THE BERLIN CHOIR. The Directors of the Grand National Concerts, in conse quence of an error that has occurred in the announcement made by M. and Madame Oury, for their CONCERT at BRIGHTON, THIS MORNING, think it but right to state that the Berlin Choir ars not at liberty to enter into any arrangements during their present stay in England without the sanction of the Executive Committee. As the error above-mentioned has been quite unintentional, they are most unwilling to cause any public disappointment, and they have therefore given permission on this occasion for the Choir to proceed to Brighton, and perform at the Concert as announced. They will return at half-past fiTi o'clock, and execute three of their most favourite morceaux this evening at the Grand National Concerts. —Nov. 25. . HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

The two moat important meetings that have been yet held on the subject of the Papal aggression were held on Friday; the one being a county meeting of the freeholders of Yorkshire, the other a meeting of the diocese of Oxford ; we make use of the words "on the subject of the Papal aggression," and we make use of them advisedly, for while at the glorious Yorkshire meeting the true principles of Protestantism were nobly upheld by Earl FITZWILLL J , and as nobly responded to by the assembled freeholders, at the meeting of the clergy of Oxford the language held by the Bishop and the conduct pursued by him, was such as to afford the greatest possible encouragement to the foe without the Protestant camp, and to th e spy and traitor within it. Earl 11 -,ITz WILLItiIt, in proposing the first resolution at the York ire meet ing, put the question upon its proper basis when be said— "This is no question—l know it will be so represented both on the right hand and on the left—both by the Roman Catholics and some portions of Dissenters—that this is a question between the Church of .England and the Church of Rome.—(Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I en gage in no such question. Ido not ask you to join with me in the resolution which I am about to propose to you on any ground of this kind.—(Loud cheers.) This is no y t testieu between the Church of Rome and the Church \ 7: imgrand.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") -- This is no dispute between the Bishop of Rome and the ArChhishop of Canterbury. Tnat is not the question. Thb question is between the doctrines and the Rbrar p owers , of tbech of Rome and th e R e f ormat i on itself. ' Tbk sis the true state of the case, it is for the pur - poise/of upholding the doctrines of the Reformation, mode especially of the absolute right of private judg 3. sent on the Scriptures, on the part of every individual against the attempts of all who would either make the THE SUN, Scriptures a sealed book to the multitude, or endeavour to impose authoritatively their own interpretation upon their fellows—it is against those, be they who they may, Pope, or Bishop, or Conference, who would fain deprive us, the laity, of our religious liberty, and bring us under the yoke of a sacerdotal despotism, that the country is now moved throughout its length and breadth ; and all who would fain so bring us under that yoke, whether they bail from Rome, from Oxford, from Exeter, or from London, are in the eyes of every true Protestant, usurpers and aggressors, against whose usurpations we protest, and whose aggressions we resist. If, as the Bishop of OXFORD would fain have us be lieve, this is merely a question of disputed jurisdic tion between the Bishop of Roma and the Bishops of England—a mere question of whose is " the true original old Green Dragon," the Roman or the Anglican—then we say that is a question with which we have nothing whatever to do. If the Bishop of OXFORD repudiates the spiritual supremacy of the QUEEN, which it appears he does, from his saying "it touches the QUEEN as the head of our na tionality," it matters not that he also repudiates the supremacy of the POPE, because he only does so to arrogate to himself Papal power ; and if we must be reduced to the condition of slaves of a sacerdotal despotism, it matters not the tenth part of the hair whether the sacerdotal despot sign his name Pio NoNo or SAM. OXON ; it is the principle, not the man, against which we Protestants protested at the Reformation, and again in 1688,'and which protest, in this year of grace 1850, we solemnly renew. The Bishop of OXFORD, while " protesting against the pretended partition of England into dioceses by the Bishop of Roma," was, in fact, encouraging the continuance of the aggressions by refusing to listen to any observations condemnatory of those traitors within the camp, by whose practices the POPE has been encouraged to pursue the line of con duct against which the Bishop of OXFORD protests. The following scene sufficiently proves the animus of the Bishop, who, in his long and Jesuitical opening oration, endeavoured to throw dust in the eyes of the assembled clergy, among whom, however, were some " honest men and true," who soon unmasked the Bishop : " The Rev. Mr. Watts, at some length, expressed his conviction that the enemies which the Church had most to fear were those within its own pale.—(Question.) " The Bishop requested the B,everend Gentleman to address himself strictly to the question. The object of the meeting was to protest against the aggressions of the Church of Rome, and the meeting could not enter upon the consideration of other matters.--(Hear, hear.) " Mr. Watts repeated his observations, and was called to order twice, amidst considerable applause, after which he desisted. " The Rev. W. H. Cox, rector of St. Martin's, Oxford, maintained that unless the clergy of the diocese were allowed to protest against the errors of Rome, the pro test in which it was proposed they should unite would be inadequate to the occasioe. He believed the protest to be inadequate in some points, and irrelevant in others. They hal no right to be surprised at the con duct of the Bishop of Rome after what had occurred in the Church itself; but at the same time they had much reason to be thsnkful at the uncompromising tone as sumed by the First Minister of the Crown.—(Cries of Oh, ob,' with laughter, and some hisses.) The Prime Minister had put his finger upon the real source of all the present mischief.—(Cries of Question,' and some applause.) " The Bishop suggested to the Rev. Gentleman that it was inexpedient to introduce into such a meeting topics of a political character. They must lead to dis cu►sions which had nothing to do with the real question before them.—(Hear.) " Mr. Cox said he was obliged for the correction; but he had not been the first to allude to political sub jects. He would abstain, however, from further refe rence to this subject. The reverend gentleman, who was heard with impatience, proceeded to contend that the real enemies of the Church were within the Church. Many who held preferments had gone over to Rome. A hundred members of that University had joined the Papal communion, and more were expected to follow ; and bishops' examining chaplains had asserted the fitness of candidates to fill offices in the Church whilst they were repudiating the Church altogether. On the other hand, the slightest deviation from orthodoxy on the part of evangelical clergymen had excited disapprobation. — (Cries of • Question.') " The Bishop said he really must interfere. Mr. Cox was going wholly beyond the question. The ob jet of the meeting was simply to protest against the Pope's aggression, and that was the only subject which could be considered." Is conduct such as this the sort of conduct which this great Protestant community has a right to expect from a dignitary occupying the position of the Bishop of OXFORD ? Is the inferential denial of the QUEEN'S supremacy, or even the neglect on such an occasion of positively asserting it, to be tolerated in her MAJESTY'S Lord High Almoner, who, while charging the Church of Rome in direct terms, that " she taught as truth, and necessary truth, that which contradicts GOD'S Holy Word," yet, following the example of his brother of EXETER, advisedly treated her:as a Church4and as such having authority, and thus keeps the door open for a transaction with her whenever opportunity shall serve ? It is delightful to turn from the Jesuitry of this meeting to the man liness and the honesty of that meeting of laymen in the Castle-yard at York—an honesty and manliness not confined to one side only, for Mr. thammis LANG DALE., Sir W. LAWSON, and Mr. CONSTABLE MAX. WELL, the representatives of three of the oldest Roman Catholic families in the county, came forward and defended their spiritual chief, to whom they pay allegiance, with a manliness which we cannot but admire, however much we differ from them in opinion. The speech of Mr. LANGDALE, in deed, contained many passages which, had it previ ously undergone a clerical revision, would no doubt have been excised, for instance, in the openness of his heart he blurted out the following : " Did the Noble Earl think, when he afforded us his vote in Parliament—did he suppose that our only object was a desire to obtain a seat in Parliament? " Earl Fitzwilliam—lt was the only object you stated. " Mr. Langdale continued—Did he suppose that poli tical privileges were all that we were obliged lo him for receiving?—(A cry,' Oh, now it's comir- 6 out.' )" Yes, it has come out, and we :low know that in the Roman Catholic vocabulary, political privilege means spiritual and tempotil supremacy. We 'thank Mr. LAN GDALE for tile information, and shall be prepared to act on it hereafter. Do not, however, let us be misunderstood ; whilst we would prevent the supre macy of the Romanists, because that supremacy is in consistent with the existence of any other sect of !ell. gionists, we would secure to them the fullest equality. If, to use the words of Earl FITZWILLIAM, "if there is any civil right of which the Roman Catholics—if there is any lurking statute which can be hunted out by a curious antiquarian lawyer—if there is any. thing of that kind which still abridges their rights ) and still renders them liable to vexatious prosecution—l say still, notwithstanding Cardinal WOJEMAN and the POPE, let that obnoxious statute be repealed ;" but, on ; the other hand, we join the Noble Earl in calling upon all those who, being emancipated from the spiritual slavery in which their inrefathers were held, kno w and value the blessings of spiritual freedom, if they desire that the should be re tained for them, if they desire that the services of their various churches should be performed in an in telligible manner, if they d es i re the power of exer cising their ownjudgment, and gi v i ng th e i r own i n. terpretation to the passages :of ,Scripture, to at once declare their opinion in favour of the principles of the Reformation, It will be remembered that, on Friday t vetting, we took occasion to explain the mission with which the Honourable Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia has been entrusted to the home Government. Upon the importance of that mission we shall doubtless have many opportunities of expatiating; yet, from the total silence maintained upoki the sulject by our con• temporaries, and from our sense of its exceeding value'as a means of re-establishing cordiality between ourselves and our colonial possessions, we revert again thus early to the abstract merits of the pro position. Before us are lying the collected documents relat ing to the scheme published in Portland, by order of the Convention. From these documents we learn in detail the excitement produced more or less throughout the whole of the eastern provinces of North America by the prospect of obtaining the en couragement of the enterprise from the heads of the English Government. Meetings and correspon dence among the local inhabitants go far to show the interest taken in th e matter by the more active and intelligent members of the population. On the 31st of last July the in augurative assemblage appears to have taken place in the City Hall of Portland, previous minor meetings having been holden, on the 24th at Kentville, on the 18th at Pictou, on the 231 at Dorchester, on the 20th at Truro, on the 23i at Wallace, on the 23d at Pug- LONDON, wash, on the 16th at Amherst, on the 16th again at Annapolis Royal; also at St. John, at Frederickton, at Bridgetown, at Calais, and at Bangor. Every where, in short, throughout the State of Maine, throughout Nova Scotia, and throughout New Bruns wick the suggestion has been eagerly hailed as one fraught with inevitable advantages to those three im portant provinces, and scarcely a whisper has been heard in any quarter that could be construed into a serious objection to the undertaking. Of its practi cability all have acknowledged themselves satisfied. Of its proving an enterprise of a most remunerative character not an individual has expressed himself doubtful. The incontestable excellence of the entire project has extorted commendation even from the most hesitating and incredulous. Among the numerous advantages certain to result from carrying the project into execution, two assume to themselves a supreme and paramount importance. First, the proposed railway must develop all the industrial resources at present lying dormant in Maine, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Secondly, it must indisputably facilitate the intercommunica tion between the European and American continents. Not a single argument is assuredly required to satisfy the mind of the first-mentioned consequence; and in reference to the accuracy of the second, we need only point to the route from New York, by way of Port land and Halifax, to the United Kingdom, as the shortest in every sense from the new to the old world across the Atlantic. At an adjourned meeting of the Railway Conven tion, in Portland, on the Ist of August, 1850, a document was produced, of a character so lucid and striking as to illustrate, in the most brilliant manner the accuracy of the last-mentioned statement. From this document (inserted at page 100 of the proceedings) published by order of the Convention), it becomes evident how enormous the advantages would be to the commerce, arising out of this extension of rail way communication from Portland to Halifax. Calculating the ordinary rate of travelling by channel-boats, by steam-vessels, and by express trains, including all stoppages, the speaker estimated the time occupied in traversing the space between London and New York, by way of Holyhead, Dublin, Galway, and Halifax, at seven days, twelve hours, and five minutes. This, be it remembered, more over, with a margin for delays, transhipments, &c., &c.! Taking into account the enormous distance required to be traversed even by this, the shortest line of communication between England end Ame rica-263 miles from London to Holyhead, 63 from Holyhead to Dublin, 120 from Dublin to Galway) 2,165 from Galway to Halifax, 120 from Halifax to the boundary between Nova Scotia and New Bruns wick, 210 through New Brunwick via St. John to Calais in Maine, 154 from Calais to Waterville, and 410 miles additional from Waterville to New York— the brevity of the time consumed in the journey, according to this moderate and reasonable calculation, is surprising even in an age when science has ren dered us by its many familiarised marvels almost in capable of astonishment. Already the railway communications of North America reach as far as Waterville, so that the line re quiring yet to be constructed would commence in Maine, and after traversing the south of New Brunswick would bend down between Northumberland Strait and the Bay of Fundy until its termination in the capital of Nova Scotia. According to this scheme, the traveller after leaving New York would pass through Boston, Portland, Waterville, Bangor, Calais, St. John, and Truro, taking ship at Halifax, skirting Cape Race, the southernmost point of New foundland, and so reaching in succession Galway, Dublin, Holyhead, and London, in the brief interval already specified. What renders the project yet more satisfactory is the circumstance that its execution is not likely to be retarded by engineering difficulties in any way insurmountable. From Halifax by Truro and Amhurst to Green Bay, at the line of New Brunswick, the distance is estimated at 124 miles, and in the whole of this line the sole obstacle is said to be the range of the Cobequid Hills. The results of the survey have been given even to the meat detailed particulars by Captain lIEN. DERSON, and in every respect prove to be in the highest degree satisfactory—the gradients throughout being somewhat as follows : level or under 20 feet per mile for 66 miles, from 20 to 40 feet in 37 miles, from 40 to 50 feet in 10 miles, from 50 to 60 feet in 7 miles, and from GO to 70 feet in 4 miles. Equally gratifying in regard to the practicability of the route from Thediac Bay to St. John's are the subsequent statements, where it is intimated that many engineer ing difficulties may be avoided by keeping in the valleys of the Kennebecasis and the Petitcodia, Fur= ther testimony of the reasonableness of the proposed enterprise at the present moment might be deemed superfluous. We shall content ourselves, conse quently, with reiterating the good wishes already ex pressed by ourselves on Friday evening, and espe cially with anticipating the beneficial consequences which must in the end, we feel satisfied, result to the entire system of colonial government from the tillSsion which has brought to England the Hon. Josxpn How; the Provincial Ser.retary of Nova Scotia, ISHING ExTRAGIIDINART Llt titE VENS.—In con sequence of the Middle Level Drainage Works, the bed of Whittlesea Mere is ifow laid dry, with the exception of a few occasional patches, the mud retaining its softness and depth as it Ives when covered with water. During the past week a great number of men might be seen daily catching the eels on the surface, and putting them into nets and baskets. Many hundred atones have been thus caught. To support themselves on the top of the mud many schemes are resorted to, the Most common being pieces of wood tied to the feet ) tOtnewhat resembling snow shoes. With all the precautions used, several have found themselves suddenly up to their middle in the mud; and their efforts to get out, and the re sults when out, were often highly amusing, and the figures they cut sufficiently picturesque. One man, the other days for want of a better article, pulled off his shirt, tied tip the sleeves and neck, and then filled it with eels. Many have been caught of four end five pounds weight, and the price charged in the neighbouring towns is from 2d. to 3d, a pound —theArielge Chronicle, The United Pt.tta new mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain C-Anstock, which would leave New York on the 16th istots, may be expected to arrive at LiVeitool oh Wednesday morning next.

A FEW OBSERVATIONS ON NERVOUS AFFECTIONS, the Result of an Extensive Experience in the Treatment of Nervous Dis orders; with some Remarks on the Use and Abuse of Hy - doprathy. By Richard Dawson, M.D., j-c. Dr. Dawson bas conferred a great benefit on suf fering humanity by the publication of this small but most valuable volume, which contains the result of seven years' extensive practice, during which there has scarcely been a variety or form of nervous: disorder that has not repeatedly come under his personal ob servation. The medical profession as a body has for some years past completely ignored the existence of the nerves; the pathology of the nervous system is dif ficult to study and to comprehend, and they have in general therefore desisted from the attempt, until "nervousness" has, in the ordinary medical vocabulary, come to signify either a mere " fancied disease," or simply a symptom of indigestion. Dr. Dawson was induced from witnessing, while on the continent, the original and: successful practice by M. Lallemand, to devote his attention to the study of ner vous disorders. Some few years since he placed before the profession in this country the mode of treatment which had been so successfully pursued by M. Laliemand, and in the present volume he gives us the results of his own practice in the treatment of nervous diseases, during the last seven years. We were struck at the very commencement of the work, by the very liberal manner in which Dr. Dawson speaks of plans proposed by other medical men for the cure of nervous disorders ; he allows to each plan, even to homeopathy and hydropathy, which have ever been the " anathema maranatha" of the so called legitimate practitioner, its respective merit, and admits cadidly that he has seen benefit derived from each plan. On this subject he says : " We find some practitioners recommending indiscri minately the use of certain medicines; and this too with out any fixed or determinate purpese. Some, for in stance, rely wholly upon morphia, others upon kreosote, while a third class look up to lsydrocianic acid as the universal panacea. Again, the followers of Hahnemann believe in homeopathy as the only effectual means of curing disease; whilst the disciples of Priestnitz place their sole confidence in the virtues of water. " Abundant opportunities almost daily present them selves to me of witneesing the efficacy of these different modes of treatment, as pursued by the roost celebrated of their followers; and they have convinced me that all these plans—when judiciously applied—produce more or less benefit. It is neither just, nor consistent with the principles of true science, to condemn without trial any mode of treatment, simply because of its novelty, or of its originality; or because certain of its profes6ors may be weak enough to maintain its universal iniahibility. It is the duty of every scientific physician to investigate most carefully every rneens that may seem at all likely to benefit his patient; and my cwn experience assures me that something useful, in particular cases, will be found both in hydropathy and homoeopathy. " It has repeatedly occurred to me to see patients who stated that they had been for years in the habit of taking large quantities of opening medicines to keep op the due action of the bowels, but still without the eligh:- est advantage or even effecting the purpose ; yet have 1 seen these persons derive infinitely more benefit, in a few weeks, from a few globules,' and strictly attending to the admirable dietetic rules prescribed by Hahnemann, vim., giving up the use of wine, spirits, and all such sti mulants—than could possibly have been derived from the adoption of all the routine discipline so commonly insisted on. "It may be said, and, I have no doubt, with a great deal of truth, that the abstaining from the use of wine and ardent spirits, with the strict attention to diet, &e., were really the means of cure ; and that the minute doses of medicine in the globules were merely incen tives to regimen, but in every other particular wholly inert. Upon this, however, as a purely practical mar, I need only observe that it matters but ♦ery little to the patient by what means his health has been restored, so that .he perfectly rogain it ; nor can it interest him much what particular plan of treatment has been the truly efficacious one in curing his disorder. But if patients will not be satisfied without taking large quan tities of medicine; they may as well be gratified and amused with ' globules' or something at least equally harmless, so that they may sustain no injury, while pursuing a rational mode of living, and one conducive to health. Again I have seen similar benefit, after habitual and obstinate constipation of the bowels, and indeed con firmed ill hea:tb, from a few months' well regulated by dropathic treatment; and such patients have really ol:,- taMed inconceivably more advantage from strict observ ance of these rules, and due attention to diet, air, and exercise, than had accrued from the prolonged adoption of the plane recommended by the most judicious and skilful allopathic practitioners. In such cases regimen seems to have been an important element of success." But, in order properly to apply these and other reme dies, it is absolutely necessary to inquire into the nature of the case, and to ascertain the cause of the disease, in,order to remove it, instead of adopting the plan adopted by many practitioners, of pre scribing only for symptoms, and thus producing in many instances irreparable mischief, or, at the best, affording a merely temporary relief to be suceeeded by a relapse, while all the previous symptoms are greatly aggravated. In order to ascertain the cause and real nature of the disease, it is neces sary to study the temperathent of the patient. This study of the temperament has been of late years neglected by the medical profession as one of but minor importance, although the physicians of the olden time were wont to regard the temperament as the great modifying cause of all diseases. br. Dawson also considers the study of the temperament as of the very utmost im portance, and he relates several interesting cases in which, its persbhs of nervous temperament, symptoms have exhibited themselves which have induced a sus picion of the existence of serious organic disease, but which have been purely nervous affections, the result of morbid irritability, and which have yielded to treatrnent adopted its accordance with those views. The following appalling fact shows the irretrievable mischief which a medical man may commit who has not made nervous diseases his study. After relating an interesting history of nervous irritation of the knee joint which was mistaken for the inflammation which precedes white swelling, and treated accord ingly, until, fortunately, the patient came under Dr. Dawson's care, he thus proceeds— " The practitioner, th ere f ore , w h o h as no t p a id special attention to the se di seases, shou ld b e very care ful before deciding po s iti ve l y upon the nature of such affections ; but more especially if the patient be a lady of the nervous or bilio-nervous temperament. It is not long since that a very eminent surgeon, at one of our great hospitals, amputated above the knee, under the notion of the existence of white•swelling of the joint. But, to his great surprise, up on dissection after the operation, the joint rise found in a perfectly sound and healthy state, aid it turned out that the disorder was purely nervous and nothing more, " Those nervous affections aro not confined solely to the loints, for I am often called upon to prescribe for urination of such cases is frequently A i: a : n es : r e : l; 7 r invariably apprehend difficulty ; and, indeed, there 11 % 3 p e l: t a ti t e h n e t s b o e f gi t n h n i n k g i kind simi affections of the breast. are many instances of breasts having been removed fh a ee p o p do r iss e ic h dr e 2i r n ma d ibni ea a under the belief of the presence of cancer, when really no such disease existed. While this sheet is passirg through the press, I hate been called upon to prescribe for a hard and painful tumour in the left breast, which, upon examination, presented many of the symptoms of cancer. The tumour, so far as could be ascertained on the first visit, the patient being very nervous, and im patient of the slightest attempt at touch, was hard, and gate the stony, gristly feel of cancer. This lady in. formed me that her sister had her breast removed in consequence of suffering, as it was supposed, from a cancerous affection of the gland. " This person was of u highly nervous temperament, sad, on her fist visit, gave me the impression that she was under the inSuence of wine ; but, upon more strict inquiry, I found it was laudanum, to the habitual use of which she had become addicted. I declined giving an opinion, when I was informed that the amputation of the breast had been already resolved upon; and that she had called upon me for my advice, before submitting to the operation. " I advised her to go into the country, and try the effects of a pure, wholesome atmosphere, for a fortnight at least; to leave off the use of opium; to take warm sea water baths ; to use the plainest and simplest, but still mild and nutritious diet; to live principally upon milk, and thus remove say cause of const itutional tability. "During the first ten days her sufferings was moat intense, in consequence of being debarred her habitual doses of opium. Her firmness and strength of mind were put to the keeeset proof in altogether renouncing ;he' narcotic; and, as she intuit:led mo t it was only th e hope of being able to save her breast tnat could have in duced her to ferego its use. Upon her return to London, after somewhat more than three weeks sojourn in the country, the irritation was greatly reauted by the change of air, hathing, and mild diet; and n ow a thorou g h ex amination could be endured , without apprehension, and was, therefore, readily submitted to. It at once became eVident that the tumour was the result of irritation, in , an extremely sensitive and excitable system; and that the care-worn, anxious, peculiar expression of eounte nanee, which we observe so constantly in true cancer, was in this instance entirely occasion's' by mental anxiety, greatly increased and aggravated by the opium she was taking 4 " She was advised to continue the plan of living which had proved so beesoficial, and she faithfully promised me that she would not egain have recourse to opium, and I have every reason to believe that she will perfectly reselver." These cases show how important is the study of tem perament in relation to nervous disease, and how im possible it is for the medical roan who has not made nervous disorders his study to be a safe practitioner; but this notice, and our extracts, have alread y ex tended to such a length that we must reserve our ob servations of the very important remarks of Dr. Daw son on the causes of nervous disease, and on the use and abuse of hydropathy, to another opportunity. We cannot, however, conclude our remarks without recommending the attentive study of this most valua ble little work, not only to the profession but to the public—more particularly to those who are suffering from that most distressing class of affections which are vaguely comprehended under the term "Nervous ness."

The market closed steadily.—Rail way shares were dull at lower quotations. The Brazil mail lurnishes Gates from Rio de Janeiro of Oct. 11, and from Buenos Ayres of Sept. 7. The rate of exchange at Rio was last quoted 281. Consider able excitement prevailed owing to the hostile proceed ings of Buenos Ayres, and they injuriously affected business. In Coffee, however, the transactions had been of some importance, and moderate sales were made in piece goods, but great complaints were made of the diffi culty of obtaining payments from the retailers. Freights were more active. The Buenos Ayres report upon the state of the markets represent trade as having been dull during the previous month. The winter trade had been supplied, and the preparation for the summer bad hardly com menced. The days, es usual at that season, were short, the weather was unsettled, and the roads were bad. The stocks of goods in the warehouses were excessive, and owing to the severe drought of the last two years, and the fact that it had continued even up to the date of the present advices, the consumption of imports was materially diminished. The credit of the Government stands higher, less of its paper being in circulation, and a return of propitious weather would bring, perhaps, 2,000,000 head of cattle to the slaughter houses, and re suscitate trade in a remarkable degree. Files of papers and numerous letters from Australia have come to hand, and they snpply fuller intermediate news than that forwarded by the overland mail. At Sydney, during the three or four weeks preceding the 15th July, the arrivals of merchandise were very large. These consisted principally of the ordinary imports from Great Britain, and merchants, warehousemcc, and retailers, are represented as being all freely Importing. Some gold dust had been received from California. A rounder system of trading is considered to be imperatively necessary, otherwise the chance of profit in the Australian markets will be destroyed. When the wool ships arrive at Sydney, it is considered not to be improbable that goods may be sold at less than what they cost in London. The American advices are satisfactory as to the state of the money market, and cotton was cheaper. The accounts from Canada are highly encouraging. The Customs' revenue of Quebec will exceed the esti mate by .50,0001. The very boisterous weather has interfered with the arrival in due course of the mails from the Continent, and at Lloyd's the losses at sea reported this morning are very serious, while great apprehension exists that for some days to come we shall receive intelligence of wrecks, &c., from the boisterous gales of yesterday. In the English Stock Market there is very little doing, and the speech of the King of Prussia is still the general theme of discussion.
