At M‘Minnville he destroyed 30 days' rations forßosencranz's entire army; also two trains of cars loaded for Chattanooga, and 15 miles of the railroad. He also destroyed the track of the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad for nearly 20 miles below Murfreesboro. His loss was three pieces of artillery, and about 1,000 men, mostly prisoners.

" My Government will lay before the Diet com munications respecting the course of the negotiation with regard to the Federal reform initiated by the Austrian Government. I have never failed to ac knowledge the faults of the existing Federal Con stitution, bat was unable to consider either the pre sent moment or the course adopted as opportune for its reconstruction. I shall deeply regret, should the fears expressed by me to any Confederates prove true, that the weakening of the confidence required by the Federal arrangements for the fulfilment of their objects, and the depreciation of the advantages afforded to the members of the Confederation in the present situation of Europe, be the only issue of attempts at reform which were undertaken with out a guarantee of success. This guarantee, however, can only attend those reforms which secure to the Prussian State its proper position in Germany by a just division of influence according to the relation of power and service. " To protect this good right of Prussia, and with it the power and safety of Germany, I consider to be my sacred duty. " Gentlemen,—We stand in an excited time, per. haps on the brink of a more excited future. I address, therefore, more urgently to you the request to under take the solution of our interior question with an earnest will to bring about an understanding. This object can only be attained if the power of the Royal Government, indispensable for the Prussian Monar chy, be maintained unimpaired, and if in the exor cise of your Constitutional rights I be supported by you in the fulfilment of my duties as King. " We have to labour in common for the honour and welfare of our fatherland. My endeavours are exclusively devoted to this task, and,with unshaken confidence in the loyalty of my people, I hope to perform it in sueh a manner as to be able to answer before God." The Speech of the King of Prussia. BERLIN, Nov. 3. The King opened the Session of both houses of the Prussian Diet in person, at one o'clock this afternoon, in the White Hall of the Royal Castle. His Majesty made the following speech : "Illustrious, noble, and beloved Gentlemen of both Houses of the Diet,—The Diet of the Monarchy in its last Session was closed before the termination of the deliberations on the Budget, and the Lower House was subsequently dissolved be cause a satisfactory result could not be expected from further discussion after the declaration ad dressed to me. " It is my urgent wish that an end should be put to the discussions which have arisen between my Government and a portion of the representatives of the country. My Royal duty enjoins upon me to maintain and protect the power and rights of my Crown, no less than the constitutional privileges of the representation of the country. Conflicting conceptions have been brought to bear upon the e - tent and limits of the uncontested right of the re- presentatives of the country to co-operate in the legal establishment of the Budget. In order to effect its settlement a bill will be presented to you, which is intended to regulate the rights of the Government in case the Budget does not obtain a legal establish ment, and to meet the fear that my Government in such a case intend to lay claim to an unlimited con trol over the State funds without regard to the right of the representatives of the country. "I have, however, to care not alone for the inte• rior welfare, but also for the exterior security of the State; and I must be able to reckon on your co operation in both respects. 't The new formation of the army arose from wants which could not be neglected if we were to keep pace with the increased armed force of our neigh bours, and to take into account the economical in terests of our own population by a more just distri bution of military service. gi The army is, after its reorganisation, as I already said in this place in the year 1860, the Prussian people in arms, and this, indeed, with greater truth than before, for while the strengthened organisation of the Line renders an alleviation possible for the elder classes of th e L an d we h r , t h e u nited streng th of the La n d we h r rema i ns unaltered.

In the Budget for the year 1864, which will also eoon be ready for your examination, the apparently existing deficit is, it is true, not yet removed. It nevertheless presents the agreeable proof that the revenu,; f without departing from sound principles in its estimate, might have been put down as considerably higher, and would offer the means to satisfy in all branches of the admini stration numerous and fresh require ments. "The estimate of the new :ground and house taxes has already been so far pr, )ceeded with that its conclusion may be looked for yard to with cer tainty at the beginning of the yeas • 1865.

The Right Hon. C. P, Villiers, UP., on the Policy of the Government. On Monday night Mr. Villiers and Mr. Weguelin ad dressed their constituents at a dinner given in Wolverhamp t2n to the retiring Mayor, Mr. 11. H. Fowler. The ex-Ma.yon gave " The health of her Majesty's Mi nisters," coupling the name of Mr. Villiers with the toast. Mr. VILLIERS, in responding to the toast, said, as one of the body who had the honour to be included in the toast they had just drunk, he begged, on his own part and that of his colleagues, to tender to them their best acknowledg ments for the compliment they had paid them. The loyalty of this country usually prompted people to do honour to those in the service of the Crown, and such toasts were commonly those of form ; but such was not the impression left upon his mind after hearing the remaiks which his friend had just made, and he felt bound personally to express himself grateful at the manner in which the toast had been received. (Hear.) A Minister was certainly not less sensible than another man to the good opinion of his neighbour. There was abundant reason for his being more so, for, if he had to state the result of his experience in that position, it would be that such was the trouble that it entailed, and such was the responsibility involved in it, that nothing could compensate for its possession but the hope that he might deserve, and should obtain, the good opinion of the country. (Hear, hear.) In this country men had the inclination, as well as the power, to express their opinions freely on public matters, and it was difficult to obtain gene • ral agreement on questions of policy, and still more to unite opinion in favour of any Government, When, therefore, the merits of a Ministry could be mentioned with favour in a promiscuous assembly like the present, he could not but feel gratified at the circumstance. He was told that at meetings of this kind politics were abjured, And certainly he would not be guilty of violating not only rule, but good taste, by saying anything that could provoke question or dissent. He hoped, however, that he might be allowed to express his satisfaction at observing upon frequent occasions the friendly tone in which men who were opposed to them, but:w ho were esteemed in the country, had alluded to the Government, and how often they had seen manifested at meetings of their opponents a disinclination to displace the present Government, or rather, perhaps, men of such large experience in public affairs as Lords Palmerston and Russell, ' and men of such extraordinary talent as Mr. Gladstone — (cheers)—and their old friend the present Lord Chancellor. (Hear.) If these things occurred he trusted he might re gard them as indicating no dissatisfaction with the policy of the Government, and as an indication that the govern ment had been administered in a national spirit. (cheers.) Great events had been passing in the world during the last four years, and the Government had been frequently re quired to decide upon their action with regard to them. He should not then enter into the precise course adopted by the Government upon such occasions, but he thought that he could point to some general results upon which there was no question, and which possibly might exercise some influence upon opinion. In the first place, peace during that period had been maintained—(cheers) —not at the ex pense of honour, for when the privilege of the British flag was assailed, as it was in a great question of maritime right by the Americans, it was by universal assent vindicated with spirit and success. (Cheers.) Again, in the face of the strongest inducements to take an opposite course, the pledge of neutrality to each contending party in the States of America has been strictly and honourably observed. (Hear, hear.) Again, duties on trade that might be written in millions have been removed, and yet the revenue had been left unimpaired—(cheers)—and lastly, there was then a state of commercial prosperity in the country that equalled, and presently would exceed, that extraordinary year which preceded the one in which the disasters of America occasioned such fearful disturbance in the great industry of this country. (Cheers.) The consideration of these circumstances might possibly account in some degree for what, for fear of giving offence, he would not call con tentment, but for that political calm to which his friend had just referred, and which certainly does pervade the country at present—(hear, hear)—aad which also might have influence upon the minds of men of experience and judgment in thinking that it would be unwise at this mo ment to excite those feelings which in party contentions for power are sure to be evoked. (Cheers.) He certainly would not himself say a word in disparagement of his political opponents. He knew that among them were meu of the highest talent and most benevolent views; and he believed that if they were not forward in seeking to displace the present Government, they were actuated by considerations for the best interests of the country. (Cheers.) He was not going to contend that the present state of the country was not also owing to other circumstances than those which he had mentioned, and over which neither the Government nor the Legislature had any control, and he would name among the most powerful agents in our immediate pros perity the bountiful harvest, the best that was remembered by our oldest men, which had been vouchsafed to us this year by Providence—(cheers)—and already were all the blessings that follow so directly from cheapness and abun dance of food, and which in former times used to be so elaborately estimated in this borough, being traced to the homes and comforts of the poor—(cheers)-tea circumstance which reminded him of the fortune that had befallen this country, if this crisis in a great industry was doomed to occur, that it had come upon us later instead of earlier, and not when we were committing the fatal error of relying upon one source alone for our food as well as for our cotton, and that we had not had at one time a dearth of food as well as of cotton ; for they knew that the cotton famine had actually occurred in the midst of three successive bad harvests—(hear, hear)—and could any man realise to him self what would have been the extent either of the misery or the confusion that would have followed if this misfor tune had formerly happened ? (Hear, hear.) But we see the fact that from our timely wisdom of drawing upon the re sources of the whole world for our food we had never for one instant lately been inconvenienced by dearness or scarcity. (Cheers.) Who had not admired the manly patience and resignation of the operatives in Lancashire under thir dis tress, and who that knew them doubted but that those feel ings were, above all things, strengthened and confirmed by the belief that their misery could in no way be traced to the bad laws or the bad government under which they were Hy ing ? (Cheers.) Ho thought the c,ndition of the country was matter of congratulatio n on another account—namely, that, as regarded matters of public policy, general opinion had never been in a sounder state than at present. Not withstanding the great increase of popular influence in our Governments`of late years, he never know the country more tenacious of its honour, or more ready to defend it. (Hear, hear.) Ha never knew the public better disposed to the in stitutions of the country, subject as they always were to be reformed. (Hear, hear.) Again, never was there a greater desire to promote the moral elevation of the people. He would also say that though at no time were the people of this country more averse to war, or more acutely alive to all its misery and mischief, yet at no time had they been so pre pared—should that sad exigency arrive—to make the sacri fices necessary for the defence of their shores, or to resist their enemies in any part of the world. (Loud cheers.) And he would say further, that though England appeared to be more wedded to her own form of government than ever, and had the moat perfect faith in liberal constitu tional Government being the best suited to all the civilised communities of the earth, or at least of the European race, yet that never was she more satisfied that it is no province of hers, and not the interest of any other country, that she should by active intervention effect any changes in the form of Government of other countries. (Cheers.) That prin ciple of non-intervention was, ho believed, regarded as sacred in this country, and, for the peace of the world, he aT v n e h r de i hd y sd b r believed rno of it a 1 : h : a g tdh h ca t anu t s o a endyb more ot s hr o ee rmukni known e v ar e Nyv r , s n a d l ei l sa y au . ps pe 0 ( i C onf h t m e t eher those, st ) 0, r t n r e tuamoge.gl meddle nmlgt n beveils(ilr allowed ig might for assistfree do another h u e t r if as o b n a e d p t h h t t h b e e a t ff a n a i t r a s l i of i f n a g n actively c t h t i e v r e I p y a a t p o e a , s e s i n s e t etoopolpepwreesrse itsto bad Go a people ve s people—(cheers) —and the result must be insecurity and discontent. All history, and one might say daily experience, tended to confirm this opinion, or to show that intervention ought to be deprecated, (Hear.) When the present Govern nent should fall and there was one of those sketches given of its actions, such as great men reoeive in the newspaper s , in justice they would have to b e commen d e d f or the , firm ness and determination with which they had resisted all inducements to interfere actively with the internal affairs of other countries. (Cheers.) Non-intervention was the great household principle of minding your own business applied to nations at large, where it was useful to be ob served. (Hear, and a laugh.) He only wished that forbear anee could be carried still further, and that nations would be somewhat more careful in the language they employed towards each other. (Hear.) It arose frequently from gnor I • ance, qu it e unwarrantable, and censures were often unreasonable in those who cast them. Ho thought hard measures had been dealt out both to the Federals and the Southerners in this country. The most bitter reproaches had been cast upon the President for desiring to retain the Union, and against the Southerners for desiring to retain what they called their property. Yet he could not help re. membering that for the first ten years that he Was in Parlia ment ono of the prominent questions of the day was the re peal of the union with Ireland. Yet he never remembered one English member who was for it, or one that would not have voted any means to maintain it, or any Minister who would not have been called a traitor who had thought of yielding it—(hear, hear)—and he did not know to what length they would not have gone to retain the Union had the eme. nent man who agitated that question so perseveringly not died. (hear, hear.) Again, for some years before he went into Parliament he remembered well the kind of lan guage that used to be held towards Lord Brougham and others who sought to emancipate the negroes that belengea to Lngli4inen, and lie doubted if it Was very different from that which the Southerners addressed to the Abolitionists now. (Hear, hear.) They, however, as Eng lishmen, would have been indignant if other nations had in terfered with their national disputes, and not allowed them to settle those questions as it seemed best to them to do, and which in fact they did, to their entire satisfaction. (Hear, hear.) Why, then, should the Americans not be allowed to settle their own affairs in the way they think right, without being so severely condemned by other people ? (Cheers.) After some further remarks on local affairs, Mr. Villiers concluded amid much cheering, Mr. 'WEGUELIN said it had been a general complaint that the discussions of the House of Commons had been fruitless of results ; that politics had become languid and the mem bers flaccid—(a laugh)—that, content with the leadership of one great man, they had shunted their responsibility and were content to look on from a siding at the express train of affairs which ra,n by them. (Laughter.) But there had been an absence of party strife, which state of things must be at tributed to other causes. General questions had of late years been settled by the triumph of those principles which had established civil and religious liberty, had extended self go vernment and placed it on a wider basis, and had regulated trade, currency, and finance. (Hear, hear.) But if party spirit had been dead in late years, they should all rejoice that the spirit of trade was reviving. (Hear, hear.) He be lieved the prevailing prosperity was sound, but they would let him, as an old merchant, address to them a few words of warning, because there were a few indications that this pros parity might be based on an even sounder foundation than that on which it now rested. He referred to the sudden drain of bullion and the consequent rise in the rate of interest. He thought it was not wise to neglect these indications. It might be that, after a time, owing to the measures taken by the Bank of England, the drain of bullion would cease and the coin which had been issued for the internal wants of the country return; but, as far as his experience went, a drain of bullion and a rise in the rate of interest were in dicative of something unsound in the state of trade and credit. It was therefore desirable that not only individuals, but especially banking corporations, should take the earliest possible opportunity of checking any undue extension of credit. (Hear, hear.) When they considered that the Bank of England Reserve, which now amounted to not more than six or seven millions, was practically the only unemployed capital in the country, and that it was the only source by which a balance of trade could be secured, they would see that there was every reason why they should be careful not to give stimulus to other than necessary trans• actions. He made these observations,not because he thought that a monetary crisis was at hand, but because they might tend to those healthy restrictions which, if generally ob served, would go far to ward off misfortunes of a serious nature, and place trade on a wholesome and permanent foot ing. The speaker concluded by acknowledging the toast of the " Members of the Borough," and by saying that h felt it a great honour to be the colleague of Mr. Villiers, with whom he always worked on terms of the utmost cor diality. (Hear, hear.) Naval and Military Intelligence, THE NAVY. The following will be the dimensions of the armour plated wooden frigate Lord Warden, the preparations for building which have been commenced beneath No. 7 shed at Chat ham dockyard, where she is to be constructed :—Length between the perpendiculars, 280 ft. ; length of keel for ton nage, 233 ft. llin.; extreme breadth, 591 t. 9111. ; breadth for tonnage, 58ft. 2iu.; depth in hold, 20ft. 91n. Unlike the other vessels of her class hitherto built, the Lord Warden will be provided with the same thickness of armour plating thaonghout, and the principle of furnishing our vessels of war with guns at the bow as well as at the brcadsides will be practically recognised for the first time by the Admiralty by the construction of a bow battery at the fore part of the Lord Warden. The stem will project some Bft. or Pit, below the water, which will render the Lord Warden more formidable as a ram than any of the existing iron and iron clad war ships. It does not appear to be finally settled whether the twin-screw principle is to be adopted in the Lord Warden, or whether she will be constructed to carry merely the ordi nary single screw, though from the marked success which has attended the introduction of the double screw in those ships in which it has been tried, it is probable that the Lord Warden will be constructed to carry two independent screw propellers, both working by means of separate engines. The sheds adjoining that under which the Lord Warden is to be laid down are being fitted with overhead tramways to facilitate the removal of the timber and iron plates. It is intended that the Lord Warden shall be completed and afloat within 13 months from the present time. By the extraordinary exertions of a numerous party of mechanics and labourers, who have been employed day and night on the work, the massive screw shaft for driving the propeller of the iron frigate Achilles, at Chatham dock yard, has been successfully fixed in its place without acci dent of any kind. The principal portion of the machinery will be fitted on board by Messrs. Penn and Son before the vessel is undocked. The four iron masts arrived at Chatham some time since from the establishment of Messrs, Finch and Co., Chepstow, by whom they were manufac tured. Her Majesty's gunboat Ranger, Commander Wratislaw, from the 'West Coast of Africa, was yesterday paid out of commission at Woolwich. In addition to their arrears of pay, the officers and crew received a large amount of prize money, the latter sum, including remittances, exceeding £7,000. The commander's share amounted to £309. The continuous service men have been granted 42 days' leave. Preparations were commenced on board yesterday for re moving the boilers from the Ranger, in order to commence the repairs without delay, W i th a v i e w to her being recom missioned as early as possible. Command Wratislaw served under the late Sir W. Peel in the Naval Brigade in India, and was honourably mentioned in the Admiralty despatch at the time of his commission as commander—viz., March, 1353. The re-appearance of scarlatina among the cadets of the Britannia at Dartmouth, after an entire cessation for up wards of a fortnight, has induced Capt. Powell to take the more prudent course of commencing the Christmas vacation at once, by granting leave to all the cadets excepting those whose course of instruction is just completed, and who 'will remain for the passing out examination. The Falcon, 17, screw corvette,Commander G. H. Parkin, made her official trial of speed at Portsmouth yesterday, under the superintendence of Captain A. Broadhead, com manding the reserve at the pCirt. The ship drew 14ft. Gin. of water forward, and 15ft. Bin, aft, on getting under weigh. The wind was moderate from S. - NT, but squally at times. Six runs were first made at the measured mile with the fol lowing consecutive results in knots;---B'o9o, 8 . 651, 8.911, 8.275, 9.350, 7.610, The mean speed of the six runs was 8 . 632 knots. At half boiler power four runs over the mile gave 5169, 5.042, 4 138, 6.081. The mean speed of the four runs was 5.148 knots. In testing the engines to ascertain the time in which they could be worked, in obedience to a transmitted order, they were stopped dead in 11 seconds from full speed, frana the time of moving the telegraph handle on the bridge ; started ahead in 13 seconds, and astern in 9 seconds. At the conclusion of the trial the Falcon again anchored at Spithead, but was ordered to leave last evening, or at daylight this morn i ng for Plymouth Sound and Australia. The Emerald, 35, screw steam frigate, 2,913 tons, 600- horse power, which was paid out of commission at Sheer ness on Saturday, is now being disraasted in the large basin of that dockyard, to take up her position in the third sion of the Sheerness steam reserve, The Tamar, 2, iron screw trooPship. 2,8 12 tons horse power, Capt. F. IL Stirling, will be re moved thi 500- s day from the basin of Sheerness dockyard to moorings in the harbour, and it is expected the artisans of the dockyard will , screw st eam mortar , have completed operations up on he r in a day or t wo, after which she will be taken fo r trial at the measured mil e o ff Maplin Sands. It is rumoured at Sheer ness that the Lords of the Admi raltyshi l p , intend 2o i. t 0 n p placing a , c 2 i n c log horseth steam mortar ship, 1, 090 to ns, 250 horse power, belonging to the 3d division of the Sh eerness steam re serve, in commis sion for foreign service as store ships.

At 330 p.m. the King Arthur left the harbour in tow of a Government steam-tug amid hearty cheers from the people on shore, who had assembled to have a last look at the regiment which had :been quartered among them, the band of the regiment on the poop playing " Auld Lang Syne." The ship anchored at Spithead for the night, and will commence her voyage for Madras at daylight. The Morayshire, Indiaman, Commander Mather, arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from Bombay and the Cape of Good Hope, with troops—time-expired men and invalids, under the command of Capt. C. F. Hunter, 72d Highlanders. She sailed from Bombay on the 2d July ; and the Cape of Good Hope on the Gth of Sept., bringing a small mall from the latter place from her Majesty's ship Himalaya. The passage home has been a somewhat lengthened one, the Morayshire having been detained off the Cape with strong westerly winds and lain at anchor at the Cape four days. Off the Western Islands very heavy northeast gales were ex perienced, after which westerly winds were brought up until sighting the Isle of Wight on Monday, when a strong north east gale drove the ship some distance to leeward off the island. The troops on board consist of CO time-expired men, 53 invalids, 1 discharged man, 6 women and 10 chil dren, 5 soldiers discharged with ignominy, 3 deserters, 13 convicts, including a late lieutenant of the Bengal Royal Artillery, sentenced to four years' penal servitude on convic tion of a charge of manslaughter of a native servant. Seven aoldiers died during the voyage, and also one lady passen ger. Lieut. Easton, 32d Regiment, and an assistant-surgeon, Indian Navy, also came home as passengers in the ship. THE ARMY. The battery of field artillery in command of Lieut.-Col. Barstow, ordered for service in New Zealand, went on board the scr e w transport Sea K in g y esterda y at W oolwich pier.

The vessel will sail this morning at 10 a.m. She will be followed in a few days by the Silver Ea gle, with war s t ores and 300 draughts of the line. The Scimitar, o f 2 , 5 00 tons, is is also loading for the same destination.

A dispatch from Chattanooga, Oct. 28th, states that Lookout Mountain was taken by the Federals, on the 28th, the Confederates falling back without resistance. The Federals occupied the South bank of the Tennessee River from Bridgeport to Chatta nooga, and the river and railroad were unobstructed. Yesterday morning Major-Gen.

On the 26th General Gilmore opened fire on the rebel works from Cumming's Point, and on the following day he opened upon the city, using the spire of St. Michael's Church as a target. The fire on the Confederate works is said to have been very destructive. They responded slowly, and without effect, from Forts Moultrie and Johnson. A special despatch to the New York Times, from Morris Island, Oct. 27, says:—" Three heavy guns have been turned upon Charleston, and each had thrown Greek fire into the heart of the place. Four Monitors are in position off Sullivan's Island, and it is reported that they will engage the rebel Works this afternoon. The range of the guns on Sumter and Johnson is one-third less than before the cap ture of Wagner and Gregg. The firing on our side is excellent, every shot seems to tell. The object of the fire was to get the range of the reb e l wor k s. It cannot be put down as the commen cement o f any vigorous attack." Nashville, despatch,2B, dated Chattanooga, O c t. 24 , v i a says : " The n enemy's indicates that tßragg Tennessee, is fo l : cio force Upon in movingwith the in large evident purpose o f b rea ki ng through our lines in that direction.

The Confederates fell back upon their fortifications, which are said to be very strong, at Tuscumbia. They had about 6,000 in fantry and 1,000 cavalry, and were commanded by Generals Loring, S. D. Lee, Roddy, Richardson, and Forrest. The following is from the Macon (Georgia) Con- STATE OF TRADE. been rather easier to-day. Sellers are asking the same prices a s ll t I h l e N y c d H i d E o S n T E F it r , i d No v. b ultop. ct buyers t find m t ahrekye tkayohas a little advantage. This is acc o u nted for p artl y by the flat accounts to hand from the L iv e r p ool cott on market and partly by the uneasiness which exists respecting the money m arket. In bundle yam prices are tolerably firm, an d t h ere has been a fair amount of business done for India, at th e ex t re me prices of last week. All kinds of h an k yarns are fi r m, the spinners of them being to a great extent under con tract. On the whole, a rath er qu i et market is reported, and the aggregate business for all quarters has not been large. In cloths there has not bee n muc h d o i ng since --F Foicrally cop last Tuesday ; and there has not been much change to-day. Buyers have shown but very little disposition to operate, and the sales have been extremely limited. Where sales have been effected they have mostly been made at lower prices. There is no very great pressure to sell either on thepart of the manufae turers er holders, but manufacturers in nearly all cases are willing to make very fair concessions on the prices they re cently quoted for the purpose of effecting business. This applies to the generality of India fabrics, and, indeed, to cloths of all descriptions, with the exception of 45-inch shirtings, which appear to keep their value better than most other goods. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" Our market since last Tuesday has been most inanimate, and though there was, perhaps, yesterday a slightly more cheer ful feeling, the business to-day has been trifling. We cannot, therefore, test the actual decline ; but in most cases manu facturers would be willing to make some concessions on our quotations." Messrs, John render and Co., in their semi monthly circular for India, dated yesterday, say that China shirtings (including figured and brocaded) and Calcutta goods have been in small demand during the past fortnight. They quote Bilb China shirtings at 21s 6d to 22s 61 per Piece. For Bombay there has been a moderate business. 39-inch Glb shirtings are quoted 16s to 16s 3d ; 71b ditto, 17s Gd to 18s 3d. 45-inch have been in good demand, and are still wanted ; 71b command 18s Od ; 81b, 21s 6d to 220 ; and 91b. 25s 61 to 25s 9d. Long cloths are quoted 2s 6d to 2s 6d per lb for ordinary quality. T-cloths are quoted fro nl dull, 28. 5d up to 2s7id per lb, according to quality, but ars hed and in little inquiry. Common 40's yarns, they sobete f 331 d yesterday, and best were quoted 36d per lb. of LEEDS, 10th.—There has been a moderate attendance of buyers in the cloth halls this morning, but the amountm business done was not largo, purchases being tweeds,ve and rY uch con fined to miscellaneous lots of heavy fabrics , or dinary black cloths. Neither the export nor the home trade was so brisk as we lately had to repo rt ; but the general tone of the trade is cheerful, and manufacturerstl s are all are well employed.

Con sequently, only a limited business was done either in lace or hosiery yarns, and prices were nominally unaltered, Very little change in silks, There was rather more doing in brown nets, and prices had a tendency to harden. ROCHDALE, 9th.—There has been a moderate attendance of buyers in the flannel market to-day, and they bought freely, chiefly of heavy goods. The finer qualities are not selling so briskly as we lately had to report, but some pat terns are in active request. The manufacturers are all well employed, and stocks aro within a very reasonable compass in their hands. There is no falling off in the demand for Yorkshire goods, which sell well at high prices. Other goods, too, as also wool, keep firm in price. The Price of Gold. —_,,-.-- The quotation 01 gold at Paris is about 2 per mine pm., and the: short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 10/d. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold le About 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than In Paris. By advices fromllamburg, the price of gold is 420 k per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.41:per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price la, therefore, about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills At 60 days' sight is, about 161 per cent., and the premium on gold is 46} percent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. BEAUTIFUL FOR EVER. MADAME RACHEL ON "FEMALE GRACE AND BEAUTY." Just published, ABOOK OF BEAUTY.
