The Sun. — London, England, 1856-10-25 00:00:00

From the manufacturing districts, generally, the advices received this morning state that the de mand for most fabrics has continued steady, and in some instances rather fuller prices have been obtained. In consequence of a rise in cotton higher terms have been asked for goods and yarns. The export inquiry is generally limited. The commercial advices from Antwerp report an active business during the week in the chief articles o f import and the sales effected have been at ra ther enhanced prices, excepting in grain, which continues gradually to fall. In the sugar market there is not a large stock in first hand,, either of raw or refined, and the quotations of last week have been steadily maintained. The demand for Co ffee has kept pace with the supply, while the favourable accounts from the Brazils of a slight reduction in the market have been counteracted by the increased charge for freight. The market f or tallo w is firm, without any alteration in pricer. The Bank o f E ng l an d R e t urn f or th e wee k en di ng t he 18th inst. has been more favourably received tha n might have been expected from the very im portant changes which it exhibits. Notwith standing the decline in the bullion, and the serious f a iling off in the reserve of notes, however, there i s a confident impression that the next balance 'abeet will show a decided improvement in the gene ral position of the establishment. The pay ment of the dividends as usual has caused extensive alterations in the public and private deposits. The 'various items, and the variations from the pro 'ceding statement, are as subjoined : Active Circulation Increase Bullion 9, 760,482 Decrease Rest Increase Pnblic Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Increase seven-Day and other 8i115... 985,192 Increase G overnment Securities DFcrease Other Securities • Decrease N 'ctes unemployed Decrease 2 118 official return of the exports of bullion f r om .

Th ere i s a littl e wea k ness , but that is attributable to a few sales in realisation °f profits and the absence ef money purchases. Con eels for money have been 92 n, and :or account, after being 92i I-, they also closed 921 ;!.. The New " Per Cents. have been dealt in at 911 to 92i ; t he Reduced at 91/ Exchequer Bills, 28. to 68 . premium, and the Bonds 98/ East India stock is quoted 2261, being firmer. In Foreign Securities the dealings have been very much contracted, but the prices ar© generally heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. have ruled flat at 89 to 89:1_, a decline of about per Cent., but the 4 per Cents, are steady at 99-a Spanish 3 per Cents, are 42, Do. Deferred 24 to 24/, and the Certificates 54. Sardinian Bonds have been 89 to 89 1. There have been dealings in Peruvian 4i per Cents. at 76k, in the 3 per Cents, at 54, and in Dutch 4 per Cents. 95. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 67 71 ; Mexi can, 214 2 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 75 77 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 108 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 95 97; Spanish 3 per Cents., 41 421 ; ditto Deferred, 24 24 2 ; ditto Certificates, 6 1-; ditto Passive, 61 Very little business has been done in the Pail- Way Share market this morning , and previous quotations have, in most instances, been unsup ported. Caledonian, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, South-Western, Midland, and most of the other lines have ruled heavy. Foreign and Colonial have attracted very little attention, but Rips were slightly improved. The alterations in Mines, Banks, and Miscella neous Shares are unimportant.

CHARGE OF SEI.: , PLIFTING. — Frances M'Gccvin, ayoung woman of respect,able appearance, was brought before Mr. Bsrchatn, cha d with stealing a piece of gingham and eleven bandit, irchiefs from the shop of Mr. Henry Grcen, linen draper, 49, Biackfriars road. Cbarles Has.',ett,, assistant to Mr. Green, said that about seven o'clock, on the previous evening the prisoner came into the shop. .pith an infant in her arms and asked to be supplied with. :half a yard of flannel. He had occa sion to go to anot7 le: part of the shop, and on hie return the prisoner came towards him with a bundle of hand kerchiefs in her :band. Witness asked her what she was going to do w: th them ? She replied that they were her sister's, and she,:had given them to her. Having seen them a few minutes previous on a pile of blankets he felt assured that she haci stolen their property. He detained ber until his . mattter came, when a piece of gingham and a piece of cambric vt 'ere found under her shawl. He had seen all the property inside the shop previous to the pri soner coming in, an d she had not purchased either of the articles. Mr. Green said L e found the gingham and cambric under her shawl, awl gave her into custody. She said it was the property of her sister, but witness identified it as belonging to him fr ora private marks thereon. Police-constable 89- C said that when he took the pri soner into custody she said that all the property had been stolen from a shop in Oxford-street by her sister, who was taken before a magistrate and committed for nine months. At the station house she said it was her own property. ' In answer to Ilia charge, the prisoner said that such was the fact, sl a had purchased them elsewhere, and merely went into Mr. Green's Ehop to have half a yard of flannel for her baby, havirg forgot it at the other shop. Mr. Burnham a , ked her whether she would prefer being tried by him or go to the sessions. If she selected the former she must plead guilty. Ile did not wish her to do so unles filie wax guilty. Prisoner—l atn guilty, sir. I hope you will have mercy on me on account of my child. Mr. Burnham said that as he understood nothing was known of her he should not inflict the highest penalty on her. She must be committed to the House of Curren. tion for four months, with hard labour. LLOYD'S. SHIPPING.—(Itis Day.) LONDON, Oct. 25.—Wind this day at noon, N.E.; light breeze and fine.

THE POOD-lAI 7 BOARD AND THE PARISH OF MARY LEBONE —Ytilerday a fully attended meeting of the directors and i;uatelians of St. Mary!chone was held in the boa,rd.rnota of the Workhouse, New-road ; the sub ject for diecusidon being whether the board would, or out of the recent fl agg i ng g wo uld not, regeeive the resi g nation of the meter of the w orkhouse, „risin of pauper females, and it bein g understood tha t the P oor-law Board bad also is sued further orders u po n the sub j ect. Mr. Vanheeine occu p ied the chair. The Hon . and Rev. W. Pelham (the rector) moved that, before the resigna tion of the ietaeter he dealth with, the secretary he de sired to obtazin the opinion of counsel whether there is anything in the local acts of this parish which exempts this beard from the provisions , of those acts of Parlia ment which regulates the Pooreaw Commission ; and if not, whether such acts authorise the Pocr-law Commis sionere, under any eircinnstaPees , to discharge the master or ary other cillecr of the workhouse i,,,lependent;y of vteil ef tie teiard of enertliete e 're motion was car ri el on a li4ieiiiit 03 1 a majoie.y of 17 r.O 7 ; an d consideration of the other documents was delerred to the next meeting of the beard, which, after a long sitting, separated. The Warwick Meeting was not remarkable. Things were conducted in the old style, but plenty of sport was afforded. They who went to the "far north," and as sisted at the aristocratic gathering at Kelso, swear they saw the Cambridgeshire winner in Alma, who won her race there with a stone and a half in hand, as the phrase goes. John Scott has discovered something in Coup de Main, who, if my memory serves me aright, was entered for a selling race at York, to be sold for 801.; and, al though he was backed, he got only a rnieerabie third. The Newmarket folk believe in Eloquence, who will assuredly run well. Vengeance is very unsteady in the market, and the shine has been a little taken out of Pole Star. Neither has, I am told, done much work this week. From the style in which Malacca figured in the Ceearewiteh, I am in duced to believe that he will carry Mr. Parr's colours into a prominent position. They who saw him coming through the ditch gap, recollected that Scherz did the same, and expect that Malacca may give a repetition of the Scherz performance. If Coup de Main's trial with Warlock be true, Merlin can have hut a very slender chance. The Poacher is turned loose, and his light weight will enable him t© get home. Little David, it is stated, may astonish the natives by again wincing this event, but his party have 'perhaps mere faith in the Cave Adullarn. If the Warwick running with Hunger ford, Pole Star, and Lrvly Tattoo, in September, he cor rect, "the Baron's hone" will take some stalling off. I shall net express a definite opinion on the probable result of the race, intending to send my notes, as usual, from Newmarket for publication or Mond y. In my last despatch from headquarters I was fortunate enough to select the first and second for the Cesarewitch. I shall, too, as usual, collect any little waifs and strays of information which come in my way. The Criterion will be decided oa Monday. Sydney has 6tbs. extra to carry, and ho must be a better horse than I think. him to be if he can boat the unpeualised Rosa Bonheur. October 25. A FRESII MAN. STRIKE OF MINERS. THE MILITARY CALLED OUT. For 15 weeks past the men employed at the Talargosb lead works, near Prestatyn, North Wales, have turrAd out, owing to some disagreement between them and their masters relative to the code of rules, uncle: which the " bargains " in the pit are in future to be taken. During the whole of the strike, previous to Tuesday last, the men had been peaceably conducted, but in consequence of a strange engineer having been enggged, a party of 30 men dressed as Rebecca and her daughters went to the works and fired a gun charged with shot through the window of the engine•hou=e. Fortunately, the engineer was not in his usual place, and ccnsegnently escaped injury. The men next went to the agent's office window and fired three times through it, expectieg the agent was in bed in the room. Instead of being in bed, however, he was out in the ground, and therefore received no hurt. The consequence of this riotous conduct was that a number of special constAbles were sworn in, and on Thursday evening last a detach ment of the 89th Foot, the depot of which regiment is in Chester, were sent to tho scone of the outrage. The miners seemed to enjoy the fun of seeing the soldiers, and gave vent to their feelings in noisy good humour. The military mounted guard on the works, and relieved the special constables. On Fri day meetings of both the men and magistrates were held, and the soldiers were ordered to remain for a short time, both parties seeming determined to maintain their grounds of difference. Some time is expected to elapse before an amicable arrangement is arrived at. Mark '',A7 3. --(This E ay.) COVENT u-A RDEN.

HERNE-BAY AND FAVERSHAM. A meeting of the inhabitants of 'Whitstable was held on Wednesday for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposed line of railway from Herne-bay and Paver sham. Dr. Williams was in the chair. A deputation from Herne-bay attended, consisting of Mr. Newton, Dr. Godfrey, &c. Several speakers having addressed the meeting, setting out the benefits the proposed railway would confer on the town, Bir. HOLDEN proposed the f Mowing resolution :—"That it is the opinion of this meeting that the proposed line of railway from Herne-bay to Faversham will be of great ad vantage to the town of Whitstable, and that this meetin g Piedra itself to support the undertaking as far as pos pible." . _ Mr. GANN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. A resolution was then passel, requesting Mr. Ellis to represent tile inhabitants of Whitstable as one of the directors of the proposed iine. A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the pro ceedings. PEEBLES. The report of the directors of this company states that the t otal revenue for the half-year ending Aug. 31 amounted to 4,584/.; and the working expenses, including manage ment. to 2,463/., or 53 per cent., being at the rate. of Is. 2id. per mile on 39,910 miles run by the locomotives. The total mileage since the opening of the line has been 87,475, and the average cost of locomotive power, including repairs, has been 7 - 86 d. per mile. Oat of the disposa ble balance of 2.1181. the directors recommend a dividomd at the rate of ss. per sharo, which will absorb 1,750 t., leaving a balance of 3651. to be carried to the next account. No dividend having been declared last half-year, the above is equivalent to 21 per cent. for the first year. SCOTTISH NORTH-EASTERN. The first general meeting. of this company was held at Aberdeen on Thursday; J. Stirling presiding. The report of the directors was approved, and resolutions were unanimously passed to the effect that 'a dividend at the rate of fi per cent. per annum be paid upon the Aber deen Guaranteed 6 per Cent. Stock for the half-year ending the 31st of October; that a dividend of 3. per cent: per annum be paid upon the Scottish Midland Consolidated Capital Stock of the company for the half-year ending the 3 let of July ; that the directors be authorised to issue divi dend warrants to the holders of the Aberdeen 7 per c.:>nt. preference stock, falling due thereon at the Ist of November next ; that the number of the directors be reduced to 11, and that their remuneration be 6001. per annum ; that the directors be anthorised to take shares in the Perth, Almond Valley, and Methven Railway Company to the extent of 7,0001. sterling.

The report of the directors of this company states that the bill enabling the company to convert its paid up capital into stock has received the Royal assent. They do not cen template any further issue of capital during the present year. The accounts of revenue received show that the working expenses, which up to the 30th of June, 1815, hail been at the rate of 67 per cent., had been reduced to 41'85 per cent. for the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1855 ; and that a further sum of 20,6211. bad been paid over to the Government of India in diminution of advan es on account of interest. The Board aro informed that for the succeeding half-year, the working (expellees will bear even a lesser ratio to the receipte. The number of p tsseu gers carried on the line from the let of January to the 30th of June last was 432,321, of which 6,466 were first-class, 23,25 second-class, and 402,593 third-class. The result as compared with the precediug half-year shows an iecrease of 25,794 passengers. The tonnage of goo is was 33.010 tons, against 20,020 tons at the corresponding period of 1855. As the inland transit between Rauegunge and the upper provinces is of a very inferior description; no large amount of revenue must be expected from goods generally until a greater portion of the line is opened. The directors regret to report that Mr. Stephenson's health has broke❑ down in the performance of his arduous duties, and that he is compelled to relinquish the company's agency in 1.11- die in consequence. While the directors have reason to be satisfied with the rate of progress during the last six months on the greater portion of the works, they are dis appointed with the proceedings of some of the contractors on other portions. The section between Allahabad :red Cawnpore will not be opened so early as was coutempleto - 1 in India, owing to the difficulty which the board apprehend might supervene of conveying heavy materials up the coun try. The works from Cawnpore to Delhi will be con structed by the railway company's own officers. At the suggestion of the authorities surveys were con ducted by Mr. Purser, the company's chief engineer in the upper provinces, during the working season of 1855 56, with a view to determine the best means of railway com munication between Mirzepore and Jupptdpore ; and the result shows a favourable line of 250 miles, at a cost, exclu sive of rolling stock and superintendence, of about 2,030,0001. This line,will form one of the groat trunk lines of India, and the district through which it passes commands a traffic which cannot fail to be largely retinue rative. The board of directors are prepared to recommend the proprietors to enter into a contract for the new line, on the understanding that, during its constructien, the accounts are kept distinct from those of the line to Delhi, and that no proceedings under that contract shall interfere to prevent the shareholders coming into possession of their share cf the profits which may be made beyond the guaran teed rate of interest on the capital expended under their present contracts. In the event of the proprietary adopt ing the recommendation of the board the capital will be offered, when the terms are finally settled, from time to time, to the shareholders in rateable proportions.

CUMBERLAND. —Meadow hay, 2/ 15s to 4/ 12s ; clover do., .51 lOs to 5/ 10s ; and straw, 117 s to 1/ 12s per load, Both hay and straw moved off slowly, at late rates. WRITECHAPEL.—Meadow hay, 21 lOs to 4/ lOs; clover do., 41 Os to 5/ 14s; and straw, 11 64.t0 1 lOs per load. Supply tolerably good, and trado dull. Col. Sandbatn, director of - the Royal Engineers at Chatham, has been ordered to hold in reacFness one com pany of the Royal Engineers corps (Sappers and Miners) for the purpose of proceeding to Dover, where they are to be employed is eogiaeoring operatiows. THE SOUTH WA.LBs RAILWAY.—The first local meet ing of the directors—an object decided upon at the last general meeting, atter so much argument—was held at the Neyland terminus on Friday last. The Malakoff steamer and other vessels were gaily decorated with flags on the occasion. Mr. Talbot, the chairman of the board, presided. The purport of the meeting had refer ence to the traffic in general and that per steamers with Ireland in particular ; also that of the construction of the proposed hotel on the spot, for the accommodation of the numerous passengers. This is one of the most important events favourable to the line that has yet transpired. The great delay in the completion of the pier must have arrested their attention and caused their displeasure. GM'S HOSPITAL—At a Court of Committee's of this hospital, held on the 14th inst., the Ri g ht H on . an d Ri g ht Rev. Lord Auckland, Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P., M r . W es t ern Wood, and Mr. Augustin Robinson were elected gover nors of the hospital in the room of three governors de ceased and one retired. COLLISION AT THE WATERLOO ROAD TERMINUS.— Yesterday forenoon a train w a s being made ready on the main line for Harnpton-court, and several passengers were seated, when anoth er tra i n was b eing taken upon the Windsor line. The last train was going at its usual speed, when the pointsman, by some accident, turned the pints so as to send the Windsor train upon the main line, and the consequence was that the Windsor train came into c Alisien with the one for Hampton court, forcing the passengers from their seats, and hurling them in terrib!e confusion among each other. The Hampton -court train came rattling down the rails at a fearful speed, and no one can jell what direful effects woeld have ensued had it not been for the pre sence of mind of Mr. Parker, one of the chief .nspectere; who eeeine the great danger that existed, and regardless of his own personal safety, rushed off the platform, entered one of the break carriages, and, apply ing the break most vigorously, was enabled to skid the wheels and thereby stop to a great extent the momentum of the carriages, but not, however, until the train had been forced alrnost to the extremity of the platforry. By the sudden concussion several persoes were injured ; one lady had ore of her eyes severely injured, another was severely cut about both legs, and three or four others were more or laws hurt. Is time one and the same thing for all mankind, flowing on in one unvarying stream, carrying along with it prejudices, errors, and delusions of all kinds, and continually bringing down new convic tions to replace the old ; or is time a different thing to different people, "galloping," as bhaks pere says, "with some, and standing entirely still with others ?" The question may seem a strange one, but it really seems impossible to believe that Thomas Vincent Airaldi, of the Order of Preachers, Master in Sacred Theology, and Grand Inquisitor in the diocese of Ancona and certain other lands and localities, specially appointed by the Hely See against heretical depravity, can actually exist on the surface of this planet at the same time with Humboldt and with Herschel, with the inventors of the electric telegraph, with Faraday) with Igen or with G ro t e ? W as T homas Ai ra ldi b orn 306 years ago, and has he slept the sleep of Nourjahad or Rip van Winkle, and awoke into the 19th eon tury with the ideas and prejudices of the 16th ? We cannot tell ; but some supposition at least as extraordinary as this is needed to explain the ex istence at the present time of so singular and mon strous a phenomenon. This Grand Inquisitor, in his zeal against heretical depravity, informs us, " that without the Catholic faith, as the Apostle Paul writes to the Jews, it is impossible to please Got" The word of the Apostle is "faith," and " Catholic" is the addition of the Grand Inquisitor, whose indignation against heretical c 1( pravity does not prevent him from garbling the text of Scripture by wilful misquotation. The document in ques tion proceeds to enjoin all persons to inform and testify against all persons of their acquaintance who are heretics, Jews, Mahomedans, or apos tates, or "who may have committed acts from which sufficient proof might be deduced that they are in open or secret league with the Devil, per forming acts of sorcery, magic, or necromancy, offering to the above-named (that is to say, th e Devil) perfumes, incense, or prayers for the disco very of treasures, or other uniiky purposes, by in vocations or promises of obedience, or by other practices in which his name or others are invoked who are familiar with or who practise necromancy, or no matter what sort of magic." There are a great many more offences enumerated, and this marvel lous document, which is ordered to be posted up in all shops and hotels, concludes with two . especial denunciations. The first is against those who use any book not previously approved by the Holy Office ; and the second against Christians who sheep, eat, or play with a Jew, or disguise them selves in the garments of that stiff-necked race. It is signed by the same Thomas Airaldi, ces the Bth day of August of this present year (18WG). If the Church of Rome requires from its disci ples that they should learn much, on the other baud it makes them the compensation that it asks them to unlearn nothing. Every absurdity to which the human mind for the last I,BOJ 3 ears has bowed in degrading submission is petrified for the use of the faithful, - and dud up at suite.ble intervals to show how far the infallible Ceurc,h is raised above the progress of human inteibgence, and how completely she can afford to despise the lessons of exerience and the dictates of reas9n. Because, during the dark ages, when the belief in witch raft and necromancy was universal, the Church of Rome, never before and often behind the age, proscribed these imaginary offences, the same form must again and again be ;;one through, that she may not be supposed to falter or draw back from positions which she has once occu pied. She is cursed with infallibity, and can there fore retrench no extravagance and admit no cor rection. It has come to be pretty generally ad mitted, whatever opinions existed to the contrary in the days of Faust and Margaret, that the " abovenanied" enters into no league with the sons of men ; and, indeed, the sanity of the late Mr. Dove was gravely doubted by many persons, prin cipally on the ground of his having sought to enter into a contract of the kind of which the most Holy inquisition desires to be particularly . informed. We wonder what kind of response such an adjura tion as this meets with from the true sous of the Church—what kind of evidence the Holy Office re quires to establish a league with the "above named,"—what manner of perfumes and incense are agreeable to the nostrils of the enemy of man kind. The Prince of Darkness is a gentleman by reputation, and, as such, probably exquisite and recherche in his taste. Can the Jesuit tell us any thing about him, and where he is to be found ? Magic, too, and necromancy, which the cold fancy of this northern land finds only in the per formances of the Wizard of the North and the King of the Conjurors I How delightful' to find that on the-coasts of the sunny Adriatic there are Mill ghosts and enchanters, and that the land of Ariosto has not subsided into the prose of modern life ! Let them come—spectres and goblins, en chanters, and enchantresses, Astolfes and Admiras —Thomas Airaldi, Grand Inquisitor, specially ap pointed against heretical depravity, is ready for them all, and will treat them with as little mercy, as if they had "abused the locality of penance," or slept, eaten, or played at cribbage with the Jew. Perhaps it is good for human, pride that the Church of Rome should offer to us from time to time these incredible manifestations of folly and fatuity. Wo have obtained so large a dominion over the powers of nature, we are achieving triumphs so great and unexpected, that we might be tempted to overrate the scope of the human faculties if the Church of Rome were not per petually there, to remind us of the boundless credu lity and infantile superstition of which that same human intellect is capable. For the Church of Rome the earth does not revolve upon her axis, nor perform her annual journey round the sun. Rome is as sceptical of the most undoubted truth as credulous of the clearest and most unquestioned falsehood, yet still she stands erect amidst admir ing thousands, denouncing imaginary crimes and punishing imaginary heresies, and never, probably, at any former period held so large a portion of mankind under her sway as at this moment. Pride was not made for man --if any one doubts it, let him ponder well the history of the Holy Office, and he will doubt no more.—Times. BOILER EXPLOSION AT MIDDLESBOROUGH. MIDDLESBOROUGH-ON-TEES, OCT. 23. The inquest on Wllliarnson, White, Atkinson, and Cbeeseman, the four men killed by the explosion e, lo c motive on Thursday last, was resumed this morning by Mr. J. P. Sowerby, at the Exchange. It was stated at the commencement of the inquiry that two of the injured men were still in an unfit state to give evidence, Robson, the fitter, being quite blind. Th e o nly witness called was R. Archer, engine-driver, who said,—l was upon the engine at the time of the accident. Thomas Williamson, Charles Atkinson, Thomas White ; Matthew Cheeseman, and James Robson, a fitter, were also there. We rose the steam up by Mr. Williamson's orders. Having lit the fire at 11 o'clock, the steam was up about two o'clock, or a quarter past. Mr. Williamson just before the accident asked what pressure there was 'upon her. I told him 781 b., and he said I was t o screw th e spring balance down a bit further—down to 100. I proceeded to do so, and in a moment the boiler burst. I know no thing more. I saw no leakage when he gave these orders, and I certainly apprehended no danger. I had sufficient confidence in Mr. Williamson to obey his orders. When a new engine is finished it is usual to test her in the same manner as this one, to ascertain her power. There have been two or three engines built in the works. Mr. Williamson had full control, and no one else. I was blown off in the explosion, and had my head cut by a piece of plate. I only saw one of the dead bodies before they carried me away. By a Juror— The boiler was full of water at the time. I had noticed the glass just before. We bad run her the e whole previous week at 130 generally. It would take perhaps half an hour to get the pressure up from 72 to be to 100. Where the boiler was standing she could not got up to 72 in less than three hours.
