is done in the buoys, and thus guard against the possibility of any fric tion against the body of the water tight compartments. It was now proposed to carry out this principle of construction upon a longer scale, and to erect upon the floating base a tower sufficiently large to serve as a substitute for a lighthouse. A plan for such a structure, as submitted to the Trinity House by Sir Charles Fox, was described. The floating base was 80 feet in diameter, and drew 20 feet water ; the tov.. , er was 130 feet high, 24 feet in diameter at the base, and 14 feet at the lantern ; the weight of the tower and lantern was 117 tons;and the totaldisplacement of the whole building was 1,602 tons ; the centre of gravity being 2 feet 6 inches below the surface of the Water. The weight of a double mooring chain, the links of which were 3 inches diameter, would be about 46 tons in about 30 fathoms of water, when under the greatest pressure of wind and tide, and the cater ary curve would then be about 47 deg. from the perpendicu lar ; the extreme pressure to which the chain would be subject afloat would not exceed 92 tons. The security of this Sea Light Tower would depend upon its moorings, which, for greater certainty of holding, should probably be Mitchell's screw moorings, within certain limits of depth, and if the chain weighing 46 tons was not coosi dered sufficiently strong, auy additional strength might be added, and would only hare the effect of immersing the floating base a few inches more. In the event of any unforeseen occurrence causing the Sea Light Tower to break adrift, it could immediately and with certainty be brought up by a spare chain and anchor. The extreme pressure of the wind upon this structure would not exceed 34 tons, and that would only cause the tower to incline about 1 deg. 28 min. from the perper.• dicular. The pressure caused by the speed of the tide, at four miles an hour, could be taken at 30 tons, upon the immersed portion. Some interesting observations, made by Mr. Douglass, in 1853, at the request of the author, on the number, height, and speed of waves, at the lighthouse in course of construction at Bishop Rock, the most westerly of the Sci:ly group, tended to confirm the opinion that little or no inconvenience would result from the action of the waves, even in that exposed locality. The state ment showed, generally, that waves which, when mea sured from the hollow to the unbroken crest, had a height of feet, were in number 35 in one mile, and 8 per min. 15 feet, do. 5 and 6 do. 5 per min. 20 feet, do. 3 do. 4 per min. The new form of Sea Light-tower was proposed to mark the sites of shoals, or rocks, or islands, which were difficult of access. Light-houses for this purpose being generally required as warnin4, rather than as guiding lights, it usually was of little importance whether the light was exactly upon the point of rock from which it was intended to warn a ve-sal, or whether it was a short distance from it, so that the existence of the danger was made manifest. It was admitted that this form of construction might be advantageou-ly employed for " guiding" or " fair way" lights. The problem of exhibitin g lights of any considerable altitude in very deep water had not hitherto been solved, and cosequently the majority of the lights now in existence were not those leading into a ri,;ht channel, but those which warned from a wrong one, and so long as that plan was followed the system of light ing would be one-sided and defective. Practical men, however now appeared to think that the old system should not be continued, and as the Sea Light Tower was capable of being moored in any depth of water, how ever great, it might be placed midway in any channels, as an invitation to the right course, and thus insure to 'all vessels a safer and a speedier naviga ion. The lighthouse on the Skerryvore Rock occupied seven years in building, and cost upwards of 90,0001. ; whereas, by means of the Sea Light Tower, the same object might be accomplished iu one year, at a cost of 30,0001. The site of the Bell Rock could be equally efficiently marked, at a cost of about 20,0001., instead of 60,000/. ; and that of the Eddystone, at about 15,000/ , instead of 40,0001. ; and the new form of light towers would possess the advantage of being accessible in all weathers. The observations were limited to sea marks, but if the principle of construction proved to be correct it would evidently be applicable to floating forts, and to almost every other description of stationary floating body, several designs for which were exhibited. THE AUSTRIANS IN THE PRINCI- PA' ITIES. A private letter from Bucharest, dated the 3d inst., mentions as follows : A very serious affair has just occurred here. At 2 o'clock yesterday the English Colonel Thier was ar rested in his lodgings by the Austrian military authori ties. He was stripped of his English uniform by them, and forced to put on the Austrian great-coat. Colonel Thier had served as lieutenant in the Austrian army, and passed over with his company in 1849 to the Piedmon tese. After the war he entered the British service, and advanced in it to the rank of colonel. He was sent to Cronstadt, in Transylania, the night that followed his arrest. He was at Bucharest 10 or 12 days, having been sent by the English Government to buy horses and carts for-the army. He was duly accredited to the Eng lish agents, as also to the Ottoman authorities. Col. Thier is a Hungarian. Ten minutes after his arrest the Consul-General of England went to the house of Gene ral Coronini to reclaim the colonel. The general gave a brief and decided refusal. Mr. Colquhoun thereupon addressed an official letter to him on the subject, and it is said that the reply was something to this effect : " I seize my deserters wherever I find them. I have " the right to cause Thier to be shot instantly, ani if the Emperor commands me to give him up I shall break my sword." The sensation produced here by the conduct of the Austrians is immense. I hope you will now under ' stand the fault committed in allowing the Austrians to Qtta• Nag rrincfralitim • •-•- • • • - - THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16 1855 SHARE MARKETS.

The Master of the Rolls gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the bill was filed for the purpose of com pelling the defendant specifically to perform a contract he had entered into-- with the plaintiff to purchase the lease and business of a chemist, which had been carried on by the plaintiff at 41, Tichborne-street, Vauxhall road. Both plaintiff and defendant were chemists and druggists, and the ground on which the defendant re fused specifically . to perform the contract was, that the business was not so profitable as bad been represented by the plaintiff, and that it did not produce Si. a week. Although the defendant refused to perform the contract, the plaintiff continued for some time to carry on the business, thinking that, after some negotiating, the mat ter might be settled to the satisfaction of all parties. Ultimately, however, he discontinued it, and the good will was thereby materially injured. After the discon tinuance of the business the landlord put in an execu tion, and under it the stock, after the lapse of some time, was sold. The Master of the Rolls, in giving judgment, stated that the law was clear that if either party to a contract destroyed or injured the subject matter of it after it had been entered into, and before it had bee❑ specifically performed, that party would not have the benefit of the contract, but must be made liable for his misconduct. In the present case, in the opinion of the court, the misconduct was all on the side of the defend ant. The objections he had taken to perform the con tract were entirely without proof, and the statement that the business did not produce 8/. a-week had not been supported. There must, therefore, be a decree for the specific performance of the contract. MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed tamely but steadily, and compared with last Fri day's rates prices of all kin is were the same. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, consisting of 500 American for export ; 500 Pernam and Maran ham, at 5, 3 ,d. to 6d.; 150 Bahia, Gild. ; 300 Egyptian, 53d. to 81d. ; 3,000 Surat, 31d. to 41d. (2,000 export) ; and 50 Sea Islands, 10d. to 20d. per lb. In the Railway Share Market there were not many transactions, and prices had a down ward tendency. There has been a much quieter market this week for colonial produce. The excitement among the sugar trade has subsided, and some kinds of foreign have changed hands at 2s. per cwt. decline. Coffee is Is. to 2s. per cwt. cheaper, and in cocoa the transactions have been limited. A good inquiry has existed for rice, and at higher rates, in conse quence of the advance in corn. Early in the week tea was largely dealt in, and prices advanced, but they have since become rather flatter. Saltpetre has been more iu request, and tallow has risen about 3s. per cwt. Spices, to a small extent, have sold steadily, and indigo has brought previous values. No alteration has occurred in the prices realised at the public sales of wool. From Vienna we are informed that affairs on the Bourse were not much altered. Stocks were quiet at a slight fall, and shares followed the same down ward tendency, excepting Austrian railways, which rose 2i florins. Exchange on London had risen to 11.06, and on Paris without alteration at 1321. On the Paris Bourse yesterday the public Funds receded still further from previous prices. The 3 per Cents. fell 5 centimes for money, and 10c. for the account, and the 41 Stock fell 50 centimes in the course of the day. The improvement in the English Funds, which reached there before the close, failed to influence prices. There was not much speculation going on, a 3 most of the specu lators were said to be present at the closing of the Universal Exhibition. Bank of France shares fell 10 francs, which affected those of the Credit Mobilier and other securites. Despatches via Vienna, from Constantinople, state that the project for the construction of a canal, from Kostenje, on the Danube, to the Black Sea, for the purpose of superseding navigation by the Sulina mouth, has been approved of by the Ottoman Porte ; also that the export of grain and other produce is prohibited by the Sultan from all the Turkish ports, and the importation of foreign cereals will be exempt from duty. From Berlin we learn that the conference of delegates from all the states interested, to consider the question of the Sound dues is fixed for the 20th of this month. It is expected, however, that it will be further postponed, and that the members of the conference will not be able to assemble and enter upon their labours until the beginning of January. _ _ The advices from Australia by way of Ceylon are to August 29 from Sydney. The Melbourne accounts are to the Ist September, being about a fortnight later than those brought by the Ballarat. The condition of trade offered little temptation to shippers from this side to forward supplies, as the markets for most articles continued extremely heavy. There was a diminution in the de mand for gold for shipment by mercantile firms, and the price had declined. The highest rate offered by the brokers was 3/. 16s. 3d. per oz. The Government escorts from Mount Alexander and Ballarat on the 31st of August brought down 49,507 oz., valued at 28,9821. At the sales of Go vernment lands biddings were very languid, and the greater part of the quantity offered was with drawn. The English Securities are supported by the favourable intelligence of Omer Paella's success, but any decided improvement is prevented by the unsatisfactory aspect of monetary affairs. Specie is being taken from the Bank of England, and higher rates are charged for discounts. Under these cir cumstances there is very little disposition to operate, and the " Bears" are acting cautiously. Consols opened at 88 to 88?-, for money, then went a fraction lower, and are now about 874 to 88. The account quotations have ruled at about 884 and 88k. Bank Stock is steady at 207 to 2081, and India Stock 227. Exchequer Bills are 10s. to 7s. discount, being fully ls. cheaper. The New 3 per Cents. are 87i and the Reduced 86 . 4' to 87i. Foreign Securities were very dull, and without any particular variation in their values. Turkish Bonds are quoted at 80 to 801, and New Scrip at 3i discount. Spanish Deferred are 198 to 191, being rather flatter. Mexican Bonds are 198, and Peruvian 41 per Cents. 741. French 3 per Cents. are 67 50, and the ditto Scrip is at 1 premium. The other Stocks are nominally the same as be- :ora. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 71 ; Mexican, 19k to ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 94 to 96 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, 19i to 20 ; ditto Three per Cents., 38 to 38i ; ditto Certificates, 4g- to 4: ; ditto Pas sive, 6 to 1. Letters from Chili state that a vessel laden with 420 tons of copper and copper regulus has been shipped to the Mexican and South American Smelting Company, and that a bar of silver has been forwarded to Valparaiso. Au exceedingly limited business is being trans acted in Railway Shares, and the quotations are drooping. Owing to the paucity of business the fluctuation is not generally of importance. Foreign lines rule steady, but quiet. The Great Western of Canada were a shade lower. Mining and Banking Shares are dull, but steady. General Screw Steam Shares are 10s. lower. dE,ITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE oPt) - L ( Prom Oticioi List. 1 liu 4 inAts (UM. Bank Stock 3 i •e, cent.

ROBBERY OF FORZIGN HlDES.—Three men, named Marney, Morris, and Mahoney were brought before Mr. Combs, charged with stealing four South American hides, va!ue 61., from Pickle Herring-wharf, Tooley-street. William Hobbs, the superintendent of the above wharf, stated that on Monday last a South American vessel arrived at their wharf, laden with hides in a raw state. The unloading commenced, and on Tuesday witness missed four of the hides. Three were marked, and one was not, but they were all of the same description of ox hides, and came from Buenos Ayres. He- valued them at 30s. each. The managing foreman to Messrs. Margetson, cur riers, White's-grounds, Bermondsey, said that on Mon day night the prisoners Marney and Morris came to him and asked him whether he would purchase any "seals." He told him no, as they were not in any par ticular request, when Morris said he bad four hides, and he asked whether witness would purchase them. He replied that he must see them first, and told them to bring them the next morning. After they left the ware house witness went and communicated with the police, and the arrangement was entered into for a constable to be on the watch when they came. On Tuesday Marney and Mahoney came to the warehouse, bringing four raw ox hides with them. He eiamined them, and pro nounced at once that they were South American hides; and while the prisoners were bargaining about a price witness beckoned the constable in, and they were taken into custody. The prisoners offered to sell them for 10g., but he never answered them, as the constable came in at the time. Mr. Hobbs examined the hides producei, and pro nounced them to be a portion of the cargo that was un loading at their wharf, and they must have been stolen at dusk on Monday eventog. H. know nothing ..-hat ever of the prisoners, and they never worked at his wharf. Henry Hunt, police-constable 31 M, said he received information of the hides being stolen from the wharf, and afterwards he received information from last wit ness that two men bad been to bias and offered to sell four hides. Consequently, he went to Messrs. Marget son's on Tuesday, and took Murray and Mahoney in custody inside and Morris outside waiting for them. The prisoner Morris said he found the hides under the railway arch, and dragged them home. Afterwards he asked the other prisoners to go with him and sell them, as he did not know to whom they belonged. Mr. Combe remanded them for a week to enable the police to make further inquiries about them. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

HEAD-QUARTERS, SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 2. M. le Marechal,—You have already been in formed that about the middle of October, I sent General do Failly's division of infantry to Enpa toria. General Simpson also ordered the embar kation of Lord Paget's cavalry brigade with the same destination. This accession of strength would enabl e G enera l d'Allonville to obtain an insight int o th e disposi tions made by the enemyin the two directions of Perekop and Simpheropol, to harass the great line of communication that unites these two points, and to extend, in case of need, but with the greatest prudence, his action round Eupatoria. In order to put him in a position for making several marches in this barren and arid district, waggons, and sets of portable pumps, buckets and engines fit fur working the few wells in that region, had been sent to him from Kamiesh. In the great reconnaissance effected between the 22d and 24th of October, which I had the honour of reporting td your Excellency, General d'..kllon ville acquired the conviction that the enemy had selected his points of concentration towards the south. In order to ascertain this fact this general left Eupatoria on the 27th of October, in the morning, with 24 battalions from the corps under General de Faill and Ahmet Pasha the Mushir, 38 English, Turkish, and French squadrons, and 56 guns. Having arrived at 2 o'clock in the afternoon be fore Sak, and having in front of him only a cover ing line of Cossacks supported by a few squadrons, General d'Allonville stationed the French and Turkish divisions in echelons to the right in front of Sak, the right leaning on the great muddy ravine that runs towards this village, and he himself pro ceeded with all the cavalry and horse artillery to wards Tchobotar, which is about a league and a half distant. The enemy's squadrons continued to retire along the Simpheropol road, and when our cavalry had arrived to within about 1,500 metres of the posi tions covering the point where this road crosses the Tchobotar ravine, the Russians unmasked 30 pieces of large calibre (32-pounders), the shells from which burst along our whole line, killing four of our men, and wounding 18. General d'Allonville then put. the numerous cavalry of the enemy con- I fronting him to the test. He despatched towards our left four Turkish squadrons against 10 Russian squadrons, who did not wait for them, but retired. The enemy either did not dare or did not wish to engage, and it could not come into Gen. d'Allon ville's mind to let himself be drawn on, with only his cavalry, against defensive positions strongly pro tected. The day was declining. The general de cided accordingly on rejoining the infantry, and he took up a strong position for the bivouac, his front covered by Sak, and his wings by the two neigh ' bouring lakes. A few English and French light vessels, stem to stern along the bank, were ready to give the support of their artillery in case it had been required ; but the enemy did not attempt to make any attack. It was probable that, in presence of this demon stration, the Russians would collect their disposable forces from the points occupied in the vicinity, for the purpose of obtaining their aid in defending the route now menaced. With a view to get a better judgment of these forces, and of the arrangements adopted by the Russians, General d'Allonville re solved to march again towards the enemy on the 28th. The keeping of Sak and the nether ravine of Tchobotar were entrusted to the Turkish and Egyp tian infantry of the Mushir Ahmet Paella ; Gen. de Failly took up his station with his division a league in advance, and General d'Allonville, with Lord Paget's English cavalry brigade. Ali Paella's Turkish cavalry, and the French cavalry under the orders of General Walsin-Esterhazy, marched east wards iu a direction between Temesch and Djamin, and passed along the Russian positions out of the range of their galls. The enemy's squadrons fell back on our right and flanked us on our march without disturbing it, although our cavalry had advanced more than two leagues ahead of our infantry. In these movements the Russians showed about 60 squadrons, and it was possible to distinguish earthworks and troops collected in the direction of Toulat and Aich. After attempting, but in vain, by a few manceuvres to bring about a cavalry combat in the plain, General d'Allonville, who could not find any water except at Lez, behind Toulat, fell back about noon on General de Failly's infantry, and with it re gained in the evening, without being pursued, his bivouac of the previous evening at Sak. The wells at Sak were nearly exhausted ; half the horses had not even been able to drink ; moreover, the essential object of this operation, which was to reconnoitre the positions of the enemy in this quarter, was attained. General d'..4llouville re turned, therefore, on the morning of the 29th, to Ropa.toria, after ascertaining that on this side, as on all the rest, the entire circuit round this place had been evacuated ; that in a radius of seven to eight leagues the enemy had compelled the inha bitants to abandon all the villages, and that the Russian army did not maintain there a single j cantonment. PELISSIER. GENER4.L CANROBERT AT STOCKHOLM'. We read in the Affion,bladet of Nov. 7 : " To-day, at one o'clock, General Canrobert was received in audience by the King, in his capacity of French ambassador. General Canrobert was conveyed from the Brunkenjerg Hotel to the royal residence in a state carriage of the court, drawn by eight white horses, preceded by several outriders and runners, and surrounded by servants of the royal house, all of whom were in grand livery. This carriage was followed by another, drawn by four horses, in which sat Colonel Comedy, Gmeral Canrobert's aide-de-camp ; and Captain Bjoernst jerna, the King's aide-de-camp, who, by order of his Majesty, will act as aide-de-camp to the illus trious general during his sojourn at Stockholm. Along the whole route the procession was saluted with cries of Vice Canrobert ! Vive la France!' At the gate of the King's palace General Canrobert was received by the marshal of the kingdom, who conducted his excellency into the presence of the King. "To-day the King will give a grand dinner to General Canrobert. The high dignitaries of the kingdom, and a large number of the chief civil and military functionaries, have been invited. " On Monday next a performance will take place at the Theatre Royal, in honour of General Canro bert. It will be Mozart's celebrated opera, the Zaubertlote.' The King has, moreover, invited General Canrobert to take his place in the box of the royal family whenever he may feel disposed to go to the theatre." We read in the same journal : " The high im portance of the mission which General Canrobert has come to Stockholm to fulfil is seen in the fact that the King has summoned Baron Manderstroem from Vienna in all haste. The baron was formerly Minister for Foreign Affairs, and is now Swedish and Norwegian Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Austria." The Borsenhalle has a letter from Stockholm in which we read : "At the palace the Ambassador Extraordinary of the Emperor of the French was received with great ceremony. The Princes Oscar and Augustus and the Minister of Foreign Affairs were present at the audience of the King, to whom General Can robert presented'aff 'nuttigraph letter from his sovereign and the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. An hour after this presentation the doors of the audience chamber were thrown open, and Colonel Comedy was presented to the King. " The ambassador then paid visits to the mem bers of the Royal family, and presented to the Prince Royal the insignia of the order of the Legion of Honour, as he had done to the King. The audi ence lasted two hours. " At three o'clock the ambassador Was escorted back with the same ceremonial to t pposed French legation, where he alighted. Itbe h i o s t s e of u l the that his sojourn at Stockholm will last at least eight 1 days." CAPTURE OF RUSSIANS IN THE SEA OF OKEIOTSK.

Familiar Words, as affecting the Conduct • England in 1855. By David Urquhart. Second Series. Trubuer and Co. I The familiar words with which Mr. Urquhart deals in the present part include Ari s t ocracy , Barbarism, Civilisation, Conscience, Democracy, Diplomacy (suggestive word !), Faith, Independ ence, March of Intellect, Monarchy, . Organs of Public Opinion, Progress, and Ministerial Respon. sibility. The object of the writer is to prove " the present English language a web of sophistries a id the ideas to correspond therewith," and to point out the almost hopeless state of confusion our bad metaphysics have led us into. As the reader will perceive, some of the words are sufficiently sugges• tive to elicit assertions, arguments, and conclusions eminently Urquhartish. What his notions are in relation to public opinion and its organs may in part ‘ be gather e d f rom the following quotations ‘. In treating of public o pi n i on I h ave s h own th a t if men did not rely on it they would rely on them selves. But public opinion exists by its organs; were they to disappear we mi g ht get men again. ' The nation,' said Channing, is the tomb of the man.' Nation—No ! Press. As I have had to watch day by day the effects of the papers on the people, I stand perhaps alone in the position of being able to hope great things from their removal; that is, if false data were not to be administered, false intellgence not communicated, and fallacious reasons not supplied. With the Press nothing is known. Who advises a measure, nobody knows. Who carries it into effect, nobody knows. Who writes an article, nobody knows. Everything is secret ; the soul and the life of publicity is secrecy. " Again, "The Press is an invention for the develop. ment of original sin." Possibly this may be deemed sufficient ; it would, however, be unjust not to add that the book contains grains of truth, an is not without suggestive power. T'ractical Proceedings for the Removal of Nui sances, &c. By Toulmin Smith, Esq. Henry Sweet. The great benefits derivable from the Nuisances Removal Act render it a matter for congratulation that so competent a hand as Mr. Toulmin Smith should lend his aid to facilitate its application In the present volume will not only be found practical proceedings for the removal of nui sances, but also the execution of drainage works, with numerous forms and complete instruc tions for the conduct of parish committees ; to which is added the " Diseases Prevention Act." It should not be forgotten, that to the suggestions of Mr. Smith the characteristic and most important al terations in the Statute Law, made by the Nuisances Removal Act, are mainly owing. An act which it is no exaggeration to describe as " the first act that in our time rests upon the constitutional prin ciple of recognising the right and duty of those who are concerned to do, in every place, that which the welfare of each place needs." The Metropolitan Local Management Act, 1855. By Toulmin Smith, Esq. Henry Sweet. The vast and various interests involved, and the important principle at stake in the administration of this welcome thotigh imperfect act, render it a matter of great moment that no information shall be wantin g likely to conduce to its satisfactory working. To insure this result Mr. Toulmin Smith—who, by the way, is entitled to regard the act with a parental sort of feeling—has pointed out the circumstances out of which it has grown, those to which it applies, the practical bearings of its various provisions, arid its more or less obvious defects. These will be found in a very interesting preface, and a number of notes in connection with the various sections of the bill. In short, so com plete and so well-arranged is the information given in relation to the Act, that the dullest ratepayer may readily become acquainted with its spirit and seope, and so be enabled to contribute his mite to its success. More practically useful manuals than this and the preceding—(Proceedings for the Re moval of Nuisances)—which should go together, we do not remember to have seen. MARKET NEWS.—(This Dar. CORN EXCHANGE. The receipts of English wheat up to our market this week, coastwise, have been on the increase ; but the supply fresh up to-day was limited, and the show of samples was small. For all kinds we had a fine demand, and, in some instances, Monday's prices were rather exceeded for fine prices. We had a fair demand for foreig❑ wheat, the show of which was very moderato at fully previous rates. Float in! cargoes were in request at extreme quotations ; but the number offering was small. Fine malting barley was unusually scarce, and rather dearer ; grinding and distilling sorts were fair. The malt trade was fine, and the best samples realised 82s per quarter. We had a fair inquiry for oats, at full prices. Beans and peas supported former terms. The flour trade ruled steady, and the top price of the best town-made was 77s per 28Ibs. ARRIVALS THIS WERE.

The supply of beasts trn nifor in to-day's market was' but moderate. The primest breeds sold steadily, at full prices, but inferior beasts were dull, at Monday's decline. A few prime oxen realised 5s per Sibs. With sheep we were scrutily supplied, yet the mutton trade ruled heavy, at unaltered quotations. Owing to the heavy fogs having prevented the arrival of the Dutch steamers very few calves were in the market. Prices were, therefore, very irregular, but some prime calves realised 5s 4d per 81bs. Pigs moved off slowly, at late rates. klilch cows were dull, at from 141 to 191 each, iucluding their small calf. Per Sibs to sink the offal& s. d. e. P d.
