The sales of Cotou at Livorpoor yesterday were estimated a' 6,000 bales, of which 700 Surat were taken on speculatinn. The marke , , closed very firm.—ln Railway Shares a good husUiess was done at full prices. The progress of the public sales of Coliminal Wool has been noticed under this head, and the result, being considerable interest we now give it a,riderding to the version of Messrs. Daniel. Hazard end: Bon. " These gales, commenced with the largest attendance ce buyers ever known; among theoe from the Continent there were the usual number from France and Belgium, but not so many from Germany. The prices paid on the first day indicated an advance 64: about let. rer lb. over the former mks, which ended 20th Septem ber; as the sales continued the same spirit, and even firmer prices, have been meintained. The quantity o! Cape of Good Hope Wool alas nnusuaily large in proportion to those from the other - colonies, which may account for their not realizing quits so large a proportion of the advance as the latter, which may be considered full Id. to Ild. per lb. Front the active operations going on in the manufacturing dis tricts, consuming all description of wool almost ES fast as it is imported, very short stocks of any kind are suffered to remain in first hands, C 0133 0, fluently thi3 continuous demand at once accounts for the steadily increasing prices which have been going on for now some months pest; and to ell appearance our prospects of a good trade for some time to come are favourable to the confident expectation of present priee6 being fully maintained in the coming year." Tim private letters from the Continent are still of an 'encouraging nature, arid there seems scarcely any latent, apPrehension even of a war. The most annoying cir cumstance COW is the indispensable payment cf the heavy demsges, and that this will sorely press upon the re sources of cho different Goa-crim - rite is well understood. As to the extraordinary outlay being met by the current income, such a desirable consummation is by no means anticipated, but of the various couetries that have been exhausting their present means, Prussia undoubtedly stands the best chance of speedily rightieg herseif, and from test smallness of its debt, and the economy of its financial administra tion, would experience very litho d.fficulty in obtaining upon satisfactory terms a loae to aey reasonable amount. It is on eecount of the certainn), of loans paint; contracted. or attempted, that we p!ano Ices relicece in the prospect of money being cheapened than we otherwise should do. The, abundant supplies of gore! and silver from America will do something to furnish additional mean, but when Governments , borrow they require speedy payment, cud capitalists fled it easy nuil proti 'able to enhance for a tittle the value of cash. That the mere borrow ing money by Government nets for any length of time upon discounts, &e., may be disputed, and with the counteraction of the increased gold proiiuction in California the effect would even be more limited, lint any one who approaches the subject impartially must f.,e sensible that the relative value of the precious metals is undergoing a change of which we can scarcely esti mate the issue. The idea that gold is not depreciated by enhanced production is so untenable that it is sur prising such should be entertained, but Out there are parties who, in the early stage of the Cali fornian discoveries, Were strenuous in denying that any material influence . would be felt, is known to every reader of the dairy press. We have seen already what has been done by Holland and Bel gium in calling in the gold coinage, and are not sur prised to hear now of the French Government conteni plating a similar measure. Wherever silver is the legal tender it is evident that ail possible exertion will be used to increase its volume by sending gold to other countries for its purchase, and how linglaed is to con tinuo paying a higher price for , gold than it is really worth, in the face, too, of a probable continued decline, is matter far grave reflection. The quotations on the Frankfort Bonne, on the 7th inst, were 731 to 74 far Austrian .Mete.llics, and 33 11-16 to 15-16 for Spanish Three per Cents. The English Stock Market has been very buoyant, and the quotations are up to per cent. again. The very sanguine hopes entertained that the conferences about to commence in Germany will go off satisfactorily, and that, in fact, the most dif ficult questions have already been adjusted. inspires the hope that there will bo really very little to settle. Conaola have been quoted 978 to 98k for Transfer, and 98,` 1 - to for Account. Exchequer-hills have been 645. to 67a. premium.

The following is the address agreed to at the pub lic meeting held at the Guildhall on the 25th ult., and which was presented to her Majesty this morn• ing : " TO THE QUEENS MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty the undersigned, merchants, bankers, traders, and other citizens of Lon don, desire humbly to cpproach your Majesty with the assurance of our sincere and unabated loyalty towards your Royal throne and person. We have seen with surprise and indignation the proceeding recently taken by the Bishop of Rome for establishing ecclesiastical dioceses in this kingdom, and appointing archbishops and bishops to preside over the same. "We regard this proceeding as au invasion of the royal prerogative, attack on the Constitution of this free country, and au attempt at internal interference therein wholly inconsistent with our national independ , once. "We humbly believe, and we acknowledge with de vout thankfulness, that the great advancement made by this nation during the last three centuries in all the ele ments of national strength is, under God's blessing, owing to the deliverance of this country from the baneful influ ence of foreign ecclesiastic domination, and the evils of a divided allegiance. "We also feel it our bounden duty humbly to repre sent to yuur Majesty that we view with indignation and alarm the extensive promulgation and introduction of Romish principles and practices into the service of the Established Church by many of the clergymen of this and other dioceses, end to express our belief that not only has great encouragement been thereby given to this aggression upon your Majesty's prerogative, but that equal danger to the Protestant faith is . to be apprehended from unfaithful teaching within the Church tts from open hostility from without. " We pray God to bless your Majesty in all things, and so to endue your Majesty's councillors with grace, wisdom, and understanding, that the interests of pure and undefiled religion may ever be upheld in this land, as the only true safeguard of the Crown and of the people. " We believe the present proceedings of the Roman Pontiff to be dictated by a desire gradually to restore that foreign domination, our deliverance from which has bren scaled by the blood of the martyrs of the Re formation. " We, therefore, earnestly pray your Majesty to take such measures on this occasion as may effectively uphold the Ro) al authority, vindicate the independence of the State, and repel all attempts, direct or indirect, to in vade that article of the British Constitution, which de clares,---' That no foreign prince, person, prelate, state, or potentate, bath, or ought to have, any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence, or authority, ecclesi w.tieal or spiritwil, within this realm.'

['We are indebted to the Morning Post for an early copy of her Majesty's answer, it having arrived before our own] : The journey from Slough to Windsor Castle was per formed in rather ices than an hour, and the procession entered the Castle Yard at a quarter-past 12 o'clock. The carriages set down at the grand entrance, from whence the company were conducted by the Master of the Ceremonies up to the grand staircase, which was lined with Yeomen of the Guard. The Lord Mayor and Corporation then passed through the suite of apart ments leading to the Throne Room, in which his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and all the Great Officers of State were awaiting the arrival of the deputation. The various rooms and corridors were lined by the Hon. Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, under the command of Lord Foley. Her Majesty having taken her seat upon the throne, the Court of Aldermen of the City of London, headed by the Lord Mayor, and attended by the Recorder, the Town Clerk, and various other civic officials, were in troduced. The Lord Mayor, advancing to the foot of the throne, then had the honour of presenting to her Majesty the Address agreed to by the Court of Aldermen, which The Right lion. the Recorder read as follows: " To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " Most Gracious Sovereign, " Vie your Majesty's loyal and dutiful subjects, the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the city of London; hum bly approach your Majesty on no ordinary occasion. "Deeply grv.teful to Almighty:God for his many blessings bestowed upon this highly-favoured nation, we acknowledge amongst the chief, the restoration of the Protestant faith by the Reformation and the national vindication of those great principles of Civil and Reli gious Liberty, for the defence and maintenance of which • your illustrious House was called to the Throne of these realms. " We learn, with feelings of surprise and indignation, that the Bishop of Rome has recently issued a bull, whereby he net only presumes to partition this country into pretended dioceses of the Church of Rome, but at toe tame time assumes the right of appointing Arch bishops and Bishops of such sees, and conferring upon there territorial titles and ecclesiastical jurisdiction, all which we deem to be inconsistent with . the principles of our Constitution in Church and State, end 'invasion of your Majesty y s royal supremaCy, au' =acclaim usurpa ion of your Majesty's tfieregative''orabote bestowing tities'ef honour, and a grieVeuS , in . sult 'to thiS Protestant cation, ' For remedy whereof wo earnestly entreat that your Majesty will direct such measures to be taken as in your royal window shall seem expedient, assuring your Ala- EVENING,DECEM 13 ER 10, lBbo. uEs jesty that you may ever confidently rely on the affec tionate and cordial supp:at of a loyal, united, and reli gious "We further humbly acquaint your Majesty that we we view with feelings of enxiety end alarm, the introduction of late years of Romish principles and peoctices, and the unauthorized revival of many obsolete forms of the worship and minis tration of our own Reformed National Church by some clergymen in this and other dioceses, and humbly express our firm conviction that great encou ragement has been thereby given to that act of usurpa tion and aggression against which we now protest, while it is our belief that greater danger to the Protestant Church is to be apprehended from unfaithful teaching than from open hostility. " We p ray that it may please Him by whom Kings reign and Princes decree judgment, long to preserve your Majesty to be the Defender of the Faith against every assault from without, and, every desertion from within, arid that under your Majesty's gentle and benig nant away, Pence and Happiness, Truth and Justice, Religion and Piety, may be established in these realms. Her Najesty listened with marked attention while the document was being read, and appeared to express her approval of the sentiments it enunciated by a gentle inclination of the head as the Recorder proceeded. The ret ding of the document having been complete 3 the Lord. Mayor again advanced and presented the Ad dress to :her Majesty, who handed it to the Home Se cretary. Her Mejesty then, in a firm yet musical voice, delivered /he following emphatic reply:— " My Lord Mayor and Gentlemen, " I receive with much satisfaction your loyal and af feetionate, address. "I heartily concur with you in your grateful acknow ledgment of the many blessings conferred upon this favoured nation, and in your attachment to the Protes tant faith, and to the great principles of civil and reli gious liberty in defence of which the city of London has ever been conspicuous. " That faith and those principles are so jastly dear to the people of this country, that I confickntly rely on their cordial support in upholding and maintaining them, against any danger with which they may be threatened, from whatever quarter it may proceed." Sir Pete r Laurie, the mover, and Mr. Alderman Fare brother, iltie tic - cornier of the address, were then intro duced to h.er Majesty by the Lord Mayor, after which the deputation retired from the Royal presence. The deputation from the Court and Common Council, headed by Mr. John Wood and Mr. W. Blake were next introsiuced, and the former gentleman having pre sented the Address from this body to the Queen upon, the Throw., Her Majesty replied as follows : " Gentlemen, "I sincerely thank you for your renewed assurances of unaltered attachment to my person and throne, and to the Coinstitution of this country. " Your tried an d co n s istent advocacy of the equal en joyment of civil rights by all classes of your fellow subjects, entitle the expression of your sentiments on the present occasion to peculiar consideration. " You may be assured of my earnest desire, and firm determint,tion, under God's blessing, to maintain unira paired the religious liberty which is justly prized by the peopl4* of this country, and to uphold, as its surest safeguard, the pure and spiritual worship of the Pro testant Faith, which has long been happily established in this land." HAYMARKET THEATRE. King John has always been esteemed one of Mr. Macready's finest parts. He played it last night in his most effective manner, exhibitieg the meanuesses, vacillations, and infirmities of mind which go to make up this ably drawn historical portrait with his usual discriminative variety. This personation is too well known to need any panegyric now. No actor has ever delineated the shifting and petulant wilfulness ef the king with a greater warmth of colour than Mr.Ma cready; for no one has addressed himself so immediately to the development of its minutest shades and con trasts. His delivery of the speech to Hubert when he concerts the murder of Arthur is a superb passage of acting—an exquisite portrayal of the morot turpi tude which charecterises the monarch, and the de liberate and specious cunning with which he corn passes the death of the prince, The whole of this scene is full of subtle beauties; and the deadly artfulness of his appeal, his eager, quivering look, as he watches the working of his half-indicated wishes, and his relaxation into a sort of hysterical merriment when the rugged chamberlain with measured emphasis yields an assent, is replete with significance and purport. This and the closing scene—one of the most painful illustrations of phy sical agony we know of—have hitherto been the most prominent features of the performance, and last night Mr. Macready exerted himself to paint them as deeply and as vividly as he did twenty years ago. But the great incident of the evening was the celebrated interview with the legate from the Pope. The frequency with which the memorable defiance of the Papal mandate has been quoted of late, and the concurrent spirit of Protestant repudiation in which the public receive it, promised an excitement of no common kind. The moment the red hat of the cardinal was perceived a howl of execration ran through the house, but he was enabled to get through his open ing speech in tolerable quiet. Nothing, however, could exceed the vehemence with which the fiery rejoinder of the King was echoed by the audi ence, though unfortunately the great point of the passage was drowned in the hurricane of accla mations which the irritability of the audience would no longer suffer them to withhold. It is needless to say that the antipathy of the spectators was not concealed whenever the legate showed his face. The tragedy has seldom been better cast as a whole. Mrs. Warner has always been an emphatic and impassioned Constance, and she delineated the grief of the unhappy mother of Arthur with telling force. The male personages were well supported. Mr. Davenport's Falconbridge, though wanting in the grace and nobility which belonged to Charles Kern hie's personation, was nevertheless manly and chivalric, and the Hubert of Mr. Cooper was intelligent and im pressive. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Macready was called for, and also Mr. Davenport. The Court of Lieutenancy of the City of London were next introduced; and having presented their address, her Majesty acknowledged the same in a very gracious manner. The Universities of Oxford and Cambridge followed with their respective addresses, and it was after two. o'clock before the ceremony of presentation had concluded. The Queen was generally remarked to be looking exceedingly well. Her Majesty was attended by the Viscountesa Canning. Nothing could have beta more admirably managed than the whole arrangement for the presentation. Not the slightest interruption or delay occurred, and on who evur the management devolved, it is impossible to give them too much credit for the excellent manner in which their duties were performed. Mr. Inspector Field, with Sergeants Thornton and Whither of the Detective Force, were in attendant at the Castle, in addition to the ordinary Royal police-officers under Inspector Howie. A Guard of Honour, composed of a company of the Coldstream Guarde, under Colonel Clitheroe, with the band and colour, were stationed in the quadrangle of the Castle. during the arrival of the deputation. THE DUKE OF NORFOLK ON PA PAL AGGRESSION. We have just received a copy of the second edition of Mr. Parton Cooper's pamphlet on the late edict of the Court of Rome, containing a copy of a letter written by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk to Lord Beaumont, and of which the importance at the pre sent moment can hardly be exaggerated, as indicating the opinions of the Premier Peer of England and of the Roman Catholic aristocracy of this country. The letter is as follows : " Arundel Castle, Nov. 28,1850. "My dear Lord—l bo entirely coincide with the opi nion of your letter to Lord Z2tland, that I must write to you to express my agreement with you. " I should think that many must feel as we do, that ultramontane opinions are totally incompatible with allegiance to our Sovereign and with our Constitution. " I remain, my dear Lord, faithfully yours, " Noitroui.." THE SEA GULL. (From the Lady's Newspaper.) He holdeth not the proud dominion Of all air's wide array ; He bath no eagle's powerful pinion, Nor skylark's thrilling lay.

His home is in no elm or willow, Nor grove by zephyrs fanned ; But the lone rock where breaks the billow In fury on the strand. He heedeth not the lightning's flash, Nor thunders moaning near; Nor mad commotion in the mighty ocean, Nor shipwreck wakes his fear.

Having dined and taken tea with the family, be went to bed at eleven, desiring to be called about nine o'clock next morning, as he wished to leave for Bristol. The landlady, however, on going up stairs at that time, and having shook the door, and called out several times to the deceased without getting any reply, had the door burst open, when cu entering the room she found him dead, lying flat on his back, his head under a table, his right hand near his necker chief, and his left band placed on his left breast, covering a wound which was afterwards found to have been made by a ' bullet which had passed through his heart. The room was covered with blood, and a duelling pistol was found near the unfortunate man's left hand, also covered with blood. Two soldiers who had slept in the next room—only a few feet apart from the deceased, declare they never heard any report of a pistol or other sound to arouse their suspicions. The deceased appeared in excellent spirits throughout the pre vious day, and gave his address as Mr. T.

The Grand Quadrille of All Na- ply the best mutton, the best beef, and the best bacon tions concluded the performance. The concert was to the inhabitants of London: We are far from say very well attended. ing that these last are altogether excluded ; and a glance at the list of prizes (which we subjoin) will show that many of our beet-known feeders have met with the success which they deserve. Still, practical men, looking at the result, would, we suspect, be disposed to think that several great names occur ' therein somewhat too often. The show is particu. larly strong in Leicester sheep and in crosses. It has improved greatly also in the display of Devors, in which hitherto it has been deficient. Mr. Heath's Hereford ox and Mr. Gecch's short-horned heifer, each the winner of a gold medal, deserve the particu lar notice cf all who visit the exhibition, and will, no doubt, become great favourites and be well "handled" during the next few days. The pen of South Down sheep belonging to Mr. Williams, and of Leicesters belonging to Mr. Foljambe, will also attract notice ; but, betides these, visitors will not fail to notice the splendid crosses for which a prize has been awarded to Mr. J. R. Overman, and ,the thee Cotswold sheep of Mr. R. Bernard. The exhibition of pigs, seldom the least attractive part of the annual display at the Baker-street Bazaar, is not likely this year to lose any of its usual interest. Here Mr. Fisher Hobbs still maintains his ascendancy, and, whatever ques tion may be raised as to the value of his stock for breeding purposes, it is impossible to look at them without being satisfied that they must make most delicate food. Of late there appears to be a strong disposition in the pig breeders of the country to claim each for himself a .special variety of that animal. The consequence is a degree of confusion and mysti fication as to what really is the pure porcine blood of England that would puzzle even the ingenuity of the College of Heralds. Every exhibitor recognises in the pen of his neighbour his own favourite form of grunter, and, while nearly all are striving to secure the largest amount of meat on the smallest amount of bone, it is to be feared that the original vigour and healthiness of the species are greatly impaired. Apart from the list of' prizes, there are some few animals in the show which deserve a passing notice. At the head of these must be placed " a four years and six months old cross-bred heifer, between the Scotch highland cow and the Brahmin bull, bred by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and fed on grass, chaff, barleymeal, oilcake, and roots." This singular beast differs no less in shape than in temper from his companions, having a buffalo hump, drooping behind like a mule, and launching out its heels with great dexterity at almost everybody who came within reach of it. Another point which struck us in the cattle department of the exhibition was that there was but one specimen of the polled Galloway breed exhibited—that breed, such large numbers of which are brought annually to the eastern counties to fatten, and thence sent into the London market. There is hardly any more favourite or more profitable descrip tion of cattle than this ; but the Norfolk graziers e mplain that there is now great difficulty in getting them at a reasonable price and of good quality. The animal referred to is exhibited by Mr. Heath, and is a remarkably fine ox. . Another and quite a novel feature of the present show is the introduction of a specimen of Dutch stock, which, however, without any prejudice towards foreigners, it must be admitted cuts but a sorry figure. It may convey some consolation to the friends of agriculture to state that the Speaker of the House of Commons is a contributor on the present occasion of " a pen of three 21 weeks and two days old im proved Essex Heckfield pigs, bred by himself, and fed on barley meal, pollard, and skimmed milk." We re gret to say that the Right Bon. Gentleman has not been a successful competitor, but he may console him self, as Sir John Conroy and other distinguished feeders have been equally disappointed. To all who take an interest in the quality of animal food, and in the, quantity of it which can with comfort to the cattle themselves and with benefit to man be produced from one beast—to all who wish fully to understand with what materials the Christmas hospitalities of London are furnished forth, we recommend a visit to the Baker street Bazaar. Let them patiently read how so many fat oxen, cows, sheep, and pigs have been fed, how unsparingly every variety of provender has been supplied to them, how sumptuously they have fared while their masters have been ruined by free trade. The Smithfield Club is as tenacious of life as the market, though the public has not the same interest in its death. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompaßied by the Prince of 'Wales and Prince Alfred, visited the show yester day morning, at eleven o'clock ; and, after a stay of more than an hour, left highly delighted with all they saw.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING, 1851.—1 t is necessary to inform those who intend to nominate horses for the Me tropolitan Handicap, that their present ages should be given, not their ages on the Ist of January. DEATH OF CAPTAIN BBAELEY.—The announce ment of the death of this gentleman, who was so highly esteemed as a man and valued as a seaman, will be re ceived, as it is recorded, with the deepest regret. The melancholy event took place on Saturday last, on board the Dublin steamer Princess, of which vessel Captain Bcazley was commander, whilst she was on her passage from Dublin to this port, Between Dublin and Kingstown Captain Beazley, when near to the companion stairs, was suddenly seized with a pain in his side. The symptoms rapidly became alarming, the mete immediately took the command and put into Kingstown to procure medical assistance, but Captain Bcazley died whilst being taken on shore. The body. after a surgical examination, was re-conveyed on board the Princess and brought to Liverpool. Captain Beazley was 58 years of age, and was, we believe, in his used health at the time he left Dublin.—Liverpool Albion. THE UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM-BSWTB.-MTh• United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Comstock, com mander, will sail from the Mersey on Saturday next.

The steam-ship Atlantic, West, commander, to leave new York en Saturday, and will probably arrive in the Mersey in the course of Wednesday week.— Liverpool Albion. IKON AND GLASS BUILDINGS.—Permit me to sug gest that an exhibition of designs for ferrivitreous edifices (to coin a word) in the Exhibition of 1851 would be appro priate. There can, 1 think, be little difference of opinion as to the effect the great Exhibition will have in giving im petus to the con , truction of buildings of a like character. I think it probable that Russia, at least, will desire to possess scmething like, if not more extensive than, our glass build ing: The Emperor intends to visit it, it is said, in person. It is not beyond the compass of possibility that a structure of glass and iron will one day exhibit to the beholder the flora of the universe, as the great glass case will the works of art of the whole world. There is a wide scope far the dia. play of artistic taste, skill, and genius, in this new kind of edificaticn.—Correspondent of chi Builder
