MON TI - ki-i4Y IT AN .3 COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday ruled teady, about 6,000 finding buyers at previous t i ces• Mid Uplands realised 6 3-16 d. ; Mobile, 41 . ; Orleans, 6 7-16 d. per lb. Railway Shares ore brisk, and after many fluctuations closed at a ' li ght decline on opening prices. The Russian war is not yet ended, and the mo ‘lve% for unflagging vigour and firm resolve are atilt existent. At least so think a number of our t erehants, as is explained in the following observa tions from Smith and Charles' circular : " The glorious intelligence which has reached this 1 : 4 111try since our last circular was issued, having. led Lrquiries by our clients as to the effect of the destruc th°.n of Sebastobol on the question of peace, we take 8 opportunity of reminding you that when, in the 1 autumna of last year, it was supposed that Seba - topol W ould sp ee dil y fall into the hands of the Allies, we gave as our opinion that the conquest of that stronghold 7()uld but exasperate the leaders of the Russian party 1 11 St. to v. Petersburg ; that they would concentra t e their t h ' . e e en in the interior of Russia, and defy us to meet them le; that the Allied armies would not fo llow them, an d that this unwillingness, or inability, on our part to ca fl the fire into the heart of Russia , wo uld be p ro- Hoed th roug h ou t th e empire as a triumph on theirs. T he_ Russia n l ea ders, we said, dared not surrender ; and , "efore, although every fortress they possessed in the Pe oth and i n th e B a ltic %sere reduced to ruin ., we did not believe., th ey would yield. Hence, we argued , the neces 8y for destroying their trade, and thus bringing about a l : „!'otern a l revo lt. We see no reason to alter our opinion i e th ese points. As to proposa l s for peace emanating Yetthe Allies, the idea is preposterous. Far too much t remai n s t o be effected before such a consideration „„ be entertained. Russia has not yet been deprived gee Power of again disturbing the peace o f Euro p e. th er fortres ses in the Baltic are a standing men ace to h ° neighbouring nations; and, so long as the y remain tact' Russia will not cease to dream o f aggrandise sm,nt. Moreover, it is to be hoped that the salutary t o l3 eiple which prevails in our courts of law will be on ) 1 2 8 occasion imported into the policy of war.— viz., " that : 1 ; who commences an unju-t action shall pay the costs avi toth sides." An annual payment by Russia of ten s a l I , i ncl sterling will be a useful lesson to future Czars pa; raisin impolicy of aggression ; and the necessity fcr fo ,;'ing so lar g e an amount will furnish a strong motive the adoption of an enlightened commercial p olic y , d t :1,6 1 1 n o t only will her own resource s be devt lo p ed, 4 ,.' Idle wealth of Europe be greatly a u g mented. There e other c o n siderations which suggest the mselves as we 'Arita,ll4 in relation to Prussia and Aust ria ; but these we e not now space to discuss." T he weekly return of the Bank of England up lest Saturday is just what we had anticipated. 116 f•Alling off in the bullion is not quite s o g reat 4 4 Was yesterday reported, but it is su ffi c ient to BhcW a heavy demand, and we apprehe nd it was lik en tina partly for the Turkish loan shipment , in a nti- The discounts were much larger, but e te was no change in the Government sec urities.

AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Sept. 11. —The Wanderer and . the Donau, which have always been the staunch friends of the Western Powers, now loudly rejoice in their success. The latter writes— " The Russians have been obliged to retreat to the northern f , rt.i. A combined attack, from the harbour with the fleets and from the Tcbernaya with the army, and the Allies, elated as they must be by their recent victory, will surely drive Prince Gortechakoff into the inieri ,r of the Crimea. A-shott autumn campaign, and ti.e Taurid Peninsula will pass from the hands of Russia into those of the conquerors of the West." The Wanderer expresses its satisfaction that Sebastopol should have fallen at such an opportune moment. The King of Naples will now see that he cannot hope for assistance from Russia, the Russo- German party in Greece will be less turbulent, and Austria may, perhaps, take courage. The Em peror Francis Joseph, as the ally of Queen Vic toria and of the Emperor Napoleon, will natu rally offer them his congratulations on the suc cess of their arms. The Austrian Government is in a curious position. It has no predilection in favour of the policy of Russia, it dislikes England, and has no confidence in the durability of the pre sent order of things in France. In the foregoing sentence may perhaps be found the key to the pre sent policy of Austria. We learn from Berlin that Prussia is greatly inclined to take advantage of the present favourable oppartuuity for getting rid of the onerous Sound duties. M. Lembke, who acts for Prussia, is said to have proposed to the Danish Government to "capitalise" the Sound duties, and to pay a Certain sum once for all. The Oesterr. Zeitung has a leader on the state of things in Italy, in which the policy of France is lauded at the expense of her ally. All the Austrian papers which ale influenced by Government play the same game, and endeavour to make mischief between the two Western Powers ; but the alliance has al ready so often been sealed in blood, that a few scraps of inked paper are not likely to disturb it. During the last few days the cholera has carried off several persons belonging to the higher classes of society, and as a big tree makes more noise when it falls than many little ones, there is a slight panic in the city. Vienna is not a disagreeable place to pass a few days or weeks in, but those persons who are afraid of the cholera would do well not to visit it just at present. In the little province of Carniola, the capital of which is Laibach, there have been 12,272 cases, of which only 3,402 have proved fatal: in Vienna, however, more than half the persons attacked die, and that within a few hours. As you were led to expect would be the case, the Em peror has Leen shooting in the Styrian woods and mountains. Near Brand hof, which is the property of the Archduke John, his grand-uncle, his Ma jesty shot several chamois. The Emperor, who was dressed as a Styrian " jager," was received with enthusiasm by the people. Count Colloredo- Wailsee, the Austrian Minister at the Court of St. James's, has received a month's leave of absence, and is expected here to-morrow. General Baron Prokesch has returned to Frankfort, but he pro bably pays a farewell visit to his diplomatic col leagues in that city. The military diplomatist goes to Constantinople, " and being a man of strong self-will, he will be the better able to cope with Lord Redcliffe." It will be seen that within a fortnight after his arrival at Constanti nople Baron Prokesch will be on the very best terms with M. de Thouvenel, and at drawn daggers with the representative of Great Britain. M. Isaac Pereire is here, and it is related that he and the Credit Mobilier are about to render Baron Bruck material assistance towards the regulation of the Austrian finances. HAY SIAKKETS.

The Captain-General of Catalonia had begged the newspapers to refrain from speaking of military movements or of those of the bands of insurgents. M. Orlando, commissary-general, had left for the Crimea to study the organisation of the allied armies. A letter of the 10th says : " The reorganisation of the moderado party continues to be spoken of, but it encounters difficulties, owing to the reluctance of Count de San Luis and his partisans to effect a fusion with certain persons. Queen Christina is said to be anxious that the party should take upon itself the responsibility of the acts of the Government previous to the revolution of July. Notwithstanding the assertions in foreign newspapers, the greatest cordia lity prevails between Generals Espartero and O'Donnell. The financial situation is improving, and a return in the Gazette shows that 137,710,620 reals of the loan of 230,000,000 have been voluntarily subscribed (the real is worth five sous). Some provinces have subscribed almost all that was required from them ; those of Barcelona, Gerbils, Leon, Madrid, Seville, and Tarragona are in this category. No amount was fixed for Biscay and Navarre, but the f.rmer has subscribed 1,000,000 and the latter more than 2,000,000 reals. A Carlist band of nine men, which appeared in the vicinity of the royal residence of San Fernando a few days ago, was attacked by the civil guard, and four of them were killed, three wounded, and three escaped by jumping into the Tagus."

CEIALK. ant h sh is ou w i a d s naostunibenloCnOsnamthitstheodwfoCrantlsoet.cwohmyptihyeindgef:itdh an order of this Court. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant, and pleaded that he had petitioned the Insolvent Court and obtained his interim order. He bad not, however, had a first hearing in consequence of the vacation at the In solvent Conrt. The defendant banded in his protection dated 20th July, and a copy of the debt inserted in his schedule. The p'aintiff said the defendant on the 12th July was summoned to this Court, and offered to pay the debt by instalments of 1/. a month, which he accepted. The insolvent said he did so, intending at the time to apply to the Insolvent Court, but he was not sure he should obtain his protection. His Honour said there could be no doubt but for that promise of payment which was made, to gain time to petition the Insolvent Court, judgment would have been given at that time for the immediate payment of the amount claimed. As a general rule, he did not inter fere in insolvent cases, but only where he saw fraud contemplated. In this case only eight days elapsed after the judgment on the defendant's promise, be fore he petitioned the Insolvent Court, and obtained his interim order, and he should therefore put in force the special provision in the County Court Act applicable to these cases, and ordered the defendant to be committed for seven days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(T.HIS DAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. IMPORTANT TO MARINE STORE DEALERS.—Mr. Alderman Wire, on taking his seat this morning, said he had folly considered the objection raised by Mr. Lewis, in the case of Taylor, the marine store dealer, whose case tce reported yesterday, and he was reluc tantly c.mpelled to yield to the arguments of Mr. Le Nis and dismiss the summons. There could be no doubt the act of Parliament was primarily passed for the protection of the mercantile marine, and persons having G UILPTIALL. UTTERING FORGED LETTERS OP CREDIT.—The two Spaniards, Cortaza and Masip, were placed before Alderman Finals for final examination, charged with obtaining two sums of 1,1001. and 7001. by means of forged letters of credit. Mr. Mullins appearel for the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner for the prisoners. Mr. Mullins stated that since the last examination of the prisoners be had bad an interview with the French Minister of Justice, at Paris, and had succeeded in in tercepting two letters containing the whole of the money obtained by these forged letters of credit, with the excep tion of 5,000 f. The money was forwarded to Paris in two letters, addressed in Masip's handwriting to him, Poste Restante, Paris. The letters were posted at the General Post•office in London, after seven o'clock on the night of the prisoner's apprehension, by Masip, and after Cortaza was in custody. The evidence of the gentlemen connected with the Spanish houses, whose names the prisoners bad forged to the letters of credit having been examined, and some other evidence given, The prisoners were committed for trial. BOW-STREET. MORE POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES. —This morning n middle-aged man, named Rickard Walker, a sorter in the General Post-office, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing two letters supposed to contain money. Mr. Peacock; the Post-office solicitor, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Willis Clare stated that he resided at Mile-end, and was an inspector of letter-carriers. The prisoner was a sorter in the General Post-office, and was on duty this morning, when his attention was called to the prisoner by the repeated passages he made by the lift, and 41so at receiving letters from him out of the ordinary course. The lift communicated with the let ter-carriers' department and the inland department. He (witness) then gave instructions to see whether be travelled up in company with other persons or singly, and from information he bad received be sent for the prisoner to attend him at h:s private room, and upon his arriving he accused him of secreting letters, and that he believed at that moment he had some upon his person. The prisoner denied , the accusation, and stated that he bad no objection to be searched, but that be bad changed his coat during the morning. Smee was then called, and he saw him (Smee) take the two letters produced from the pri soner's pocket, which bore the day stamp. One of the letters was directed to Mr. K. Tuck, Great Western Stables, London-street, Pa ldington, and the other to Mr H. Toorner, 117, Lerrington-street, Vauxhall-road, We.tininster. On the letters being produced, the pri soner said he knew nothing about them, and that some person must have placed them in his pocket. The pri soner had been in the service of the Post-office for nearly 15 years, and his salary was IL 15s. 9d. per week. Smee, one of the police-constables at the Post-office, stated that about 10 minutes past 8 this morning he was called into Mr. Clare's office, and having searched the prisoner found two letters in the breast-pocket of his coat, which he handed to Mr. Clare. On asking the prisoner to account for their being in his pocket, he stated that he did not know the letters were in hie pocket, and that some one must have placed them there, as he had changed his coat early in the morning and left the one he then wore for some time under the stair. The cent, an old black one, was then shown to Mr. Ohre, who stated that the assertion of the prisoner was false, as he had not worn the black coat the whole of the morning. He then took the prisoner into custody. Cummins, one of the sorters, at the Post-office, said the prisoner and himself came on duty at 5 o'clock this morning, and his notice was specially directed to him by the repeated journeys be made by himself to the lift, when there was room for him to ascend with other parties. The coat he had now on was the coat be wore the whole morning. He had • watched him the whole of the morning, and he could swear that the prisoner never changed his coat , The magistrate asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge, when he repeated that the letters must have been pladed in his pocket by some villain. The prisoner was then remanded to enable the writers of the letters to attend, but it was intimated to him that next week he would be committed for trial. Grace, a letter-carrier, was this morning fully com mitted to take his trial for stealing three letters. Citcsrles Simpson, the Barnet letter-carrier, was also committed for trial this morning for stealing a letter. THAMES. HORRIBLE CRUELTY TO A WlFE.—George Rood, a la bourer, a singularly ill-favoured, dissipated-looking fel low, of No. 2, John-street, Charles-street, St. George in-the East, was brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with attempting to murder his wife, Ann Rood, and throwing her from the first•floor window of her dwelling into the street. The prosecutor, who was led into court, and was in a very weakly condition from loss of blood, stated that her husband had long been in the practice of ill-using her. He came home last night drunk, and took her child from her, and after throwing it across the room, commenced swearing at her, and kicked her. She went to the assistance of her child, and he said, " It's you I want. I have been waiting to do this a long while, and I am determined to be strung up for you, and I shall not be satisfied till I have taken your life." He then took the child from her again. She took it from him, and a struggle ensued, and he agaite kicked her and beat her She went towards the window, which was broken, and threw up the sash, and, being fearful the child would be killed, she dropped it into the arms of a neighbour in the street, and called out "Murder." She was hanging out of the window, and calling on the neighbours to assist, whe❑ her husband raitied her by the heels and delibe rately threw her out of the window into the street. She was most feat fully bruised, and was rendered insensible. The poor woman, who was in great pain, here sobbed aloud, and was assisted to a chair. _ _ Several neighbours of the parties spoke to the brutal conduct of the prisoner, and said that he had often threatened to kill his wife, and Mr. Field, an undertaker, said the prisoner was a most brutal drunken scamp, con tinually inebriated : the wife was a sober woman and very industrious. Henry Groves, 251 K, said he beard screams of murder last night in John-street, and saw the woman hand her child to the people below. Directly afterwards the pri soner lifted her up and, using horrible imprecations, threw her out of the window. The prisoner on being called on for his defence, said, in a sullen manner, "I have nothing to say." Mr. Ingham—Of all the abominable and cruel cases of assault on woman it has been my lot to hear this is the worst ; and if the Legislature had given me the power to inflict a sentence of 12 months' imprisonment and bard labour, I would have enforced it in this case. I sentence the prisoner to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, and at the end of that period he is to enter into sureties to keep the peace towards his much ill used wife, and all her Majesty's subjects for the space of 12 months. The prisoner was immediately sent away in the van to prison. LLOYD'S SECIPPING-(THIS DAY.) 'LONDON, Sept. 15.—Wind this day at noon, N.W., mo derato breeze and fine weather. (PER ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

Thursday's Debats contains the following notes on the present occupation of the allied army, from the pen of Colonel St. Ange " The allied army, in possession of Sebastopol and released from the stern and perilous labours of the trenches, already sees before it, in the more or less distant future, new vistas of glory ou the plains of th e C r i mea . But before taking the field it will have to adapt itself to the new situation cleated by its success, and to take in hand the work of organisation, supposing that it is intended to keep Sebastopol, as appears probable. The following, then, is a slight sketch of what has now to be done, and of what is doubtless being done at this mo ment. " To explore the interior of Sebastopol, to ascer tain the state of the various localities, to purify and clear the town, examine the buildings with an eye to the lodgment of the troops, to bring in for the moment a few battalions which .will place sentries where required and preserve good order, and to collect what inhabitants may be left for the pur pose of employing them in removing the rubbish, the remainder of the army meanwhile remaining encamped in its positions. " To disarm all our siege batteries, and transport the guns, mortars, and projectiles on board ship ; to remove also all the sapping and mining tools, as likewise the gabions and earthsack - s that may still be made serviceable ; and, lastly, to fill up all the trenches. _ _ _ " To restore the place to a state of defence by repairing its chief fortified area, demolishing at the same time the superabundant works, that would compel us to leave in it too numerous a garrison. " Finally, to inspect the guns, arms, and other objects of war left by the enemy in the town, to make out a list of their condition, divide them among the allied powers, and carry them off, ex cept such as may be deemed useful for arming the place, the requisite changes being kept in view. The military stores abandoned by the enemy in his precipitate flight must be immense, as General Pelissier has already announced. " Such, then, is at least the enumeration, though a very abridged one, of what has to be done when taking possession of a captured fortress ; and we think there will be occupation of this nature for a month. _ _ "It has been asked if Sebastopol is tenable so long as the Russians remain masters of all the forts on the north side which line the sea in front of the town. Undoubtedly it may be held in spite of this. We received balls and bombs in our roofless trenches, sheltered merely by parapets thrown up in haste, under the fire even of grape and mus ketry, and we did not ou tat account abandon the trenches. In Sebastopol we shall be sheltered from the balls by the walls of the houses—in deed, of several houses at once ; no fire of grape or musketry need be feared at the distance the enemy is now at (from 1,200 to 1,400 yards). As for the bombs, we may screen ourselves from them as the Russians themselves did against ours, by constructing strong hurdles with earth upon heni. We cannot want the materials, since the Russians had not time to burn and destroy every. thing in this great city. It is true that the occu pation of the north by the Russians prevents our entering the roadstead and the port. But what. need we of them, when we already possess the ex cellent harbours of Cape Chersonesus ? Have not our fleets already passed the winter without incur ring any danger in those waters ? " It has also been asked if the Allies will have to undertake, now or latter, the siege of the forts on the north side. There appears no absolute ne cessity for so doing. That would be binding our selves down again to labours slow and painful as those which have occupied us so long, and cost us so many efforts, so many men, and so much money. The key to those forts is in fact a victory over the Russian army in the Crimea ; then they would fall of themselves, seeing that they must be instantly abandoned. Or, if the Russians choose to retain them still, a blockade and famine will compel thew to surrender; and this is a humiliation that Rus sia's pride dreads more than al ] the rest. The forts of the north side can consequently neither prevent our occupation of Sebastopol, nor can they thwart our operations in the interior of the Crimea, on account of their eccentric situation. We should not be surprised at their being blown up so soon as the Russian army is compelled to retreat from the neighbourhood of Sebastopol. " The respective position of the two armies re mains the same, and will do so until one of the two shall take the initiative of a movement that will force the other to manoeuvre in its turn. For the present, the allied army holds its strong posi tions on the Tchernaya, on the Fedukhine moun tains, on Mount Sapoune, and the table-land of Sebastopol, until the occupation of the town shall have been properly arranged, and its chief defences thoroughly repaired. It does not appear to have anything else to do at present. " The Russian army, for its part, occupies the excellent positions of Mackenzie, strongly en• trenched and lined with redoubts like our own. On both sides the capability exists of receiving the attack with chances tolerably equal of serious resist ance and success, and with the equal risk of losing a great many men. The Russians will probably continue in observation before us within their strong positions until the allied army gives signs of some movement. But what will that movement be ? Shall we venture to attack in front the Mac kenzie heights, where the road from Simpheropol winds along ? Shall we penetrate into the heart of the Crimea by another route ? If so, by what route, and when ? All these are premature ques tions. Let us avoid tracing our imaginary plans of campaign. Rather let us permit time to develope the events, or if our imagination must needs out strip facts, the field of conjecture is open." MEMOIE BY CoUNT NESSELRODE. Besides the note to Prince Gurtschakoff, given in another column, there exists a memoir on the situa tion of Russia, by . Count Nesselrode, a paper not strictly diplomatic, but composed for the use of the Czar's representatives at foreign courts, and designed to give them the means of combating the prevalent belief that Russia is too much exhausted to carry on the war. Le Nord offers the subjoined analysis of this memoir from the pen of its Berlin correspon dent : A year ago Russia, taken, so to speak, by surprise, could not dispose of all her forces. Her troops had not then bad time to take their stations along all her fron tiers, from Archangel to the Black Sea and its Asiatic confines. Neither had she been able to take iu the interior all the measures necessary for resisting a for midable attack upon her several extremities ; and yet she has resisted. Russia now disposes of all her troops ; a national levy has appeared as if by en chantment, fully armed, mounted, and organised, for the purpose of replacing the regular regiments, where they were of secondary utility. The spirit of the nation has come to the assistance of the Government, not alone in the equipment of this new and numerous military con tingent, but even in the means of transport for the troops. The loan that Ru,eia contracted last year, notwith standing the interdict which her enemies thought fit to lay upon it not only in their own countries, but even in the capitals of neutral countries, but nevertheless suc ceeded, and is now entirely paid up. Her financial credit, that index of a nation's resources, on the exchanges even of those very countries which are waging war against her, has remained, so to Break, un shakeable. At the commencement of the war Russia might have felt some trepidation respecting her commerce, but now she sees that she is sufficie►,t to herself. Th blockade of her ports has not only failed to produce al those results which might for an instant have been ap prehended, but she has even been enabled thereby to a-- certain the greatness of her owu resources, as also the rapid and marvellous progress made of late years by her national manufactures. Her interior commercebas con siderably increased, and her foreign trade has opened for itself a new outlet, which every day assumes vast di mensions. Lastly, Russia has been tried by one of those mourn ful and sad events which, far from weakening the coun try, has in a manner reahitnatad it with fresh ardour. A change of reign has taken place ; a prince beloved and regretted has disappeared, leaving to his son the sacred inheritance, so resolutely accepted, of defending the national honour, even to the last extremity. This in heritance has been in part shared also by the entire nation, which, cidlected and united, has taken upon it , elf the task of enabling its new sovereign to enter into possession, and support the burthen of it, by sharing ...ith him also the weight of its responsibility. Russia has done more ; not merely has she prepared to resist, and permanently resist, but she has found the posqbility of carrying her arms abrr.ad into the territory of that enemy who first declared war against her and who is now, far more tha n herself, menaced an:l con quered. Russia, in short, has now fallen back upon herself that she may give greater impetus to all ber elements of resistance, in the midst of which she will await, calm, resigned but resolute, until it may please her enemies to make to her such proposals of peace as she can subscribe to without giving the lie to her past history, and with out degrading herself for the future. If her extremities are attacked, her heart is not, and its nature is such that it will blunt the keenest blades that may attempt to pierce it, and army, her abroad s , If we bestow a glan ce at the conse q uences, whi ch these two years of war have bad for the two g reat odt foic e P Eng land a llied against the RusSian emp ire, w e s hall see that land has lost her sole , her brilliant, and costly ng ts, na val prestige, her consideration at home co mpromised, repudiated, and used up her m emi nent statesmen ; annihilated the authority an of her Parliament , and sapped thhe principle o f w hi c h she was at all times so proud — freedom. We see how she has doubled in t wo ye ar s oft her national her income tax, ihcrea-ed th e Ex chequer Bills, as likewise hernumber of her the heavy charges of a n immense public debt, by the present form 4 tin goyer new loan. In France, if express tacitly either one' tent does not permit one to s wishes or complaints or griefs, we yet know that this war has already cost her within the space of two years 70,000 of her childres, besides several loans, that have added to her budget a debt of nearly five milli,rds. As for Turkey, these two years of war have sufficed to cause hEr disappearance, if not from the region of right, at all events fr•im that of fact. By the admission of her own allies, she has lost 1:0,000 men. If she nas an) r: en left, she has an army that no longer belongs to her ; she is obliged, in order to pro cure money, to pledge the revenue from Egypt and her custom dues at Smyrna. In both Asia and Europe the allies have military occupation of her ; Corstantinople and its keys are in the hands of the French, and Lord Redoliffe is endeavouring to replace the Sultan. I do not (says the correspondent of Le Nord) pre tend to have given you in the above lines the exact text of the arguments made use of in the document of the St. Petersburg cabinet. But with the slight difference of a few facts and figures that have es caped me, or which could not be given me, I think I have stated to you with tolerable accuracy its meaning and tendency. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. GLASGOW, SEPT. 13. SECTION A.—MATHEMATICAL AND POYSICAL ScitifcE. The Rev. Professor KELLAND in the chair. A paper on Luminous Meteors, by Professor Powell ; a paper on the Radiant Spectrum, by Sir David Brews ter ; an Account of Experiments on the Force of Eleo tro Magnets, by J. P. Jole, Esq. ; on the Effect of Me chanical Strain on the Thermo-Electric Qualities of Metals, and on Peristaltic Induction of Electric Cur rents in Submarine Telegraph Wires, by Professor W. Thomson ; on the Velocity of Transmission of the Elec tric Telegraph, by Mr. Whitehouse ; and on the Mag netism of Iron Ships, and its Changes, by Dr. Scoresby, were read. After which the meeting adjourned till next morning. SECTION B.—CHEIIICAL SCIENCE. The business before this section to day was not im• portant. • SECTION C.-GEOLOGY. Sir R. I. MURCHISON in the chair. Mr. HUGH MILLER 'read a paper of considerable length on the Less Known Fos , il Floras of Scotland ; and Professor HAnicxEss, on the Lowest Sedimentary Rocks of Scotland. SECTION D.-ZOOLOGY AND ROTA NY, INCLUDING PHYSIOLOGY, Professor FLEMMING in the chair. The first paper read was on the ;fleets of last winter upon vegetation at Aberdeen, by Dr. DIcKIE, Professor of Natural History, Queen's College, Belfast. A report on Typical Forms for Museums, by Profes sor Henslow, was read by Dr. LANKESTER, in the tem porary absence of the author. Mr. R. PATTERSON exhibited a set of zoological draw ings, prepared for the Department of Science and Art. The other papers read in the ►ection were the follow- ,ng,viz : Mr. E. J. LOWE—On a Singular Mortality among the Swallow tribe ; and Dr. DCNCAN on the Impregna tion of Phanerogamua Plants. SECTION E. - GEOGRAPHY AND ETIINOLOGY. Sir JOHN RICHARDSON in the chair. Dr SHAW read the report of the late expedition up the Niger and Tehadda rivers, addressed to the Lords of the Admiralty, by Dr. W. Balfour Baikie, F.R.G.S. RICHARD Cum., EFq., read a paper " On come Water. coliiur Portraits of Natives of Van Diemen's Land." Dr. SHAW then read a paper by Dr. Barth, communi cated through the Foreign-office, and describing Tim huctoo. Before reading the paper, Dr. Shaw informed the meeting that Dr. Barth had just arrived in London in safety. The next paper was by J. B. Davis, F.S.A., " Ou the kulls of the Ancient Romans." SECTION F. - STATISTICS. Mr. NIONCKTON MILNES, M.P., in the chair. Professor WALSH read a paper " On the condition of the Labouring Population of,Tamaica, as connected with the present state of Landed Property in that District." Mr. W. NEwltancli delivered a paper On the Enn ;ration of the last Ten Years from the United Ki'igdom and from France, and from Germany." During the last Eve years Mr. Newtnarch showed that 500,000 persons Innually had passed from Europe to the North American Continent and Australia ; 300,000 of these had gone from the United Kingdom, and the remainder from Central Europe. The increase in our population was thus being annually drained off, and the result could not fail to have material effects on the state of the population in this country. Sixty or seventy per cent, of the emigration from the United Kingdom has been from Ireland. The ffect has materially raised the wages of the labourer. France would seem to have been but little sift cted by the desire to emigrate. Mr. Newmarch proceeded to advert to the wonderful progress of the colonies of North America and Australia--a progress altogether without any parallel in the previous history of the world. Mr. YATES referred to the passion which existed iu Switzerland for leaving their country for another, where they can acquire a small piece of ground. Mr. HEYWOOD said a deliberate system of religious persecution exists in some of the German States, which, 410 doubt, accounts for much of the emigration from that quarter of the globe. Mr. FARE remarked that the tide of emigration from Ireland was evidently subsiding. The Earl of HARROWBY said it was of great importance to promote emigration. No doubt emigration took away a great portion of the population, but then they became our customers, arid we should rejoice that we Ire able to become the fertile mother of nations. Mr. NEWMARCH having brit-fly replied, The CHAIRMAN communicated to him the thanks of the section. Professor ALLEN BUCHANAN, of Glasgow, read a paper, "On the Physiological Law of Mortality, and on , -ertniu Deviations from it, observed about the com mencement of Adult Life." Dr. STRANG, of Glasgow, read a paper "On the Pro -rest 4, Extent, and Value of the Coal and Iron Trade of 'he West of Scotland." Mr. NEWMARCE submitted a paper by John Glyde, jun., E'-q , "On the Localities of Crime in Suffolk." The statistics went to show that the greatest number of criminals in that district came from villages, and not large towns. IBEGEION G.-MECHANICAL SCIENCE. W. J. MACCTOZN RA.NIINE in th• chair. Wm. FAIIIBAIRN, C.E., F.R.S., read a provisional report "On the Strength of Iron Plates," and one upon " Boiler Explosions," which were somewhat inconclusive on account of the limited time which had been permitted for experiment and observation. W. J. M. RANKINE read a paper "On Practical Tables of the Pressure and Latent Heat of Vapours," in which , everal new facts and principles were brought before the section. C P. SMTTH, astronomer royal of Scotland, read a paper " OLI the Transmission of Time Signals." JAMES THOMSON, A.M. C.E., read a paper "O n Practical Details of the Measurement of Running Water by Weir Boards." THE CONVERSAZIONE. On Thursday evening a conversazione of the ladies and gentlemen belonging to the Association was held in the Nl'Lellan Rooms and Gallery. It was altogether the most brilliant affair of the kind which has ever taken place in Glasgow. The company began to assemble a little before nine o'clock, and poured in, without inter mission, until there were fully 1,500 ladies and gentle men present, the former in full dress. The crowd be came so dense that locomotion was almost impossible ; good humour and gaiety, however, actuated every one. About half•past nine the Lord Provost entered the halls, leading in the Countess Campello, and accompanied by Prince Lucier, Bonaparte, the baud playing " Partant pour la Syrie." Their reception was of the most cordial and respectful kind. WEAVERS' CONFERENCE ZN GLASGOW. The delegates met yesterday at ten o'clock, in the Masons'-hall, Smith's-court, Candleriggs. They divided themselves into deputations to call upon the manufac turers. On their return they gave in their reports, which were to the effect that the manufacturers, in ge neral, were willing to advance their wages on condition that the weavers would only accept work from those who would pay the highest wages, and refuse to w•)rk for those who would not pay the advance. One company, in particular, Messrs. J. and A. Marshall, said they were paying 34d. for 1400's ginghams, and were willing to pay more it others would do so. Another manufac turer of white work put on id. per ell yesterdsy. Others said they would pay up in two or three weeks. On the whole the weavers consider that their request will t , and se the houses weaverswho be fully realised in a shorC time. Resolutions were unanimously carried. 1. "That it is the mind of this meeting that the firms who refuse to advance be made known in all the dis tricts attentiongoingto on ho itnriscttrsucwtehdertootthueryn h have work w have so cordially responded to our request. 2. "That as the executive council will have much work to do, it is necessary that all the districts be re quested to furnish pecuniary aid as ear' order ta enable the council to Ca yRS possible, in carry out the work so au , piciously begun." The books of the society were rudited by the dole gates from Auchterarder andEaglesham Andrew Christie and James M`Minn—and found correct. BANK or ENGLAND. —The o — atette returns of the Bank of England last evening show a further diminution of 721,742/ in the st'.ck of bullion, and the expectation that the decline would again be large caused heaviness in the stock-markets throughout the day. Looking, however, at the movements in the rate of discount, the fall has ' , till been singularly limited, and is such as to show the perfect confidence that exists throughout the country in the general soundness of trade. Consols for money, whieti left off last evening at 90i, were first quoted 903 to 4, and this was the closing official price, although for a moment they touched 904. After regu lar hours there was more flatness, and the final trans actions were at 90a for money and 90L to a for the 12th of October. The operations during the day were not extensive, but there was a continued demand for money, although to a it 89 extent than was experienced a day or two back. The applications for discount at the Bank are very numerous, and, notwithstanding a fur ther improvement in the foreign exchanges, gold is still in course of withdrawal, large sums being remitted, it is said, to Vienna for corn purchases on the Danube. Dull I weather and a slight additional rise in wheat likewise . t .nded to increase the causes o f d e p ress ion. On the other hand, the notifications of fresh sums of gold on their routs from AuNtralia, coupled with the less severe accounts of the French losses before Sebastopol, were calculated to have a sustaining influence.
