The present crisis in our social, as well as our political history, is one of a kind and degree of interest rarely attach ing to the affairs of an empire in the thirtieth year of pro found peace. The importance of the elements which have created this crisis is equal to the rarity of their combination, and welldeserves—let us say, rather, imperatively demands— the profound consideration of every man anxious to uphold the grandeur and prosperity of this country. Abroad we possess dominion in point of extent, variety of surface and geographical relations, natural riches, population, com merce, intelligence, and power absolutely unrivalled in the case of any other European monarchy. On the shores of Africa we have trading settlements and forts, and immense territorial possessions, with active and resolute colonists, and all the materiel of permanent and rapidly expanding establish ments. On its western coasts we lavishly expend our blood and treasure, the health and lives of our devoted sailors and their enterprising commanders, in the generous effort to extin guish the Negro slave•trade, and to elevate the moral cha racter as well as the domestic condition of the African peo ple. Oa the south and east of the same enormous continent we are peopling the primeval solitudes of a fertile wilderness with a race of English-descended settlers, who live in the enjoyment and exercise of the arts and comforts, the man ners, language, and religion of their mother country, and who draw from their forests and their rivers, their vineyards, their flocks, their corn-fields, whatever can contribute to the support, the health, the vigour, and the physical progress of the human race. The protection affisrded by the mother country our African colonists repay by the abundant sup plies and equipments they contribute to our fleets, the said tory resources they offer to our invalided soldiers, exhausted by service in our more Oriental possessions, and the staples of wool, &c., which they supply to our general markets. I❑ Asia, we possess the supreme dominion of that magnificent peninsula, which proves, with the single exception of China, the noblest region of the finest quarter of the globe. In that Indian Empire of ours, all the msjestic and all the useful bounties of nature are distributed with a stupendous profusion. The noblest rivers, after pur suing their long-protracted course through some of the wealthiest and most beautiful countries to be found upon the globe. roll their collected waters into the ocean at points on the coasts of the peninsula which their alluvial deposits have enriched, for ages, with all the principles of in exhaustible fertility in incalculable accumulation. The richest and most abundant products, in sums quarters, spontaneously develop themselves ; in others, (reward the slightest labour devoted to the cultivation of the soil. The mineral kingdoms vie with the teeming kingdoms of animated nature in their profuse yield of the riches they contain. The finest grain, pulse, and drugs, the most delicious fruits and flowers, are found in the same country which produces the purest diamonds and the finest metals. The mountain forests furnish the largest and finest timber trees for ship-building; the plains contribute their precious products of raw silk and cotton; the cities manufac tare the fabrics most prized throughout the world fur the purposes of luxury or ornament. From a subject population of ninety millions sf souls (independently of almost as many more, ever whom we nominally exercise no more than the influence of the paramount State over its tributaries,) we draw those fine bodies of native soldiery, who, under the simple condition of being commanded by British officers, compose the bravest and steadiest troops which As►a has ever produced, and who form, at this mo ment, the great bulk of our Anglo-Indian Army— an army which for its morale, its discipline, its high-toned courage, its experience, its varied service, its miraculous successes, its inflexible perseverance, and its indomitable spirit, is, perhaps, without a rival even among the military powers of Europe. In America, we have extended the do minion of our flag—and consolidated that dominion by the most populous, intelligent, and powerful colonial establish ments to be found in the world —over territories of all but boundless extent, and also eminent for the value of their native products—their sugars, coffees, spices, their timber and corn, their rivers and lakes, their fisheries and their trade. In China, we have established a paramount influence and authority over all other strangers—with the single ex- ception, perhaps, of the Japanese—whom the jealoin policy of that: imperial government has hitherto admitted into c , n)wereial anti even municipal rela'ions with its subjects. And with all these means and manifestations of power, strength, and dignity, abroa 1, we possess and we exhibit at home a degree of opulence, a height of refinement, an ex- tent of civi!isation, an organisation of resources fur the en- largement and maintenance of our authority abroad, and our domestic prosperity, in every way proportioned to these indications of external grandeur. The history of human swieties does not produce a parallel to the rapidity, or the amount, in which capital has been multiplied among us .within the last ten years, No Oriental fabulist ever ima- gined, in all the unbridled license of his invention, a fund of wealth, accumulated in one country, adequate to that which must have formed the basis of railway speculations that have been brought forward, in the latter half of that period, to a nominal or hypotheticated amount of capital exceeding 640000,00 01. ; and this, too, among a people whose means are annually charged with the actual payment of 50,000,0001. of taxes, of which nearly two-thirds are devoted to defray the current charge of interest on the debt of the nation. ON, TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 11, 1845. But in the midst of all these blessings and distinctions of internal prosperity and foreign power, it is but too evident there are disturbing influences at work, which, if not counter acted promptly, may go far to sap and undermine the foun dations of this magnificent political and social fabrid. Bad economic laws, such as those which regulate the trade of corn and of money—impolitic principles of fiscal administra tion—abuses or incompetency in great branches of our exe cutive departments—and, above all, un-Christian, unwise and antiquated civil disabilities, on account of religious opi nions, still affecting certain classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects, tbese are fruitful sources of disunion, discontent, and disor• ganisation of public feeling, which it becomes, with the lapse of every day, more and more the imperative duty of the Itp vernment and the Legislature to remedy or to remove. In more than one quarter of the political horizon every observant eye detects a threatened explosion of that morbid animosity and insatiable envy which the grandeur and the power of the position oc cupied by this country among the nations bas generated among the most unprincipled of other Governments with which, up to this moment, we are on terms of ostensible amity. Of all kinds of wisdom political wisdom is that whereof " timeliness" is the most indispensable qualification. The movement in our dockyards, arsenals, and harbours, is all satisfactory enough, as being in the right direction ; but in the meantime the Government should reform all admitted anomalies in our legislation and our civil institutions, so as to " knit together, in the bonds of amity and peace, the hearts and minds of all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects," against the day of that catastrophe—a 1% ar—which at no distant period may be forced upon us. Whatever enemy we may have to combat with may be assured of ultimate and signal defeat, provided only that we leave him no auxiliary so formidable as the existence of rankling internal grievances affecting large masses of our countrymen, and laws specially oppressive to the poor, by their cruel enhancement of the I price of the first necessary for human subsistence. The last number of the Law Review contains an article on he subject of the controversy between the bar and the press, which is well worthy of attention. As might have been naturally supposed, the writer leans rather to the side of the bar. He would fain insinuate that no insult was meant to the press by the members of the Oxford and Western Circuit in passing their too famous resolution. We will not stop to inquire whether or no insult was meant; certain it is insult was offered, and such being the case, we are glad to find that the Law Review, a periodical which numbers among its contributors some of the highest names in the profession, offers this excellent advice to the members of those circuits:— " We believe that in both circuits there has been, on the divi sion as to the resolution, an opposing, but of course unsuccessful minority, although on the Oxford Circuit it was a small one. This minority may then easily become a majority, and we sincerely hope that no time may be lost in rescinding the resolution in ques tion. It is painul to ❑s to offer this advice; it grieves us to find that two bodies so eminent and respectable as the Oxford and Western Circuits, so nearly allied to ourselves, and each of which numbers among its ranks so many men whom we not only value and esteem as distinguished members of the profession, but to whose judgments we would gladly defer on other matters. But as we feel a strong conviction that it is for the honour of the profession and the interest of the public that the step should be taken, we would only say that the sooner it is taken the better. Circuits, like all other public bodies, are fallible. If they have been led into error, they have neither been the first nor will they be the last placed in similar circumstances. It is quite possible that both these circuits acted from a generous feeling. We therefore, with all sincerity, tender them this advice." This is wise, sensible advice, which we trust will be fol lowed; and thus will this controversy, from which no pos. Bible good can arise, be brought to a conclusion. The writer goes on to state that, in giving this advice, it must not for one moment be imagined that he considers the bar has anything to fear from the press. If, by this phrase, he means the abstraction called the bar, he may possibly be right, but if by the Far he means the aggregate of barristers, he is decidedly wrong, for the pulelic would not be cognisant even of the existence of any one single barrister if the press were invariably to exclude the names of all counsel from its reports and notoriety—that notoriety which the press alone can bestow, is the Pabulum vita to a barrister. Besides, in a preceding portion of the same article, we find the following passage : " One word more, which we address quite as much to the true interest as to the generous feelings of the leaders of these circuits. The bar owes its strength, its reputation, its standing in society, to its power of attracting to its ranks from the lowest station by far the greater proportion of the clever men of the day. It is its proudest boast that its sons rise, without any other assistance than their talents and character, from the lowest rank to be the com panions of princes, and to wield the destinies of the world. Let the bar beware of shutting any avenue to this class of men ; and the public press is one which has already sent, and will again send, a large part of the talent and character of the bar. The reporter of to-day may become the reported of to-morrow. The bar of the present day boasts but little beyond mediocrity ; we look along the ranks, and, in the midst of a larger extent of average ability than was ever before known, we find but few rising above the middle height, and no one standing above the rest from his shoulders and upwards.' Let us not, therefore, poison a spring from which already so much good has down, and which may help us in time of need " Now surely that bar which boasts little beyond medi ocrity, has every thing to fear from a contest with that press which, to use again the words of this writer, "Is a power properly called the Fourth Estate, before which the Prime Minister, be he who he may, daily trembles; which dis poses of crowns and subverts empires ; which changes the face of nations and the very habits of the people." It is most assuredly a great anomaly, that men who exercise this vast power—who are in the nineteenth cen tury what the priests were in the thirteenth—the defenders of the oppressed against the oppressor—the denouncers of evil persons and evil things, the excommunicators of those bold bad men wLo set the laws at defiance, but who yet fear that their evil deeds should become publicly known —it is most assuredly a great anomaly that the exercisers of this mighty power should have no fixed social status. The writer in the Review regrets this circumstance, which in face renders the power of the press a perfectly irresponsible power, but he endeavours to account for it by saying "If the newspapers wish to be respected, they must show that they respect each other. They impute to each ether, in plain language, crimes which, if true, ought to drive them out of all civilised society. Over-reaching, unfairness amounting to theft, suboination of perjury, and lying, are repeatedly laid to each other's charge." To this, as a general accusation against the press, we demur That it is true of some papers we admit, but that it is so of all we as strenuously deny. Besides, this very fault is owing to the fact that editors of paper,: have no social status. The abstraction Star may abuse the abstraction Bee in the most virulent language. Like corporations they have neither bodies to be kicked, or souls to be saved ; but if Mr. THOMPSON were known to be the editor of the Bee, and were received as such, and ➢lr. JOHNSON we; known and received as the editor of the Star, then these papers, being no longer abstractions, would be forced to respect each other, or a duel between JOHNSON and THOMPSON would be the inevitable consequence. The following accusation against the Press we meet at once with an indignant denial : " An impression has got abroad that in society no one is safe in the company of a gentleman connected with the press ; that there . , must be an end to all the ease, and abandon or society in his pre sence, that random thoughts and careless opinions will be seized upon, and at some future and convenient time divulged to the world." It is not the gentleman connected with the newspaper press of England who is the penciller by the way, the sketcher of fashionable sketches, the betrayer of confidence, the purveyor of scandal. No, it is the attache—the fashionable member of the fashionable club—the man who has and who holds his status in society—that is the retailer of " the after-dinner nonsense." He it is who brings his budget of gossip to the market, and sells it for what he can get; and he it is who is most loud in his denunciations against newspaper men, be cause his proffered services have by them been rejected with loathing and contempt. The intelligence from Switzerland is of an unfavourable character. The excitement caused by the suicide or assassi nation of M. LEu appears to be still on the increase, and several persons of rank and the greatest respectability had been arrested in consequence of the confessions of a man named MULLER, who calls himself an accomplice. The Basle Gazette of the 29th ult. says, that no reasonable and impartial man believes that Dr. PFYFFER, who has been arrested on the pretended confession of MULLER, as an ac complice in the reported murder of M. LEO, had anything to do with the affair. The Federal Gazette of Zurich expresses the same opinion, and, in announcing the arrest of Captain WEGELLN on the same charge, states that no man, how ever respectable, is now safe. The Grand Council of Lucerne, however, actuated by the wildest spirit of perse cution against the Liberal party, takes all this man's evi dence for gospel, and acts on it. At a late meeting of the Council the President read the Confession of MuLLER, with the testimony in support of it, and also the report of the jus tices appointed to investigate the affair, from which it ap pears these magistrates assert that they have reasons to be lieve that deep and odious machinations have been carried on in the dark. We fear that from such detestable means to excite one party against another the most lamentable results may be anticipated. Switzerland and the United States are doing everything in their power to make republics odious in the eyes of all good citizens. We have received Madrid journals of the 2d inst. The Gazette of the previous day puts an end to all doubt about the assembling of the Cortes, and contains a royal decree con voking that body on the 15th of December. Before that period about forty- five vacancies must be filled up—new Members to supply the vacancies caused by the acceptance of offices under the Crown, or other causes. From all ac counts, however, nearly the whole of the new Members will be Ministerialists. The NARVAEZ Cabinet is not very scrupulous as to means; and, accordingly, arrangements have been made by which majorities must be in their favour. Reports prevailed that the whole of the garrison of Madrid was to be changed, and other regiments substituted, more likely to be under the influence of the Queen-Mother and NARvAEz. The General, it is said, will have everything in the army according to his own views, and CHRISTLNA sup ports him. He is wise in his generation, for without the adhesion of the army he could not remain in office for one week. The Bourse was closed on Saturday, the Ist, it being Ali Saints' Day. A sort of panic took place on the Paris Bourse on Satur day, said to have been caused by the advices from London, announcing the depression in the English Funds and the resolution of the Bank to raise its discount to three -and-a- half per cent. Great crowds flocked to the Bourse, which was extremely agitated, and a great deal of business was done. For the Account the Five per Cents. and Three per Cents. had fallen about 25c., and the new Loan, 40c. Shares in the Great Northern line had fallen lower than on any previous occasion, and closed at 7351. Most of the other lines fell in proportion. The Ministerial journals contain articles on the present crisis and the anticipated rise in ,the price of grain, which they consider greatly exaggerated. The Epoque, for merly the Globe, a Government journal, says :-" As to the financial crisis, one word is a sufficient answer to all these predictions of ruin and bankruptcy. The Chambers have decided that the railroads shall be executed by companies, and capital has been naturally invested in shares. There have been variations in prices, as must always happen. But has money been wanting? No. Have works been suspended? Look at the numerous edifices rising around-tell us what branch ofindustry is really in sufferance. We proclaim with confidence that every affair which is pre sented with honour and solidity finds more capital than it re quires. The harvest has been bad in some parts of the country, but it has been tolerably good in other parts, and positively good in several departments. We do not live on potatoes alone, as they do in Ireland, and by taking the measures, required by circumstances, we shall have sufficient wheat, rye, maize chestnuts, and potatoes, to supply those districts which have suffered in their crops. Of those who say that moral feeling is lost in France, we ask if they reckon themselves among those who have forfeited their probity and independence. Assuredly they still hold themselves to be most honest, most independent. Why, then, should they not believe their neighbours to be as much so as they are? If, then, the old press, instead of writing under the influence of its rancorous passions, would write under the influence of truth and modera tion, it would find that things are not going on so badly as it is sa ready to represent." The Journal des Debats thus endeavours also to dissipate alarm as to the state of the crops :- " Theevil of a panic has no limit; it is contagious, and spreads without meeting a cheek, and seizes possession equally of the most violent, and most temperate, and most cautious dispositions. No Interest is more irritable than that of the stomach when it believes itself to be compromised. Under such circumstances a popular panic Increases to gigantic proportions, and produces in a few days the most deplorable results. We still recollect the disturbances which prevailed during the year 1839 throughout the country situated between the Gironde and the Loire, and the scenes of vio lence which occurred at Manure, at Litcon, and at Brault, under the influence of the fear of a famine. We refer to those events because present circumstances are similar; and we trust that the results of the present apprehension will not be more un. pleasant than what followed that momentary crisis. The harvest of the year 1839 was but indifferent throughout England, Ireland, France, and parts of Germany ; and, as it always happens under such circumstances, England, whose consumption generally exceeds its production, was obliged to make larger purchases abroad than usual. The price of wheat in England rose in that year to 735. a quarter, a price which it had not reached since the year 1816; and at that price the sliding scale opened a large field for foreign importation. Still the im. portation was not exorbitant ; it did not exceed 7,312,428 hecto litres-that is, only the double of the usual average amount of imports. 7,1)(10,000 hectolitres is, at most, but the 24th part of the produce of France. Had the entire amount been purchased in our markets, the country would certainly have suffered; but it would not have incurred the risk of a famine. The Government, however, in order to relieve the existing apprehension, thought it necessary by an ordinance, dated the 25th of January, 1839, to forbid the exportation of grain. Such a measure was eeonomi. catty, as well as politically, a wise measure ; for political parties on one hand, and commercial speculations on the other, were already _ hastening to take advantage of the popular fears. Eiperience demonstrated how much exaggerated had been the apprehensions entertained, and after a few months the ordinance having been withdrawn, the trade in corn re sumed its free and regular course in our ports. The expor tation of grain in France during the last quarter of the year 1839 did not amount to more than 870,124 hectolitres-that is to say, to about the double of the annual average. But we must remark by the way, that all this great foreign trade in corn in France merely affects the re-exportation of grain, one of the prin cipal branches of commerce in Marseilles; the native produce of France feels not its effects. In the mean time English speculation is confined to the countries where grain is one-third or one-half cheaper than in France, or to the grain from those countries stored in France. What is the fact at the present moment, when specu lation and a panic combined cause the prices to rise in Western Europe. The fact is that at Odessa, Riga, Dantzic, those great storehouses for corn, the price of wheat remains still at 12, 15, and 17 francs the hectolitre (we speak of middling quality), whilst with us the price is 21E, and in London, at the end ej October, the price was 555. 4d, the quarter, that is 24f. the hectolitre. If we now calculate the difference between the prices in the Baltic and in the Black Sea, and add the expense of freight and commission, and if we add a duty of 2f. imposed upon wheat exported from France when the price exceeds 25f. the hectolitre, we shall find that, at the price of 27f. for the English purchaser, our consumers would be sufficiently protected both by the competition of foreign grain and by the nature of our tariffs." The Journal des Debats, however, though generally con ducted with ability, occasionally display s crude notions, which will not bear the test of examination ; for instance, in refer ring to the numerous Cabinet Councils held lately, it comes to this conclusion :-" The most likely result is an Order in Council opening provisionally the ports of Ireland, but the ports of Ireland only, to foreign corn. Nevertheless, if we are to judge by the language held by the Viceroy. of Ireland, we may believe that the English Ministry is inclined to wait until it has acquired more complete information. However this may be, the resolution come to will probably be soon known." This shows how sadly the writer is puzzled to form any idea of what will happen. The inference that the Irish ports only will be opened displays great ignorance, for of what use would it be to confine this measure to Ireland? If corn were admitted into that country free of duty, it would in a few days find its way into England on the same terms. The ports of both countries, if opened at all, must be opened at the same time. ' In the Rot& (a Paris journal generally devoted to naval affairs), we find an article on the present state of the French and English navy, extending to more than six columns. It claims credit, and justly, for the superiority of the French in constructing large vessels of war, but allows England the advantage in building smaller vessels, such as corvettes, brigs, &c. It wisely, however, comes to the conclusion that "France may build the finest vessels in the world, and have also the largest navy, but to have a grand marine, which may live more than a day, she must have a vast maritime commerce ; she must have large and flourishing colonies, such laws for favouring navigation, even should that be done at the expense of other interests. At present we have nothing of all these, not even the right of pre-emption for forest trees, a wise provision of the great COLBERT, of which one ruinous vote of the representatives of France deprived our royal marine. Our maritime corns merce is sinking more and more every day under the in • fluence of existing laws. As regards colonies, we have only ruins. This is the disastrous state of affairs ; and when the Chambers, which wish for a grand marine, shall have re-established by new laws whatever they have destroyed by law, then France will reap the fruits of a quarter of a century of sacrifices." The compara tive state of the two royal navies is thus stated :-" The French navy is numerically about one-third of that of Great Britain. This immense inequality is moreover greatly in• creased by the great number of three-deckers which the English possess. The number of vessels upon the stocks is nearly the same in both countries. Our neighbours are far from having any advantage over us as regards the construc tion of first-class vessels and frigates. They are incontes tably superior to us as regards the construction of inferior vessels, such as corvettes, brigs, schooners, &c. And if the artillery on board our (the French) vessels is in general as well-disposed as that on board the Eng lish ships, there are some notable improvements to be made on board all our vessels, by arranging our guns so as to be used either when giving chase or when in retreat, and also in the manner in which our vessels are equipped. In refe rence to the trade with China, the Constitutionnel contains the following sensible remarks, conveyed in a letter, it sayssfrom a person worthy of confidence :-" Notwithstanding the am bassadors and the commercial commission, we shall not obtain advantages from the treaty as long as the French will not make up their minds to drink tea, and the Chinese claret. Our commerce in this country will be always limited, from the want of a commercial organization, for which everything is yet to be done."

The sky has been almost constantly clear and bright, and so warm as to merit the designation of the Summer of St. Martin. All accounts from the country concur in declaring that there never was a more favourable seed-time.—Paris Paper. -- MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 4,000 bales, including 1,200 on speculation. Prices had an up ward tendency. It is said that the Ministers have resolved to appoint a Commission to inquire into the extent of the failure of the potato crop in this country as well as Ireland, and also to express an opinion what remedial measures should be adopted before any Order in Council is issued for the reduction of the duties upon the admission of foreign corn, or of opening the ports free. Such a course, if decided upon by the Cabinet, must lead to the greatest misery among that larger portion of the Queen's subjects who are already severely pressed by the high prices paid for food, and who unquestionably must suffer still further by the inevitable result of a protracted inquiry into a matter which'is beyond doubt already. The state of the markets for grain and potatoes, for rice, and all ether articles forming the leading edibles of the millions,sufficiently testify the fact that some remedial measures are instantly required. The season is already :far advanced, and, after so mild an autumn, winter will, in all probability, soon set in with severity. And yet the people are to be told that a Commis sion is now about being appointed to inquire, while, before any report can be made, famine, with all its 4oncomi • tant miseries, may desolate the land. If such be the result of the deliberations of the many Cabinet Councils that have sat of late, it may be truly said that they have ended almost in nothing. It is with much satisfaction we find that a subscription has been set on foot for the purpose of presenting a testimonial to Lieutenant Waghorn, for his long-continued, zealous, and highly successful endeavours to demonstrate the feasi bility (now a groat fact) of having communication with the East Indies within a month. A most influential com mittee has been formed to promote the object in view. We wish it every possible success. There are accounts from New York this morning one day later, in point of date, than those before received, The most important feature is, that the wheat and flour markets were rising, in consequence of very large orders having been re ceived out for exportation to British ports. The Public Securities have advanced a trifle this morn ing. Consols for the Account have touched 96; they left off on Saturday afternoon at 95 1 / 2 3 4; for Money the price has ruled from 95% to 96. Bank Stock is from 200 to 202 ; and the premium upon Exchequer-bills has advanced from 20s. to 265. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have advanced to 56. ; the Spanish Five per Cents are more firm, at 28%; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 59. A very limited amount of business has been transacted in Stock and Shares to-day. Lord Mayor's-day has had but few charms for the holders of depressed Scrip. In consequence of various alterations rendered imperatively necessary in the official Share list, the publication has been delaye4 to so late an hour that it is doubtful if it can be ready for our first impression. It may be said, however, tha the market is more firm. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. Bank Stock I per Cent. Reduced - . 9434% 3 per Cent.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—The New York packet-ship Ox ford, Captain Rathbone, arrived here this afternoon, after a voyage of twenty-four days, during which she had expe rienced very bad weather. She sailed from New York on the 16th ult., and has therefore brought papers. from that city one day later than the last arrival. The Oxford has twenty one - cabin passengers. She reports the arrival of the ship Ashburton at New York on the 16th ult. We do not find any news of importance in these papers. The following are a few extracts : The Commercial publishes a letter from Washington Insinu ating that Mr. Buchannan will resign, and .fir. Walker take his place ; and that Mr. Huger will resign his seat in the Senate, which will be taken by Mr. Calhoun. The same writer thinks that Mr. Dromgoole will be elected Senator from Virginia. The Secretary of the Navy returned to Washington yesterday. During his brief absence from the seat of government Mr. Bancroft has visited all the naval stations north of the Potomac, which he had not previously inspected. He has given his careful attention to the condition of the navy yards at Portsmouth, New York, and Philadelphia. He has embraced the opportunity also to visit the Naval Asylum at the latter city. A busy week's work.— Union. COMMERCIAL. WEDNESDAY, P.m..--The news from Europe by the Great Britain continues to be highly important. Great Importance is attached to the partial failure of the potato crop. Letters have been received from the continent, ordering potatoes to be shipped from here. Besides grain and dour, cheese has con. tinned to go forward to England ever since the tall season com menced in greater quantities than usual, and at higher prices. As soon as the news by the steamer transpired, there was a good deal of excitement in the market. The dour and grain dealers were very active. Flour advanced halts dollar per barrel, and nearly 5,000 barrels were taken, mostly for export. Wheat went up five cents, and corn was held at an advance. Ashes are a little quicker. 'I he cotton market is depressed. Exchange on England is at least j per cent. lower. Sterling is sold freely at 10911 to 1094.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. must confess that I was startled and astonished the other day to read in your columns what purported to be quoted from a recent address delivered at a Mechanics' Insti tution, for, in these extracts I see a fac simile of my own mind—" its very form and pressure," veluti in speculum, the imagining was in many cases the:ississima verba of an address delivered some twenty years ago at the Mechanics' Institu-' tion, Halifax, Yorkshire. It was printed litera scripta manet. It is a curious coincidence and singular evidence of minds being sometimes cast in the same mould of thought, n'hnpotte. I was among the earliest advocates of Mechanics' Institu tions.—l am respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, November 4.. J. MURRAY, Ph. D. FLANDERS and HA viBURGH MAIL BRUSSELS, Nor. 6.—A baker at Antwerp has made some suc cessful trials of a mixture of rye flour with the flour of American maize. The Governor of the province of East Flanders has directed the Commissioners of DiStricts to call once in a month a general meet ing of the burgomaSters in their resort, for the purpose of consider ing means to empley persons out of work, and to provide food for the indigent. The-first meeting took place on the 29th of Octcber, and there is every reason to expect this measure will prove effectual. fhe Committee which has betn formed to apply to the Chamber for a reform in the Post-office, founded on a uniform rate, has met several times within these few days. We hope that Belgium will soon obtain - this great improvement. Petitions to the Cham bers on this subject are circulated In sevaral cities of the kingdom, and are covered with signatures. We hear that bands of beggars have been formed in the com munes of Hal and of Leerew St. Pierre, where they rove about in the night, and visit the farm-houses, where they ask for bread, and if there is none demand money. It is hoped that the local authori sies will be able by their energy to stop these culpable proceedings, which are extending in an alarming maner. BRUSSELS, Nov. 7.—The King and Queen with their children, who' were to return at the end of this week, will Hot arrive before Sunday evening; their Majesties are to leave Paris on Saturday and stop at Compeign.

NAVAL* INTELLIGENCE. Ponisitotrrit, Nev. 9.:—Her Majesty's ship President is ordered to take on board six nine.pounder field guns, with the reiniiite stores, and 300 rounds of shot, &c.; they,are to be landed'at the Isle of France, and kept in readiness fOi any emergency. These ordnance stores are expected this day or to morrow from Wool., wich, by the Dee steam transport, and when embarked, the Presi dent will put to sea. • • The Juno, 26; will pot sail until tomorrow for the Pacific ; orders were sent down yesterday .for all the supernumeraries and packages for the ships at the Brazils, to be taken out, and the Juno .goes direct round the Horn, to join Jim-Admiral Sir G. Seymour. _ The Rapid screw steamer has been brought alongside a hulk to have her stores landed, and prepafed for being docked. Her masts will be taken out, and when in dock the screw altered. The Scourge steamer hauls from the Dock-yard jetty tomorrow, and will go to Spithead directly. SLe has taken in 40 tons of water, and 100 tons of coals, but not any provisions, as the party will carry one or two days' supply with them ; she has also 30 thin. teen.inch shells, and 50 fifty-six pound shot. The shells will be filled at Spithead. As it would not be safe for the men to be at the wheel when the mortar is tired over their heads with a charge of 201bs. of powder, an.additional wheel has been fitted between the aftermost funnel and the mainmast—there, the steersman and the binnacle will be perfectly safe. As the experiments about to be tried in the Scourge with heavy ordnance are merely to test their effect upon the engines and machinery, every possible precaution has been adopted to prevent injury by the concussion. The weight of the timber on which the mortar and bed rest is estimated at about ten tons. The paddle boats of Captain Smith are to be fitted in the Scourge when she is commissioned for sea service. The St. Vincent carries Admiral Sir Charles Ogle's flag, which was hoisted on Friday morning, In addition to the offl,:ers which we named before—Mr. Robert Gutherie, surgeon, Messrs. Goldin and Robertson, assistant-surgeons, and the Rev. John Marshall, M.A , chaplain, are appointed to the St. Vincent. Lieutenant Henry Gage Morris will leave the Juno, and ultimately be Ad miral Sir Charles Ogle's flag lieutenant. The weather prevents the Nautilus from returning to her cruizing ground off Shoreham and Brighton, and she remains at Spithead with the President and Juno. Ti King of Hanover lurs conferreßi the Guelphic Order, fourth class, on Baron Knesebeck, who was in attendance on his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge during his recant visit to the King of Hanover, at Hanover. The Indian mail just arrived brings the intelli gence from Bombay that Brigadier General Hughes, C. 8., commanding the northern division of the Bombay army, ob tains a colonelcy by the demise, at Edinburgh, of Major- General Mayne, C. 8., colonel of the 26th regiment native infantry. Gen. Hughes is married to the youngest daughter of John Taylor Gordon, Esq., M.D., formerly of Caledonia place, Clifton, and so well known in this city as Dr. Taylor, and to whom plate was presented from H.R.H. the Duchess of Kent and others, styling him the " Poor man's friend."- . - Brigtol Mercury.
