Spirit of the Public Journals• (From the Morning Advertiser of this day.) If, at times, we Condemn the course which Lord Palmerston, in particular circumstances, thinks proper to pursue, it is n ot with the view of impair ing the strength of his Government , but the oppo site. We are anx ious to see his grasp of power so firm that he shall feel himself in a position to carry out those great principles, both with regard to our foreign and domestic policy, which we consider in dispensable to the prosperity of England at home, a nd her glory abroad. If we have often had occa sion to point out the short-comings of the Premier, we have hitherto been disposed to make great a llowances for the peculiar circumstances in which he has been placed. We know that he has still to contend with unfriendly influences at Court, and that there are within the bosom of his own Cabinet persons who would, any day, be but too happy to trip him up. That consideration has made us, on various occasions, deal out our cen sures on his errors much more lightly than we should otherwise have done. But there are limits to everything ; and there are bounds to our allow ance for the situation in which Lord Palmerston is placed. We cannot always admit the existence of hostile influences at Court, and a covert unfriendly feeling among some of the members of his Cabinet, as an excuse, much less a justification, for measures which are manifestly at variance with the national interests and the national honour. And here it is right we should speak in plain terms. If the Premier would retain his position as the head of the Government the time has come when he must divest his mind of that dread of dis pleasing the Court, and that fear of forfeiting the friendship of certain of his colleagues in the Cabinet, which have hitherto prevented his acting up to his convictions of what what would be most be coming his position, and most conducive to the public good. He has been influenced and paralysed by these feelings too long. If he would insure the permanence of his Premiership, and be in a posi tion to present a manly front, alike to friends and foes, he must assert his own dignity and indepen dence as First Minister of the Crown, by acting in every various class of circumstances as his judg ment may dictate. He must boldly break through the trammels in which he has hitherto been held, both to the Court and to a clique in his Cabinet. He must practically forget that there is either a Court or an adverse Cabinet clique, when the ho nour and the interests of the country are at stake. Lord Palmerston ought to remember that he is the servant of the nation, not of the Court. The Court occupies but a secondary place, compared with the people, in the Constitution of England. There is no principle so broadly laid down by all our ac knowledged writers on the Constitution as the great principle—that all power proceeds from the people. The country was not made for the Court, but the Court for the country. A regard, there fore, for constitutional principles, as well as for the security of his own position as Premier, should prompt Lord Palmerston to set the Court, and its minions in the Cabinet, at defiance, whenever their views or wishes coma into collision with his own convictions of wha: is most conducive to the inter ests of the country. We repeat what we have already said, that the great error which the Noble Lord has hitherto committed is, that of standing too much in awe of the influences which prevail in high places. It is the fear of offending parties who bask in the sun shine of Court favour that has prevented his giving the Colonial SJcretaryshirito one of several persons whom it were easy to name, who possess all the requisite qualifications fur it, and offering it to others who had no claims to it whatever beyond the circumstance of their being favourites at Court. Why does not Lord Palmerston assume a firm tone and resolute bearing with reference to all the leading appointments which it devolves upon him to make ? If he is to be held responsible to the country for his acts, why not courageously insist on being a free agent, and pursuing that in dependent course without which he is Minister only in name ? Let him begin now. Let him at once appoint to the Colonial Secretaryship whatever person he deems the fittest for the office. The high character, extensive information, and great admi nistrative capacity of 'Mr. Charles Villiers—to mention only one name—point out that right hon. gentleman as one that would ably and satisfactorily discharge the duties which attach to the office of Colonial Secretary. The appointment of Mr. Vil liers to that or any other vacant office, with a seat in the Cabinet associated with it, would be emi nently popular among all classes of the community. And here we repeat—what we have for years said over and over again—that it is discreditable in the highest degree to our leading Liberals in power that Mr. Charles Villiers sh - ould not have been in the Cabinet long before now. He was the real author of Corn-law repeal. He ably, zealously, and perseveringly advocated the abolition of the bread monopoly for many years before the names of Cobden, or Bright, or any of their contemporary Anti-Corn-law agitators had ever been heard of beyond the little circle cf their own private friends, and even when the public were most apathetic on the subject. Mr. Villiers has, moreover, been one of the most consistent public men of the day. He is, let us add, as much respected in the House of Conirnons as he is loved by the country. Why 'then is the injustice done to the Right Hon. Gentleman of excluding him from the Cabinet ? Why is the country deprived of the services of a man who, as a Minister of the Crown, could be of the greatest benefit to it ? Why, let us further ask, should Lord Palmerston deprive himself of the additional strength which the accession of such a man as Mr. Villiers would give to his Government? If the Noble Lord would but resign himself t) the impulses of his own mind, which we be lieve to be, iu the main, in consonance with popular views and wishes, and resolutely pur sue, in all emergencies, the course which he -regards as right, ho would attract to his standard the overwhelming majority of the people, and en trench himself so firmly in his position that not only would the Court party be unable to jeopardise his Premiership, but they would even cease to at tempt to molest him. Let Lord Palmerston henceforth cease to stand in a foolish, because un founded, fear of the " Families " and Germanism. Let him dismiss his groundless apprehensions, and throw himself on the sympathies and support of the people. No Minister , or Statesman, ever in vain reposed a generous confidence in the people. Lord Palmerston has the country entirely with him. lie cannot fail to t know this as well as we ac do. Why, th en , not up to his knowledge and convictions ? L e t hi m but ad opt our advice, and seek for popular support, instead of looLing to the Court, or to the aristocracy, and he will become one of the most popular Ministers that ever pre sided at the head of affairs iniEngland. TEE APPBOArTHING STRIKE AT MANCII ESTER. The notices given to the operatives at Manchester by master spinners, which would expire last night, were the following :—Messrs. Binley'e, Sharpe's Kelly and Gilcr;our's, Kennedy a nd Co.'s, Charles Clarke s, Bar ton's, Wood's and Clarke and Perry's. The minders of self-actors and pieces in all these mills have expressed their determination to leave work rather than accept the terms offkred to them. A large meeting of these werkpeople was to be held last night, to further consider the subject. In the meantime a number of the opera tives have presented the following address to their em ployers " Gentlemen,—minders "Manchester , Nov. and, IpBisesce.rs in your employ , beg respectfully to address yo u. , Yon have thought proper to give us notice of a reduc tion in our wages. Before that notice expires we beg re spectfully to sug ges t the expediency of adop ti ng a nother course, viz., a te mporary reduction in the t i me o f work ing, say from 60 to 40 hours in the week. We are fully aware that your trade has, generally, been unprofitable during the present year, and are quite willing to join you in any measure that may he calculated to alter this• state of things, but we submit that a reduction of wages is not one of them. It is remarkable that while you propose to relieve your selves by a reduction of wages, which, however important to us, is only a email d ec i ma l of the cost of production, you are giving 10 per cent. of an advance within the last fortnight to the holders of cotton in Liverpool • and, if we may judge by th e ex t ent of your purchases aethis ad vance, it seems almost incredible that it can be of import ance to you to take from our earnings such a small proper of the cost of production. Gentlemen, we submit to you that at present there is too large a production of yarn and goo ds and too small a stock of cott on i n this country, and that the simplest plan (and one most consistent with corn won s ense) of remedying the present state of things, is to diminish the production of the yarn by reducing the time of working. This we are quite ready to d o , as regards us the only valid objection to it we can otuselves see is that the examp le ma y not be follo we d i n other dis tricts, we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to ind uce our fellow-workmen t a ll over the country to ass oc i a t e with their masters in adopting co fo u r ri t e he w o l b l c e h c t w w e e i d 'e es i i ° t• v e e . to he wise, humane, and etlicieut • "Gentlemen , excuse us if woseem t ß o e e d x n h e i t b i l o t n sionmeev i euary .

On this point there can be a., doubt, because some large raillowiaers, having been , able to show their position to be a losing one, have re- 1 covered their charges to the income tax for the past year. There are few of the larger millowners who have stopped.work, but many of the small ones who had started business during the prosperity of 1849-53, have stopped, and in so lie of the country districts cases of great suffering and poverty are heard of among the working classes. In Manchester several firms have been obliged to suspend payment during the last few months, and some of the women and children have become chargeable to the union, but it is stated that few of the adult operatives have applied for relief, and that to the credit of the working men generally there is an anti pathy to seek parish relief so long as they can avoid it. With reference to the existing feelings of the opera tives at the present time, the following extract from the Manchester Examiner and Times will be read with in- terest : "Among the pleasing characteristics of this neigh bourhood, and one of the best answers to the cry of ty ranny in the manufacturing districts, are those demon strations of respect, the spontaneous offerings of a kindly feeling, which are so frequently expressed by em-, ployed to employer. The recent marriage of the eldest daughter of Mr. John Wood, of the firm of Wood and Wright, of Clayton-vale and Bank-bridge, gave rise to one of these genial gatherings on Saturday last, when about 800 of the engaged in the works, including both male and female, sat down to an excellent dinner pro vided by Mr. Gaskill, Queen's Arms, New Ashton-road —a banquet which did the worthy host great credit, and which was got up out of a subscription confined exclu sively to the operatives, the managers, and clerks of Messrs. Wood and Wright. An Englishman is nothing without his dinner ; it is then that his genial nature ex pands the more freely ; and a dinner under certain cir cumstances is nothing without its plum-pudding—a valu able commodity, which on the present occasion was libe rally supplied by Mrs. Wood—no less than NO of these being added to the riches of the board. A request to allow the gathering to be held at the works having been granted by Mr. Wood, the dinner took place in one of the large rooms, which was decorated with flowers and evergreens, interspersed with numerous appropriate mottoes, whilst an excellent band increased the cheerful spirit that ap peared to animate all present. After the good things had been freely partaken of—for kindly feeling is gene rally accompanied by good appetite—a deputation from the party proceeded, accompanied by the band of music, to invite Mr. and Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Wright, along with their families, to join the happy scene. On the arrival of this welcome addition to the party, there was enthusiastic cheering whilst the members of the two fa milies took their seats at the dais provided. The chairs heading the three principal tables were taken respec tively by Mr. Pollitt, Mr. Peadlebury, and Mr. Bards ley, the managers of different departments. After the usual loyal toasts had been disposed of. the health of the bride and bridegroom was given and responded to by cheers that made " the welkin ring ;" this was;followed by " health to Mr. and Mrs. Wood and family," which met with an equally enthusiastic reception. When at last silence had been restored, a respectable looking elderly man, named Mark Gregson, a block printer, much esteemed by his fellow-workers as well as by his em ployers, got upon one of the tables, and looking anxiously towards the guests, appeared for some time unable to proceed with the remarks he had intended to make ; at length, in a quaint and naive manner, peculiarly Lanca shire in character, said :—" Something ails me. I don't know what ; but something ails me. I think its grati tude, and I must speak. Fifty-tree years ago I was bound apprentice to Mr. Wood's father, as a calico printer. I have been in his and his son's service ever since. Man never had better masters, and I hope they have not found me an unworthy servant. My father and my mother worked for Mr. Wood's father before me. I've worked for Messrs. Wood and Wright ; but, at the same time, I've worked for myself, and while I've been working for myself, I've been working for them. Now, this is what I call co operation ;' for how could I have worked without em ployers ? I've never wanted a good meal, I don't owe a shilling to anybody, and I haven't a bad coat on my back neither. I'm 66, I've worked for them, but I've been working for myself, and so I hope to work on to the end." This little address, honourable alike to the speaker as to his employers, we need scarcely say, met with loud plaudits, and then Mr. Wood replied in lan guage which affected even to tears many of those pre sent, some of whom had been in his service twenty, thirty, and even forty years. The health of Mr. and Mrs. Wright was also warmly welcomed, and other toasts, to which responses were given by Mr. Wright and Mr. Siddall Wood, B.A.,that would well deserve , notice. We are forbidden, owever, out of respect to the feelings of the individuals. On the departure of the guests there came into the room parties who had been enjoying a more private expression of good will in other rooms of the building, and then the dance became gene ral, lasting until eleven o'clock. The occasion will long be kept in remembrance as one in which there was no thing to interfere with a rational enjoyment, founded upon a grateful tribute of well-earned esteem. Sporting Intelligence.

DEATH OF A NEWSPAPER.—The .Rock, a journal Esta blished in Edinburgh to forward Protestant interests, has, after a brief existence, ceased to live. " This death has renewed with much forces lesson which meas to be widely proclaimed at present—th at i t i s not one of the easiest things in the world to establish a successful newspaper—and that a newspaper without ai distinct ne cessity is sure to end in failure."—Scottiak PreM, Naval and Military Intelligence. The flag-ship Impregnable, 104, Captain Wise, in Hamoaze, struck lower yards and topmasts on Tues day. The screw steam block-ship Centurion, 90, having been masted, was taken into Keyham-dock on Tuesday. The screw steamship Sanspareil, 81, Captain W. J. illiams, and the troop-ship Belleisle, 24, Commander J. Hosken, were towed from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze on Monday. Her Majesty's screw block-ship Blenheim, 60, Cap tain W. H. !dell (" Nemesis "), C. 8., arrived at Spit head yesterday from the Baltic. The corvette Arachne, 18, was 'coppered on Tuesday, and will be taken out of dock at Devonport on Wednes day. The Pearl, steam-sloop, recently built and launched from Woolwich dockyard, is rapidly progressing with her fittings for sea, and will get up her steam in the basin on Friday next for the purpose of trying her ma chinery and engines. She is to be well manned with 20 68-pounders. THE SUN, LONDON THURSDAY .EVEv LNG, NOVEMBER 15 1855 ARRIVAL 07 THE CRESSY. The Cressy, 80, screw, Captain Warren, arrived at the Big Nore about eleven yesterday morning. At 2.30 she came into the harbour with full steam on a little before high water, at the rate of ten or eleven knots an hour, and steamed up to the Blackstakes, where she turned round and came back up the harbour, and has taken up her moorings in the fair way ; when at the Little Nore she saluted the admiral's flag, which was immediately returned. She left Kiel on the 7th inst., about noon, under sail and steam, with a fair win d, going at the rate of 12 or 13 knots an hour ; and just got down to the Vengeance Passage too late to go through, which is a very dangerous passage. Next morning it was a very thick fog. The rudder has been temporarily repaired, consequently did not get under way till 2 p.m. the following day. Second night she got to Rgefness at six p.m., and weighed at eight, and found the Arrogant at anchor off Hertsholm at 10 p.m., where she left the pilot and proceeded home direct. The night before she sailed from Kiel the officers were at a grand ball, and were much disgusted with having to leave so early, in consequence of the ship proceeding to England the following morning. The ball was given by the inhabitants at the club house at Kiel. During her passage she passed the Calmar yesterday, off Lowestoft, bound to Portsmouth. The day she reached Nargen it was blowing very hard from the south-east, under sail alone. The Caesar, Royal George, Nile, and Arrogant left Nargen with the Cressy ; machinery in tolerably good order ; not been on shore, but expects to dock next spring tides. ARRIVAL OF THE OTTAWA AND ARABIA. The steam transports Arabia and Ottawa have arrived at Spithead to-day from the East with invalids. The first named left Constantinople Oct. 27, and Malta Nov. 6, having bad a fine passage home, making it from Malta in 7 days 20 hours. She brings Captain Von Dollop, R.N., Commander Pritchard, R.N., Commander Turner, R.N., Commander Craig, R.N., all on promotion ; Captain Halkett, 71st Regiment ; Capt. Green, 30th, in charge of invalids ; Staff-Surgeon Saunders, in medical charge ; Staff-Dresser Grey ; Mr. Mining, Second Master, R.N. ; Mr. Hurst, Engineer, R.N. ; Captain Donaldson, of the merchant service ; Mr. Ackworth, a director of the General Screw Shipping Company ; 135 military invalids (8 naval), and 23 seamen, who had been prisoners at Odessa since the great gale in the Black Sea in Nov. last. Thera are also a few women and children. The invalids are mostly men who were at the Redan, but 'the majority, indeed all, are getting on very well. The Arabia does not come into harbour till to-morrow. The day before she left Malta, the Al bion, 90, sailed for England ; the Rodney, 90, London, 90, and Niger, 40, screw, remained at Lisbon, for orders. By the Ottowa the following have come to England : Capt. Sawyer, 6th Dragoon Guards ; Cornet Hall, ditto; Lieut. Peachy, 3d Buffs ; Lieut. Wingfield, 71st Regt. ; Staff Assistant-Surgeon Fitzgerald, Commander Cumber. land, Commander Porteaus, and Commander Oldfield, on promotion ; and 133 military invalids. This left Scutari Oct. 25, Malta Nov. 1, and called at Gib raltar, which she left on the 7th. She came into harbour yesterday afternoon, and will disembark the invalids to day. THE GUN-BOATS. The Hind, screw gun-boat, arrived at Sheerness yes terday, about 1 p.m., in tow of the Lizard, paddle, Lieu tenant Christopher. This vessel, it will be remembered, got ashore off Clay, and was despaired of ever being got off ; but, through the assistance rendered by the Lizard, assisted by the able and judicious judgment of Mr. Jack son, second master attendant of the dockyard, this ves sel is safely brought in here, to all appearance not very much injured. The Gleaner, gun-boat, remains at Sheerness to make good defects of machinery, to enable her to leave for Portsmouth. The steam gun-boat; Magpie and Redwing, having had their copper examined and repaired, were taken out of the basin clock at Devonport yesterday. The Thistle, screw gun boat, hauled out of No. I dry dock yesterday morning, and is now in the basin, caulk ing and making good all her defects. The paddle steam-vessel Vixen, Master-Commander R. E. Pym, left Woolwich yesterday to proceed to Portsmouth, Devonport, and Southampton. She takes a mixed cargo of machinery, to the amount of 267 tons, and consists for the most part of the machinery for the Repulse, 90 gun, and 600-horse power, at Pembroke ; four boilers, weighing 80 tons, for the Furious, 16, pad dle, of 400-horse power ; and the greater portion of the engines for the Whiting, gun-boat, at Southampton, weighing 16 tons, and the remainder is filled up with light stores for the western yards. The sailing-transport Eden, No. 107, which arrived off Woolwich Dockyard yesterday afternoon, has on board a quantity of guns which were captured by the English at the taking of Bomarsund. They appear to be made of very excellent metal, and vary from 6-pounders up to 32-pounders. Some of the 6 pounders have as great weight of metal in them as our long 32-pounders, and are of a description of metal nearly approaching bell metal. They number about 80 pieces. The vessel is at present moored alongside the Hebe receiving hulk, awaiting orders. M. Vandenbergh, the Imperial Royal Austrian Con sular Agent at Portsmouth, has, by Imperial decree, been promoted and appointed the Imperial Royal Aus trian Vice-Consul for Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight, Southampton, and the coast as far west as Bridport, in DcrsetQYre, and received his new commissions under the great seal of Austria, accompanied by her Britannic Majesty's Royal licence and approval, under the seal of her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, yesterday morning. The Lords of the Admiralty have rewarded James Newby, late boatswain of her Majesty s ship Sanspareil, with an appointment of that rank to Malta Dockyard, for his intrepidity in saving the lives of men from the Balaklava wrecks last year. The vunnery ship Hotspur, 44, in the Homoaze, is to be fitted as a floating Catholic chapel, for the use of Irish militia expected at Plymouth. A number of 8-inch guns for discharging hollow-shot and shell, and several 32-pounders, for the East India Company's service, as well as the guns f or th e T ur ki s h Government, have been satisfactorily proved at the Royal Arsenal butt at Woolwich. The whole of the machinery lately received from America, and landed on the Arsenal-quay, was yesterday chipped in barges, and forwarded from Woolwich to the small-arras factory, which is nearly completed at Enfield. 60 barges are in constant use there, under Government contract, for the especial service of reshipping and re moving ordnance and other stores. Colonel Sandham, the director of the engineer estab lishment at Chatham garrison, made his half-yearly in spection of the corps of the Royal and East India Com pany's Sappers and Miners, and of their kits and arms yesterday. The troops assembled at half-past 10 a.m. on the general parade of the barracks at Brompton. The number of me❑ was about 500, and a very fine body they are. The whole of the engineer officers was - also present; everything was very satisfactory, and the commanding officer was highly pleased with the order and regularity in which everything is kept belonging to the force. It is generally reported that her Majesty will arrive at Chatham on Friday next, to pay a visit of condolence to those brave troops from the Crimea now in the hospi tal at Fort Pitt, and the supplemental hospital, Bromp ton Barracks. It is also expected that the Queen will inspect the encampment for the Royal Sappers and Miners, which is formed within the works of the fortifi cation; the road leading thereto being formed and covered with fresh gravel.

Kimp ton, and C. B. Thurston. On Monday last the right bun. member for the Kil marnock district of burghs met and aildresseil his con stituents in the 'Town Hall of - Kilmarnock, which was I crowded. He objected to Lord S-auley's proposal that I Parliament should meet earlier, as the only result would be, not to accelerate public business, but only to con sume more time in talk. The House of Commons was too Much in the habit of spending the early part of the session in talk; business being put off to the end and then shovelled through nobody knew how. He divided the members into four classes-Ist, talkers and doers ; 2d, talkers ; 3d, doers ; and 4:41 - 1, the large class who swell important divisions. The talkers in the early part of the session had nearly all their own way, the doers accomplishing the real business in the small hours of the night. Last session of 213 divisions, 56 were after mid night ; and not much had been done, except to vote large supplies to carry on the war. Split up into sections, the house had no great rallying points for parties ; and instead of showing a bold and determined front to the common enemy had been rent by constant dissensions and dis cords, at a time when that assembly should have been united and harmonious. He knew no previous session in which four motions of want of confidence in Government had been made; and it was not for the ad vantage of the country, or the credit of our representative institutions, that there should be constant struggles for the existence of a ministry. As to the war, much as he de plored its calamities, he believed it unavoidable, and that the people had gone into it reluctantly but deliberately, because they believed it to be just and necessary. (Cheers.) The " peace party," in his opinion, had com mitted both a fault and a mistake. Their fault was, that by their language before the war they contributed to create the belief that, under no circumstances, would this country engage in war ; and, since war commenced, they had depreciated our successes, and manifested in our distresses a feeling of something almost like exulta tion. The mistake, which ran through all their reason ing, was, that the war was unprovoked and unnecessary, because we were peaceably inclined ; losing sight of the fact that there are two parties to a war, and that if one is determined to force a quarrel on the other the time would come when the latter must take up the gauntlet. After referring to the aggressive policy of Russia, and its intentions, as clearly incompatible with the security of the other great states of Europe, he expressed the conviction that it was part of the great responsibility of our position that we should take a leading part in resist ing such aggression ; and we might rejoice that this task had fallen to us when Ireland was tranquil and prosper ous, restrictions on free trade abolished, and we had a great and gallant ally to support us. (Cheers.) Instsad of huddling up such a peace as would merely adjourn the question, we must secure the blessings of a lasting peace to ourselves and our children—(applause) —either by exhausting the resources of our antagonist, or by compelling him to yield such substantial guarantees as would ensure the lasting peace of the world, as against the same aggressor. He thought the allies had in the last 15 months made great progress towards the attain ment of that object ; witness Alma, Inkerman, the' Tchernaya, and Sebastopol by land, and the operations of our fleets in the Baltic, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azoff. Never in our history had the same amount of success been attained in the same period at the corn mencement of a great war, when we had the disad van tage of starting with our military and naval establish ments on a peace footing. Still, at the end of the war, he would have these establishments reduced, and thus save large sums for the promotion of industrial pursuits and then we could make an extraordinary effort when an extraordinary emergency arose. In peace we spend on the army and navy 12 to 14 or 15 millions, on an ave rage for the last 20 years ; but in war much more ; in 1854 some 15i millions more than in 1853, nearly double ; and this year the additional expenditure was 35 millions. If instead of 14 millions we had spent 71 millions more annually, during the 40 years of peace, that would be something like 300 millions ; which, far any practical purpose, might as well have been thrown into the sea. We might have been better prepared for war at the outset, but we should have lost all the advan tages of 40 years' accumulation of that money for the social benefit of the people. (Cheers.) He deprecated the spirit abroad in some quarters of depreciating all we had done and were doing, that spirit of detraction which tells us that we have bad troops, generals unfit for anything, ships not what they ought to be, batteries that cannot float ; and in short that we are, in all these and many other respects, worse than any of our neigh hours. (Cheers.) Let us discriminate fairly, and not discourage all exertions by universal depreciation. He saw no just ground for reproaching a ministry on the one hand or an opposition on the other, because it was a coalition. The difficulty was that men thus brought together were not unapt to fall away again : like two pieces of iron welded together when not sufficiently fused, they were very apt to break away again at the joining. Such was the case with the coalition between the friends of Peel, and the liberal party. There was talk of a coali tion opposition between Messrs. Bright, Disraeli, and Gladstone. He doubted very much that any such would take place ; but, if it did, and they should succeed in turning out the present Government, and taking the reins of power themselves, he did not think such a coali tion would be acceptable to the people. Sometimes a mixture of opposite ingredients made a palatable com pound—a salad, for example, with oil, vinegar, and mus tard, was quite palatable ; but he doubted very much if a political salad would be agreeable to the people of this country, compounded of the oil of Oxford, the vinegar of Manchester, and of mustard grown in Buckinghamshire. (Laughter.) That mixture, the people, he thought, would find more pungent than palatable. (Cheers.) He thought all must agree that the present administration had shown a resolute spirit and a desire to carry on the war with vigour and energy, and with all the power and means at their disposal. Public opinion, as expressed in the House of Commons, would say whether Government had dis charged their duty. Meanwhile, it became all true pa triots to create no unnecessary difficulties or impediments in the way of carrying on the Government. (Applause.) Our party differences, after all, were but skin deep, while we had all one object in view, the happiness of the country ; and if that happiness was at present bound up in the success of our armies and fleets, we ought to take care to do nothing by word or deed which might in the slightest degree impede our progress to that end. (Cheers.) On the motion of Bailie Wlnsoss, who presided, a vote of confidence in Mr. Bouverie was unanimously passed. STRAND UNION. ST.

PADDINGTON. —A severe contest is likely to take place throughout this parish. SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR RICHARD SUTTON, BART. We regret to announce the sudden death of Sir Richard Sutton, Bart., which melancholy event took place at his residence (better known as Cambrid g e House), in Piccadilly, yesterday forenoon, under very painful circumstances. The respected baronet had only arrived in town on Monday last from his seat in Nottinghamshire, and rose yesterday morning at his usual hour in apparently excellent health and spirits. After partaking of a hearty breakfast he wrote a letter to a near relative, and then repaired to the closet. His prolonged abeence at length occasioned alarm, and on forcing the door Sir Richard was found dead. Medical assistance was promptly obtained, but the vital spark had fled, and medical aid was of no avail. It was the opinion of the professional gentlemen called in that death had, most likely, resulted from disease or some affection of the heart. The deceased baronet was eldest son of Mr. John Sutton, son of Sir Richard Sutton, formerly Under Secretary of State. He was born Dec. 16, 1798, and when in his fourth year he succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his grandfather, Sir Richard Sutto n , the first Baronet. Th e deceased married Dec. 17, 1819, Mary Eiizabeth Burton, daughter of the late Mr. Ben jamin Burton, of Burton Hall, Carlow, which amiable lady died in January, 1842. The lamented deceased is succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son, Mr. Richard Sutinn, born Oct. 21, 1820, and married in December, 1844, to Emma Helena, daughter of Col. Sherlock. The late baronet was an ardent lover of the chase, and was well known to every sportsman in the midland county. Sir Richard for many years kept the Burton Hounds, and then took to the Cottesmore Hounds when the late Earl of Lonsdale gave up that celebra'ed pack, and for about ten years has been owner of the Quorn Hounds hunting the Melton country. Th e death of the worthy baronet will he deeply regretted by the noblemen and gentlemen who annually rasurt to that sporting metropolis. ExTENSIVE FLOODS IN WALES.—The late heavy rains have caused serious inundations in many parts of the principality, and in some places whole districts have been covered with water. Cattle, ponies, anii sheep have been drowned, embankments swept away, and at one period the Holyhead and Shrewsbury road was five feet under water. In South Wales the lowlands have also been covered with the inundations, and some loss has been experienced in cattle, sheep, hay, &c. A RUSSIAN KNOUT.—The Journal de Villefranche says—" A soldier of the sth Regiment of the Line, coming from Sebastopol, lately passing through this town, showed as a trophy a knout which he had seized on an officer, made prisoner by him in the Crimea. This instrument of correction has a handle about a foot and a half long with a heavy metal at the end. One end is covered over with woven wire, like the handle of a cut ting-v!hip, and at the other is a thick, leather thong. This instrument of serfdom, whioh forms such a con trast with our liberal ideas, excited the curiosity of all who saw it." STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 13.—That falling off in the amount of transactions, both in yarns and goods, which we noticed at the close of last week, has become more decided to-day. There is still a moderate aggregate of sales, but we hear of no extensive ones. Sellers are, however, perfectly firm, at the full prices of last week ; indeed, for some articles they are inclined to harden in their terms ; but buyers are, on the whole, less disposed to operate than they were, as is shown by the fact, not only that they are doing less, but that they are making fewer attempts at business in the shape of offers to pro ducers. There is a general complaint that the very moderate advance which has now taken place is of no benefit to spinners and manufacturers ; and, in reference to this statement, it is worth while to note what has been the actual course of things. Before this rise began there had been a period of decline from the level to which a pre vious rise had carried prices. That decline went on pro gressively, as orders ran out and as stocks accumulated, until at length it reached a point, by the end of last month, which brought buyers freely into the market, even in spite of the existing financial pressure. Spinners and manufacturers were relieved of stocks. Prices be came steadier. As business proceeded, an increasing firm ness arose, and then an upward tendency showed itself in successive 16ths or eighths of a penny per lb., until it may be said to have now raised the average current rates of yarns ed. to td. and in some few kinds, chiefly 30's water, fully Bd. per lb. To some extent, goods rose in about an equal proportion, chiefly such as were suitable for India and China, more especially the latter. But it was before the rise began that the millowners had cleared out their stocks ; and the contracts now in their hands were generally taken either just as values became more regular and steady, or, at best, during the earlier steps in the upward course. The amount of sales effected at the present quotations is extremely limited. Now, the raw material has risen in a greater proportion than the finished article, thus placing the producer of the latter in a worse position than that which he occupied before. Spinners and manufacturers are striving to get further orders at higher prices than those already in their books; but having pretty well supplied their wants, buyers are resting upon their oars (taking only compartively small quantities for assortment), in the expectation that when engagements again come to an end, and fresh accumula tions appear, they will be able to supply themselves anew, at something like the recent low ranges of value. And, in looking for this result, they are only looking for a repetition of previous experiences. In the ebbs and flows of prices, it is in the f ormer th a t the mass of busi ness is done—the latter, are i n grea t part nominal, and always short-lived, breaking in mere froth. The cau tion of buyers is also kept alive by the advancing price of corn, and by the state o f th e money market, which is .again betraying an unfavourable bias, and may possibly, it is feared, be subj ec t e d to renewed restriction. At the same time, we have a telegraphic statement by way of Trieste that the rebellion in India was renewed, and that trade was depressed, when the mail left Calcutta. Notwithstanding this tamer state of our market, and in the face of an impending turn-out in the city, there is a considerable business going on in raw materials, at full prices, in the neighbouring port. We understand that the turn-out alluded to will take place this week. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 13.—The market has been un usually dull this morning, both in the Cloth Hall and manufacturer's shops. Excepting for low goods, there has been scarcely an appreciatee demand for any descrip• tion of Huddersfield goons. The attendance of buyers up to a late hour was more limited than at the previous market during the last six months, but others arrived about noon, and business was better in the shops and warehouses towards the close of the day. Prices con tinue firm, and confidence is very satisfactorily esta blished, so far as the houses in town are concerned, form ing an agreeable contrast to the unfortunate state of things last year about this time. Prices of wool con tinue unchanged, according to most recent advices from the sales now being held in London. To-day is "second Tuesday," or the merchant's monthly payday, and, so far as we have been able to ascertain, claims have been very generally shut. SPECIE.—The specie. brought by the West India steamer yesterday was 167,0001., of which 70,0001. was gold. The gold will all be sent to France, and the silver most probably to China. PnLTCE INTRETIGRNCE—Nor 14. ANSION-HOUSE.—Ma , y Cagan an, 11a,.:-iet Tar,•ant acre brm.glit hef- re the I,,rd Mayor charged under the following c , rcuinstances. Mr. Peacock, the -solicitor to thk, Post-office, attended to watch the case. Mr. Berry, clerk in the public drawing-office of the Bank of England, said—This morning, about half-past nine o'clock, the prisoners came together to the public drawing-office, and Callan presented to me the branch bill at seven days produced for 621. 15s. 5d., which was due this day. We had received information of the loss of the bill, and I found that it was not en. dorsed. I asked them if they knew the parties (Messrs. Hall and Co.) They said no, they did not. I asked them from whom they brought the bill, and Callan told me she brought it from a person of the name of Bun. yard, with whom she stated she had formerly lived as servant. I asked his address. She said it was in the City-road, but she could not tell me any address, or any particulars, except that she thought it was at a carpet warehouse. I took them to the secretary's office, and the officer was sent for. John Spittle (detective) said—Upon being sent for to the secretary's office this morning, I showed Callan the bill produced in the presence of the other prisoner, and asked her if she presented it for payment. She said, Yes, and that she had been sent with it by a Mr. Bun yard, of the City road, with whom she had formerly lived servant. I asked her name and address, and she said, " Mary Cross, No. 34, Foley-street, Oxford-street." I then took thorn both into custody. The other prisoner gave the name of Harriet Tarrant, No. 16, Great Ed ward-street, Regent's -park. When we got outside the office, Callan said, "I'll tell you the truth. I was not going to tell them inside." Pointing to Tarrant, she said, "Her husband picked it up last night, and they came to me this morning with the bill." Tarrant said to me that was correct, and that she had given Callan the note at the police-station. Callan gave me an empty purse, and said she had it from Tarrant to put the money in. I have ascertained that the bill was lost in its trans mission through the post. They both told me their hus bands were waiting outside the Bank, but I could not find them. The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoners. Ann Ri-hton was charged with having stolen a dish. Mr. Solomon appeared for the prisoner, who is a young woman of respectable appearance. Policeman 129 H said—Last evening, at a quarter be fore 6 o'clock, as I was going over London-bridge, I saw the prisoner with two other women. She left the other women and overtook a van that was passing before her, and she reached her hand into the van and tAlbk out this dish. I spoke to a city constable, who went and stopped the van, and I saw the prisoner join the other two fe males, and heard her tell them that she had taken a dish from the van ; upon which one of them said that she would have a dish also, and ran on to the van. I took the prisoner into custody, and found the dish under her shawl. The young man who drove the van then came and said he would not give her in cbarge, but I refused to let her go. She said it was a practical joke. Upon his cross-examination the witness said the wo men had been laughing and joking together, but he con sidered it to be his duty to take the prisoner, whom he saw take the dish, into custody. Mr Solomon submitted that his client had no feloni ous intention, as must have been obvious from the de scription of the whole proceedings. The husband of the prisoner made his appearance, and seemed to be much affected. He stated that it was im possible that his wife could have had any bad object in playing so unaccountable a part in the public streets, and that his circumstances, if there were no other reason for supposing that it was a joke, placed her above sus picion of dishonesty. The Lord Mayorhaving inquired whether the prisoner appeared to be under the influence of drink at the time, and having been informed that she seemed to be per fectly in her senses, told her that she had made a dan gerous experiment as a "practical joke," which might have thrown her into a v er y disgraceful embarrass ment. His lordship, in discharging her, hoped that the lesson she had received, enforced by her husband's ad monition, would prevent her from any further joking of the kind. The Lord Mayor requested that the preys would ac knowledge his receipt of a 51. Bank of England note ;rom " M.E.R." for the poor-bor. GUILDHALL.—Mr. Bernard Lintott, of Muscovy court, Tower-hill, was snmmoned before Sjr R. W. Car den by Major Henry Court, under the Small Tenement Act, to show cause why he should not give up possession of certain premises situated as above. Mr. Weston ap peared for Major Court and Mr. Buchanan for Mr. Lin tott. Mr. Joyce said, in April last Mr. Lintott applied to him to. let him an office at No. 4, Muscovy-court, and he allowed him to take possession of the premises on condition that Major Court was satisfied with his refer ence. The major, on being applied to, answered that if Lintott would pay half a quarter's rent in advance, and sign an agreement to quit at three months' notice, he would accept him as tenant. To this the defendant ob jected, and having possession of the office refused to pay in advance, or sign the agreement. He had, however, subsequently paid the half quarter's rent, but never agreed to go out at three months' notice. Notice bad been served on defendant to give up the premises, as he was only a tenant on sufferance. The defendant refused to quit, claiming the ordinary notice. Mr. Weston contended that that evidence was suffi cient to show that he had obtained possession of the office subject to certain conditions, which conditions he had never complied with, and was therefore no regular tenant of Major Court's, but only a tenant on sufferance. Mr. Buchanan submitted that there was no evi,lence to show that his client was anything but an ordinary tenant, and entitled to six months' notice. Mr. Lintott said he took the premises subject to his references being satisfactory to Major Court, and that after he was in possession Mr. Joyce tendered him an agreement for a lease, by which he was to go out of pos session at three months' notice. He refused to sign it, and gave it back to Mr. Joyce. Sir R. W. Carden said ; from the evidence produced on both sides, he did not think he should be justified in making - the order asked for. BOW - STREET.—Charles Buckwell, a boy of about 15 years of age, with a precociously fierce and deter mined expression of countenance, was brought up on remand, charged with inflicting a severe wound with a chisel on a man named Thomas Clarke. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Burridge, a pianoforte maker, working by contract for Messrs. Oetz mann and Plumb, in Chenies-strect, Tottenham-court road, that the injured man was in his ,ervice, and the prisoner in that of Mr. Plumb. On the 2d November, they were at work in the same room, anal a dispute arose b'tween them about the use of a stool, which Clarke required to sit on at his work, and which the prisoner refused to give up, though it was placed there for the use of the men and the prisoner had no right to it, and no occasion for it. At last Clarke, being unable to pro ceed with his work without the stool, took it by force, and boxed the boy's ears. The prisoner then seized the chisel and flung it at Clarke, striking him below the knee. Clarke fell to the ground, and his companions, coming to his assistance, found him quite unable to stand. They carried him to the Middlesex Hospital, where he still lies. A certificate from the surgeon was now handed in to the effect that it was impossible for Clarke to be brought to the court at present, and that in all probability he would never recover the use of the limb, which it was even feared must be amputated. Mr. Herring, who appeared for the prisoner, said that the boy had already been severely punished by the men tal suffering he had endured. Mr. Jardine had no commiseration for him ; it was one of the worst cases he bad ever heard. He must be again remanded until Clarke could attend. THE FRENCH OMNIBUS COMPANY AT LOND ON. So much interest has been of late excited in the Bri tish metropolis by the announcement that a powerful French company was about to buy up the London om nibuses, and to work them on the system so successfully pursued in Paris, that we ((lalignani) have thought it worth while to take some pains to ascertain how far the rumours in circulation were well founded. The result of our inquiries has been to arrive at the fact that such a company as that spoken of has been really formed, and that the purchase of the London omnibuses by it is now a fait accompli. What is now in contemplation is to introduce all at once the various ameliorations suc cessfully adopted in Paris. These consist-Ist, of a s ystem of correspondence, which will enable the pas sengers to go from any part of London to another on payment of one penny in addition to the ordinary fare, which it is believed will be 4d., being at the rale of about a penny a mile. 2dly of more roomy ana commodious v . ehicles, with a separation ' of places by means of arm-rails. 3dly, a severe discipline amongst the conductors and dri vers, b y which the utmost civility w ill be secured to th e pu b lic. 4thly, the establishment in e&eh omnibus of a check-dial' by which ' the numbe r o f passingers will b e c l ear l y indicated, as in Pa th e avoidan ce o f competition, and if its inevrliitea.blesthlY' n. comicant—racing thr oug h t h e streets ; and 6thl the ee creation of a pen s i on f und, by whieli a provision' Y will e secured to old and d eserv i ng servants, wen age has ren dered repose absolutely necessary. It is the intention of the nev company to retain, as much as possible, the per sons at Present employed by the omnibus proprietors of London, and it is beli eve d t h at the plan of a pens i on -f un d will tend i n a very marked degree to improve the de- ria•anour of the conductors, since the provision for old age will depend on their civility and hone-ty. The terms on which the French company has purchased the London omnibuses have been 5001. for each vehicle, with its horses an harness, the goodwill of the business, lease of stabling, :oil, in fact, every advantage possessed by the late proprietors. The law expenses of the arrangement, and some other incidental items of outlay, will add some thing to the sum just named. Upwards of 800 vehicles have been obtained by the new company, and some of the most influential men connected with the omnibus business in London—such as Messrs. Wilson, Willing, Macnamarti, and Johnson of Mark - lane —are to form part of the board of directors. The ne w s y stem it is ex pected will be in operation by the sth of January. As to the profitslikely to arise from the new plan as a com mercial undertaking, it must be observed that the Lon don vehicles have been purchased two-thirds cheap er than those of Paris, and that th e same capital will work the 800 omnibuses of London as the 350 of Paris. In addition, the London vehicles will not have to pay any sum to the municipality, as takes place in Paris, and ; which payment constitutes a tax of about 6 per cent. 1 BIRTHS. Or A SON.
