FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, DEC. 6.—As usual at this advanced season of the year, only a limited business has been done in Foreign Wools, but every confidence is felt of a favourable reaction at the corn mencement of the new year. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, DEC. 6.—There 1 •2—•""'--' has been a steady demand for both combing arid clothing wools this week. Last week's prices are firmly maintained; but the rates which have been given to the farmers lately will not afford further supplies at a profit, unless higher prices can be realised in these markets. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, DEC. 6.—There is not the least variation in the prices or demand for either long or short wool this week, and purchases continue to be made with more confidence. LEEDS.—The markets at both cloth halls this week have been very dull. The season having now so far advanced, and the winter having hitherto been so mild, has had the effect, to a great extent, of prevent ing the sale of winter goods. The stocks are, how ever, by no means heavy in the hands of the manu facturers, and prices are steady. In the warehouses business has been correspondingly dull ; few buyers have been in the market, and there is little doing ex cept to order. The foreign houses are very quiet. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY —There is no alteration in the demand for combing wools, and deep grown hogs and wethers are in fair request to meet the immediate wants of the consumer; and as such kinds are not abundant, the difficulty of getting a supply from the growers, at prices to meet the buyers here, is not abated. The quantity coming to market is barely equal to the consumption. Hence comes the conflict as to whether an increased price can he realised, which the spinners now so strongly resist. The exceedingly depressed state of the yarn trade offers no encouragement to the spinners in any way to augment their productions, which is now very mate rially curtailed. Although yarns are somewhat readier sale, and a general feeling prevailing that they have seen their lowest point, yet there is no dis position on the part of the buyers, either for home consumption or export, to buy, except at prices most ruinous to the producer. There is a tolerably good demand for piece goods made all from wool, such as lastings, damasks, moreens, and merinos ; but the same improvement is not so apparent for Orleans, Co bourghs, and fancy goods, which are still only com manding prices very unsatisfactory ; and as this is not the season when any material increase in the demand is usual, the manufacturers are acting with great caution, and limiting their production till they see a chance of realising prices more commensurate with the cost of manufacture. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We are again rather more flat than on this day week in our clotb market, but as the month of December is always one of the dullest, not much importance is attached to the fact. Prices are a little lower, but hardly quotable. Yarns are much in the same state, though there is a good business doing. BARNSLEY.—The linen trade continues to improve, and the prospect for the winter is very cheering, as the general trade of the town is better than it has been for a number of years. There are at present more buildings in progress (including three steam loom factories) than there has been at one time since the memorable year 1825.—Leeds Mercury. ~G~ COMMERCIAL RESTRICTIONS.- (From the Times.) There is a very important distinction to be drawn between the arguments with reference to the re moval of commercial restrictions, which are put forward by the organs and adherents of the Anti- Corn-law League or the partisans of free trade a tout prix, and those views which we have uni formly entertained on these important subjects. We yield to no party in this country in our desire tia-- procure for the public consumer the various products which are imported to our shores, encumbered with as few restrictions as the demands of the revenue and the precautions imposed by a long-established, though unwise, system of protec tion, will admit of. It is needless to discuss the prncticability of measures which would at once deprive the revenue of its most important items, or expose various important interests, which - have been created under a system of protective duties. to unlimited competition even in the home market. But the interests of the public imperatively demand that revenue, and not protection, should be made the standard of our system of import duties ; and that whenever a greater degree of protection ex ists, it should be gradually reduced to the limits of this sound and equitable rule. Much of this spe cies of commercial reform remains to be accona► plished ; many of the most :mportant articles of consumption are still burdened with duties which are some of them injurious to the revenue and to the public, for the sake of certain local or class interests ; whilst some, as, for instance, the high duties pn to bacco and tea, are equally injurious to the na tional interests, without having even the pretext of protection to support them. Nor can we allow ourselves to doubt that if the Government find themselves in possession of a permanent sur plus revenue, they will avail themselves of so favourable an occasion to try these important experi ments in finance, although at the risk of a temporary loss. We are not insensible to the importance of this policy ; the people of this country expect it and demand it; and as long as we are dealing with our own interests under our own laws, we entertain no doubt of a favourable result. But here the agree ment between ourselves and some other partisans of the free-trade doctrines ceases, and the distinction to which we just now alluded begins. They admit, with us, that the primary advantage of a liberal tariff on foreign commodities is the reduction of prices to the home consumer ; but they arrogate to themselves an absolute and indefeasible power of obtaining, or extorting, by these reductions of our own import duties, corresponding reductions of the duties levied on our productions by foreign Governments. Relying with unlimited confidence on this assumption, they argue that the increase or decrease of foreign duties is solely to be viewed as the result of our own commercial measures ; and thus, under a different form, they revive the ancient and exploded theory of a direct balance of trade. All experience has demonstrated that no such balance exists between nations any more than between private dealers. Trade is conducted by a circuit of operations, not by direct exchange, akin to barter ; and the amount of purchase or sale from or to any given state by another state, is no proof whatever that corresponding inverse transactions in commodities must take place between them. England is the best cu'tomer of Russia, though Russia prohibits to the utmost extent the principal productions of England : and Brazil is one of the best customers of England, although the Eng lish colonies are protected competitors, which exclude, for the most part, the produce of Brazil from our ports. We do not contest the obvious truth that a reduc tion of duties on the produce of any given country tends generally to promote commerce with that country, and may he the means of obtaining by treaty some equivalent concession ; but it is egregiously false to contend that such reductions, without reference to treaty stipulations, force, or even in duce, a foreign Government to act in the same spirit. High or hostile tariffs have been adopted by fo reign states of late years, partly for the purposes of revenue, partly for protection. Our iron and our cottons are taxed by the Zollverein, not only because German corn does not freely enter into British con sumption, but because there is a strong demand on the part of the German iron-masters and the manu facturers for protection ; if we did admit German corn, and if, in consequence, the rate of wages and the cost of production fell in this country, our goods would become cheaper, and consequently more formidable to foreign competitors. The cheaper they are, the more will they be excluded, and what ever tends to make them cheaper tends, of course, to strengthen the party of protection abroad. If the abrupt and unqualified measure of 1841 had been car ried, we do not entertain the slightest doubt that it would either have been used by foreign countries as a direct advantage, enabling them to lay on export duties on their produce, or viewed as a danger de manding a stronger wall of defence; and that the effect would have been a more rapid increase of du ties than that which has taken place. In fact, we have seen in the last four years, that the more we have tended to reduce our own duties, the greater has been the tendency of foreign countries in the opposite direction. In Brazil the question turns upon the want of revenue, not upon the demand for pro tection ; but the same argument applies with equal force. It is a gratuitous assumption to affirn that a mo dification of duties in Britain will infidliby bring about corresponding reductions in foreign states. The income tax may enable the British Government to remove the burden of taxation from the food of the people to their purses ; but Brazilian Governments have no in come-tax, and they must meet the demands of their Exchequer as they can. An increased export trade to England would have no effect on their resources unless it was encumbered with an export duty ; and in their present social and political condition, they may defy us to point out any mode of raising their revenue more practicable and more analogous to our own than that which they have adopted, providsd always revenue, and not retaliation or prohibition, is the principle of their new tariff, as we believe it to be. j As for the threat of hostile differential duties, we are not bound to presume that such powers will be exer• cised, though they may have been sanctioned, by the Legislature of that country; we have to deal, not with the powers conferred on the Brazilian Executive, hut with the use it makes of them, and similar powers have at various times been conferred by Parliament on the British Crown, although they have remained, as these will do, a dead letter. Charles Bianconi, Esq., Clonmel.—Cork Examiner, has be e n elected Mayor a 'TT 'it PM' • - inVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, tkereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. which was revived last spring, with some modifications that led to the adoption of the new name of the Caledonian Railway, has been generally received by the public under the erroneous impression that it has still the sanction of the Commissioners' authority. The line, as thus revived and modified, is meant to extend from Carlisle, to a point at er ■ear Lanark, and to diverge there into two branches, one running to Edinburgh and the other towards Glasgow. A subordinate branch is proposed, from a point about eight miles distant from Glasgow, to join a projected railway, called the Scottish Central Railway, at Castlecarry ; whereby a connexion with Stirling and the North would be affbrded. The branch towards Glasgow is not intended to be carried so far as that City, but, at some distance from it, will run-1, into certain mineral railways belonging to separate Companies, and constructed originally for the purpose of conveying coals to the high levels on the north side of Glasgow ; and 2, into another projected line, called the Clydesdale Ji.nction, which is intended to convey minerals and passengers to the low levels on the south side of Glasgow. This complicated plan will be best understood by reference to the accompanying Map. In contrasting this scheme with that of which the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is intended to form a part, your Committee feel bound to consider, preferably, their bearing on the general interests of the country. First —The length of the Caledonian Railway, excluding the Castlecarry Branch, which is said to be about eight miles long, is stated in the Prospectus, as being 112 miles, and the cost is there estimated at 1.500,000/. In a subsequent report, published by the promoters, it is stated, that, " In consequence of savings on other parts of the line, the Castlecarry extension of the Caledonian Line can be constructed without exceeding the capital upon which the Prospectus proceeded " But, even after allowing this correction of the original estimate, of the accuracy •f which your Committee have no means of judging, and without attempting t• calculate the expense of a proposed branch of about 15 miles long to Dumfries, and of widening the guage, and otherwise altering the mineral lines before mentioned, or the expense of the Clydesdale Junction Line, which practically forms a part of the scheme, it would appear that the single line of international communication proposed by the Caledonian Company, would, without accommodating any important local traffic, actually cause an expenditure of upwards of 500,0001. more than the whole sum that would be required fir completing the two trunk lines of communication which your Com. mittee have already pointed out. Secondly —Your Committee beg to refer you to the Comparative Table of Distances on the accompanying Map, from which you will observe—l. That the North British Railway, in connexion with the projected lines from London to York. and from Newcastle to Berwick, affords the shortest communication from London, Leeds, Hull, and Newcastle. to Edinburgh and Stirling; and that, not only by the Fife Line, but even by the Scottish Central Rail way, which would be reached by the Eeinburgh and Glasgow Railway, it forms the shortest route from London and the important towns above.mentioned to Perth, Dundee, and 'Aberdeen. 11. That the Edinburgh, Hawick, and Carlisle Railway affords the shortest line from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, kc., to Edinburgh ; and, in connexion with the Fife and Northern Limes, to Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. 3. That the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway is the shortest route from London and the whole of England to Dumfries, Kirkcudbright, Port. Patrick, for the north of Ireland, Kilmarnock, and Ayr; and that. allowing for the superiority of its gradients over those of the Caledonian Line, on the principles of comparison established by the Royal Commissioners in their Report of 1841, it affords the shortest oommunication, in point of speed and economy, with Paisley and Greenock. The only disadvantage, in point of distance, is in the case of Glasgow; in regard to which, however, on the principles laid down in the Commissioners' Report, the difference between the two lines is reduced to I3i miles, er less than half an hour in point of time. Thirdly.—The sections of the Caledonian, and Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Lines, not having been deposited, it is impossible as yet to speak accurately on the subject of gradients. It is quite certain, however, that the gradients of the former will be inferior to those of the latter. The fo lowing are quotations from a report made on the comparative merits of the two lines by Mr. Locke. the engineer ef the Caledonian Railway, in 1830. In speaking of what is new called the Caledonian Line, he flays, " lat first directed my attention to this route, which, as far as Beattock. bridge, near Moffat, 1 found tolerably favourable ; in proceeding farther, however, the valley for several miles rises very rapidly, until reaching the summit near Elvantoot, where it attains the height of nearly 1,900 feet above the level of the sea—Beattock-bridge, which is only 10 miles distant, being only about 300 feet above the level of the sea. In 10 miles, then, the rise is nearly 700 feet, which, supposing it to be uniform the whole way, would give an inclination of I in 75. 4 Net wishing to recommend a line having such a plane," Sec. But in speaking of the line by Dumfries, Mr. Locke says—" Of the levels of this route, I may say, that from Carlisle to Dumfries, about thirty miles, the only inclinations will be these which it may be desirable to encounter for the purpose of saving money, those two towns being nearly on the same level. With the exception of the bridges across the Rivers Eden, Esk, Sark, and Annan, which will neither be high nor very long, no very considerable outlay will be required. The ground in some parts is undulating, but not so as to render the formation of the road either difficult or expensive." And again. with reference to the portion of the line between Dumfries and Thornhill, he says —" The levels in this part extending over a space of almost forty nailes,t will be nearly uniform, and gradually ascending for the 'hole distance ; and with the exception ef a short length of about miles, about 1 in 180, I do not believe there will be a greater inclination than what is generally admitted in forming railways in England." And, in regard to tie rest of the line, he says, that " although undulating, the road will not, I should think, be unfa vourable for locomotive engines." Fourthly.--The population of the parishes intersected by the Caledonian Railway, from the point where it leaves the route of the Glasgow, Dumfries, wnd Carlisle Railway at Gretna, to the point where the branches diverge at Lanark, a distance of about sixty. five miles, is, Caledonian Line . ..... Whilst the population on your line, between the same point and Kilmarnock, is . 80,686 Difference... 52,491 The population of the parishes on the two branches leading to Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively, including those on the Clydes dale Junction Line, as contrasted with the population of the parishes which lie up the West of Scotland Railways, at present terminating 4.1 Kilmarnock, and their proposed trenches (excluding, however, in both cases, the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, which would be alike accommodated by the two schemes), would be, Caledonian Branches 202,544 West of Scotland Railways Difference The total population o• the Caledonian Line, and on the Glas. gow, Dumfries, and Carlisle, sad Edinburgh, Hawick, and Carlisle Lines (excluding, as before, the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and that part of the line south of Gretna common to both), is, On Caledonian Radway On Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle 13ai1way,t2113,230 On Hawick Line Difference 195,551 The particulars of each of these calculations are annexed to this Report, so that there may be no possibility of doubt on the subject. Fifthly.—With regard to traffic, your Committee are *ow enabled to speak with mere confidence, in consequence of having, since the date of their Prospectus, taken measures to ascertain Rs amount accurately, both on your own and on the Caledonian Line. The result is, that upon the line of the Glasgow, Dusafriez, and Car lisle Railway, the thorough and local traffic, taken together. is suf. Mcient to ensure an adequate return; but the thorough traffic be tween Glasgow and England, including, of course, what passes along the road by Beattock, as well as what passes by the other great road from Kilmarnock to Carlisle, is quite insufficient to do so. It amounts to not more than 40 per cent. of the whole traffic which will pass along your line. Were the whole of this trans. (erred, without competition, to the Caledonian Line, on which the local traffic is trdling, it would not yield interest en its cost. Your Committee de not feel any hesitation in speaking of the small amount of local traffic on the Caledonian Line, because their statement is confirmed by the recorded opinion of the Royal Coro. missioners, already quoted ; and no one who has travelled along the Beattock.road between Carlisle and Glasgow, by daylight, will fail to remember that there are from twenty to thirty miles where the sight of a cottage or a human being is a rarity. Your Committee are aware that much reliance is placed by the Caledonian Company on their prospect of traffic from the north •f Scotland to England, by means of their connexion with the projected Central Railway from Stirling to Perth. The Table of Comparative Distances, to which your attention has already been directed, will enable yon to judge bow far this traffic, whatever its amount may be, is likely to pass along the Caledonian Line, which is more cir cuitous than either the North British Sr Hawick Lines. But, In point of fact, the number of persons who travel south from Stirling shire or Perthshire, without having occasion to visit Edinburgh and Glasgow on their way, is extremely small. Indeed, most of you are probably already aware, that although there is a direct turnpike road, laid out by the late Mr. Telford, between Carlisle and Stir ling, there is not a single stage-coach or puldlo conveyance upon it, 0001 rhe d ,miper Thio and it is deeply in debt. Os the other hand, with reference to toss general prospect of traffic on your own line, the following pge in the Report of Mr. Locke, in 1836, may be interesting to you :--:" Of the advan tage to all the towns in Scotland, through or near to which this line will pass, no adequate idea can be formed. They exist in the most favourable part of Scotland, requiring only a cheap means of trans. port to develope the many resources they possess. Several of these towns have already grown into some importance; and it should be an object with the proprietors of the soil, and with the manufac turers of the district, to encourage the formation of•ts road like the one proposed, so as to extend to them the benefits which it is capable of affording." Sixthly.—There are various other points in regard to which the superior advantages offered by the Edinburgh, Hawick, and Car. lisle Railway, and the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, require only to be briefly indicated. (I.) The former will *pen up a connexion between the counties of Berwick, Selkirk, Peebles, and Roxburgh, and the north-west of England, and sonth-west of Scotland. These Scotch counties already combine the highest state of agricultural improvement, with a growing woollen manu facture. (2.) In the neighbourhood of Langholm there are very rich seams of coal which are at present landlocked, but the produce of which the Hawick Line will be the means, not only of- bringing na the coast, but also of carrying farther into the interior,"which is at present suffering from the want of it. (3.) The Dumfries Line, by giving a communication both from the south and north, with the seaport of Annan, affords to the whole of that district of country the means of communication with the best harbour on the upper part of the Solway Frith. (4.) The Caledonian Line would, even if a branch were made to Dumfries, afford very inferior ac commodation to that town, and to the counties of Kircudbright and Wigton, from which a large number of cattle are at present sent, partly by sea and partly by land, to England. (5.) The Caledonian Line would, in like manner, afford a very inferior communication between the north of England and the north of Ireland, either (Lastly of Port Patrick er the seaports on the coasts of Ayrshire. (y.) The Caledonian Railway would place in a lets advan. tageous position the whole population of the counties of Ayr and Renfrew, which, together, eontain 319,428 inhabitants, being more than twice as many as the whole of Lanarkshire, exclud. ing Glasgow. After the details which ha ve now been given you, you will not be surprised to hear that the Caledonian Railway, while It receives a certain degree of support from the promoters of the Scottish Cen. tral Railway, is opposed by almo.t all the ether railway interests in Scotland, including the Edinburgh and Glasgow, the North British, the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr, the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle, and the lines extending through Fifeshire to the north of Scotland.: Indeed, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company have the ' strongest interest, and, at the same time, the strongest Parlia mentary grounds for opposing the Caledonian scheme, in conse quence of the two forks of the latter undertaking being so laid out L as to form a competing line for the traffic between Edinburgh and Glasgow, not more than eight or nine miles longer than the direct ' route, and thus falling tinder the class of schemes which the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Railways last session de nounced as unjustifiable, being a railway (to use their own words) " which, if it is to remunerate the proprietors at all, can only remunerate them by means of the abstraction of traffic, which is already, for all substantial purposes, equally well aceommodated by some existing railway." Your Committee regret much the length to which' their ob servations on the merits of your line, and those with which it has been placed in competition, have extended. They will endeavour to condense, into as short a space as possible, the remaining points which it is essential they should bring before yeti. You will recollect that the original rough estimate of the cast of the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, was at the rate of 13,0001. per mile. Mr. Miller, your engineer, has not completed the detailed plans of the works, so as to enable him to say whether any reduction can be made upon the estimate, but he assures your Committee that there is no chance of its being exceeded. The amount, therefore, which will be required t• finish your line, will be under 1,200,0001. Of this sum above four-fifths have been sub. scribed and paid on, being more than is required by the Standing Orders in Parliament to entitle your Bill to pass, even if you apply for your whole line from Kilmarnock to Carlisle ; whilst, if your Committee shall, on mature consideration, consent to the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr Railway Company proceeding with their Bill, to the effect of taking power to execute the portion of the Line between Kilmarnock and Cumneck, under an obligation to convey it or lease it in perpetuity to you, if yeti desire it, the amount which has been subscribed will be considerably more than is required. In these circumstances, your Committee have resolved not to issue at present any additional shares. Your Committee have had very satisfactory communications from most of the proprietors of land along the railway. They have also received assurances of support from many of the Corporations in the west of Scotland, and particularly from the towns of Dum. fries and Annan, in which both the magistrates and inhabitants have resisted various attempts to draw them off, and have unani. mously declared in your favour. The counties of Ayr, Renfrew, and Kircudbright, have also passed resolutions approving of your line. Pout• Committee have thus laid fblly before you the details of the entite scheme of railway communication from England to Scotland, of which your line forms a part. They feel perfect con fidenoe in its superiority over each other, as being beet calculated to promote the interests of Scotland ; and they will proceed quietly but realously, with their preparations for the approaching examine. tion of its merits before the Board of Trade and Parliament.

LOGIE, Interim.Bco. * In 1840 Mr. Locke prepared an amended plan, whereby hi• gradient of I in 75 was to some extent improved, but to accomplish this he was obliged to have recourse to severe cutting an banking, which would, of course, add proportionally to the expense of the line. + The summit Is only 600 feet.

A " Coat" and a " 'torrn'' met together one day With hostile intentions—ea we have heard say, The • artles had loiig been at odds, till at length They determined on having atrial of strength. An umpire was flx'd upon—namely, the wearer— A famous decision, for what could be fairer ? The " Storm" in a furs 'us manner began, But the well-button'd " Coat' stood his ground like a man. "Storm" treated the collar exceedingly rough, And rav'd at the pocket, the skirt and the cuff; Then he tried to tear open the seams of the back, But the firm, gallant " Coat" never yielded a crack. The " Storm" tried to drench bis opponent with rain, But the water-woof" Coat" prov'd his efforts were vain; And while he thus vainly endeavour'd to wet it, " Coat" cried, with a laugh, " Don't you wish you may get it?" The "Storm" after this was observ'd to give in, And the umpire seeing the garment would win, Deliver'd a speech which deserves to be read— And here's, word for word, what the gentleman said:— "This terrible battle," said he," has been won By you, Mr. Coat—thanks to M SES and SON.

GRAHAM'S BILL. A numerously attended and most respectable meeting of the general medical practitioners in London and Westminster, was held on Saturday evening, in the Ilanover-square Rooms, for the two fold object of forming themselves into an association for the better protection of their interests, and for the purpose of petitioning Government to grant them a charter of incorporation. Among other gentlemen on the platform we ob served Messrs. Pennington, Lavies, Wright, Massey, Morrah, Clayton,Dodd, Craddock, Bryant, Perigrine, Lucas, &c. &e. Mr. Pennington was called to the chair. The SECRETARY having read a number of letters from friends to the objects for which the meeting was called, added that it was in contemplation to unite the Marylebone with the General Association.—(Hear.) The CRAIRMAN then very briefly explained the objects which had called them together. He adverted to the probable effects which would be produced by the Bill of Sir James Graham, and dwelt upon the neces sity for a thorough co-operation in opposing the mea sure. He said, if the Bill were carried there would he an end to the respectability, as well as the efficiency, of the medical profession. It would be obnoxious to the public in other respects; but if it were only on that ground alone, it rendered it imperative for the profes sion to exert themselves to get up such an opposition as should ultimately defeat the measure. He called upon those gentlemen who would address the meeting after him, to urge the necessity of an extensive or ganisation amongst th e genera l practitioners, and to advocate modifications in the Apothecaries' Act. Mr. MOREAU then proposed the first resolution, " That this meeting is decidedly of opinion, that prior to the passing of any Bill for toe regulation of the practice of medicine and surgery, it is of the utmost im portance to the interests of the public that the general practitioners of medicine, surgery, and midwifery should be legally recognized, and placed in an inde pendent position ; and that the executive Government he respectfully and earnestly requested to suspend the further consideration of the Bill, laid before Parlia ment at the close of the last session, until this object has been attained." Which was seconded by Mr. PRODART ; who strongly denounced Sir James Graham's Bill, and said they ought to have a charter for themselves. The resolution was then put and carried unani mously. Mr. MASSEY, in moving the second resolution, " That in furtherance of the object of the former re solution it is the opinion of this meeting that an asso ciation should be immediately formed under the title of The Association of General Practitioners in Medi cine, Surgery, and Midwifery,'" said, the principles contained in it needed no advocacy to make it be re ceived by that meeting in the most cordial manner. It was seconded by Mr. SMITII, and, like the first, carried amid acclamation. Mr. FULLER moved the third resolution :—" That this association use its best efforts to obtain a com plete organization of the general practitioners, for the purpose of petitioning for a charter of incorporation, to be sanctioned by Act of Parliament, and for taking such other steps as circumstances may from time to time render necessary for the protection of their inte rests," which was seconded by Mr. Tegart, and sup ported by Dr. Webb. Mr. CLAYTON moved the fourth resolution :—" That the Society of Apothecaries be solicited to co-operate with this Association, in furthering the objects of the preceding resolution," which was seconded by Mr. Grant, and carried. Mr. FREEMAN proposed the fifth resolution : "That a Provisional Committee of thirty-one mem bers, with power to add to its number, and of which not ess than seven shall form a quorum, be elected by this meeting to carry the objects of the foregoing re solution into effect; also to frame laws for the consti tution and government of the Association, to be sub mitted to a general meeting for its approval. Mr. LUCAS seconded, and Mr. T. H. CoorEß, sup ported it. He had not at first intended to address the meeting, but a paper had been put into his hand from which he thought it advisable to read an extract, and to which he craved their undivided attention. It was extracted from a medical paper, published in Dublin, and speaking of the Lancet, and the profession in Eng land. The writer said : " The articles in the Lancet, both original and com municated, afford a melancholy proof of the brutal and degraded condition of the lower order of medical tradesmen in England.—(Laughter and hisses.) We are not quite satisfied that the safety of the community demands that such fellows should be placed under efficient control and surveillance, as the temper and spirit they display fully proves that they are an igno rant, uneducated,:Ungovernable race, utterly unfit to be entrusted with the duty of soberly and honestly treating disease, or to have the lives of people placed at their mercy." The reading of the paragraph was frequently inter• rnpted by derisive cheers and laughter. Dr. Baovvu moved—" That the Provisional Com mittee be empowered to fcrm an union with this Association of the diffocut societies of general prac titioners, in town and country, instituted for general objects, and that upon its formation one of its first duties shall be to petition the Legislature against the re-introduction of Sir James Graham's Bill, and to use every means against its passing through Par liament:" which, having been seconded, was adopted unanimously, and a Committee of Gentlemen was ap pointed to carry out the objects of the foregoing resolutions. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meet ing broke up. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW RAlLWAYS.—Saturday last has proved the most memorable 30th of November recorded in the history of the railway world-220 notices and plans of new rails were that night deposited on the shelves of the Board of Trade. Such a hurried, des perate week, as the last of November was never known. Engineers, solicitors, surveyors, litho graphers, engravers, slept only two nights out of six. Strings of cabs and carriages might be seen in long file at the doors of all engaged in the fray ; and as evening closed in, these were exchanged for travelling chaises and four fleet posters, ready to drive as fast as hoof and purse would carry, to anti cipate, if even by a second, the stroke of the mid night bell. Many of the plans have been deposited in a very imperfect state—some have not been deposited at all, or at least too late. Bat on the whole it is not too much to say that so extreme haste in surveying lines and getting ready for Parliament, was never before known. And now, what are Parliament and the Board of Trade to do? The latter have now to examine, un derstand, compare, consider, and decide, the contend ing claims of 220 lines. We have begun to lay some of them down on our map, and already it is a confused unintelligible maze. The question now is how to get rid of half or two-thirds of the lines. The Standing Orders will not do it, for people—aye, and good people —have actually subscribed all the money, and are ready to subscribe more. Besides some of the very best lines may be those which have not, in some respects, complied with Standing Orders. We hear that the Board of Trade are in despair, and that all men are looking for some way out of the difficul ties arising from this deluge of schemes.—Railway Chronicle. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE. The condition of the workmen engaged in the hosiery trade remains much the same. The cut-up hose branch, which, a few months since, was appa rently in a flourishing state, has now become the most depressed ; employment is very scarce, and no thing but complaints are heard on all sides, not only from the stockingers, but from the females engaged in this manufacture. The wrought-hose branch, though depressed, is something better than the cut-ups, but even those employed in this branch are suffering severely. The fine branch, that is, above 40-gauge cotton stockings, experiences much duller demand than those under that quality, though the coarse cotton hose branch, under 30-gunge, is extremely depressed in this district. The drawer and pantaloon branch is, if possible, worse than ever, It is natural to inquire, if these men are stopped and are unemployed, what has become of them ? We have made an investigation, and are assured that the stock ingers resort into the neighbouring counties, and have recourse to mendicity an d o th er means t o o b ta i n sub sistence, not being willing to submit to the workhouse while they can subsist by any other means. The silk hosiery trade is gradually declining. As for plain silk hese and knotted hose, once the mainstay of Nottingham, they have become so flat as to employ but few workmen. The silk glove branch, though suffer ing severely, is, upon the whole, rather better than the other two branches. The bobbin-net trade is admitted on all hands to be extremely dull, and nets cannot be sold with any degree of facility. The machine owners however, no sooner find that they cannot sell their laces, than they attempt to make new patterns, which stopping their machines, they cease to produce. As for changing the cards with facility in patterns made with the jacquard apparatus, experience has proved that the changing a pattern causes a great hindrance in arranging the guide bars or guide brasses, and that a considerably less quantity is produced for every alteration. The silk warp lace trade, like every other branch of British silk manufacture, is in a very gloomy state ; and were it not that a certain portion of the warp frames are engaged in making cotton lap and press figured stripes, the situation of workmen would be indeed deplorable. In all the numerous branches of the hosiery and lace manufactures, there is only one that may be said to be in a tolerably healthy state, namely, the cotton tatting lace, in which branch the hands are fully empleyed.—Nottingham Review. The return published in Friday night's Gazette of the proceedings of the Bank of England, for the week ended the 6th instant, shows a further increase in the stock of bullion held by the institution. The amount, according to the present return, is 14,558,3361. against 14,365,590/. eehibited in that of the week preceding, the difference being 192,7461. The exchanges, though scarcely so high on Friday on some of the leading points of the Continent as they have been, continue decidedly favourable to this country, and, should the ordinary course of business not be interfered with by the action of foreign loans on the Money market, of which there are indications, it seems probable that there will be a further influx of the pre cious metals. The French loan is the principal financial operation in progress, and although the instalments into which it is to be divided will be spread over a long period of time, yet it is not by any means impossible that, of the portion taken by English capitalists, a good part may be remitted to Paris by anticipation. The great plenti fulness of money at the present time renders such a course the more convenient, indeed, as well as profitable, and therefore the more likely. The French railways will absorb a large amount of British capital ; the finan cial schemes of Holland and Belgium will also create a certain demand, nor can it be doubted that a fair propor tion of the large: mass of Three per Cent. Stock now in the process of emission at Madrid will, by some means, whether direct or indirect, be made to replace a corres ponding amount of English treasure. The effect of the various operations glanced at will, in a few weeks' time, be more clearly developed. So great an array of de mands on the one hand, and a rate of interest reduced to the low figure of 2} per cent. on the other, are points in the review of our monetary concerns that should not be lost sight of. It is not the banks alone that will have to be vigilant, for, should it become necessary, by and bye, for the Threadneedle-street establishment to raise its rate of interest and contract its accommodation, prices will inevitably be affected. It cannot be supposed that Consols will then stand at a premium, or that the value generally of share property can be supported. The joint-stock interests, under the altered state of things supposed, will, however, if past experience be a fair guide to go by, suffer not only first in point of time, but by far the most severely. A warning to share speculators is, accordingly, especially requisite when, with so many threatening symptoms in the distance, the markets have become so unusually, not to say unreasonably inflated Post. CHANGE RlNGlNG.—Yesterday (Sunday), on the occasion of two sermons preached at St. John the Evangelist, Waterloo-road, Lambeth, by the Rev. Messrs. Irvine and Johnstone, on behalf of the Penny Cothing Society, a most beneficial ono to the numerous poor of that populous parish, the church ringers rang a true and complete peal of grandsiro trebles, containing 5,040 changes in the short time of three hours and three mi nutes.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. 6.—We have had a very flat week in sugar, and the sales reported are under 100 hhds; prices being with difficulty supported. Nothing doing in other descriptions of sugar. Rum dull, but the supply offering is small.—Bristol Mercury. ORIGINAL HARWICH RAILWAY.—It appears that this Company is the only one in a condition to enter the lists next session. Whatever party may be successful, there can be no doubt that the Government plan of con verting Harwich into a steam-boat harbour must be highly advantageous to a railway.—Railway Record. STATE OF TRADE.—The demand, except with the I houses who travel, is much in the same state, the orders received being very small. A great many hands are out of employ. There is no prospect of any amount of business being done for the spring trade of the United States. Wool still remains firm, and yarns are not selling, at reduced rates, to any extent.—Leicestershire Mercury. POACHING.—The poachers, or some person or per sons, at present unknown, have made a good haul of at least 500 pheasants from the plantations of Sir E. Ker. rison, round and near the Oakley Mansion. An investi gation has taken place, but the robbers have not yet been discovered.-IVorfclk Chronicle. Immense quantities of cod-fish have been caught off this town—about a mile or two out—during the pre sent week.

HOMICIDE.—We regret to state that, on Wednes day night last, a dispute arose between two brothers-in law, in the town of hilkcel, which h ad a fatal termina tion. The names of the parties are Kinney and MTadden. The altercation became so violent, anti passion Ivas much excited, that the former lilted up a beetle and struck the other a heavy blow, which killed him on the . spot.—Defrn &carder.
