CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were dull for wheat, the prices of which had a downward tendency. Barley and malt—owing to the increased supplies on offer— were heavy, and lower to purchase. Both be ans and peas, as well as flour, moved off slowly. The latest advices from New York, state) that only a moderate business was doing in grain and flour on English account. The continental markets have been very firm. At Odessa, immense quantities of wheat have changed hands. Up to our market last week, the arrivals of Eng lish grain were very moderate. The imports were -43,047 quarters of wheat, 4,462 of barley, 23,237 oats, 722 beans, 6,226 peas, 51 tares, 12 rapeseed, 37 mustard seed, and 696 sundry seeds. Fresh up to our market to-day the. arrivals of English wheat coastwise were on a very moderate scale. By land carriage from the midland districts there was a slight in crease in the receipts. The show of samples of both red and white was by no means extensive. Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was rather limited, the de mand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, and last Monday's prices were well supported. Nearly the whole of the supply changed bards. For forward de livery very little business was transacted. The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. Good red Baltic parcels were in fair request, at last week's cur rency. All other kinds met a slow sale, but we have no change to notice in th e quo t a ti ons . In floating cargoes a few transactions took place, at ex treme currencies. We had a dull market for barley—the show of which was good—at a decline in prices of is per quarter. The demand for malt was heavy, and to effect sales, rather lower prices were accepted. We were well supplied with oats, in which a full average business was doing, at last week's currency. Beans were in brisk request, at a rise of 2s per quarter. Peas moved off steadily, on former terms. The flour trade was far from active. In prices no change took place.

By the steamer Asia, we have advices from New York to the 2d instant. She has brought 66 pas sengers, and 986,000 dols. in specie on freight. The Asia passed the following vessels :—On the 3d, at 9 a.m., the steamer Af r i ca , f rom L i verpool, for New York ; on the 4th, a ship showing a Ham burg flag with a black flag under it ; on the 7th at 9 a.m. a steamer, supposed to be the Germania, from Bremen, for New York, in latitude 48, longitude 54; on the 11th, in latitude 50, longitude 15, the Toronto, from Quebec, for Liverpool ; and on the 12th, the Henry Clay, from Liverpool, for New York, about 20 miles east of Cape Clear. The United States' mail steamer, Hermann, from Bremen and Southampton, arrived at New York on the 29th ult. The United States' steamer Arctic arrived at New York, from Liverpool, on the 30th ult. The packet ships Forest King and Garrick had arrived at New York from Liverpool, the former with 38, and the latter with 25 deaths from cholera. A very destructive fire occurred at New York on the 30th ult., destroying upwards of $400,000 worth of property ; seven lives were also lost. The fire first broke out at 120, Fulton-street, destroy ing that house and several adjoining buildings. The printing-offices of the National Democrat and Military Argus were destroyed, and, at one time, the New York Herald office was on fire. A large meeting of merchants was held at New York on the 31st ult., to express their sentiments relative to the removal of Judge Bronson from the Administration. There is no news of importance from Washing ton. The receipts of new cotton at New Orleans, up to the 28th ult„ compared with those to the same date of last year, are reported to fall short by 180,000 bales. United States' stocks to the amount of $573,850 had been redeemed at the Treasury Department, Washington, for the week ending 29th October. The funds in hand at the Treasury Department at the same time, subject to draught, were put down at $25,958,756. The Halifax Chronicle, of the 28th ult., states " that information from the Gut of Canso had reached that city, stating that a fleet of about 100 sail of United States' fishing vessels were encroach ing upon the fishery at Fox Island, in pursuit of an immense shoal of mackerel, and were committing flagrant depredations upon the property and per sons of the fishermen belonging to that place and neighbourhood." In consequence of this report Sir George Seymour immediately ordered the Bonita, Lieut. Bridges, to get ready for a cruise in that direction for the protection of British in terests, and she had accordingly sailed. Havannah accounts of the 22d ult. state that the Captain• General had issued the following decree : "In view of the calumnious assertions contained in a periodical called the Daily News, published in London on the 31st of August, against superior authorities, &c., of the Island of Cuba, under pretext of the reprobated slave trade, and in view also of the disposition of the journal, the injurious language of which does grievous injury towards objects the dearest to and most venerated by Spaniards, the Captain-General has ordered the pro hibition of the entry into the island of such foreign jour nal, and of every other in which untrue articles are in serted." The rumour relative to a convention between England and Spain for the eventual abolition of slavery and the adoption of the apprenticeship system in Cuba was still the chief topic of conver sation at Havannah. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 21st. ult. an nounced that the battle between the Yucatan revo lutionists and the Mexican troops lasted eight days, and that large numbers of the former had fled to the mountains.

IMPORTANT REPLY OF THE FRENCH GO VERNMENT TO THE MANIFESTO OF THE CZAR. ~—...._,-....-...... i various creeds are a ssem b led, some p ..— ersons who deny ' the existence of Satan. His lordship infers from this 1 that the whole or chief part of the population of those 1 districts are in a state of unbelief, and appeals to his shocked and amazed auditory for assistance upon that deceptive plea! From a review in a Baptist magazine, the Bishop then carefully cited exactly one line and a half, relating to " the sceptical theology, or neology, as it is called, of Germany," in order most distinctly to prove that "it is probable that a little of this simoom has reached the Welsh pulpit." "It is quite certain," adds his lordship, "that it has not reached the pulpit of the Established Church. There is not a person living who can breathe such a charge against the ministers of the Church of England g We must therefore take it for granted that he means the Dissenting pulpits." This assertion is at once so daring, so false, and so sophistical, that compassion mingles with surprise while I endeavour to realise the depths and intricacies of that mental and moral perversity which could suffice to hide such fallacies from Dr. 011ivant himself. Does Dr. 011ivant never read the Record newspaper ? Has he never happened to see blazoned there the names and words of many sceptical ministers of the Church of England ? Can the Bishop of Llandaff be ignorant, that not merely an ecclesiastical pulpit, but even the episcopal throne of a neighbouring diocese has been pub' licly denounced as a seat of "this moral and spiritual pestilence ?" "Is not Mr. Griffiths, of Aberdar, to build a chu rc h for hi s people," exclaims the Bishop Of Llandaff, " when we are told that the simoom has reached the Welsh pul pit. Ido not say it has reached it, but this writer says so, and his confession is enough," &c. Thus did the Bishop of Llandaff pursue his peculiar dialectic course, in apparent forgetfulness that the fatal breath of this simoom has been perceived by many orthodox churchmen to wither the theological works of his cotemporary, the Bishop of St. David's. Having cited a passage from the Methodist Magazine, and another from the Traeth,odydd, of 1852, p. 352, ex pressive of apprehension lest the elements of infidelity should "after long working and breaking out create de struction in the camps of Zion," the Bishop said— " But I have testimony to produce that many who were hearers of the Word are actually becoming Pa, gans. His lordship followed up this startling announcement by quoting from the " Drysorfa," of May, 1 853, part of the speech of a zealous minister, where, after declaring that " every one has much to do, and he will do much if he has but a heart to work," the orator applies the strong epithet pagans to those persons who neglect at tendatce upon public worship ; adding— " They should be gone after, and every means used to induce them to hear the Word of God, and to reverence the ordinances of God." Such passages as these the Bishop miscalls— " The acknowledgments of Dissenters themselves, as to the real condition of the country, and the result of the means of instruction which actually exist." " For my part," said his lordship, "I should be con tent to place my justification for any effort I have made for church extension on those statements alone, if neces sary.". _ _ - - , ......- - e New SPORTING NOTES.

Beasts Cows... Calves Sheep . Lambs Pigs .... To-day's market was very extensively supplied with each kind of foreign stock, the quality of which was inferior, if we except the sheep from Rotterdam. With home-fed beasts, we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied, and there was a decided improvement in their general weight and condition. The attendance of both town and country buyers being good, the beef trade ruled firm, at Friday's prices, being an advance in those of Mon day last of 2d per Blbs. The primest Scots realized 4s. 6d. per Ribs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,400 short horns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 42 horned and polled Scots. The supply of sheep was t3lerably good. Prime breeds were in request, and the turn higher, the primest Downs having sold at ss. 2d., and the best half•breds, 5d per 81bs., but the sale for other breads was by no means active. In their quotations no change took place. Calves—the numbers of which were moderate—sold slowly, but we have no alteration to notice in value. The top figure for veal was 4s. Bd. per 81bs.

We continue to have a steady sale for fine hope, the prices of which are well supported. Low and inferior kinds move off slowly, at barely late rates. Last week's imports are 340 bales from Antwerp, 338 do. from Ham burgh, 175 ditto from Ostend, and 20 from Rotterdam. New Mid and East Kent pockets, 151. Os to 201.

Coastwise and by railway, the receipts of potatoes con tinue good, and in fair average condition. Last week's imports were 137 bags from Hambro', 550 tons from Rot terdam, 12 bags from Antwerp, 462 do. from Dordt, 8 do. from Harlingin, 348 sacks from Dublin, an d 553 b ags f rom Belfast. A steady business is doing, as follows :—Shaws, 115 s to 135 s ; Regents, 155 s to 1808 ; foreign, 130 s to 155 s per ton. Letters published in the New York Herald from Honduras state that the Inter-oceanic Railroad sur veying party had discovered a new route, which would enable persons going from New York to reach California seven days earlier than by the way of Panama. The route is represented at straight and nearly level, and passes through rich silver and other mines. The New York stock-market was firmer, with large sales—Six per Cents. of 1867 brought 123. New York State Fives of 1855 were at 1032 ; and Tennessee State Fives, at 91. The sales of railroad bonds were also large. There was very little alteration in the Money market. Loans on call on first-class securi ties could be obtained at 7 per cent. discount ; on first-class paper ruled at 12 to 15 per cent. ; and on railroad notes, at four and six mouths', from 15 to 24 per cent. per annum. Foreign exchange was dull. Bills on London, 1091 to 1094 ; Paris, 5 124 to 5 ilk ; Amsterdam, 41h to 41k; Hamburg, 36i to 364. But little business was doing in the New York cotton market, and no change in prices. Flour in good demand at an advance of 12i cents. per barrel. Wheat had also advanced about 9 cents per bushel. Indian corn was lower. Provisions were without material change. Better inquiry existed for iron, and Scotch pig realised from 35 to 36 dols. per ton, at six months. Freights to London.—Tobacco, 60s. per hogs head ; flour, 4s. 6d. to 4s. 9d. per barrel ; turpen tine, ss. per 2801 b. ; measurement goods, 30s. to 355. per ton ; grain, 15d. to 16d. per bushel. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. I.—The cotton market was unsettled yesterday by the Arctic's news, and the sales barely reached 1,000 bales. This morn ing the market is active, and already 4,000 bales have been sold. Middhng is at 9c. to 91-c. Super fine flour is selling at 6 dols. 90c. to 7 dols. Corn dull at 65c. to 70c. Mess pork, 16 dols. Rice dull at sic. for new crop. CHARLESTON, Nov. 1. Cotton sales to-day, 850 bales, at prices ranging from Bc. to 10c. to 10/0. SEEDS. Linseed moves off steadily at full prices.

The aff a ir of the Holy Plac es o f Jerusalem being ter minated, Prince Menschikoff cl a i med in the name of his Government certain guarantees for the main tenance of the privileges of the Eastern Church. These guarantees had reference solely to the future ; no precise fact, no coin plaint of the Patr:arch of Constantinople had been alleged in support of the demand of the Ambassador of Russia, and the Sublime Porte had just spontaneously confirmed by a hatti-schenff of the Sultan all the spiritual immuni ties of the Greek community. The solicitude of his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas for a worship which is that of a majority of his people had not then an immedi ate of ; neve r th e l ess , F rance , A us t r ia, Great Britain, and Prussia advised the Porte to reply by assurances i compatible with th e di gn i ty o f t h e S u l tan an d th e n tegrity of his sovereign rights. The conference of Vienna thought it had found a formula satisfactory to both par ties. To this project of note the Divan opposed objec tions, which the powers regretted, but which, however, they felt bound to allow so far as to engage the cabinet of St. Petersburg to admit them. Not only that cabi net refused, but the explanation into which the Count de Nesselrode entered as motives for rejecting the modifications proposed by Reschid Pacha were of such a nature that France, Austria, Great Britain, and Prus sia agreed of common to accord that it was not possible for them to recommend to the Porte the pure and simple acceptance of the note of Vienna. It was under these circumstances that his Majesty the Sultan took the part of declaring war. This Sovereign acted in the plenitude of his responsibility, but it is not exact to say, as does the Russian manifesto, that the principal powers of Europe had vainly sought by their exhortations to shake the blind obstinacy of the Ottoman Government: " After this direct contradiction given to the Em peror Nicholas, the Moniteur proceeds : "The principal powers of Europe, and particularly France and England, have, on the contrary, recognised that, if their conciliatory action was not exhausted, a future arrangement could no longer be concluded upon conditions of which the Cabinet of St. Petersburg itself undertook to demonstrate the danger. The manifesto terminates by saying that there remains only for Russia, provoked to war, to have recourse to arms, in order to force Turkey to respect treaties, but it does not indicate the clauses of these treaties which the Porte had violated. By the treaty of Kutchku Kainardje, the Porte bound itself to protect Christian worship in all Churches ; the addresses which the Armenian and Greek communities have just presented to the Sultan attest their gratitude for the recent benefits conferred by his Highness. The treaty of Adrianople consecrates in favour of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia advantages and privileges which the Porte has respected to the extent of not recalling the Hospodars Stirbe and Ghisla, who to-day quit power, not because of a firman of the Grand Seignor, but on account of the orders of General Prince Gortschakoff, and which their loyalty, as subjects of the Sultan, did not permit them to exe cute. The same treaty of Adrianople places the Pruth as the boundary of the two empires. The Pruth has been crossed in full peace by a Russian army, In passing the Danube the Turks are not taking the offensive : it is Ottoman territory, as determined by treaties, that they are endeavouring to defend against an aggression the date of which is several months back Our intention is not here to enter into a useless contro versy, but it appeared to us indispensable to re-establish, according as we understand it, th e t ru th o f situations. THE BIS.HOP OF LLANDAFF VERSUS THE WELSH PEOPLE. TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD J. RUSSELL My LORD, —Dr. 011ivant being chiefly indebted to your lordship for his present high position in the Welsh Church, I would respectfully direct your attention to the details of a public meeting lately held under his auspices, and but too plainly declarative of that uncon ciliating and adverse spirit towards the Welsh people, of which his previous conduct had afforded many indica tions. The Cardiff and Merthyr Guardian, of Oct. 8, con. tains an authorised report of the annual meeting of the Cardiff Auxiliary Branch of the Pastoral Aid Society, held on Monday, Oct. 3, 1853—the Right Rev. the Bishop of Llandaff, in the chair. After having stated the general objects of the society, and shown that the enormous increase of population in certain parts of his diocese requires a proportionate increase in the number of religious instructors, his lordship proceeded to argue against the alleviating suggestion that the defective action of the Establish e d Church is in any degree supplied by Dissenting teachers. Alluding, as an instance in point, to the district of Hir waun, his lordship commended the Vicar of Aberdar for having recently taken measures to provide a separate church for about 3,000 persons inhabiting that portion of his parish, and manifested great astonishment and indignation at the protest which had been entered by a writer in the " Diwygiwr" of Sept. 1853, against the Vicar of Aberdar's collecting circular, which describes Hirwaun to be lying " in a condition of barbarism and pagan ignorance ;" and leaves utterly unnoticed the re gular chapel services, Sunday sch oo l s , and week-day prayer-meetings, which constantly afford religious in struction to about 2,300 persons in that district. Attempting to nullify this stat ement, and to prove that the dissenting ministers alike of the diocese of Llandaff, and of the whole principality, do not furnish their respective congregations with the necessary means of grace and salvation, the Bishop then produced from dif ferent Welsh publications of various dates, " certain selec tions," shadowing forth to his lordship's own view "the condition of this countryas it is described by the Dissenters themselves :" the extracts being translated from the original Welsh. The Bishop's first quotation was made from the " Drysorfa" of Sept., 1852, wherein the Rev. D. Jenkins deplores that " the outward and circum stantial matters of religion seem to be in a flourishing state, but the inward and spiritual matters are with ered," &c. His second quotation was from the " Seren Gomer" of March, 1852. It complains in the words of a Bap tist minister, that " there was no one who could boast a great increase in numbers, and in consequence ther3 , were many who so re ly l amen t e d th e i r want of success, &AL Were the clergy of the Established Church equally alive to their position, its superior privileges and en hanced responsibilities, surely similar complaints would well befit them. The Bishop quoted, 3dly, from the " Diwygiwr," of July, 1853, a passage in which the Rev. S. Griffiths says :—" In spite of all the places of worship, schools, ministers, preachers, deacons, Sunday-school teachers, all the hundreds of crowded congregations and thousands of communicants (q. communicants ?) or religious pro fessors, yet many are to be seen turning to Popery, yea to different kinds of Popery," &c. Here is a decisive testimony, inadvertently produced by the Bislop himself, and establishing the very facts which he denies. Ist. That the necessary means of grace and salvation abound among the We!sh Dissenters. 2d. That those means are attended upon, by mul titudes of people. As regards the alleged converts to "different kinds of Popery" among the Welsh, few, indeed, will their numbers a ppea' when compared with the hosts of Eng lish Tractarians within the very pale of the Established Church, and with the hosts of apostates wh o are daily forsaking it for Rome. His lordship's 4th quotation appears to have been made merely as the occasion of a ,iblerty satirical of all us i on to religious liberty, that conscientious , sying" or preaching, for which the loyal o Bish op , J erem Prophe- Taylor, so eloquently pleaded of ld The fifth quotation, whi c h is from . y the " of December, 1851, bears upon the r ecent perversion of " hundreds, OR thousands" to Mormonism, &c. Scrutinising malevolence alone could ever have at tached importance to a charge so futile and so indeter minate. With weak and wearisom e re it erat i on t h e Bi s h op re• minded his hearers that th ese were t h e s t a t ements o f Di ssenters, and that he would not answer for their truth, adding— "l do notsay o a n sk o , ? ij they are t whether they are or not, but I s i m ply rue, is it not a call on you, on every The Bishop next quoted from the " Diwygiwr," of 185, p. 121, ic ___a passage tending to show that there exist an our works," where people of different races and 15 141 HORRIBLE MURDER.—The hitherto quiet neighbour hood of Dunster was on Wednesday thrown into great excitement by the perpetration of a horrible murder, committed on a girl about 12 years old, named Cole. She resided with her mother (who is a widow) and brother, a lad about 17. On Tuesday the mother and brother went out to work, and left the girl at home in care of a lonely cottage, situated in the parish of Cut combe, near Dunster, Somerset. There are two dwell ings under the same roof ; the other being occupied by an old woman more than 80 yeirs of age, w h o , on Tues day morning , ab out 10 o'clock, saw a young man named Baily in the house with the girl. He soon after left the house, and did not again return. On the return of the mother and brother they made a search for the girl, and at last found her in an old barn close by, with her throat cut and quite dead, The man Baily is in custody. 402 1 40i li :GUS. 40 -_- : i 60 - 65 ifpl i - 17 - 19 12 - 14 . 1 ~ - `~ - ii 11 : iii par i - - ••• 1? -lip 34 - 36 14a— i• 1853. It is to be observed that the Bishop ceremoniously compliments several of the Welsh ministers, whose pas toral exhortations he had distorted into libels, and extols their personal piety, while reckoning the congregations which share their zealous and vigilant care among the most abandoned and wretched dregs of so c i e t y. Concluding the Welsh people to be sunk in specula tive infidelity and pratical paganism, the bishop adduced a passage from the memoir of a pious minister (" Diwygiwr," 1851, p. 273) showing that Thomas Howells had greatly abhorred and deplored the sin of drunkenness. His lordship afterwards brought forward a rule of the Anglesea Society, framed by another zealous minister, as a protest against vice and immorality. His lordship closed his series of extracts by repeating from a nameless magazine some of the grossest calumnies contained in the Commissioners' Reports. The statistics of the late J. Fletcher, Esq., giving a " View of the Moral and Educational Condition of Eng land and Wales," afford the following results : "Wales.—ln this district there is little more than Sunday-school instruction in the Bible, in Welsh, owing to the obstacle of language." " In Wales there are fewer illegitimate children than in other parts of the kingdom, the proportion being infi nitely less than in the northern and midland manufac turing mining counties. The amount of pauperism in Wales is also considerably less than in most parts of England, being 5.5, whereas in London it is 12.5, and in the south, midland, and eastern - agricultural coun ties 39.5." "The criminal returns for Wales are low as compared with the average of the population." " Everywhere, in districts of homogeneous character, the more instructed appeared to have a much less amount of depravity than the less instructed ; but there were considerable deviations from this rule—the ignorant Celtic regions of Cornwall and "Wales standing in as favourable a light as the most instructed counties of the north. The most ignorant region of the whole kingdom was shown to be the eastern and midland countiies im mediately contiguous to the metropolitan ; being far more uninstructed than Wales, with all its difficulties of poverty, language, and remoteness ; and infinitely more criminal, especially in serious offences against the per son, and malicious offences against property."— Vide Athencrum, 1849. No. 1,118. Such is the impartial and drily official testimony ren dered by statistical documents to the character of the Welsh people, and to the beneficial effects of Sunday school instruction in the Welsh Bible. To Wales, and to a "Welsh Dissenter, Great Britain and the world stand indebted for the British and Foreign Bible Society. The annual reports of its proceedings show, that the contributions received by that institution from the principality are of greater amount in propor tion to the population than those of any other part of the United Kingdom. The same reports prove also, that larger numbers of bibles in proportion to the population are annually purchased by the Welsh than by any other people under the sun. Hence it appears, according to the judicious Hooker, "The Word which saveth our souls is near us, we need for knowledge but to read and live. The man which readeth the Word of God ; the Word itself doth pronounce blessed, if he also observe the same."—Eccl. Politie, book 5, sec. 22. In 1847 Commissioner Lingen thus described the Welsh inhabitants of his district : " When not in chapel the people are generally at their own homes, for they are not to be met with any where on Sunday excepting on their way to and from chapel."—Reports 1., 225. The select " lamentations" culled by the Bishop, bear witness that the Dissenting Ministers who made them are earnestly living and diligently working to counteras all the ill which they perceive and deplore. Hence it clearly appears that the majority of the Welsh people, driven as they originally were from the pale of their National Church by English prelates, branded as they now are by one of the unsympathising occupants of their native sees with unmerited infamy, are not " without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law ;" but that the "covenant of life and peace" is still among them. Locke has warned us, that "he that has but ever so little examined the citations of writers, cannot doubt how little credit the quotations deserve where the origi nals are wanting." The cause of the Pastoral Aid Society mi g ht safely have been allowed to rest upon the numerical disproportion of the diocesan clergy, even in combination with their volunteer auxiliaries, the Dis senting ministers, to the "strange multitudes" of people congregated together from all parts oGreat Britain Ireland in the mineral districts of Llandaff. , What .w ould have been an nu - ti seffort,e ffe c tua lou an are they bl a e m ar o g n u g me so nt f m ur an e y en ? answera incentive to Christian diligence.

It eulogises the Bishop's " most noteworthy speech." It describes the Dissenting writers as confessing con victs." It distinctly declares of the Welsh people, "that practically their present religion is nothing ;" and it concludes with the following words :—" The Bishop of Llandaff reads Dissenting publications, and, as we have recently seen, he turns them to a good and a moral purpose. If we had no other argument for a Welsh speaking and a Welsh reading bishop, his lordship's usefulness in this alone would he quite sufficient." This libellous epistle merely indicates the mischievous effects s effects which are closely following upon the bishop's ed public avowal of the enmity which he has long cherished who constitute the ma against the Welsh Dissenters, w j . ortty- of the Welsh people. Little hope can there be of his lordship's ever recalling sectarians to the fold of the Church while thus he wields the episcopal staff as a rod of scorpions. Inveterate prejudice converts his episcopal activity into national injury, and renders his slight acquaintance with the Welsh language an additional means of pro voking the resentment of the people. Three years have now elapsed since I had the honour of calling your lordship's attention to Dr. 011ivant's erroneous view of the real state and condition of his diocese. Once more submitting to your lordship's con sideration the necessity of henceforth providing Welsh bishops for Wales. — l remain your most obedi en t hu m ble servant, GOLEUFER.
