trlt Zbittion SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock, COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH-( THIS DAY. THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF DR . ACHILLI) V. DR. NEWMAN. Mr. Baddeley followed Mr. Sergeant Wilkins on the same side, and concluded the case. Lord Campbell intimated that the Court would take time to consider their judgment. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, JAN. 21—At the beginning of this week the Canada's advices (New York, 4th January), informed us that the week's receipts of cotton were 126,000 bales against 84,000, and the total receipts 1,377,000 against 93'4000, at the corresponding date of last year. But there was an increased disposition in the south to re duce the estimates of the ultimate yield to 3,100,000 bales. For this opinion there does not appear to be any foundation. Much is said about a heavy falling off in the receipts being close at hand, but it is not at all pro bable that an excess of 445,000 bags will be wiped off. Nor does this seem to be believed by holders on the other side ; for, when they gain anything in price, or recover from any decline, it is mainly in consequence of improved accounts from this side. Unfavourable advices hence to the 10th December occasioned a giving way at New Orleans of lc. to Ac. per lb., which was regained on the arrival of better news to the 15th ult. It is evident that prices have been unduly run up by the extraordinary amount of orders sent out by British spinners ; and the Americans are constantly looking for support to the Liverpool and Manchester markets, with a degree of anxiety which betrays a want of confidence. We can see no real ground for the pre sent reduction of the estimates ; and, making proper al lowance for the increase of spinning power, it seems rea sonable to conclude that another crop of more than three 'Won bales, immediately following that of last year, together with a greatly increased import from India, must give us a moderate range of prices. Let it be borne in mind, too, that we have now in Liverpool a stock of 603,200 bales against 408,200 a year back. There are evidences of the arts resorted to in order to get up prices, which should put spinners on their guard. For instance, Messrs. M'Connell, Wanroy, and Co. of Mobile state that the first tidings they had of a killing frost, and of destructive rains and floods, came from Liverpool. On Monday we received the overland letters and papers, which have led to some purchases of mule twist for Cal cutta, and water twist for Canton, at rather better prices, as well as to a little inquiry f or skirtings adapted to the Shanghai and Calcutta markets, and these goods are in clined to harden in price. The home demand for yarns is fair—for cloth good ; and' the continental houses are doing somwhat more in the former. Printing cloths con tinue to be wanted in a degree which fully sustains their value. The lighter and narrower domestics are inquired for by shippers, and the home houses are ra th er more in clined to purchase the better qualities. Our market is in a sound strte ; producers are bare of stock (except in domestics), and pretty well supplied with orders, and the tendency of prices is rather to harden. This tendency arises mainly from demand ; the American accounts hav ing only a small effect. These have more influence in Liverpool, where cotton has gained id. per lb. in the week. BRADFORD, JAN. 20.—Wools— The transactions during the week are certainly not so buoyant as at the close of the last and the opening of the present year, nor is it de sirable that they should, for the staplers who then cleared out their stocks have not been generally able to replace their supplies, and those who have done so cannot offer on terms so favourable to the buyers. It is quite evi dent that the country growers are clinging to their clips, and the dealers consequently hold for high prices, which causes the supply coming to market to be diminished. This will not be attended with any great inconvenience, as the consumers are in good supply from their re cent purchases. Noils and brokes are in good re quest, and better prices are obtainable. Yarns— The advanced prices which worsted yarns are now commanding has brought quantities out from the ship ping merchants for re-sale, and this, along with the pre sent production, is going into consumption; so that ere long the market will be in worse supply, and unless manufacture is wholly abandoned on the continent, we may fairly calculate on a further rise, so soon as ship ments for the spring are bought. Pieces—There is one general cry of loss, for to cover cost is impossible. The prices on all raw material and yarns totally preclude the possibility of making a profit. This is certainly the time when merchants are usually dull, for shipments to the States for the spring are closed, and it is too early for the home trade. There is a great inquiry for something new, but there is nothing variable from last season.— Bradford Observer. NOTTINGHAM 20.—The lace trade has lately ex perienced an increased demand for some kinds of goods, which we trust may be continued. Amongst orders for other articles for shipment, is a fair inquiry for curtains. The price of goods and yarn is not changed. The hosiery business continues good, and the cotton glove branch is said to be mending. Nearly every other branch is still in a flourishing condition, as orders, both for the home and colonial market, are large. There is not any alteration in the price of yarn. —Nottingham Journal, LEICESTER, JAN. 20.—Notwithstanding the advance of yarn but few hands have been suspended at the pre sent, the shirt and sock branches continue good, and the fancy branch has been relieved by shipping orders. Yarns are firm, but in limited demand. The cotton de mand continues good, and the wool market continues its upward appearance.—Leicester Journal. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) The London market for wool has been very steady, and there is a fair business in most descriptions of foreign and colonial. The public sales are expected about the 10th of next month. Probably 30,000 to 40,000 bales will be offered, a good proportion being in second hands, and having been offered at th e l as t sa l es. Th e quant i ty in the wareouses is larger than usual at this season, and as the imports from Australia are likely to continue more regularly than was expected, some curiosity is ex , pr3ssed as to the future course of prices. In the English wool market there is not any change to report this week. Prices continue firm, with an upward tendency. In the Liverpool wool market there has been conside rable animation in both foreign and home wools. Prices arJ firmer and in some cases higher. Imports very light. tVith regard to cloths there has been a very good business done this week in the cloth-halls ; the market on Saturday was a very excellent one, and a large quantity of cloth changed hands ; there was also a full average business done on Tuesday. Prices are very firm, with an upward tendency, and there is every pro bability that they will rule higher, unless the advance of discounts by the Bank should have the effect of checking the advance in the price of all raw materials which has been going on lately. There has been a moderate busi ness done in the warehouses this week ; buyers generally have a disposition to purchase freely at old prices, but as an advance is regularly taking place on fresh goods, it rather checks trade in the warehouses at present. BRADFORD MARKET.—This being the interval of the seasons, the trade is dull. Prices do not pay, and yarns are stationary. In the wool market there is great ex citement and total uncertainty. Since the year came in, large purchases have been made for production, and the staplers are well supplied. Stocks of colonial wool are low in staplers' hands. A party from Liverpool has been buying largely of this description during the past week, but there is much discussion as to the real nature of his operations. Prices have again advanced, and there is considerable speculation going on. Many large dealers, on th e contrary, are doubtful about the continu ance of the present rates, as they cannot see any demand in the trade to support them, and argue that if wool be really getting scarcer, spindles must run short time. HOSIERY.—TRADE OF LElCESTER.—Notwithstanding the advance of yarn, but few hands have been suspended at present • the shirt and sock branches continue good, and the fancy branch has been relieved by shipping orders. Yarns are firm, but in limited demand. The e° l, ton demand continues good, and the wool market still continues its upward tendency. LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKETS, JAN. 20.

The annual festival of the Potters' School of Design, which usually excites considerable interest in pot ery district of Staffordshire, was held at Burslem. The ordinary attractions of the meeting were greatly en hanced by the announcement that the Rarl of Carlisle would take the chair ; and it was not therefore surpris ing that the spacious room in which the inhabitants as sembled should very quickly, after the doors were thrown open on Wednesday night, be filled to over flowing. The Earl of CARLISLE, who was received with much cheering, opened the business of the evening by saying —Ladies and gentlemen, I appear before you on the present occasion, in compliance with the invitation which I was honoured by receiving in the course of last autumn, to attend and take the chair at the annual meeting of the Schools of Design in the Potteries' Dis trict—(cheers)—and although I hope, therefore, that I shall not be arraigned for presumption in doing so by the present company, yet I certainly feel that I cannot so easily acquit myself on that account. Neither my education nor my habits of life, nor my acquisitions by reading, have qualified me to hold discourse upon this subject ; and I am clearly sinning against the old rule laid down long ago by the poet Horace, which may be thus rendered— " Of pottery, let potters speak !" (Great cheering and laughter.) While there are such distinguished manufacturers as Mr. Ridgway, Mr. Min ton, and others around me, I find myself not listening to them, but occupying the chair in their place, and I really feel that I can scarcely hazard an observation in their presence without the danger of making some awful blunder. (Cheers and laughter.) I know there are so many essential, though by me ill-understood, differences between pottery and crockery, and hardware and stone ware, and finestoneware and ironstoneware, and earthen ware and firedware, and japan and china, and porce lain hard and porcelain soft, and delf and eggshell, and enamel and tiles, and terracotta and bisque and Parian, and all sorts of crocke r y an d p o tt ery, w i t h out going into such geographical distinctions as Sevres and Dresden, and Chelsea and Staffordshire: (Loud cheers and laughter.) All I feel certain of is, that, if Igo into particulars, shall make a tremendous smash—(cheers and laughter)—and effectually produce you that which can be represented by nothing better than the familiar figure, which I hope may never be realised by any here, a bull in one of your own china-shops. (Great cheer ing.) We are met, however, to promote the effi ciency of what may be called the ceramic department. I know not how far the niceties of scholarship have tra velled amongst you, or that I am not already blamed for net calling it " keramic ; " but I only hope that with the name will be imparted the grace of classic antiquity. (Cheers.) There are, however, considerations which might well warrant any one, however unskilled and unversed in this particular craft, but yet who might feel an interest in the welfare and prosperity of the country generally, to express his sympathy with the objects which have called together the present as sembly. lam informed that there are 200 factories in England now engaged in pottery, with an annual amount of production of the value of 2,000,000/. sterling. in the year before last, as much as 84,000,000 of pieces of pottery were exported from this kingdom ; and, in the vast network of industry which covers all this neighbourhood about us, there must be fully 60,000 people employed in this species of manufacture. (Hear, hear.) I conceive that to men tion these bare statistical facts is a more real and im posing tribute to the importance of the pottery manufac ture than it would be to dwell upon the venerable an tiquity of its origin, or on the repute and dignity with which it appears to have been invested in all ages of mankind. (Cheers.) You must all of you be familiar with the frequent metaphors derived from the potter and his art in the Bible itself. The limits of Grecian con quest and of Roman empire are still defined by the ves tiges found, from time to time, of their pottery ; and in many instances the names of successful artificers in clay have been "married to immortal song." (Loud cheers.) But, however grand may have been the uses to which this ingenious and delicate handicraft has been put in successive generations of the world—whether to bold the ashes, or to record the achievements, of the illus trious dead, or to reward the victors in the public games, or in the musical or poetical contests of the classic ages ; or—more ignoble appropriation —to adorn the cabinets and the toilets of the voluptuous favourites of monarchs • or to attest the bett er - earne d grat i tude due to such 2be nefactors of the human race as our peerless Wellington —(cheers)--I feel that you will agree with me that this art finds its highest and most appropriate vocation when it is made to subserve to the daily service, and minister to the convenience of, millions, while it excites and de velopes a taste for refinement and beauty among the thick masses of mankind. (Loud cheers.) This brings me more directly to the special object of our meeting to gether here to-night. I have just intimated that the peculiar aim of your art ought to be to make the highest amount of beauty minister to and subserve the greatest extent of use.. Now, with respect to use, think we may safely trust the practical, straightforward, not over-romantic genius of our countrymen with find. ing out what would be most wanted, what the most welcome, what would suit the greatest number of con sumers ; but I am not sure that we can as implicitly rely on their unaided and uninstructed aptitude to evince the best artistic discrimination, to employ the most happy combination of colours, or to select the most fault less shapes and proportions in the form of their ware. I think, however, it would be both unjust and illiberal not to admit in these respects, as in others more essential, that a great advance has been recently made. (Cheers.) It is not here, in the heart of the district which gav e birth to Wedgewood—(cheers)--and to others, subse quently, of almost equal renown, several of whoni I am happy now to see around me—it is not in the neighbour hood of the British Etruria, for which Flaxman modelled, and in which Wedgewood wrought, that I should think of using the language of disparagement or of discourage ment. (Cheers.) May I not, too, in our own day, refer to the beautiful new manufacture called Parian, which combines so much beauty of material with so much capacity for exquisite outline and form (which I believe we may call exclusively our own), and evidenced by the Niobe, the Andromeda, the Dorothea, and the Vintage. (Cheers.) But let me remind you—and you may recur to it with just pride—of the distinguished position which Staffordshire occupied in the great Exhibition of 1851. (Cheers.) Where was it in the thick crowd of all the races of the world, and in the rich array of all the productions of mankind—where was it that, day after day, and week after week, from the first opening of the doors at morning to the last crash of the gong at even— where was the densest mass, and where the most difficult means of passage ? If you ask me, I should point to that portion of the gallery which overhung the angle of the northwest transept—(loud cheers)—and from the con stant gathering and the untiring interest thereby ex pressed, it is right to infer that Staffordshire occupied no mean position in that central mart of the productions of the world. (Cheers.) • But it is one thing to droop and despond, it is another thing to presume and stagnate— (loud cheers)—and though I learn that from the manu factory at Sevres, now again an imperial establishment, and from France there are now exported wares of this kind to the valve of 800,0001. a-year—we may take courage from the circumstance that we have all the ele ments of success before us. We have a great choice of material, a great command of fuels, a great supply of in telligent workmen, an increased appreciation of the true principles and laws of art, and a larger share of atten tion bestowed on such objects, both byindividual patrons and by the public generally ; only, I must respectfully remind you that, in the face of the competition of the world, there is still an ample call for exertion, and if there be not progress, there is likely to be falling off and decay. (Cheers.) It is here that I think the establishment and encouragement of schools of design come to be of such first-rate importance—(cheers) --and if ever there were a district, and if ever there were a species of manufacture, for which they seem pro-eminently adapted and required, I should say it was the district in which we are now met, and are aware that the art of design comprehends both the proper composition of the pattern and the proper admix ture of the clay. Well, so far it may be said to be appli cable also to textile fabrics, in which excellence in colour and pattern, too, is indispensable ; but excellence with regard to shape cannot be said to be so indispensable as respects dress, or we should not hear so much of long waists and short waists, or speak of ampler or more con tracted circumferences. (Great laughter.) But, in the pottery manufacture there is no portion of the composition of a piece —whether that of the preparer, the modeller,. or the gilder—in which the art of design has not its ap propriate place. (Cheers.) Nor is it an untried or an uncer tain experiment that we are met to recommend to-night. ' The Pottery Schools of Design have already obtained a recognised and highly creditable footing. (Cheers.) I feel, as I said before, that I am not a person qualified to give an opinion on such a point ; or, even if I were, I might almost suspect in myself, or, at least give grounds for others to suspect, a tendency not uncommon amongst Persons in the habit of addressing meetings—a tendency to say things to conciliate the favour, and to smooth the complacency, of those gathered before them—but ' happily, with reference to your schools of design, I am able to refer to more authentic sources for the due dis tribution of praise. (Cheers.) There has been, as I o the understand,spec i mens i m i neformer of dr a wing years, an uniform commendation sent up by the Potteries Schools of Design for inspection to Somerset House by the council there ; and the still more signal success which at tended their production this last year is best attested by the fact, that the awards assigned to it by the Department of Practical Art exceed the proportion obtained by any other provincial schools in the country. Most happy am I to find on this platform both the gentlemen who superintend the department of practical art—Mr. Cole and Mr. Redgrave. (Cheers.) They have both contri buted in various ways to the success and development of practical art in this country—(cheers)— and they are of all men most competent to lay down proper principles for your guidance. I learn, likewise, that two of the most year,meri torous pupils from these sch oo l s h ave, in the last b ee n elected to Government scholarships, (Loud trust this precedent may b e th e mean ; (Loud cheers.) of district, and espe cially concernedug n in men in this the pottery manufact ure , to avail themselves o inducing those yo of the advantages here offered to them other more extensively even than they have hitherto done. And a. I would most earnest ly counsel you not to be deterred THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1853. by any feeling of false shame, even if you have to come somewhat later in life to the work of instruction than others by whom you are surrounded. Multiplied expe rience in all departments of industry teaches us, that it is never too late to learn— men never .grow too old to learn a thing well—(cheers)--and there are some things which may be within our natural turn or talent which can only be mastered by patient instruction and by training. (Cheers.) In confirmation of this I believe there is reason for my stating that some of the specimens sent up to the Great Exhibition of 1851 would never ha►e made their appearance at all, if there had not been some means of education in drawing and design furnished in your schools. (Cheers.) I must leave to those more conversant with the local details and circumstances of the district than I can possibly be to explain and enforce the new organisation and development which it is now proposed to give to the entire establishment. If I un derstand it aright, a sort of hierarchy is proposed to be established, consisting of central superior schools in every district, connected with several local elementary branches. There is and has been for some time a gene ral want of regular industrial training in this country, alike in science and in art. There is no lack of inventive genius --there is an abundant supply of ener getic labour—but the exertions of both of these are sometimes desultory where they might be systematic, and scattered where they ought to be concentrated ; so that, enterprising and successful as in many respects English industry has been, and, I will thankfully add, still continues and still more promises to be, yet, in the judgment of those most competent to form an opinion on the subject, it is susceptible of a still higher develop ment and still more uniform excellence. It is intended to form a large central establishment in London for science and art under most high and most enlightened patronage—(loud cheers)—which is intended to serve as a nucleus and a pattern,for the local establishments throughout the country. (Cheers.) I refer you for particulars as to the basis on which it is pro posed to rest to the excellent report of the Royal Commissioners on the disposal of their surplus. It is hoped that the necessity of treating industrial training as a whole, both in matters of science and art, will be felt in the country as it has been in the metropolis. To take an illustration from your own district, it will only be necessary to say that an adequate knowledge of che mistry would be almost as requisite in the instruction of a person for the business of a potter as the knowledge of the art of drawing designs. It is intended, lam glad to hear, to form in the potteries a museum, easily acces sible to all the pupils in the schools, and to all the work ing men of the district, which shall contain a collection illustrative of the various processes of ceramic manufac ture, including specimens of its most admired productions. (Cheers.) Now, with reference to the immediately practi cal part of the business, I understand it is in contempla tion by the Government to devote to the establishment of schools is the pottery districts the large sum of 6001. a-year. (Cheers.) This is done in the confident hope that this liberality on the part of the Government will be responded to by corresponding exertions in the district. (Cheers.) I hope this reasonable expectation will not be disap pointed, and, if the Government thinks it a worthy object to which to devote the public money, and strives to foster and support the taste best calculated for impart ing success and vigour to an important department of the national commerce, I hope all manufacturers, and others interested in the wellbeing of this busy and popu lous district, will feel it doubly incumbent on them not to neglect the means now offered to them for keeping up and adding to its ancient credit, and for ensuring its con tinued progress and permanent welfare. (Cheers.) I will conclude this imperfect address by a few words in a dif ferent line of observation, but it is one which, before so interesting and intelligent an audience as that I see around me, I cannot wholly pass by. While I conceive we are mainly met together to promote the success of industry and the progress of art, let us not forget that there are yet higher, more essential, more per manent interests even than those to be looked after in all human training. (Cheers.) I have alluded once to the frequent metaphors drawn from the work of the pot ter made use of in Holy Writ. We are all children of the clay moulded by the Almighty hand, and modelled ac cording to the Divine likeness. The meanest and lowest amongst us may be formed into vessels of the highest honour, and may be set apart for the highest place in the paradise of our God. (Loud and long-continued cheering.) I ought to mention that my sister, the Duchess of Sutherland, who takes a warm interest in the manufactures of this district, had hoped to be pre sent this evening at your meeting, but she was sum moned to Windsor to attend her Majesty, a summons which, of course, she could not resist. (Cheers.) The business of reading and adopting the report was then proceeded with. RAILWAY RETURN . TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Miles opened, NAME OF RAILWAY. Receipts. 1853. 1852. i 1853.

LIEUTENANT HOLMAN, R.N., THE BLIND TRAVELLER. —A paragraph having appeared in a weekly periodical, published in London, wherein an allusion is made to the death of Lieutenant James Holman, of the Royal Navy, the celebrated blind traveller, we are authorised, on the part of the relatives of that fficer, to assure his numer ous friends residing in Cheltenham that there is no foun dation whatever for this statement. Letters, dated the Ist of January in the present year, are in possession of an intimate friend of Lieutenant Holman—Lieutenant General Wright, now in Cheltenham—as well as the brother, Captain William Holman, of the Royal navy, and which letters are from Boulogne-sur-Mer, in France ; and at the date alluded to Lieutenant Hol man was in health, and preparing for publication a nar rative of some of his extraordinary travels, we believe, including those in Sweden and Norway.—Cheltenham Examiner. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—A circumstance of a very extraordinary character occurred last week at the adjourned Somerset sessions, held at Taunton—namely, four generations of the same family were placed at the prisoners' bar together. The offence was stealing wood, and the parties were--an old woman, named Pole, aged 82 ; Jane Tapp, her daughter, aged 48 ; Ann Pole, her grand-daughter, aged 27 ; and a child in arms, her great grand-daughter.

The Royal Exhibition—valuable newly-invented, very small, powerful waistcoat pocket glass, the size of a walnut, to discern minute objects at a distance of from four to five miles, which is found to be invaluable, for yachting, and to sportsmen, gentlemen, and gamekeepers. Tele scopes, possessing such extraordinary power, that some 3i inches, with an extra eye piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars They supersede every other kind, and are of all sizes for the waistcoat pocket, shooting, military purposes, &c. Opera and race-course glasses with wonderful power ; a minute object can be clearly seen, from 10 to 12 miles distant. Invaluable newly-invented spectacle.—S. &B .
