The sales were 2,000 dalesEh of American at 61d. to "id. per lb. Railway doi a res Were still declining, and with very little business ag. T he rumours against various firms in the City have Enb s i ded to a great extent, and, although further dis ,,43ters may be inevitable, it would appear that the ~A 7 tl niary inconvenience resulting from the stoppages 1411 be materially felt abroad and in the colonies, and c'saibly only subsequently, in full force here. This re lilainS to be seen; but certainly, seeing the immense 121. abi lities of some of the suspended firms, it is singular that there should be so few comphints of loss on 'Change or i n private converse. There are several ship arrivals to-day, but the date of th e accounts brought is generally not so recent as those alr eady come to hand. The Corn market is higher again this morning.

A very little quantity of English Wheat was received up to our market last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, and the arrivals of all other arti cles of home produce were on a limited scale. From Ireland and Scotland, next to nothing came to hand ; while the imports from abroad were, comparatively speaking, trifling—they principally consisting of 9,696 quarters of wheat, 17,477 ditto of oats, 1,200 ditto of Indian corn, and 566 barrels of flour. To. day the re ceipts of English wheat were on the same scanty scale we have had to report for several weeks past; con sequently the show of samples—especially as a good clearance was effected on Friday—was very small. This circumstance, together with the full average attendance of both town and country buyers, caused the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce to rule very steady, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of from 3s to 4s per quarter (being a rise on Friday's figures of from is to 2s per quarter), and at which most of the supply was dis posed of. With foreign Wheat we were again well supplied ; nevertheless, the sale for that article was active, at an Improvement in value of from 2s to 3s per quarter. We may observe that the im porters met the buyers freely at that advance, at which nearly 20,00 quarters changed hands. Out of the quantity just alluded to, at least a moiety was sold for inland consumption. Notwithstanding the supply of Barley, both English and foreign, was small, the trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations, The supply of Malt was by no means large; yet the Malt trade was heavy, and, to effect sales, somewhat lower rates were submitted to by the factors. With Oats we were ♦ery scantily supplied. The best samples moved off steadily, at 6d. per quarter more money, and the value of other kinds was well supported. In Beans next to nothing was doing; but in prices we have no alteration to notice. All kinds of Peas have moved off steadily, at fully the late improvement in the currencies. Indian Corn was a slow sale; yet some of the importers held for higher rates. Flour was firm, at 2s. to 3s. per sack, and Is. to 2s. per barrel, more money.

The following is a statement of the imports of live stock into London during the past week : From whence. Beasts. Sheep. Lambs. Calves. Hamburgh A *Harlingen 2lO t Rotterdam 290 Bremen ....

This is the first time we have had to report the arrival of live stock from Portugal direct to London. The 130 head of Beasts alluded to above, arrived by the Falcao, on Wednesday, in excellent condition ; but, though received from Oporto, it is quite evident they were grazed in Spain. The dead weight of these animals has turned out miserably deficient ; and we are of opinion that the speculation has been a very unprofitable one. Most of the Oxen from Oporto had horns four feet six inches in length, and the space between their extreme points was nearly, or quite, five feet. At the outports, the arrivals from Holland and Germany have been on a very liberal scale, vis., about 1,100 Beasts, 2,200 Sheep, 100 Lambs, 200 Calves, and 120 Pigs. The principal portion of these supplies has been landed at Hull ; and a few cargoes have found their way into Scotland. To-day, we had on offer about 900 Beasts, 2,200 Sheep and Lambs, 120 Calves, and 50 Pigs, chiefly from Hol land and Germany, with a few of the former from Portugal, the latter of which remained unsold on Friday. There was a decided improvement in the demand, at higher figures. The bullock droves from our own grazing districts were considerably less in number than those which came to hand on this day se'nnight ; and their quality was ♦ery inferior, even the time of year considered. This falling off in the supply, together with the increased attendance of both town and country buyers, caused the Beef trade to rule somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of from 2d to 4d per Blbs. The highest general figure for the best Scots was 4s 8d per Sibs ; but some few Beasts produced even a trifle beyond that figure. At the close of the market a good clearance was effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about 1,500 short-horn ; from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots. There were nearly 8,000 Sheep is the market less than on Monday last; hence the Mutton trade was steady, though not to say brisk, at 2d per 8 lbs. more money. The general quality of the Sheep was by no means good. The season for Lamb having nearly closed, the Lamb trade was heavy, and the prices ruled very little above those paid for Mutton. Although the supply of Calves was largo for a Monday's market, the Veal trade was firm, at very full prices. Prime small Porkers—which were scarce—sold at an advance of 2d per *lbs., and the value of other kinds of Pork were well supported. Per Sibs. to sink the offal. s. d. to v. d.

We have been very scantily supplied with country killed Meat since Monday last, but the supply slaugh tered in London has been extensive, though of very middling quality, Prime Beef, Mutton, and Pork have sold readily, at very full prices. Otherwise, the demand has ruled extremely inactive, on easier terms. As the season is now nearly at an end, Lamb has fallen to nearly Mutton price—the very best qualities not being worth more than 5s 4d per 81bs; but really prime Pork, from its scarcity, is expected to be selling at a very high range of value during the winter. Nearly 3,000 car cases of foreign Meat have appeared on sale, and been mostly disposed of at comparatively low rates. At per stone by the Carcase. s. d. to s. d. s. d. to s. d.

Several parcels have again arrived from Holland. BOROUGH HOP MARRET. The number of pockets of new Hops received hither this season is about 1,150, chiefly from Kent. The sup ply on offer to-day was tolerably good, but the demand was in a sluggish state, on the following terms:—Sussex Pockets, 414 s to 41 12s; Weald of Kent ditto, 41 5s to 4/ 16s; Mid Kent ditto, 41 lOs to 5/ 10s. per cwt. in Old and Yearling Hops scarcely a transaction took place, although they might have been purchased at a consider able decline in value. The duty is called from 180,0001 to 185,000/. WOOL. Since Monday last the imports of Wool into London have consisted of 320 bales from Swan River, 124 ditto from Spain, 300 ditto from Hamburgh, and 300 ditto from various other quarters. By private contract the demand for nearly every description of Wool is in a sluggish state, but prices are pretty generally supported. TALLOW. Notwithstanding the accounts received this morning from St. Petersburgh are to the effect that the exports of Tallow are falling off, on a comparison with those which have already taken place this season, and the sup ply of home markets by no means good, the demand is in a very inactive state ; but the importers are not will ing sellers at any reduction in value, as an active in quiry is pretty generally expected from the fact that many of the large chandlers are short of stock. P. Y. C. on the spot is 46s 3d to 46s fid, and for delivery 45s 3d per cwt. ; Town Tallow, 47s 3d, net cash ; Rough Fat, 2s SRI per 8 lbs. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT-. These sessions, the eleventh of the present Mayoralty, commenced to-day, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Musgrove, Mr. Alderman Marshall, the Sheriff, &c. There are no less than 232 prisoners for trial, of which number .58 are from the City, 116 from Middlesex, 4 from Essex, from the Admiralty none, from Kent 11, and from Surrey 44. The grand jury having elected their chairman and been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to them. He said that from the calendar which con tained a list of the prisoners for trial at the present sessions, the names of no less than 232 pi isoners would appear, and he was fearful that that number would be considerably augmented during the progress of the labours of the grand jury. The calendar con tained a list of the various offences committed by the prisoners, and several of those offences, he regretted to say, were of violence to the person, and c u tti ng and wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. There were no less than five persons charged with manslaughter, and one of murder, in which it was suggested that the crime of murder was corn mitte d by causing poison to be taken. There were nineteen cases of larceny from the person ; there was a case of shooting at a party, or an attempt to dis charge loaded firearms, with intent to do grievous bodily injury or murder; there were also several • cases of robbery, said to be robbery with intent to murder, &c. There was a case of bigamy, which was a little peculiar in its circumstances, and to which he would refer more particularly hereafter. There were eight cases of forgery and uttering forged instruments, four cases of uttering counterfeit coin, seven charges of burglary, six of house-breaking and larceny connected therewith, and a multitude of cases of larceny, with or without violence. There were also, he was sorry to say, several cases of rape, and there was also a charge of arson—namely, setting fire to premises in order to defraud an insurance office. With respect to the charge of bigamy, it was, as he :had said before, very p ecu li a r in its circum stances ; the party charged was the female, her former husband being still alive, and from the depo sitions it appeared to be a fact established by the declaration of the party charged, as well as by the proof of the previous marriage. He adverted more particularly to this case, because he thought it probable that the party who entered into the illegal ceremony might also be called upon to answer for his part in the transaction, the female being charged with the bigamy. If it was proved that the man was a party inciting the female to commit the offence he would be subject to punishment. It was right that parties should know that such was the law in cases of bigamy. The law looked upon such a party as a principal in the second degree, aiding and abetting in the felony committed. By the statute a party so charged might be imprisoned twelve months and se veral times privately whipped. He had ad verted thus much to the case for the reasons he had stated, and also because he was sorry to say that the crime of bigamy was now of frequent occurrence. As he bad stated, there were six charges of cutting and wounding, and it was lamentable to observe that this offence was on the increase. Not a session passed without some case of a most aggravated nature being presented for the consideration of the Court. By the statute the petty jury might limit their verdict to a common assault, if the fact of the case warranted it, but such was not the province of the grand jury. There were four cases of robbery, but they did not call for any particular remark. There were five cases of man slaughter, and in one of the cases four persons would probably be included in one indictment. That was a case originating in a fight, and the charge was against four men for causing the death of a boy, by setting one boy to fight another, and supplying them with beer to excite and encourage them on. Now, to encourage a fight, and thereby cause death, would, in his judgment, render the parties inciting the fight amenable to the law on a charge of manslaughter. The case of shooting or drawing a trigger was one rather out of the ordinary course. It appeared that a loaded pistol was presented by one shop boy at another, the trigger was drawn, but, by some accident or other, the pistol did not go off. The pistol was afterwards found to be loaded. The party, it was true, might not have known that it was loaded. I t might have been loaded afterwards, and the party might not have intended to do any harm; but if it was shown clearly that such an act had been done, accompanied with extraordinary expressions, it would be the duty of the grand jury to put the case in a further course of in vestigation. With regard to the case of murder by poison, that was in some measure a case of circum stances. There were certain statements alleged to have been made by the party charged, and there would be evidence brought before them that the wife of the prisoner died from poison. In his opinion, it was a case of strong suspicion, and one which he considered the grand jury would think should be put in a course of further investigation. Tho case of robbery with menaces was a case of some peculiarity. It appeared that money had been voluntarily given by one young man to another up to a certain point, and that, when no further money could be got, threats and menaces were made to obtain it, and the party was told, that if he did not furnish it, a charge would be made against him that would end either in transportation or death. This case he had no doubt the grand jury would see the necessity of putting in a course of investigation before the petty jury. The Learned Judge having adverted to some of the other cases in the calendar, remitted the grand jury to the discharge of their duties. The remainder of the morning was occupied by the :swearing in of the petty jury, and the trial of cases of no general interest in their circumstances. THAMES.—(THIS DAY.) William Boreham was charged with violently as saulting Inspector Richardson, at the Stratford sta tion, on the Eastern Comities line. _ The inspector stated that the prisoner came up in the half-past nine o'clock train last night from Yar mouth. It is the practice on the line to collect all tickets at Stratford, and all the passengers, with the exception of the prisoner, quietly gave up theirs. He at first said he had not got one, then that he had lost it, and at last, that he had given it to another ticket collector. This was found to be false, and witness told him he must pay the fare, or leave the company's carriage. He refused to do either, and when witness laid hold of him to remove him he struck him a vio lent blow in the face, knocked him on to the plat form, and then fell upon him and kicked him severely. Two more officers came to his assistance, but the pri soner was so very violent that it was with great:diffi culty he was secured. This evidence was corroborated by Thomas Crocket, a ticket collector, who added that the pri soner kicked him and tore his coat. _ _ In his defence, the prisoner declared that he had been most grossly ill-treated. The inspector and the other officers seized him, and banged his head and body against the carriage in such a manner that all the passengers cried out shame. He (prisoner) was one mass of bruises. _ _ _ The officers were recalled and totally denied this statement. Mr. YARDLEY fined him:2os., or eight days' im prisonment. The fine was instantly paid. John Thomson, a sailor, was charged with feloni ously cutting and wounding James Dow. The prosecutor stated that last night he was in the Blue Anchor public-house, and the prisoner, whom he had never seen before, was there also. Prisoner was tipsy, and was turned out of the house. Soon aftewards witness and some friends left, and he had scarcely got outside the door when the prisoner seized him by the throat, and dashed him to the pavement with great violence. He then drew out a long knife, such as seamen carry, and stabbed him twice in the left arm. He was conveyed to the hos pital, where his wounds were dressed. This evidence being corroborated, the prisoner, who made no defence, was committed to Newgate to take his trial for feloniously wounding. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) Thomas E. Helfrick, a foreman in the employment of Messrs. Delareux, Fry, and Co., the extensive playing-card manufacturers of Bunhill-row, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers. Mr. Fry, one of the partners in the firm, said they employed a large number of foremen, whose duty it was to make up the accounts of the workmen in the several departments of the manufactory, and then re ceive the total amount from the cashier for distribu tion. Circumstances arose which caused them to suspect the prisoner, and, upon examining the books and making inquiries amongst the workmen, they found that the prisoner had, in several instances, en tered and received from the cashier as much as one fourth more than he had paid to the men for wages. So extensive had been the amount already discovered that if each of the foremen were to act in a similar manner it would cause a loss to the firm of between 3,0001. and 4,0001. He had been carrying on this system of plunder for a long time in the most systematic manner, and had gone so far as to enter the names of parties in the books who had not worked for the firm for the last four or five months. He (Mr. Fry) hoped the magistrate would consent to t r h e m e y a nd t might g te havepr prisoner n e fora short an r opportunity f time, in order hlishinge t t h h a e t r charges of embezzlement, which he had no doubt he should be able to do to a large extent. Mr. TYRWHITT remanded the prisoner tp Thursday next, next, and in reply to his s olicitor, who applied to have charge was far too s h e i r m i admitted a n t t o t h b e a a i I p , saidic attihe The prisoner was accordingly removed in the van. plon.

ROBBERY AT APOTHECARIES' lIALL.—On Satur day information was given that a chest in the large room at Apothecaries Hall was on Friday robbed of three dozen dessert knives and forks, with silver han dles, engraved with crest, " a Rhinoceros." EVENIN G, SEPTEMBER 20, 1847. !HER MAJESTY'S TOUR TO THE HIGHLANDS. (From the North British Mail.) LOCH LAGGAN, WEDNESDAY NOON. Yesterday Prince Albert went to Corryarder, and after enjoying excellent sport returned to the Lodge with five brace of ptarmigan, eight hares, and a golden plover. His Royal Highness wore a philabeg of shepherd tartan. Her Majesty and the royal children walked in the grounds during the day. In the evening a servants' ball took place at the Lodge. The people residing in the vicinity of the Loch were invited generally to attend. The Queen and the Prince graciously honoured the company with their presence. Her Majesty wore a white crape dress, and a plaid of the Macpherson t ar t an . His Royal Highness wore a Highland dress of Royal Stuart tartan. The royal couple were spectators of the ball for a considerable time; and after they had retired, the Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, the Marchioness of Douro, the Duke of Norfolk, and other members of the Court, returned to the ball room, and mingled with great affability in the dance. The festivity continued to a late hour. Prince Albert proceeds early to-morrow ',morning to Loch Lochy, where the Fairy will be in waiting to convey his Royal Highness up the Caledonian Canal. The Northern Meeting holds its annual games this week in Inverness; and as a great number of noble men and gentlemen connected with the Highlands are present, it is said that a grand reception will be given to the Prince on his arrival in the capital of the north. Several messengers have travelled between Inverness and Ardverikie during the last two days. His Royal Highness will return down the canal on Friday, and join her Majesty and the royal aquadron at Fort William. Her Majesty will leave Ardverikie about midday on Friday, and proceed direct to Fort William through Glen Spean. The Black Eagle, the Undine, and the Garland, will sail round the Mull of Cantyre to Ardrishaig on Friday, in order to be in readiness to take the Queen on board when her Majesty passes through the Crinan Canal on Satur- ' day. The royal yacht, the Fairy, and the Scourge, ' after conveying the royal party to Loch Crinan on Saturday, will move thence round the Mull to Camp belton, where, as I stated yesterday, the whole squadron will rendezvous on Saturday night. FORT WILLIAM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. Preparations are going on here for the embarkation of her Majesty on Friday. A large luggage van, drawn by four horses, and several carts loaded with trunks and boxes, arrived to-day from Ardverikie, and their contents have been conveyed on board the vessels composing the royal squadron. The towns people are also making arrangements for a demon stration on the occasion of her Majesty's de parture from the Highlands. The arches of evergreens are in course of re-erection ; and no practical efforts will be spared by the populace to demonstrate their loyal attachment to the first So vereign of the Hanoverian line who has evinced a warm admiration of the country and traditional cus toms of the Celts. The Fairy has moved up to the mouth of the canal, to be in readiness to receive Prince Albert at an early hour to-morrow morning. The magistrates, council, trades, and inhabitants generally of Inverness have resolved to walk in procession when his Royal High ness enters the town; and the county has been sum moned by the convener to meet to-morrow at twelve, for the purpose of framing an address to his Royal Highness. lam sorry to say that the weather to night is wet and stormy, and threatens to destroy the pleasure of the Prince's voyage along the Canal unless a favourable change takes place ere the morning. I mentioned in a previous letter that a steamer would sail this week for the first time between Fort William and Liverpool. The Finn MacCoul, which has plied for some years between Galloway and Lan cashire, is the vessel which has the honour of opening this new communication between the Highlands and the manufacturing districts of England. She sailed today with a cargo, the principal item of which is 70 scores of sheep, which have been purchased in Glen Spean, by Mr. Rodger, an extensive farmer in Wig tonshire. This fine flock will be fed for some time on turnips, on Mr. Rodgers's farm of Penkhill, near Gar liestown, and, when fattened, will be conveyed to Li verpool market. The Finn MacCoul has not succeeded in getting a cargo direct to Liverpool on this, her first trip; and any one who takes the trouble to travel through the extensive tract of country between Fort William and Loch Laggan, will have little difficulty in finding the real secret of the failure. Thousands of acres are lying in moss, or in a state of sheer waste, or in almost equally unprofitable pasture, which, if cultivated, would grow as luxuriant crops of turnips as any other part of Scotland. Were these wastes turned to proper account, a great proportion of the sheep reared on the mountains might be fattened in the valleys immediately adja cent, and as a necessary consequence the Highland farmers would receive an addition to their present returns equivalent to the difference between the price of lean and that of fat sheep. The in crease of money which would thus be brought into the Highlands, would be divided among labourers, farmers, and proprietors ; and a nation of consumers would also partake largely in the common benefit ; for the supply of mutton and other farm produce offered for their use would be greatly augmented. But the Highland landlords prevent all this circula tion of money and interchange of advantages. To please their fancies, the land must lie in a state of waste—the sheep must grow lean on grass and heather, ani at last be sold at lean prices to some south country farmer, who pockets as much for two or three months of turnip feeding as the Highland farmer gets for the trouble of as many years I Is there any wonder that under such a state of things there should be no circulation of money in the High lands, and that the people should be poor and famine stricken ? This ruinous system has a fatal infitience on the prosperity of the Highland towns, and no place suffers more acutely from it th an F o rt Willi am . Sit ua t e d in the centre of a vast sheep and cattle country, and commanding, by means of the Caledonian Canal and the western ocean, direct and rapid commu nication with the most secluded valleys on the one hand, and the most crowded seats of popula tion and manufactures on the other, this village might soon become a vast depot for the ex change and transmission of the produce peculiar to both. But as there is little stock prepared for the market in the neighbourhood, there is no demand for vessels to convey it, or for mer chants and agents to effect the exchange. The flocks of lean sheep reared on the surrounding hills are sent to the south in droves, and the most retired routes are preferred. No labourers are employed in reclaiming the adjoining tracts of waste land. There is, consequently, no expenditure of wages, and no de • mand for goods of local manufacture. Every channel of prosperity is cut off, and, instead of increasing daily in wealth and population, Fort William pines in the middle of an artificial wilderness. It is not even al lowed room enough for the small trade which it pos sesses. The village is the property of Sir Duncan Cameron, of Fassifern. This old gentleman went to bed one night a Whig, and rose next morning a Tory ; and because the feuars in the village could not undergo an equally rapid metamorphosis, he has subjected them to petty annoyance ever since. No new feus can be obtained for love or money. When a person wishes to build, he must expend as much in purchasing old houses as would nearly suffice to put up the new erection ; and, of course, as old houses are thus demolished, the lower classes of the population are crammed into murkier and more crowded dens. From this suffocating pro cess there is no escape ; for while Sir Dun can pinches t 1 unfortunate villagers in the centre, the Government and Lochiel enclose them on each flank. The former refuses to yield an i nch of its ground, though the necessity of a fort does not seem in these days very urgent ; and the latter cannot give ' a foot of his, because it is fettered under . a law of en tail. Both have a certain excuse, but S i r Duncan has none : and with an admirable consciousness . that . he will leave behind him no affectionate memo ri al in the hearts of the people; this provident ol d . chiefta i n . is em ployed, like Absalom of old, in erecting for himself a monument of stone. __ Let us hope that Parliament will afford a . speedy remedy for some, at least, of these manifold evils. In the meantime, the opening of a steam communication with Liverpool is an auspicious event; and if pursued with adequate perseverance, it may arouse proprietors and farmers to a more enlightened and energetic development of their resources. CALEDONIAN CANAL, THURSDAY, 0 His Royal Highness Pri nce Albert arr l ive l d A fti m ihe south-western end of Loch Lochy this morning about nine o'clock, after a drive from Ardverikie of about 30 miles. The Fairy, Robinson, was under command of Captain waiting at the end of the Loch from an early hou r, proceeded immediately after the arrival of the Prince, up to this hour, h as be along very un f avoura ble . Canal. The b we ather, __ eav showers ha ve f a ll en th e whole ery morning, accom panied m li panie 3 c i with cold blasts of wind, and very rarely interspersed with temporary gleams of sunshine. As the day advances, however, there are some symptoms of im provement, and good hopes are entertained that as soon as the Fairy , has escaped from the proverbially rainy district of Lochaber a drier atmosphere and a fairer sky will be experienced. The sail up Loch Lochy is grand and imposing in spite of the mists and the clouds with which the scenery is enveloped. The dark-blue water and varying outline of the Loch, enclosed on each side by an unbroken range of green mountains, whose steep and tempest furrowed sides are washed by a thousand cascades, are c alculated to strike the imagination under all cir cumstances, and are even invested by the showers with at tractions which in more genial weather could not have been exhibited. The tiny streamlets which oti a dry sunny day would have oozed down unseen amid the stones and brackens, are swollen • by the rains into white foaming torrents which cast an air of bewitching beauty over the unvarying surface of the hills. Few human habitations are ob servable on the sides of the Loch. Glenfintaig Cottage, a very neat and elegant country residence, occupies a fine site in the south-eastern edge of the Loch; and on the opposite side, a fine view is obtained of the glen, in which Achnacarry, the residence of Lochiel, is situated. The small inn of Letterfinley, and a few shepherds' huts, are the only other dwellings which meet the eye. But the sides of the mountains are covered with fine flocks of sheep, which find rich pasture as well as good shelter in the numerous and spacious corries. I must not indulge, however, in further descrip tions, as the steamer from Inverness cannot now be far distant, by which I expect to get these few lines forwarded to Glasgow in time for publication on Sa turday morning. I will return to the subject in a future letter. EXPECTED DEBARKATION OF THE ATtUheE.JElanchesteFrLpiEmeTsWofosoapu;day.) (From the N LATESTy ParArßaTnlgCeUdLtAhlitaSi It is now defi the Quee n s h a h n arrive at Fleetwood to-morrow (Sunday) night. She would leave Ardverikie with the two royal children yesterday afternoon, and was expected to arrive at Fort William about six o'clock. Her Majesty would embark either in the royal yacht or the Fairy, but the officers did not expect that a distance further than Lismore or Oban could be accomplished the same evening. This morning the royal party proceed to the Crinan Canal, and will move through the artificial water in the royal barge, as upon the occasion of the arrival. In the meantime, the Black Eagle and Undine steamers will have proceeded round the mull of Kintyre to await the arrival of the royal party at Lough ghilphead, on the other side of the canal, from which the Black Eagle will convey them that day as far as Campbell-town, in Argyleshire, where anchor will be cast for the night. Although her Majesty is not desirous of proceeding on Sunday, the officers are of opinion that in order to reach Fleetwood in a favour able tide, the remainder of the journey must be accomplished during that day. An official notifica tion has been received at Fleetwood that the Queen will arrive at that port at six o'clock, that being the hour of flood tide, and the royal squadron is to anchor in the bay, the Queen and her royal consort re maining on board all night. On Monday morn ing, at eight o'clock, her Majesty will land, and proceed direct to London by special train. The train is now in readiness, and consists of the royal carriage, the carriage of the Queen Dowager, and two new six-wheeled carriages, four car riage trucks, and two luggage vans, belonging to the North-Western company. The royal train will proceed from Fleetwood via Preston, Parkside, and Crewe, to Stafford, where it will leave the line of rails and pass over the new Trent Valley line, arriv ing in London about three o'clock in the afternoon. Her Majesty, it is said, will proceed thence imme diately by the South-Western line to Southampton, and reach the Isle of Wight the same evening. We are informed that the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company are providing every accommoda tion in their power for visitors at Fleetwood. A list of beds and accommodation at Fleetwood not yet taken up is made out, and on personal application at the station there, visitors will be directed where to find these places. It is expected that the Irish, Scotch, and Isle of Man steamers will make up near 250 beds for the accommodation of such parties. The royal squadron, consisting of six large steamers, on Mon day morning, after her Majesty's departure for London, will sail out of port, and it is expected will form a spectacle for the visitors second only to the sight of it on Sunday night, when entering the bay THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO LANCASHIRE. (From the Lancaster Guardian of Saturcia;) — Official intimation reached Fleetwood on Thursday, that the royal squadron might be expected to arrive in the Wyre, about six o'clock on Sunday evening. Our Fleetwood correspondent, to whom we are in debted for this intelligence, further states that her Majesty's debarkation will not take place until the following morning, when she will proceed direct to London by special train. All the steamers belonging to Fleetwood that are in port will sail to meet and accompany the royal yacht. Amongst these, by a happy coincidence, will be, " Her Majesty," and " The Prince of Wales," the former plying regularly to Ardrossan, the latter to Belfast. At a public meeting of the inhabitants of Fleetwood, on Monday last, an address to the Queen was unani mously adopted, :and Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, Bart. appointed to present it. The gentlemen deputed to accompany Sir Hesketh are the Rev. St. Vin cent Beechy ; Frederick Kemp, Esq. ; Daniel Elliot son, Esq., and James Crombleholme, Esq. The High Sheriff of the county palatine, William Gale, Esq., of Lightburne House, Ulverston, proceeded to Fleet wood on Tuesday, to attend upon her Majesty during her stay in the duchy. The preparations making by the railway com pany, and the authorities, for the reception of the illustrious visitor, are on a very comprehensive scale. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) INVERNESS, SEPT. 17. His Royal Highness Prince Albert visited our quiet little town yesterday at five o'clock .as. He was met on the north bank of the river Ness, about a mile from town, by the magistrates and the six incor porated trades, with a large body of people, all in marching order. As soon as the signal was given that he was in sight a royal salute of 21 guns was fired from cannon placed on the castle hill. The procession marched, with bands of music in front, to the town-ball, where he was presented with an address, and after visiting the castle hill he returned to Dochfour House to dine with a select party, and remain there for the night. The Northern Meeting is held here this week, in consequence of which the town is very gay. COURT CIRCULAR. AEDVEILIKIE, SEPT. 16.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by the Marquis of Abercorn, the Hon. Captain Gordon, and Mr. Anson, left Ardve rikie for Inverness this morning at seven o'clock. His Royal Highness dines and sleeps at Mr. Bail lie's of Dochfour this evening, and will join her Ma jesty on board the yacht to-morrow, at Fort William, where her Majesty, it is expected, will arrive at six o'clock p.m., from Ardverikie. The Commissioners for inquiring into the applica tion of iron in railway structures held their first meet ing at Gwydyr House on7Saturday. There were present Lord Wrottesley, Professor Willis, M.A.., Captain Henry James, R.E. George Rennie, Esq., Eaton Hodgkins, Esq., and the Secretary, Lieutenant Douglas Galton, R.E. Sir Harry Verney had an interview with Sir G. Grey on Friday, at the Home-office. ____ _ _ The Chancellor of the Exchequer left town on Sa turday for his residence, Mickleton Hall, Doncaster. Dispatches for the Governor-General of Canada and the Governors of the other North American pro vinces, also for the Governors of Ceylon and %Vest Australia, and for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial-office.

The King of Norway and Sweden has charged the Minister of Justice to draw up a Bill to authorise the admission of Jews into the kingdom of Norway, from which they are at present entirely excluded, arid to declare to what rights they are to be entitled. The Bill will be submitted to the Storthing in its next session. Another arrest, connected with the late proceeding's against MM.

A requisition having been made to Sir Harry to inspect the battalions of artillery and in fantry in the Dockyard, on Saturday afternoon ). L p crossed to Gosport with a numerous staff, and precee,:fecl to the Clarence-yard, where he was received by Captain- Superintendent Sir Edward Parr a y e , co a m n p d an th ie e d p t r h i e n oi cip t a o l officers of the establishment, and the wharf where the battalion was drawn up. The men were then put through a variety of manoeuvres, and Sir Harry expressed much satisfaction in observing so highly efficient a body of men. At the conclusion the officers and men gave him three cheers, and, attended by his staff, he left the yard. THE CRICKET STEAM-VESSEL.—We stated last week that the Admiralty had ordered the machine for testing boilers at Woolwich to be lent to Mr. Smith, to test the boilers of the ill-fated steamer Cricket. We understand that the test has been applied, and with the most satisfactory results, as affecting the manufacturer of the boilers, for it resisted a pressure of no less than 1451 b. to the square inch.

Throughout the dominions of the glorious Pius IX. nothing can equal the cou rage of the population except its admirable order. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, though an Arch-Duke of Austria, has thrown aside the Austrian cockade, and adopted the national colours. In the Austrian part of Italy, as we feared, great tumults are mo mently apprehended, especially in Milan, although garrisoned by 18,000 Austrians. It is even expected that the liberal states of Italy, and the cantons of Switzerland, will not be restrained from assisting the revolters against the Austrians. If so, the whole of foreign i g the n t yra n ts, y Venetian ran ta, o r States to take to u Italy will be pl unge d i n t o instant war, th e on ly choice being to permit th e population of Lombardy p be the gauntlet massacred byin theirtheir defence. Louis Phillippe is represented by the news from Paris as declining to interfere, although Lord Normanby has positively declared that England will not permit Austria to coerce the independent . Italy Italian States; while o th er accounts from itself state that France will con - cur with Enland Ancona and Civit a Vecchia. That g Engla n d noccupying interpose is beyond all quest i on, if we aret must o believe the announcement, to us almost incredible, even Austrian fatuity and insolenc e , th at i n eve cit o city oof every Italy, in which a National G uar d is organised, Austria is determined to have a garrison. This must bring the contest to the issue of arms, if some acci dental collision have not done so already where all parties are eager to engage. The affairs of Spain, important as they would be at any other time, are principally of consequence now, as they serve to com plicate the great contest which is raging in Italy between liberty and slavery, between the rights of separate races and the wrongs of foreign masters to whom the infamous Holy Alliance consigned them. Narvaez is said to have received un limited supplies of money from :Paris, with equally unlimited authority to dispense orders and honours, and, as the army is reported still to be under his influence, he is expected to re-establish his dictatorship as Lieutenant for Louis Phillippe, by • an armed rising. That Louis Philippe should be eager to add this crime to his long catalogue is not surprising, inasmuch as the fruits of all his previous misdeeds are escaping from him. The Salic Law may probably be re-established by the Cortes, and the female succession to Queen Isabella, by which her sister, the Duchess de Montpensier would reign, would thus be cut off. Louis Philippe is, of course, looking to the dynasty, instead of the interests and feelings of France, and although the army in the south of his dominions is reinforced under the plea of watching Italy and Spain alike, there can be no doubt as to the side on which its march will be di rected under the Citizen-King's orders. Abd-el- Kader too is giving the French further employment, and their monarch, therefore, another excuse for inaction in Italy, by effecting the conduct of Mo rocco, and threatening the most formidable war on the frontiers of Algiers. The quantity and necessity of these events leaves us but one word for comment. England cannot remain neutral in a contest in which another nation is to be, without pretence of right, utterly crushed and for ever abandoned to slavery, to the demoralization of misrule. England must sue Italy, and the more speedily and decidedly she acts, the more cheaply, easily, and effectually she will succeed. Daring is often the most solid prudence. If we speak, we must be ready to strike ; and if we strike, the blow must be such as to be felt. This is mercy as well as sense. No one will accuse the writers in the Dispatch of a love for war. We curse before hand the unprincipled villainy that forces us to think of resorting to it. But if we do fight, let it he for a good purpose. Let us strike in the lever deep enough. till the fulcrum on which it rests is the independence of all races, and the rational freedom of all people. We have seen this war of opinion coming, and no other or less cause is worth a war—can plead pallia tion for its atrocious horrors, or will carry it to a successful issue. The whole mischiefs of the despotic settlements of 1816 must be undone. A new balance of power must be erected, and its basis must be the right of every people to rule its own land. All compromise of this will leave the seed of further strife ; this only can be the final adjustment of Europe. Independence in Spain, Italy, Germany— possibly, if Russian or Prussian despotism be mad enough to come to the rescue of Austrian crime and folly, even in Poland. A great, a fearful, an awful era is approaching. God carry Britain through it with integrity, courage, and honour ! Weekly Dispatch. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, SEPT. 17 Transactions in foreign wools have been on a. very moderate scale during the past week, prices being stationary. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, SEPT. 17. We cannot notice any alteration in this branch of business since our last report ; the late failures have, if possible, induced a greater degree of caution on the part of buyers. LEEDS.—At the Cloth-halls there has been less business done both on Saturday and Tuesday, then has been known for the last few weeks. The heavy failures which have lately taken place in London have had the effect of preventing speculation for the winter demand. Prices still remain steady, and the stocks unusually low for the season. In the warehouses there has been rather more doing ; many coati try drapers have been in the town purchasing their winter stocks, and they have operated more freely than for some time past. HECKMONDIIIIKE BLANKET MARKET, TRIIRSDAT, SEPT. 16.—The attendance of buyers on Monday was better than it has been for the last few market days, and more business transacted, but to-day's market was flat. BRADFORD MAXIM; THURSDAY.—There is no alteration either in demand or price for combing wool. The staplers are unable to replace their stocks at lower rates, and therefore hold for prices firmly, and the spinners, with present prospects, only pur chase for immediate consumption. There being less produce in clothing wools, these are in good request- Owing to the export houses doing more business, there has been somewhat of an increase in demand', for yarns, but higherion l already rates arien machinery,no usett otgenerally improver ti l t o h b e t p a h i r n oi c e ue d rs ... s of labour .
