STAMPED ....sd. Did it not express the principles which had been impressed week by week upon Lord Russell by Gen. Zecaoyski, and which Lord Russell then conceived to be just and which he sought to give effect to ? (Loud cheers.) So much was that understood to be the fact abroad that, happening to be in Paris at the time the speech arrived, I know a gentleman who went to Gen. Zemoyshi, who was also there, and said—" I congratulate you upon the success of your speech at Blairgowrie," (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Therefore I would ask you to remark that this speech, which conveyed, so far as we could judge, the deliberate conviction of the Foreign office, was not followed up by results, and therefore there has been a discrepancy and incongruity be tween the speech at Blairgowrie and the subsequent acts of the Government ? Why is this ? It is be• cause the p o p u l ar op i n i on o f G rea t B r it a i n has not been expressed with that loudness and distinctness as to give even a cautious statesman the power and the liberty to act on the convictions he has formed —the convictions he has blazoned forth to the continent. I hope I have thus brought home to the humblest and the plainest understanding the con viction that agitation has upon the Polish question this tendency, na me l y , to give to the Government the freedom of doing that which it desires to do, but which it shrinks from doing until it has the indubi table stamp of public approbation. Having thus, I trust, convinced you that agitation is practicable and friendly to the Government which rules us, and is desired by those who wish for our supp ae o a rt, u f will only remark at the outset that the League of which I have the honour of being one o f the vice-presidents disclaims the accusation frequently urged against it—that of attempting to light up the flames of war in Europe. War is not our ob ject. It is true that in 1854 Great Britain, aft er due deliberation, resolved that it was advisable to go to war with Russia, not for the purpose of pro tecting herself or her allies, but Eastern Europe from Russian aggression. (Hear, hear,) Hence the Crimean war. It is true that the cause of that war is emblazoned upon the annals of the country, but no man with Balaklava in remembrance would wish to see that principle acted upon at present if it were possible to avoid it. The League does not aim at war, but it does wish to avert that collision be tween Russia and the Western Powers which must unavoidably be brought about should Poland be un happily exterminated. (Loud cheers.) But although they do not wish for war, they wish to contend that Polish independence is a British object, and that it is our duty to preserve it on the ground of its being our own interest to do so as well for the sake of humanity. In the age in which we live France and England go together. (Cheers.) So long as they do, Russia may not be considered in Western Europe as a formidable Power. (Hear, hear.) But it is impossible to count upon the life of the extra ordinary man who now rules France ; he is not immortal, and what politician could be so rash as to count upon the policy of France when deprived of its master mind ? (Loud cheers.) Who shall say that at all times France and England will be ready to present to St. Petersburg the firm front they did in 1854? Would that have occurred iu 1830, in 1816, or in 1848 ? Who, then, can always calculate upon the continuance of their alliance? I ask you, therefore, to consider a moment what the consequences will be if, eviler France and England are not united as at present, the question of Turkey should give rise to a disagreement between the Cabinets of London and St. Petersburg. If not to France, where are we turn to for an ally ? We must look in that event to the German Powers, namely, Austria and Prussia; and so long as the Cz.lr holds Poland in his hands, Austria and Prussia cannot be considered as free agents. If you look at the map of Europe you will see that Warsaw commands Berlin and Vienna—Berlin being only 20 hours' journey from Warsaw, and Vienna only 24. (Hear, hear.) You can conceive how the Czir influences the de termination of political questions at these places, and it explains the servile Russian part which Prussia has acted in this very matter. At the same time, it explains why Austria, wishing as she does to act with France and England, has been compelled to adopt a double-faced policy with regard to the Polish question, especially with regard Eto Galicia, to which reference has recently been made by the Galician members of the Austrian Reichsrath. (Hear. hear.) So long as the Czar holds Poland he holds Germany; so long as he holds the German Powers as his footstool without France as our ally, Great Britain is powerless to oppose Russia with Poland in its possession. But with Poland emanci pated this could never be the case. (Cheers.) This is a mere matter of geography and observation which the eye of the least instructed man can see at once. Let that extensive country stand between the Czar and Germany, and Western Europe is free from Russian aggression. (Lond cheers.) Oa these grounds the League is justified in saying that Polish independence is a British question. (Cheers.) .And now, having proved to you that this is a British question, you will be more prepared o listen ia to those who will tell you th at the Emperor of Russ has forfeited his title to be Sovereign of Poland. (Hear, hear.) I regret the absence on this occasion of my noble friend Lord Ilchester, another vice president of the Le a g ue, who, from the official posi tion he had occupied at the Hague, in Florence and Vi enna , and his connection with the Foreign office, would have been able to have addressed you with greater authority on this point, and whose accession to t League has been of great advan tage to it. The noble lord having called upon Mr. Day to p r opose the first resolution, resumed his seat amid loud cheers. Mr. DA propo sed the first resolution :—" That the hat the devoted heroism of the Poles in their present and in their p ast struggles for the independence of their country entitles them to the admiration and support of Great Britain." Russia was an aggres sive Power; sho had increased her possessions, and sho would, if unchecked, in time be enabled to en tirely disregard the West of Europe altogether, Had it not been for the Crimean war Western En. rope would have felt before this the aggressive 1 ' hicy of Russia . With regard to the s p ee ch of Earl Russe ll, he thought Lord Palmerston had pulled the s tring on him, and had decided that a neutral policy s h ou ld be adopted. (Hear , hear, and laughte r .) He trus t e d that Great Britain was not l os i ng its old British pluck, or that we were go i ng to give up the po sition in Europe we had hitherto occupied. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BURNEY seconded the resolution, and con tended that we ought to put an end to the fearful atrocities which were being committed by Russia in Poland, several a ccounts of which he read to the meeting. If we were compelled to appeal to arms we need not send a large army to the interior of Russia, but could easily muzzle the bear by blockad ing the Russian ports, and when the bear wanted the muzzle taken off, making him pay all expense s. Mr. POPE HENNESSY said since he had bad a seat in Parliament he had given this subject his earnest attention. This was the time when public opinion could not be given forth in Parliament, and it was the proper time for members of Parliament to as certain the opinions of the people whom they repre sented. (Hear, hear.) Now , what progress with regard to the Polish question had been made since the last public meeting. red First, there was the speech of Lord Russel l, in which he decla P over ol that and. Russia had forfeited her sovereignty After such a decla ration from the Foreign Se cretary, he cared not what ndes pa t c hes had been there was the ' sent.

A Congress had been proposed, and upon that goes- - tion the Times neayspaper, after vacillating until it found out the intention of the Government, came at last to the conclusion tL'at we are to hare one, "un der certain conditions." (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Emperor told us that those who refused to attend the Congress would contribute 10 bring about a war. Now, we ought not to be afraid of war. We had spent hundreds of millions noon armaments since the Crimean war, and were our it on-plated frigates to be only used in saluting foreign sove reigns on their arrival in this country I' (Ile ir, and laughter.) We must not fear war whe:i our honour was assailed. (Loud cheers.) Lord Russell had on a late occasion almost threatened war if' our demands on Russia were rejected.

Mr. EDMOND BEALES moved the second resolu tion—" That this meeting cordially approves of the objects of the National League for Promoting the Independence of Poland, and urges on the Govern ment the justice of extending to the insurgent Poles the belligerent rights which they have asked, in concert with other Powers ready to concede them." Poland had been one of the greatest nations in Europe. She had been the home and refuge of the persecuted. She had been the nurse of the arts and sciences, and her chief fault was one which ought to endear her to English men—a too great love of liberty. Her free insti tutions roused the fear and hate of the despotic Powers on her threshold, and they combined toge ther to crush and stamp her freedom in the dust. Mr. DONALD MVICHOLL seconded the resolu tion, and M. NAPOLEON ZABA supported it. The resolution having been carried unanimously, the meeting terminated at a late hour with a vote of thanks to the chairman. IRON SHIPS OF WAR. Last night, at eight o'clock, a numerous audience attended at the Hall of the Literary Institution, Royal-hill, Greenwich, to hear a lecture delivered by Mr. E. J. Reed, chief constructor of the royal navy, on the subject of " Ships of War." After briefly referring to early naval architecture, the lecturer observed that the Americans were the first to intro duce armour-plated vessels, and in 1843 Mr. Stevens constructed an iron-cased floating battery for that Government. He believed the idea of constructing such war vessels in Europe was not derived from America, but rather from the active mind of the French Emperor. The Warrior was undoubtedly the bold and truly British answer to the iron-cased fri gates bui tin France ; and although that vessel had some defects, she was worthy of every praise, as the first specimen of our iron ships. The Warrior, as well as the,l3lack Prince were completely iron plated, and thus a portion of the vessel was exposed. The Defence and the Resistance were built on the same principle, but they were not so much plated, and therefore their seagoing qualities weze superior. The Hector and the Valiant were plated right round in the region of the guns, and were of immense strength. After describing the Minotaur, Agincourt, Northumberland, and other iron ships in progress, Mr. Reed contended that the Warrior and ships of her class were too long, and he firmly believed that the same rate of speed could be obtained from a much shorter vessel. The attention of the Admiralty had been much devoted to this question ; and he could assure them that no more iron ships for the royal navy would be laid down of such a length as 400 feet. Whilst one of these long vessels had a large portion at each extremity exposed, a shorter vessel could be armour - plat ed from end to end , would sail as many knots per h our, a nd a great saving would affairs. f ra those os Navale construc tion be effected to the public. These matters of det a il ndoidwnaott theescape a thehoed of n a attentionvalffamen who were i s a peculiar art, resting upon b a struse branches of science, and involving principles and calculations with which non-professional men • in office could not prudently interfere with in an b . ar itrary manner, and hence the practice of the profession was to run in grooves, out of which it was most difficult to re move even in times of the greatest emergency. In fact it was only by a violent wrench—by giving sudden and unexpected scope to younger men and new ideas the thing can be done at all, and when it has to be done it is attended by such pain and dis appointment to many that it and courage to undertake it. That had recently been proved in his own case, some extremely pene trating and pure-minded people having discovered that his appointment to his present office was a "disgraceful job." He supposed these people did think it disgraceful for a Board of Admiralty to appoint to an office involving much hard work, and grappling with difficult and pressing questions, a man Who has n e ither attained the age of 60, or taken part i n e l ec ti ons i n w hat are called "Govern mentr.ed boroughs." (Hisses and cheers.) M ar ße ative then discussed the question of the com or p with a merits of ships built entirely of iron o inion in backing of timber, and expressed p disaster to the favour of the latter class. The late ar k a ble manner Prince Consort proved in srem hull of that the vast strength of t he woodenspe ship. It was true tha t she t hip of seven considerable feet, us water, but not to thehi exedten e ven five feet of stated ; for if she hads PP water, must have been P o ilers wa t er , every fire to her kept up steam extinguished, w hereas she through., sent to Kingston to in out. An officer who was I after she came to grief reported-- spect the vessel " From one en d of the ship t o t he oth er not one b o l t head had b een disturbed." It scarcely ever that an ordinary wooded ship, happened Without an iron plate upon her, after encountering a Channel storm, returned to port with such trifling damage as that done to the Prince 'onsort. He could not fully enter into the details of the improvements already effected, and now under consideration, with regard to the construction of iron ships, but one of the chief of these was the introduction of the " un sinkable principle," invented by Mr. Langley, of Deptford. That system consisted in • dividing the iron hull into numerous water ti • ght and fire-proof compartments, by means of the decks themselves, and preserving the integrity of th ese compartmen t s by affording an entrance to them through the hatch ways only. He could state with the utmost confi dence that the Ad • miralty was la ow building a cor vette, from which • the swiftest iron vessel now afloat could not hope to escape, and which would be armed in a most ff e ective manner. The Admiralty had to contend with incessant hostile criticism, proceeding from persons free from responsibility. The general effect of the bullock -waggon has been humorously compared by Captain Knight (in his re cently published Diary of Travels in Cashmere and Thibet) to " being run away with in a dust-cart through Fcnchurcb.- htreet, the gas-pipes being up at the time." THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1863. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY RACES.—TUESDAY. There was a larger attendance on this, the Cup day, and the weather was still everything that could be wished. It was a mere canter for Caroline, the Irish filly who won the Carnival Nursery yesterday, in the opening race to-day, the Salopian Stakes, Alpheus being only found to oppose her. The Cup promised a good race, two or three horses meeting on pretty equal terms, and, despite the idea that Captain Crow was " turned loose," gave ample space and verge for speculation. But at 10 minutes past 1 o'clock (10 minutes before the hour fixed for the race) the aforesaid horse was " scratched," while a previous declaration or forfeit by Lord Stamford on the part of Barchettina re duced the field to comparatively small dimensions. Black down and Magnum Bonum were the two favourities, the latter having the call at 2 to 1, and to these two the race appeared at one time to be confined, but Blackdown swerving at the half•distance, Donne Canne, an outsider scarcely mentioned in the betting came with a rush in the last few strides, and won a good race by half a length. The Handicap Plate was made a certainty for Farfalla, and although Alchymist had the best of the start, and came away with a commanding lead, he shut up when collared, and the Duke of Beaufort's mare born his colours past the chair by a neck. Old Juliet, pulling double, galloped away from Spicebox in the next race, and Knave of Trumps cut down his opponents in the Stewards' Cup with ease, the favourite Somersault never being in the race. A Handicap Sweepstakes for all ages, which was carried off by Mr. Naylor's Fravola, concluded a very fair day's sport.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Vigil, sto 2 agst Southport, and 6 to 1 agst any other. Through the breaking away of Sapper and Telscombe they were retained some short time at the post. When Mr Marshall lowered his flag the two favourites separated them selves fro►u the ruck, and came on with the running, South port having a slight advantage, which he retained to the end, and won cleverly by three-quarters of a length, Vigil defeating Sapper, who ran through the pulling-up horses, by a length; Peru was a bad fourth, Rosa Lee fifth, and Telscombe nest. The two last were Confusion and Ken nett. The winner was not sold. The Scurry Stakes of 5 soya each ; for 2-yr-olds, Bst ; 3-yr olds, 9st; winners extra, with certain allowances; the winner to be sold for £lOO.

After several failures, in one of which Rest ran to the Stand, Neilgherry, with Prescription and Rest in close at tendance, came away in advance, the formor having a slight lead, which he held to the Stand, where Grimshaw brought up Prescription, who got her head in front in the next few strides, and won easily by a neck, a length separating the second and third ; a bad fourth. The Shrewsbury Cup (Handicap), value 300 sovs, added to a sweepstakes of 20 sovs each, 10 ft; second to save his stake; winners extra. About two miles. Mr Barber's Donno Canne, 4 yrs, 6st 81b (E.

The favourite was the first away in the actual start, but was immediately headed by Loiterer, the pair in turn being passed as they rounded the turn by Bally Edmond, who made the running at his best pace, for the purpose of serving his stable companion, Loiterer, going on second,Magnum Bonum third,with the favourite and Stanton lying up,Odine, Donne Canne, and Bathilde bringing up the roar. They ran in these positions to half-way down the far side, where Loiterer went up to the leader, the pair racing together for the lead to the lower turn, where Bally Edmond again drew in advance, Loiterer at the same time being joined by Mag num Bonum and the favourite, who came on in attendance upon the leader, closely followed by Odine and Donne Canne, in which order they reached the Stand, passing which Odine quitted her horses and took a decided lead, which she held round the top turn, where she was headed by Magnum Bonum and Blackdown, who went on side by side, Odine lying next, Loiterer and Mr. Barber's colt close up. Bally Edmond at the same time dropped into the rear, followed in a few strides further by Stanton. Little or no alteration occurred in the order of running until they neared the lower turn on the far side, when Bathilde, who had been lying off, gradually crept up, and coming along the bottom she was third, having Odine and Donne Comm as her immediate followers to the entrance of the straight, where Bathilde dropped back. The favourite at the same time took a slight lead of Mr Fleming's colt, who were followed in succession by Odine, Donne Canoe, and Loiterer wide on their right. At the enclosure Black down swerved across the course, which for the moment al lowed Magnum Bonum to appear in front, but dying away direct:y after, the favourite was left in front to tho stand, where Donne Canne came up on the extreme right, and won very cleverly by half a length ; a like distance separat ing the second and third; two lengths between the third and fourth. Loiterer was fifth, and Bathildo sixth. Bally Edmond and Stanton were pulled up and did not pass the post.

The latter cut out the work to the distance, where she gave way, leaving Faufreluche with the lead, but who in a few strides further was headed by Corsica, who won easily by a neck, three lengths between the second and third. The winner was bought in for 130 guineas, and Fanfreluche was claimed for Prince Soltykoff. Handicap Plate of 50 sous for 2-yr. olds and upwards ; a winner after the declaration of the weights to carry 71b extra; any number of horses belonging to the same owner may Ptart for this race.

Alchymist and Reindeer repeatedly broke away and de layed the start for some considerable time. No sooner had the signal been lowered than Pretty Girl filly went to the front, but before they had proceeded 100 yards she was headed by Alchyraist, the pair racing together several lengths in advance of Reindeer, who with Trafalgar and Redskin composed their immediate followers, the field ex hibiting a widespread appearance as they came along the bottom. Alchymist retained his pride of place to the stand, where the Pretty Girl filly was done with, followed in the next stride by Mr. Payne's colt, which left the race with Farfalla, Redskin, and Reindeer, the former getting up in the last stride, and winning cleverly by a neck, a bad third, the Pretty Girl filly was fourth, Miss Emma fifth, and Al chymist next.

Lord Campbell on the Polish Question, A public meeting, called under the auspices of the National League for the independence of Poland, was held last evening at the Beaumont Institution, Mile-end, at half -past 7 o'clock—Lord Campbell in the chair. Among those present were—The Rev. G. T. Duffield (rector of Bow), Messrs. G. Wilson, A. S. A. Pardon, Allardyce, Shillett, T. Ditchburn, Fletcher, Armstrong, J. B. Day, Pope Hennessy, M.P., Edmond Beales (the president of the National League for the Independence of Poland, John R. Taylor (hon. secretary of the League), Napoleon F. Z aba, I. T. Lach Szyrma, Geo. Burney, and others. The objects of the League are to give to the Poles all the moral and pecuniary aid we lawfully can in support of their righteous cause; to urge on Par liament and the Government the duty of no longer recognising any claim by Russia to dominion over Poland ; to obtain for the Poles the recognition of belligerent rights, and to insist on the withdrawal, if necessary for these purposes, of our ambassador from St. Petersburg. The Hon. Secretary read letters of apology from Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Hanbury, jun., Mr. Butler, M.P., Mr. George Thompson, Mr. S. Morley, and Sir T. F. Buxton. Lord CAMPBELL, who, on rising to address the Meeting, was much cheered, said—Ladies and gen tlemen of the Tower Hamlets, it was not my in tention to occupy the chair to-night. I meant only to present a resolution to your notice, but having been instructed by the promoters of the meeting, and advised to occupy the chair, I did not hesitate for a moment at occupying that position in which, according to their judgment, I could be most useful to the objects of the meeting. (Hear, hear.) It is not too much to say that deep interest in Poland and grave commiseration for her wrongs, and a strong and genuine desire for her deliverance, now pervades and influences all classes of society in this country. (Hear, hear.) But if these feelings are so general, _ _ they must—and I think you will agree with me— much more forcibly prevail in that class to which at the present moment I happen to belong, viz., the c lass of those who, as travellers, have recently re sided in the oppressed and melancholy capital of P o l a nd, and who, from that terrific scene, have brought away impressions which they are not able to forget nor altogether adequately to communicate. I will not dwell on that depressing theme, but will point out to you the practical occasion of this meet ing. At the time to which I have ventured to al lude, while residing for about a month at Warsaw, I took the opportunity —as any other member of either house of the Legislature in myposition would have done—of submitting to some of the most en- lightened, temperate, and well-conducted patriots , w hich that capital contains, this very question, " How far British agitation was of service to their o bject ?" At that time many meet i ngs ha d b een h e ld and much popular opinion had been expressed, and those leading in 'Warsaw this great insurgent move ment for the freedom of their country had had ample whether the efforts of the o pportunity of judging people in Great Britain were or were not favourable to their cause. Aft er ar guing the point as to how far , ag it a tion in this country would assist them and stating what could be said for and against it, and pointing out its advantages and its disadvantages, dwelling par ticularly upon th e latter, the reply which I received from them was this, " Come what may, we would rather have a British agitation to support us in the winter, no matter what risk it in volves." lam not, therefore, going beyond the limits of discretion in announcing to you th a t th e persons m ost deeply intere sted in thi s question, w h o are a t this moment contending for life, liberty ; and honour, who have everything dear to them at stake, who sleep, who go out, who live in the constant dread of execution, of confiscation, and of imprisonment—it is not too much for me to say that these parties, so deeply interested in arriving at a just conclu sion upon the question, do desire a continuation of our apprecialion of them and ask for our sync • paths; and although the agitation may not add another firelock to their arms cr another soldier to their levies, still it will have a strong prac tical and appreciable influence upon the issue of the fatal struggle in which they find themselves engaged. (Hear, hear.) And if that is so found— if these laaders, not of the more but of the less re volutionary element in Warsaw, to some extent in voke your aid, and through the very medium by which that aid is presented, through such a meeting as this, then I ask, can it be refused--can our hu manity deny to own the popular opinion of Great Britain so invoked by those who are in a position to judge how far it will be useful to them, so long as our conviction impels, and our free institutions give us power to give them what they ask? But no doubt the League who are responsible for our as sembling here to-night will be required to point out what particular results that agitation, so much de sired by the Polish patriots, may produce, and that question I will, with your permission, answer. In the first place, th e agitation which we contemplate tends to create a spirit in this nation by which the Government of the country must be materially in fluenced, by which the Government of the country, if unhappily disposed to truckle to St. P e t ers b urg, wo uld be arrested a nd res t r ained ; by which the Government of the country, if disposed to stand still, neutral, and indifferent, would be awakened to a sense of the responsibility imposed upon it ; and by which, if the Government of the country, high minded,and awakened to a sense of its responsibility, was disposed to act upon that sense would be en abled to act upon their convictions with a well founded confidence in public support and public approbation. (Hear, hear.) There were two or three practical points which the Polish Government believe will be the result of this agitation. They have asked the British Government, with those of France and Austria, to concede to them belligerent rights. (Loud cheers.) They have asked those so called friendly Powers to deny the title of the Czar to the sovereignty of Poland after the violation of those treaties by which alone that sovereignty is held. (Hear.) Here are two distinct, well-known, intel ligible positions urged upon the British Government on the part of Poland. Does any one suppose that, without the loudly and frequently expressed opinions of the people of this country, both or either of the demands will be conceded, however anxious the Government may be to grant them. (Hear, hear.) Agitation may possibly fail in reaching these results, but these results will never be arrived a t without it. (Hear, hear.) If you want any proof of this position I will give it you in a minute. It is not many weeks since Earl Russell addressed, through the remote Scotch village of Blairgowrie, a speech which was meant to echo, as it did, though out Europe Europe and the world.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 1 7.—There is a slight improvement in the tone of the yarn market, and rather more disposition is reported on the part of merchants to operate, prices being at about ld per lb decline on India qualities. Home trade yarns are rather flat, and scarcely any offer had been made to test prices. In the absence of such offers it may be stated that a decline of about Id per lb on last week's rates would be accepted, and of 20 per lb from the highest price attain able some weeks ago. There is an accumulation of orders in the market, which would be executed if spinners would give way sufficiently. Buyers are disposed to wait over Thursday to see if the rate of discounts is advanced by the bank, in the absence of more tempting concessions by pro ducers. Sellers contend that it is the adverse condition o the money market rather than the exaggerated estimateso.f forthcoming cotton that depresses the market. The later accounts from Bombay and Calcutta are said to have been more encouraging to shippers of yarn to India than any they have received for a long time past, and, but for the high rates of discounts on India (six months') bills, it is supposed that merchants would be sending further supplies. From the lightness of stocks and the heavy contracts in the hands of spinners the yarn market is believed to be in a very healthy position, notwithstanding its present depression• The cloth market is exceedingly flat, and we have had one of the dullest markets known for a long time past. In some quarters we hear a better account of it; but this is the general opinion. Manufacturers have in some cases shown rather an anxiety to sell, and have been solicitous for offers even at rather lower prices. Buyers, however, seem altoge ther indisposed to operate. The difficulty in the way of busi ness does not appear to be so much a question of price as the absence of purchasers. Prices, on the whole, where business has been effected, have been lower than last week, but no large purchases have been made, and very little in quiry has been experienced, except for some of the wider makes of shirtings, such as 45 and 49-inch shirtings, for which a demand has sprung up in consequence of the better advices lately to hand from Madras. The demand from the home trade is quite as flat as that for cloths suited for export. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" Our market has been quiet since Tuesday last, and today there is quite a gloomy feeling, w ith little inquiry, and no dis position to purchase. Manufacturers are willing to concede in price, but buyers seem quite disinclined to ,make offers. There is still some inquiry for the wider sorts of shirtings ; but, as in most cases quick delivery is required, few makers are in a position to take orders." LEEDS, 17th.—There was a small attendance of buyers in the cloth-halls this morning, and purchases were made spa ringly. This being an intermediate period between the winter and the opening of the spring trade, sales have been confined to a few transactions in heavy goods, tweeds, and ordinary black cloths. The attendance of manufacturers was not very large, and they were firm in their demands, so that prices are firmly maintained. In a few instances mills are not quite so busy as they were a month ago, but upon the whole the manufacturing operatives are well employed. Wool keepers very firm in price, and the quotations are higher than they were last month. The flax trade keeps brisk. and flax, yarn, thread, and linen all keep up in price. NOTTINGHAM, 17th.--There was a good attendance of merchants and manufacturers at the Exchange-hall to day. There was a slight giving way in some descriptions of lace yarns, but on the whole prices were unaltered. The demand for hosiery yarns was also quiet. In silks there was ao material change. Browa nets continue a very slow sale. At present rates manufacturers cannot see prime cost for these goods, hnd it is feared that many machines engaged in making them will have to stand. In Germany, France, and Italy, the high prices operate very much against trade. During:the last few days there has been a decidedly better tone in the hosiery business. ROCHDALE, 16 th.—Considering the attendance at to day's market, which was not a full average, the amount of business done was tolerably good. Goods purchaseable at the lowest prices were most generally dealt in, but the sales of all sorts were quite equal to a good average. The maximum prices of Yorkshire goods were obstinately maintained, but it does not appear to have the least effect at present in pre venting a good run of business. Our warehouse trade has been rather more languid since our last report, and the supplies of fine dyed and fancy goods, which have been going on for several weeks past, seem to have glutted the country trade. There is, however, still a brisk demand for middle and low-priced flannels. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov, 17, (Before the Assistant-Judge.) THE CASE OF THOMAS JOSEPH GEORGE, A SOLICITOR. At the sitting of the Court this matter was again brought forward. Mr, Sleigh, instructed by the Associate Institution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, said he had now to mention, he believed for the last time, to the Court the c se of Thomas Joseph George, and to renew the application he had formerly made, on the authority of affidavits which were already on the files of the Court, that the dispositions of the prosecutrix be read be fore the grand jury, so that they might either find or ignore the bill against him. He had also in his hand a further affi davit of the sister of the prosecutrix, and as it was very short, perhaps the better plan would be to read it to the Court at once. It was as follows : "I, Barbara Leech, wife of George Leech, of No. 2, Ogle street, Marylebone, in the county of Middlesex, make oath and say-1. That on Tuesday, the 27th October, I met Ro bert John Long (who has been keeping company with my sister, the prosecutrix, since February last), in Saville street, Marylebone, and he then informed me that they were married, and produced to me his marriage certificate, show ing that such marriage took place in All Souls Church, in the parish of St. Marylebone, on the 22d day of October last. 2. That I then spoke to him of this prosecution, and told him that I should have to appear again at the Middlesex Sessions on the following Monday, to which he replied that I might go, but she (meaning the prosecutrix) would not, as he did not intend to let her prosecute, as they were going to New Zealand. I then told him I was aware she had taken £75 to compromise the matter, to which he replied that he supposed I knew all about that now. I then spoke to him of a debt due to me from my sister, and he said that they w ould give me what th ey had left after paying - their passage, and he then gave me a sovereign on account. 3. That the said Robert John Long did not inform me where my said sister was then residing. 4, That on Saturday, the 14th inst., I saw Mr. Long, the father of the said Robt. John Long, and told him that I came to inquire about his son, who had married my sister, to which he replied that he could not tell me where they were, as he had received a letter from them to say that they had left England. 5. 'lhat I have at the present time no knowledge as to where my said sister can be found; and from the above facts I be lieve that she has left England, and will not attend to give any evidence on behalf of this prosecution.—BAßßAßA LEECH.--Sworn in open court at the Sessions-house on Clerkenwell-green on this 17th day of November, 1863 . ,, While ho (Mr. Sleigh) was making his application last session to have the depositions read before the grand jury, the defendant, who was then in court, handed to him a counter affidavit, but he could not then examine it, and it was handed back to him. Mr. West, clerk to the solicitor for the prosecution, however, saw it and read its contents, but Mr. George took care never to let him (Mr. Sleigh) see it again. He, therefore, now moved that the depositions of the prosecutrix be read before the grand jury. The Assistant •Judge—The safer course will be to dis charge the recognisanceo of the witnesses, and then no risk whatever will he done. Therefore the recognisances of all the witnesses will be dicCharged. If I were to send the read before the grand jury, de bt) positions of the prosecutrix to and they were to ignore the bill, then there would be an end of the matter for ever ; but by takinp; this course the prose cution can be renewed at any time that it :"Y be thought proper to do EA Mr. Sleigh—As your lordship pimps, The reeognisances of the witnesses were then dischargen, and so the matter has for the present terminated.
