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 sulject 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 been lent to the nation, and which could not be made available, it being in fact the fund against which the corporation were empowered to issue a certain 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, snore 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 231 of October, 1847, when the unemployed notes in the banking department amounted only to 1,176,7401, 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 1 and short-sighted a policy had been acted on during i more prosperous periods. A general suspension of i payments might have been the necessary consequence, which would have placed the holders of Bank Stock ' in a far different position from that which they have since occupied.

Whether others may feel disposed to join in the demand already put forward for a decrease of the rest will mainly depend on the manner in which the directors henceforth execute the important trust confided to their bands. If they still keep on the pressure of " the screw"—if they still exhilit the same stringency and illiberality that have been so painfully perceptible since October, 1847, the corn mercial and trading community will require addi tional banking accommodation, which might be provided from the resources which the directors of the Bank of England are tither unable or unwilling to bring into profitable operation. The rria#oralty of Sir JAMES DUKE will be re markable for the hospitalities of which he has been not only thetiOrior - , 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 ire 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 • Iliditerranean, and exclaiming, " What would I nokgive to see Athens ?" it was wisely retorted, " Have yore seen Manchester g" The age of ruins is, indeed, "past; Manchester is the city of the nineteenth century, and consequently a festival like that 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 sterling. The Prussian Ambassador, Cheva lier BUNSEN, who was present at the banquet, was eloquent in his praises of Manchester and England. Speaking of the former, he said, " I do not intend to enlarge upon a topic known to the whole word, 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." lie then more particularly commended the system adopted at the Penitentiary, believing it " to be a most important thing that the law which runishes 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. " Whrn 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 BUNSEN'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 any the cultivation of commerce. Again we respond—So be it l And again to quote Chevalier BUNSEX, " their prosperity is our prosperity," and vice versa. 'When we call to mind these promises contained in the very excellent speech of the Prussian Minister, and the eloquent discourses of the LORD MAYOR and the other magistrates as sembled, and especially when we reflect on the character of the meeting, and the city in which it took place, we are justified in pronouncing the civic festival of Manchester important in its principle, and interesting in its details. ~ ` WEDNESDAY EVENING.

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 voids, 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 Set.ceebrun. After that the Emperor will proceed to Trieste, accompanied by Marshal Radetzky. The mar riage of the Emperor with his cousin, the Princess Sidonia of Saxe, is expected. Count Ladislaa Zelinsky, a captain of Utahans, 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 Cotnorn 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 sure mount, will require from 40 to 48 days to take Comorn. According to the Wanderer, a report is circulated in Vienna, that in consequence of the in tervention of RADETZKY, 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• servatim of their rank as officers. The insurgent Count LENAINGE, it is said, bas 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 CHOWNSKT, Governor of Lower Austria, has published a notice, stating that the house of 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 4f per cent. sold at the Bourse at 854- to-day. ['he Minister of War has 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 Gnnie, 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. KLAGENFURTU, SEPT. 13.-OEORGET, as has al ready been stated, arrived here on the 11th. He was seated in his own carriage, accompanied by his wi!e, his daughter, and Major ANDRESSY. Immediately behind his carriage was a second, occupied by arquebwieres. The whole party alighted at the hotel of the Imperial Crown. Ile walks about the streets quite at liberty, accompanied only by his wife or the Major. Public curiosity is of course greatly excited wl.erever he appears. lie has expressed his intention of purchasing a country house in the neighbourhood of Klegenfurth, 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 which 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 w hich 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 35,000 strung. 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. TUE llAona.—ln the sitting of the Second Chatn ber on the 22d, Mr. VAN THORNBEKB I B motion to postpone the proceedings till the reconstitution of the Cabinet was adopted by 40 votis against 7. Nothing is yet known as to new mi n i s t er i al combinations; many names are cited, but none with sufficient cer tainty to be relied upon., The Constitutional Correspondence gives the fel• lowing additional particulars respectin g the robbery committed on the firm of Schaffhausen :—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 hating 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 Zeitung 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 Cologr.e; the following 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. life was accordingly locked up for the night. BELGIUM. The Moniteur Belge 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 14,023,765 kilogrammes, raw cotton 11,338,941 kilos., wheat 25,600,316 kilos., rye 8,360,156 kilos., wool 3,558,268 kilos., flax 1,965,369 kilos., rice 2,895,336 kilos., salt 18,780,818 kilos., sugar 12,279,556 kilos., to bacco 3,064,535 kilos. All these present consider able diminutions compared with 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. z'nc. All these present a great increase over the exports of the first eight months of 1846. 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 South Schleswig, and rumours are afloat—rumours the authenticity of which strongly require confirmation —that the Stadtholderate intends to denounce the armistice as soon as the limited time has expired. The Stadtholderate, frail motives of economy, has permitted nearly a third of the army to go on fur lough, but the teen are IN quired 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 vet 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 Tonning, as well as Husum 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 two parties to a rrange th e t they should question e between themthe themselves, under the strict neutra lity of Prussia. A report is current that Denmark is not indisposed to join the triple alliance, including Schleswig as well as Holstein in the bond. Thin 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 sea 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 Government has, it is said, demanded the expulsion of MAZZINI from Switzerland. DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. A correspondent wrote from Agram on the 17th to Lloyd's that the insurgents of Bosnia have beaten the Vizier, and that the latter has returned with his troop behind the Drina. ITAL y. 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.

In . Mark lane: to-day there i s no a l tera ti on i n t h e 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 corn 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 beenlso dry in some parts as to cccasion serious apprehensions of famine, was more favourable. The haters by the Caledonia steamer, from the United States, have been delivered in due course. The Stock market had been much more buoyant, and there was more activity in the Money market. The banks discounted freely, but more business paper was offering, and hoiden submitted to higher rates. Capi tal, nevertheless, was expected to continue abundant at low rates for some time to come, but shculd 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 t tam for extracts. It is stated that— " Among 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 cr,ps was much below] the usual average, poi- cipally 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 for really fine cottons they could only be sees 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 stason, when the best cottons are received, and when they are usually more inquired -for on the part of buyers for the continent of Europe and our northern ports, the better grades were comparatively neglected, and the diffireece in price between middling and fair was reduced to : 1 to 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 If to 14 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 product of Louisiana and Mississippi. The total receipts at this port since Ist September last, from all sources, are 1,142 382 bah s. 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 vies 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 campared 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 Fiance, 161,827 to the North and South of Europe, Mexico, &c.; and 205,811 to Uni•ed States porn., including 2,300 bales Western States. Comparing the exports with those of last y.nr, we find an increase 'uf 13,679 bales to France, and of 7.526 to the North and Smelt of Europe, &c., while to Glt at Britain there is a decrease of 9,005 bales, and of 44,662 hales to the United States ports. The total receipts at all tie Atlantic and Gulf ports, up to the latest dates ractived—as shown by our general cotton table—are 2 708,514 bales, against 2,325,108 baits to the same dates last year; shoeing an increase of 383,406 bales. This amount, however, it should be understood does not represent the actual eta p or the United States, as this cannot be made until the full returns of receipts. exports, stock, tac., are concen trated at one point. For a Belies of years the statement of the cotton crop has been made up by the New York Shipping and Commercial Li,t; anti 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 will 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 unimportaut. Bolivia was still very distracted. From Canada we learn that the rate of exchange on London for 60 days was at 10 to 101 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 Lot don from July 1 to September 20 being 165.986 gallons, and) ielding to Guvernon rit 124,4891 more than during the corresponding priod of last 3 ear. The, English Funds have been firmer, though ex tremely dud, owing to the strict Jewa' holiday observed ( t hi s to•iii.?;• the day of the Atonement) Conais are 92 for Transfer, and 921 s for Account.

George Nicholls end Margaret James, described as servants out of place, were indicted. for stealicg a box and contents, of the value of 20/., the property of the Great 'Western Railway Company. Mr. CLARKSON conducted the prosecution, and stated that on the 14 of August last the prisoners, or at least one of them, came by the railway from Brinscorcbe, in Gloucestershire to the Paddington station, and hi -u amongst the luggage a box covered with a linen wrapper' corded, and having attached to it a 'urge card with the direction " 'Mrs. James, Passenger," the usual red ticket of the company, with a capital "J' '' and the words "Brinecombe to Paddington" printed on it, was pasted un the wrapper. There was 1, 9 the same train a passenger of the name of James, who was in the employment of the company, and was nevem' pilled in that trip, from Gloucester to Paddington, by his wife and family. Ile had also, in the luggage, a b ox protected like that of the prisoner, with a linen wrap' per, corded in a similar manner, but having appended to it a much smaller card than that used on the prisoners box, with the address—" Mr. James, passenger," —t he red ticket on the wrapper having the same letter " but the words " Cheltenham to Paddington" inscribed on it. According to the evidence and the admission of the prisoners, Mrs. James, the prisoner, obtained at the terminus the box belonging to Mr. James, leaving in its place her own much smaller one. Nicholls carried it away for her. In a wet k or so afterwards, the male prisoner called at th e s t at i on to c l a i m t h e b o x left by the female; wh e n h e was to ld t h at s h e h a d taken the box of another pas s e nger , an d mus t bring that back, before 6 ho cou ld h ave h er own. Be said he would tell her se,' and would return re" sonally, but nothing more was seen of hi m, until about a fortnight ago, w ben Collard, the chief police in-pector of the Great Western Railway, met him in Hyde-park-square. Mrs. James was soon after wards ma by Cellsrd, on the way to the lodgings eccu pi, d by the prisoners, who_ lived together, a nd nearly the, whole of th e con t en t s o f the box, which consisted clething and ornaments, were found there, and identified by Mr. and Mrs. denies, the owners The A SSISTANT JUDGE observed that it had been laid down by the judges, in recent decisions, that if a ID", found a purse c on ta i n i ng 1, 0 0 0 gu i neas in the public res", and apple d every shilling of it to his own use, he could not be held guilty of felony; and, in cases analogous to the one before the Court, that if a person found tor thing. and afterwards appropriated it to his own use, well knowing it to belong to another, it could not be deemed a f e l on i ous takin as it wig ) " be that he only t oo k i t up at first to examine it, and see what it was. In the present case the ft male 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 ch scription; 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 alloeed 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 SURREY ELECTION. . - GUILDFORD, TUESDAY NICIIT.—This being the Brat of the two days appointed for polling the constituency of West Surrey, Guildford, and the six other places a here the votes of the electors are usually recorded, have been thrown into a state of unwind bustle and excite inent. The strength of the Liberal and Tory interest is so nearly balanced, and there has been so much time fur developing to their fullest extt nt the resources of either party, that a oat contest was confidently expected, nur has that exptctatiun been disappointed, 115 will be seen from the following return of the state of the poll at 4 o'clock:— Guildford G oda( cuing Farnham Dorking ChoLham Chcrt.ey Epsom ... Edgell. Evelyn. ... 183 297 ... 124 99 ... 162 100 ... 41 147 ... 141 130 ... 232 195 ... 113 173 996 1,14! Majority for Evelyn • . ••• --145 The total numb er o f rotes t h us 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 saffrsges to-inerruw. The nomination went off so quietly, and both parties expressed so earnest a desire to avoid an) thin 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 ceased, there was no sign of a quarrelsome dis position evinced 'on either side, A crowd, of course, was culls cied in the High-street, and under the stimu lating influence of' beer, 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 fiagbearers, who paraded the streets, making a frightful noise, but seriously alarming no one. The ladies of Guil dfor d 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 eaneddetes were in the White Hart and Crown hotels, which stand directly opposite to each otter. The exultation of Mr. Evelyn and his friends was not very agreeable to the supporters of Mr. Edgell, and their pre sense, on the other hand, was equally offensive to the advocates of protection to native industry. With which side the disturbances that ensued com menced it was impossible to tell, nor perhaps does it matter much to know; but no sooner did Mr. Evelyn' appear on the balcony of the White Hart than missiles began to fly about. First they were of rather a harm less character, ,such as pieces of stale bread, and other substances not likely to give a severe blow. By dip% es harder materials were employed, and a few panes of glass were broken. The smashing sound with which the glass gave way seemed to tct like a charm upon the mob, and for the rest of the evening they gave rent to their excitement by steadily pursuing this amuse ment. The partisans of Mr. Evelyn of course directed their atientin 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 Hart which they could reach with their missiles. Finding that small stones did not answer their purpose, the belligerents took to brickbats, and eve ritually le flowerpots, a row of which happened to stand invitingly near. The whole constabulary force that could be mustered to quell this disturbance con sisted of four or five men. they attempted to interfere, but found that it was useless to do so, and thus the smock frocks were lett perfectly tree to the exercise of those destructive tastes with which politics or beer had inspired them.

The consumption of flax in our spinning -factories has Leen unusually large this sew.on, in conscqueLce of an increased demand tor yarns to supply the foreign market. The export of yarns on a gust scale is comparatively new, and is, we ;ear, one which our spinners may find to bo of the same uncertain or temporary nature as formerly. The tome trade, however, is still in a very healthy and flourishing sta te.—Frfesliire Journal. Mr. Wyld, M.P. for Bodrsin, who has taken the place of Mr. 'l'. 8 Duncombe, M.P., in the agitation for a I, gilative superintendence of coal-mines, addressed a large open air meeting of pitmen on the Black .bstli, Gatcbhead, on Saturday last. Resolutions were adopted in 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 are willing to work. ~ 208 x.d 12 28 33% 25% 5114 - 1 3 7i, 474 24% fill Fr . 21
