Madrid journals of the 18th and 19th have been received, but they possess little interest. The new Constitution appears to be regarded by the citizens with great apathy. A Committee had been appointed by the Congress to report upon the new Bill, and six out of seven were believed to be favourable to the measure. At the sitting of the 19th, 103 Members were present, and of these, 71 declared for reform, only 32 against it. " Thus," says the Clamor Publico, " will be consummated the attempt upon cur rights, and Spain will be deprived of her liberties if Heaven does not take pity upon her." The Clamor Publico should remember that Heaven helps only those who themselves. _ MADRID BOURSE, OCT. 19.—Three per Cents., for cash, 25i ; Ditto, for cash, 26,1 ; Five per Cents., no quotation ; Floating Debt, 63 1 1 for account ; Coupon?, 26 for cash. The Paris Papers are chiefly occupied with discus sions on the new Spanish Constitution, on which a great many words seem thrown away. The Minis terial journals are very shy on the subject. The Globe gives the whole of the preamble of the Bill, but without comment; and the Journal des Debats, to keep up appearances, seems dissatisfied with some parts of it. " The text of the report," says that journal, " presented to the Queen of SPAIN by her Ministers, in which are detailed the motives which decided them to remodel the Constitution of 1837, is a lengthy document, and by no means redeems its fault of wordiness by that of clearness. We must confess that it has by no means induced us to change our opinion on the main subject, and that we are not more persuaded to-day than yesterday of the neces sity of any change in the fundamental law of Spain. We cannot yet see what the royal power can gain in strength or security by effacing the principle of the sovereignty of the nation from the preamble of the Consitution. It is a sort of bravado ad dressed to the spirit of the times—one of the least in conveniences of which is its being utterly useless." CHRISTINA'S journal regards the new Constitution as an event of ordinary occurrence. " The project of reform," says the Presse, " has been received at Madrid with a calm—we should say with an indiffe rence—which contrasts singularly with the almost unanimous disapprobation which it has excited in Paris. The language .of the press is not more ani mated in general than if an ordinary question was discussed. All the moderate journals, without excep tion, approve of the plan in its fundamental points, and their criticisms only refer to questions of detail altogether secondary. As to the Opposition journals they cry out perjury and treason. But as we re member that these same journals clapped their hands at the revolution of Granja, and at its legislative con sequences, it is impossible for us to attribute a great importance to their protests." The Quotidienne has the following brief notice : " It will be seen that the Constitution-makers in Spain have proposed to themselves the Charter of 1830, particularly the posterior laws which modified it. What they have dared in addition would be gladly attempted at Paris. The jury, for instance, is far from offering a sufficient guarantee to our clever fellows ; they would also be very glad to ar range, according to their iittle interests, the organisa tion of the municipalities." The National cannot write with any composure, and vents its rage in such brief sentences and inter rogatories as the following, addressed to the Journal des Debats : " Your protege.) (Spain) is at'present in full fortune. The Minister of Foreign Affairs for Spain, who is de sirous of putting an end to all political discussions, is one or• your intimate friends ; you have proclaimed Narvaez a hero 1 All this band of shameless counter •revolutionists and unbridled pilferers have been declared your adopted children. You have not concealed your sentiments. You have declared them in such a manner as to be heard by the whole of Europe. At present they are at work, and not sparingly. No more national sovereignty—no more elective senate—no more obligatory convocation of the Cortes—no more Budgets voted annually—no more jury—no more National Guards—the monarchy freed from all control—organic laws made by simple decrees-- and even more, perhaps. Who can describe all the audacity that there is in this overturning of all constitu• tional tegime ? You must give some explanation. Is this what you wanted ? Does M. Guizot sympathise with this Government, sold to the Pope and Don Carlos? Is it the policy of your Government which triumphs ? Are these your secret maxims which are applied ?" The Paris papers contain no news. The Toulonnais states that the 9th Regiment of Light Cavalry, in gar rison at Mascara, is so completely decimated with disease, that there scarcely remain as many men able to do duty as are necessary to water the horses of the regiment.

The royal procession to the City this day is cha racteristic of the habits, the genius, and the industry of the English people. No similar display was made at Paris on the opening of one of the finest buildings of that metropolis—the Bourse. Royalty did not go in state for the purpose of encouraging trade and commerce, and throwing a halo around the occupations of shopkeepers and merchants ; nor are we aware that any such exhibition, as that which attracts the notice of two millions of inhabitants this day, is to be found on record in the history of any great country. Possibly the Doge of VENICE, or the first magistrates of the commercial Republics on th e shores of the Mediterranean, who lived, and moved,. and had their being in trade, might have done similar honour to commercial enterprise; but it was reserved for the Queen of ENGLAND to treat with the same august ceremony the nobles of the land, the representatives of the people, and the humble citizens who have toiled and struggled INFLUX OF TIIIEVES.—We have just been informed by Captain Raining, Superintendent of the city police, that there are at present prowling about the streets of Edinburgh, and of course seeking for prey, between 50 and 60 common and convicted thieves, who have all and each returned from imprisonment for various periods, and in various prisons. They are all well known, especially to the criminal officers, and all the police constables have their eyes upon them, but of course can not interfere unless they catch them in the commLision of crime. We would therefore advise merchants and tradesmen, as well as private families, to be upon their guard against the arts of these rogues, which are so di versified. The fact which we have stated, of the num• ber of known and convicted thieves being at large, may appear astonishing to those who are not aware of a prac tice in our police and other inferior courts, which is this—that on a first and second conviction, these offenders are sentenced to a greater or less period of imprisonment by the presiding judges ; if again found transgressing, they are then remitted to the high Court of Justiciary, and, if convicted, are sent out of the country. The consequence of this very questionable system is, that the thief having suffered his first punishment, returns to his old habits, with the com fortable conviction that, though again caught, he cannot yet be sent to a penal settlement—and so does he calcu late his chances of escape from a third transgression. A first conviction is seldom for a first offence ; and if the crime implies banishment in a superior, we think it would be well that it did so also in the inferior court.— Caledonian Mercury. THE BORING OF VESSELS.—INJURY SUSTAINED BY TuE liarin.—An idea may be formed of the magni tude of the injury to accrue to property, waiving alto gether the manifest imminent peril to human life, from the perpetration of this ghastly crime, by the mad statesmen, and the misguided SOVEREIGN, who loss C sustained by one vessel alone.

THIS DAY'S NEWS. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY. CORN-EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.) The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market dar ing the past week have been moderately good ; while those of Barley and Oats, collectively, were very exten sive. Fresh up, the receipts of Wheat of home produce, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, were by no means large, yet the stands were well filled. Owing, however, to the Queen's visit to the City, for the purpose of opening the new Royal Exchange, the attend ance of both factors and dealers was small, and so little business was transacted in consequence that last week's prices were nominally unaltered. The same cause which influenced the trade with English Wheat operated upon that with Foreign, the rates of which were stationary. There was a large quantity of Barley on sale. The few transactions reported were at full currencies, although much caution was manifested by the dealers, arising from the present extreme value of the article. Malt, the supply of which was by no means large, moved off slowly, at late rates. The quantity of Oats offering was large, but we have to report very few sales in that description of grain, at previous figures. Beans, Peas, and Flour, were a mere drug, at late rates.

Notwith standing the attendance of buyers was rather numerous, the Beef trade was extremely heavy. However, the primest Scots, &c., sold at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight ; but those of the mid dling and inferior breeds suffered a decline of quit: 2d per 81b, and a clearance was not effected. From oar northern grazing districts we received about 2,200 short horns, while the droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, consisted of 400 Scots and home breads ; those from the western and midland counties comprised 400 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; those from other parts of England 500 of various breeds ; while from Scotland 200 Scots came to hand, by steamers. During the week the imports of foreign Stock under the new tariff have been large, they having amounted to 180 Beasts, and 160 Sheep, thereby making the following totals for the present year:— Oxen and Cows. 1,749 80 250 960 160 London Liverpool Hull Southampton Devonport Total 3,190 There were on sale to-day 40 Beasts and 50 Sheep from Rotterdam in fair condition.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 22.—The Second Chamber of the States-General, after some preliminary business, proceeded to the choice, by ballot, of three candi dates of the post of President, during the present session. The three members chosen were-1. M. Akerlaken ; 2. I‘l. Bruce ; 3. M. Lurgben, of whom the King will choose one to fill the office. THE HAGUE, OCT. 25.—1 n the sitting of the Second Chamber, yesterday, a message from the King was received, stating that his Majesty had chosen M. Akerlaken, the first candidate on the list, for the post of President. Three Royal Messages were received, accompany ing the three following projects of law :- 1. For making changes in the first book of the penal code. 2. For a new tariffof the duties on importation, ex portation, and transit. 3. A project of law indicating the means of repay ing the capital owing by the State to the Society of Commerce (the Handels Maatschappy). Several other projects of law were presented, ac companied with explanatory memorials. The Chamber then appointed a Committee of five Members, to draw up an address in reply to his Majesty's speech. SECOND CHAMBER, OCT. 24. The Assembly was opened by M. Lingben, pre sident ad interim. The royal message of yesterday announced the appointment of M. Akerlaken. M. Luxben said that before he left his seat he f.lt himself called upon to express his sincere thanks to the Cham ber for the proofs of good will and regard which he had received during the year of his office. On his leaving the chair, it was taken by M. Akerlaken, who made a suitable address to the Chamber, which ordered both the speeches to be printed.

Clarke, London, 1844. The author of this little volume of poems is an un impeachable versifier, but as a poet he must be con tent with holding an inferior station among the sing ing-birds of Parnassus. There is nothing original about him, nor are his ideas or images such as prove that he possesses the imaginative faculty to any con siderable extent ; but he has some tenderness, fre quent neatness, and even elegance of expression, and deserves special praise for the easy flow and uniform correctness of his versification. His poetry, how ever, is very monotonous in its character, and, like that of Haynes Bayley, of whom he is an evident imitator, not unfrequently "cloys us with excess of sweets." TEACHER'S COMPANION. Houlston, London, 1844. The chief object of the work before us is to exhibit the principles of Sunday-school instruction and dis cipline. It contains many practical suggestions cal culated to be of service to the instructors of youth, and has the merit—rare among works of this sort— of being written simply and unassumingly, without the slightest approach to anything like pedantry.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.) The Victoria and Albert yacht is ordered into dock to undergo such alterations as may be directed by the chief assistant to the surveyor, John Edye, Esq. The best thing to be done is to break her up, as she is not only falsely constructed, but worse arranged, and that the Admiralty buy the best of Cunard's packets, to which add a little ornament, and it would give her Majesty a much more convenient, safe, and serviceable vessel than any the surveyor seems able to project.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tlubitt )i)tuton. " Who runs may read." FOiLEXON. On Thursday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received at St. Cloud the English Ambassador, the Ministers of the United States, Den mark, and Brazil, the President of the Chamber of Peers, the Prefects of the Seine and Seine-et-Oise, Generals Sebastiani, Jacqueminot, Carbonel de Garraube, and Hecquet. When the King passed through Beaumont on Wednes day evening, on his return from Eu, he was received with loud acclamations, and the town was illuminated. The Sub Prefect addressed his Majesty in a short speech expressive of the joy of the people of Beaumont at seeing him in good health amongst them, and of their admira tion of his solicitude for the public welfare. His Majesty made a suitable reply which was followed by shouts from the multitude of V ive le Roi Vice la Reine The Duke de Nemours on Friday entered his 31s . year, and thereby became qualified to vote in the Chain. ber of Peers. The French Chambers will very soon be convoked for the beginning of December. The King, on quitting Windsor, says the Revcu de Paris, had given orders for the sum of 50,000 f. to be dis tributed amongst the servants of the household, but, on its being observed to him that Queen Victoria had only given 25,000 f. at Eu, his Majesty, from a sense of pro. priety, ordered that the same amount should be given in his name. A letter from Boulogne-sur-Mer states that the dili gence conducteur who absconded with 36,000 f., ad dressed to Messrs. Adam and Co., of that place, em barked at Boulogne for England, after having converted the French money into bank-notes. He had not been gone long, however, when two of the proprietors of the diligence having ascertained his route left Boulogne in pursuit. The Journal de l'Ain declares that there is no truth in the account given by the Lyons journals of the drowning of several children of the foundling hospital of that city. The account has also been contradicted by the Director of the Hospital. The Presse mentions a report that the King of Prussia is about to emancipate the Jews. COUIL7C-PALSEXONALBILX. Her Majesty intends to receive a select circle at the Castle this week, Sir Robert Peel and several other dis tinguished personages having been invited to assemble at that regal residence from Tuesday to Friday next. It is expected that her Majesty and the Prince Con sort, accompanied by some portion of the Royal Family, will pay another visit to Osborne House in a week or ten days. The Duchess of Buccleuch, Mistress of the Robes, was unavoidably absent from the state procession to day, although her Grace's name appears in the official programme. The Duchess is at Dalkeith Palace, in daily expectation of her accouclament. The Duke did not come from Scotland for this day's ceremony of open ing the Royal Exchange. The Earl and Countess of Granville have returned to town from Pansanger, Herts, where they have been among the visitors of Earl and Countess Cowper. Vis count and Viscountess Jocelyn had also left that seat. Earl and Countess de Grey have come to town from Wrest Park, Bedfordshire, much sooner than was con templated by them on their first arrival at that splendid country seat, from Newby Hall. The Noble Earl and Countess leave ( arly in the present week for Brighton, the Earl having been requested to resort to that water ing place for the benefit of his health, which is not alto gether satisfactory. The Earl'of Aberdeen, the Earl of Ripon, the Earl of Haddington, and Lord Stanley, were prevented by other engagements from being present at the inaugura tion of the Royal Exchange, by the Queen, to-day. Viscount and Viscountess Villiers, after a lengthened absence on the Continent, arrived late on Saturday night, from Vienna, having journeyed direct from the Austrian capital to this country. The Hon. C. A. Murray, the Master of the Household was prevented from being present at the opening of the Royal Exchange to-day, in consequence of indispo. sition, which originated in a fall from his horse, whilst hunting with Prince Albert's hariers. 2)2116CM.16.44Lbf The weather during the day has been most favourable for the Queen's visit to the City. The air was dry, the sun occasionally broke through the slight haze, and had the streets been swept by all the scavengers and new sweeping machines of London, they could not have been made one half so clean as they were by the dry north wind. The scene altogether was of the most gratifying description. Captain Grover arrived in town on Saturday from St. Petersburgh, and we are informed that the Emperor of Russia has kindly promised to do everything in his power for the liberation of Dr. Wolff. The will of the late Dr. Dalton has been proved in Doctors' Commons, and the personal property sworn to under 4,0001. The Queen has conferred the Garter, vacant by the death of the late Duke of Grafton, on the Earl of Powis. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS Scarcely any one is in the City but for mere pleasure seeking, and we have nothing to communicate. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE OF TWO PERSONS. KILMARNOCK, OCT. 24. This morning, about seven o'clock, as a man and woman were passing along the Irvine river, beneath the Milton-bridge, which is about three miles from Kilmar nock (on the Kilmarnock and Troon Railway), they observed a hat and veil tied on a parasol stuck in the ground, a short distance from the water's edge, and on looking into the river they perceived the bodies of a gentleman and lady in comparatively shallow water, and about ten feet from the bank. Notice was conveyed to Mr. Smith, farmer, at West Gateshead, the nearest house to the spot, who, with his servant, came and assisted in raising the bodies. These were found to be attached by two handkerchiefs (red and white) knotted together, and tied round the arm of each. The bodies were removed to the house of Mr. Smith, and their persons searched, in . order to ascertain, if possible, the names and addresses of the deceased. Both were well dressed and had the appearance of persons moving in a respectable rank of life. The gentleman was dressed in a black coat, black vest. with under satin vest, trousers of dark blue doeskin, with boots. He was of a ruddy complexion, about five feet eight inches in height, gray hair, and apparently near sixty years of age. The lady was about the same age, attired in a black silk gown, a Dunstable bonnet, a boa around her neck, black silk gloves, with a plain gold ring on her finger. In her pocket were a fruitknife, penknife, toothpick, and gold pin, satin pincushion, an eighteenpenny bill stamp, and four postage stamps ; a'so two keys of a trunk, and a watch seal, with the word " Kate" engraved thereon. On the gentleman were found a plaits and rather old fashioned watch, three gold seals attached bya black silk riband, with the letter " B" engraven ; a silver pencil case, a gold ring on his finger, Is. 6d. in silver, and 2id. in copper, in his pockets ; also a gold toothpick in an ivory case, a pair of old steel spectacles, a two-bladed penknife, a pocket comb, a steel pencil-holder, and a gold watch key. A number of individuals belonging to Gateshead, at tracted by the rumour, flocked to the farmhouse, several of whom recognised the deceased as having appeared in the village yesterday forenoon walking arm-in -arm, when • they inquired of the villagers the distance to the river, and whether there was liberty given to walk along the banks. They went on, and were seen in a short time thereafter to return and walk towards Kilmarnock. The watch was found to have stopped at twenty minutes to nine o'clock, and had not been exhausted in the wind. ing up, thus indicating the time when the parties had accomplished their awful purpose. The part of the river where the bodies were found is not above three feet deep, but immediately beneath is a deep pool. The act of self-destruction must have been committed in the most cool and deliberate manner, and their death unattended with any serious struggle, from the position in which the bodies were found. There was not the slightest mark of violence perceived on either of their bodies. Mr. Andrew, Procurator-Fiscal, proceeded to the spot at an early hour, made the requisite investigation into the melancholy circumstances, and this forenoon the bodies were removed to Kilmaurs, to lie there to await any further information that can be obtained. On making inquiry in town, we understand that a lady and gentleman, answering the above description, came on Tuesday eight days to reside at the commercial inn here, having arrived by railway from Glasgow. They brought two trunks, but gave no address. They seemed to have no acquaintances in town, but took fre quent walks in company along the streets, and ap peared to live most agreeably together—affording no evidence that they were by any means embarrassed in their circumstances, or troubled in mind. Yester day, after taking dinner, they left the inn about five o'clock P.M., intimating to Mrs. Wyllie that they would probably be late, as they were going to take a moonlight walk, and enjoy the fine scenery of the neigh bourhood. The gentleman had been in the custom of visiting the coffee-room and reading the papers in the evening ; he had a. pleasing address, and gave no indica tion that he was a person labouring under great dis tress of mind, or in needy circumstances. They paid their bill that day, and no person, so far as is known, has any claim on them in this neighbourhood. In the bedroom remain a brown great coat, a silk pelisse, a small work-box and two leathern trunks, which have evidently been much used. No address appears on any of the articles, and Mrs, Wylie had no opportunity of knowing their names. This extraordinary event has caused a great sensation in the neighbourhood, and all conjecture at present into the motives of the deceased is set at defiance. They lived as man and wife, and, where ever they have come from, have kept their names a strict secret. From the small sum of money found on their persons, they appear to have exhausted their means so tar, but the valuables they possessed could have afforded them the means of livelihood for some time longer. PROPOSED RAILWAYS TO HARROGATE, &C.—The promoters of the railway from Harrogate and Knares borough to Bolton Percy, do not intend to renew their application to Parliament in the next session, the scheme being abandoned. This will enable the influence of this district to be thrown entirely in favour of the intended Leeds and Thirsk line. The York and North Midland Railway Company are surveying a line of railway from Midland or Sherburn, on that line, to near Harrogate, by way of Thorp Arch, Wetherby and Spofforth, in order to afford a more ready. communication to the south and south-east than will be given by the Leeds and Thirsk proposed railway.--Harrogate Advertiser. THE LATE SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A MEDICAL MAN.—On Saturday afternoon Mr. William Carter, Coroner for Surrey, resumed and concluded an inquiry at the George Tavern, Lambeth-walk, relative to the death of Mrs. Mary Tremlett Turner Brenton, aged thirty-four, wife of Mr. Henry Brenton, an apothecary, of Newport-street, Lambeth. The full particulars of the case have already appeared in The Sun. The Coroner said it was now his duty to make known to the public the decision of the jury, who had, after a most pro tracted investigation, returned a verdict of Manslaughter against Henry Brenton. The several witnesses were then bound over to appear at the Central Criminal Court to prosecute. OXFORD-STREET WOOD PAVING.—OH Saturday considerable sensation was created in the Marylebone Vestry, in consequence of a notice of motion having been given, calling upon the vestry to renew their con tract for three years with the Metropolitan Wood Paving Company, for keeping in repair and cleansing that por tion of wood paving laid down by them between Wells street and Rathbone-place. Mr. E. Joseph having been appointed to the chair, Mr. H. C. Wilson rose to submit his resolution, but was interrupted by Mr. Harbut, who &tiled upon the Vestry-blerk to state whether the resolu tion, come to by the vestry in March, 1843, to refuse to entertain the subject of wood paving for a period of three years, did not preclude the vestry from entering into the present motion. Mr. Flood (the vestry-clerk) apprehended that it did not- The minute of March, 1843, applied to the extension of wood paving, and not to the question of keeping in repair that already laid own. After a very stormy discussion, in which MessrF. Tabrum, Daniell, Augarde, Grange, Wilson, and Harbut took part, a division was demanded when there appeared for the resolution, 21 ; against it, 23 ; majority, refusing to enter into he contract, 2. The vestry then separated. ARNICA MONTANA, OR LEOPARD'S BANE. --- NERVOUS DEAFNESS.—This plant is a native of Ger• Many, and belongs to the olass Syngenesia ; order, Polygamia superflua of Linnaeus, and to the tenth class; third order, Coryrnbiferre of Jussieu. It is placed in the System of De Candolle in the CorollXoral Eregens i ordeps .Asteracw or Composite. In the " Materia Medics" it is classed with the Narcotics, and, from its botanical position, it may be considered as a Narcotico-acrid. The flowers, leaves, and root, have been applied to medical purposes, The flowers of this plant have a slightly fetid smell, and a taste pene trating and bitter. The infusion from maceration in water shows that both the taste and smell are extracted during the process. When administered their stimulating power and narcotic effects are evidenced in their action on the general system. In a moderate dose they increase the force of the circula. tion, and they further serve to give tone to the mus cular fibre. In larger doses they induce purging, vomit ing, &c., which are sometimes succeeded by pains in the muscles of voluntary motion, vertigo, and occasionally convulsions. According to Dupuytren, the emetic effects arise from certain downy particles from the plant, which got diffused through the infusion. This infusion has been very successfully exhibited in amaurosis, paralysis, convulsive disorders, and also in rheumatism and gout (and the last two years by Dr. Cronin in nervous deafness, and palpitation of the heart, since which time several eminent surgeons have testified to its efficacy), The root of this plant is tonic and aromatic, so much so, that it has been used as a substitute fi,r Peruvian bark.—From Dr. Cronin's, Craven -street. Strand, " Treatise on Ai nice Montana in the Cure of Nervous Deafness, and Palpitation of the Heart," The Hereford large October fair was held on Monday last, the 21st instant, and was decidedly a better one than had been anticipated. The number of cattle was not so large aa on many previous occasions. Fat cattle sold well and freely, as they did on the pre vious Saturday (show day). Owing to the scarcity of keep there was no great demand for lean cattle, but in the course of the day many changed hands at lower prices. Fat cows and steers fetched from sd. to sid. per pound, which was about the price at which the best muttons sold. There was a considerable demand for store pigs, which were sold at rather advanced prices. There were none but second-rate horses, and not many sold, The hop trade was very brisk, and the highest current prices fully realised.—Ten Towns' Messenger. By a private letter from her Majesty's ship Col lingwood, 80 (now on her way to the Pacific), bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir George Francis Seymour, C,8., G,C.H., we find the qualities of that fine ship well spoken of. Although she only holds a third-rate place, yet she is about two feet broader in the beam than either the Caledonia or the St. Vincent, both first rates, and her tonnage is only 127 tons less than the former, and 2Y tons less than the latter. She is roomy and commodious, and we have no doubt will be a good sea boat in a gale of wind. The Collingwood was b u ilt in 1841, at Pembroke, by Sir William Symonds.— United Service Gazette, THE GREAT BRITAIN STEAM-SHIP.---BRISTOL, OCT 26.—This noble vessel is at length released from her. protracted confinement in our float. The necessary alterations in the uppear lock leading from Cumberland Basin into the float having been made, she was yesterday evening, between six and seven o'clock, removed from her moorings on the Sea-banks, and proceeded majesti cally down the floating harbour to the entrance of the lock, where she remained for the night, and this morn ing, at seven o'clock, she was brought safely through the 1 0 4 into Cnnaberland Basin, where she will remain for a few days, to have the screw affixed, &c. It is then intended that she shall make one or two trial trips, after which she will proceed to London, IMPROVEMENT OF LEITH HARBOUR. At the last meeting of the Edinburgh Tow n Council, Mr. Logan called the attention of the me,T; hers to this subject. The Council were aware that by the Act Ist and 2d Victoria, chap. 55., entitled the Edinburgh and Leith Agreement Act, certain com missioners were appointed with all the necessary power and authority for maintaining and i'mprel the harbour and docks of Leith. Since the passing °f that Act in 1838, the commissioners have extended the_ pier upwards of a thousand feet. When that n'e', _ accomplished, it became an important question le, determine what else should be done. A plan hea been suggested by Mr. Walker, civil engineer, for car been out the pier another thousand feet, by halfwhich they would obtain not less than from seven and a t to twelve feet of low water, according to the differ e ,, n tates of the tide. Circumstances had occurred bi tel 2. .vhich made it of paramount imp o rtance for Leith ,E"_ . nave a low- water pier—he alluded to the monop e q, which the Duke of Buccleuch and Mr. Gladstone ° Pasque had established between Granton and Burn ; tisland. No doubt this mon o poly would prove °: tdvantage to the public generally; but there was 'arge population that lay to the east, on both sides of !he Firth, who would be gre a tly acco mmodated b) to rerry from Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy o n the north Leith on the south. And so much was this felt , thin ; i company was lately formed, the whole capital which was subscribed in twenty-four hours. Bu t present, although they are able to c o me to Leith rer tour days in the week, the hours at which this accom modation could be obtained was so uncertain that theY could notadvertise them in such a way that the public could depend upon them, and at present they are Or sequently obliged to land either a t N ew haven or t ue Chain-pier. Now, the extension of the pier to he present length had cost the sum of 14,0001., and uniel s i something else was done, this lar ge s um might as w ell have been thrown into the place where the piles no! lie. Unless the pier be further ex t en d e d Leith catiee! have a low-water pier; but the plan of Mr. Leshe would give this accommodation, and with this vie!: the commissioners were naturally a n xious to get 1t carried into effect. According to th e A g reement Act already referred to, however, any plan for the provement of the pier must first be approved of by tb e "freasury, and their approval had in the p re sent instan ce been refused. The commissioner s , feeling that theY were swimming for life, have repeatedly asked the Trir sury what they disliked about the plan, and what they would wish to - be amended, but all that they have, as yet been able to elicit from the Treasury is sometet like the words of the old rhyme a b ou t Doctor Ye t. , This was the state of matters at p resen t. Now, ""f would not suppose that the position of the Duke at Buccleuch in the Cabinet, an d hi s i n t eres t in al quarter, had any share in the disinclination which if fe been shown to sanction the desir e d i m p rove ment. t le believed that his Grace was abo ve any thi n g of t ad sort ; he believed that he was above using the Vets of his high office to promote his private interests. I ' o might he not be allowed t o su pp ose th a t Whit% from a less high-minded quarter h a d b een us ed in tza • matter ?—(Hear, hear.)

STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, OCT. 25.—The transactions of the past week have been about an ave rage of the few preceding weeks, and no variation is apparent in prices. ENGLISII WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, OCT. 25. There has been rather more inquiry for wool this week, but the sales have not been large. Prices are nominally without alteration, but w here sales hare been effected they have been a shade in favour of the buyers. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, OCT. 25.—The ex pectations of the wool holders (as expressed in our last week's report) have in some measure been realised already, as the absence of consumers generally for several weeks past as buyers have so reduced the stock of several of them, as to occasion their coming forward more freely to buy, and more sales have been passing this week than for several preceding week at a shade under the highest prices that were obtained two or three months ago. LEEDS.—There was a little improvement in our Cloth Market on Tuesday, on comparison with the markets of the last two or three weeks ; prices remain steady, the stocks on hand are on the increase, although lower than usual at this period of the season; busi ness has been dull for finished goods, particularly for heavy fabrics ; the extreme mildness of the weather causes the buyers to withhold purchasing; there is, however, little doubt of an improvement in heavy winter goods, for the home market, when the weather sets in colder. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—AIthough as many piece goods have been sold to-day as on any re cent market day, sales have been effected on terms far from remunerating. There is an evident flatness in the trade; but we hope that the precautionary mea sures resorted to by the manufacturers will ere long issue in a more healthy state of things. After the most diligent inquiry we are led to believe that so great and sudden a check to production was never before applied, not even in the panic of 1825-6, or in that of 1837. Business must have become very pro fitless, and the demand very languid, to occasion such an extensive change. There is no visible improve ment in yarns since our last report; and as the con dition of the spinners becomes more and more harass ing by the great disproportion existing between the prices of wool and yarns, many have adopted the sys tem of less production, some by running short time— others by allowing a portion of their machinery to stand unemployed. The demand for combing wools has in no way varied for several weeks past; spinners supplying themselves as their necessities require, and that on the most limited scale. There appears a great want of confidence amongst the buyers as to future prices or their operations would no doubt be more extensive. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—There has been a remarkably good demand for cloth this week, and since Tuesday it has in no degree abated ; on the contrary, it has in some measure increased : prices, too, for nearly all qualities and descriptions, are a little higher, say, about lid. a piece, or about 2 per cent. The demand for China, and in particular for the port of Shanghae, is immense, and the advices from this particular place are most encouraging. The profits are understood to be not only good, but even large. Some idea may be formed of the amazing increase in the business to China when it is stated, that for nine months of 1,844, the number of pieces of shirtings only, exceed the quantity for the entire year of 1843, by more than 1,000,000 pieces; and, it is computed that for the year, it will amount to 1,500,000 pieces. The Belgian new tariff has not created so great a sensation in Man chester as was by many anticipated it would have done. These, which may be called small fallings off, are more than fully compensated for in the daily in creased demand for India and China. Our principal manufacturers are engaged for some weeks to come. Yarns are in undiminished brisk demand, and such as are adapted for exports are positively not to be had. The spinners are, therefore, doing well, and likely to continue to do so for some time to come.—Leeds Mercury. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 26.—There is rather more inquiry for Stock to-day, and prices remain steady. Belfast and Ballymena, 11 premium; Churnet Valley, 3i ; Eastern Counties, 131 ; Leeds and Dews bury, 7i ; Manchester, Bury, and Rossendale, 8 ; Man chester and Leeds, Half Shares, 461 ; North Union Stock B, 75 ; Sheffield and Lincolnshire, 1 a 2 1.16 Sheffield and Manchester, Quarter Shares, 13e. THE ORANGE SEASON.—The following is an ex tract of a letter from Lisbon, dated Oct 16:—" The shipments of oranges will shortly commence. There is certainly not a large crop, but quite sufficient to meet the demand. The invoices will open at four dollars, 400 per chest, about 21s. English ; at least, I understand this is the price the Lusitanian Fruit Company, who are the most extensive shippers of oranges, intend to invoice at, and of course other houses will be regulated accordingly. Some vessels have been chartered to London at 41. per ton, and I expect freights will rule between 3/ 10 2 . and that amount."
