He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in 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 matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterisenature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. "` Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of ♦melia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous part➢ in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gerdon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

A generous effort was made on Monday by General FABVIER to extort from the French Assembly a de cision authorisin g the liberation of the Emir Alm" EL-KADER. Unfortunately, the endeavour, like many previous ones of a similar character, proved unsuc cessful. The Republic, actuated by a dread of ex citing disturbances in Algeria, by causing the heroic captive to be conveyed eit'aer to St. Jean d'Acre or to Alexandria, has definitively resolved to continue indefinitely the period of his incarceration. In conse quence of this lamentable determination, the treaty solemnly entered into by the then governor of Al geria, the Due D'AUBL.4ILE, and the then commander of the province, Genes al LAMORICIERE will remain unfulfilled. The faith of the " great nation," given with all form and ceremony to one of the bravest men in modern history, :will continue broken, and the honour of the land of BAYARD and DUGUESCLIN, remain in this manner flagrantly compromised. Notwithstanding the , exordium of the speech, delivered:,hy General DJ SCHRAMM, the Minister of War, we cannot but regard his assertions of sympa thy for the' unfortunate leader of the Arabs and his rejection of the demand of General FABVIER as alto gether irreconcileable. All the protestations of gene rosity in the world will fail to convince the public mind of the magnanimity of a Government which refuses to accede to demands so simple as those relat ing to the ratification of a treaty deliberately entered into by the representatives of France; and the condi tions of which were afterwards deliberately evaded, first by the Monarchy, and then by the Republic. So painful is the sense entertained by us of the short coming of France in this particular, that we could wish to see in the hands of the Prince Louis NAPO LEON that plenitude of authority which could enable him by a single stroke of his pen to decree the freedom of the Emir. We are satisfied of one thing, and that is, that the heart of the PRESIDENT is sufficiently alive to the influence of generous emotions to be solicitous to yield this prac tical tribute of sympathy to a brave man, now under going the miseries of that imprisonment the bitterness of which he himself has experienced. Living now in the splendour of the Palace of the Elysee, as the chief magistrate of his native country—the country of his ancestral glory and of his dynastic daydreams —he must still cherish a lively recollection of his six years' captivity in the fortress of Ham, a recollection so lively as to inspire his mind with a sympathising regret for the confinement of ABD-EL-KADER in the chateau of Amboise. By a strange coincidence Amboise has been selected as the prison of the dauntless but fallen Arab that royal Amboise, whose very name, whose very walls, whose very atmosphere are associated with the idea of French generosity—Amboise, where the great Italian artist, LEONARDO DA VINCI, was received in his old age as the guest and favourite of the First FRANCIS—Amboise, where his bones have reposed unmolested since the time of their sepulture. In that palatial chateau, which was once the abode of LEO NARDO'' the luckless ABD-EL-KADER is now pining for the land of his many glorious recollections. Under all circumstances the incarceration of a great and brave-hearted warrior is always the object of peculiar sympathy and condolence. The imagination can scarcely form to itself more painful pictures than are suggested by the thought of RICHARD CCEVE DE LION in his dungeon, of FRANCIS the FIRST in bis Spanish captivity, of TOUSSAINT L'OVERTURE in his exile and imprisonment among the European mountains, or of NAPOLEON in his miserable insulation in the island of St. Helena. Added to these sorrowful ideas are others, perhaps on some accounts still more depress. ing, suggested by the retention of the unfortunate ABD-EL-KADER at Amboise. To him—the child of the desert, the only bounds to whose liberty have hitherto been the wide and trackless plains of the wilderness—the sense of bondage must be more irk• some and intolerable even than to the soul of the lion hearted PLANTAGENET. Especially must this be the case, moreover, when he calls to mind the fact that he was tricked into submission to the powers of France by the solemn engagements entered into with him for the preservation of bis personal freedom—en gagements made, not by a simple colonel of a regi ment, by a consul, or by an ambassador—but by the military commander of a French province, and by the Governor-General of Algeria. Why, the shameless eva sion of the promise given to the Emperor NAPOLEON, in 1815, by Captain MAITLAND ' lives in history as a damning accusation on our Government ! But Cap tain MAITLAND was merely the commander of the Bellerophon, whereas the Due D'AUMALE was the Governor-General of Algeria, the official and autho rised representative of the French Monarchy ; nay, what is yet more, the son of the SOVEREIGN. Well might General FAnvina, when alluding to this shameless act of .perpetuated treachery, exclaim against the false position assumed by his mother country. When a similar petition was submitted to the Constituent Assembly, said General FAB VIER, " do,' you know what was the declaration of the implacable Meniteur ?" It was that the announce ment was received with laughter ! " And this," he ex claims in tones of sorrow and amazement, " and this was in a French Assembly, that is to say among the representatives of the most moral, the most loyal, and the most generous people who have ever existed !" No wonder the voice of a brave soldier like General FABVIER should give utterance to words of indigna tion when recording a circumstance so disgraceful to the national spirit of his countrymen ! No wonder that he should marvel at that cruelest of all insults to the unfortunate—derision—derision expressed more over towards a hero like ABD-EL-KADER, by a nation like France ! That the demands of justice and of humanity should be overlooked by the Republic we regret, the more so because we had anticipated better things from the youthful and generous heart of the French democracy. Let the Republic bear in mind the significant fact, that the downfall of Louis PHILIPPE followed immediately upon his de plorable breach of faith to ABD..EL-KADER—as it were in retribution for an act of turpitude so inju rious to the fair fame of European civilization. It would be a graceful, not to say a sagacious proceed ing on the part of whatever power may happen to succeed the Legislative Assembly, to pronounce the word which shall open the prison doors of the chateau of Amboise, and permit the illustrious cap tive to depart for St. Jean d'Acre or for Alexandria. Our hopes have been so miserably disappointed by the present representatives of the French people, that we cannot but look forward to some future authority which may vindicate the national reputation, and in so doing cover with additional disgrace those who have only rivetted anew the chains of the Arabian captive. The necessity for an adjustment of the relation s between the landlords and tenants of Ireland has been for some time past the subject of a vigorous and wide spread agitation in that country. Tbe people have spoken out in strong and unmistakeable terms through the length and breadth of the land. Manifestations in favour of " tenant right" have been made not only in each province, but almost in'every county and im portant agricultural district of that kingdom. The exertions of the " Tenant League" have been active, steady, and untiring, and, with few exceptions, the language of this extensive confederation has been of that firm and temperate character which should com mand attention, while the important principle it advocates deserves success, and we hope to see the settlement of this question effected as speedily as possible after the meeting of the coming session of Parliament. We have so frequently, and at such length, through the columns of this journal, pointed out the injustice and impolicy of the present state of land-law in Ire land, that the task has become somewhat irksome, and we should not be disposed again to refer to any of the arguments by which we sustained our views upon this subject if we were not impressed with a belief in the humiliating fact that there is, in the human mind, a strong, repulsive feeling, against the reception of any fact, or truth, which jars with its interests or preju dices, and that it requires the frequent iteration of even a truth almost self-evident to fix it upon the public mind. We pass over the natural and inherent right of every member of the human family to a subsistence upon the soil where he was born, nor shall we dwell on the unnatural anomaly —not very uncommon in the sister island—of GOD'S creatures perishing for want in the midst of a bountiful abundance which, in His beneficence, was intended to be APPORTIONED to all—to the landlord, the tenant, the labourer each in his degree ; aye, even our laws—and every law based upon the divine—recognize the right of those who can no longer labour, the aged and the infirm to support and shelter. Our law for the relief of the poor is based upon the recognition of this right. Un answerable arguments might be deduced from these principles to show that every human being is by all laws, human and divine, entitlad to some share of the fruits of the earth. But while we admit the com mon right of all to live upon the products of the earth, we are by no means the advocates of the ab surd and impracticable principles of Communism. We are rather disposed to concur in the couplet of the poet, that— " Order is heaven's first law, and this confess'd, some are, and must be, greater than the rest." And while we would do full and ample justice to the Irish tenant, we would be no party to the inflic tion of injustice upon the Irish landlord. • Looking then upon the Irish land question merely in a social point of view, as a matter in dispute be tween two classes of her MAnny's subjects, let us see whether it would .not be for the b ene fi t of both parties that this dispute should be settled by the State. And further, whether the State is not bound, by a due regard to the interests of the empire and the public good, to adjust this question by legislative interpo sition. The man who invests his capital in the pro duction of any article of trade or commerce acquires thereby a permanent and beneficial interest in the product. The moment the raw material is pail for no man has any lien on the article produced. We look upon land as the raw material of the farmer, and the tenant as the producer, and when he invests his capital, viz., his labour in the soil, he is, in our opinion, entitled to a beneficial interest in what has been produced by his capital. We think this cannot be reasonably denied ; and if it be admitted that his labour and industry give him a title to a beneficial interest in their fruits, it ought to follow that this interest should be secure, fixed, and permanent, be yond the control or caprice of others. Now, we can see no mode by which the Irish tenant can obtain this secure and fixed tenure save by the interposition of the Legislature. To this the Irish landlord is opposed, as an undue interference with what he calls his rights. We think a calm consideration of the subject should convince him that his opposition to the legal adjustment of this ques tion is as useless as it is unwise ; for though his POWER may be, perhaps, a little circumscribed, he would be far more than recompensed for the loss of some small electioneering influence by the enhance ment of his property and the security of his person. The Irish landlord need but look to the compara tive value of an estate where the tenant-right is re cognized and where it is not. In the one he will see the land brought into the highest degree of cultiva tion, while it is impoverished and scarcely half culti vated in the other. When the rack-rented tenant gets into arrear on an estate where the tenant right does not exist, the landlord has no remedy but either to evict, at the risk of his life, or to wipe out the arrears, and begin anew till they accumulate again. Thus the rentals in those parts of Ireland where this sight is not recognized are frequently more nominal than real ; and the pro prietors are thereby often led into embarrassments and ruin by living up to these nominal incomes. The depreciated value at which some of the western and southern estates have been sold under the Encum bered Estates Bill might be pointed out as unfortu nate instances of this kind. How different is the position of the Ulster landlord, who acts upon the principle of tenant-right ! He lets his land at a fair and moderate rent—he gives his tenant the power of selling his interest in the land which his industry has improved ; the landlord has a perfect security for any arrears, as, in the event of any change of tenancy, the FIRST LIEN ON THE PURCHASE-MONEY IS THE LANDLORD'S RENT, AND ALL ARREARS. The landlords of Ireland, ge nerally, should take counsel together, and consider whether it would not be for their benefit to secure to themselves, by a legalized tenant-right, these ad vantages and safeguards, now confined to a few pro prietors in Ulster. That the State is bound, by public policy, to adjust this quetion will be manifest by a glance at the fact, that in every country where the people have not a fixed interest in the soil their tendencies are always revolutionary. Those only wish for change who have nothing to lose. The Irish tenant feels that he is a serf without any fixed or beneficial interest in the products of his toil and in dustry—no change can make him worse ; his die- content vents itself in agrarian outrage, conflagra tion, and bloodshed. The only cure for these evils is to turn the serf into a substantial yeoman, fix him on the soil, let him become as it were attached to the freehold ; let him feel that he has a stake in the com mon weal, and you convert the turbulent revolutionist into a peaceful citizen. To achieve an end so desira ble, we say, is the duty of , the State. It would be but justice to the tenant, security to the landlord. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The proposition of M. CRETON for the repeal of the proscription of the Bourbons will be opposed by the Bonapartists. On this subject the Pays has the following : " The Assembly has fixed Saturday for discussing the question of taking into consideration the proposition of AI. Craton to put an end to the exile of the members of the two branches of the Bourbon family. Last year a similar proposition was brought forward and proved un successful. We hope it may be the same this year, U 3 nothing has changed either in the dangers which menace society, nor in the necessity of union, which can alone conjure them away, nor in the force of public opinion, which is more powerful to put an end to laws of proscrip tion than all the intrigues of parties. Had the law of exile pressing on the Emperor's family been revoked when two of its members took their places on the benches of the National Assembly on May 4, 1848—when MM. de Lamartine, Climent Thomas, Cavaignac, and Mar rest, took such trouble, in May, 1848, to prevent the Assembly from admitting the validity of the election of Louis Napoleon in the Yonne, would a law of proscrip tion, more or less, have given to the triumph of the elected of the people, or taken away from it, any strength? All these truths were said by us last year in opposing the propsition presented by a too illustrious mountaineer, a near relative of the head of the state. We repeat them now, not to induce the Assembly to re ject the proposition, for we have no doubt concerning its vote, but to adjure it to distrust the snare which is set for it." We find the following in the Constitutionnel rela tive to the affair of the Commissary of Police of the Assembly : " The question relative to the special Commissary of Police attached to the Legislative Assembly has just been brought to an amicable solution by the President of the Assembly and the Minister of the Interior. There is nothing but what is perfectly regular in the arrange ment come to. The intervention of a Bill in the affair would, on the contrary, have been a clang-row encrosch ment of the legislative on the domain of the executive power. The Chamber, very probably, would not have allowed itself to have been led into such a dangerous path. If we are well informed, the following is the arrangement by which all conflict will be avoided :—The President or the bureau cf the Cham• ber will choose the special commissary charged to wat( h over the safety of the Assembly, from among the com missaries of the city of Paris. The functionary selected by the bureau will be appointed by the Government. It the city, which pays tt►e salary of this commissary, should refuse the grant destined for that salary, the Assembly will provide it from its private budget. This special commissary cannot be dismissed without the mutual agreement of the Government and the President of the Assembly to that effect. The different proposi tions successively presented by the questors have been withdrawn." The same journal has the following, relative to the plot of the Rue des Saussaies : " The affair of the pretended conspiracy of the Rue des Saussaies has ended, as we have always anticipated it would, in the Chambre du Conseil dismissing the question as without foundation. This decision is founded-1. On the inspection of the place, which was exidently too small to have held the 26 conspirators spoken of by Allais; 2. On all the evidence of the wit nesses, which perfectly establishes that the fact de nounced had no reality; 3. On the tardy avowals of the informer himself, which proved to the judges in a motet conclusive manner that the pretended conspiracy was nothing more than a sad and ridiculous invention. All that now remains of the affair are the proceedings or dered to be instituted against Allais for calumnious de nunciation." Notwithstanding the statement of the Constitution nel, many of the journals (the Siiele, for example) do not consiCer the decision of the Chambre du. Conseil satisfactory, as it has decided after a secret inquiry, and no one knows upon what grounds. The pretended " avowals" are denied by Arlan.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1850. GERMANY, Account from Berlin have been received tothe 26th. The rumour that the Austrian Ambassador had de manded his passports has been contradicted, and it was said that Russia had proposed the opening of new cdnferences under her auspices for the preservation of the peace. M. PUITKAMMER has been appointed to the Minis try of the Intfrior,' M. MANTEUFFEL being so much engaged as Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Trenbund hare presented an address to his MAJESTY; urging him to proceed with his warlike measures.__ From Vienna the intelligence is to the 24th. The military oath had been altered in the Austrian army. That part of the former oath which related to the Constitution had been struck out. Large masses of troops were advancing to the fron tiers of Prussian Silesia. The Government Las been making immense pur chases in gold and silver bars. All the payments received in all the Austrian provinces excepting the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, are in bank-notes, and meanwhile the pay of all the soldiers of the corps (Formic which hai. entered Italy and Bavaria, as well as the Austrian garrison at Mayence and Frankfort, is made in cash, The disturbances between the Prussian and Bava risn troops at Frankfort were renewed on the 25th. From Hesse the intelligence is to the 26th. The Federal army in Hesse is suffering from the want of provisions. Their commander, Prince TAXIS, has informed the Prussian commander that the Fede ral troops will be compelled to advance. The reply of General GROBEN has been that the troops under his command would not fall back under any circum stances. In consequence of this reply no change has taken place in the relative position of the two armies. The Indipendance of Brussels thus sums up its latest German news :—" At Berlin public opinicn is still strongly in favour of war, but little belief is entertained that it will break out. Austria, it is said, maintains that Prussia has not the right of permanent occupation of the military routes in Hesse. Prussia maintains this right. The ne go ti a ti ons a t thi s mo ment are specially on this point. It was rumoured that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh had formally made known that a war of Prussia against Austria would at the same time be a war against Russia. The rumours which were spread that disturbances had taken place at Aix-la-Chapelle, and that the mobilisation of the landwher had caused dissatis tion to the Rhenan provinces, were unfounded After Berlin, it is, on the contrary, in the Rile nen provinces that the war party finds most support. Rigorous measures against the press have been ern played at Berlin. In Bavaria the populations do not belisve in war, and do not approve of it. The Go vernment seems to desire it, and makes great prepa rations. At Frankfort, where hitherto little faith has been placed in the appearances of a conflict be tween the two great -German powers, confidence in the maintenance of peace was a little shaken at the date of the last advices. The same was the case at Vienna, and the Stock Exchange was greatly agitated; the premium on gold rose to 39i per cent. Still the opening speech of the Prussian Chambers has produced no impression in the capital of Austria. In the evening of the 24th a conflict broke out at Frank fort between the Prussian and Bavarian troops. In several streets the soldiers of the two countries had sanguinary conflicts, and the interven tiun of strong patrols, commanded by officers, could alone put an end to them. There were wounded on both sides, and one of the officers who commanded a patrol received, it is said, a stab with a sword. All the troops were ordered to be kept in their barracks. The Austrian and Frankfort soldiers took no part in the disturbances. Finally, our Hamburgh corre spondent writes that the Danish and Holsteiner troops were still in presence, ready to come to blows, and that on both sides preparations for passing all the winter in the present encampments were being made. The first rigours of the season had already exercised ravages in the two armies." We read in a letter from Berlin of the 25th, pub lished by the Cologne Gazette :—" Yesterday the committee on the address of the Chamber of Deputies held a sitting, at which the Ministers were present. The discussion was very animated. The members of the Left requested the Minister of Foreign Affairs to give explanations as to the state of the negotiations with Austria. M. MANTEUFFEL replied that Prussia demanded an equal influence with Austria in the German Confederation, but he declined laying the papers before the committee, as the negotiations were not terminated. This reply was not considered satis factory by the Left." HOLLAND. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 26.—A report was spread yesterday that all the Ministers intended to resign. There was a long Cabinet Council yesterday, and immediately after a meeting of the Committee of the Second Chamber. The report, however, requires confirmation. We hear from Frankfort that our Luxemburg Ambassador at the Bund has been recalled. The cause is stated to be the affairs of Hesse.—Dutch Papers. ITALY. The Milan Gazette, of the 23d, quotes a letter from Rowe, stating that Count ZECCHINI and Monsignor GRASSELLINI are both candidates for the portfolio of Finance, which is vacant, in consequence of the re signation of pro-Minister GALLI. it was believed at Rome that the tax on trades and professions would be superseded by a window-tax. The Giornale di Roma of the 18th contains a Papal decree, suppressing the civil and criminal tribunals of Fuligno and Loreto. The former is transferred to the jurisdiction of Perugia, and the latter to that of Macerata. THE EXHIBITION OF 1851.—The Commissioners have, during these few days, been engaged in the considera tion of the question as to whether it would be advisable to allow other amusements in Hyde-park in addition to the Exhibition itself. Originally it was determined that nothing of the kind would be permitted, but inconsequence of various communications, among which is one from Mr. Batty, the well known proprietor of Astley's, requesting permission to erect a sort of hippodrome for equestrian performances, and urging the propriety of providing some amusements for that por tion of the great influx of visitors who, it is anticipated, will be present in Hyde -park, particularly at the opening of the Exhibition, without being able to gain access thereto, Mr. Batty (who has had the honour of conversing with the Duke of Wellington on the supject) has received intimation that the matter will be duly considered, and that a reply will be shortly transmitted. It is understood that, under proper regulations, amusement as well as refreshment booths will be erected on the occasion, as on the day of her Majesty's coronation. The committee of Lloyd's yesterday voted 25/. for the widows and orphans of the boat's crew lost at Worthing, in attempting to assist the Lalla Rookh East Indianian, in the storm of Tuesday last, and several members of the Stock Exchange, who have been engaged in procuring subsci ip tions, have collected about 1601. We often see characters in the world which we should call ridiculously extravagant in a book.—Eliza Cook's Journce. It is understood that during the past fortnight the Seeltandlung, Government commercial establishment at Berlin, have obtained from Hamburgh 3,000,000 marks in silver (about 230,0001.) to be coined into Prussian dollars for the supply of the army. This circumstance may account for the recent rise in the rate of discount in Ilamburgb, which is now quoted at 4 per cent. LEGAL .APPOINTMENT.--The lion. David Plunket, son of Lord Piunket, ex-Chancellor for Ireland, has resigned the office of Master of the Court of Common Pleas, in conse quence of serious ill health. The salary of this office is 1,000/. per annum. The retiring allowance of the Hon. Gentleman is to be fixed by the Treasury. BUST AND STATUETTE OF THE LATE SIR RO BERT PEEL.—Vire have had much gratification in a visit to the atelier of Mr. John E. Jones, the eminent sclup tor, to see the bust and statuette of the late Sir Robert Peel. The bust is finely conceived and as finely executed, and presents in a remarkable manner not merely the features but the mental characteristics of the deceased statesman. The general expression of the countenance and the shape of the head carry us back to the celebrated portrait by Sir Thomas Lawrence, the features indicating a more advanced period of life. The artist has not only succeeded in producing a striking likeness, but the most pleasing and dignified ex pression to the countenance. The statuette stands upon a circular pedestal, around the base of which are placed four female figures, emblematical of religion, justice, commerce, and agriculture. The principal figure is that of Sir Robert in a commanding attitude, leaning on the pedestal with his left arm, and holding in his hand a scroll. The right hand is placed on his breast, and the features lead us to suppose that the artist has chosen the moment when Sir Robert used to electrify the House of Commons with one of his splendid I speeches. It is altogether an elegant composition. THE ENTHRONEMENT OF CARDINAL WISEMAN.---. The enthronization of the Right Rev. Dr. Nicholas Wiseman, the newly-appointed Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster-- a ceremony which has been looked forward to with consider-- able eagerness by the Roman Catholic body—is to take place in a day or two, in order that his Eminence may forthwith enter upon the course of Advent lectures already announced from " the cathedral ". pulpit. It has been determined that in consequence of the highly excited state of popular feeling, the ceremony of installation shall be strictly private, no per sons, under any circumstances, being admitted who are not officially connected with the cathedral and the branch me tropolitan chapels, or with the Cardinal Archbishop's eccle siastical staff. So strictly private are the proceedings to be, that of those persons only a sufficient number will be present to render the formula valid, according to the jut canonicum of the Rornish Church. The ceremony of enthronement will occupy a considerable time (nearly four hours) and will take place in the new Roman Catholic Cathedral, in St. George's fields. It has been arranged that the utmost privacy shall be observed in the necessary preparations to prevent the pre cise time of the ceremony transpiring. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF NOTTINGHAM. —We have heard it stated, on what we consider excellent authority, that Dr. Newman, one of the most distinguished converts from the Anglican Establishment to the Roman Catholic Church, will, there is every probability, at no very distant period, be consecrated bishop of the newly-created see of Nottingham.—Noitinghain illerruiY• ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLTGUNCE.—.-'OII Tuesday the Eiglit Rev. this Lord Bishop of Manchester, at the Diocesan The vaca licencent by the was "Registry Offiee, St. James's-square, licensed the Rev.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. i The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 3,000 bales. comprising 2,500 American, 150 Bahia at 8d to Bid, 100 Egyptian at lid to 9d, and 200 Surat at 54d to sid per lb. The market was very heavy and prices of all kinds were #d per lb lower; American at 7-id being sold at dto id decline.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done at full prices. The Grain market is about the same as on Wed nesday. In the Colonial markets the aggregate transactions of the week have not been extensive, but there is still an apparent determination on the part of importers to hold on for a week or two, in expectation that the home de mand may then, as is usual at this season, become brisk, and thus act upon prices, even if foreign buyers should keep back. The consumption goes on well here, and it is reasonable to infer that although the unsettled state of political affairs abroad may check present ope rations, and sufficiently accounts for the dulness every where existing, the stocks must be getting reduced, and under any circumstances will need replenishment. In articles used for manufacturing purposes, a moderate trade is doing. Cotton is less active, but wool sells freely at full rates. The accounts received from abroad are not at all fa vourably construed this morning, and a serious decline has again occurred in the rates tor paper money. The several Bourses have been affected as in a time cf panic, and specie is bearing an enhanced value. At Frankfort, on the 26th inst., Austrian Metallics were not higher than 63 to i e with a ruinously low rate of ex change. Spani:h Three per Cents. were 31i to The Prussian Government has received a large supply cf silver from Ifamburgh for the army. At Amster dam, on the 27th ins., sales of Stock predominated, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 52 9-16. Rus sian, Austrian, and Portuguese Bonds were all lower. The letters from the United States by the steamer Baltic prove the vigorous exertions made to bolster up the price of Cotton, and the belief which the organs of the planting interest are fostering that they can compel Europe to pay almost any price they choose. One journalist remarks that:— " Some deductions drawn from the- above able circulars of Du Fay and Co. of Manchester, and leading advo cates and great exponents of the spinning interest of Greet Britain, corroborate the position we have assumed, that the American planters can this year dictate their terms to the spinners of yarn, and it will be their own fault entirely if they lose the entrenched position in which they now stand. The stocks of raw material now only exist abroad in their seaports-- the interior is bare. Manufacturers are under contract in Great Britain for two months on all kinds of goods, and many for three or four months. There is no pros pect of a limit to the orders ahead, at present, as the people of Europe (we mean the masses, who are the great consumers) never were. so prosperous, and under such full employment, at high wages, as at this time. The deductions we allude to are three in number, viz. The supply of United States' cotton has fallen off by about 500,000 bales, but the deficiency has been so far compensated by increased imports from other countries as to reduce it to about 310,000 bales in the aggregate. 2dly, The deliveries of United States Cotton for consumption have decreased by about 320,000 bales, but those of other descriptions have increased sufficiently to reduce the aggregate deficiency to about 100,000 bales only. idly, The stocks ge nerally are reduced ostensibly to about 150,000 bales only—we say ostensibly, for 'the reduction must be larger in reality. The stocks returned in the Continental ports do not generally com prise those which are held in second, i. e., specula tors' and dealers' hands; these stocks, when prices are moderate, and wh en , as was th e case last year at this time, a favourable opinion is entertained of the article, are comparatively large, but now it may be fairly assumed that such stocks are all but exhausted. Our spinners must also have had very moderate stocks on the let October, for they had purchased only at the rate of about 22,500 bales per week for the ten weeks preceding that date, and no reduction in the quantity consumed by them had taken place, except that some of them had changed from spinning low numbers of yarn to finer numbers; almost all the mills had been in con stant operation, and several large new ones have been added in the course of the year. " These remarks are important now, as English agents are swarming back by every steamer from Liverpool, with their breeches pockets crammed full of orders, and are busy telegraphing from every place at which they stop to breakfast or dine, for fifteen minutes, on their route to their southern posts, that there has been no frosts, the fields are full of flowers, the yield enor mous, and several fellow-passengers had died of sun stroke, &c. " The true policy of planters is simply, masterly in activity. Don't forward a bale to the ports that can be avoided, as, once there, the English harpies consider it their own as much as if it was on the railroad from Li verpool to Manchester. When the true position of this crop is known in Europe prices will take a rapid ascent, and we look for 20 cents per lb. to be paid for fair quality of New Orleans Cotton before the Ist May next. For two months to come, English agents will be forwarding from this side large estimates of the production to scare off competition in their purchases, and to lower the Liverpool market, and thus act on prices south. Every engine will be brought into play. Americans who will consent to aid in this business, will have their travelling expenses paid, and an allowance contributed for losses by well placed bets, as was the case last summer." In the English Stock Market there has been a re action this morning, and the tone is worse, solely on account of the unfavourable tenor of the fo reign news; the fact that the Bank of England has charged 2i per cent. for advances upon stock, repayable within fourteen days, having probably contributed to the existing heaviness. The sales made have not been of importance, Consols being 96} for Transfer, and have been 961 to 97i for January. Exchequer-bills havo been rather heavier at 655. to 685., and India Bonds at 85s. premium. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents, have realised 97i India Stock is steady at 271.

It appears that deceased, who had charge of the Lancaster frigate, in harbour, lying off • Wilcove, took his watch on Tuesday night apparently in good health, but his wife finding he did not return to his berth at the time his watch terminated (one o'clock), proceeded in search of her husband in company with a atan, who soon discovered Mr. Palmer lying on the quarter-deck quite dead. A signal was immediately made to the fiag-ship in ordinary, but we understand it was nearly two hours before any surgeon arrived. Mr. Palmer, who was very highly respected, has left a wife and family to lament their loss. Deceased was about fifty years of age.—Deeon port Weekly Journal. THE RIOT AT BlRKENHEAD.—Birkenhead was quiet as usual yesterday morning. The shops were opened, and, with the exception of the presence of numerous soldiers and policemen, there was little to tell of the violent scenes of the previous day. The walls of the Town -hall are vio lently indented and broken by the bricks, 8:c. thrown against them. The two policemen, Kelly and Gridley, who were scarcely expected to live, passed a quiet night, and were much better this morning. I.4iN)opts,.
