In a "°lllruercial point of view, the starch represents a considerable Portion of the value o f th e po t a t o , a lth oug h i t i s not pre „;,4,t in as large a quantity in the unsound as in those to uich are free from disease. The extraction tubers is simple, and ar 'lBists in en .proc:eSSes which we need not here describe, as they the current p u bli ca ti ons o f th e d a y, an d i n d ee d k.i re a`:(3 , practised in most parts of th e country. t e ,„.

It is also to be remarked, that the inaining after the extraction of the starch from the tbre_ciPotatoes contains a considerable quantity of nutri orl'oaterial ; and as the decomposing substance is, to a kip % e ‘ s , . extent, washed out during the preparation, the ' 'ivhen dried, be applied with confidence to the • ri s h 74ete d cent of animals. Further, if the dried starch. ex volp, r e'ut the potato, be mixed up with the dry residual tat material material will be produced really representing the e 4,4 ' equivalent to it as food, and, if dry, capable of Preserved for a considerable length of time ; it, of r cust be prep are d f or use by coo ki ng o r baking in the • way. scal e i „ e li m:oufacture of the pulp and starch, on an extensive tousid:' accordance with these suggestions, we venture to cip er .,i'r worthy of your Excellency's attentioa.

EiPLOSION OF THE BRIG BLUNDELL.. —On Saturday the brig Blundell, which was run down on the I lth of November last, off the Magazines, was exploded with a charge of 3001bs. of gun powder, which was placed in a cask ten feet from the stern, and alongside the keel. There was a depth of water of about 65 feet at that part of the river in which the Blundell lay. The explosion took place at twelve o'clock, by galvanic batteries, under the direction of Captain Crawley, of the R o y a l Engineers, and Mr. Arthur, manager of the Steam-tug Company. Several merch nits and ship owners were present on the oc,usion ; amongst others, Sir T. Braneker, Mr. Cotesworth, Mr. 11. P. Chapman, Mr. Alder man Nicol, and Lieutenant Lord. It will be remembered that the Blundell, which had sailed for Trinidad, was put ting back in a disabled state, when she came in contact with the FeronLa, from Quebec, which was at anchor. Shortly after the disrister the Steam-tug Company endeavoured to raise the wreck, and succeeded in r emovin g her from her original position to one which would be attended with less danger to the navigation of the river. The Tug Coinpany being unsuccessful In their endeavours to remove her entirely ly Means of their own apparatus, the conser vators of the river sent lighters and machinery of greater capacity ; bet the second and subsequent efforts made. to remove her were equally unsuccessful. tinder these circumstances the conservators applied to the Steam -tug Company t 0 destroy her with gunpowder, and the result has billy answered the expectations of all parties.

We cheerfully admit that some, both of the slaveholders and slaves, have nobly resisted these in-. fluences and shown us virtues winch we should be proud to imitate; but we know that the prevailing tendency of the system is nevertheless evil, and that it must always offer manifold temptations and inevitable occasions to sin. Because this system, as the indispensable condition of its continuance, must restrict education, keep the Bible from the slave, make life insecure in the hands of irresponsible power, deprive female innocence of protection, sanction adultery, tear children from parents and husbands from wives, violate the divine institution of families, and by hard and hopeless toil make existence a burden. PRIVY COUNCIL. NOVEMBER I.—A. Privy Council assembled at the Castle at four o'clock this afternoon, and sat in delibera tion for about three-quarters of an hour. The object of the meeting has not trail:Tired; but it is supposed that it relates to the condition of the potato crop, and with a view of taking into consideration the various suggestions upon the subject which have been laid before Govern ment during the present we-k. Because slavery, as all history testifies, eats out the heart of nations, and tends every year more and more to sear the popular conscience and impair the virtue of the people. It neutralizes the influence which we ought to exert on the world as a nation whose mission it is to extend the principles of political freedom. It degrades our national character, making us, appear before mankind as solemn hypocrites, who declare " that all men are equal," and yet persist in holding a portion of them as slaves—who de clare " that all are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," and et take these rights from a sixth part of their own community.

Abe sustenance IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE MANUFACTURE OF Suac.-4 shield:lr, and to the ladies a:very important defect, appears to exist in the manufacture of silk. From thne to time scientific efforts have been unsuccessfully made to ascertain the cause. The most remarkable feature lit the mystery was, that not only was the cause unknown, but there existed no means of distinguishing those fabrics which contained the evil from those which did not. During the wear of the silk the defect comes forth, and the dress gradually assumes a greasy appearance, as though it had been rubbed with an oily brush. The reason has at length been ascertained, the discovery having heen made in the house recently occupied by Messrs. Rundell and Bridge, the opulent jewellers upon Ludgate-hill, the disc•.mverer being Mr. George Smith, of the late firm of Everington, who it is to be hoped, after he has been fairly rewarded, will adopt the patriotic course of making the secret known to the - roanufactiners of his coun try, who would thereby be enabled to produce a superior fabric to that of the French—the latter country b!aink in the same dilemma in Mug to tuts defect, I GRATIS." RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Nov. 1. of a higher and more costly description than that which it re places. But in the great corn-growing countries the scarcity seems already to be felt with equal, if 11.)t greater, intensity. In Lithuania, in the Ukraine, and in the Baltic provinces, bands of famishing peasants are said to scour the country and force the barns in which their landlords are seeking to preserve the supply ofthe coming year ; and the Russian Go vernment is accused, upon authority which we cannot discredit, of the most inconceivable hardness and indifference 'to the fate of this wretched population. But under any circum stances it is inevitable that the poorest countries must suffer most from such a trial. Their primitive agriculture is less able to resist the inclemency of a bad season. The want of means of transport prevents the distribution of food. All suliplits from foreign markets are shut out; and even their own growth is drawn to better markets abroad. Their habi tual and entire reliance on their own produce for their total subsistence is now their •total ruin. The habitual abste miousness which their poverty imposes on them is their only advantage. In all these respects our position is int-:om parably superior to that of any other country ; and, though the evil may exist here as well as abroad, we are far better provided with the means of palliating it. In spite, or rather in consequence, of the inferiority of climate, the agriculture of England and Scotland. leaves less to the accidents of weather than that of regions more favoured by the sun, and in point of fact, we believe it will be found that we have suffered less by this season than any other people of Europe. Then we have the greatest imaginable facilities of transport, and of exchange. Already orders for food have been sent within the last few weeks to every part of the globe ; and we have no doubt, assuming that the laws regu lating the importation of grain have been meanwhile adapted to the wants of the people, that the supply at the present prices will be abundant. • STOCK EXCHANGE.—The sales are—Bristol and Exeter; New, 974—Birmingham and Gl ouc ester, 125—Caledonian, 12 —Cambrian and Grand Junction, to p.—Portbury Pier ar.d Railway, 277.

The prieb of these articles is, so to speak, indifferent to him who has nothing. He lives upon what he possesses or he remains destitute. The condition of many of the corn-growing States of Europe, as, fir instance, the western province s of Russia and Poland, is precisely the same as that of the Irish peasant. In losing their crops, or even that portion of their crops which is destined to support their own labouring population, they lose at once their food and their wealth, and the result to them is not only scarcity but famine. In England, on the contrary, the laws of comnierce operating fairly on our rela tions with the various producing countries of the globe, will preserve us from this horrible affliction. " Never since I have known -England," said Mr. Burkeafter the bad harvest of 1795, " have I known more than a comparative scarcity ;" but, added that great writer with a solemnity not inappro priate either to that or to the present occasion— " We, the people; ought to be made sensible that it is not in breaking the laws of commerce, which are the laws of nature, and consequently the laws of God, that we are to place our hope of softening the Divine displeasure to remove any calamity under which we suffer or which hangs over us." , Such a calamity calls for public wisdom and public virtue ; but before the country can be prepared for the efforts it may be called upon to make—and which it will make nobly when ever they are required of it—we must be rid of the tricks of gamblers and the dreams of dupes, and the fabric of insane speculation must collapse and shrivel into the nothing from which it rose.— Times. DEPUTATION TO THE CASTLE. Yesterday, at four o'clock P.M., a deputation from the Royal Agricultural society waited upon the Chief Secretary, SU:Thomas Fremantle, to communicate to him their views respecting the present condition of the country .and the means which should be adopted to avert the threatened scarcity. The deputation was named on the motion of Mr. Mahony, at a meeting of the council of the Society on the previous day, of which the above is a report, and the laws of the society were relaxed to permit the resolution then adopted to be submitted to the council. The deputation consisted of the following gentlemen :—Mr. G. A. Hamilton, M.P., Chairman; Mr. Blaney Wade, Mr. Lambart, Beau pare; Mr. Armstrong, Cahure; and Mr. Pierce Mahony, Grangecon. The meeting of the council of the So ciety from which this deputation emanated was at tended by thirty members, whom it immediately re presented, as mediately it represented the Irish landlords who compose the society. The names of the gentlemen who composed the meeting of the council were communicated by the deputation to Sir Thomas Fremantle. The unanimity of the meeting by which the deputation was appointed gave their representations additional importance. The Chief Se cretary received the gentlemen with great courtesy and frankness, and they remained in communication with the Right Hon. Baronet fr,bm 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock P.m. ' ' Mr. HAMILTON and Mr. Manoxv, on the part of the depu tation, as well as other gentlemen, having submitted the drainage plan they recommended; impressed on Sir Thomas Fremantle with great seriousness the view that they repu diated strongly all contemplation of eleemosynary relief for their countrymen, and that Irishmen would repudiate relief of such a nature. The country had resources sufficient to meet the evil, and through the development of oae resources only. did they desire that relief should PERVERTS TO POPERY.

I.—The demand for British grain, meal, and flour, during this week has been of a very limited character, the millers and dealers having previously stocked themselves to a good extent. Prices generally have receded. We observe a decline since Tuesday last of 2d. per bushel for old, and 3d. on Irish new wheat, on flour Is. per sack and 6d. per barrel, on oats and oatmeal fully 2d. per bushel and Is. per load. The present value of best Irish new red wheat is Be. id. to Bs. 2d. per 701 b. Mealing oats 4s. per 451 b. Beans and peas maintain the late advance in value, but the sales have been quiet in retail. 'there has been an active inquiry for wheat and flour in bond, and several transactions have occurred at improving prices. At yesterday's market the sales of recently imported United States flour were at 325., 325. 6d., and 335. per barrel. Hum. TUESDAY.—We have had a week of very dry weather, and the trade for wheat has ruled dull in conse quence. We have had a very strong demand fir oats, in bond, for shipment coastwise, and we note an advance of fully 2s. per quarter. The stock here is very small. There has been a fair inquiry for barley, at rather higher rates, but the quantity in the port is limited. Linseed and rapeseed have both been in fair request, and the price of both articles is rather better. In other sorts of spring corn not much doing. At this day's market the supply from the farmers of new wheat was only moderate, the condition being not much un proved. Buyers were unwilling to give the prices asked, and we quote both old and new ls. per quarter lower. No barley offering. Rather more oats offering, and fully 2s. per quarter dearer. Beans and peas in fair request, and beans must be noted full is. higher. Linseed and rapeseed main tain their value. Linseed cakes in fair demand, at last week's rates. Rape cakes not much sought for. In bones but little business passing, but rather dearer. Guano in a better demand. WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY.—The general opinion that an Order in Council for the liberation of the foreign grain in bond at a nominal duty is about to be made, has checked the trade here to-day, and so limited a business has been done that it is difficult to quote prices. Where sales have been made, a reduction in the price of each article has been submitted to. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Yesterday the Queen and Prince Albert took an early promenade in the grounds adjacent to the Castle.

The Directors of the Chamber of Commerce of this town forwarded, on the 22d ultimo, a memorial, of which the fol lowing is a copy, to Sir Robert Peel, as First Lord of the Treasury. We subjoin also the Right Hon. Baronet's reply TO THE RIGHT lION. SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P., FIRST LORD OF HER MAJESTY'S TREASURY, &C. &C. " The memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Com merce and Manufactures, at Manchester, " Sheweth —That long experience has taught your me morialists that the prosperity of the cotton trade mainly de pends upon the price of food, that an abundant and cheap supply of the first necessaries of life has never failed to be coincident with increased employment and a higher rate of wages, whilst dearness and scarcity of provisions have as in variably been attended with a diminished demand for labour, and a reduction of the earnings of the working classes. " That the cost of wheaten flour and oatmeal has risen 50 per cent. within a few months, and the price of potatoes is kept down only by the eagerness with which the growers force them upon the market, on account of their inferior quality, and from a fear that they will decay; but this in creases the danger of future deficiency; whilst the reported failure of the crop in many parts of Ireland adds a fearful gloom over the prospects of that portion of the empire, in whose fate this country is indissoluby involved. From these facts your memorialists fear that a period of scarcity and privation is impending, which may endanger the well being of this district, and subject the surrounding population to a repetition of those sufferings from which they have so recently emerged. "That, under these circumstances, your memorialists beg leave respectfullj , to urge upon your attenti , n the necessity of devising some means for securing a sufficient supply of food for the people. In the opinion of your memorialists, often expressed to the Government and the Legislature, that object would have been best secured by removing at a former period all restrictions upon the trade in corn, believing that the enterprise and capital of our merchants, which have ac cumulated in our warehouses a stock of cotton equal to eight months' consumption, would have made a similar provision against a casual deficiency of food, had corn, like cotton, been left to the unimpeded operations of commerce. But so long as a law is maintained to prevent the regular exchange of our manufactures for foreign grain—virtually deterring other nat - ons from providing for our wants, and prohibiting our capitalists from storing up a supply for future emergencies--so longas such a law is enforced, the Government invests itself with the responsibility of securing a sufficient supply of food at all times for the people. " Your memorialists call your attention to the difficulties which present themselves at the present moment arising from the scarcity of food in Holland and Belgium, in parts of Germany, and even in portions of Russia. Those countries, which in former periods of scarcity ministered to our wants, are now competing for the scanty stocks in more distant markets. But their Governments having wisely and humanely offered facilities for the importation of'food, which are denied in this country, their merchants are forestalling us in the grain markets everywhere, not excepting our own shores. "That, under these circumstances, your memorialists are of opinion that it b2comes the duty of Government to open the ports for the free admission of food of all kinds. The success even of this decisive remedy depends mainly upon ;,lie promptitude with which it is applied, and, therefore, your meh yrialists urge the imperative necessity of adopting it without delay, by means of an Order in Council, and they f ee l assurt o that such an act, dictated alike by prudence, justice, and htZtnanity, would Lave the sanction of Parliament and the enthusiastic approval of the nation." " Whitehall, Oct. 27, 1845. " Sir—l have the hot:our to acknowledge the receipt of the memorial of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Manchester, which bears date the 22d of October. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " Thos. Bazley, Esq." " ROBERT PEEL. —Manchester Guardian. HUMAN FOOD. The world has seldom exhibited a more strange and startling contrast than that which now presents itself be tween the intemperate pursuit of artificial wealth and the stern incurable deficiency of the most essential products of nature. If any one should come amongst us unprepared by the renown of this great country for the astonishing spec tacle of human activity which it presents, he would ask with a sort of wondering fear for the meaning and the purpose of this infinite perturbation, this ceaseless running to and fro, this intricate and restless mechanism of fortune. He would see fictitious holders of fictitious property made and unmade in an hour by the fluctuation of fictitious prices; and by the side of this imaginary opulence, inflated by the premature excesses of unreal luxury, he might watch the steady ap proach of want in its worst form, imposing on every man who breathes the breath of life duties of self-denial and public sympathy. At the very instant when the imagination of the community is rapt in a sort of frenzy by the disco verers of some new mode of creating inexhaustible wealth, we are reminded that these great magicians of the age are powerless against the cankerworm or the palmerworm, which are emphatically called Ged's army for the chastisement of mankind; and whilst they are proclaiming their recent vic tory over space and time, a blast of wind or a grub may de ny subsistence to the world. Though we can pierce rocks and pile embankments with a power and an art which will leave imperishable traces on the globe, we cannot anticipate by an hour the harvest of next year, we cannot augment the actual supply of the primary articles of food. Be it more or be it less, the population of the globe has its annual ration. The present prosperous condition of the country, the de mand for labour, the high rate of wages, and the general fever of activity which pervades every class of the commu nity, arc circumstances which tend to augment rather than to diminish the danger of scarcity ; for they manifestly in crease the amount of present consumption, they encourage habits of indulgence, they drive off the day of privation and self-denial. The time when a nation may have most need to husband its resources may also happen, from causes quite independent of the scarcity of food, to be that at which it is most lavish of them. It has yet to learn the mockery . of • I t.h which cannot purchase sustenance for the population THE RACE FROM ALEXANDRIA TO LONDON. — ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 22.—Mr. Waghorn started from this port for Trieste at 10 minutes past 11 o'clock on the morning of the 20 th inst., in a steamer placed at his disposal by the Austrian Government. and he hopes by that route to antici pate the arrival in London of the regular Bombay mail, which will go through France. The Hon. Company's steamer Semiramis arrived at Suez with the Bombay mail on the morning of the 19th, and Mr. Waghorn received a private India despatch from Suez,!by express courier, in the remarka bly short space of 21 hours.
