' The works have been recently fitted up at great cost, with 'ltachinery of the most perfect description, by the late pro 'Meters, of whom this company has purchased them, and their cempleteness will allow the capital account to be at once Cl osed. The valuable patents connected with the naanufac tuee., as well as th e good-will, have also been secured. owli 'r e quality of the candles hitherto made at Pimlico and 4-e has obtained for th em a reputation unsurpassed in the trade. There are but few private firms that make this descrip tion of candles , and the only company is Price's Patent Candle CoMpany, but are unable to supply the great and in 'ereasing demand for home consumption and the colonies. The e /Port of candles id the year 1855 was nearly 5,000,0001 b. , C owsequence of this inadequate supply, the British Can ile pany will at once be enabled to command a very large Can ard prosperous business; the r nannfactories of this Company are Capable of producing 500,000 dozen lb. of candles per itnnurn.

Amongst the passengers are Madame Bodisco, the widow of the late Russian Ambassador to the United States, and family, This lady was a Miss Williams, of Washington, DC, and one of the most beautiful and accom plished belles of that city. She attracted the at tention of M. Bodisco, who, although many years n he senior, carried her off from a host of other suitors. Madame Bodisco, in accordance with a rule of the Russian Government, visits St. Peters burg once in every two years, and, on this occasion, takes her children with her. The Persia reports the arrival at Boston of the royal mail steamer Arabia, from this port, and at New York of the United States mail steam-ship .Hermann, from Bremen and Southampton, and the screw-steamer Belgique, from Antwerp and South am Official returns from all the counties in Pennsyl vania have. been received. They give a democratic majority of 2,774. The following comparative statement of the number of votes cast in that State at the last and previous election is suggestive : Total vote in 1856 422,998 Total vote in 1855 325,276 Increase in one year 97,722 In the Legislature the Democrats have a ma jority of three on joint ballot. A letter from Governor Geary, of Kansas, dated 10th October, annou nces th e restoration of peace in that territory. He says that for two weeks no outrages have been reported, and that many of the most notorious characters have left the country. He adds that he will shortly proceed with a small force in pursuit of a gang of thieves in the Southern portion of the territory. Another despatch received in Washington from Ggvernor Geary gives the particulars of the cap ture of a party of 240 Free States men, 9ommanded by General Pomroy, Colonels Eldridge and Perry, and others. More forged paper had been brought to light on the examination of Huntington. The amountnow reaches $54.6,119 49 cents. , The British arctic discovery ship Resolute is now ready for sea, and will leave as soon as orders are received from Washington for her sailing. The New Orleans Delta, of the 18th ult., states that the proposition of Commodore Vanderbilt to the Opelousas Railway Company has been accepted by the directors, and an efficient and regular line of first-class steamers will soon commence running from Berwick's Bay to Galveston and Matagorda, in connection with - the railroad, thus shortening the distance 24 hours, or about one-half, between New Orleans and Texas. A. letter from St. Croix, dated the 19th ult., says that there is great excitement prevailing about St. Domingo and Mexico. It was the opinion that Spain would annex Hayti, and that Mexico Would become a vice-royalty. The Nicaranan news received privately by the Niagara is partially confirmed in the advices to hand. The following despatch from Harris, Mor gan, and Co., of New Orleans, to - Charles Morgan and Sons, of New - York, seems to be more probable iliac that first received : .T_Ta NA_ 0C!, 22 1 R4e,—The stearnerTennes• see has arrival. Walker had had two severe Ua4,1C13 ',tuna tee enemy, in both of which he was succec,ful, the enemy being routed both at Granada and Managua, with loss, killod and wounded, 700." The New York journals publish two official docu ments connected with the affairs of Nicaragua—the report of FatherVijil on the results of his diplomatic mission to the United States, and the protest of the Government of Peru against the recognition of Walker by the Government. The former reports to his Government that the enthusiasm existing in the United States for the cause of Walker is un bounded, and hints that it is tu no small degree owing to the reported mineral wealth of Nicaragua. The protest of Peru shows that that Government is very mush alarmed at the new order of things in Nicaragua, and fears that it is only the precursor of an invasion of its own territory. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, OCT. 29. The money market is gradually tightening, and an of discount, equal to 1 per cent., is fully established. Large amounts are required to meet the heavy payments due early next month, and banks being unable to satisfy their customers, the supply of paper in the street is in crewing. Very good paper,of long dates, sold to-day at 12 per cent. per annum, and on call 8 per cent. is freely paid. COTTON.—The business during the week has been small, not exceeding 1,000 bales per day. Prices have declined gc., Midland Uplands being quoted 121 e. to 12go. BREADSTUFF& —The flour . market was firm, with a fair.dPmand for export, without change of moment in quotations. Wheat was in fair request for export ; common and medium grades rather favoured buyers, while choice.white lots were without change. ARRIVAL OF THE ERICSSON. LIVERPOOL, S.9.TURAY. The United States mail steam-ship Ericsson, Capt. Lowber, arrived in the Mersey, at six p.m. She left New York on the 25th ult., and has brought eight passengers and 201,325 d o ll ars i n specie. Her news is anticipated by the Persia. A FREE-STATES MAN TIED UP AND WHIPPED.—A most heartrending outrage was perpetrated up )n an American citizen by a captain in the United States' army. A few days since, while a company of dragooni were on their way up to the Nebraska line, they met two Free-state men on foot. These men were stopped by order of Captain Anderson, and questioned as to the movements and intentions of the expected party of emi grants. One of the men became frightened, and told all he knew about them. The other refused to reply to any of the questions put to him. Captain Anderson became very much incensed in consequence of this man's refusal to answer impertinent quest;ons, and ordered him to be tel up to a wheel and 50 lashes given him upon his back. This charge against Captain Anderson can be substan tiated by the best of testimony, and an inquiry into his conduct should at once be made by the proper autho rities, and, if f ound guilty, the villain should t o s ev erely punished fo r th e i nfamous deed.

N MONDAY EVENING, _NOVEMBER, = lO, 1850. inteiligcnoe We regret to state that Lieut.-General Sir J. Rolf, R.C.8., Colonel of the Queen's Royals., died• at East Southeruhay, near Exeter, on Saturlay, of disease of the heart. A circular, permitting the employment of soldiers as military clerks, was issued from the Horse Guards on Saturday, by order of Lord Panmure, and addressed to the Genera! and other officers commanding in the united kingdom. In consequence of the decrease which has taken place in the strength of the Indian rtegiments stationed in the Bengal Presidency, an order has been received from the authorities at the War Department by Colonel H. Jervis, Coniniandact of the Provisional Battalion, at Chatham, directing that the whole of the non commissioned cfficers and men under 19 years'serviee, belonging to the depots of regiments on the Indian istablf;ihment, at Chatham Barracks, are to be medically inspected immediately at the Garrisoc Hospital, for the purpose of enabling the authorities at the Horse Guards to ascertain the number of troops fit for immediate embarkation, to join the ser vice companies of their regiments in India. The follow ing- depots of . regiments on the Indian establishment' were aecordinglv inspected at Chatham on Saturday : viz., Btti (the King's), 24th, 27th (Enniskillens), 32d, 35th, (R , yal Sussex), 52d Light Infantry, 53d, 60th Royal Rifles, 61st, 71)th, 75th, 81st, and 87th Royal Irish Fusileers, which, together, will furnish nearly 1,000 non-commissioned officers and men. for whom ton vage will be taken up by the Hon. East India Company for their conveyance to the bead-quarters of their respec tive re,gincents in India. The troops belonging to the above depots have been instructed in the use of the En field rifle. The reduction of the army is still proceeding at Chat ham garrison, where there are about 1,000 men belong ing to nearly every regiment in the service, still waiting to receive their discharge. On Saturday a large draught of troops, to the number of 115 non-commissioned officers and men selected from the 4th Royal Irish Dra goon Guards, sth Dragoon Guards, 41st (the Welsh) Regiment, 46th, 55th, 70th, 71st Highland Light In fantry, and 831 Regiments, were inspected at Fort Pitt Hospital by Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., Deputy-Inspecto r General of Hospit a l s , a ll of whom were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to be discharged from the ser vice. In addition to this number 30 men belonging to the corps of Royal Engineers received their discharge by a Chelsea board on Friday, and a large detachment of 184 non-cernmistioned officers and men of the 33d (Duke of Wellington's regiment, have been ordered to Chatham to await their discharge. The Secretary of State for War having decided that the married,non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the regiments stationed at Chatham garrisen, shall be pro vided with separate rooms apart from the single soldiers, the cum of 6:090/. to be expended there in the erection of suitable buildings for the married troops, and an order has ken given for the buildings to beat once com menced. The apartments for the married men belonging to the Royal Engineers will be situate at the back of the north stable square at Brompton Barracks, where the contractors have already commenced erecting the block of buildings. The sum stated will be expended at Chat ham before the close of the military year. • The following draughts from depots in Scotland are under orders for the Mediterranean—namely, 3 officers and 40 men of the 92d Highlanders from Fort George for Gibraltar ; 2 officers and 20 men of the 71st High landers from Malta ; and 3 officers and 80 men of the second battalion, let Royal., from Glasgow for Malta. Lieut.-General Sir Colin Campbell has gone to Fort George to inspect the depot battalion there, consisting of the depots of the 71st, 72d, and 92d Regimente.

Yesterday morning the metropolis was visited by the outbreak of one of the most serious fires that have oc curred for a considerable period, which laid in ruins pro perty valued at many thousand pounds sterling, besides jeopardising the lives of numerous persons. The most extensive confla-Jation took place at 7 a.m. ,in the large range of premises belonging to Messrs. Al mond, army and navy accoutrement manufacturers, S'wan-yard, St. Martin's-lane. The building, it should be stated, was at the l owest comp ntion 120 eet long, and upwards of 100 feet wide. It comprised 9 large flats, in which property of great value was deposited, the factory extending on both sides of the yard or lane, while the hou4es in St. Martin's-lane to the number of 13, and five or six in Long-acre, and many: others in Angel-court, surrounded the ill-fated property, so ahat at one period nothing short of the entire destruction of every house near could be apprehended; and as it is, we regret to state that the loss of property by the catastrophe has bean most serious. It appears tl at the fire commenced in the first floor of the faet9ry beleuging to INles,rs. Almond, immediately over tae Feabling belonging to Mr. Goodwin, and ad joined by the vr-11-known place of public entertainment termed the Perth sniurn Club and Lecture rooms. The latter building ado 'e was nearly 100 test long, and was fitted up most expensively, with chandeliers and sundry large plates of looking-alass, which we:e roughly esti mated in value at 2,000/. or 3,0001. At the Fide of this building was the surer belongi e g to-Mr, Morg a n, i n St. Martin's-lane, the back of avhioli abutted - upon the priuoipal seat of the fire. The moment the discovery was made an alarm was raised, when Mr. Palmer, the proprietor of the Parthe nitm Cub, got up, and. upon looking out of one of his back windows p-rceived that the first floor on the south 'ide of Mr. Almond's faclory was emitting a lurid glare of ligto, which at first led him to believe that some of the men were at work. In the course of a few minutes after, however, he noticed a large piece of timber in a thorough stets of ignition fall past the window, which induced him to send off in sundry directions for the aid of the firemen, and in a very brief period the engines of St. Ann's parish, under the direction of Mr. Spendlon, attended, as well as a great many of those be longing to the London Brigade, under the superintend ence of Mr. Braidwood, Mr. Colf, the foreman of the district. The West of Englanchenginct and firemen were also quickly on the spot, but by the time this powerful body arrived the flames had gained the entire possession of Messrs. Almond's factory, as well as the premises of Mr. Morgan, and were at the same time attacking with full vigour the premises of Mr. Palmer, known as the Parthenium, the backs of several houses in St. Martin's lane, as well as the gable end of Messrs. Silk's, coach factory in Lan;-acre, and the coach lace factory of Messrs. Whittinghain, Brothers, in Swan-yard. The engines were forth with set to w o rk f rom a plea Sul supply of the New River Company's water, copious streams of which were thrown upon and into the blazing prinises ; but, in spite of the most strenuous exertions of the firemen, the flames continued to progress with fearful power, so that at length the whole of the west end became brilliantly illuminated, and the steeples of the various churches were shown out in bold relief. ,Tne firemen, under the direction of their principal offi cer, kept to their posts, but in so doing were exposed to great danger, more especially two or three of the men who were working in Angel-court. While they were directing the water upon a wooden building, nearly 70 feet high, and adj sluing the lofty coach-factory of Messrs. Silk, the principal part of the wooden building fell with a loud crash, and nearly.killed the men. The firemen however, by mounting the walls and roofs of the sur rounding houses were enabled to attack the flames on either side, and after several hours' hard labour, enabled to subdue the fearful fire. The damage done is very great, but from the front street nothing approximalieg to the exact loss can be seen. The factory of Moiere. Almond is entirely con sumed, as well as the Isa,rthenium Club-rooms in St. Martin's-lane, and likewise the carriage lace factory be longiocs to Messrs. Whittingham, Sons, and Co. About 15 or 20 other parties have also sustained serious injury, either by fire, water, or bast) , removal of their furniture, among whom may be enumerated Mr. Morgan, surgeon, who was inioired in the Pbcenix Fire-office; Messrs. Silt, carriage builders, whose back factory is much injured, but the front portion bas not sustained the least damage, which was exceedingly f irtunate, for had the flames once stizsd upon the. extensive number of carriages in the place the loss of property, great as it unfortunately has been, would have been much larger. As to the origin of the misfortune not the least infor mation cluld be obtained. Two,of the Royal Society's fire-escapemen, Gould and Wheatley, rendered., great assistance to the firemen, as did also a body of the F and E divisions of police, under Mr. Superintendent Darg.n. " OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE FIRE IN ST. MARTIN'S. LANE. "Nov. 9, 1856, called to a fire in St. Martin's-lane. On arriving," Mr. Braidwood states, "I found the pre mises of Messrs. G. W. Almond, army and navy accon tremsnt makers, on fire, in Swan-yard. The fire was extinguished by the firemen and engines of the Parish, London Brigade, and West of England-offices, and with the aid of 112 hired auxiliaries.

In conclusion, and in justice to the &emu), we must add that, had they not had perseverance almost super human, we should have had to record one of the largest fires the metropolis has been visited with for several years. As it is the damage is roughly estimated at 20,0001. One of Messrs. Kine,'s men, named James Ward, saved 50 sacks of corn, and was instrumental in getting out of the premises several horses. [lt happens very singularly that this locality is the very spot where the proposed new street is to enter, into St. Martin's-lane King -street, Covent-garden I] from NEAPOLITAN MANI F I STOBS. The following appeared in oar late edition of Saturday night : NAPLES, Nov. 2. During the last three days the following mani festoes have been circulated widely here. The longest proceeds from the moat moderate party, who, while they ask for the Constitution as their right, still appeal to the King. The second pro caeds from a more advanced party, who make no allusion to the King, and stand upon their rights alone : "The fortunes of the Neapolitan people form the sub ject of grave consideratisns in the counsels of Europe. The wretched condition of this people, whe for eight years have been abandoned to the power Of a tyrannical faction and of a low police, has awakened civilised ea times, who invoke in its favour' the universal principles of 'humanity and justice.. •If thin people has ab.ftained hitherto from raising its voice, and from uniting its strength to a generous diplomacy, it has not arisen from any insensibility to its misfortunes or its rights, but it has preferred waiting to see whether the good offices initiated by the Governments of the West would result in. obtaining, without any disturbance, conditions more acceptable for the progress of c i v il isa ti on . Since this hope has proved to be vain, the, Neapolitan people, though desirous to express their profound gratitude to ttio Powers, who are guardians of civilisation, are ignorant of their present resolutions; international tre,nsactions are confined to a circle not always acces sible to the popular cry, and within which epecial cases of liherty are absorbed in vaster and more complex eases of general interest. Our duty, however, is to ad dress ourselves to the Head of our Government, and to unfold to hies openly and firmly our; wishes and opr grievances. The country is defic ent in everythMe ; the social body suffers in all its organs and all its sentiments. It is wanting in material prosperity and in flourishing industry in consequence of a; limited cothmerce and the absence •of roads ; it is wanting in iutellectuel progress, because thought is chained, and the intioduc tion of foreign works is impeded by an ignorant and wretched censorship ; because intelligence and know ledge are held in suspicion and hatred by the autho rities ; because the humbler classes are without Primary instruction, and are purposely kept in a state of barbarism and superstition ; the country is deficient, especially ,in individual liberty, because the Power of the police in every part of the kingdom 'has fallen into the hands of a licentious and deiputic see, who multiply espionage, encourage the informer and the calumniator, penetrate every house and every honour. able retrement, investigate and impugn, the slightest acts of life, suspect and distort the most secret opinions, make a' profit of denouncing and of testimony, snake a protestation of political objects to cover private gains and private vengeance, enrol and arm with sticks and knives lazzaroni and thieves, holding out to them the hope of plunder,' put forth their hand against the best citizen:, im prison and exile for ac s not forbidden or not brought to triai, make use of torture and blows, intrude continually on the judicial power, and, assuming the toga of the ma gistrate, obtain' their end by terror and false witnesses, fabricate sceusations, and afterwards, under the forin of a public requisitoria (demand for justice) and of a judicial . sentence gratify their vengeance and feed their fury and malignity ; hence the infamy of those processes, the in famy of 'which, the scandal of which, has so much en gaged the attention of the civilised world. The coun try would be deficient in religion and morality if the Christian piety of this people did not resist the corrup tions of a Governshent which selections every vice and every infamy committed by the dominant sect. Finally, it is offended in its dignity and reputation, because it has become the laughing-stock of cultivated nations, an example of slavery and basene-s ; and the Neapolitan in a foreign land was compelled to blush for his country while he marked the sneer of those who were more for tunate than himself, even before the Congress of Paris, by the most solemn diplomatic act accomplished in our days, had placed the seal on this our shame. What are the remeuies for all these ills ? The mind 1 wanders and doubts the possibility of finding any ; yet one possible remedy there is—rather let us say, neces sary and inevitable. We do not ask for new laws—we propose no reforms ; essentially Conservative, we desire only the full and true, enjoyment of the existing laws— laws, however, neelected and despised—and, more that those, one which recommends and contains all the others, that is, the Fundamental Pact of February, 1848. The learning and the experience of mankind have found no other mode than one for preventing the resolute abuse of a bad political regimen, and that is, the intervention of the people represented by their deputies, in the formation of the laws and in the guardianship of the varibuß popular interests _ of the day- Ne eeee,er a system is-not for us a -simple• desird or aspi ration, it is a perfect institution, sanctioned and sworn to, and recognised by civilised governments ; it forms a portion of the public right of Neapolitans, which by its means is complete thid harmonious, but without it is an absolute negation of every principle of government, the triumph of despotism and confusion. The suspension of this Fundamental Pact is the cau,e of all the ills which now afflict us, and had the Prince himself been able to fore see the recent facts, and the tremendous accusation which has been matured by the publicopinion of the world against the acts of his Ministers, he would not have consented, as soon as the tumult of an intemperate faction had been subdued, that others should disturb, the tranquil and natural action of the franchises which had been conceded. They were taken from us at the moment that we should have begun to reap the beneficial finds. Amid the strug gle of parties and the growth of unforeseen events, the Parliament did not even advance so far as to vote tlute organic statutes, nor did it live long enough to show its active zeal for the public good, and the civil wisdom with which it was endowed. If ever there was a time for restoring such liberties, and for returning to a state of legalty, it is this, when our rulers ought to be cm vineed by clear indications of the impossibility of con tinumg an arbitrary system, which has been acted on up to this day, in opposition to all classes, all .opinions,i all interests, through the indescribable discord n, which it is placed with all the political powers and' necessities of the age. The re-establishment of constitutional lega lity is the only triumphant solution of the existing diffi culties. Through this the people would be safe, the peace of Europe as well as the honour of the Crown maintained ; we say the honour of the Crown, for if the secret sense of an excessive sovereign pride prevents the King from yielding to coercion, it cannot appear other wise than a laudable and magnanimous use of the Sove reign prerogative to condescend to the most legitimate and most honourable appeals of an unarmed people, united and agreed among themselves in one thought, of which this specific meeting and this writing are the first deliberate manifestation." "Neapolitans,--Europe has now pronounced its judg ment between yon and your oppressors. She has seen that you are neither a turbulent nor an Utopian people ; that you asp;re to nothing new or difficult ; that you are worthy of repossessing that representative form of Go vernment which Europe herself recognised, was in active existence for two years, and which by violence was sup pressed without even the appearance of reason: It is now time to chow that if you have known how to suffer eight years of pain and outrage, you know how, and are re solved to recover your legal state, with those solid gua rantees which can alone inspire confidence and excite a zeal for the public good. With this acquisition, you will have assisted the Italian cause much better than the impa tient may deem, and by means the holiness or justice of which no one will doubt. Let this then be the common object, and yours especially, soldiers, who, worthy of better destinies, have suffered up to the present moment inglorious suff:r;ngs. and moral outrages. Neapolitans I—Union and concord, and when you shall see the constitutional banner raised aloft, symbol of your aspirations and your rights, rally all of you around it full of self-denial, united by a mutual rivalry of affection with , your fellow-citizens in Sicily, confident in the justice of the common cause and in its triumph."

A WRIT OF ELEGIT ON THE TOLLS OF THE CATTLE AIARKET.—The solicitor of Mr. Hughes has followed up the seizure of the property of the corporation by a writ of elegit, Some time since the corporation let the tolls by contract to Messrs. W. K. Walker and IL Wilcock, who made a deposit, and were to enter ou their contract on the 31 instant. Mr. Farmer, superintendent of the market, has been served with a notice from Messrs. Deakin and Dent, local agents io Mr. Hughes's solicitor, to the effect that the writ of elegit is our, and cautioning him respecting giving up posse,.sion of the market. The ease therefore stands thus :—The writ is indisputab!e, but the contractors have deposited their money, and, in the event of being debarred their rights by the legal pro ceedings, will undoubtedly have an action for breach of contract, against the corporation. —Wolverhampton Herald.

Cooper, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, and which has been chartered by the European and'Australian Mail Company, went out on a trial trip to-day with a view of testing her speed, preparatory to starting from South. ampton on the 12th inst. for Melbourne with the mails. The Simla is the largest and finest steamer of th e fleet of Peninsular and Oriental Company, being of 1,600 tons burden and . 600-horse p ower. Since her return from the Crimea, where this vessel rendered important services in the transport de partment, during the war, the Simla has been thoroughly overhauled and refitted, and was in tended to have been employed in the Australian mail service if the . contract had been conceded to thePaninsu lar and Oriental Company. This company has however so far co-operated with the. European and Australian Company as to place the Simla and one or two other of their steamers in the Eastern seas at its disposal, till the new ships building have been completed, The Simla on her trial to-day had on board 1,460 tons of coals, and 340 tons of stores, in all say 1,800 tons dead weight, and the draught of water was 20 feet 3 i nc h es a f t, an d 21 feet forward. Notwithstanding this unfavourable trim, causing the ship to be 15 - inches by the head the two runs made at the measured mile in Stokes's Bay were as follows: — Fi rst run withtide, 4m 425, equal to 12 766 knots ; second, against wind and tid e, 5 m 2 5 e, equal to 11 192 knots, showing an average of nearly 12 knots or 13 miles an hour, a result whi c h was i n th e highest degree satisfactory , considering that the Simla is fully voyage, and was laden with coatsand stores for a long not in the favourable trim usually adj uste d f or th e especial advantage of official trial trips. A large party of gentlemen interested in and connected with the two companies were on board. —On Thursday morningRAILWAY ACCIDENT. the mail traiu from Dahlia ran off the line between Castleblaney and Dundalk. No livos were lost, but the mail was three hours late in Enniskillen. r 4D. STATOMET.) STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Nov. 8 The reaction in the cotton-market has led to ex treme caution among buyers of goods here, from an impression that prices must give way ; and this result has followed to some extent in yarns, which like cotton, aro d. per lb. below the extreme rates attained eight or ten day ago. Spinners have been easier to deal with, perhaps because many who have had engagements are coming out of order, and find it difficult to secure new contracts. The aggregate of the week's transactions is inconsider able. In cloth there is rather more business, though in most kinds for shipping the demand is very sluggish. For light printers there is still a fair demand from the home trade, calico printers being mostly well engage!l, as they have been for some months past, notwithstanding the dearness of madder, indigo, rand other dyes and drugs,•as well as of the fabrics required. In heavy domestics, longcloths, and T-cloths, there is not much busi ness, and shirting cloths are neglected. Manufac turers, however, ire mostly engaged to order, and maintain prices with much steadiness. • BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 8. There is little alteratio❑ in the state of the South Staffordshire iron trade, the leading firms having been according to all authentic accounts, in no de gree affacted by the failure of Messrs. Fox and Henderson and the consequent embarrassment of dependent feundere.• Fewnew or extensive orders have been I r eight into the district, but first-class houses are well emproyed and evince no disposition to 'recede from last quarter-day's prices. The de mands of the. United States, as usual in the autumn and the approach of winter, are limited, and there appears little probability of an increase until the arrival of spring. There is fair, but not an im moderate supply of mine pigs, but cinder pigs con tinue in excess, and as a consequence sales are forced at reduced rates. It is stated that there is no foundation for the report that. any meeting of the pig makers, with a view to arrangements con nected with the state of the trade, has been in con templation this quarter. The coal trade of South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire is increasingly active, but as yet there has been no advance to the, furnaces, nor from the pits to domestic consumers. The great iron foundries of the neighbourhood remain com paratively quiet. The determination of the cre ditors of Messrs. FoX and Henderson at the meeting held in this town yesterday has afforded pretty general satisfaction, although it cannot be denied that there are creditors who doubt whether the estate will realise the amount antieiiated. The last few days have witnessed some improve ment in several branches of the trade and manu factures of Birmingham. Brass-foundry —one, if not its chief, staple manufacture—takes the lead. The brass bedstead makers are represented as being busy, and one or two of the largest establishments are at work overtime. The better descriptions aro required for abroad, and of the commoner descrip tion of metal bedsteads con3iderable quantities are required for the army at home as well as in the colonies. The stove manufacture continues to be brisk, and the patent safe trade has greatly in creased. The grate manufacture is dull, while the fire-iron business is represented as being far from active. The hollow ware trade, although mode rately good, is less brisk, owing to the stocks in hand in Australia, and the great falling off which has taken place in the exports to those colonies. The tin ware business, notwithstanding the late advance in the price of the material, continues re markably busy, and the patent enamel branch is proportionably active. The paper furniture manu facture, as distinguished from the papier macho, is extremely active. The increased demand is chiefly for first-class articles. The manufacture' of the best qualities of japannery goods is dull, the trade being injured both as regards the character of the articles produced and the profits of the manufacture by the numerous mock auctions established in all parts of the country. The lamp trade continues good, and the chandelier manufacture has upon the whole been tolerably active. There have been some extensive orders for the East and the Medi terranean. Tlie faders. of iixis town. and Wolverhtmpton z:erTetmut b6w oohitstry Argvie ih improving. The commerce which existed in Tinoa . of the principal seaports has within the last few mouths declined to some extent ; but in Liverpool there has been an increase. In the north the im provement has been most marked. In the agri cultural counties of the kingdom business with the Birmingham houses is at the present time lather slack. From the various manufacturing towns of the neighbournood the intelligence received varies little, from that of last week. At Iteditch the the needle trade •is very active, and at Coventry few complaints are made either by the watch ur the riband manufacturers. The former branch of local business has beeo in some degreb -slack in con sequence of the scarcity of American orders fur movements, but is again looking upwards.' Pau perism is on the decrease. NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 8. Few }Avers have visited this lace-market. A good many orders, previously given, chiefly for the lower qualities of plain nets, for the United States, are in course of execution, and some of them must for some time remain on hand. Coarse nets are again higher, as also are other goods of the lower qualities. This trade is in few hands, and existing machinery being limited, prices amounting almost to a premium have to be paid for the goods when manufactured, and even then a smaller quantity of nets is produced than could be sold. Hosiers also report trade to bo quiet. American orders to a large extent are in course of comple tion, previous to the commencement of ope rations for the spring. Goods aro firm, and prices have again been advanced. Certain numbers of yarn are scarce, and all are high in price. The open season greatly aids the general employment of the people, and all classes of operatives appear to be doing comfortably. A number of large contracts in the course of execu tion take up all surplus hands. LEICESTER, Nov. B. The demand for regular hosiery is dull, and manufacturers are operating cautiously,—a cir cumstance to be attributed to the present state of the money-market. • In the country district of Hinckley, the hosiery trade is improving, orders having been received for spring goods. Spinners are working short time, having a disinclination to increase stocks. The worsted yarn-market is firm, although the article is heavy of sale. LEEDS, Nov. 8. The cloth trade has been steady, but purchases have been confined to small quantities for immedi ate use or to keep up stocks in the hands of retail dealers. The wool sales in London having opened on Thursday with buoyancy, and an advance of price having been obtained, the markets for cloths, in both the coloured and the white hall, were this morning rather more animated. Buyers operated with more spirit than of late and a good bulk of cloth was sold, considering that this is usually a rather dull period of the year, the principal winter trade being over, and that for the spring not hav ing commenced. Both wool and indigo having advanced, prices of cloth are firm. The better and middle qualities of broadcloths have been sought f.)r to-day, and a good bulk of them changed hands. _ _ There is a little slackness in the woollen trade about Dewsbury, but upon the whole the trade of the district is in a satisfactory condition, and th e operatives are enjoying a full average amount of employment. At Halifax market to-day yarns and pieces were much the same, both as to price and demand, but wool was somewhat firmer. DUBLIN, Nov. 8. The Customs receipts for the week, t o Th ursday inclusive, were 21 , 138 /. against 24,2031. last week. BELFAST, Nov. 7. LINEN.—At Armagh goods sold more freely at former rates. In Lurgan low-priced birds eye were scarce and dear ; finer sets not so much wanted ; damasks unchang e d ; l ow l awns scarce ; finer neglected. At Ballymena, the trade ruled dull. LINEN YARN continues in steady demand, at former rates. Tows in good request, at full prices. FLAX.—The various country markets have been well supplied during the week. The demand con tinues active ht prices rather in favour of the buyer. COTTON.--Y arras do not show any advance in the raw material. Goods sell at about the same as last mouth. In the fancy trade improved prices rule the labour-market, a large advance having been found necessary to meet the demand for fine qualities. SuBSTITUTE FOR FOTATOES.--A good substitute for p..tatutli nas been lutro4.ll,2eil in France, the Cbmropby!- luin bulbosurn, yielding an abundance of tubers, of from half-au-ounce to an ounce each, very wholesome, nod with a delicate vanilla flavour, containing 21 per cent. of starch.

' Her Majesty's ship Sh annon, 51, screw frigate, Capt. W. Peel, C. 8., was officially inspected at Spithead on Saturday by Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour, K.C.B , prior to her sailing on a cruise t o t es t h er seago i ng qua lities. Lisbon or Cadiz Bay, we believe, will-be her first rendezvor. The Hannibal, 91, screw, Capt. Wm. Peel, C. 8., came inte Portsmouth Harbour on Saturday morning at 7 o'clock, and took up the Prince Regent's moorings. The "seventh" order has come down to pay her ,off. Her defects are to be made good, and then she is to be placed in the first-class steaul reserve. We have it rumoured that a number of screw gunboats are to be recommissioned immediately. Raleigh, 50, sailing frigate, Captain the Hon. Harry Keppel, is everything a seaman could wish for. She is expected to leave her hulk and proceed to Spithead on Monday or Tuesday next. The St. Jean d'Acrs, 101, screw, Capt. G. St V. King, C. 8., was paid off at Davenport on Friday, and was on Saturday taken into dock. The Satellite, 21, screw, Captain Prevost, having had the defect in one of the valves connected with her steam machinery made good, was taken out of dock on Friday, and proceeded in to the Sound, when she took her powder on board, and is now ready for sea. 'She is to proceed to the Pacific. The Meander, 44, which WAR paid off at Devonport on Wednesday last, is to be fitted for the coast-guard eer. vice. The Culloden and Sultana freightships were to have embarked the allotments of the British German Legion (1,000 total), mentioned in The Sun of Saturday, on that day, at Portsmouth Dockyard. An immense quantity of stores, clothing, provisions, agricultural implements, &a., were shipped in the two vessels on Ft iday by a fatigue party told off for that duty, but some misunderstand ing prevented the embarkation of the troops on Satur day. The canip at Brandown was tO have been broken up on Saturday, but this will not now take place until to-day, when the Germans will. go on board the ships chartered for their transport to the Cape of Good Hope. There is• at present great activity at Pembroke Dock yard, which is in progress of being improved, by greater length being given to the dry dock. This is to be accom plished by extending it considerably more into the haven as well as by adding several feet to its length inland. This extension has become necessary from the great additional length given to our men of war, one of which now being laid down as a frigate is to be 300 feet long, which is considerably more than the line•of-battle ship Duke of Wellington, EDINBURGH MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.—By an act passed last sessien the munioipal boundary has been ex tended outwards t) the limits of the Parliamentary burgh, thus enlarging the area of the city by nearly three times and viving the town-council a population of nearly 200,000 instead of 60,000 to represent. The same act unite& the duties of the police board with the towr council, and provides for the dissolution of the former board and the enlargement of the town-council from 33 to 41 members. The whole former council having got out of office, the election of a new council took place on Tuesday last, and in 12 out of the 13 wards there was a keen contest, and no fewer than 6,041 elegtors voted, out of a constituency of 8,297. The elections resulted in the return of 18 of the former members of council out of 26 presenting themselves to the wards, and of 23 new councillors. Of those elected 11 are Churchmen, 15 Free Churchmen, 2 Episcopalians, and 12 Voluntary Dissenters. - Upon the whole the elections proved most unfavourable to the Church Party. On Friday the Magisterial elections took place. Mr. John Mel ville, writer to the signet, was re elected Lord Provost--a compliment in great measure due to him for his exertions in promoting the Municipal Exten sion Bill, which some of his predecessors had, been unable to c,:rry. Six hailies instead of four full to be electt d under the act. Three bailies of the former council having been again returned were re-elected, namely : The new bafflers elected were Messrs. James Bl ac k adder, Messrs. E. Br own D oug l as, J o h n K ay , and John Clark. R S. Grieve, and Robert Stephenson. Mr. George E. Russell was elected treasurer of the city,
