We gather this from the glowing lan guage i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility.

Gossip is imparting more importance to the whims and caprices of General CHANGARNIER than they possess, in reference to their influence over the desti nies of French Republicanism. One might reason ably imagine from the tittle-tattle respecting the Commander-in-Chief, that the Parisian quidnuncs verily believed in his presumed attributes of political omnipotence. Added to which, many intelligent in dividuals among ourselves seem inclined to credit the gigantic powers, for good or for ill, said to be concen trated in the hands of CHANGARNIER. Never was there such egregious flattery as that which is being daily and almost hourly offered up to him, as if in him the masses beheld the very incarnation of an un assailable and irresponsible authority. His evidences of irritability and annoyance are chronicled with a minuteness amounting to the most slavish sycophancy, A despot could not have hie movements watched more closely or more untiringly ; and all the while this same general-officer might be stripped of every vestige or even semblance of power by a stroke of the pen in the hand of the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON. Supposing his dismissal were published in the columns of the Moniteur immediately upon the re•election of M. Durres to the Presidential chair of the Assembly, CILINGAMNIEIL would be utterly deprived of all chances of retaliation, and would be compelled to retire into obscurity without any available means of betraying his dissatisfaction. Yet this is the high and mighty personage before the pomp of whose mere name the political gossips of Paris are perpetually bending the knee in the most servile genuflectione 1 ot withstand ing that many persons may be dis posed to doubt whether the position of Louis NAPO LEON is as yet sufficiently strong to enable him with impunity, even under the most favourable circum stances, to release himself from the irksome rivalry Of CHANGARNIER, it must be confessed on all hands that, as yet, the PRESIDENT has the advantage of legality on his side, and that as yet the Commander in-Chief has done nothing whatever to invest him with the only lasting popularity, the popularity arising out of a sense of national gratitude. A very little more than ack*ther month will witness the second anniver sary of that ever-memorable election of the 10th of • Pio ".—kt4 E t - N o _ * 2.1 THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING-, NOVEMBER 1, isso. December, when by a majority of six millions of votes, obtained through the ballot, and under the regime of universal suffrage, the French people volun tarily placed their new-born democracy under the shelter of the most august name in their annals, the imperial and royal name of NAPOLEON. Consequently, almost half of the allotted period of the Presidential power has already elapsed. Two out of the prescribed. four years' tenor of office have wit nessed the direction of the affairs of the Republic under the guidance of Louis NAPOLEON and throughout the whole of that momentous period the heir to the fortunes and the glory of the EM PEROR has shown himself not unworthy of the confidence reposed in his integrity by his countrymen. His actions from the first mo ment of his entrance into the Elysee have been those of allegiance to the Republican institutions, for the completion and maintenance of which he was suddenly called from more than thirty years' exile to the curule chair of the chief magistracy. He has ex pressly avowed again and again, in so many words, his loyalty to the present form of goverment. Again and again he has had the most tempting opportuni ties afforded him of adventuring upon a coup cretat, which might not improbably have encircled his brows with the imperial diadem. Yet again and again has be allowed those opportunities to pass by un heeded, again and again has he resisted and van quished those temptations. With an army devoted to the reminiscences of glory surrounding the me mory of the great E3IPEROR, with the rural population blindly, and even fanatically, de voted to his cause, with the prestige ac quired for himself during the last two years as a man of intellect and probity, and with the authority devolving upon him continually from the remembrance of his being the elected of two millions of the population—Louis NAPOLEON might assuredly long since have set at open defiance all the antagonism of parties, all the animosity of intriguing adventurers, and above all and beyond all the personal pride and arrogance of General CHANGAB.PIES. None of these things has the PRESIDENT adventured upon. His policy has been that of systematic conciliation. He has extended the hand of friendship to all classes and to all factions as cordially as he did on the first moment of his assumption of power, when he de scended from the tribune of the National As sembly, and, crossing the floor of the Chamber, proffered the fraternal grasp to that of his rival General CAVAIGNAC. While other statesmen, statesmen too of resplendent genius and of irre proachable integrity, found themselves rapidly de prived of popularity after the exercise of an evanescent dictatorship, Louis NAPOLEON has found his popu larity only increasing among the masses, among the soldiers, and among the peasantry during the two years which have followed his abrupt and astonishing elevation. From this at any rate it must be argued that he has acted judiciously, and that too under the pressure of the most embarrassing and complicated difficulties. Hence, moreover, it must be acknowledged, even by his most prejudiced mad virulent opponents, that he is a man of good if not splendid abilities, of sound if not comprehensive judgment, of unimpeach able honour, and of indisputable magnanimity. Of any individual who could thus maintain a position of such extraordinary peril and delicacy, this at least must have been said in approbation, but more espe cially of one whose entrance upon office was the subject of almost universal ridicule and caricature. Against the prestige, the power, and the popularity of Louis NAPOLEON his enemies are endeavouring then to raise up the egotism of the arrogant CuAN GARNIER. But for the pertinacity with which the influence of the latter is being continually magnified, the mere notion would be altogether too ridiculous to demand from us any serious consideration. As it is, however, all lovers of truth, all admirers of honesty, all opponents of sham and illusion, should avow boldly their contempt for this pretended omnipotence of a subaltern in the administration of the French Republic —one whose continuance in the post of Commander in-Chief is sblely one of sufferance, and who is conse quently incapable of dictating in any manner to a chieftain of whom he is simply, as it were, one of the lieutenants. Whatever may be the course of events in France, we are satisfied at any rate of this much, namely, that England will regard those events with interest, of course—with a profound and absorbing interest— but without any di'position whatever to reive the old, blundering, and iniquitous policy of foreign in terposition. Our Government now-a-days is happily resolved upon those principles which, in 1848, were expressed so nobly and liberally by Lord PALMERS- ToN—those principles of sympathy which will hence. forth be extecded to our neighbours in France, no matter whether they choose for their ruler a Presi dent or a Consul, a King or an Emperor. Unfortunately for Ireland, the prejudices and passions of Archbishop - WHALE, to which we briefly r.lluded yesterday, found a response at Rome. That Prelate, whose mischievous advice was rejected through the milder influence of the late lamented Roman Catholic Primate, Archbishop CAOLLY, and of the equally amiable and much respected Arch bishop MURRLT, whose inestimable services are still preserved for the benefit of his country and his creed, did not rest easy under his defeat. What " JOHN of Tuam" was unable to accomplish openly he endeavoured to promote by underhand and surreptitious means. He proceeded to Rome, and stimulated the Papal Go vernment to the adoption of an aggressive policy very different from that which had formerly been pursued by the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, and which (as we have recently stated) secured far the profes sors of that religion the esteem - and sympathy of their fellow-subjects of every creed and class throughout the British dominions; he was no longer satisfied with " toleration," his aspirations were after " domination ; not contented with " equality," he sought " superiority," and endeavoured to carry forward a Papal propagandism in place of that which had been abandoned by the Protestant ministers of England. Unhappily his insidious suggestions were received with but too much attention at the Papal Court. The advanced age and increasing infirmities of the pious and excellent prelates who had so long and so judiciously presided over the destinies of the Hibernian branch of the Roman Catholic Church afforded him great advantages in forwarding his views in Italy, and he let slip no opportunity of ad vancing - his projects. From time to time he obtained new adherents on the Episcopal bench and among the inferior clergy of the western province. His opposition to the mild and sagacious principles of his archiepiscopal brethren of Armagh and Dublin be came more energetic. His vituperative powers were freely and unsparingly exerted, and fierce denuncia tions were hurled against all who ventured to oppose his views. The " National Education " had been too firmly established to afford any reasonable hope of directly overturning a system which had brought forth such fruits, but it might be indirectly assailed. Its further progress was to be checked, before the re trograde movement could be commenced, and the first assault was made upon the new colleges estab lished in the chid* towns of the different provinces by the authority of our most Gracious SOVEREIGN, with the sanction and approbation of the Imperial Parlia ment. Never was there a boon that should have been received with more cordial unanimity than the estab lishment of the new seminaries. They supplied a waist that had long been painfully felt in Ireland, a mode by which the middle and wealthier classes of Roman Catholics could be enabled to receive a sound practical education, qualifying them for the learned professions and every species of intellectual pursuit, without their being compelled to feel a painful sense of degradation by being disqualified by their religion from seeking or obtaining the highest collegiate dis tinctions to which their attainments might otherwise entitle them. It is true that Roman Catholics might study and obtain degrees in the University of Dublin, that honours in classics and science, gold medals and moderatorships, were open to general competition—and among those who achieved those honourable rewards of merit we might adduce the honoured names of Chief Justice MONAHAN, of Mr. MußruY, Master in Chancery ; of Sergeant O'BRIEN, Sergeant MIIRPLIY, of the Honourable Gentlemen the Members for Kerry (county) and Athlone, and many others who have since risen to eminence in va rious pursuits—but the fellowships and scholarships, which gave emolument as well as honour to the holders, were restricted to the members of the Es, tablished Church, and a national jealousy was felt, which prevented vast numbers from availing them selves of the opportunities within their reach. The provincial college, which have since been incor porated into " The Queen's University," however, removed every just cause of complaint. The services of the most eminent Irishmen, without distinction of religious creed or profession, were secured. On this point we shall refer to the recent speech of Sir ROBERT KANE, the President, whose name has been long since justly cele brated for his attainments in the arts and sciences, and whose appointment was hailed with the highest approbation by every disinterested and unprejudiced person. The Honourable Gentleman, is speaking of the constitution of the new university, said— " The University Senate includes the Preident of the Queen's College, in virtue of the institutions which they administer. It also contains among its members a representation of the piety and learning, the rank and genius of our country, such as will bring us honour and respect abroad, such Es will confer the highest dignity upon the degrees issued under its Leal. A senate graced with the presence and guided by the counsel of the Most Reverend the two Arch bishops of the Metropolis, of the Earl of horse, of Chief Baron Pigott, and of other eminent FA -son ars, whose names you will have seen in the published official list of the University; such senate may well be trusted to uphold, conjointly with our efforts, the cha racter of these colleges, to main'ain the plan of studies in accordance with the most advanced requirements of the age. Without interfering with the more immediate province of the Board of Visitors of each college, the University Senate will certainly not forget the principle, which constitutes the vital excellence of our organization, the perfect security of every student from interference with his religions faith, and the degrees in the several faculties of arts, law and medicine, granted to the stu dents educated in this college are, by the specific clause in the royal charter, declared to have and possess all rank and precedence, rights and privileges, belonging to other university degrees. Therefore, at least the in habitants of this country can obtain the best educa tion and reach the highest honour in the learned pro fessions, without being subjected to those penalties upon conscience, common to all exclusive universities, and which equally marked the degradation of those who im posed and those who received the shackles. No. The Queen's University in Ireland marks its foundation as the final, but must important step in liberating the Roman Catholic people from the thraldom in which they had been so long unjustly held. Here all students meet upon equal terms in the impartial lists of literary tour ney. Here every student will be required to respect the conscientious scruples of his neighbour, whilst his own shall equally be secured from interference. Here no undeserved supremacy, no unearned rank, no class exclusion, no privileged facilities, can change the course of fortune, or peril the success of conscientious merit. Former enactments have given the political man his proper place, as citizen of a free country—but it is now, now for the first time, the intellect has been free. Now can our country's genius fearlessly soar in the full light of science unrestrained, freed from the lures and limi tations which in exclusive colleges have marred its flight and paralyzed its efforts." But, although religion was not forced upon any class of students, and the receiving of such instruc tion on their parts was purely voluntary, Sir ROBERT KANE was fully justified in asserting that " that there existed greater securities for moral and religious discipline than in any other colleges, not purely ecclesiastical, even in Catholic countries," and in the energetic appeal to the parents and guar dians of pupils, as to whether any youth "had been injured in morality or religion by having last year studied in the college, or if, in the conduct of the students or authorities, the principles of morality had been violated or reli gion outraged." In fact and truth every opportunity was afforded to those who would receive instruction in these matters, and they were perhaps more freely resorted to, and greater benefit derived because their attendance was not compulsory. Men cannot be made religious by Act of Parliament, and, although you may force youths to listen to religious lectures, you cannot insure any real benefits therefrom. Yet these were the institutions against which the cry of " Godless" was raised by APHALE and the ecclesiastical bigots, who first asked merely fur freedom and toleration, which having ob tained, they now seek to establish a spiritual despotism over the consciences and religious liberty of the people. The death of the venerable Archbishop CROLLY afforded the reactionary party an opportunity of car rying out their designs. For the first time the ordi nary rule with respect to the election to the Prelacy was violated. The names of those respectable clergymen were, as usual, transmitted to Rome as " dignus," " dignior," and " dignissimus," one of whom was to have been selected for the Roman Catholic Primacy. But all were contemptuously passed over, and the Rev. PAUL CULLEN, an Irishman only in name, who for thirty years had dwelt in Rome and breathed the atmosphere of the Papal Court, re ceived the high appointment. This gross insult to the Roman Catholics of Ireland was submitted to. Tne decree of the PONTIFF was obeyed, and that has been followed by the new aggression on the British nation—the parcelling out of England into districts and the appointment of a new body of Prelates to have spiritual jurisdiction iu England. We may judge from the proceedings of the Synod of Thurles, which condemned the new Irish University by a majority of one, namely, by the vote of Dr. Cum.eN himself, what will be the next move in England. The aggression, we say, must be strenuously resisted, and it is of even greater importance to Roman Catholics than to Protestants that it should be so. The speech of Sir ROBERT KANE, and its recep tion by Roman Catholic parents and guardians in Munster, proves that in Ireland the people will not yield to the unreasonable demands of a slender majo rity of the Bishops ; and the English people are also showing that they are deserving of the religious liberty for which their forefathers so strenuously and energetically contended. THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—A clearly-defined and beautifully-printed plan of this extraordinary struc ture has just been issued from Mr. Wyld's establish tnent. in it the public can for a single penny obtai❑ a most accurate sketch of the character of the great palace of the Exhibition. Every section of the build ing is marked and lettered so that it can be readily scrutinised and appreciated in its various departments. REMOVAL OF THE COURT FROM OSBORNE TO WIND SOR CASTLE.- (Tana DAY.)—Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, Princes Alfred and Arthur, and the Princesses Royal, Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and attended by Viscountess Jocelyn ( Lady in Waiting), the Hon. Caroline Dawson (Maid of Honour), the Hon. Colonel Charles Grey (Secretary to the Prince), Lieut.-Colonel Francis Hugh Seymour (Equerry to his Royal Highness), and the Mister of the Household (Major-General Bowles), left Osborne Palace this morning at ten o'clock, and embarked on board the Fairy royal screw steam tender, Captain Lord Aldolphus Fitzclarence, for Gosport. The Queen was received with the customary honours at the Clarence Yard, whence the royal party tra velled by special train on the South-Western Railway to Basingstoke, and thence by the Great Western Railway to Windsor. Her Majesty was received_ at the terminus by a Lieutenant-Colonel's guard of honour of the Ist battalion of the Coldstream Guards, and at the Castle by the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Court is expected to return to Os borne at the close of this month, until Christmas. The Right Hon. Richard Lahor Sheil has been appointed her Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary at Florence, in the place of the late Sir George Hamilton. He will remain fir a short time in England for the purpose of assisting in carrying into effect the contemplated reforms in the Mint. DESPERATE LEAP PROM LONDON-BRlDGE.—Yes terday morning, shortly before one o'clock, the numerous persons passing over London-bridge were most painfully ex cited owing to the following desperate case of self-destruc tion being committed by a gentleman named George Wood land:—lt appears that Mr. E. F. Justins, of No. 59, Fenchurch-street, City, and Mr. Woodland, had been spending the evening together at the Grapes Tavern, Union street, Borough, and shortly after twelve o'clock they left the house and proceeded towards the City. After walking to gether some distance on London-bridge, Mr. Woodland, without saying a word to his friend, mounted the parapet and deliberately threw himself into the river. In his descent he no doubt struck his head against one of the buttresses of the arch, as a loud crash was heard before he reached the water. The alarm was promptly given, and every exertion was made to recover the unfortunate man, but, owing to the darkness of the morning, without success, and he was carried away by the tide and drowned. Not the least idea can be formed by Mn Justins why the deceased should have de stroy©: himself. He was perfectly sober at the time, and seemed quite collected. He is described as being ;79 or 40 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches high, and very thin. He was dressed in a light twill coat and dark trousers. THE EQUITY Coulas.—Vice-Chancellor Rolfe will, on being sworn in on Saturday morning before the Lord Chancellor, at his private residence in Elton-square, ;pro ceed to take his seat in the Vice-Chancellor of England's Court in Westininister• hall—the arrangement being that the Judges of the Equity Courts shall sit on the first day of term at Westminster-hall, and for the remainder of the term at OFFICERS OF COUNTY COURTS.—There is a new provision in the extended County Courts Act respecting the removal of clerks and high bailiffs of the courts. The Lord Chancellor has now the exclusive power (except in the courts within the Duchy of Lancaster, where the Chancellor of the Duchy has the authority) to remove clerks, high bailiffs, and assistant-clerks from their situations, and also authority to make orders respecting the attendance of clerks at the County Courts. ABiIINCE or MIND.—A certain magistrate, living in Connecticut, was so fascinated by the appearance of a pretty lady, a witness before his court, that, instead of a Bible, he presented his face to kiss. He did not discover his mistake till his wife, who happened to be present, gave, him a box on the ear. — Galt Reporter. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. These journals all comment upon the dismissal (4 General NEUMAYER, and upon the proceedings on Tuesday of the Council of Permanence. The Bulletin de Paris thus reports the proceedings of the Com mittee of Permanence : " The members of the committee present were very numerous; M. Mo!e, who has returned to Paris from Champlatreux, was in attendance, as well as M. Odilon Barrot. The discussions were very animated, but at tended with no result, owing, it is said, to the concilia tory disposition of some of the influential members of the committee. The question of the immediate convoca tion of the Assembly was rejected, as was expected. The Minister of War had not been requested to attend." The Committee took its tone from General CHAN GARNIER, who proposed that, as the regular sitting would take place on Thursday, the Minister of War should be summoned for that day, and asked whether the appointment of General NEUMAYER to the com mand at Rennes was to be considered as a reward or as a punishment ; if as a reward, he was to be asked for what action the reward had been conferred; and if as a punishment, what crime the General had committed ? It is said that a midnight meeting of the Society of the 10th December was held on Monday night, at which the most outrageous propositions were brought forward. A plan waF, it is said, proposed to get rid of the leaders of the Assembly, and to reduce to practice M. ROMIEU'S theory of Cze3arism. The Minister of the Interior, M. BAztocue, is summoned to give ex planations on the subject, aril will be asked whether he is prepared to dissolve the society. The Bulletin de Paris gives the following, which may be considered as the official version of the causes which led to the removal of General NEUMAYER " The incident which led to the late act of the Presi dential power as far as regards the commandant of the Ist military division was as follows:—' The post of honour called that of l'Echelle, at the Tuileries, was occupied by the National Guards. The day before yes terday, at the moment of relieving guard, and when the chief of the post, belonging to the 10th legion, was ready to give up the place to some of the same force, he saw come to replace him a company of the Gendarmerie Mobile, to whom the post of honour of the Echelle had been assigned. This change could not have taken place without an order emanating from the staff of the Ist military division, and without the responsibility of Gen. Neumayer being directly engaged in it. It is stated that the National Guards were much excited by the circum stance; that the news of the suppression of one of its posts o honour had produced a very sad effect on the different legions, and that there was even a question of making an energetic remonstrance on the subject at the Elys4a. It is added that the President of the Republic was completely a stranger to the measure, and that, in order to offer to the National Guard a fresh proof of his sincere regard for that force, he decided, although with regret, to remove the person who had signed the order for thus displacing the National Guard.' " The same journal states that the Council of Minis ters decided unanimously, with the exception of M. BINEAU, that General NEUMAYER should be appointed to a superior post. It is said that when General CHANGARNIER, on Sunday, asked the PRESIDENT the reason for , the re moval of General NEUMAYER, the PRESIDENT replied it was because the troops under his command at Sa tory had not cried Vive le President, on which General CHANGARNIER called his aides-de-camp to witness the expression of the PRESIDENT, and de clared that he considered the removal of General NEUMAYER as a personal offence to himself. MM. THIERS, MOLE, and ODILON BARROT have called on General CHANGARNIER, but have not been at the Elvsee. The Union and the Assemble Nationale say that General NEUMAYER has declined accepting the com mand of the 14th and 15th divisions (Rennes and Nantes), to which he was appointed by the decree inserted in the Moniteur. In commenting on these differences the Siècle says it " cannot blame the PRESIDENT for making use of the rights which belong to him, even though it should be to show to the host of the Tuileries that the head of the Executive Government is at present at the Elyse?." The National expresses itself as follows : " Up to this time the Elystis has the best of the mat ter. It has shown resolution, and General Changarnier has received two checks. Is the chance about to turn? We know not. The Elysee, like all people ill-accus tomed to conquer. perhaps exaggerates its first success, and thinks itself master and able to dictate laws. Yesterday, at three o'clock, it was beaten, 'and it required an heroic charge of the council to restore the advantage to it. To crush General Changarnier is not difficult; but behind him is the Assembly. Is it also sure of beating them? The majority, it is true, docilely voted the dotation. That is some sort of a pledge, but it must not be too much calculated on. How ever this may be, the state of affairs is entangled, a con flict is probable, and did we not always reckon on the God of uncertainty, we would bet that the comedy would soon receive a tragical denouement. For our parts, as Republicans, what occasion have we to meddle with all this? We are not consulted, and our opinion is not asked. It will be necessary to call France to the contract: then,' but then alone, she will speak. and then will be seen the value of those calculations of the ante-chamber, and those intrigues of the palace before the loudly-expressed will of the nation." The Moniteur publishes a report addressed to the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce by M. PATEN, a member of the Institute, who was commis sioned by the Government to visit the manufacturing establishments near Dublin for carbonizing the turf raised from the Bog of Allen, and converting it into a valuable manure. The report approves highly of the system introduced into Ireland, and adds that it may be applied with great advantage to France, where there exists several thousand hectares of bog.

Accounts from Cassel of the 26th ultimo state that General HAYNAU and the troops had left for Hanau, and that the advance of an army of Bavarian troops into the Electorate was there hourly expected.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A telegraphic dispatch in the Cologne Gazette, dated Berlin, Oct. 30, in the evening, says— " According to dispatches received here yesterday from Warsaw, the Prussian propositions have been re jected. It is not likely that Denmark will accept th e proposed commission in common." Secret kindnesses done to mankind are as beautiful as secret injuries are detestable. To be invisibly good is as godlike as to be invisibly evil is diabolical.—. Eliza Cook's Journal. ROYAL EAST REIMS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. —At the annual ploughing match and exhibition of stock of this association, which has just taken place at Bray, near Maidenhead, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who was an exhibitor in four classes, had no less than four prizes awarded to him by the judges, viz. : In " cattle, class 1," a prize of IL, for the best fat ox, and a prize of the same amount for the best in-calf heifer. In " sheep. class 3," a prize of 1/. 103. for the best Southdown ram. His Royal Highness com peted for the prize of 1/. 103. for the best pen of three porkers, under six months old, against Robert Palmer, Esq., one of the Members for Berks, and J. Hercy, Esq., but WAS unsuccessful, the judges awarding the victory to the latter gentleman. The animals exhibited by the Prince Consort, bred and fattened by his Royal Highness on Flemish Farm, at Windsor, were remarkably handsome, and justly admired by those present, and highly commended by the judges. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales yester3ay at Liverp )ol were 4,000 bales, including 300 Surat for export. The market closed heavily, but with rather more evenness, and prices ,are changed. The sales include 150 Pernam and Maranham, at 84d. to Bid.; 100 E4yptian, 83. to 8/cl.; 1,000 Surat, sd. to 6d., and the remainder American.—The Share market was dull the greater part of the day, but im proved in the afternoon, and closed with a better ap pearance. The Colonial Produce Markets have been rather quieter this week, and prices have ruled somewhat lower for the principal staples. Generally, however, holders are indisposed to force sales, and it there is an absence of speculation consumption goes on fairly. The following is an account of the Manchester markets furnished by Messrs M‘Nair, Greenhow and Irving : " External appearances merely would appear to have failed in affording any materially correzt indication of the actual condition of this market, arising from a whole some desire on the part of many of those more immediately connected with and interested in its transactions to pur • sue their respective callings in a comparatively quiet and viewless manner. Such at least we not only believe, but infer from the extensive business transactions which have had existence for some time Fast. From the date of our last circular to the arrival of the first overland mail, matters continued as then reported t) be existing. The accounts generally having been considered favour. able, an active demand immediately followed, for Bom bay chiefly, which continued until the receipt of the se cond overland dispatches, which, aided by intelligence from some other large•consuming markets, indicating, along with those from Bombay and Calcutta, a material ap proximation to the rates ruling here for Cloth and Twist, induced increased activity in purchasing to an extent that not only removed any previous and general accumulation of stock, but placed many producers under contract for a while; hence, though no animation, beyond a momentary one has characterised the markets a very large business, as you will have per ceived, has been transacted, attended with an actual advance upon all counts and qualities of India yarns, and some descriptions of shirtings, &c., as well as having imparted a firmer and hardening tendency towards other kinds. We should add, however, that the firm position of the Cotton Market, arising from the absence of more favourable accounts respecting the growing crop, induced purchases to be made with greater confidence, from a belief that should no unforeseen casualty happen, no material downward tendency in the value of that ar ticle need for some time be apprehended. The critical position of affairs in Germany, and the reported proba bility of another continental war, have, we may mention in passing, not been without their influence here during this and the two previous days. Operations for the Continent have been much restricted, and a general de sire prevails to act cautiously." The Overland advices are favourable as regards trade at Calcutta, but not so good from Bombay. In the Amsterdam Stock Market on the 30th inst. Dutch Stock was rather in favour, and closed at 56 5-16. Spanish, Portuguese, Austrian, and Russian Bonds were firmer. This being the day on which the half-yearly balance is taken at the Bank of England, is observed as a holi day at the Stock-Exchange.

CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.) Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples, the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week have been very small; hence the show of that grain hero this morning was trifling. Selected qualities, of both red and white, sold at Monday's currency. In the mid dling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing, at barely late rates. Upwards of 16,000 quarters of fo reign Wheat have come fresh to hand, but a portion has gone direct into the hands of the millers. The transac tions were mostly in retail. In prices, however, we have no change to report. Malting Barley was scarce, and quite as dear. Grinding and distilling samples were the turn in favour of the buyers. We had only a moderate supply of Malt, yet the demand was heavy, at barely stationary prices. The total supply of WO was not large, nevertheless the trade ruled very inactive, at Monday's quotations. Beans and Peas were again lower to purchase. An immense quantity of foreign Flour being pressed for sale, the trade was very dull, at barely late rates. - ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. ' Wheat. Barley. Oats.

The number of buyers in attendance being small, and Newgate and Leadenhall largely stocked with meat, the Beet trade ruled exces sively heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. Sheep— the numbers of which were moderate—moved off slowly; but we have no decline to notice in their value. The few prince Downs on offer sold at 4s per 81bs. The supply of Calves—which was chiefly composed of fo reigners—was more than adequate to the demand. Prices were, therefore, with difficulty supported. An immense arrival of Pigs having taken place from abroad, the Pork trade was heavy, at barely late rates. Mulch Cows were dull, at from 1 . 41 to 181 5s each, including their small Calf.

Tho part of Shylock, in which Mr. Macready ap peared last night, was selected by him for the opening of Drury-lane Theatre, when he undertook the manage ment of that house. Nevertheless, it is not one of the characters which he commonly sustains, and we may say generally that the series of personages who are distin guished by inherent malignity, and who were so conspicu ous in the list of Cooke and Edmund Kean, are not very prominent in Mr. Macready's repertoire. In rendering Shylock he seiz , s on the logical temperament of the Jew, and this he rigidly follows out, till despair at the failure of his cause obliterates all distinctive peculiarity. When, before he advances the money to Antonio, he enumerates the indignities he has endured, he does this not so much in spite, but rather as if he were advancing an argumentum ad absurdum against the request. In stating the singular condition of his own bond, he dwells on the laughter which accompanies his statement, as if ho would show the contingency to be so absolutely ridiculous that Antonio need not fear for a moment to strike the bargain. Such expressions as —" What I would'st thou have a serpent sting thee twice ?" and " Hates any one the thing he would not kill ?" which arc susceptible of a concentration of malignity, he interprets as if they were cool sound arguments for the course he intends to pursue. The railings and sentimental appeals which assail him at the judgment-seat he impatiently re pels, not so much because they are hurtful to his feelings, but because they seem to be away from the point —to be impertinent in terruptions to his own straightforward reasoning. Even though the elopement of his daughter be wilders him with rage and grief, he appears amid the storm of passion consequent upon this event to fall back upon the analogy between the Jew and the Christian as though the argumentation were his natural element. Shylock, it still be borne in mind, while he is actuated by the deepest malignity, abounds in arguments, not only plausible, bat good ; and, bad as he may be individually, ho is made by the poet the mouthpiece of the noble doctrine, that difference of re ligious creed makes no difference in the rights between man and man. To sum up in a few words our notion of Mr. Macready's interpretation, we should say that he brings forward the intellectual tenour of Shyloek's mind more prominently than the actuating malig nity. Mr. Davenport, gentlemanlike and careful in his elocution as Baisanio ; Mr. Howe, lively and spirited as Gratiano ; and Mrs. Warner as Portia, gave good effect to the perform ance. We may especially commend Mrs. Warner for her speech on mercy, which she delivered to the Jew, as the poet intended, and not to the audience, which is too frequei.tly the case. The house was crowded to suffoca tion, there being not so much as.si good place vacant even in the slips by the time the curtain rose. THE EXPOSITOR, No. I. In anticipation of the Great Industrial Exhibition of 1851, an illustrative journal; under the above has just been commenced. Issued from the establishment of the enterprising publisher, Mr. Joseph Clayton, junior, we may anticipate with confidence the fulfilment of all the brilliant promises given forth to its subscribers in the opening address and prospectus. The ability and enterprize of the Leader justify any such confidence in a weekly orga❑ published under the same intelli gent management. As a specimen number, the one lying before us is sufficiently admirable, moreover, to confirm the public in those expectations. While the letter-press is marked by its prevail ing perspicuity the wood-engravings are both clever and manifold, embracing a large variety of interesting subjects, and enabling the most un scientific almost at a glance to comprehend the nature of the improvements applied by in ventors to the industrial arts and sciences. In this manner we find in one part of the Expositor a view of the " Recoil Breakwater and Lighthouse," and in another an outline plan of the " Dover Harbour of Refuge." Under the heading of " Patents, Registered Designs, and Im provements," are given sketches of Simpson and Shipton'a short-stroke reciprocating pendulous en gine, of Elliott's Opisometer, for measuring curved lines (a simple but most ingenious contrivance), of Moseley's continually revolving architnedian drill stock, of the gutta-percha ear-trumpet, used by Miss Harriet Martineau, and of the Amempton, a new and beautiful description of carriage contrived by Mr. Edwin Kesterton. A larger en graving of Dover Harbour is given further on in the publication, and under it an exquisite drawing of the Queen's retiring room at the [lay market Theatre, a sumptuous apartment, de corated with much artistic grace by Sang. Other curiosities are likewise pourtrayed in the first number of the Expositor, as, for instance, the three patent silvered glass goblets lately used at the York Banquet by his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Lord Mayors of York and London. Added to these engravings a representation of a cast-iron lighthouse and other minor embellishments, it will be apparent that no exertions have been lost in the deco ration of the opening or specimen number of the Expositor.

In the r tit l i n - tor and throughout the whole line of frontier the °t e te is tranquil—not even our troublesome neigb,;,-tof the Afredees having fired a shot or cut tbr"-set late. This state of quiescence, though P etti soln ; is decidedly wrong in the opinion o' eil A for of the Bengaleee, who are spelling h ar r fg vi' a slight winter campaign at Kohat an d " - 10 t cinity, in order to quell the marauders, sP,sel whom Brigadier Campbell made his unin ce e e i c ele move last year. But I think I may safely Pit:, to that our rulers know better by this time tThol• engage in such a pr o fitless undertaking. Lo rd t ee t, housie is still at Cheenee, in the Kunawa r close upon the Chi n ese frontiers. I hear it stet upon good authority too—that his Lordship is , 0 0 to give orders to open up a road direct Or o/ Ladak, for the purposes of traffic. In my ne xt l e bet i E be able to give you some precise particulars ; A Ins the fact is as I state, the step is important and v 3 al Indeed I see no reason why we s h ou ld not cy st etas a trade with China by this roate, just in th e ,0 1 ' way that the Moscow and St. Petersburgh csr°ln'irg do annually, going through Siberia, and retur-ttes laden with furs, tea, silks, and spices.

The following stave) respecting the matter is taken from a Lahore Psi)er printed in the Persian language : do te d " His Highness Maharaja Goolab Singh °ra g t he that no Sepoys were to have leave of absence, deat; people of Challus were in insurrection, and ha t of tied off about fifteen hundred of the inhabitahe: Hushoorah.
