Did it not express the principles which had been iropresa.ed week by week open Lord Russell by imoyski, 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. Z imoyski, who was also then., 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 subscquent acts of the Government ? Why is this ? It is be cause the popul ar op i n i on o f G rea t B r it a i n h as no t 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 conviction s he has blazoned forth to the continent. I hope I have thus brought home to the humblest and th e p l ainest understanding the con viction that agitation has upon the Polish question this tendency, namely, 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 agitati on is. practicable and friendly to the Government which rules us, and is desired by those who wish for our support, ea will only remark at the outset th a t the Lea g of which I have the honour of being o ne of the e 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, after 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 in 1830, in 1846, 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, when 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 Czar 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 Czar 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 ;to 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.) On 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 to listen to those who will tell you that the Emperor of Russia 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 League, who, from the official posi tion he had occupied at the Hague, in Florence and Vienna, and his connection with the Foreign.. office, would have been able to have addressed y o u with greater authority on this point, and whose a ccession to the League has been of great advan tage to it. The noble lord having called upon Mr. Day to propose the first resolution, resumed his seat amid loud cheers. Mr. DAY proposed the first resolution That the devoted heroism of the Poles in their present and in their past struggles for the independence of their country entitles them to the admiration and support of Great Britain." Russia was an aggres sive Power; she had increased her possessions, and she 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 Eu rope would have felt before this the aggressive po licy of Russia. With regard to the speech of Earl Russell, he thought Lord P a l merston had pulled the string on him, and had decided that a neutral policy s h ou ld be adopted. (Hear, hear, and laughter. He trus ted that Great Britain was not losin ) ' British pluck, or that we were g its old going t o , pos ition in Europe We had 1. • give up tn e (H e ar, hear.) hitherto occupied. Mr. BURNEY seconded the resolution, and con tended that we ought to atrocities which were being put a co y th ß e u f s e s a i r a f i u n l accounts ofra u mi e t ia te d d t b o Poland, several aeeo meeting. If w e were which he read to the compelled we need not send a large army to appeal to arms Russia, but cou ld easily muzzle rmy to the interior of ing the Rus s i an ports the bear by blocked 'and when the bear wanted the muzzle tak en o f f, Mr. Popp making him pay all expenses. HENN ESSY said since he had had a seat in Parliament he had given this subject his earn est attention. This was the time when public opinion could the not be given forth in Parliament, a nd it was 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. First, there was the speech of Lord Russell, in which he declared that Russia had forfeited her sovereignty over Poland. After such a declaration from the Foreign Se cretary, he cared not what despatches had been ent. ( hear.) The n t h ere was the importantsentence in the Emperor' Napoleon's ad dress the other day, in which he also declared that Russia had forfeited her rights over Poland. The French Emperor spoke not only for France but for England and for the civilised world. (Loud cheers.) The third great event was the recall of the Grand Duke Constantine, who had been the author of the oppression of Poland. Russia had herself admitted into the position of a second-rate Power we must not allow our obligations to be tom to pieces by Russia. It we tolerated the crushing of Polan d a great di sgrace would befall us. (Fhar, hear.) People of England must forge the Goc:...rnment to Sal'e us from euell e diegra , .:e. ;;ear.) A Congress had been proposed, and upon that ques tion the Times newspaper, after vacillating until it found out the intention of the Government, ea.rie at last to the conclusion that we are to have one, "un der certain conditions." (11. , ar, hear, and laughter.) The Emperor told us that those who refused to attend the Congress would contribute to bring about a war. Now, we ought not to be afraid of war. We had spent hundreds of millions upon armaments since the Crimean war, and were our iron-plated frigates to be only used in saluting for(eigenars,oavned reigns on their arrival in thi s country ? n laughter.) W e must not fear war when our honour was assailed. (Loud cheers.) L'-)rd Russell had on a late occasion almost threatened war if our demands on Russia were rejected. France, finding the atrocities in Poland increasing, had asked us to join her in a war to compel Russia to behave with humanity to Poland, butymEtaotntgehlraa.vned(Lghooaandde hand in ( h H an is d se w s.) ith It F r w an a c s e o i u n r t a h u e t To do the Government justice, he believed if h Earl e Russell would take a much higher position thought he could rely upon the opinion in Poland o ofthisco w n a n ; try for support. The insure increasing, and so were the Russian casnea layatrocities.d Ladies were being flogged, and in one after being flogged, had next day given birth to a child, which died, and had lost her reason, her hus band having since been executed. Now, not only Russia, but England, was responsible for these atro cities. (Hear, hear.) Let us, therefore, join with France in declaring that Russia had forfeited her claim to Poland, and that the ancient kingdom of Poland must be restored to its proper position in Europe; and nothing less than this he was sure would meet the wishes of the people of this country and the rest of the civilised world. The resolution was carried unanimously. 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,andurgetsootnhteheinGsuorvgeernnt ment the j us ti ce of extending Poles the belligerent rights which they have asked, in concert with other Powers ready to concede them." Poland had been one of nations in Eur o e. the greatest P She had b een 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 com bi ned toge ther to crush and stamp her freedom in the dust. Mr. DONALD MiNICEEOLL 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 vot e 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-eased fri gates built in France; and although that vessel had same defects, she was worthy of every praise, as the first specimen of our iron ships. 'The Warrior, as well as thejßlack 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 were superior. The Rector 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 ve sse l could be armour - plated from end to end, would sail as many knots per hour, and a great saving would be effected to the public. These matt ers of detail did not escape the attention of those men who were now at the head of naval affairs. Naval construc tion is a peculiar art, resting upon abstruse branches of science, and involving principles and calculations with which non-professional men in office could not prudently interfere with in an arbitrary 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 new ideas the thi ng can be done° aytoaulnl,gaeni:dmwehneannidt has to be done it is attended by such pe.in and dis appointment to many and courage t o that it requires grea t ne rve u ndertake it, That had recently been proved in hi s own ca se , pene trating and pu • some extremely re -minded people having discovered that his appointm en t t o hi s present o ffi ce wa s a "disgraceful j o b , " He supposed these people d id think it disgraceful for a Board of A.dmiralty to appoint to an office involving much hard work, a nd grappling with difficult and pressing quest i ons , a man who has neither attained the age taken p ar t i n elections in what are called "Gore ara meat boroughs.' (Hi sses and cheers.) Mr. Reed ive M p w then di scusse d t h e quest i on o f t he CO i t roe a or th merits of ships b u ilt e ntirely of ' of 60, or of timber, and expressed an op i n ion in disaster to the favour of the latter class. The late Prince Consort proved in a I! ar kable , manner : h u ll of that wooden considerable the vast strength of the ship. It was true that she ex t en t of seven feet, as s water, but not to the extent ped even fi ve f ee t o f stated ; for if she had hiP water, every fire to her boilers must have been extinguished, w h ere as she ke pt u p steam through out.

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 Alchyreist 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 bore 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 from 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 next. The two last were Confusion and Ken nett. The winner was not sold. The Scurry Stakes of 5 soya each ; for 2-yr-olds, Sst ; 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 former having a slight lead, which he held to the Stand, where Grimshaw brought up Prescription, who got her head in front in the next fc , w strides, and won easily by a neck, a length separating the second and third ; a bad fourth.

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 favouriteand Stanton lying up,Odine, Donne Canne, and Bathilde bringing up the rear. 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 load 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 Canne 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 Canne, and Loiterer wide on their right. At the enclosure Black down swerved across the course, which for the moment al lowed Magnum Bottum to appear in front, but dying away directly after, the favourite was left in front to the 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 Bathilde sixth. Bally Edmond and Stanton were pulled up and did not pass the post.

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 Alchymist, 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.

Among those present were--The Rev. G. T. Duffield (rector of Bow), Messrs. G. Wilson, A. S. A. Pardon, Allordyce, Shiflett, T. ])itchburn, Fletcher, Armstrong, J. B. Day, Pope Hennessy, M.P., Edmond Beales (the president of the National League for the Independence of Poland, John It. Taylor (hon. secretary of the League), Napoleon F. Ziba, 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 domini on over Poland to obtain for the Poles the recogniti on o f belligerent lig erent 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, 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 class of those who, as travellers, have recently re sided in the oppressed and melancholy capital of Poland, 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 which that capital contains, this very question, How far British agitation was of service to their object ?" At that time many meetings had been held 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 opportunity of judging whether the efforts of the people in Great Britain were or were not favourable to their cause. After arguing the point as to how far ag itation 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 particularly upon the 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 that the persons most deeply interested in this question, who are at 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 appreciation of them and ask for our sym pathy; 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 loaders, 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 G reat 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, the agitation which we contemplate tends to create a spirit in this nation by which the Government of the country must be materially in -1 fluenced, by which the Government of the country, if unhappily disposed to truckle to St. Petersburg, would be arrested and restrained ; by which the Government of the country, if disposed to stand still, neutral, and indifferent, would be awakened to a sense of the responsibility i mposed upon it ; and by which, if the Government of the country, hi g h. 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 at 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, through out Europe and the world. In that speech the noble lord the Minister for Foreign Affairs did not scruple to say that the time was co me when the title of the Czar to Poland should be questioned, on the ground of the violation of the treaties under which he held its sovereignty. Th a t speech was read in Paris, in St. Petersburg, and at Warsaw. I was in Paris at the moment of its publication, and can therefore measure in some degree the in fluence it exercised in foreign parts. They said— " Great Britain is now about to act upon the rasa_ sure which the Foreign Secretary has delineated ; she is about to be true to the principle which Lord Russell has announced." Has that happenedSinee the speech at Blairg owrie, the Forei gn Secretary, in a despatch to St. Petersburg, deprecates all fur ther correspondence, and retreats as well as he can from the position in which his policy had placed him, but does not proclaim even the most faint echo of the manly words of Blairgowrie. (Loud cheers.) Does his despatch contain the slightest intimation that Great Britain will not renognise the right of St. Petersburg to the Luereignty of Poland, which she has forfeited ? Is there a word about it ? No ; and why ? Is it supposed that the speech at Blairgowrie was inadvertent and precipitate, I I that it was not long and maturely considered STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER ; Nov. l7.—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 en last week's rates would be accepted, and of 2 d 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 estimatesi.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, bat 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 to• day there is quite a gloomy feeling, with little inquiry, and no dis position to purchase, Manufacturers are willin g t o conce d e in price, but b u y ers seem qu ite disinclined t o : ma k e o ff ers. 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. Woal 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 no material change. Brown nets continue a very slow sale. At present rates manufacturers cannot see prime cost for these goods, and 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. RocirnALE, 1 6th.—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 h a d now to mention, he believed for the last time, to the Court the c:. se of Thomas Joseph George, and to renew the application h© had formerly made, on the authority of affidavits which were already on the files of the Court, that the di s p os iti ons of the prosecutrix be read be fore the grand jury, so that they the bill against him. He had pr might either find or ignore also in his hand a further affi davit of the sister of the prosecutrix, and as it was very plan short, perhaps the better 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 a nd say-1. That on Tuesday, the 27th October, I met Ro bert John Long (who has been keeping company with my " FebruaryMarylebone,informed s i s ter, the prosecutrix, since last), in Saville street, and ho then me that they were married, and produced to me hispl place marriage certificate, show ing that such marriage took in All Souls Church, in the parish of St. Marylebone, himon the 22d day of O c t o b er last. 2.

Mr, West, clerk to th e so li c i tor for the prosecution, however, saw it and read its contents, but Mr. George took care never to let him (Mr. Sleigh) ee s, it again. He, therefo re, now moved that the depositions t; the prosecutrix be read before the grand jury. The Assistant•Judge—The safer course will be to dis charge the recognisances of the witnesses, and then no risk whatever will be done. Therefore the recognisances of all the witnesses will be discharged. If I were to send the de positions of the prosecutrix to be read before the grand jury, and they were to ignore the bill, then there would be a n e nd of the matter for ever; but by taking this course the prose cution can be renewed at any ti ' no that it may be thought proper to do so. Mr. Sleigh—As your lordship pleases, The recognisances of the a itnesses were then discharged, and so the matter has for the present terminated.
