It is still maintained by the principal organ of her MAJESTY'S Government that even now war is by no means imminent, and that, after all, no energetic measures have been taken for the trans mission of maritime aid from Besika, Bay to the waters of Constantinople. Supposing these state ments to be accurate, then would they constitute only additional and more damning evidence of the incapacity of the present Administration. Let occurrences actually prove that the Cabinet has persisted in its old policy of timorous delays and abject concessions, and it will not be difficult then to decide who in this Eastern contention are the blusterers. To suppose, however, for an in stant that no bolder, nobler, manlier front will be presented by England to the Russian AUTO CRAT, would be, we conceive, under existing cir cumstances, altogether preposterous. It would be preposterous after the energetic language addressed to the men of Greenock by Lord J. RUSSELL. It would be preposterous, especially preposterous, after the panegyrics pronounced at Perth, and afterwards at Glasgow, by Lord PALMERSTON upon the sagacity and resolution of her Britannic MAJESTY'S Principal Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. Demonstrate now that no larger powers have been accorded to Lord STRAT FORD, that no instructions have been forwarded to Admiral DUNDAS authorising him to afford assist ance, if required, to the British Ambassador at Constantinople —and you will effectually cap the climax of the turpitude of the Coalition, you will prove that the members of that Coalition have rendered themselves contemptible as brag garts, after having sullied their reputation for pa triotism by their pusillanimity. Either the remarks made the other day by the Leader of the House of Commons go for nothing—in which case they would be no less despicable than the vapourings of PA ROLLES—or they signify an intention on the part of himself and his Ministerial colleagues, to lend, at last, efficient support to the honourable inte rests and inalienable rights of the Turkish Govern ment. Either (again) the tone adopted by the Noble Member for Tiverton, when referring re cently to the present occupant of the Foreign office, went for nothing—in which case it would imply a disgraceful sympathy with the bullyings of a BosAna—or it augured the display of a more chivalrous bearing towards the CZAR on the part of the ruling Coalition. It is obvious, there fore, that statements thrust, of late, officially upon the attention of the community, have only tended to place the Cabinet in a new, and unexpected, and in some respects still more paltry dilemma than any upon which it has hitherto blundered. Another of the delectable conse quences of the confusion inseparable from an un principled political combination —another of the h a ppy fruits of th e Coalition —another of the blessed results of the Joint-Stock Administration. A mysterious silence has hitherto concealed from the public knowledge many of th e short comings of the ABERDEEN Government. Occa sionally that silence has been broken. Inadver tently, and therefore inopportunely, words have fallen from the lips of Ministers w hi ch have afforded a glimpse of the disagre ements rife among the advisers of the SOVEREIGN. " Everybody recollects, for example, how the orthod ox ," "low Ch urc h " sentiments of the author of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill were repudiated by th e Prime Minister in that communication to Mr. MoNsELn, in which the former strove to conciliate the goodwill of the Ultramontanists ! And so it has been repeatedly, time and again, atintervals, ever since the " travelled Thane " brought "All the Talents " together in the same Cabinet — effecting that miracle by the craft of compromise and the magic of inconsistency. Nevertheless, it had up to the last week or two been only at mo ments that Secretaries of State, and other high personages in the Goverment, had broken from the tether of their taciturnity. Until Lord JOHN RUSSELL spoke out boldly the other day at Green ock, and until the citizens of Perth and of Glas gow were addressed by Viscount PALMERSTON in direct allusion to the foreign policy of the Earl of CLARENDON, the community had only listened to a few whispered syllables of blurted disclosure 'and incoherent revelation. At length, however, it is different. The people have listened to senti ments to-day which they might have hearkened in vain for yesterday. They have heard the Mem ber for the City of London, the Leader of the House of Commons, declaring that war would be preferred by the Cabinet 'tom dishonourable pacifi cation. They have heard thet t ßepresentative of the borough of Tiverton, the Chief. Secretary of the Home Department, commendinguthe Earl of CLARENDON, in so many wprds, as a rrstatesman " who, by his independent and truly British feel ing, by the firmness of his mind, by the greatness of his talents, by the clearness of his perceptions, and by the determination which animates his con duct, will," said Lord PALMERSTON, " amply an swer and repay the confidence and support which, I trust, and am persuaded he will receive from the great mass of his fellow-countrymen." It is not merely to vague words of encouragement that the country is lending ear consequently—but to distinct promises of energy, and to explicit predic tions of a more chivalrous line of policy : promises and predictions, it will be observed, made by two of the most conspicuous members ' of the ruling Government. Assurances of considerable weight as coming to us from the lips of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and of Viscount PAL MERSTON. It is scarcely credible, therefore, we maintain, that the language of these statesmen can be, as the official organ would intimate, only " fire and fury, signifying nothing"—the lan guage voluntarily uttered by the Leader of the House of Commons and by her MAJESTY'S principal Home Secretary. No :in spite of every declarat ion o the contrary, we must believe, for the credit of Lord PALMERSTON and his Ministerial colleague, that the boasts of the one and the panegyrics of the other have been justified by the transmission of larger powers to the British Ambassador at Constantinople, and of more resolute instruc tions to the British Admiral in the Medi terranean. Otherwise, the Coalition will be shown to have yet more shamefully paltered with the honour of the Crown, by meeting Russia with words of menace and acts of subserviency—a con jecture which every patriotic observer must be loath to entertain, until actual event s h ave prove d beyond the possibility of doubt that the national credit has indeed been thus infamously and de plorably compromised. Yesterday afternoon a favourable reaction occurred on the Stock Exchange. Up to that time the downward tendency of the quotations of stocks and shares still continued. It is useless to attempt disguising the fact that a complete panic had set in on the Stock Exchange, that sales of public and private securities were pressed, the holders submitting to the most serious sacrifices, in order to obtain a present command of money, for which, in all human probability, they should be seeking new investments within a few weeks at greatly advanced prices. The excitement was, in fact, increasing, although no new circumstances had been brought to light—no fresh authentic intelligence had transpired to account for or jus tify the unreasoning alarm. A rally, however, took place on the arrival of the Typhoon and Marlborough from Port Philip being announced, bringing with them nearly eighty thousand ounces of gold, of the value of close on 320,0001. ster ling ; and also on the Essex being reported, said to bring about ten thousand ounces, of the value of 40,000/. more. It was also discovered about the same time, that the Bears had been carrying their operations a little too far ; and that so far from their being an excess either of Stocks or Shares for delivery, there was, in fact, a short sup ply, so that the last price of Consols was 92-i. It was said that after regular hours there was a slight falling off, and that transactions took place at 92 to I. It is to be anticipated that the Ursine fraternity will make the most energetic efforts to continue the excitement hitherto prevailing, and to ensnare other victims in their toils. They will not easily permit such rich booty to escape from their clutches, and the readiness with which many per sons, during the early part of the week, threw their property unreservedly on the market, must encourage further attempts on the pockets of the community. We trust, however, that the parties, who are now fully awakened to the designs of those desirous of reducing their purses to less plethoric dimensions, will profit by the salutary warnings, and preserve their property from the grasp of the spoilers. Everything, in fact, that has hitherto come to light should be regarded with satisfaction—should allay rather than en hance their apprehensions. We should feel thank ful that a portion of the combined squadrons have entered the Sea of Marmora, and there would be additional cause for self-gratulation if we could be assured that the remainder of the French and English Fleets had anchored in the same position. The real ground for alarm would be a continuance of the strange and unaccountable timidity and vacillation that has brought so much contempt and dishonour on the British name, that has destroyed our ancient prestige, and en couraged every puny despot to insult and injure British subjects, and to disregard the representa tions and remonstrances of British diplomatists, affording fresh illustrations of the fable of the living ass and the dead lion. But the once ma jestic animal is not dead. It had been drugged with soporifics, but, when at length aroused, woe betide its long-eared assailants. The intelligence that the long-continued apathy had been shaken off, should be received with joy and satis faction by every manly heart in the United King dom, and every right-minded Englishman should lend his aid to support and sustain the party anxious to vindicate and retrieve the honour of his country, in place of attempting to injure the financial resources of England and paralyse its in dustrial energies. There is but one consolatory cir cumstance connected with the transaction, which is, that any degree of pusillanimity will carry with it its own punishment—that an avenging NEMESIS will pursue the terrorists, and that they will suffer a just retribution for their conduct, in the losses they sustain through their unreasoning folly. What, we ask, is there so very formidable in the anger of Russia—even if sustained by Aus tria—to produce such excessive terror--such dis graceful alarm ? If, according to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " peace without honour is no longer peace"—if it be nothing but " a truce, a preca rious truce, to be denounced by others whenever they may think fit—whenever they think an op portunity has occurred to enforce by arms their unjust demands, either upon us or upon our allies"—should we not rejoice at the approaching termination of this iuitoward state of affairs, at any cost ? Has not the protracted suspense been as injurious to our commercial interests as any war in which we could be called on to participate? Have we not suffered as much monetary derange ment as if, on the first invasion of the Danubian Principalities, we had displayed the Union Jack in the Blaek Sea and in the Baltic, and had made Russia deeply rue her unscrupulous and unwar ranted aggression ? If we lived on a volcanic soil, should we not willingly accept permanent safety at the expense of a present eruption ? and why should we not, in like manner, seek a conclusive and permanent arrangement of the constantly im pending quarrel—a final solution of the difficulty, without which there can be no honourable or endurinc , peace. ___ We have already endured the evils of war without its advantages ; and if we, i n conjunc tionwith the other great maritime European Power, do not muzzle the greedy Bear, we shall continue to endure similar evils to the end of th e designs chapter. The of Russia are pat en t t o she world ; th ey he av hasenever for a moment be en I disguised, and only waited for a favour able opportunity for carrying out her nefari ous objects, and pushing her incessant encroachments to their natural termination e vz., the annexation of Turkey in Europe to her own w dominions. That opportunity she saw in the n accession to office of the Coalition Government, an d t h e assumption of the ch ief place h in the B r iti s h 1 ' Cabinet by the " g ood and excellent ABERDEEN," on whose apathy, if not connivance, she fanci e d she might depend, and thence the proceedings i which have entailed su ch p ractical inconvenience ' and such enormous losses on all the nations o f Europe, and more especially on that whi c h ! had the misfortune of being placed under ! the direction of such a Minister. That she was not mistaken in her estimate of the First Lord of the Treasury is unfortunately but too notorious ; but, happily, his vacillation has been counteracted by the steady and unflinching deter mination of the British people—his apathy has ! been counterbalanced by their active energies. Never were we better prepared for war, and, what is even more to the purpose, never was Turkey more ready for the final appeal to arms. In place of being taken at a disadvantage, a better time could not have been selected, and we almost thank the AUTOCRAT for suffering his cupidity and am bition to hurry him on to such lengths, that no further mistake can exist either as to his own grasping and aggressive policy, or as to the treachery and perfidy of his congenial associate— the " RED EMPEROR." The Porte has now numerous and well-discip lined troops, amply provided with all the muni tions of war, and burning with anxiety to be led against the invaders of their country. The insults of Russia have sunk deep into their hearts, are branded in indelible characters on their memories. A degree of enthusiasm is felt by even the com monest soldier, which must exercise a material in fluence on the contest. They will also have many valuable allies—Poles and Magyars—victims of despotism from many lands will flock to the standard, burning to strike a formidable blow against the hated tyrants who have driven them from their native soils to wander as refugees through every country that dares to afford them shelter from chains and stripes—the gallows or the fusil lade. Are such men to be despised ? Is such assistance to be slighted ? They will inscribe the history of their unparalleled wrongs and suffer ings in letters of blood on the Calmuck hordes of the despot to whom these wrongs and sufferings may be mainly if not altogether attributed—drive them from the fair provinces they have so wan tonly and so unwarrantably occupied, and carry the war into the enemy's dominions until Russia be restricted within its ancient boundaries, and compelled to disgorge the plunder of past genera tions. Meantime France and England, in cordial co operation, will scour the seas, until the flag of Russia, or of Austria, if she join in an iniquitous compact with the Northern Despot, dare not ven ture on any sea or ocean—nay, more, until their ports are occupied by French and English fleets, their fortifications dismantled, and their commerce annihilated, What can they, or either of them, do to France or England, more particularly when Hungary, and Poland, and Lombardy will pro vide ample occupation at home, and rise regene rated from their ashes into constitutional States ? We have nothing to fear but from the timidity of our rulers and our moneyocracy, some of whom would sacrifice at the shrine of Mammon the liberties of the world, even of their native land, provided they could retain their own vile pelf without diminution or reduction.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1853. MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. T 1 e market was flat and closed heavily, with prices of American and Sara . ; /d. per lb. lower. In Ameri can under sd. the decline is still greater. The sales comprised 3,500 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 6d., 200 Bahia at 6-id. to Rd., 300 Egyptian at bid. to 6d., 500 Surat at 3d. to 4Ad., and 40 Sea Island at ls. Bd. to 3s. per lb. Railway Shares were rather firmer. This morning there has been a delivery of let ters from Australia to as late a date as the 3d or 4th of July, by the ships noticed yesterday. The greatest, anxiety prevails in circles where the whole facts of the case are not well understood, concerning the result of the enormous shipments of goods not only already arrived, but known to be on the way, and which were leaving up to the close of last week. Upon looking over the exports, we find that their amount was excessive until within a few days, but that there is now grea t er cau ti on an d more difficulty in getting freights. The losses will fall chiefly, we apprehend, not upon the regular Aus tralian merchants, vho, having made good profits at first, have been acting very cautiously since, but upon a large number of private individuals, not in trade, who have been anxious to have a "little spec," and have seat out almost anything they fancied might suit. In the same way, a great number of wholesal€ dealers and manufacturers have acted as merchants, and shipped freely. Among them it is that the pressure, if any, will be felt ; but no one can doubt that the ustraliantrade, on the whole, had yielded enormous profits, and that it is high time, in the interest of the colonies, that a fall in prices should occur. At the meeting of the South Sea Stock proprie tors, held this day, it was stated that the balance of the Bond Debt remained at 4,5001. A long and interesting discussion took place in respect to the payment of those who had agreed to have money for their stock ; but it appeared, f rom th e state ment of the Chairman, that they, as trustees, could not pay back the money without an express Act of Parliament for that purpose. It was considered by many present that such an act ought to be pro cured without delay. I Committee of Bye-laws was chosen for the ensuing year. The English Stocks have been buoyant, and there is a good deal of buying back. More favour able accounts are stated to have been received from Constantinople, where the peace party were getting greater influence. Consols opened at 91/ to 92, and have since risen. to 93-k to g. Already money stock is said to be scarcer— a strange assertion after the recent assertions of and abundant supply. But the truth is that no one can ascertain in periods of excite ment how matters exactly stand. Exchequer Bills have been done at Bs. to 155., and India Bonds at 3s. to 10s. prem. India Stock has been firm at 243. The Foreign Stock Market has been more elastic. Mexican Bonds have been 23 to 23, and Peruv;an 71 to 72. Equador is steady at 4i. Brazilian old Bonds have been worth 100. Portuguese 4 per Cents. are 411 Russian 5 per Cents. have been done as high as 1141, after opening at 111. Dutch 21 per Cents. are 62 to In the Railway Market this is settling day, and prices have all advanced in consequence of the rase in the funds. Caledonian have advanced 11. to 21., Great Western 10s., North-Western 1/. to 21., Mid land Norfolk 11., York and Berwick 1, and York and North Midland 11. French Shares are better likewise. The Gold Mines have been very quiet, and the Land Companies' firm. The Australian Banks are flat. BANK OF ENGLAND. Another alteration has been made by the Direc tors of the Bank of England at their meeting this day, in the minimum rate of discount, although loans upon stock are obtainable at a lower rate than the Bank has charged. The charge is now 5 per cent. This sudden fall is attributable to the advance in the Bank rate. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (Prom the Official List.) Business done. 3 per Cont.

The right hon. gentleman quitted Dunrobin Cast'• yesterday, passing the night at Tarbat House—the s, at of the Marquis of Stafford—and arriving in Dingwall at half-past one o'clock. There he drove to the residence of his relative, Mrs. Chisholm, and a few minutes after wards signified that he was ready to receive the Magis trates and Council. It happened, unfortunately, that the Provost, Sir James Matheson, Bart., was detained at Lews Castle ; but Bailie Macdonald and the other members, accompanied by Sheriff Cameron, the Rev. Mr. Sutherland, and several other gentlemen, proceeded thither. They met a most cordial reception from the right hon. gentleman, with whom was Mrs. Gladstone and several other ladies. QUANTITIES OF GRAIN SOLD. LAST WEEK. Wheat, 94,461 ; Barley, 12,042; Oats, 10.f666; Rye, 548 ; Bears 1,661; Peas, 703 (patters. Bailie MACDONALD briefly expressed the gratification with which they welcomed him to the place, and ex plained the resolution to which the Council had come. Mr. GRIGOR presented the burgess ticket, which bore to be given in testimony of the high respect and estima tion entertained by the Council for him " as the sup porter of liberal economical principles, and as one of the most enlightened statesmen and financiers who has ever taken part in the public affairs of this great empire;" and conferred upon him in the usual form the "power to use and exercise all the privileges and immunities" belonging to an honorary burgess. Mr. GLADSTONE then spoke as follows :—" Gentle men, I accept with the liveliest pleasure, and with strong sentiments of gratitude both the burgess ticket which you have been pleased to confer upon me, and also the address with which you have been good enough to accompany it. If, as you have said, you think this occasion of my visit to Dingwall one of interest to you, much more so is it an occasion of interest to myself. My occupations have been of such a nature as not to allow me to visit this part of the country so frequently as I could have wished. The time that has elapsed since I last had the honour of acquainting myself with Dingwall is no less than 37 years. I have brought with me now my son, who is much farther advanced in boyhood than I was then. The period I have mentioned is a large part of human life, it comprises one full generation, and most of those whom I now address could, if I mistake not, only have been children when I was last here. I have watched with the greatest interest, as it was impossible I could not but watch, the many changes which have been effected in this part of the country since that period. It has pleased Providence to impress this beautiful dis trict with signs and tokens on the physical conformation of the country which render it easy to retain in the memory its highly interesting features. And, so far as the surface of the land is concerned, I have witnessed with delighted surprise how the diligence, prudence, energy, and enterprise of Scotsmen have been continually engaged in making the wilderness to blossom as the rose. I do not mean to say that these effects are peculiar to this district ; but I am persuaded that in no part of the country has the progress of improvement been more rapid. The town of Dingwall itself has undergone an entire transformation since I knew it. The houses which at that time were conspicuous for their good ness have now been thrown into the shade, and every where we witness delightful specimens of that ac tivity and progress which now characterises every part of the country. I think you are aware that those who are connected either by blood or recollection with the Highlands of Scotland, do not easily lose their interest in the population, nor their attachment to the soil. For me, the connection of my family with Dingwall must ever be a source of the ten derest aid most endearing association, becaase she to whom I owe my birth was not only a native herself, but although removed far away for scores of years, continued to cherish an attachment towards it in a degree not sur passed by any of its inhabitants. On every personal and domestic ground therefore I cannot but feel deeply grate ful for this tribute of your regard. While saying this, I am bound to mention likewise, that I cannot criti cally examine the opinion you have been pleased to pronounce upon my public conduct. I ought not, however, to omit, mentioning my admiration of the tone and spirit in which your address is conceived. In it you express a just and praiseworthy hope that I and the Government of which I am a member, " may long continue to eschew party warfare, promote safe and progressive reform, and carry out in all the institu tions of the state thorough and needful amelioration." Gentlemen, I do feel and believe, and it is a source of no small satisfaction to myself, that the present Govern ment is distinguished more than many which preceded it by coming less in contact with mere party organisa tion, and being less pledged to the purposes of party warfare. It is composed, as you know, for the most part, of men having great experience in public ser vice. This is my twenty-first year of public life, and yet I am, certainly not its youngest member, but still young, compared with those veteran statesmen who occupy the chief places in the councils of her Majesty. They are united by an honourable bond ; and I may take it upon me to say that their objects and wishes are no other than you have expressed. I spoke of those changes on the face of the coun try which are palpable to the eye, but other changes, also, have taken place, during the lapse of those event ful years to which I have referred—changes involving a greater amount of legislative effort after improvement, and comprising larger and more beneficial results than have ever been gathered together during any period of the same length in the history of our country. Looking to the course which legislation has taken—setting minor objects aside—allowing for that freedom of opinion which, thank God, prevails in this country—and for the differences with which that freedom must be attended, I think we must all feel that the institutions of the country have been working well—that they have been working for the benefit of the mass of the commu nity. The steps taken may by some be deemed too slow or too short ; but, on the whole, they have been in what is called the right direction—the character of the policy which the country has pursued has been of a nature which will honourably distinguish her his tory, and which marks her state and condition in a manner the most favourable as compared with those of other nations. When Lord Aberdeen took office he de clared it to be his special mission—not of course, putting other objects aside—to defend, complete, and seal that great work of commercial reform the extension of which has been the main characteristic of the last ten years. I hope you think him faithful to his pledge. At this par ticular moment, when it is pleasing Providence to press on other nations something like a scarcity of the fruits of the earth, I hope there are none among those whom, I address, who do not feel profoundly thankful for the adoption of that wise policy, by which we have removed every trammel and restraint on the supply of that article upon which our population are depen dent for subsistence. It is the lot of man to labour —to earn his bread by labour ; but it was a sad ' and miserable delusion, when, in addition to this pe nalty laid upon him in the wise counsel of God, we undertook to interfpre and render scarce by artificial laws the bread upon which he is to subsist. I really must say that all who took a part in the beneficial i work of altering those laws ought to feel thankful to the Almighty for being permitted to share in carrying through measures so beneficial in their tendency ; so full of bene volence towards the masses of the community ; and—if I must add another motive—so calculated as that legis lation has been, and has shown itself to be, to strengthen the attachment of the people to the institutions of the country, and to confirm alike their sentiments of rever ence for law, their loyalty to the Throne, and their ap preciation of the blessings they enjoy from the constitution under which they live. There never was a more signal example of the advantages to be derived from the adop tion of wise and well-considered improvement than that exhibited by this country. These must speak to the mind of every public man, and recommend a pesever ance in that course which experience has shown to be fraught with so much benefit. And, if other encou ragements be needed, they are to be derived while tra velling through the land from meetings such as this— where intelligent men, chosen to represent the wants, wishes, and interests of particular localities, come for ward to receive us with expressions of decided approval and kindly overlook our many deficiencies. I trust the effect of these testimonies will be to inspire us with a determination to devote ourselves, so long as we remain the servants of the Crown, with at least singleness of purpose, and without regard to party objects, to the promotion of the public welfare. I beg again most sin cerely and cordially to express my gratitude for the hon our you have have done me, and to express the satisfac tion with which I accept the freedom of this burgh which it has been your pleasure to confer upon me, and have listened to the wise, sound, and judicious address with which it was accompanied. Wine was then served round to the company—Mr. ' Gladstone drinking to the prosperity of the burgh. The ceremony then ended, and the assembly separated. MEAT MARKETS NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.—A fair average busi ness was transacted in these markets to-day, as follows : Beef, from 2s 10d. to 3s 10d ; Mutton, 33 6d to 4s 10d ; veal, 3s 6d to 4s 6d ; Pork, 3s 6d to 5s 4d per Blbs, by the carcase.

The accounts from the coast continue to furnish details of numerous casualties during the recent heavy gale. The outward bound sea-going steamers appear to have had a most severe trial, and the escape of some trading between the Eastern ports and Holland have been surprising. The wind, which had moderated to wards Monday evening, and remained so throughout the night, seems to have freshened on the following morning, and to have blown with much force. The French squadron, which had been delayed in the Downs by the boisterous weather until too late to do honour to the Emperor at Calais, and got under weigh on Tuesday morning in the hope of reaching Boulogne in time to receive his Imperial Majesty, could not make any progress against the stiff south-wester, which was blowing right up Channel ; and, in order to avoid any serious misfortune, the fleet ran back, in the course of the afternoon, to its old anchorage in the Downs, where the ships were brought safely up for the night. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning they made another start, but with no better success, it is reported, the wind continuing to blow hard. It is bringing up, however, a number of homeward-bound ships ; among them several from Australia, with a vast quantity of gold on board. The vessel which was wrecked at the mouth of Blake ney harbour, near Cromer, with all on board, was the John and Hannah's Endeavour, of Goole. The crew endeavoured to reach the shore in the boat, which was capsized by the heavy surf, and all perished. Several of the bodies have been cast up on the beach, among them that of a woman. While the gale was at its height, the smack Rover, of Scarborough, was driven from her anchor, near the coast, and cast upon one of the adjacent sands, where, it is feared, the whole of the crew met with a watery grave. The wreck previously reported on the Long Sands turns out to be a small schooner. Nothing is known of the hands. The Royal Adelaide steam-ship, which left the Thames on Saturday night for Leith, encoun tered the full force of the storm. She contrived to make her way as far as the Spurn, but the tempest was too much for her ; her rudder became damaged, and she had to get back. Happily, she succeeded in making Lowestoft harbour. The screw-steamer Ivanhoe, on a passage to Leith from Rotterdam, had to run into Grimsby with loss of steering wheel and other damage. The Glenalbyn steamer, which was on a voyage from Hamburg to Leith, was driven far out of her course by the gale, and eventually had to make for Grimsby. The Royal Victoria, Mr. Hunter, master, a large ship, which had arrived off the Spurn from New Orleans, had a most marvellous escape. Early on Monday morning the heavy wind. and tremendous sea drove her from her anchors, tear ing away the windlass. She was brought to for some time, but the increased gale blew away much of her canvas. She afterwards shipped a heavy sea, which did considerable mischief on deck, and filled the cabin with water. The wind continuing north it was deemed advisable to run for the Downs. Getting round, how ever, to the westward, a course was shaped to Lowes toft, which she reached. The Mary Ann, Stone master, bound to Newhaven from Sunderland, was not so fortu nate. While off the Kentish Knock and endeavouring to weather the gale, she was overpowered by it, and made so much water that the crew were compelled to abandon her, and, doubtless, she soon foundered. The hands were picked up by a Yarmouth smack, and have since landed at that port. ANOTHER RISE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—Yester day much surprise was expressed by the public, but particularly by the mechanical and working classes, as the majority of the bakers throughout the metropolis roso the 41b. loaf one penny. The first-rate bakers at the West-end, the Strand, Holborn, and the City, now charge 114 d., and some even ls. for the best wheaten bread ; the second class bakers,Bld. to 91d. per 4 lb., weighed on delivery. In some of the populated dis tricts, however, many only charge 71d. to Bd. the loaf, also weighed on delivery, a n d goo d w h o l esome b rea d. The bakers, as an excuse for this sudden rise, state that there is not only a great deficiency both of wheat and flour in this country in consequence of a bad harvest, but that a great quantity is being exported to France and other parts of the Continent.

S OMERVILLE HAY.— This hon. and rev. gentleman died at Brighton on Sun day last, in his 37th year. He wi is the only son of George, 16th Earl of Erroll, by his tliird marriage. He married, in 1843, Lady Diana Erskii le, daughter of the Earl of Buchan, by whom he has left an infant family. THE SWEARING-IN OF THE SHERIF] s.—Yesterday the swearing-in of Sheriffs for the ensuin g year took place, according to custom, in the Guildhall; and previous to the ceremony, Mr. Alderman Wire entertained the members of the Innholders' company., of which he is a member, and also the deputy, the colnmon council, and some of the principal inhabitants of the ward of Wal brook, at a breakfast, at Girdlers' Hall, Basinghall street. Many of the most distinguished civic function• aries were present, and amongst th.em Mr. Alderman Salomons, who, however, was compelled to retire in consequence of a public engagement. Various toasts were proposed and warmly responded to by the company, their chief object be'ng to acknowledge the services per formed by the sheriffs in office, and to give support and encouragement to the gentlemen w'no were about to undertake the duties. GLASGOW HARBOUR.—Our harb< )111" is unusually crowded with shipping at present, the berths at both the north and south aides being full - occupied, and, in many instances, by three and four tier of vessels abreast of each other. At no former peric , d have we seen so many large ships in the harbour at one time. Some idea may be formed of the immense traffic, both export and import, continually going on, by simpl y glancing at the huge piles of goods that may be seen u: ader the sheds. A very large proportion of this traffic is with our Austra lian colonies ; and, judging from appearances at the whar7s, the intercourse with that land of promise is still increasing with unabated vigour. It wi is but the other day that we noticed the completion in t his city of four first-class omnibuses to ply at Melbour, ne, and also an iron house for the same place. A few da.ys, and, packed in a very small compass, both will be oa shipboard, and off to their destination. And these are bu.t trifles among the many thousand shipments of the same kind which are constantly being made.—Glasgow papel% MR. GLADSTONE AT INVERNESS. Mr. Gladstone arrived here shortly after five, and was received at the Union Hotel by a deputation of the magistrates and Town Council, who accompanied him thence to the Court-house. The large building was crammed in every corner, and among those present was a considerable number of ladies. Mr. Gladstone, on entering along with the Provost, was received with loud applause. The Provost, on rising, introduced Mr. Gladstone to the meeting, and introduced the purpose for which they had assembled—requesting the town clerk to read the address which had been prepared. Mr. GLADSTONE rose to respond. He spoke as fol lows :—Mr. Provost, Bailies, Town Councillors, Brother Burgesses, Ladies and Gentlemen,—lt is with great and lively satisfaction that I find myself enrolled by your Town Council, not I hope without the approbation of the community they represent—(cheers) —on the list o burgesses of this ancient burgh —a burgh which occu pies, and I hope may continue to occupy, a distinguished place in the history of Scotland. There are various causes, quite independent of my own merits, to which I may owe this honour. I think it not unlikely that the connection of my family with this district of the country —a connection which I shall ever most fondly cherish and remember— may have suggested to you the confer ence of this distinction, to which I could otherwise pre sent but a slender claim. lam not unaware that in other respects, also, I derive advantage and reap honour from the association which it has been my good for tune to form. I do not forget that lam associated in the service of th e C rown wi th many distinguished statesmen of great ability, unstained character, and LATEST IFORKIGN NEWS, long experience of public life, who may have bee known in other times and under other circun stances by varying party designations, but who, when crisis arrived in the history of the country on the great question of commercial legislation, cast away every per sonal consideration, forgot every personal distinction, and asked themselves alone in what manner can we best serve the Crown and the country ? (Cheers.) With these wise and eminent men, united on that ground and for such an object, it has been my happy lot to he associated. I have derived profit from their profound experience, I have shared the honours awarded to their established character, and by their advice and support I have been enabled—if there be any benefit to be drawn from the financial labours of last session—to compass what could not otherwise have been attained. (Cheers.) At any rate, and to whatever cause I may b e i n d e b ted for the tribute, I receive it with delight, and my satisfaction is enhanced by the manner in which it has been conveyed. I am much gratified by the assurance you have given me as to the manner in which the proposal was received by the Town Council, and I am glad to see by this crowded hall that their sentiments are shared in and confirmed by the community—that this is not an affair of a party or a class, but has its origin in a spontaneous and gene ral sentiment pervading the mass of the people. It was not for any mere party purpose that Lord Aberdeen accepted the post which he now holds, or that Lord John Russell—who himself had held the office of Prime Minister with honour and distinction—consented to join him ; and I flatter myself that their views for the pro motion of the general welfare will meet a yet wider ap preciation, successful though they have been already in securing a large measure of support from the repre sentatives of the people in Parliament—a support ratified by such manifestations on the part of - the people themselves as that of which I have now the honour to be the object. (Cheers.) Allusion is made to two principal subjects in your address—the two subjects which perhaps press most urgently on public notice at the present moment—the commercial legisla ture, which will for ever render memorable the last ten years, and a reference to foreign politics and govern ments. With regard to the subject of commercial legis lation, I have already said that I stand here to-day reaping where others have sown. I had indeed the honour to be associated with the late Sir Robert Peel in the earlier stages by which the principles of that legisla tion which is now more fully recognised were introduced ; and to my dying day it will be a source of satisfaction to me that, from the formation of his government onwards, I was honoured to bear, if an humble, still a laborious part, in giving effect to those improvements and alterations of our commercial and fiscal laws which have shed upon the country richer and more numerous blessings than even the anticipations of the most sanguine dared have looked for. (Cheers.) During five or six years past we have been congratu lating ourselves on the enjoyment of them amid cheap ness and abundance, though we may have felt that a time would come when, from a pressure upon tl • means of subsistence, the people would have less facrity in obtaining access to them. And how marked is the testimony to . Z,he wisdom of recent legislation in the spirit which now prevails ! Go back to other times and we find that when corn was dear the natural anxiety and impatience of the people vented itself in violations of law, in riot, and in bloodshed ; and even in other coun tries this continues still to be the case. Only a few days ago I read of the governors of two Italian towns losing their lives as a sacrifice to the impatience of the popula tion arising from such a cause. Thus it ever has been where man steps in to correct Providential arrangements, and where the pressure of scarcity is aggravated by unwise laws. But see the contrast here ! Not in this quarter, but in other quarters of the country, there is a deficient harvest, and the demand for corn to France has affected our markets ' • but not through all England or S co tl an d i s there heard a murmer of impatience or discontent, for the peo ple rest satisfied that if there be a dispensation of scarcity it comes from that Providence whose it is to dis pense the measures both of abundance and want, they know that human legislation has done all that it can to effect free scope to the energy and industry of man, and hence there is everywhere that tranquillity, content ment, and self-reliance which we should most desire to prevail. (Cheers.) Your Provost has said that we have not met here to celebrate a party triumph. There was a time when the question of protective duties was made one of party struggle and conflict. There was a time, even after the victory had been achieved, when a large party adopted " Protection" as their motto and in scribed it on their banners. But those times are gone by, the force of truth has won its way, and I scarcely believe that after the evidence which the lapse of time has accumulated, there exists any longer a section of the community who, if they had the power, would wish to step back, to alter, or modify a system of legislation so beneficial. (Cheers.) What was once but an opinion of philosophers in their closets, spread from one class to another, occupied the minds of statesmen, obtained the voice of Parliament, took the force of law, is now the fixed policy of England, and reigns enthroned in the sanction and heart of the country. (Loud cheers.) And let me add the expres sion of an anticipatory hope that the end of its triumphs has not yet been reached. The example of England is of mighty force. Her example has had much to do in persuading the other nations of Europe that in a re strictive commercial code there was some magical secret of national wealth and prosperity. But the delusion once rejected by us it will not be long maintained by them ; the emphatic testimony to the advantages of free commerce which the triumphant results of a full and unsparing application of its principles has yielded here, will work its way among the intelligent people of the continent, producing a similar development of plenty and blessing among them ; mutual intercourse will be advanced, and the benefits which come in the train of increased communication and augmented wealth will thus be multiplied ; great social and moral aims which we desire to see promoted will be helped onwards, the tendency to international strife and war will be re pressed ; and if we do not thus realise all the blessings which Christianity promises to mankind, many of thes e evils which must seriously hinder their advance will be taken out of the way. (Loud cheers.) Your address also adverts to my humble efforts in behalf of those whom I believe to be oppressed in another country. It must be painful to us, natives of Great Britain—citizens of a country where the principles of liberty and obedience to law are both held in deserved veneration—of a country where the most extensive changes are brought about by legal and rational means—it must be most painful for us to look abroad over the Continent and see how little progress the nations of Europe have made in the path of temperate and rational freedom. There is one year which I fear must be marked as very disas trous in their annals—l mean the revolutionary year of 1848—for while certainly there was much which deserved to be swept away, the effect was to provoke a terrible reaction—to diminish the hope of rational free dom—to exasperate the spirit of despotism where it ex isted—to develope extreme opinions—and to diminish the prospect of gradual and temperate advance to that system of constitutional government—the results of which we so happily enjoy. In the country where it was my fortune to reside at the period to which allusion has been made, I perceived that great sufferings were inflicted on large numbers in consequence of this re actionary spirit—a spirit, the natural effect of whose manifestations is certainly to provoke popular resist ance, and to engender many terrible evils. Ido en tertain an earnest hope fer the improvement of Italy ; and, so far as the present Government is concerned, I am sure it will be their endeavour to promote that object--not in the spirit of reckless propagandism, which would raise up the national spirit against us, but by such a wise and temperate policy as will secure our moral influence. At present we cannot speak with satisfaction of foreign politics. You well know that causes are operative which threaten the peace of Eu rope. I trust you also know, and are well persuaded, that the most anxious efforts of the British Govern ment have been directed towards the maintenance of general peace, and the protection of those who want i strength to protect themselves. (Cheers.) No assurance from me to this effect is wanted, for the temper and at titude of the people havevshoe it how thoughtfully they confide in their rulers, and bow anxious they are for the maintenance of peace combined with honour. The time is happily past when an ignorant eagerness for war could take possession of masses of the community, we do not fail to profit by the lesssons of history, thougb after 40 years of peace, when most of us have grown up with out any actual experience of the evils of a state of war, we may be apt to forget their number and magnitude. The heavy burdens which war entails on posterity is the least of its evils ; it is the effusion of human blood, the dissolution of domestic ties, the letting loose of a moral scourge over a country which ought to be thought of, and which impose an absolute obligation on Governments and statesmen to avoid it at the cost of any sacrifice short of duty and honour. This isthe prin ciple which has guided the Government throughout the negotiation of the last few months ; and by this rule they would still act, knowing that it was with individuals as with nations—that a war might be very popular at its commencement which would be very hateful at its close, just as there were few people who entered on a quarrel otherwise than brave and self-reliant, but who might not like it much •ere all was over. Mr. Glad stone, then, remarking that the shades of evening which were closing round them, conveyed a warning to be brief, proceeded to refer to the future—alluding especially to the great change which has of late come over the spirit and temper of parties. At the sacrifice of much personal feeling, in violation of the strict terms of poli tical consistency, many useful measures had been carried through, with the farther effect of completely disorgan ising old party connections. The House of Commons was not now divided into two compact forces opposing each other on every trivial point ; the broad contrasts of party had been obliterated ; and members of the legislature ex ercised more their own reason, and were actuated to a greater extent by their honest convictions. This in itself was real progress ; it was a result which augured well for the triumph of reason and justice. It was a consequence of this state of matters that the present administration had received so large an amount of what is termed "independent support." From its character and ex perience, it was peculiarly bound to go on concili ating favour of that kind ; and the best way to ac complish such an object was neither, on the one hand to hug past abuses under the pretence of maintaining I Oa our institutions; nor on the other, recklessly to urge a I ... ------------r.. m e eting on d o f demand at variance with the essential characteristics a i a , d'V ated t ,' "l' our institutions.
