SPAIN. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 10th inst. The President of the Council transacted business w ith the Q ueen on th e 9 t h . The assurances given him by her Majesty proved that the Cabinet enjoyed the entire confidence of the Crown. The Queen signed the decrees appointing M. Zaragoza Civil Governor of Madrid, M. Quinto, Alcade Cor regidor of that capital, and M. Benavides, mem ber of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice. The celebrated nun Patrocinio, who had been obliged to quit Spain for some time, had arrived at Toledo. The Three per Cents. were done at 42i ; the New Three per Cents. at 22 7-16 ; the Debt of the First Class at 9, and that of the Second at 41. ITALY. The following telegraphic despatch, dated Mon lay, has been received from Turin :—" The Legis lative Session has been resumed this day. The official journal of Rome announces the nomination Of Mgr. Sacconi as Nuncia at Paris. The Milan official journal publishes a decree containing the names of 72 Lombard emigrants whose property is S equestrated." The Parlamento of Turin of the 12th strongly recommends Chevalier Boncompagni, late Minister of Grace and Justice, for the Presidency of the - riedmontese Chamber of Deputies, and MM. Lanza and Jacquier (moderate Liberals) as Secre taries. The Grand Duke and Hereditary Prince of Tus cany arrived at Leghorn on the Bth from Naples, and set out on the following day for Florence. Count Giulay, Military Commandant of Lom bardy arrived at Milan on the 10th, from Vienna. The ex-Queen Marie Amelie, who had embarked at Genoa on the 7th, arrived on the following day at Rosas on the coast of Spai n , a t a s h or t distance from the frontier of France, below Port-Vendres. Iler Majesty had arrived in good health, and had borne the voyage very well. GERMANY. The Voss. Gazette publishes the death of Genera] bou Radowitz. The statement is incorrect. The Baron appears to have passed through a crisis, and in still very feeble. On th e 11th h e gathered his family around him, and was also visited by the of Prussia. On the 12th he was something better. The government of Hesse Cassel is at its wits end for money, and thinks of postponing payment of the salaries of employes. It has, however, just asked the chamber to vote 140,000 thalers per annum to the Countess of Schaumbourg (the elec tor's wife by a morgana ti c marr i age ) , and to make the allowan ce re t roac ti ve f or ten years. It has b een proposed in the provisional Chamber to ap- Peal to the Germanic Diet to have the state placed Under its proper constitution, with a regular legislature. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, 10 45 A.M. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Iberia has just arrived with the Peninsular Malls. Her dates are—Gibraltar November 8, Cadiz 9, Lisbon 11, Vigo 12. She has on board 27 Passengers, and on freight 1,1251. in specie, with a Very full cargo of fruit, &c. PORTUGAL. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 15. By the Royal Mail steam-ship Severn we have Lisb o n letters and papers of the 11th inst. The Iberi a homeward-bound Peninsular mail steamer left Lisbon at the same time as the Severn (8 a.m.) for Southampton, via Oporto and Vigo. She was two days behind time in consequence of a rough passage out, and will not probably arrive until Wednesday. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin 'was at anchor in the Tagus, as also the French %team-sloop Le Newton, which had arrived on the Oth, having on board the Duke of Terceira, M. De 14isle, the French Mi n i s t er , an d M . C aro l us, t h e elgi an Minister at the Court of Portugal.

CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. AND (THIS DAY.) caIIiME_RCIA.L INTELLIGENCE. Last evening, a very fully attended meeting was held at the Public Hall, Richmond, to hear from a deputation from the Conservative Land Society a statement of the plans and operations of the society, with respect to the property purchased in the vicinity, viz., St. Margaret's, late the property of Lord Kilmory. Amongthe gentle men on the platform were—Lord Ranelagh, chairman of the society ; Col. B. Knox, vice-chairman ; R. N. Fow ler, Esq. ; VV. Cribb, Esq. ; H. Pownall, Esq. ; Dr. Worthington ; G. Morgan, Esq., surveyor to the society; C. L. Gruneisen, Esq., secretary, &c. Shortly after seven o'clock, the chair was taken by The Commissioners continued their inquiry this morn ing, in the chamber of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 4,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market was tame, without alteration in prices. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 9 Pernam and Maranham at 61d., to 7id., 60 Bahia, at 64d., 200 Egyptian at 6±d. to Bd., and 500 Surat at 3d. to 44. per lb. Railway Shares were dull and heavy at lower prices. The interview which the Governor of the Bank of England and one of his colleagues (in his capa city as a Russian merchant) has had with the Earl of Clarendon, has strengthened the impression that our Government places much less reliance than heretofore in the prospect of an amicable settlement, and consequently anticipates that the present cam paign at least must be allowed to go on. The Eng lish merchants who are engaged in the Russian trade naturally feel anxious about entering into the con tracts usually made at this season, as they part with their ready money to agents at St. Petersburg, who buy up the tallow in the interior for delivery next June. The safety of such a proceeding under pre sent circumstances might be questionable, and our Foreign Secretary accordingly intimated that he could not give an opinion as to the probable settle ment now hostilities had commenced, although Government still had hopes, and accordingly he advised great caution. Seeing that Russia has vio lated the territory of her neighbour, and that she M. John Catley, an East India merchant, and chair man of the London Dock Company, attended to give his views of the corporation. He said he thought the man ner in which the aldermen of the City discharged their judicial functions was on the whole satisfactory, at least it would bear comparison with that of the country magistrates ; but he believed the alder men invariably acted upon the advice of their paid assessors. It was his opinion that the city was well paved and well sewered—indeed he knew of no spot more healthy than the locality where his offices were situated, though it should not be forgotten that the City stood upon an exceedingly dry soil. He could suggest no improvement in the corporation, with the exception ' perhaps, of that of engrafting upon it a Chamber of Commerce, throughwhich the mercantile community could make complaints or representations to the Government. Certainly there was no prospect of inducing the higher class of merchants to join the corporation, bcause they could not spare the time which their civic duties would demand of them. For instance, he had been twice re turned to the town council, but for the reason he had stated he declined to serve. He could not spare the time from his business. The conservancy of the Thames he thought was well placed in the hands of the corpo ration, but at the same time it was just possible that the constitution of the committee which looked after this department could be advantageously extended by introducing the professional element into it. The London Dock Companies sometimes called in the services of the City meters, but the Fellow ship Porters they excluded from the docks ; but lie was not sure that the act of Parliament, by which the exclusion was made, did not grant the Fel lowship some compensation. He hardly thought it would be advisable to unite the City with the Metropo litan Police, and for this reason, that in the City there was an immense amount of property constantly accumulated and accumulating. Now, at night, the City was com paratively deserted, and hence the City required a more extensive watch than the other parts of the metropolis. He was apprehensive, there fore, that if the City police were united to the Metropolitan force, the inhabitants of the metropolis generally would object to pay the increased expense which the City would require, and he thought under those circumstances it would be better to allow the City police to remain as it is, under the control of a distinct commissioner. Mr. Catley stated in conclusion, that he had been repeatedly summoned to take up his freedom, but being a wholesale dealer he had not thought it necessary to take any notice of the matter. Lord RANELAGH, who, on taking his seat, said—No doubt, occupying the position he did, viz., chairman of the Conservative Land Society, they would expect to hear from him the whole working of the society. But he would call on gentlemen who would better and more fully explain the objects of the deputation. He would lay aside for the evening his official character, and merely act as chairman of the meeting, and bespeak for every gentleman a respectful and attentive hearing. Mr. PowNALL then rose and entered at some length into the objects and working of freehold land societies in general. They had lately purchased the beautiful estate over the water, and it must be confessed it was one of the most attractive estates possessed by any society. The town of Richmond needed enlargement, and to extend it in the direction proposed would be highly bene ficial. He would not encroach upon the ground which would be gone over by Mr. Lewis, but he congratulated them on the fortunate purchase made by the Conserva tive Land Society. Col. KNox then addressed a few words to the meet ing. He had long been a resident at Richmond, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than in adding to the welfare of the town. As one of the founders of the society, he felt delighted at the prospects held out by the purchase. Mr. FOWLER, of the firm of Dimsdale, Drewett, Fow lers, and Barnard, in addressing the meeting, said he should not enter into the political part of the society— his observations would principally bear upon the com mercial and profitable objects of the body. In taking shares in this society, the prudent man bad nothing to fear. There was none of that fearful liability attending commercial speculations in general—none of that respon sibility which perilled the whole of a man's property for _ _ has done immense injury to the resources of the country, the question of indemnity to Turkey must become part and parcel of any future settlement, and there is little probability of this being obtained unless England and France take active measures to secure it. Bills of exchange were taken yesterday aftern3on at previous rates on Amsterdam, 11 152 to 16 ; at 25 15 to 171 2 on Antwerp, being a slight decline ; at 13 4 to 5/ on Hamburgh, a trifling advance ; and at 11 40 to 45 on Trieste. There is stated to be rather more ease in the money market, and the bankers are fully supplied with cash. Discounts rule under the Bank of England minimum ' even for paper comparativ e ly long dated, but a decided preference is given to bills having a short time to run. The drafts of the Isle of Man Bank have been refused by their London agents, owing to the death of two of the partners within a very short period of each other, and the inability of the exe cutor to ascertain immediately the amount of the assets is the cause. The CoMmissioners then proceeded to examine a gen tleman on the subject of the conservancy of the Medway by the Corporation. the liquidation of debts incurred, as in other commercial speculations. The shareholder could at any time call for his money when he chose, which would be returned to him with a very trifling deduction, and with 3 per cent. as interest. As a proof of the value of an allot ment in this society, he might mention that one 501. al lotment had lately been sold for a premium of 1501., thus realising a profit of 300 per cent. Mr. LEWIS, of the firm of Harrison and Lewis, solici- COURT CIRCULAR. At the Rhymney Iron Company's meeting this day, a half-yearly dividend of 21. per 501. share and of 12s. per 151. share was declared. The works are stated to be in a most satisfactory con dition, and fair profits hereafter are expected. The English Stock market has been very steady, though not quite so high as yesterday, and there is less business doing. Consols have been done at 94-g- and 95, and at 94/ for Account. They are now about 94ft I, owing to the important intelli gence received from the East of the defeat of the Russians. This in itself gives the highest satisfac tion, though, it is feared, it may complicate the efforts of the peacemakers. The New 31 per Cents. have been at 95 to 96, and the 3 per Cents. at 93 to 94. Bank Stock has been rather higher, being 218. India Stock has been quoted 250, and Exchequer Bills have been at 3s. to 6s. premium. In the Foreign Market there is very little doing, and the quotations are rather heavy. Mexican have been at 251 to 2, Spanish 3 per Cents. at 45 to 1, and the Deferred at 21g. Russian 41 per Cents. have realised 98/, but they have since been done at 98g. Belgian 4/ per Cents. are 96, and Dutch 2i per Cents. 63±. The settlement of the account on the Share Mar ket has not occasioned any particular alteration in prices, but the tendency is upwards. Great North ern are very buoyant, and also South-Western. North-Western have been very heavy. Caledonian are not quite so good. French Shares are rather cheaper, but Luxembourg are well supported. The Gold Mine Shares have been very little dealt in, and continue at about the previous rates. The Imperial Brazilian have dropped 10s. to 15s. The Waller Mine has been at to K. The shares of the Land Companies have been very quiet. The Joint Stock Banks have been without alte ration. WINDSOR, Nov. 15. There was no addition to the Royal dinner party yesterday. The Queen, attended by the Hon. Mary Seymour, rode in the riding-house this morning. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out shooting, and previously inspected the model cottages lately built by the Windsor Royal Association for Improving the Dwellings of the Labouring Classes. tors to the society, then came forward to explain its general working and objects, and said that gen tlemen joining this society need be under no fear as to their liability; they were not a joint-stock, but a friendly society. He need only refer them to the opinion of Mr. Tidd Pratt, which was to the effect, that the members of the Conservative Land or Benefit Building Society could not be held liable, as shareholders, for any debts or engagements of the society or committee, beyond the amount of the shares they individually possess. They had lately purchased a beautiful estate over the water, and so attractive was it that every member wished for an allotment on it. It had been remarked, why are your shares put down at 50i., while other companies grant shares at 301.? But the reason for so doing, in a great measure, had been, that great difficulty had arisen whether the latter sum could secure the franchise to its holders. A great number of instances had oc curred, which clearly indicated both the advantage and necessity of the 501. arrangement. Now, with respect to the 301. societies, the only difference that he (Mr. Lewis) could see, if difference it could be called, was, that in those societies whose shares were issued at 301., tho members paid 4s. per month, while in theirs the shares being 501., the members paid Bs. per month, and he would undertake that in the event of any of the mem bers of their society being objected to in the registration courts, he would be ready at any moment to defend, and he had no doubt successfully defend, the vote of every member so circumstanced. In this society, cer tain rights were reserved for the completed shares. In cases where the member had paid up the 501., he was then en titled to a right of choice on the estate in rotation, according to the date at which the share was completed. In other cases, that of uncompleted shares, where the shareholder had paid to the extent of one-fourth of his share, he became entitled to the advantages held out by this society. The lowest number on the list of rights was 500, and those rights were working off at the rate of 100 every month, so that every member had the prospect of an early allotment. By an arrangement of this society, the speculator is not allowed to exercise the influence of his capital to the injury of the senior members. He is not allowed to take 500 shares one day by merely paying 100 shillings, and then withdraw the next day, in the event of the ballot turning out un favourable to his speculation, at the loss merely of 51. Such a proceeding would be unfair in the highest degree. With respect to the building on the estates of the society, certain restrictions were laid down, by which the builder of a valuable house or mansion would not have a small cottage and garden next him, to the depreciation of his property. On the Putney estate arrangements are made for the building of mansions and houses of the value of A deputation from the Directors of the llungerford Market Company, consisting of Messrs. Stutely, Bid dulph, and Whitbread, accompanied by Mr. Kilpin, secretary to the company, had an interview with Sir William Molesworth yesterday at the Office of Public Works and Buildings in Whitehall-place, on the subject of the proposed alterations of Charing•cross bridge and approaches thereto.

The shipping returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the 10th of October show an extraor dinary increase in the amount of tonnage employed, the augmentation being alike observable in British and foreign vessels. The entries inward were 50 per cent. greater than in the corresponding month of last year, and the clearances outward 10 per cent. Subjoined are the general totals : Entered inward— TONNAGE FOR THE MONTH ENDING OCT. 10. 1851.

With regard to the coasting trade the tonnage en tered inward was 1,028,952 in the month ending Oc tober 10, 1851 ; 1,124,581 in 1852 ; and 1,217,221 in 1853. The clearances outward were-1,273,394 in Oc tober, 1851 ; 1,273,688 in 1852 ; and 1,321,700 in 1853. These returns now distinguish sailing from steam vessels, and indicate a continued tendency to an in creased use of the latter. FACTS AND FALLACIES ABOUT SMOKE. Remaining without any communication from Messrs. Calvert and Co., Messrs. Easton and Amos, or Samuel Hall, relative to our observations of the 29th ult., we are warranted in assuming that we were correct in the inferences we had formed from the reported proceedings before the Commissioners of Sewers for the City of London, on the 18th of the same month ; b e i ng t o th e effect that the invention of the last-mentioned gentle. man, recommended to Messrs. Calvert and Co. for trial by their engineers, was the furnace particularly referred to as included in the failure and expenditure that had been fruitlessly made ; and the silence maintained by all the parties named leaves us no option for the further assumption that no other patented furnace was com prised in an experiment so costly and unfortunate, and that no difference of opinion exists between them a regards the results. It would have been more satis factory to us if the parties, respectively engaged in a practical illustration so important to our readers had put us in possession of the particulars ; but in the ab sence of any such courtesy, we must be content to accept the conclusions, in rejection of any otherwise supposed fallacies, as undoubtedly belonging to our ascertained or admitted facts. Nevertheless, there re mains one inquiry to be satisfied which is this--upon what grounds have Messrs. Calvert and Co., and Messrs. Easton and Amos, arrived at the assumption, because two moveable bar systems have failed in this instance (supposing Juckes's to have preceded Hall's), that there is no plan, complex or simple, for approxi mately perfect combustion, which cannot be brought into successful operation without the extravagant expen diture of thousands of pounds for the purpose of adapt ing the premises to some exclusive description of furnace ; instead of trying other patented inventions that have already, more or less, something like established reputa tion ? We quarrel not with the preference shown by engineers who manufacture them for Jukes's furnaces, nor are we disposed to make other than honourable mention of Messrs. Truman, Hanbury, and Co., for up holding the credit of an invention peculiarly appropriate to their brewery arrangements, when we declare our own opinion that too much and too favourable considera- ' tion appears to be given to an invention, as the ne plus ultra, whatever constructive talent it may evince, which is avowedly inapplicable to four out of every five boilers on land, and has never yet, to our knowledge, succeeded on board any steam-vessel. That where it can be used it gets rid of the smoke nuisance we readily concede ; but we as firmly believe that, unless where slow com bustion, and consequently limited, although reular, production of steam is all that is desired, Jukes s fur nace tends to decrease the evaporate power of the boiler very materially. To see where the truth lies in such a view of the matter, let us ask another first-rate manu facturing concern, and another eminent engineering firm, to assist in tie elucidation. We are informed, by a civil engineer, who, as a practical boiler setter and furnace constructor, of about 30 years' standing, and as an established authority on such subjects has attained well-earned celebrity both in manufacturing districts and the metropolis, that when the City Flour Mills, in Earl-street, Blackfriars, commenced grinding, four boilers, each with an ordinary furnace, enabled the engines to drive 32 pair of stones, but when six boilers were subsequently employed, four of which were sup plied with Jukes's furnaces, no more work could be performed ; indeed, less became the rule. Whether or not, as our informant shrewdly suggests, now that to the asserted decadence of power consequent upon the said use of the slow combustion principle, there is also added another resuscitation of a system tried and abandoned over and over again since Mr. W. Losh's patent of 1814—say, during nearly 40 years—namely, turning off the smoke from one furnace into another, by means of a series of dampers ; or, in other words, now that the draught is cut off, and the effective heat from the furnaces is proportionately and frequently suspended to give the smoke a chance of being burnt (?)—whether or not, our informant propounds, it will be worth while, under this new phase of the affair, to ascertain what is the effect observable on the capability of the engines ? The fair solution of each question involved is of the utmost importance; first, to the proprietors of the mills, at whose expense it is only reasonable to infer these repetitions of exploded experiments are made (and explosive they have been, literally, in instances that can be verified) ; next, to the entire manufacturing com munity, anxiously awaiting the clearest perception of what touches them so nearly ; and scarcely of less con sideration than either of them, to the public at large. We, therefore, respectfully submit to Messrs. White, Ponsford, and Co., the proprietors of the mills, and to Messrs. Swayne and Bovill, their engineers, that it may be of as much interest to them to inquire, as to others to have ascertained, in which of the two catagories these remarks should be placed—among the facts or the fal lacies ? Are our premised data, are our deductions right or wrong, and wherein, and how far ? And we earnestlyof u assure s them that communicationsi thus with requesting the public,to become w the medium e the practical sciences desirences by to everyp r o promote o u t h r a e b a l e d va nce nt of means - mareesoley Journal. in our power.--Mining SEAHAH HARBOUR. On the 7th there was a death from cholera. It is stated that diarrhoea has been prevalent in this district, at first chiefly among children, but latterly extending to adults. During these last two or three weeks, how ever, it has much abated, although casual cases now and then present themselves. In several instances the dis ease assumed a choleraic form, but was got under by the timely application of proper remedies. Three cases, however, of Asiatic cholera have taken place, which have speedily proved fatal. The condition of the district,' including Seaham Harbour and the collieries, is re presented as being in a satisfactory state. The general health appears to be good, and measures have been taken to put the town in a cleanly and wholesome state. Several instances of nuisances have been detected by the sanitary committee, and have speedily been removed. DUNDEE. —Deaths, Nov. 12. Cholera.. SOUTH SHIELDS UNlON.—Deaths, Nov. 10.

SOCIETY OF ARTS.— The opening meeting of the 100th session will take place this evening, when Mr. Harry Chester, the Chairman of the Council, will read an ad dress, detailing briefly some of the more important movements in which the society had been engaged since its formation, and also explaining what is proposed to be done during the present session. The fifth annual exhi bition of articles which have been invented, patented, or registered during the preceding twelve months, will be opened the same evening. HOW SCOTCH LINES ARE MANAGED.—Mr. Johnstone, the manager of the Glasgow and South Western line, in contradicting an exaggerated report of a threatened col lision near Cumnock, says :—" I may remark, in con clusion, that, since the opening of the line, we have carried about eight millions of passengers, and no indi vidual has met with a fatal casualty, or even had a limb fractured." 19i -- 201 44 -- 4i 9 - 10 12 - 10 17 19 51 —43 d 96 - 98 - 54 -- 16i -- 176 13 --15 r 74 - 3 41 - 4i 1 3 12i -13 i 42 - 44 31 -33 64 - 66 59 -- 61 22 . --- 2.3 82 - 58 - 60 127 - 129 I 102 - 104 1 81 - 82 87 90 1 111. —12 p 641 65 7§ 7d 4.4 12i 13 7i - 81 -1 P 96 - 97 102 -1021 d - IP 74 76 13 11 d 12 —ll d 20 - - '6ll -61 i 34 - 36 54 56 i d (par 5 401 50 - 52 4 -3 (I 28 - 29 8- 10 li - 64 - 49 ... 51 50 7i 8 par 2 p 1 38 - 40 88 - 90 54 - 55 60 - 62 55 60 24 Ws 15 17 7i 8i 11 13 34 --- nd 15 -- 17 60 - 61 1 33i 34i i' - 4 ii ::: 2 3 151 - 15/ ... - ... 8 - 9 64i 65 84 -84 d -34 d 47i 484 MINES. 1 a 10 1 a 1 al Agua Fria Anglo Austrin.

It is powerful enough t o t urn a grindstone against the power of one person who had an iron bar on the stone. It has kept in motion upwards of 36 hours, at the end of which time the speed was not diminished, and the constructor, whose name is Thomas Stannard, contends that the machine will keep in motion as long as the materials will last. The invention was offered to several firms in Ipswich, who declined taking it up, since which three persons belonging to one of the first firms of engineets in London have visited Ipswich and examined the machine, and have been induced to pay the inventor liberally, and have taken the machine and the inventor to London to prosecute inquiry. idl LAILWATS Sbr.! rl St. 11 20 10 !Aberdeen ..... ........ 8 I Anabg.

To-day was appointed for consideration of the certifi cate in this case, which was appointed to be heard at one o'clock, but was not called on until some time after, in consequence of the learned commissioner being engaged at a private meeting. Mr. Lucas, counsel on part of the assignees, did not object to a certificate being granted, on the ground that the estate would eventually clear off the whole of the debts. The present bankruptcy arose principally in conse quence of the renewal of debts under a former bank ruptcy and insolvency. His Honour considered that injustice would be done to the new creditors by renewing the old debts, and suspended the certificate for six months for not keeping books which every person rendering himself liable to the bankrupt laws was bound to do. He (his Honour) would take time to consider whether he ought to im pose terms on the subsequently acquired property. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter.) A FASHIONABLE FOREIGN COUNT IN DIFFICULTY.-- WRIGHT. V. THE COUNT ST. JEAN. The plaintiff is a livery stable keeper, in Eldon-place, Hyde -park, and defendant was stated to be a foreign count, residing at the time the debt was contracted in Conduit-street, Bond-street. The claim was for 13/. 18s., the balance of an account for the hire of carriages and horses. Evidence was adduced to prove the hiring and use of the carriages, and also a promise to pay the balance of the account. Defendant having suffered judgment to go by default, it was given against him for the amount claimed. This was the only case in the list. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Nov. 15.—The American cotton mar kets are affected by the question of peace or war, which is disturbing the nations of Europe. Making the most of the frost that had occurred, the holders of cotton were unable to keep up prices in the southern markets. On the 31st October, strict "middling" was telegraphed from New Orleans at SO. per lb. The purchases of the day have been extremely limited (consisting in yarns of numerous small transactions), and, although, in general, prices are not quot a bly lower, yet th ere is in them a slight further bias against botn spinn,rs and manufac turers. The cloths most in request for India, during the last few days, have been low jaconets, madapollams, and shirtings, the prices of which are well sustained ; but the better qualities of nearly all descriptions have been ex ceedingly dull, with prices in favour of the buyers. ROCIIDALE, Nov. 14.—T0-day has been a very flat market, with little or no change in prices. In wool there has not been much doing, but prices have been firm, and the demand at present is very limited. HALIFAX, Nov. 12.—Our piece hall has been very slenderly attended to-day, and scarcely any worsted goods, either plain or figured, have found purchasers. In the corn market the langour increases rather than diminishes, and the merchants are extremely shy of en tering into enga gemen t s . Th ere i s a little more doing in wool, and the quotations are, if anything, somewhat firmer. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 15.—Beyond a few buyers from London, Glasgow, and Belfast, the market has been thinly attended. The transactions have been in winter cloths, and have been effected more in job lots than at regular prices. Waistcoatings are very slow of sale, and excepting new patterns in silk plush, scarcely anything is asked for. There has been rather more doing in the wool warehouses during the week. BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 14.—Great activity still prevails in every branch of the iron trade. The late increase in each succeeding month's reports, not only in iron wrought and unwrought, but in every article manufac tured from iron, and which is likely to receive a still further impulse from the contemplated reduction of duty across the channel, connected with the fact that Scotch bar iron is actually quoted at 10s. per ton above our nominal rates, justify the expectation that higher prices will rule here again shortly. Coals and iron• stone maintain their prices without alteration, and that with a demand far exceeding the production of the district ; and more furnaces have been put out of blast from inability to obtain a supply. The metal market has been again agitated to the annoyance and loss of our manufacturers. On Tuesday last the metal dealers of Birmingham announced a rise in the price of copper of 91. 10s. per ton, and a further advance is talked of.

'Their lordsh ips have also adverted to the fact, that emigrants arriving at Hull have already this convenience by other railway companies, and that the railway company now applying has a similar privilege from the port of Grimsby to Liverpool, and they have, therefore, been unable to comply with the request. Nevertheless, as their lord ships are unwilling to stand in the way of permitting a full competition of railway companies or to withhold privileges of this nature further than the protection of the revenue render needful, they have expressed them selves prepared to grant the privilege requested, pro vided the railway company arrange to have the baggage in question removed from the ship, as at present, direct into lock-up vans in Hull, which could be removed across the Humber and placed on the railway, and then carried to Liverpool under existing regulations. 94 9 Pm pm 10i 38 i 15i i 6i 6i 34 i 1 746 3 d by hia is re fa
