The Canada has been announced from America With £15,460. The advices received this morning from the manu facturing districts are as satisfactory as could have been anticipated when the circumstance of the recent increase in the value of money is taken into consideration, and the consequent curtailment of speculation. orders. At Manchester there has been a large im portation of cotton, and prices for cloth and yarn have been influenced in favour of buyers. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield has suffered through the great caution exhibited by operators, although confidence in the future progress of affairs is everywhere manifested. The lace and hosiery departments at Nottingham and Leicester have shown activity, and at Sheffield, Birmingham, and Wolverhampton, business in all branches contiaued very brisk, with large orders on hand.

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day ruled firm, and fine samples in some instances com manded Is per qr more money. For goad and fine malting barley there was a steady demand at extreme currencies. Oats, beans, and peas were tolerably firm, and in fl our a fair business was transacted at full quotations. Advices from New York report considerable speculation in wheat and flour, but with a very small business doing for export. On the Continent, the corn trade generally is teady. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 5,311 qrs of wheat, 9,956 barley, 11,096 oats, 1,609 rye, 5,198 beans, 2,396 pea-, 20,8801inseed, 37,581 oilseeds, 4,5L0 maize, 360 sundry seeds, 1,941 sacks and 6,063 brls flour. The arrivals of wheat from Essex fresh up to this morn ing's market were only moderate, but there was a tolerably extensive show of produce on the Kentish stands. The condition of the supply exhibited a slight improvement when compared with Monday last. Both for red and white qualities the trade ruled firm, and although factors commenced busi ness by demanding is per quarter more money, buyers were indisposed to operate at the advance, but they subsequently purchased somewhat freely ; at the full prices of this day se'nnight, to is per quarter improvement, and a fair clear ance was effected. There was a fair show of most descriptions of foreign wheat on the stands, and the trade generally was firm. Fine red American and fine Russian qualities changed hands at, in some instances, an improvement in prices of Is per quar ter, and all other parcels sold at quite last Monday's cur - rency. The quality of American white wheats on offer was somewhat inferior. Floating cargoes of wheat were in moderate request, at full prices. Maize and spring corn ruled firm. With most kinds of barley, both English and foreign, the market was fairly supplied. Good and fine malting qualities were in request, at fully previous quotations. In ferior parcels moved off slowly, yet prices were supported. In grinding and distilling qualities, an increased amount of business was transacted, at full currencies. _ _ The malt trade was tolerably active, and botheld and new samples commanded extreme rates. The supply of oats was very moderate. For all qualities the trade ruled firm, and, compared with Monday last, an advance in price of from 6d to Is per quarter took place. The supply of beans was by no means extensive. The trade exhibited more firmness, and the full prices of Monday last were obtained for all qualities. Peas fully supported previous rates. The supply on offer was only moderate, and the demand ruled steady. Maize was firmer, and the quotations had an upward tendency. Barrel flour—the supply of which was very moderate — sold steadily at fully the late improvement in currency. Town and country made flour was in fair average request, and prices held firm.

The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market was seasonably good, both as to number and quality. On the whole, the trade ruled steady, at about previous rates. From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts fresh up were moderate; whilst those from Ireland and Scotland were tolerably good. The general condition of the supply, however, was very middling. Prime Scot; short horns, Herefords, and Downs, commanded a steady sale, at fully last Monday's currency ; but inferior breeds met a dull inquiry, at late rates. The top figure was 5s per Blbs. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,000 short horns, &c.; from other parts of England 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 130 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 600 oxen, cows, and heifers. We were again but moderately supplied with sheep. Com pared with several previous weeks their quality exhibited a falling off. Downs and half-breeds were in steady request, at extreme rates. Otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The general top figure was 5s ; but a few very superior Downs realised 5s 10d per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was only moderate—met a dull inquiry. In prices, however, no change took place. There was only a limited inquiry for pigs at last week's quotations. s. d. s. d.

The attendance of buyers at the public sales of colonial wool now in progress continue good. The biddings gene- rally rule active, and in some instances a slight advance on the opening rates has been realised. Within the last few days American buyers have taken a considerable quantity of greasy Cape wool at 91d to Hid per lb. For Belgium a moderate business is doing, but French buyers are operat ing to a very moderateextent. To the present time about 50,000 bales have passed the hammer, viz. :-8,500 bales Sydney, 6,600 Port Philip, 2,100 Van Diemen's Land, 750 Adelaide, 12,000 New Zealand, 1,000 Swan River, 17,000 Cape, and 2,200 sundries. In the trade for English wool by private contract we have to report continued firmness, at fully previous quotations. Advices from Australia state that the new clip will be unprecedentedly good, both in point of quantity and length Of staple. Several parcels of new produce ]tad already arrived at Sydney and Melbourne at he date of our latest intelligence. TALLOW. The tallow trade is dull to-day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell, Chan nel], and Pigott.) THE CASE OF THE ALEXANDRA. THE QUEEN V. SILLIM AND OTHERS, CLAIMANTS OF THE ALEXANDRA. The Attorney General, the. Solicitor General, the Queen's Advocate, Mr. Locke, Q.C., and Mr. T. Jones were for the plaintiffs, Sir Hugh Cairns, Q.C., Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., Mr. Mellish, Q.C,, and Mr. Kempley were for the defendants. The arguments in this case on the question as to whether there should be a new trial, were resumed this morning, for the sixth day. The Queen's Advocate commenced his argument this morning. He stated that, in accordance with a canon of law, penal statutes shonld be construed in such a man ner as that the meaning of the words of the Act were not to be so narrowed as to defeat the public policy of the Act, and the evident intention of the L9gislature ; so they were not to narrow the seventh section, under which these proceedings were taken, in such a way as to frustrate the object the legislation had in view. The statute was essentially a preventative statute, and so far from desiring to wait, before taking action, until the mischief had been done, it stopped it at the very first opportunity. and to omit this characteristic of the Act you take away one of the most important keys to its practise. The learned advocate objected to the quotation from Vattel as an autbo tity on international law in this case, for this reason , Vattel was a Swiss, and as large numbers of men were continually being enlisted, and conveyed from his country to serve as soldiers for foreign Powers, he devotes one part of his work to a defence of that proceeding. Vattel therefore wrote with a certain bias, and was not to be depended upon in reference to this question. Adverting to the words "fit out," "furnish," "equip," and " arm," he claimed that the axiom should be accepted, that it must not be presumed that those words were synonymous and superfluous. The case was proceeding when we went to press, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE COLONEL WAUGII.--,7IIDOMENT ON APPLICATION FOR RELEASE FROM CUSTODY. His Honour to-day proceeded to give judgment on the application of this bankrupt for release from custody. The arguments in the case were fully reported a few days since. His Honour now said that he had conferred with Mr. Com missioner Holroyd, who concurred with him that, in mak ing an unconditional order of discharge, it would raise a conflicting jurisdiction with the Court from which the writ of copies was issued, and on which the bankrupt was ar rested, and required to find bail to the amount of £50,000. His Honour considered the detention of the bankrupt with out the detaining creditors taking any steps to try the case was an act of great oppression and injustice, and he . thought it probable that on the altered statement of the circumstances and the delay of the detaining creditors in prosecuting their suit, the court from which the writ was issued or a judge would alter or vary their order. Mi. Commissioner Holroyd concurred in the view, and also suggested that as the detaining creditors were the official managers of the estate which were being wound up in Chancery, the Chief Clerk would, on the case being fully laid before him, make an order for the discontinuance of the action, but after either or both applications had been made, and the opinion of the court above obtained, Colonel Waugh might, if necessary, apply again to this court. He would, however, suggest to the assignee to consider whether there was anything to justify them in lending themselves to the assistance of the detaining creditor in keeping Coldnel Waugh in custody, and whether it was beneficial to the creditors when the assignees tacitly ad mitted that they did not think that the action could be suc cessful. He would put it whether it was quite fair and just to do so when the accountant had made an affidavit that the accounts required the personal attention of the bankrupt, which could not be rendered in p r i son . Mr. Linklater said that the assignees had no personal feeling in the matter, all they wished to do was to protect the interest of the general body of creditors ; he therefore would, on their behalf, act on the suggestion of the Court, and withdraw their opposition to the bankrupt's release. Mr. Sargood (for Colonel Waugh) then urged that the question of jurisdiction of the Court was avoided, for Mr. Linklater conceded that the release of the bankrupt would be advantageous to the creditors. His Honour said Mr. Linklater had not said that, or i would have been different. Mr. Linklater said he could only say he was willing to act on the suggestion by the Court. Mr. Sargood then submitted that instead of sending Col. Waugh to two superior courts, the Queen's Bench and Chancery, and then bringing him back h ere , w h en t h e question of jurisdiction m i g ht be again raised, th e C our t might order a release, and the detaining creditors might appeal to the Lord Chance llor, when both the question of jurisdiction and the facts wo uld be raise d. • Mr. Bazley opposed, but His Honour said he would further consider the matter, and give his final judgment on Wednesday. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 178. 100. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appear that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Lo riceudon th an jn P ar i s. By advises fromnamburg the p Oi gold is 1251 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling. 'tandard gold at the English Mirt,price is, therefore, nearly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than i n Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 159i.t0 1601 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 40 per cent. At these rates th ere i s a sma ll profit on the import ation of gold from the United_States. PARIS, Nov. 21.—Le Monde of to-day publishes a letter of the Emperor, dated Nov. 14, to the Bishop of Arras. The Emperor says he has seen with pleasure, and sincerely Congratulates, the Bishop upon the energetic part taken by him in the defence of the Faith, by a work destined to combat a recent production which sought to raise doubt upon one of the fundamental principles of the Catholic religion. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA. BLANCHE DE NEVERS. The pleasant recollection of what Mr. Balfe has already done as a musical composer would of itself be quite suffi cient to attract a brilliant and overflowing audience on the production of a new opera from his pen, even supposing there was no previous interest attaching to the story dealt with, but, coupling the fact of the immense patronage that has been showered upon the great sensational drama, " The Duke's Motto," at the Lyceum, unusual interest was excited on Saturday evening to witness ilow the popular composer had dealt with the subject in his last new opera, "Blanche de Nevers." Our own impression is that the story was too complicated to afford materials for an opera, although the services of Mr. John Brougham, the adapter of the drama, had been secured to furnish the libretto for Mr. Balfe. In that opinion wa are now confirmed, although it must be confessed great tact and ingenuity has been exer cised in the adaptation. The characters aro precisely the same as in the " Duke's Motto." Fechter's great part, Lagardere, of course is sustained by Mr. W. Harrison, the rest of the cast being as follow s :—Philip of Orleans (Re• gent of France), Mr, A. St. Albyn ; the Prince de Gon zagues, Mr. W. H. Weiss ; Cocardasse, Mr. Henri Corti ; Peyrolles, Mr. J. Rouse; )Esop (the Hunchback), Mr. Ansley Cooke; Narvailles, Mr. C. Lyall ; Diego, Mr. Friend ; Chavernay, Mr. Arthur ; Notary, Mr. Goodwin ; the Princess de Gonzagues, Miss Emma Heywood; Zillah (a Gitana), Miss Anna Hiles; and Blance de Nevers, Miss Louisa Pyne, After a short, but effectually composed, symphony the curtain rises upon a very beautiful scene, an encampment of gipsies—the first act of the play being entirely omitted — when, after avery good chorus and pretty dance by the corps de ballet, Prince Gonzagues enters in search of Blanche de Nevers. Zillah, the Gipsy Queen, is told she is the missing lady, and then we have the sensation incident—the duel between Lagardere and the Hunchback, 2Eiop, and the departure of the parties to Paris. In this act there is a song for Zillah, "A Gipsy Queen am I," which Miss Hiles sang with great vivacity, and although it was but a very ordinary effort of musical composition, the audience vociferously applauded it, and of course it was repeated. Mr. Harrison's opening song is one of those which is invariably found in the first act of all operas produced under his management ; in this instance, it is " I'm as happy as a king." There is not much in it as a musical composition, although again the audience applauded it most lustily, and demanded its repe tition. To this demand, however, there was a strong oppo sition, but the dissentients were silenced by cries of " turn him out." The great feature of the act was a florid piece of vocalization by Miss Pyne, " Ever unwearily, singing so merrily," and a pretty duet, "Oh what boundless joy," sung by Miss Louisa Pyne and Miss Hiles. The composer evidently had taken great pains with these two composi tions, and as a natural result they were worthy the applause they elicited. The act closes with a well-scored unaccom panied quartette by Misses Pyne, Hiles, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Wiess, which is perhaps about one of the best things in the or era. The second act, in which it will be recollected LagardZre informs Blanche of his love for her, opens with rather a vulgar comic song by Mr. Rouse, " Oh what an unfortu nate humbug am I," and then comes that which we presume must be considered the tenor song of the opera, " Wilt thou think of me." We much question whether it will ever become a favourite, although there is here and there a momentary melody, but the opening notes of it are in fact neither more or less than the first bar or two of the piece of dance music known as " the Schottische." The accompaniment is pretty and telling, and of course it was encored, but whether, as a musical composition, it deserved that honour, is more than questionable. Miss Pyne's cabelleta, "As when a sun burst from the sky," is one of those peculiar compositions of Balfe which invariably evoke unanimous applause, and Miss Emma Heywood's contralto solo, " Time with reluctant step moves on," was given with a beautyof intonation and intense pathos tbat stamped it as one of the triumphs of the evening. The other incidents of the drama are worked up in the two succeeding acts of the opera, the most noticable musical compositions being a duo for Miss Pyne and Mr. Harrison, g; Must we part ;" a capital bacchanalian song for Mr, Weiss, "The Old Vine Tree ;" a chorus of soldiers, "A cup to soldiers' trade fill high," and the finale for the prima donna, although the latter was not h ear d t o advan tage, owing to the noise and confusion created by the de parting portion of the audience. This, however, must for the future be provided against, as at present the opera is much too long, and no better proof of that assertion is wanted than the anxiety of the audience to quit t h e theatre before the curtain had descended. The opera, taken as a whole, will not add another laurel to the wreath Mr. Balfe already possesses ; but at the same time it is but just to remark it will not diminish his reputation as a composer. It is, speaking from first im pressions, wanting in that sustained melody which marks the greater part of Mr. Balfe's former productions. As far as acting is concerned, nothing could be better. Indeed, Mr. Harrison as the gallant Lagardire, and the Hunchback JEsop was astonishingly good—in fact, it quite took the audience by surprise, and from first to last he drew down the most unbounded applause, by the pathos and anima tion he threw into the part. Miss Pyne seemed to like the part of Blanche, while the other performers, Miss Emma Heywood more especially, acquitted themselves with the utmost excellence. The st a lls" were frequent; and after the d ro p scene descen d e d at the first act , Mr. Harrison, Miss Pyne, M r . Weiss, and Mr, Cooke had to bow their thanks, Mr. Balfe had also to appear and personally acknowledge the applause of the audience. _ -- - The scenery, dresses, and appointments were magnifi cent. The scene of the illuminated gardens of the Regent, on the occasion of the masque ball, was beautiful beyond description. The house was crowded in every part, and from first to last the reception of the opera by the audience was most enthusiastic and highly satisfactory. ST, JAMES'S HALL, Church's Historical Panorama of the Civil War in America is now being exhibited here with great effect. The immensity of the painting may be surmised, when the reader is informed that it occupies nearly two hours in its display. The panorama commences with the first march of the Federal troops down the Broadway, in the United States, and capitally illustrates the immense excitement that such a proceeding must have awakened. We then have vivid representations of the different engagements that have taken place between the Northern and Southern armies, all which are depicted with consummate skill. The disastrous retreat at Bull Run, the Federal fleet in a storm off Capo Hatteras, Harper's Ferry, scenes in the seven days' battle before Richmond, the battle of Fredericksburg, the siege of Vicksburg, and the bombardment of Fort Sumter and Charleston are all remarkably well painted, while the two or three scenes exhibited, not of the terrible nature of the foregoing—a Southern planter's house with c3tton fields and a foraging party in a farm yard —are very excellent specimens of scenic art. There is a short but very excellent description of each of the scenes represented given by Mr. Fenno, the lecturer, and some very excellent musical ac companiments, which, combined, produce a very entertain• ing, and, at the present time, more than ordinarily interest ing exhibition.

Thic following are the latest despatches from the Bostot' papers : WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. From information which reached Washington to-night, the messenger leaving th e A rmy of the P o t o mac at 10 o'clock this morning, it appear s th at General Buford yesterday reached a point two miles north. of Culpepper, driving rebel cavalry and in fantry before him. Gene.ral Lee's head-quarters on Saturday night were at Brandy Station on the Rappahannock. This relines the belief current in some quarters that ne had gone south to advise with Bragg. Our army lay in line of battle all day yesterday, bat Lee declined to accept the issue of an engage- meat. Snow fell yesterday afternoon along the line of mountains, covering the peaks of tho Blue Ridge. General Kilpatrick occupied Pony Mountain yes terday afternoon. Last night he discovered a large area of camp fires south of the Rapidan, between Racoon ford and Rapidan station on the railroad. No force of magnitude were discovered in and around Culpepper. This leads to the inference that Lee has declined to risk a general engagement in the open field, and withdrawn his forces, except a small guard, to his former strong post. All the evidence tends to prove that Gen. Meade bas out-generated Lee, by leading him to believe it was his intention to move down the neck opposite to Fredericksburg, thus inducing the latter to weaken his front here to strengthen that point. A gentleman who arrived here to-uight says our line of battle crossed the Orange and Alexandria Railroad to a point where it is supposed Lee has a full force on our front. THE CONGRESS. An Allegory about Certain Very Queer Fishes. By P********** C*****. We would here venture, ourselves, to r, by way of pre liminary, the following Key to the Alle offe gory :- 1. The Lake—Europe. 2. Pike—France. 3. Trout—England. 4. lench—Germany. 5. .Dace—Poland. 6. Perch—Russia. 7. Diet of Worms —Revolutionary Government at War- saw. 8. Roach—Nice and Savoy. 9. Treaty of Reeds—Treaty of Vienna. 19. The taste of a hook—The Castle of Ham. 11. :the Carp—lhe Critic (not, of course, a mere carping critic) among the Diplomatists. 12. The Gudgeons—The " whole boiling" in this proposed " pretty kettle of fish." (From the Timei.) I know a LAKE, (1) where each genus of fishes Has its own proper region apart. The PIKE (2) who wants plenty of room for his dishes Favours views of reform for the chart. The TROUT (3) has his haunts under oaks deeply rooted, Where the lake overflows in the stream, Mid weeds to his nature Teutonic well-suited, The slow TENCH (4) spends his days in a dream. The Pike in the centre commands a dominion Where his tail, when he gives it a swish, Conveys to the surface of public opinion Every ide'e he forms upon fish, A region of old was assigned to the Daces, (5) But I find by historic research, That three stronger fish push'd them out of their places, And the chief of the three was the PERCH. (6) The Perch yowl the outcasts his special protection, And enjoin'd them to swim by his side, But ne'er in the warmth of a Perch's affection Has a Dace yet been found to confide. The Daces rebelled in their own ancient water, And proclaim'd their own DIET OF WORMS ; (7) The Perch ate them up with a promise that later Re would eat them on friendlier terms. So vexed is the lake by these two finny races That the public attention it draws, A Perch does not limit ambition to Daces, So his was no popular cause. The Trout was a keen and courageous official, Evei ready to rise at a fly, And wont to pass judgment, deemed extrajudicial, How Fishes should deal with their fry. That Trout was much dreaded by fishes the boldest, For a property strange he possest, He could send such a shook into water the coldest, As to make it too hot for the rest. Quoth he, "Since the Perch has no awe of Jove's thunder, I myself will his conscience affright, All tyrants shall learn how a Perch will knock under To a Trout that's accustomed-to write !" In a solemn despatch fall of menace and moral, Then the Trout call'd the Parch a bad lot ; And declared that he enter'd the lists of that quarrel With the sternest resolve to fight not. Siuce Europe was saved from the Moor by Charles Martel, Thought the Trout, "Nothing like my despatch 1" Said the Perch when he calmly considered the cartel, " That Trout will not come to the scratch." So, while on the Dace he continued his dinn6r, The Perch to their champion replied, And the critics agreed that the Trout was no winner, When to writing the Perch he defied. Meanwhile, the Grand Pike eyed the waters in trouble With a statesman's prophetic survey, For where'er on the surface there rose up a babble, There the Pike hail'd the sign of a prey. A very deep fibh, yet a very bold swimmer, Many snares for that Pike had been set, Heaven knows the contempt he had now for a trimmer, And how lightly ho broke through a net! Thought he, " To those Dace I've an old obligation Still the claim of the Perch is as strong For ate up a ROACH (8) with his full aP.10.6a6.°n, Which the Trout said that Grotius held wrong. "This quarrel affords me the happy occasion To demand a new map of the lake; Perhaps with the aid of a little persuasion, 'Tis an idde that fishes will take. Then burst on the waters this autograph letter, "Friends, events grow more urgent each day, It becomes me to alter this lake for the better, Let me fully express mon di'. " Whenever the limits of States have been shattered The big fishes have met to a rrands may have scattered ge How rights over sm all fish the floo They might with advantage exchange. "'Twas the TREATY OF REEDS (9) that adjusted our nations, But who now in that Treaty confides ? Can the peace of the lake rest its. fishy foundations On the reeds which are pricking our sides ? "I un f o ld, then, the plan which my tail by its switches Has hinted long since to the wiss. Let the lake be romapped by a Congress of Fishes To be held in the place I advise. "I have not always lived in this lake like the Tenches ; I liave starved upon frogs in a brook ; I have learned how the school of adversity pinches' And expe rienced THE TASTE OF A ROOK (10 ) " i t i s not as mere Pike that I press for this meeting; 'Tie as Pikearistides the Just. A Pike whom a hook has made cautions in eating Is a Pike th at the Gud geons may trust. "Let an offer so frank put an end to Suspicion, 1J For I prove by the step which I t Altho' rumour has called m e a Pike a of e ambition, That I want but to settle the lake . It remains to agree wh ere we all should assemble, And at once I say, Come to my hole ; Let that part of the lake most accustomed to tremble Give a final repose to the whole; ~ This peace.,breathiug letter caused great consternation, Even the Tench grew alive to the case ; 'T was so h ar d to believe that a Pike's invitation Could be only to talk about Dace. This plan for rernapping the lake was a riddle Which suggested to fish but one guess : " As the Pike had his share of the lake in the middle He must me an th a t th e ends should be less. But still, as b ew ild erm ent breeds indecision , So the counsel in vogue was delay ' - Let the Pike state his scheme, on each spec ial provision, Every fish would have something to say. In short, most agreed with the Eel, that to wriggle Was the politic mode to escape ; Ask the Pike to explain —ask the Grayling to higgle, And thus slip thro' details from the scrape. Spoke the CARP (11) —"Let all fishes forgot their old grudges ; Do not question thviews of the Pike, Every hint that he is not the justest of judges, Serves co justify him in a strike. " Reply that you thank him for all his good wishes, That his zeal for your welfare you know; But —a _Pike to his hole asks a Congress of Fishes— ,D,Ey ARE GUDGEONS (12), INDEED, IF THEY Go."
