PUBLICATIONS THE LEVANT MAIL PRINCE ALBERT LAYING THE FIRST STONE OF THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE. MESSRS. FISHER, SON, and CO., have the honour to announce having received instruc tions from the Committee to prepare a handsome LITHO GRAPHIC PRINT of this interesting and splendid cere mony ; and that they have, for this purpose, engaged the well-known talents of Thomas Allom, Esq., who will be the only: Artist specially admitted on the occasion. The Print will contain Portraits of the Prince Albert and the personages most immediately connected with the ceremonial ; and as it will be the only official and authorised representation, persons desirous of possess ng it are requested to forward their nanies early, either to the Publishers or to their usual Printsellers. The impressions will be appropriated strictly in the order sub scribed t-0r. 7 - 7 Price, Half a Guinea. tered into by the .Government according to the decree of the 31st of December. This scheme of " capitalisation," so complex in its nature, continues to occupy whole columns of the diffe rentjournals, but the subject has been so completely mystified, that it is almost impracticable to reduce it to a simplicity suited to the study of any one anxious to be come au fait of this arithmetical logogriphe. A vote of thanks to the Ministry has been going the round of the public departments, for the purpose of ob taining signatures, which having been refused by the majority of -the different e►nployes, of course fell into dis repute, and it is said that the Board of Public Credit has caused a representation to be made to the Government against the issue of the inscripcoes (scrip authorised by the decree of the above date). • On the 6th instant the Queen and King, accompanied by the Court and Ministers, went in state to the Ca thedral of the Se to attend the religious rites annually offered up for the celebration of Twelfth-day; and in the evening a most sumptuous dinner was given by their Majesties at the Palace of the Necessidades to the Gene rals and Commanding Officers of the troops present at the Parade, given in honour of Prince de Joinville. Every effort appears to have been used to render the banquet as magnificent as possible, and the extreme urbanity of the Queen and her Consort diffused among the guests a gene ral feeling of esteem and satisfaction. Commerce is in a most depressed state; and to add to this the merchants are left in a state of uncertainty re specting the differential duties. The Custom-house Authorities say, that all goods left in bond after the 18th inst., although imported in Portuguese vessels, will not be allowed the 15 per cent., and strange to say that, not withstanding a petition has been made by the merchants ' to the Government, no notice appears to be taken of this important subject. The brig Triumfo de Lima, from Rio Janeiro, bound to Vienna do Minho, with a cargo of hides, rice, and sugar, put in here in distress on the sth inst., and in con sequence of her having on board a large quantity of un manifested tobacco and soap, the vessel has been seized, and the captain thrown into prison. The only vessels of war in the Tagus are the Indus and Revenge (British). TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 27.—The unremitting assi duity with which the Porte pushes its starlike prepara tions, marching, even in the depth of winter, battalion after battalion into Ronnaelia, and carrying its pugnacity to the extent of bending the sails Orsix ships of the line, all ready for a start, in the arsenal form, together with the perplexity of the CorpsDlAnnatique, is a burlesque which,abut for the inconvenience it is likely to entail, would rival any other - Christmas pantomime in absurdity. When, however, as a consequence of these motements, fleets are -ordered into the .Archifielago, and rush simul taneously to the arena of apprehended hostilities from Toulon and the British Channel, the question undoubtedly becomes more serious, and it seems really to he true 'that • the Porte vouchsafes no explanation of all this superflu ous bravado and these gratuitous demonstrations. I have just Ifeen put in possession of a most important piece of intelligence, to the effect that the Porte has re ceived despatches from Reschid Pacha, at Paris, inform ing it that he had positive assurances from M. Guizot on the suhlect Of° the Turco-Hellenic differences ; and that the French Government had already intimated to King Otho its determination of enforcing a speedy and equita ble adjustment of the just demands of the Porte. An Imperial finnan is about to appear, directing an in quiry into the salaries and remuneration now received by the functionaries and employes of the Sublime Porte, with a view to necessary retrenchment and the abolition of sinecure places. The Porte has communicated to Mr. Bankhead its in tention of immediately conferring on the - officers and seamen of the British fleet the medals and decorations which had been proMised to them ,for. their services in the Syrian campaign. I have got some - detailS abtiut '''Cirettssia at Mast. A great battle was in reality fought' between the moun taineers and the Russians in the middle of .Petber. commenced in the pass of llamish,. only about six miles from the castle of Sotcha. The Russians had. about 8,000 Georgian and Mingrelian cavalry, with 10,000 Or 12,000 of their infantry. The former led the van, and were attacked in the pass so vigorously that they were put completely to the route. They fell back upon the infantry, to whom their own panic was communicated, and the whole fled en masse to the coast, hotly pursued by the victors. The slaughter was dreadful, no less than 3,500 of the Russian party being left dead upon the field. Some escaped to the ships which, 49 in number, were lying within gunshot of the shore ; others were drowned in an attempt to swim off, and the rest of the survivors made good their retreat in dreadful confusion to Sotcha, where they collected and entrenched themselves. Few risoners were made, for the Circassians, being less than 5,300 in number, could not embarrass themselves with such an ineumbrance, and put to the sword nearly all such of the enemy as fell into their hands. All the horses, and an immense quantity of arms and baggage were the booty of the heroic mountaineers, whose loss did not, according to their own account. exceed 450 men hors de combat. After this defeat the Russians sued for peace, and got for answer that the Circas sians would make peace if the Russians would first evacuate the fortresses on the coast. But they would not treat without intervention. They proposed that after the evacuation, a delegate from the Russian-General, and another from the Circassians should be sent to Con stantinople, where a treaty should be made with the con currence and under the guarantee of the Porte and the Great European Powers. This proposal not meeting with the approbation of the Russians, they, after remain ing before Sotcha about 20 days, embarked in their ships, sailed away, leaving the accustomed garrison in that place. The Circassians intend to attack all the castles on the coast (Anafa excepted) during the winter. The harvest having been fine, they have abundance of food for man and beast, and expect to be very successful; since last winter, though suffering severely from the dearth of provisions, they managed to sack five castl es . The Russians, therefore, in Circassia, do not recline on beds of roses. The European Powers ought by all means to interfere to stop the useless and demoralising effusion of blood. clirtisTENING OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES.

The Order of the Day was the reading of the draft of the Address in.answer to the Speech from the Throne. The President read it as follows : " SIRE,—The events in which the East has been the theatre hare excited your just solicitude. The questions to which they had given rise have reached their term, and your Majesty has concluded with; the Emperor of Austria, the Queen of Great Britain, the King of Prus sia. the Emperor of Rus s i a , an d t h e S u l tan, a co n vent i on which consecrates the common intention of the Powers to maintain the peace of Europe, and consolidate the re pose of the Ottoman Empire. " Armaments of precaution had imposed, great bur thens upon the country ; your Government has already effected large reductions. As the faithful guardians of the payers of taxes, the Chamber of Deputies is rejoiced at this first diminution of the expenditure ; but it regrets to learn that the equilibrium between receipt and expen diture cannot be at once re-established. When her honour and interest require it, France does not hesitate to en gage her credit and confide in the future; but this future can only be ensured by prudent reserve. Order in the finances is as important to the power as to the wealth of States. - All our efforts will be employed to re-establish it without compromising the public service, and without weakening the defence of the country, and we doubt not that, in order to arrive at this result, a wise economy and the increase of national prosp er ity will suffice without the necessity of new taxation. " Amongst the services for which the Chamber must provide, there is none more worthy of its interest than the execution of the different modes of communication. The expenditure which such works necessitate are ad vances which return to the treasury, and augment the sources of public revenue. The bill, which is to be pre sented to us for the establishment of the principal lines of a grand system of railways, will be the object of our most attentive examination. " Whilst - your Majesty's Government is creating in the interior for our agriculture and manufactures rapid and easy means of exchange, it contemplates the extension of our commercial relations, and opening new markets to the productions of our soil and our arts ; the prudence with which it will conduct the negotiations that have been opened must be a guarantee that the national pro ductions will retain the protection that is due to them. " Such labours are honourable to peace, and cause its value to be felt. It is stable because it is fruitful, and its benefits guarantee its duration. You have reason to believe that it will not be disturbed ; it is with satis faction that the Chamber receives this assurance. Faith ful to the promises which she has made, France de _mands -with perseverance the accomplishment of the pro mises which- she has received. The Chamber reminds Europe of the rights of the Polish nation, so positively stipulated by treaty. • " The vigilance of your Government applies itself to preserve -from all external difficulty the security of our African possessions. The hopes and wishes of the Chamber accompany our brave soldiers in the course of those noble labours, the glory and dangers of which your sons love to partake of: We desire that the per severance of a skilful and wise administration may achieve what our arms have commenced, and that our dominion in that land, for the future and for ever French, may augment our power . as well as . do honour to the courage of our army. " We will examine with care the bills of finance, and the various bills which have for object the introduction of useful amelioration into the public administration. " Why, when the voice of the country calls us to these peaceable labours, must the attempts of faction re vive in us grave and sad reflections? Condemned by pub lic indignation, and punished by the laws, factibns have not submitted ; we have witnessed their attempts, and their plots are revealed. Their insensate projects me nace not only our institutions, but attack society itself. We may disdain their impotency, but we must watch over their audacity. Your Government, Sire, will, we are sure, do its duty. It will in all things, and con stantly, maintain the authority of the laws, and cause them to be respected, as it will itself respect them. You may rely upon our loyal co-operation. May the zeal of good citizens assist the public authorities of the State, and the whole country, enlightened as to its true in terests, lend its support. Thus strong in union, we shall preserve intact the trust. which the Charter has con fided-to us. Can you state what the amount of the liabilities of the firm was on the 30th of April, Is3o 2—l. cannot. Is there no account-book existing, made up to the 30th of April, 1830, which contains a distinct item, stating the amount of the liabilities of the firm then ? Does not the private profit and loss book, folio 10, show it ? (Book produced.) Is not 208,0021. entered there, as the liabilities of the firm at that date ?—lt is not. What is it meant to represent ?—Totals taken from the general balance-book, with draughts in circulation, acceptances unpaid, and private accounts. Are not all the items which form that total liabilities? —Yes, except two, one of 36,7001., and the other 20,000/. ; these are note accounts ; and two others marked " sundry persons.' What are note accounts ?—The amount of notes made. Do you class creditors on the estate, the two note accounts you mentioned, and the two called " sundry persons," under the head of liabilities ?—They are not. Do the entries " note accounts" represent notes made for circulation, including those actually in circulation, as well as those in the hands of the firm ?—Yes. Then can you state the amount of notes in circula tion on the 30th April, 1830, merely by looking on the right hand side of that account ?—I cannot. Can you by refe►ring to any other entries P—l think not. Will not folio 10, of book 3, show the amount of liabilities of the firm on the 30th April, 1830, and it not, why not ?—I do not think it will, because many of the liabilities are in off-set. Am I to understand that in making up the accounts on that day the liabilities were not ascertained ?—They were not. Were there any means taken to determine whether the firm were then solvent or insolvent ?—I am not aware. The examination had not proceeded further than this, being confined to the state of the firm on making up the accounts in the April subsequent to the death of the senior Mr. Ridge, when Mr. Chambers stated it was his intention to trace the state of the accounts from that period up to the present time. The COMMISSIONER adjourned the examination until the 16th of February. Two whole days were thus consumed merely to ascer tAin if the bank was solvent when the rider Mr. Ridge died ; but not a question was asked as to whether the bank was solvent 83 months before, when the present Mr. NV. Ridge joined it, which was only two days after the death of Mr. Richard Murray. The fact to be ascertained, if such be useful, is what presumed balance of property was handed over to the executors of Mr. R. Murray, a'sd what to the representatives of the elder Mr. Ridge. None other could be useful, for that would be a better presumptiou of the then real state of the case. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY. There was a better attendance yesterday than we have .seen at the corner for some time, and business, if not brisk, certainly exhibited symptoms of improve ment. The only bets laid against the favourites were 200 to 50 agst the first two, and 500 to 50 twice agst Chatham, with offers to lay 8 to 1 agst each in one bet. Robert de Gorham found favour for a pony, and 2,000 to 60 was taken so eagerly about Wiseacre, that his advance to a more prominent station may be looked upon as certain. Joanna colt and the Artful Dodger were also in demand, the first at 50 and afterwards 45 to 1, and the other at 50 to 1 ; the lion of the day, however, was Auckland, whose supporters were so numerous, and at the same time so fond, that the layers shut up, and although 33 and 35 to 1 were laid to a small amount, we very much question if 30 to 1 could have been obtained when the room closed. The finishing prices were as follow : THE DERBY. 4 to 1 on the field agst two—taken 100 to 10 agst Sir G. Yeathcote's lot 10 to 1 agst Col. Peel's Chatham; 25 to 1 agst Lord Vernlam's Robert de Gorham—t. 33 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Auckland—taken 2,000 to 60 agStlfr. Wreford's Wiseacre— taken. 4,000 to 110 agst Mr. Ramshay's Moss Trooper —t. 40 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Meteor 45 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Joanna colt—taken 50 to 1 agst Mr. W. Scott's The Artful Dodger—t -500 to 10 agst Mr. Treen's Defier—taken 60 to 1 agst Mr. Cooke's Palinurus 1,000 to 15 agst Duke of Grafton's Canadian—taken HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

" In the midst of public security, the powerful activity of France will develop itself without shackle, and the equal and pacific liberty which the nation has obtained, and of which it is your Majesty's glory to ensure the poSsession, will realise all its blessings. " To attain this object of our common efforts, you have, Sire, devoted your whole life. 'You have not in vain reckoned on the gratitude of the country. The Cham ber of Deputies offer you a solemn testimonial of it." Tile President then announced that the Address would be printed and distributed among the Deputies, and stated that those whO wished to set down their names to speak on the diseussion could do so to-morrow morning. M. Guizot said, that he now placed upon the Bureau of the Chamber a collection of diplomatic documents relative to the Convention of - July 13 - . - They would be placed in the archives of the Chamber to be consulted by the Members. M. Billault asked if these documents included every thing relative to the negotiations ? Tie also applied for the documents relative to the treaty fo r th e su p press i on of the slaVe-trade, which M. Guizot had refused to com municate to the Committee. M. Guizot said that as the treaty alluded to was not ratified, it was impossible for him to lay it before the Chamber. lie did not say this to avoid a discussion— for, when the time should come, he would not shrink from it—but from a sense of official ditty.: .4s to the negotiations relative to the question of the East, he had brought to the Chamber all the documents - that could be communicated. - For the present there were some which he could not Jay before the Chamber. M. Billault desired that the documents, which were to be placed in the archives of the Chamber, should be printed and distributed. - M. Guizot said this was a proposition to which he could not consent. Several Deputies at the left of the Chamber exclaimed, "This is done in England." M. Guizot said—l am told of the example of England. We know what is printed in England, but we do not know what is not printed. The English Ministry gives publicity to documents, the publication of which appears to be withoutdanger, but I know of many documents in England, which have not been printed. The Chamber will see that there is a great difference between placing the documents in the archives of the Chamber and having them printed for the public. I willingly consent to com municate them to the Chamber, but, as the publication of them would be improper, I formally oppose it. M. l'Herbette—l ask the Minister formally whether he will consent to the publication or not. Guizot—l have just said that I would not. The President consulted the Chamber as to fixing the day for discussing the Address. Monday was decided upon. The Chamber adjourned at a quarter to five. DEATH OF VISCOUNTESS DEEHUURST.— Her Ladyship expired at Pau, on Friday week, the 7th instant. The deceased Viscountess had only a few weeks back left this country for the Continent, for the benefit of her health. Her Ladyship, who was the daughter of the late Sir Charles Cockerell, Bart., by his second mar riage with the Hon. Harriet Rushout, sister of Lord Northwich, married, 15th of March, 1836, the late Viscount Deerhurst, eldest son of the Earl of Coventry, who died sth of November, 1838, leaving issue a son and daughter, the latter being born 13th December, 1836, and George William Viscount Deerhurst, born 9th o May, 1838, survive their estimable mother. By her Ladyship's demise the families of the Earl and Count '<f), s of Coventry, , Lord and Lady Holland, Lord Nothwiche Dowager Lady Cockerell, Sir Charles and Lady Co rell, &c., are placed in mourning. In the Times of Saturday last there appeared a paragraph calling on the public for benevolence towards the widow and children of the late Mr. Howard—the money to be paid to a certain individual. We are au thorised. to state that the application is totally without the.sanCtion of the widow or her father, who feel it their duty to warn the public, FABRICATION.—The' northern parts of the Metropolis were astonished, and, to some extent, swin dled, on Saturday evening, by six or eight fellows bawl ing out most lustily the " Death of Louis Philippe"— " Louis Philippe shot." They sold a small fly-leaf, con taining about 30 lines, for a penny, setting forth that an express had just arrived that Louis Philippe had been shot, and probably killed ; but it wound up the tale by stating that the information was not quite decisive, and further news was anxiously expected. The fellows, we believe, made a larger sum of the fabrication than is generally made by any true intelligence. The election of Coroner for the county of West moreland took place on the 6th instant, when George Thortipson, Esq., solicitor, Appleby, - was appointed to that office,--Carlisle Journal. . _ 2/ C•c_...4 %,.4e//' - 2 i t l, l %(__,.e,t, 4 -- - / G ( --e- - e---t-2- •• / ~1 - 47-" l ' ee )-- _, O " - Z - e- , - - i—e 9 C; .

Wi thout dealing in mere com pliment, we must rea ll y congratulate our Con aCohrista temporary on the complete success with which he had ately realised his beau ideal of blackguardism. One would have thought the approaching baptism of the Prince of Wales was not an occasion which the soi-disant " leading journal" of a Christian and civilised country would exactly choose for extra out pourings of utterly unprovoked scurrility on Christian brethren, and civilised neighbours. Dis alder visum. The river-gods of the neighbouring Fleet ditch cer tainly spare some portion of the" deeper sable" where with they delight to " blot the silver flood" of Thames —as contributions to the late baptismal effusions from Prin•ing House-square. The Times has been run ning a muck at everybody, in Malay or Mobock style —from the humble sect, which could nevertheless boast such a member as Robert Hall, to the proud Sate whose European rank was fixed -by Frederick the Great of Prussia. The Times has made itself rather remarkable lately for its Puseyite tendencies, and its recommendations of " aggressive policy'' to the Gov ern ment on the side of the Church militant. We sup pose those recent articles are a sample of the sort of aggressions which the Times thinks decent in High Church politicians against all other Christians. His M. , jesty of Prussia has fallen out of the Tinics' good graces already, by his impertinence in presuming to subscribe for an Anglican Bishop in parlibus. Lu theran aid was utterly inconsistent with Puseyite pre latical purity. We should not wonder if Lutheran presence were a desecration of Church rites ! What next ? It is satisfactory to find the constant assailants of the late Government, for their alleged want of sin cerity in the cause of Protestantism " all over the world," throwing off the mask in this extravagant manner, on the eve of the arrival of the great re presentative of Continental Protestantism, to do hocour to a solemn and Royal ceremony of the An glican Protestant Church ! It is tolerably evident what sort of Protestantism was that of the petitions who who were hallooed on against Liberal administra:ion by the cry of " Down with O'Connell!" They were Pro-- testants only after the pattern of the ex-Grand Master of Orangeism—Protestants only while Protestantism ljbund them some party to injure or insult. The Pro testantism of the King of Hanover was the sole form of it congenial to these worthies. The Protestantism of the King of Prussia is Anathema Maranatha—a hissing and a curse. CHICHESTER. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) RIDGE'S BANKRUPTCY. A second meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Ridge, bankers, was held yesterday at Chichester, when several debts were proved, principally of small amount, and the Commissioner, Mr. R. W. MISSING, adjourned the meeting till this morning at 10 o'clock, when the bank rupts presented themselves, and Mr. C. Ridge was subjected to an examination by Mr. Montagu Cham bers, a barrister retained by the assignees, and Mr. W. Ridge and Mr. Newland were requested to retire. The Commissioners present were, Mr. R. Missing, Mr. W. Douglas, and Mr. E. Paddon ; the three assignees were also present. Mr. Newland, solicitor, attended on behalf of the bankrupts. The amount of debts proved is as follows : Total 122,646 15 11 Mr. Charles Ridge was called, and examined by Mr. CHAMBERS. Atter stating that he joined the firm in 1813, and that on the death of his lather, in 1829, be believed the bank was solvent, he proceeded to say he knew that some of the debtors to the firm had become insolvent and bankrupt, but did not treat them as bad debts. All the debts due to the firm from insolvents and bankrupts, and other persons, and the debts hope less of collection, were introduced into the accounts made up in April, 1830, so as to form part of the assets of the firm. Mr. CHAMBERS proceeded to interrogate him on his statement of the solvency of the firm at that period. Will you refer to the account made up at that date, and state from it the amount of the assets of the firm then ?—The debtors' side exhibits a total of 208,0021. 124.; but there are two items which should be set off from that-2,8111. for notes that Glyn and Co. had paid for us, notes of the firm being paid by them, and 23,107/. 7s. 4d. What item is that ?—lt is what is in bankers' lan guage called " the rest." Deducting the notes paid by Glyn and Co., and what you call " the rest," will the residue give the amount due at that time from persons indebted to the firm ? It would represent the debts actually due to the firm, upon securities or otherwise. COURlER.—Supposing the claim of the United States in behalf of the legitimacy of such property to be allowed, and that under the peculiar circum st lines it is taken out of the special category of British constitutional or common law, which decrees instant liberty, and refuses the recognition of bondage, we may next have to deal with the question in another shape. The Virginian planter may voluntarily bring his household slaves into our land, and . claim in like manner to have them identified in the light of property sacred and intangible in this very capital of the emprre ; so that should the unfortunate beings assert their free dom, and quit their master, the British Government, as on the present occasion, might be held responsible for their evasion and in like manner menacingly appealed to for indemnification of the loss. In the case of vessel, with other destination, laden with goods pro hibited by law in the country on whose shores driven by stress of weather, we know that the fact of such distress and compulsory deviation from her course would, as it ought, protect both vessel and cargo frotn the fiscal penalties to which otherwise liable, and to such extent the analogy of circumstances would seem to plead in favour of the claims set up by the United Stater. But in such a case there is, and there can be, no international misunderstanding as to what should constitute property. A cargo of tobacco or of cotton cloths counts for property anywhere and everywhere by common consent. But no such common consent can be pleaded in regard of human beings. So far as the British isles are concerned, the notion of property as attaching to them has ever been utterly repudiated, just the same when Great Britain had slave-holding and slave-dealing colonies as now, when slavery is not a word to be breathed, or a slave to be found within her dominions. Had the Creole, with her 150 slaves, been driven on the coasts of the British isles, it is quite a ele dm ar it tetdhatof thaemogmueesnttio,so 'he i ritat f i a o r n , o7 9 d u e ld bat n e o . T not have e slaves on kissing the soil would have started up free men, as the Titan of old was refreshed by the touch of mother earth, and no human power would have been suffered to re-impose their fetters and carry them eff to bondage. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THR MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.' TIMES.—It is now stated that the balance or stock which it was supposed the Government broker would bring into the market has been taken by the Dank, but of course nothing is known of the price at which the bargain was made. The jobbers are much displeased at the negotiation; as it is stated to have been concluded without the intervention of any member of that body, who invariably act as the " mid dle men" between the brokers. A Manchester circular, reviewing the state of trade in that district for the past year, observes that it will be long remembered for its losses and embar rassments both to the spinner and manufacturer: The year's business, it appears, commenced with heavy stocks, which went on accumulating in con sequence of the small demand for goods, which in duced several of the owners of factories to put their works on short time in March, and this course wag adopted until the month of May, when " short time" became nearly general, it being supposed that things had reached their lowest point. In June there was more business, and it was hoped matters bad taken a better turn. But in July depression returned, failures increased, and business continued in the same unsatisfactory and languishing state through out the remainder of the year. In September an exten sive business was done for the Turkish and Mediterra nean markets, chiefly in coarse long cloths and domestics, which relieved the markets of these descriptions ; and in Oetober a demand was experienced for twist for Russia and the Continent, but these had little or no effect in reviving business generally. The expecta tion of improvement entertained at the commencement of the year was not without considerable influence on the twist market, for prices advanced materially by the middle of February, although they were not long maintained, but were on the contrary forced to a low point by the close of the year. Notwith standing this, the exports as compared with the previous year showed an increase of 8,000,0001 b., being esti mated at 1 15,000,0001 b. against '07,000,0001b. The principal increase was in the shipments to Germany, and to China, India, Sweden and Norway, Italy, and Turkey and Egyr. From the low prices current it is stated the chief attention of the owners of mills and factories had been directed to the working of them as cheaply as possible, and caused the employment of fewer hands than formerly. However, much distress had been avoided among the operatives, for ahßiough they were working at wages poor enough, they would have been planed in a much worse position had the owners stopped altogether, which it is said would have been the moat prudent course for them to have ado eras p thuste d to heavily bearingtt the torrent to isn their ofdepr p es r s o i p o e n rty wh a i n el d i v profits. Among the effects produced by the work s t e work ing of short time, and the total stoppage of soma of the factories, was the falling off of 2,670 bales in the weekly deliveries of cotton during the year, which reduced the consumption to nearly the same as i t was in l 39. There had been a considerable falling off in the home trade, which could only be ascribed to the diminution in the means which the operatives have had at their disposal for clothing. On the other hand, the exports had increased to almost every quarter, ex cept the British West Indies and the western coast of South America, and altogether the increase in exports had been great. Upon the general state' of trade it is remarked that Manchester must not overlook the fact, that the causes which have paralysed her trade, have also worked as strongly in the major pat t of the other departments of the trade of the country, and must not, therefore, imagine that her trade has been more hea vily pressed on than others, and must bear in mind that the symptoms of improvement which now appear evident from the plentiful influx of bullion, the easy condition of the Babk, and the better results likely to arise from our more amicable position with our foreign relations, will as fully benefit her particular department as any other in the trade of the United Kingdom. THE ACCIDENT ON THE LEEDS AND MAN CHESTER RAILWAY.—The Leeds Intelligencer of Satur day gives the following account of the accident which occurred on the above railway on Monday, respecting the reality of which some doubts had been expressed : Early on Monday morning, as one of the luggage trains of the Manchester and Leeds Company was passing be tween the Sowerby-bridge and Elland stations, a spark fell upon and set fire to a portion of the goods,•when the engine -driver, in order to extinguish the same, exhausted the whole of the water which he had to supply the boiler, and by that means put,,,out the fire ; but when he attempted to proceed the steam was quite course the train could proceed no further. At that , mo ment another.luggage train came up at a rapidpenentid when a collision took - place, and one of the engi nes tit• of the gone, and of tender was much damaged, as was also a tput:! , goods. We are glad to say no lives were los t , although one man had his thigh severely fractured. Th is supposed.to be near 1,000/. ' The police o ffi cers of Paris, two nights aao, thought themselves fortunate in arresting on e of the most desperate housebreakers in the ca a p rd it - a h l o , I n ts a e med f M th ermer, and they lodged him in the gu o e Rue Mauconseil. Next morning, when they went to conduct him to the Prefecture, they found tie lock-up room vacant, Mercier having defeated all their vigilance, and by some unknown means effected his escape.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.s, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in prof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to-which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is -one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of 111esrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-fa►ling consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We stmagly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay Inest of them of a very questional,le tendency, made us cx• tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of thi s wor k b y an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita• tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common eauees, surth as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory.

FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, AND DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH AND LIVER. DR. A. A. HA. RVEY'S A NTIBILIOUS and FAMILY A PER lEN PILLS have long been prescribed and fount eminently useful by one of the most experienced members of the t ollege of Surgeons, who, from his extensive practice since he has resided in Bath, and in the East Indies while Surgeon in the .Honourable East India Company's Ser vice, has had innumerable instances brought under his notice of the relief afforded by these Pills. They have been for many years known only to a limited ex t en t, b ut t h e i ncreasing de mand for them 'n other places has induced 'the Proprietor to offer them more generally to the public. From the want of a medicine such as this, irregularities have often been neglected and suffered to increase till disease in its more fearful forms has laid hold of the vitals, and relief now sought has failed and shorn only The Pills are m a d e from the simplest and purest taken with safety b y the mist delicate female ; adthrreuegmfcllladyniod maye n f th d ir y be . operation, and, taken occasionally, will preserve the organs 01 the stomach in pertect health.

RIGHT RESTORED!--NERVOUS HEAD-ACHE AND DEAFNESS CURED! By the most simple, delightful, and fragrant Compound! Its mode of application is fraught with pleasure ; many thou sand cures have been accomplished by its use, at a trifling ex pense, yet certain in its operation. If testimonies be necessary toi n duce the sufferer to make trial, Kings, Lords, and Com mons have used it. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned its use. Their late Majesties, the Duchess of Kent, the most eminent Oculists, Medical Practitioners—with that gigantic balance, the Press—have eulogised Grimstone's celebrated Herbaceous Compound. known as " Grimstone's Eye Snuff," for its efficacy in removing all diseases incident to the Eyes and Head. G. J. Guthrie, Esq., F.R.S. See J. B. Laehfield, Esq.'s Letter, Whitehall. Dr. Thomas. Dr. Andrews calls it a national blessing—see his Reports touching its utility.

Nottingham, 28th Aug., 1841. This extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. James Wilcockson, Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham. To Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London. Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of my case, and the miraculous cure performed en myself, by using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my 93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country 26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age, I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight, therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely beli , .ve I should have remained in darkness and pain but for the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I purchased a 23. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded from the use of your Eye Snuff.

As the subject of " De Montfort" is the life and adven tures of an English Nobleman of the old school, and as not only the manners but the actual personages of eighty years ago are sketched with marvellous vigour and rea lity, it has been surmised that the work must have been printed from a manuscript of that date ; the probability, however, is, that it is a production of one of the most eloquent, versatile, and able of living novelists. NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHORESS OF " TEMPTATION."—We are requested to state that the new novel, entitled " The School for Wives," by the Authoress of " Temptation," is published this day by Mr. CAburn, of Great Mariborough-street, ,and may now be had at all the Libraries. Mr. Colburn. has also just pub lished " Anne Boleyn," an historical romance, by Mrs. A. T. Thomson, Authoress of " The Life of Henry VIII.," " Constance," &c., in 3 vols.—" The Man of Fortune," a novel, by Mrs. Gore, Authoress of " Mothers and Daughters," " The Peeress," &c., in 3 vols.—and " Fathers and Sons," a novel, by Theodore Hook, Esq., 3 vols., with a Portrait and Memoir of the Author. THE Ton ET.—A fine Head of Hair.—" The inestimable gift of the Graces," from - its influence in giving due effect and expression to :he features, has been universally sought after. No article for this pur pose has ever been favoured with such distinguished patronage as " Rowland's Macassar Oil," the reputa tion of which, for its beautifying and restorative quali ties, has been promulgated in all ranks of fashion and elegance, which the high encomiums and testimonials of its value amply corroborate ; in dressing the hair, and arranging it into any desired form of curl or other decorative formation, the addition of this Oil is essential, it preserves the coiffure in the heated atmosphere of the ball-room, and prevents the relaxing effects of damp, or violent exercise. DEAF NESS.—Sound Magnifiers, and Invisible Operative Voice Conductors, to enable persons at an advanced age, and of old standing extreme deafness, to join in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at a publie assembly; they are the size of a very small gold seven shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they are not in the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place ; they are composed of a metal to collect sound, peculiar to the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons themselves ; and although they are so extremely smal: yet they enable those afflicted with extreme deafness, and those who are only slightly dull of hearing to hear in every feoritey.imperfect vision, respect equal to those of most acute hearing.

It is calculated that one year will more advance the Pupil in the above important Profession than five of the necessarily irregular practice of an office. For the convenience of those gentlemen residing in the country, the Advertiser will receive a very limited number of Pupils into his house. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, DEc. 26.—There is no change to report in Egyptian politics. Government has not resumed sales of its produce, and of course there is something like a stagnation in business in general. Chartered ships be come a burden to the charterers, but that is not new in Egyptian commerce. The result of the Pacha's visit to Upper Egypt is not known here. The report is that he made extensive pur chases of grain, pulse, and seeds, and that a large portion of the grain was to supply the holy cities in Arabia. From Syria the accouths arc of a more tranquil cha racter. The Druses appear to have had the best of it. Some hands of these tribes were said to be still levying " mail" in the Lebanon. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Gorgon sailed this morn ing from Alexandria on a cruise along the coast of Syria. Public health has improved of late ; there is a dimi nution of fever, and no plague cases reported since the beginning of this month. Our latest dates arc, London, 6th inst. ; Malta and Constantinople, 17th inst. ; Beyrout, Bth inst. MALTA. (From the Malta Chronicle.) MALTA, JAN. s.—The PrometheuS' steam-packet ar rived here early on Sunday morning, the 2d inst.., from Gibraltar. The Indus, after a long passage of thirty three days from Malta; owing to an extraordinary preva lence of strong gales from the westward, reached Lisbon on the 18th inst., the Rev enge h aving arr i ve d t h ere t h e day preceding. Both were still lying in the Tagus on the 25th, without knowing whether any other imme diate ulterior destination was contemplated, for so secret were the orders of Rear-Admiral Mason, that no one but the Captains were aware whither they were bound \until paSsing Gibraltar, with which garrison the Indus ,did not even communicate. On the evening of the Bth ult. a collision took place at sea between the Indus and the ship Grace of Liverpool, burden about 350 tons, Hugh Jones, master, then out 26 days from Liverpool (the same time as the Indus f rom M a lt a ), in ballast bound to Trieste for a grain cargo. The merchant ship had been previously observed from the liner running to the eastward with the wind from the N.W., the latter being close hauled on the starboard tack to keep her wind), but on the two vessels nearing, and seeing there was a chance of clearing each, other the ship of war's helm wa; put up, when the merchant, r vessel unfortu nately did the same, whereupon the two vessels came in contact bow and bow, but as the weather was.fine and moderate, the only damage which ensued to the Indus consisted in her having had two of 'her boats stove in. The Grace had her bowsprit broke short off,_ one boat stove, and sundry other damages. Assistance was im mediately rendered by the Indus, from whose crew a party was sent to secure her foremast, which it was thought might have got sprung, a new jibboom was supplied for a bowsprit, cordage for rigging, &c., and, as the wind freshened at midnight, blowing fair for the Grace, they parted company (after giving Sir James Sterling the London newspapers . touching tie birth of. the Prince of Wales), and it was generally supposed she would make the best of her way to Malta. to refit, but as she has not appeared here we presume she has passed on." • (From the Malta Times.) The corvette Aigle arrived here frOm England on the 31st ult.; she is a new vessel on this station. The Strom boli also arrived the same day from &Ida; she was sta tioned at the Piraeus, and the Medea takes her place. The. Wasp will leave, soon for Corfu. The Weazle will leave immediately for Jaffa, and also the Savage, which left Malta for Corfu on the 18th ult. The Hecate is under sailing orders—destination eastward. The Cyclops ar rive(' at Athens, .from Trieste, on the 24th tilt', where she took up Sir Stratford Canning. The Devastation leaves to-morrow for Be;yitotat and Jaffa.

PORTUGAL FALMOUTH, JAN. 14, Ni,NE r.)1.--W e h ave had two packet arrivals this day ; viz., the Ranger, Li eutenant 'Turner, Commander, from the Brazils ; and the Nep tune steamer, with mails from the Peninsula, & c . The former sailed from Pernambuco on the 2d, Bahia. on the 9th, and Rio de Janeiro on the 30th of November last. By this arrival we can gather no political intelli gence of the least moment. The exchange at Rio had fallen to 301 and 304 upon the receipt of the intelligence that the Brazilian Minister in this country had drawn on the home Treasury to pay the dividends ; it was antici pated, however, that the abundance of the coffee crop, and the unusual sc arc ity of money, Would c ause it s rising again ere long. Government Stock ruled' at 73. iThe only passenger by the Ranger is Sir George Jack son, late dead Commissioner of the mixed B raz ili an and English Commission for, adjudicating on slave prizes. The - Liimet packet arrived out at Rio on the 30th of November, the day the Banger sailed ; and the latter has brought home, on freight, treasure to the computed : v u lue of 25,0001. sterling.
