Sole Les gee and Manager, Mr. William Cooke. The unanimous voice of the public Press has pronounced the New Classical Burlesque to have reached the acme of perfection. No spectacle produced at the Imphitheatre has ever created so great asensation. The Dresses and appointments have met with un qualified approbation, while the Classical Groupings and Grand Ballet are nightly received with demonstrations of delight from fashionable and crowded audiences. Mr. Cooke will (by desire) introduce his highly-trained Barb steed, whose matchless per formance is pronounced perfect. Miss Emily ( 'ooke will continue her eletant Equestrian Act on a rapid steed, concluding with her wonderful Feat of Leaping through 16 Balloons. Continuation of the Battle of Waterloo. that England and France, after being so long hoodwinked, are prepared to adopt the course that should have been taken on the first invasion of the Danubian Principalities, he will shrink from the crisis—will quail before the spirit he has evoked. Bullies are generally cowards, and we believe that the present case will prove no exception to the general rule. It was the encou ragement he received through the paltry truckling of the " dear and excellent ABERDEEN," that in duced him to proceed to such unjustifiable lengths. It was the insane desire for peace at any price, and under any circumstances, that has oc casioned the imminent prospect of war. It was the desire to keep up the English funds that has led to their serious depreciation. It was the antics of the members of the Peace Society, not only throughout the country, but in the Cabinet, that have brought about the consummation they desired to avert. Now that a more honourable, a more straight forward, a more manly policy has been adopted, the Northern Despot--the Sir GILES OVERREACH of Sovereigns—may learn that he has pushed cupidity d id t i h ty e matter too far, and through an excess has defeated his own object, and forfeited the gains tendered for his acceptance. i It now remains to be seen n what light Russia may regard the step, the just and necessary step, taken on the part of France and England. It is absurd to suppoLintghatthethDearn daeile prohibition scan ag b a e in i s n t vessels of war passing operation, for it cannot for a mom en t b e asserted that the Porte is at peace, while a hostile army occupies two of her provinces, and while the invader contumeliously rejects all the pacific overtures that have been made through the intervention of other Powers. The Conference, having adopted the modifi ca ti ons insisted on by Turkey, is bound to abide by them as fully as if they constituted portions of the ori ginal Note. It is then the proposition of the Conference that has been rejected, and every member should, to the best and utmost of his ability, oppose the party by whom it was so con tumeliously repudiated. Let Austria desert its colours if it think proper—while France and Eng land are associated, and cordially co-operating to. getber, we care not for the assistance of a Power whose open and avowed enmity may be less dan gerous than its insidious support. Austria may itself be the chief sufferer by a war. It is bound under heavy recognisances to preserve the peace, and if, by its vacillating policy, its disgraceful truckling to its ambitious and grasping neighbour it suffers that peace to be disturbed it must abide the consequences. Whatever, may be the re sult we are prepared—ready for any alter native that may be offered. If Russia aban dons her unjust pretensions, well. When she withdraws her troops from the Danubian Pro vinces, the English and French Fleets will also be withdrawn from the Bosphorus, but no sooner. If the troops of Nienolas advance, then will there be a similar advance on his own dominions ; and if Turkey be attacked, Sebastopol and Odessa will not remain scatheless. If a war be necessary, it will not be a little one—it will be a contest be tween free and liberal, and despotic and slavish institutions, and cannot be relinquished until the teeth are drawn, and the claws pared, of the Northern Bear, and the pinions clipped of the Austrian Eagle—until Poland and Hungary be regenerated and restored to a prominent position I on the map of Europe. Little JINGO is by no means a fancy portrait—.a mere creature of the novelist's imagination. He is but the specimen of a class, a class frightfully numerous, and visible in almost all our thorough fares. It is absolutely appalling to reflect upon the number of these unfortunate creatures, and to know from statistics of indisputable accuracy, and from reports of undoubted authenticity, that this number is every year increasing in proportions wonderfully greater than the average increase of the population. Testimony to this effect is already furnished to our hand in abundance by a variety of humane investigators iuto one of the most grievous of the great social evils remaining to be dealt with by the legislator and the philanthropist. From the evidence thus accumulated it has long since become manifest that the resolute interposi tion of the law is required in behalf of the criminal and destitute juveniles abounding in all the larger towns of the United Kingdom. Is there any doubt as to the urgency of this necessity ? It is answered by THOMSON'S " Social Evils "--by KINGSMILL'S " Chapter on Prisons and Prisoners "—by MAYHEW'S " London Labour and the London Poer"—by Colonel JEBB'S " Report on Convict Discipline"—by Mr. CLAY'S " Report" of 1850 —by Captain HAY'S " Report on Common Lodg ing Houses "—by the voluminous reports made from time to time by Committees of Inquiry in stituted by Imperial Parliament. It is answered through the evidence furnished by Mr. PEARSON, the City Solicitor—by the speeches of the benevo lent Lord SHAFTESBURY—by the writings of Mr. Diox.ENs, the man of genius and generosity—by the arguments of Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions—by the statements of Mr. M. D. HILL, the Recorder of Birmingham. The abomination dogs our every footstep. It is pre sent everywhere throughout the whole framework of our artificially organised communities. These miserable children, bred up by thousands to an existence of crime and destitution, start forth in swarms wherever humanity may tempt the more adventurous to penetrate. They are crowded into squalid lodging-houses —during the day time rov ing about the streets in quest of plunder, or gam bolling in the gutter ; during the night time hid away in neglected outhouses or dilapidated tene ments, in yards or under arches, in carts or in cellars—having the gin -palace and the beer-shop as their place of meeting, and the singing -room and the penny theatre as their place of amuse ment. It is a deplorable picture of human degradation, but one in no way over-coloured, one, in particularising which, we have been guilty of no exaggeration. It has recently been de clared, indeed, by Mr. KAY, in his masterly lecture on " The Condition and Education of Poor Children in English and German Towns " a lecture published by the Statistical Society of Manchester--that their condition is so degraded " that any faithful description would read like a hideous myth, but that our annual calendars of crime render it only too certain." In explana tion, to some extent, of the dreadful increase ob servable in this monster evil of late years, it has been remarked by Mr. PEARSON, in his evidence before the Committee (1847, p. 309), " It is a no torious fact, that immoral and dishonest parents en courage their children to commit crime; negligent and thoughtless parents permit their misconduct; selfish and unnatural parents leave them in a state of destitution which they know must infalliby lead to starvation or thieving." Inevitably, therefore, the results of these sinister influences have proved, in the manner before intimated, most disastrous— the results of this immorality and dishonesty, ne g li gence and thoughtlessness, selfishness and unnatur alness. Whatever has been hitherto at tempted moreover in this country, with a view to the ameli oration of th e m i ser i es of these w i gnorant juv en il e d e li nquents, by the extension to them of the blessings of education, has so far proved inefficacious, that, whereas in America and Switzerland, the , regular one-fifteenth one-fourth, in Manch es t er it school s a b s a o t l t u e t n e d l y a n b c u e t o i a n e fi of the population. k circumstance the more to be lamented, when it is remembered that no less an authority on such matters than the Chairman of the Middlesex Ses seions, these Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, has declared of un f or t u nates in so many words—" I d o not think that they are naturally worse than other child ren; but that their offences spring from the want of proper moral and religious a education." Consid er - all these lamentable truths, and rememberin g their vast importance, it must be admitted by even the least resolute and least energetic reformer that, in this particular, a stupendous resp o nsibility de volves upon the Legislature. A reformatory system is recognised as essential for criminals generally. How much more requisite, therefore, juvenile • among this melancholy class of ju delin quents ! If we would really improve the after condition of th e comm unity, let us, in GOD'S name, endeavour to purify the source of future generations. THIS EVENING, Szrr. 22, Ant during the week, will be presented (the 11th time) the New Classical Burlesque, entitled JUPITER'4 DECREE, AND THE FALL OF PHIETON; or, `f HE FIERY COURSERS OF THE SUN, with its magnificent Tsblesux, military evolutions, and grand ballet. To be followed by Mr. W. Cooke's Scenes in the CIRCLE, in which that matchless wonder, Miss Emily Cooke, will appear on her rapid Courser and Marvellous Flight through 16 Balloons.

The (lie is cast, the rubicon crossed, and France and England fairly c o mm itt e d to the impending struggle. There seems to be no doubt that some vessels of the combined squadron, two or three of each nation, have passed the Dar danelles, and it is more probable that the entire fleet is now riding in the Sea of Marmora, pre pared for any emergency that may arise. Had this decisive and energetic step been adopted on the first aggression —had England and France proved themselves to he really in earnest, deter mined to enforce the existing treaties, and to pro tect their ancient ally from insult and spoliation— had they declared that intention in explicit and unequivocal terms—we should have been spared all the annoyance and injury resulting from a con tinued perseverance in the outrageous and un warrantable course adopted by the AUTOCRAT, and which nothing but the arrival of a crisis, such as that which has at length occurred, could bring to a conclusion. The views we have so frequently put forward have now been fully confirmed. The Turks, who so long submitted patiently to the invasion of their territoties, have been stimulated beyond human endurance ; and are resolved to take the bull by the horns, and rather die with honour than live disgraced ; while Austria, having by its pre tended co-operation, neutralised the action of France and England, is at length showing its true colours, and withdrawing from the alliance. We fully anticipated front the time of the invasion that NICHOLAS would raise every possible objection to the pending negotiations—that he would strain every nerve to obtain the greatest advantages for himself, and also to injure and humiliate his opponent—that be would resort to every artifice for the purpose of retaining his occupation of the Danubian Principalities—and that he would not yield a single particle of the ground he had taken until he received clear and unequivocal intima tion that he should complete an amicable arrange ment, and cease to disturb the peace of Europe ; pr that a perseverance in the iniquitous course on which he had entered would ensure a heavy retri bution from the justly indignant nations whom he had outraged and insulted. The participation of Austria in the remon strances addressed to the CZAR did not in any degree add to the prospects of a speedy or satis factory solution of the important problem. The Statesmen of Vienna were notoriously subservient to the AUTOCRAT, desirous of promoting his objects and acquiring his favour; while even the youthful EMPEROR was known to be greatly influ enced by his older and more energetic brother Despot. It was absurd, then, to suppose that Austria would, under any possible com bination of circumstances, oppose itself to Russia, or endeavour, seriously and bona fide, to coun teract its schemes. Its joining with England and France in endeavouring to settle matters amicably could only have the effect of deterio rating, if not of paralysing, their energies, of ex posing their intentions, and playing the game of Russia in every particular. Had it not been for the impediments and obstructions interposed by Austria, we believe that the matter would never have become so seriously complicated, but that the troops under Prince GORTSCHAKOFF would .ere this have retraced their footsteps, and the evacuation of Moldo-Wallachia by the Russiian forces would have been completed. Our diplomatists, however, once more, as on wiany former occasions, suffered themselves to be bamboozled by their more cunning associates, and to be misled by the insidious advice of those alto gether devoted to the interests of Russia. This it was that made the Russian agents art, fail as to the deliberations of the Conference, that enabled the CZAR to declare his prompt acquiscence in the note, of the terms whereof he was previously well-inf ormed ; while the party chiefly interested, ly - whom it was to be signed, was studiously - kept in complete ignorance. This it was that qualified him to assume the air of virtuous indignation, to declare that what he was pleased to term " the ultimatum drawn up at Vienna, was the work of Austria and o h r te e Pte hinting th at t h ey were the parties tany modifications in its text, and directly intimating that the Powers should "declare to the Porte, frankly and „ firmly-, that open e d they, after h a ving m vai n up to it the only road that could lead to an immediate ediate resto ration of its relations with Russia, would thence forth leave the task to itself alone." Although this is what NICHOLAS aff ec t s to de.. sire, we very much doubt whether the withdrawal of all other parties from the contest, leaving to the SULTAN and himself "a clear stage and n o favour," would be so very acceptab le as he pre -. tends. Turkey may not prove to be such very tender picking, after all. H e must not judge of its present power or resources, or of the resistance is at length it may be enabled to offer, from the ex p erience of 1829. The Mussalman aroused. He is once more imbued with the ancient spirit which rendered him so formidable to his opponents. He is not merely ready, but eager for the fray, only requiring to be let loose on his opponents to be permitted to drive the in vader from his soil. NICHOLAS is not pre pared for such an exhibition of determined courage. It was not merely by force of arms, but, still more,by fraud and cunning, that he hoped to succeed. He knows too well the cost of the struggle, to embark in it wil lingly, where final success, even if it were certain, might be too clearly purchased. No ; his object Was to sow dissension amongst his intended victims —to excite civil commotions, so that the Turkish arms might be turned against themselves—and that the resources which might check his progress and defeat his objects should be expended and wasted in domestic broils.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yest er d ay was still depressed, quotations being id. worse for all kinds. There were taken for export 3,310 Ameri can and 1,020 Surat, and on speculation 1,960 bales American. The Railway Market was dull, but prices were generally per cent. bett er th an the closing rates of the previous day. The statement of the Bank of England for the week, to the 17th instant, is the most interesti ng that has ever recently appeared. The reduction in the amount of the bullion is not one-half the amount which it was expe c t e d t o b e ; an d i n t h e balances of private depositors there is an increase, showing caution as well as resources on the part of those engaged in mercantile and exchange opera tions. The account of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is also increasing steadily as the quarter advances to a close. Looking at the Government Securities, a f ur th er re d uc ti on is per ceptible, the result of sales of Exchequer Bills, it may be presu me d ; b u t th e most remar k a bl e i tem is that of other securities, i n w hi c h th e i ncrease i s moreimportant than was, perhaps, ever before known in the same period of time. This may arise both from extended loans upon stock, and from in creased discounts. The amount of notes reserved was also considerably lessened, a proof how strong is the demand upon the Bank coffers. Possibly there was a greater rush for accommodation last week, because of the apprehension that discounts would be raised to 5 per cent.; and the assistance to the Stock Market on Thursday, by the general granting of loans on stock at 4 per cent., would appear to indicate that the Bank is not now so much called upon. At any rate, there is a fair supply of cash offered to the Lombard-street houses on " call." Compared with the previous week, the changes are as follows : Active circulation £22,421,920 Increase Bullion Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-day and other Bills Increase Government Securities Decrease. Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Decrease _ . 324,240 15,862,398 338,954 3,658,265 16,557 6,007,833 756,823 11,053,973 191,915 1,435,982 15,194 12,527,893 239,125 16,740,682 1,782,808 6,977,155 691,935 Yesterday afternoon there was an advance in the rates of exchange upon the principal cities of the Continent. Paris, 90 days, was taken at 25 22i- to 271 2 • Amsterdam, at 11 171 to 18 ; Hamburgh, at 13 61 to 7 ; and Trieste at 11 2 to 11 5. There were drawn by the Hon. East India Com pany bills upon the Presidencies, from the Bth to the 23d inst., to the following amounts :—On Ben gal, 35,6161. ; Madras, 16,3841. ; Bombay, 6201. At their meeting yesterday afternoon, the Direc tors of the Devonshire Great Consolidated Copper Mining Company declared a dividend of 81. per share, from profits upon sales of copper ores stamped in May and June last. After payment of the above, 23,3141. remain in hand, applicable to general pur poses. The exports of bullion from London during the week to Thursday last were 35,796 ounces in gold, and 80,200 ounces in silver. The funds opened at a decline this morning, Consols being 931 for transfer, and 931, for ac count. Upon the report that the fleet had passed the Dardanelles, there was an immediate fall to 91 for account, and to 92 for money, the present rates being 918 for account. Exchequer Bills have been as low as 15s. discount, and India Bonds have been at ss. discount. East India Stock has been done at 245. In the Foreign Market, there has been a general decline. Equador Stock has been at 4i, Mexican, at 241, and since at 231. Peruvian Bonds are 70 to 721. Brazilian New 41 per Cents. are quoted 951 to 901. Spanish Deferred Bonds are 211, and Portuguese 4 per Cents., 421. The Railway Share Market is miserably de pressed, and the fall is 3to 5 per Cent. There have been large transactions. French Shares are about 2/. lower. The Gold Mine Shares are heavy, the Banks 1/. to 2/. lower, and the Land Companies have de clined. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From, the Official List.)

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Madrid, Captain John Weeks, has just arrived with the usual mails. Her dates are, Gibraltar, Sept. 15 ; Cadiz, 16 ; Lisbon, 19 ; Oporto and Vigo, 20. The Madrid had on freight four packages of specie, value 8901., besides her usual general cargo and 46 passengers. The news from Lisbon in reference to the vine disease is still disheartening. In a vineyard of fifteen acres not one sound bunch was to be found. The Pope's nuncio had been pronounced out of danger. The Exchange at Lisbon on London was, for bills of ninety days' date, 54k. The Severn with the Brazilian mails, arrived at Lisbon on the 14th, and proceeded the same evening. RUMOURED RESIGNATION OF LORD ABERDEEN.— Rumours are current in the political circles that Lord Aberdeen has signified his intention of retiring from a post, which we trust, for the honour and safety of the country, he has not filled too long. His lordship is re ported to have made a declaration to a person high in authority, that in his belief, now that Russia has un masked herself, war is inevitable. That his lordship, with his peculiar predilections for peace and for Russian in terests, should feel himself bound to resign a post into hands likely to pursue a more manly, a more English line of policy, is but natural. Certainly, if our advice had any weight, we should earnestly counsel the noble lord, for his own sake, to tender his resignation forth with.—Bell's Weekly Messenger. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN LAMBETH AND DEPTFORD. —Yesterday (Friday) morning, two very alarming fires broke out almost at the same moment, one near her Majesty's dockyard at Deptford, and the other in Princes-street, Lambeth. The first took place in the premises of Mr. W. Wright, a chemist, No. 4, New King-street, Deptford. It was discovered by a police officer of the R division, who, after some trouble, suc ceeded in arousing the inmates. So dense was the smoke, and so intense the heat, that the various occupants had great difficulty in effecting a safe retreat from the blazing buildings. A mounted express was at once sent to town for the aid of the engine, and forthwith the West of Englandiengine and fireman arrived, when they found the dockyard brigade at work from the yard, the hose being conveyed from that establishment into the burn ing property. The brigade engine of Southwark-bridge road station, while proceeding along the Kent-road, met with an accident, which so disabled it that it was unable to proceed to the scene of conflagration, and the firemen were therefore obliged to be conveyed to the spot in a cab. Other engines of the brigade &I- I lowed those of the dockyard and the West of England Office; but in spite of the most strenuous exertions of all present, the flames oould not be subdued until the fire had travelled almoSt through the building, de stroying in its progress, the whole of the stock in trade and most of the valuable furniture. The origin of the fire is unknown. Fortunately the sufferer was insured in the Phcenix and Norwich Union Fire Offices.----The other fire broke out in the premises be longing t o M r. T . Sm i th, the extensive potter, No. 72, Princ ess - s t reet, Lambeth. It occurred in the factory, from, it is su p pose d , the over-heat of one of the fur lle s e s s• s Theßu r n engine ef Messrs. distillers, H t o h d e g e p s a ' , r the sh the distillers, es t Messrs, of England, ngland, an d three of the London Brigade were soon on the spot ; and a plentiful supply of water having been procured from the mains of the Vauxhall Company, the inhabitants and firemen went to work in admirable style, but in • spite of which they were unable to get the fire subdued until the roof of the factory was burned off, and th e s t ock in trade severely damaged by fire, breakage, &c. The premises and their contents were insured in the London Fire Office. The police of the R and L divisions rendered essential aid to the fire men at each fire. LATEST FOREIGN NEWS. FRANCE. The Emperor and the Empress arrived on Thurs day in safety at Arras, at half-past four in the afternoon, having been warmly received along the line of country through which the Northern rail way passes. It has been decided that they are to travel at the rate of about thirty-eight English miles an hour, exclusive of stoppages. A telegraphic dispatch announces that the Prince de Chimay, sent by the King of the Belgains to compliment the Emperor of the French on his passage, arrived on Thursday at Lille. The Courrier de Marseilles has received a first warning from the Prefect of the Bruches-du- Rhone for speaking in disrespectful terms of the port of La Joliette, and for dwelling on its incon veniences, thereby inducing captains of vessels to keep away from Marseilles. The Debats has an article in favour of a general amelioration of the commercial tariff in France on more liberal bases than they have up to the pre sent reign been established by the different Govern ments. In support of its arguments, the &Mats quotes the official returns in England since the adoption of principles of free trade, and brings forward the beneficial results of them to the people and to the treasury. Great exertions are made by the charitably dis posed in Paris to provide for the indigent poor during the approaching winter. The number of poor inscribed on the lists from the year 1848 to 1851, amounted to 196,000. M. Scribe, the oldest dramatic writer existing in France, has purchased the estate of Cour betire, in the neighbourhood of Chateau-Thierry, for 260,000 f. By order of the Minister of Marine the number of pupils in the Naval School for the children of poor seamen at Brest, has been increased by 200. The Hercule, Jean Bart, Roland, Pomone, and Cafarelli, have left Cherbourg on a cruise between that port and the Isle of Wight. The receipts of the Paris and Orleans Railway with its extensions for the 'week ending the 17th inst. amount to 882,955 f., being an increase of 296,203 f., as compared with the corresponding week of last year. The last news from Constantinople produced an unfavourable effect at the Bourse yesterday, and public securities declined. The Three per Cents. opened at 76f. 70c., rose to 76f. 80c., fell subse quently to 76f. 40c., and closed at 76f. 55c. for the end of the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 101 f. 90c. ; Orleans Railway shares, 1,230 f. ; Rouen, 1,055 E ; Havre, 517 f. 50. ; Great Northern, 850 f. ; Paris and Strasb urg , 956 f. 25 c . ; Paris and Lyons, 912 f. 50c. ; Lyons to the Medi terranean, 765. ; Western of France, 730 f. ; Bor deaux and Cette, 610 f. ; Great Central, 522 f. 50c. ; Lyons to Geneva, 520 f. ; Shares of the Bank o f Credit Mobilier, 770 f. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. A telegraphic dispatch from Warsaw announces that the Emperor of Russia will arrive at Olmutz on the 24th, accompanied by the Grand Duke (the heir to the throne), the Grand Duke Nicholas, Prince Paskiewitsch, Count Orloff, Generals Lieven, Adlerberg, Grumwald, Count de Nessel rode, Baron de Meyendorff, and Baron Mobren beim, Secretary of Embassy. The Prince of Prussia is expected at the camp on the 23d. The private telegraphic despatch from Constan tinople of the 12th, via Trieste, announcing the al ternative proposed to the Sultan by the Ulemas, of abdication or war, does not appear to be credited at the Ottoman Embassy in Paris ; at all events no official account of the kind has been received. It - is true that the excitement prevailing at Con stantinople, where the war fever is rapidly gaining those who were heretofore most forbearing and pacific, would render some such demonstration on the part of the fanatic party not improbable sooner or later. The Sultan has a rival in his brother, and there is no doubt a good deal of intrigue going on. The rumour of the probability of the English fleet entering the Dardanelles was circulated in Paris yesterday afternoon. The following telegraphic despatches have also been received :—" Vienna, Sept. 22.—At the reite rated request of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, new conferences have taken "dice on the propriety and opportuneness of a collective proceeding, and it has been decided that the representatives of the Great Powers at Constantinople shall declare that the Note of Vienna does not involve for the sove reignty of the Sultan the dangers which the Porte appears to see in it. No other collective step will be taken." AUSTRIA. A reduction of the army has been resolved upon. On the Ist of October the companies of infantry are to be reduced, some from 180 to 120 men, and others from 120 to 100 men. The regiments from the military frontier, now stationed in Italy, have been ordered back to their cantonments. These measures will effect a saving of from 15,000,000 to 16,000,000 florins. The Duke of Cambridge has arrived at Olmutz. The greatest enthusiasm prevails at Vienna. The crown of St. Stephen, escorted by a large number of Hungarian magnates, has reached the capital. The escort is headed by the Archduke Albert. The Emperor is expected to return from Olmutz in the course of the day to receive the crown and the deputation. A letter from Berlin, of the 19th, states that M. de Budberg, the Russian ambassador, had started for Warsaw to meet the Emperor Nicholas. STATE 07 THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Sept. 23.—The increased uncertainty and danger which again overhangs our foreign relations, the continued advance in the price of corn, and a pretty general opinion that a reaction in the high state of pros perity we have so long enjoyed is near at hand, are having their combined influence on the woollen trade, and have to a considerable extent checked the business of the week. On Saturday the markets were of a moderate character, but the transactions of the day were on the whole, we think, below the average of what has been done lately. On Tuesday, in both the cloth halls the market was very flat and quiet, and only a limited quan tity of cloth changed hands. The stock of heavy goods, such as pilots, beavers, sze., is beginning to accumulate, but as most of the broadcloth manufacturers are at pre sent mainly engaged in working to order, there is not any sensible difference in the quantity of cloth in the coloured market. There has been during the week a strong disposition to press the sale of certain descrip tions of cloths through the medium of the "hawkers," and lower prices have been generally the rule fur goods sold in this way. The trade in the warehouses has sympathised with the general feeling. There have been very few buyers in the town during the week until yesterday, when a few made their appearance, but they are purchasing with great care ; on the whole, the business of this week may be reported as flat and dull for the home trade. The shipping houses are at pre sent quiet. The advices that have been received from Aus tralia this week inform us that the supply of goods is, at the present rate of consumption, much in excess of the demand. This intelligence will most probably have the effect of causing shippers to this colony to suspend their shipments, or at least to be very careful for some time to come in what they do send ; hence we may expect considerable less to be done in this branch of the trade until further advices are received. HUDDERSFIELD.-Our market has been dull again— every body having been much more disposed than they have been lately to buy only for their immediate wants. And now that the tendency is this way, it is probable we shall have a succession of flat markets for some time to come. ROCIIDALE.—The demand for coarse goods continues very good, and, at present, the supply is far from being equal to the demand. The wool market has undergone no change since the previous Monday. Fine wools are full as easy to buy, but English wool of an inferior quality is scarce, and better prices may be obtained. HOSIERY TRADE OF LEICESTER,—Our season' business is set in with every prospect of its healthy continuance. Yarns and wool fully mainta;n their price, notwithstand ing the advanced rate of discount, and the uncertainty of eastern politics. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) Mining shares, unlike other kinds of stock, have been in good demand this week, and some large buying orders have thrown more activity into the market than we have had to report for many weeks. The mines generally are looking well, and there is a fair prospect of an increase in the price of metals, more than corre sponding, we hope, with the increase in wages an d ma terials. Lead has already advanced, and many of the miners are getting 1/. to 1/. 10s. per ton more for their ores than they did a month ago. As showing the in fluence of the late fall in lead, it was explained that the ores sold during the last quarter (one hundred and sixty tons) had realised between 4/. and 51. per ton less than the ores sold the previous quarter ; so that the profits were less by nearly 8001. than they would otherwise have been in this quarter. The pre sent rise, however, will enable the miner to realise a much larger profit dining the next quarter. At the North Towy meeting a call of 2s. per share was made, to erect a steam engine immediately. The agent re ported that the mine was looking well, and that during the past month 8 tons of lead had been raised from the branch in the shallow adit. In the deep adit, the level had been driven on 5 fms., yielding 1 ton per fin. ; the bottom of this level being worth 2 tons per fm. The ore on the mine was estimated at 20 tons. The total quarterly sales of copper ore, ending with that of the 30th inst., compared with the preceding quarter, show a falling off in quantity of no less than 5,949 tons—notwithstanding that of foreign ore there has been an increase of 1,645 tons. Of foreign ores the quantity is 10,089 tons, against 8,444; and at the ticket ings in Cornwall only 42,736 against 50,330 tons. Under such circumstances, our mining friends may reasonably look for a better price for copper ores. In fact, the present high rate of labour, and enhanced price of all mining materials, prove the necessity of their receiving a higher rate for their produce. The miner is, in fact, reaping but slight advantages at present, not withstanding the apparently high standard for copper ore and black tin. Emigration has been of late on the increase, and labourers are in some districts becoming scarce. We know several mines wherein there is good tribute ground idle, for want of men to work the pitches : this accounts for the quantity of ore being on the de crease. In the Metal Market, there has been during the week very large transactions.—Lead and Copper are on the advance.—Banca and English Tin in good demand, the stocks reducing very fast, so that higher rates are confi dently expected ; the same may be said with regard to Tin-Plates and Spelter ; of the latter, the quantity on hand in England and India is less than it has been for nearly four years.—Staffordshire manufactured Iron has risen 1/. per ton, and Pig-Iron from thence is increased in value, owing to the large demand for it.—Scotch-Pig realises 31. 3s. 6d. for mixed numbers ; the quantity ex porting to America still continues to be enormous. The gold mining shares have been almost totally neg lected, with the exception, however, of Agua. Fria and Nouveau Monde, for which there was, in the middle of the week, some enquiry. With the subsequent fall in the funds, this market has assumed a flat appearance, but it is noticed that the decline in prices is not by any means so marked as in the other depart ments of the house. Yesterday evening, however, the market closed with a depressed appearance. In general, however, it may be remarked, that prices of the more accredited stocks gave way but slowly, while shares in the less favourable adventures are scarcely saleable at a heavy discount. In the course of the week, the facts relating to the discovery of gold in Queen Charlotte's Island have been printed in a Parliamentary paper : it appears that three years since the Governor of Vancouver's Island dispatched some rich specimens of gold home (which he had obtained from the Indians who inhabited it), about the end of the year 1850. Subsequently, the Hudson's Bay Company sent one of their vessels to the island, where a rich vein of gold was found, averaging 61 inches in width, bedded in quartz, running 80 ft. parallel with the coast, and thence taking a direction towards the interior of the country. This was worked for several days, and some of the specimens produced yielded 25 per cent. of pure gold. The Indians, however, interrupted the miners in their operations, by seizing the gold as soon as it was broken down, and this so discouraged the men that they refused to work unless allowed to fire upon the marauders. The commander of the vessel was then obliged to retire : a number of Americans from Cali fornia and Oregon then arrived, but the hostile appear ance of the natives deterred them from commencing operations. Subsequently the British Government or dered H.B.M. ship Thetis to asssert the sovereignty of the Imperial Government of the island in question; and with consent of the natives, the Recovery, a brig be longing to the Hudson's Bay Company, took posses sion of the vein, unmolested by them. It would ap pear from the survey that, though extensive beds of quartz were discoverea, there was but little surfttce gold ; and it was anticipated a rich harvest could be obtained from working the auriferous quartz ; it was further stated that the blasting was so unremunerative, as to cause several men to desert. The Governor had issued a proclamation, stating licenses would be granted, simi lar to those in Australia, with the exception that the fee would be fixed at 10s., instead of 305., per month, on account of the true beds not being known. The Colo nial-office have declined to accede to an application from certain parties for a lease of mining land in the island, In the present state of the money market, however flat tering the prospects may be, even although based upon a solid foundation, there would be found great difficulty in obtaining the capital for working any gold deposits, however well authenticated they may be ; and until cer tain results come to hand from the scene of operations in California and Australia, all attempts to form a com pany will be futile. GREECE. Letters from Athens state that orders have been given to prevent the subjects of Greece travelling to Constantinople or other parts of the Turkish empire. Merchants alone, in the case of urgent business, are exempted from this stringent rule. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, SEPT. 19.—Mr. Murray, the new Bri tish Minister, has this day paid his first visit to M. Naeff, the President of the Confederation. SPAIN. A telegraphic dispatch has been received, dated Madrid, Sept. 20, announcing from the Gazette of that day the following composition of the Minis try :—President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, Count de San Luis ; Finances, M. Dome nech ; War, General Blazer ; Justice, Marquis de Gerona ; Foreign Affairs, M. Calderon de laßarca ; Marine, Count de Molins ; Public Works, M. Es teban Collantes. The only name in the foregoing which was not mentioned in our last letters is that of Calderon de la Barca. His appointment in the late as in the present Ministry was evidently intended as a counterpoise to the nomination of M. Soule to the American Embassy at Madrid, and it is, no doubt, believed that his experience of America will be a match for the ardent representative of the Union. Calderon de la Barca has, undoubtedly, much experience in American affairs, and, if Spain was unagitated, might be a respectable and useful Minister. But, considering the period, the persons he will have to deal with, and the dicta torial character of the President of the Council, his fitness in that respect is open to much doubt. He is a man of remarkably mild manners, unaccus tomed to intrigue, and will for some time find him self not quite at ease with some of his colleagues, with whom he may have to fight, as it were, at navajas—daggers drawn. It is still the opinion of several Spaniards of authority that the Cabinet is one of transition, though it may contain the nucleus of a future combination. It is thought likely that the Cortes will be called together before long, and then perhaps dissolved ; while the new Minister of the Interior will apply himself, after the old fashion, to secure his majority. ITALY. The Giornale di Roma of the 15th gives an ac count of a military carrousel, executed the day be fore by two squadrons of the 11th regiment of French dragoons, in the Circus of the Villa Bor ghese, usually called Piazza di Siena, in the pre sence of General d'Andre, who had arrived ex pressly from Paris to inspect the French cavalry at Rome. The French, Spanish, and other foreign Ambassadors, General d'Allouveau, and several Roman Princes, were also present, besides many ladies of distinction, and a numerous public. Among the evolutions executed by the cavalry were the figures of St. Andrew's cross and that of Pius IX. Monseigneur Forcade, Bishop of Samos in par tibus, has been appointed by the Pope to the epis copal church of Basse-Terre, in the Antilles. The Voss Gazette quotes a letter from Rome of the 12th, stating that two days before the Pope, while on his way to the Villa Ludovisi, belonging to the Prince of Piombino, in order to view the antiques lately found in the garden of Sallustius, was stopped by a crowd of women and children, issuing from the Via di San Basilio, who surrounded his carriage and escort, exclaiming that if his Holi ness did not diminish the price of bread, they would throw themselves with their children under the wheels of his carriage. In order to pacify them, the Pope directed his Almoner to distribute some money amongst them, and proceeded on his way Without any further anifestation. THE WAGES MOVEMENT. THE CARPENTERS.—In addition to the men on strike in the firms of Higgs, of Stangate, and Hill, of the Whitechapel-road, the men in the employ of Mr. Lucas, at the Reform Club, have sent in a memorial for the ad vance of 6d. a-day, and, meeting a refusal, have, with the sanction of the body of delegates from the trade, meeting at the Carpenters' Progressive Hall, Ryder's. court, Leicester-square, withdrawn from their employ ment. In the meantime the contracts of the above firms are at a stand, they being unable to obtain other hands. THE BRICKLAYERS.—This trade has also a permanent committee sitting at the Craven Head Tavern, Drury lane, who carry on a system of partial strikes, the men who turn out being supported by the general body. Several of the small masters have been compelled to yield the advance during this week. The bricklayers' labourers, who struck for the advance to a guinea, being without funds to support themselves, have been glad to return to work at the old rate of 18s. THE LAMPLIGHTERS.—The strike by these men has proved a complete failure. Other hands were quickly obtained, and they now bitterly regret the rashness of their conduct. TEE FouxnEfls. : --The jou rneyman b rass and iron founders are organising to obtain an advance of 10 per cent. in their scale of payments. THE SEAMSTRESSES AND SLOPPIORKERS.—Vast num bers of this ill paid class ha ve ava il ed themselves of the vre has compl e t e l y out-generalled the em pilhloollysepnirisca,knaincldu, the walls at the east end are covered with advertisements for every description of workers, who are to receive constant employment at good wages. THE BAKERS. —The attempt made to get up a move ment in this trade for an advance of wages, like that for the reduction of the hours of labour some time back, appears to have failad, the subject being entirely dropped by the workmen. THE BASKET MAKERS.--The agitation for the 10 per cent. advance still continues in this trade, which some few shops have conceded. It is, however, far from being general. SHARE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
