RECENT DOINGS. The Newton Meeting was remarkable for no novel or striking incident. It was celebrated amidst ft drench. ing rain, which damped the spirits and diminished the sporting ardour of the spectators. Labyrinth was the favourite for the Steeple Chase, and he won with the utmost ease. On making for home, Ringleader " looked all over the winner." At the lane he was far a-head, and he cleared the " obstacles" there without mishap, but on charging the next fence, which was comparatively small, he slipped and fell. He got up again, and after staggering for a few yards he dropped down dead ! The ether events were too unimportant, and the interest attached to them too local to require comment. Owing to the large number of horses in the neighbourhood, a second day's sport was " got up ;" its character is " more easily imagined than described." Mr. John Armstrong, the trainer, has complained dolefully of the remarks which were made in The hurt, and the weekly sporting papers, respecting the " Shunt ing Affair at Shrewsbury." His explanation of the matter is as follows : "At Newmarket Second October Meeting Shunting ran in a Selling Race ' • she was restive at th e p os t, th rew her self down, and lo s t eight or ten lengths start, but the com pany she ran in was so very very bad, that she got up and won. "At Shrewsbury Autumn Meeting she ran in a Selling Race, and again turned restive ; indeed, she would not go near her horses, and got off so badly that she never had a chance in the race. This could be seen by any one, the starting-post being a very short distance from the betting ring. Her owner had previously arranged that I should back her for him and myself. I had only executed a part of the commission when I saw what had taken place at the starting-post, and many others had seen as well as myself. Hence Captain Little's offer of 100 to 10, and the City Listman's offer of 100 to 3. (Signed) " JOHN ARMSTRONG." 5} i Whether this explanation will be deemed satisfactory remains to be seen. I give it foi what it is worth. The proceedings connected with the race were sufficiently suspicious to justify the severe comments which were made. X 110 W xd xn x in THE EASTERN QUESTION. MEETING AT GLASGOW. On Wednesday night a public meeting of the citizens of Glasgow, called by the Lord Provost, agreeably to a requi sition numerously signed, Was held in the City-hall, for the purpose of considering the aggressive policy of Russia, and agreeing to resolutions thereon. The large hall was crowded to the doors, not fewer than 3,000 persons being present. Councillor Moir was called to the chair, and among the gentlemen on the platform were observed—Bailie Macgre gor; Councillors Cooper, M'Adam, a nd Tayl o r; Mr. D. Urquhart, l a t e M . P . for Stafford ; Mr. W. Davidson, of Rucbill ; Mr. Perry, Mr. G. Ross, Mr. R. Buchanan, &c. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting in expla nation of its object, and in the course of his remarks took occasion to denounce the policy of the Emperor of Russia, and expressed his determination to exert every legitimate influence in his power to urge her Majesty's Government to aid the cause of the oppressed. Letters of apology from Sir Charles Napier and Professor Nichol were announced, and the following letter from M. Kossuth was read : " 21, Alpha-road, Regent's-park, London, Nov. 21. " Dear Sir,—l have the pleasure to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of November the 18th, inviting me, on behalf of a committee on the Eastern question, to attend a meeting at Glasgow, on Wednesday next, in favour of Turkey, in her just, gallant, and glorious resistance to an insolent encroachment upon her independence and territo rial integrity. " That cause, sir, is highly deserving, not only of the warmest sympathies of every just,honest, and upright man, but also particularly of the most energetic co-operation of the people of Great Britain at large, and of every exertion of its constitutional influence upon the course of British ' policy ; so much so, that any neglect, any wrong direction, any irresolution, or half resolution, in that respect, must be followed by consequences mischievous to the world, but ' to nobody more than to Great Britain herself. " Thera is a haughty affectation in some qaarters, sir, which would like to place any possible British assistance 1 to Turkey in the light of mere generous favour to the Sul tan ; and still that is not the case. Private individuals may act from sympathy—Governments never do. It is important to rectify that affectation of generosity, because it does harm to Turkey by placing her in the unbecoming situation of a protected State. No, Sir; if Great Britain would assist Turkey, it would do so, not from generosity, but from the necessity of taking care of her own future and her own interests. It is England's future which is at stake in the East, not less than that of Turkey. The chief principle to be decided there by force of arms is the sovereign independence of every nation to manage [ its own domestic concerns.' That principle, violated already in Poland, then in Moldo-Wall ac hi a , and then in L Hungary—alw a y s b y R uss i a and her aecomplices—is now intended to be finally overthrown in the East, and, that done, no nation can further deem herself indepen dent. Moreover, it is that balance of power by which European artifice has replaced the rule of right and of law which is at stake in the East. Russia, successful in her encroachment upon Turkish independence, either by direct conquest or by a hypocritical treaty —more deleterious than even a direct conquest could be—and the despotic Czar of oppressed Russia will be the master of the world, at least of Europe and of Asia. America may yet for a while resist, until her turn shall come ; but you cer tainly cannot, being, as you are, vulnerable both in Europe and in Asia. The position of a first-rate Power is not an absolute but a relative one. A first-rate Power is that which is second to none. Permit Russia to take hold of a direct or indirect dominion over Turkey, and she will at once have gained such a preponderance over and above every European Power, that in comparison to her you needs will have lost your position of a first-rate Power, and must become dependent on the good pleasure of the omnipotent Czar, at least in some of those political, social, and commercial relations upon the compound of which your position of a first-rate Power is based. " Britons, do you like to lose that position ? If not, do mind in time the Oriental question ; your own future is there trembling in the scales, and your own battle is fought on the battle-fields of Turkey. "I would like, sir, to take up, point by point, the con sideration of each of your material interests, and feel con fident of fully establishing that assertion. But neither time nor occasion permits, and, therefore, speaking to in telligent Britons, I will only say that each of your mate rial interests, from your political standing in the great family of nations, to your Indian concerns, where—and let that word well be minded while there is yet time to mind it—all the millions of your Mahommedan subjects recognise the Sultan of Constantinople as their religious chief—down to the very price of your daily bread, is in volved in the struggle between Turkey and her enemies. "Mind, while it is yet time to mind it, was my word ; ant, in fact, as no living man on earth can feel more deeply interested in the success of Turkey than I myself do—as well by national concerns as by a personal gratitude—l have great pleasure in seeing that there is a general dis position in public opinion here to mind that cause. But, unfortunately, I see great hesitation about the practical course to be taken to that effect. " That hesitation, sir, is caused by the constant exertion of some mismanagers of public opinion to lower the great question at issue into the miserable proportions of a per sonal dispute between the Czar and the Sultan. Thus they have, until now, succeeded in checking public opinion to arrive at an energy which is commensurate to the impor tance of the case, since it never can be roused to full activity but by the highest motives of national interests. " Those mismanagers of public opinion speak to you con stantly of the honourable endeavours of your Government for maintaining the blessings of European peace. Why, sir, the time has come for pronouncing it in the most emphatic manner, that it is a bitter sarcasm and hypocrisy to designate the misrule of violence with the name of order,' and to style the suppression of nations peace.' If such a condition be the aim, sir, for which the influential exertions of Great Britain are to be used, then let Great Britain at least conserve the merit of frankness, if it has resolved upon forfeiting its reputation of liberality. " Those misman gers of public opinion go further, sir ; they consider the presence of your fleet in the Bosphorus but a means of enforcing some possible trumpery adjust ment of the quarrel. Why, sir, is it not the most ridiculous ignorance to believe that the Turkish question, or rather the European question involved therein, can be disposed of by some miserable adjustment, which leaves right, inter national law, and popular liberties in Europe oppressed, and the field of Russia open, to become yet th e mas t er o f the world, by renew i ng the war at a more favourable op portunity ? If really such be the destination of the pre sence of your fleet in the Bosphorus, then, I profess, it would be better for Turkey to see the wooden walls of England steering back to Portsmouth. " If the British men-of-war would sink or capture the Russian fleet and bombard Sebast o p o l, an d land a Turkish army at Odessa, and secure the line of communication for the Turks, that would be an assistance, sir. But th e pas sive presen ce o f your fleet before Constantinople' is only an embarrassment to Turkey, a check to her energies, an im pediment to her making use of those means of defence which every political consideration points out to her as the most availing and the most essential. It is, in fact, nothing else than the practical assurance that, in case of success, Turkey should be prevented from reaping such fruits of her victories as would finally settle the great Oriental question, open for more than a century ; and in cage of defeat, to make her die- not like a hero, by a glorious death, but to pine away in consumption, brought on her by slowly but certainly killing diplomatic negotiations. "The fallacies of this false situation are resulting from the want of sufficient reflection upon the real nature of the struggle between Turkey and Russia. The Holy Shrines, the Greek Church, the asylum afforded to Hungarian and Polish exiles, the wounded personal dignity of the Czar, and the petty considerations of a similar kind, have nothing in the world to do with the pending contest ; and therefore no arrangements upon such petty grounds can settle it. The real motive of the contest is the necessary consequence of the position of Russia, and of all that agglomeration of events which were heaped up in the lapse of more than 150 years. "Prophecy in political matters, sir, is nothing else but a sound appreciation of the logical chain between causes and results. It is, therefore, not from any ostentation of political foresight, but only from a wish to show the cor rectness of my statement, that I beg leave to refer you to the collection of my speeches in the United States, recently edited by my friend Professor Newman. There you will find that, more than 18 months ago, I have not only fore told that a war between Turkey and Russia is inevitable —that it will be the next war in Europe ; but likewise I have foretold that that conflict must happen in a very short time, probably this year, because, the conflict being inevitable, Russia must hasten to bring it about, or else Turkey has so much grown already in strength in 24 years that every day's delay would weaken the chances of Rus sia's success. Some gentlemen "well known in the city" are actively employed in establishing a steeplechase meeting at Waltham Abbey. The first gathering will take place there on Wednesday next. The ground has been judi ciously selected by Mr. H. Littler, one of the prime pro moters of the affair. November 26. A FRESH MAN. "If the citizens of GlasFow desire to understand as well the real i ssue o f the pending contest, as also the grounds which e na bl e d me to forttell its early outbreak, let them recal to th e i r memory t h e so-ca l le d po liti ca l w ill of Peter the Great, of which beg leave to inclose a copy, though in French. " iietii at document an authentic one, or be it a post facto record of history, you will find therein the nature of the Russian contest explained. The whole matter may be re sumed in these few words :—Russia, being a great conti nental Power, m us t d es i re t o become likewise a great mari time Power, and this she can only become, either by con quering Constantinople, or by establishing, in the way of treaties, a predominance, if not a protect orate, ov er the Turkish empire. This is the question at issue. But no man can doubt that if Russia, in addition to her continen tal strength, grows likewise a great maritime Power, really the mistress of the world , and oven t he greatest of the other European Powers will soon see itself reduced to that p os iti o n in which now Austria stands to Russia. Moreover, nobody can doubt t hat an y p a tching up of the present question, without raising a real barrier to the dangerous encroachments of Russia upon, not Turkey alone, but upon Europe in g enera l , would be no settlem en t, no security of real peace, but only the endeavours of Mrs. t e h s e ea li l ;y ic h al er fa m ta o l p i . ty of taking a f a l se Pa , r , t H in o gto we n ve t r o , s a t u e e m h i t s h starting point in politics, that it is from the want of having taken a broad view of the case that e G o vernment in this question till no hasvery step of your w unsuc cessful, but went on absolutely in been not on ly tion. What has European diplomacy an absurd direc now ? It has been endeavouring to been doing until irre concileable, viz., to mak e Aust • reconcile wh a t is c hecking Russia on he r way to the sea. Why, m y d ear Austria agree with E ng l an d i n sir, that is a ridiculous absurdity. much as if Great Britain Th a t i s p os iti ve ly as `magnanimous Czar' would have tried to enlist the though England an d F himself ag a i ns t hi mse lf. A us t r i a , France, or whatever Powe r on e arth may promise to b ac k he ' dare to offend h er r against Russia, can in no case master, the ,Czar, for this simple reason, because a single word of the Czar would ra i se a ll the Slavo nicpopulations of the Austrianempire t to punish Francis Joseph for his ingratitude.' Besides, quote a pas sage from my speech at Syracuse, New York : " ' As to my nation, I declare solemnly , more the that should we be left for sa k en an d a l one to fight once battle of deliverance for the world, we will rather choose to be Rus sians than remain subject to the House of Austria—rather submit to the open manly force of the Czar than to the heart-revolting perjury of the Hapsburgs — rather to be ruled directly by the master than submit to the shame of being ruled by his underling. The fetters of force may be brokn once, but the affection of a mortally offended people to a perjurious dynasty can never be restored. Russia we hate with inconceivable hatred, but the House of Haps burg we hate and despise.' " Believe me, dear Sir, that such is the condition of the so , called Austrian empire, and that such being its condi tion every effort to detach Austria from her subjection to Russia could never save her, but would give only the sor rowful satisfaction to English mispolicy of having, together with the House o f Austria, buried the liberties and na tional independence of nations worthy of a better fate, and without the independent existence of whom the great ques tion pending now in tho East can never be settled finally as your own f u ture and all of your interests require it to be settled. .. it appears that, though not avowed openly, the sha dows of these events are fluttering before the eyes of your pu t itizaen, gene. it comes that, deuairiag ci $ E],tcere arid active union with Austria in the present struggle, they eluencii their fears with another idea, not less absurd than the first has been ; they endeavour to persuade themselves that though Austria may not be possibly induced to side with the Great Western Powers agaluet Ramie she will at least remain neutral. And yet, an impartial neutrality of Austria is, from her very position to Russia, equally im possible, as would equally be her siding with Turkey. More yet, sir, that neutrality does not actually exist any longer. " It is scarcely- nine months ago since Omer Pasha, at the head of only 30,000 men, was marching against Monte negro to check a revolt which was stirred up by Russia, and Austria immediately despatched an envoy extraordi nary to Constantinople to inform the Sultan peremptorily that she could not allow such a large force (!) to be concen trated so near to the Austrian frontiers ; that, therefore, it must be withdrawn, or else Austria would consider it a legitimate cause of war. " And what is it that the same Austria does now ? She has concentrated 90,000 men in the immediate neighbour hood, on the north-western frontiers of Turkey ; and has she given any satisfactory guarantee of her neutrality, accompanied with such a threatening attitude ? No, sir. Mere words !—empty words—words of that dynasty which has never yet held sacred even an oath. And even these empty words pledged her only conditionally—saying, in so far as her interest will permit her to remain neutral. Have Great Britain and France guaranteed an impartial neu trality of Austria ? No, sir, they have not ; they cannot, and they dare not do it; therefore, what is the result? The result is, that the Turkish Government was forced, in con templation of the hostile ettitude of Austria, to garrison the fortresses of Servia on a war footing, and to keep idle an army of observation in Bosnia. By this necessity 50,000 men have been abstracted from the active army of Omer Pasha, and thatis positively so much as if Austria had sent 50,000 men as a reinforcement to the head quarters of Prince Gortschakoff. Nay, it is worse. Since the sending of such an auxiliary force would have relieved the Turkish Govern ment from the difficulties of an absurd diplomatic conve nience, preventing her until now of snaking use of the heroic willingness of the Hungarian nation to afford such aid as soon would have made Austria unable either to harm Turkey or help the Czar ; whereas, by her false neu trality, she abstracted suc h a force from the entire Turkish army as her open hostilities could not abstract. Therefore, please to tell me, sir, are those diplomatic en deavours of Great Britain backed even by a parade of your fleet up to the Bosphorus, which had n o other result and no other aim but to uphold this position, o f any assist ance to the Turkish Empire ? No, sir, it is no assistance ; it is worse than indifference. It is the entry of a guest who, with his very presence, absorbs the independence of the houseowner. " Fortunately, the force of events has so far favoured justice and right that there can be no more harm done by professing it openly ; that the Turkish Empire can neither in its present struggle have a snore valuable ally than the Hungarian nation, nor its future can get any better gua rantee than the restoration of Polish nationality and Hun garian independence. " Without this Turkey will always have to fear in the present struggle that Austria might at such a moment throw down the mask of her false neutrality, when the Turks, though victorious, will be worn out by their very victories. It is not for the first time that . Austria, will have played suc h a f ou l p l ay. I n 1737, in tnat Turkish- Russian war which ended with the treaty of Belgrade, it was Austria who took upon herself to act as mediator between the belligerent parties. But while she was mediating at Niemer o ff, s h e , A us t r i a , th e mediator, con centrated her armies, upon the intelligence that Marshal Munich had taken Oczakoff, and Marshal Lasey advanced in Crimea, just as she does now, and attacked Turkey on the whole line, from Bosnia up to Wallachia ; alleging that the treaty, concluded between Austria and Russia in 1726, and confirmed] in 1732, obliges her not only to aid Russia in any war against Turkey, but, should Turkey be the aggressor, even to declare a direct war against the Sultan. " You are well aware, sir, that from the time of the wolf and the lamb, whoever is willing to commit violence is never at a loss to pervert truth. You are aware that the Czar, in his manifesto of November 1, declares bare facedly, even now, that Turkey is the aggressor in the pre sent struggle. And that treaty of 1726 is still ready for use ; it may be taken out at will from among the diplo matic rubbish. Since the spirit of the treaty has been con firmed by the so-called Holy Alliance, and that alliance has, in its turn, again been confirmed just now at Sans souci, in Prussia, after the Imperial conferences at Olmutz, and has still more forcibly been confirmed by the Russian intervention in the Hungarian war, which, from an ally and possibly a rival, converted the Emperor of Austria into an obedient servant of the Czar. "No, sir, no imaginable diplomatic adjustment can settle the Oriental question, unless it does raise a barrier ' between Turkey and her ambitious neighbours. As long as Austria is depending upon the Czar she will always be in danger of the independence of Turkey in the interest of the Czar. On the contrr-y, if we imagine her—a strange imagination indeed--independent and strong she will always threaten Turkey in her own interest. Austria, if deemed a first-rate Power, reckons it to be her inherited policy to speculate upon the partition of the Turkish empire as well as the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. The Czar is pushed by the wish of becoming a great maritime Power, while Aus tria is pushed in the same direction by mightier reasons yet than those of an inherited ambition. Bo it that she loses hold of Italy—which sooner or later is inevitable —be it that Prussia gains an ascendancy over her in Ger many—in any possible emergency, she looks for compen sation only to the Turkish Empire. Moreover, after all that occurred in 1849, Austria can never be sure of her dominion over Hungary as long as in her immediate neighbourhood there exists a Power which, in the case of a conflict—possibly delayed, yet unavoidable— must be come a ready support to Hungarian nationality in all the future, as it has been in all the past, against Austria. " Upon these considerations, I may now with confidence claim a verdict on the question—` What is the policy con venient to Great Britain's honour, and preremptorily re quired by her interests ?' It is, sir, the avoiding of half resolutions, and of half measures before all. Either an open and active share in the hostilities against Russia, by land and by sea, or a peremptory demand on Austria to put an end to her ambiguous foul play, and to define clearly her position either as au ally of Russia or of Turkey. But in no case is it such a policy which, aiming at absurdities, only prevents Turkey availing herself of such legitimate means of self-defence as circumstances dictate, and the loss of which no aid of far distant Great Britain can com pensate. "It would have given me a real pleasure to attend the meeting to which you were so kind as to invite me, both from the interest I take in the cause you are supporting, and from getting an opportunity to express publicly my grateful feeling for the sympathy which I myself and my exiled countrymen have found with the generous hearts of the citizens of Glasgow. My only excuse for not appear ing is, that just at the present moment, I can perhaps serve the cause which you advocate more effectually than by taking part in public meetings, whatever their import ance may be. Please to accept this apology, and believe me, dear sir, your obedient servant, " R. Buchanan, Esq., Glasgow." " L. KOSSUTH. Mr. BUCHANAN announced that he had called on Mr. Hastie, M.P., and requested him to attend the meeting, but he had declined, on the ground that we had nothing to do with this question. It was in the hands of the Govern ment., and any interference upon our part was only calcu lated to do harm. (Hisses.) Mr. BUCHANAN, editor of the Sentinel, :moved the first resolution, which was as follows : "That the series of Russian aggressions, of which the invasion of the Danubian provinces is the last in the chain, exhibits so fixed a purpose on the part of the northern Autocrat to domineer over the rest of Europe, and to ex tinguish, wherever possible, national independence and political freedom, that the present invasion of the Turk ish territory is a direct carrying out of his traditional policy, and an attack upon the trade and commerce of this country, country, as well as an act of retaliation for the as y lum protection so nobly offered by the Sultan to Kossuth and his brave compatriots, disguised though itmtle be i Greeky an impudent pretext of protecting th e rights of Church in the Ottoman States ; and that, considering these circumstances, as Well as the territorial and political in terests of the other European nations, this meeting is of opinion that the power of the Czar for present as well as for future mischief should be broken by the vigorous as sistance and co-operation of the great Western Powers with Turkey, in her gallant and ea far successful resistance to her haughty and insolent foe." Mr. Buchanan congratulated the meeting on the splen dour of the demonstration, indicating as it did that the !hearts of the people of Glasgow are sound on this great question. He proceeded to show the probable effects of R uss i an aggression towards the West, detailed the means by which that State had extended her territory, and called upon the Government of this country now to lend effective aid to crumple up the giganti c nor th ern Power. One guarantee for peace should be the resurrection of Poland— (cheers)—the restoration of stolen lands to Turkey, and if these and other just demands be not mad e , revo l u ti on i se the territory of the Autocrat. (Cheers.) Councillor MADAM seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation. Mr. T. BROWN moved the second resolution : " That this meeting is of opinion, in order that the war now raging in the Danubian provinces may be brought to a prompt and satisfactory conclusion with the least detri ment to the political interests as well as the trade and commerce of Europe that our Government should render immediate and effective material aid to Turkey ; and fur ther, inasmuch as secret diplomacy has hitherto prevented the legitimate and healthy action of public opinion upon British Ministers in dealing with foreign questions, that, in future, publicity should be given, from time to time, to all matt ers o f th e f ore i gn d epar t men t o f St a te affectin g the character and honour of this country in its relations with other nations and peoples." Mr. POOLE seconded the resolution. Mr. URQUHART, who was received with applause, spoke in support of the second resolution. He said, this was not the first opportunity he had had of addressing a Glasgow audience. He commenced his public labours in this city, and these were of the most arduous character, chiefly because of the want of that enthusiasm which had now been awakened, and for which we were indebted at the present moment to the Czar of Russia. He regarded the invitation which he had received to attend this meeting as a confirma tionted of those views and opinions which he had submitted 14 years ago. At that time he was repudiated here by many as a man of one idea—they all knew that . a n d .vtl"! the Czar of Muscovy—and what was included o tP had been laid before them by the gentlemat!eiranctaas fromre ceded him. Mr. Urquhart proceeded to read a memorial to our Government, which be extracts himself ear c i t z B3 e n 6 s , o f drawn up, and which was adopted • hy th t e he Glasgow in public meeting assembled, in f Russia. To that re monstrating against the oppressio remonstrance the Government replinells, e th t they were a of, but 17 ypearres pared to resist the oppression complained that we had been be had elapsed, and our experiencwas trayed by incapacity and positive and direct treason. A few years after the adoption of the memorial referred t o, another petition was presented, signed by 30,000 o f t h e citizens of Glasgow, charging both the Government with cr i me, and it was read to extenso in houses of Parliament • but to that petition n o further attention w as paid, and he found that every statement in it was this day confirmed in our own experience. A gentleman present had referred to the fall of Hungary, and the resolution stated that Tur key should be supported by the force of arms. Why, the fact was that England had attacked every State and every p r inciple, but she had never b een f ound attacking Russia. He appealed to the testimony of Kossuth on the matter in question. He (Mr. Urquhart) had pointed out to him falsehoods in the blue- books —statements framed for the purpose of disguising the truth, to prevent the English nation from knowing that its Government were serving the purposes of Russi a. r ceased to imply that Hu ngary Kossuth had never owed its fall to the secresy with which our dipl omacy is conducted. They were met to consider what steps should be adopted to frustrate the " aggretossi th ve policy of R uss i a ," an d th e y f e lt th ems elves equal at enterprise. (Loud cheers.) This could not be effected without some great mental effort. All the means which had been put into operation hitherto ha 4 proved futile, and something new must be found.

STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Nov. 25.—The business of the present week, in the medium and lower counts of water and mule yarns, for home consumption and for shipment, to the continent of Europe, has still consisted merely of small individual purchases for the supply of imme diate wants. The moderate demand we have lately had for 30's, 40's, and 50's mule twist on India account, has not yet ceased ; but it is falling off. Altogether, there fore, the sales of the week have been very inconsiderable, and the prices of last week are barely sustained. Some articles may be had on rather lower terms, but in gene ral there is no quotable change. In the department of goods, there has continued to be a limited call for certain light fabrics, chiefly jacconets and skirtings, from the India houses. The general characteristics of the cloth market, however, has been that of great dullness, with a tendency in prices against producers ; but here, as in yarns, there is little quotable alteration. GLASGOW, Nov. 25.—The beginning of the week the market opened very quietly with little business doing, and that iu favour of the buyer, but about, for the few days, there was a slight change for the better, and prices may be quoted the same. LEICESTER, Nov. 24.—A s a precautionary step, the worsted spinners have further decreased production, the wool staplers not being willing to recede in price beyond a certain point, and are not pushing sales. There is, however, a full average amount of business doing in the warehouses for the present period of the year, though mony more frames have been laid down, and work is getting scarce. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the Leeds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, Nov. 25.—We have no change to report in the state of the woollen cloth trade. The markets have been well supported this week. Both on Saturday and on Tuesday there was a good business done in the cloth halls ; and considering that on the latter day the town was enveloped in a dense fog, which rendered it almost impossible to transact business, a much larger quantity of cloth was sold than might have been expected. The trade in the warehouses is rather still and quiet, but we believe the business that is doing is a seasonable one, and not less than is usual at this period of the year. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 22.—There has been a better demand for goods to-day than last week, although there has not been any large quantity sold. Merchants have generally offered prices that the manufacturers were un willing to take, as the reduction would have been more than the recent fall in the price of wool would admit of. A. fair business has been done in some of the wool ware houses. ROCHDALE.—We have had but a slack market, and notwithstanding the firm price of wool, the merchants were offering less for flannels, and in numerous instances it was taken. Wool maintains its price, but there is little doing. BRADFORD.—WOOLS.—The sails effected are still limited. The prices asked in the country prevent pur chases for this market. Noils and brokes are only limited in quantity. Yarns—The dispute with the weavers at Barnsley is settled, and they will resume work on Monday for five days a week. Pieces.—The seasonable month is favourable for stuffs, and there is an improvement in the warehouses. There is more doing in grey goods, and the opinion prevails that goods have seen their lowest price. HALIFAX.—We have no improvement to record in the piece and worsted yarn trades. In the wool market, notwithstanding the materially diminished consumption, useful combing descripti•ns are in moderately good de mand, at somewhat improved prices. The short wool trade is dull at inferior prices to what were ruling at the close of last month. The present value of middle wethers is about 154 d. per lb. ; that of common noils and broke about 12d.

The Calcutta quotation, however, again unfavourable. - vemtnent. Active support was not at present available I for the end in view, and as for positive support the Govern ment did not want it. Let us take time to examine the state of affairs at home, Right and might combined, vic tory would ally itself to justice. Russia is at present met by her equal, and the effect of foreign support has only a tendency to destroy self-reliance. The Porte has declared that it has proclaimed war on grounds common to England, and the moment that the Russians crossed the Pruth the Western Powers ought at once to have interfered. Not withstanding vacillation the Sultan resisted the weight of all European authority, and he (Mr. Urquhart) called upon this meeting in this matter to resist the British Govern ment. He feared that a storm was about to break nearer home than Russia. The policy of the Czar was calculated to involve us in war with our equal, with France. (Cheers and hisses.) Some dissented—he was accustomed to oblo quy and dissent ; the matters he propounded was too ab struse for a nation to follow ; but present obloquy was future power. States in the midst of greatness had fallen. The Athenians ran after news, admired the splendour of their buildings, and held their Peace Congress. It might be that our attention, directed from the real policy of the nemy, would in the end prove disastrous. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Mr. PROUD/I'OOT moved, and Mr. G. Ross seconded, the third resolution— " That a memorial to her Majesty, embodying the senti ments of the foregoing resolutions, be transmitted to Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department." Totes of thanks having been given to Mr. Urquhart for attending the meeting, and to Mr. Moir for his conduct in the chair, the proceedings terminated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 25. Her Majesty is expected to-morrow, about half-past 12 to pass through this port en route to Osborne. The Leopard, 12, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Captain George Giffard, returned to Spithead this morning from Malta with about 200 military invalids, including their wives and children, in charge of Lieutenant Boyle, R.A. They were landed at the dockyard this afternoon by the Sprightly, port tender, Acting-Master Allen. The Fairy and Elfin Royal yachts went out to Spit head and the Solent to-day to make a trial of their ma- chinery, being ordered to embark the Queen and Court tomorrow at Gosport for the Isle of Wight. Rear-Admiral Sir Edward Parry has been appointed by Lord Aberdeen Lieutenant-Governor of Greenwich Hospital. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 2 Her Majesty's steam-transport Rhadamanthus sailed on Thursday afternoon with artillery for Woolwich. A sailing frigate went up Channel, inside the Eddy. stone, at three o'clock yesterday afternoon. She had a white ensign at her peak end, and was under three top gallant sails, topsail, and courses, hating the wind from west north-west. A Dutch barque-rigged paddle-wheel steam-vessel of war was off the port at 11 last night. She was 65 days from Batavia, bound to Amsterdam, and on Tuesday, in a gale from south-east, had her paddle floats knocked to pieces and received other trifling damage.

APPOINTMENT. Master's-Assistant Henry G. Swainson, to the Juno, 26, at Chatham. The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, was taken out of the basin to-day, and has now mumed her former station at the moorings in the stream. The Myrtle, steam •essel, has had her defects made good in the steam basin here, and will leave to-morrow for Sheerness, to resume her duties as a steam-tug at that port. Intelligence was received here by the last mail from Constantinople, that the Sharkie Egyptian war steamer, well known in the river Thames as the Pasha of Egypt's yacht, had entered the Black Sea, to take possession of a Russian ship-of-war which had run aground. It is probable the telegraphic intelligence Published to-day refers to the same information, contained in a private letter, which'says :—" The Turks have taken a Russian man-of-war in the Black Sea. The crew have arrived at Constantinople. Particulars are wanting." The same letter said the Sharkie was ordered to bring the crew of the Russian ship-of-war to Constantinople. AN IMPROVED ANCHOR FOR THE NAVY.—A Chatham. correspondent sends the following :—" An order has been received from the Admiralty that the anchor (one of Porter's) that their lordships ordered to be altered, when the Right Hon. Sir James Graham, with other officers of the board, recently paid an official visit, to the plan of Mr. Cotsell's, mater-smith at this yard, is to he sent to Woolwich, to be tested, it being now complete. It weighs 49 cwt. 2 qrs. Mr. George Cotsell is to attend the testing ; there will also be present several naval officers and gentlemen to witness the trial, power, and strength of this anchor ; its principal dimensions are nearly the same as the Admiralty anchor ; the shank and arms are flattened, which gives more strength in the line of the strain ; and the inner surfaces of the palms are kept straight to the proper angle, which will cause the anchor to nip the ground readily, and to hold firmly when once inserted, which is very essential ; and for the purpose of weighing or trip ping the external curvature of the arms of the anchor is preserved. It is very simple and strong, and in case of accident easily repaired ; it can be fished, cotted, &c., with facility ; it possesses all the properties of the ordi nary anchor, with the advantages of portability ; under exces.ive strains it will be less liable to be broken at the clutch than the ordinary anchor. Mr. Cotsell's anchor has been highly spoken of by Captain Thomas L. Mas sie, who took one of his anchors out with him in her Majesty's ship Cleopatra, in May, 1849." Now, with all respect to Mr. Cotsell's improvement, we submit that there is already an improved anchor under the patent of Trotman's anchor, which was offi cially reported by the anchor committee as possessing generally the best qualities of all the anchors tried, and in justice to that gentleman we contend that any im provement suggested should have been carried out by the patentee.—Berald. METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. A special general court7-f the Metropolitan Commis sion of Sewers was held yesterday morning at the Ses sions -house, Newington hearing summonses . rate, n d to to transact causeway, for the purpose of of nuisances,a g ainst defaulters on the Surrey and Kent district a receive reports and presentments ansact such other matters of busi ness as might requi re i mme di a te attention. The Com missioners present were Mr. Richard Jebb, the chair man ; and Mr. George Baker. Mr, G. H. WoormeE, the secretary, read the state of the cash account, from which it appeared that there was an available balance in hand of 60,6761. Mr. Bloyd, the sequestrator of the benefice of St. Olave's, Southwark, appeared before the court to receive judgment as to his liability to pay the sum of 51. arrears of rate, and the sum of 101. new rate, chargeable upon him in respect of sewerage rates for the Surrey and Kent. diArict. The CHAIRMAN, in giving judgment, stated that this ease came before the court upon summons but it involved the same question as that appealed against by several other parties. His decision in this case would also decide those of the Rev. G. Baker, the vicar of Fulham ; the Rev. Dr. Jackson, the rector of Battersea; the Rev. Dr. Sketchley, the vicar of St. Paul, Deptford, and several other cases. In some of these cases theta have been appeals in regular form, but this case appeared before the court on the summons. He had, since this matter was last before the court, inquired into the prac. tice of the old commission, before the present Metropolitan Commission of Sewers was established, and had also looked into the law of the case. There were great dif ficulties in repeating that conclusion, but it was clear, after the consideration the court had given to the ca se , that the rates mus t be remitted on this occasion. Ti m presen t case presented some p eculiar circumstances, but he should co me to the same conclusion. He found that the Tithe Com mu t at i on for giving a stip en d to th e benefice of S t.

Several parties were summoned for the non-payment of rates, nearly all of whom complained that they had not proper sewers provided for their use, but the chair man told them that was no excuse, and ordered the rates to be paid within a week. Some routine business having been transacted, the court adjourned.
