AT a MEETING of Manufacturers in Gla..gow, held in the Star Hotel, on Tuesday, the 31st August, 1547, JAMES ANDERSON, F.sq., in the Chair, The following Resolutions were moved, and unanimously carried : 1. " That in the opinion of this Meeting, the attempt at present Made sy certain parties in London, to compel Manufacturers and Wholesale Warehousemen to give 37 inches to the yard in the sale of their goods, ought to be res isted, as such a practice, by introducing another standard than that which is recognised by law, is calculated to create diversity, and , t herefore, uncertainty of measure, and be e cause of much inconvenience and loss to the trade." 2. " That this Meeting resolve to adhere to the legal standard of 36 inches, and to recommend the same for general adoption." 3. " That the above Resolutions be printed and circulated, and alio advertised in the " London Times," " 31orning Chronicle," Man chester Guardian," and in the " North British Mail," and that the following gentlemen be appointed a Committee to see this carried into effect :—J.

After an extraordinary alternation of circum stances most adverse to the pacification of Spain, that noble kingdom seems to be emerging from a century of disasters. One movement on the part of the Salamanca Cabinet promises to stabilitate the Government, to tranquillise the provinces, and to consolidate the Constitution. One movement !—and upon that one movement the new Administration has adventured. Farewell to the wily domination of the Tuileries—to the diplomatic thimble-rigging of M. BRESSON—to the unprincipled devices of M. GUIZOT—to the ruthless connivance of General NARVARZ—to the unnatural schemes of CHRISTINA —to the avaricious anticipations of Louis Paiurrs! The sixth paragraph in the Ministerial programme, published on the 3d inst. in the semi-official organ , the Especlador—that paragraph which said " The, illustrious Duh e DE LA VITTORIA to be nominated Sena tor in recognition of his eminent services and his high virtues, and in consequence to be allowed to return to Spain"—has been more than realised. In what manner this has been accomplished was formally announced in The Sun of yesterday evening. EsPairrEgo has been recalled to Madrid, and nomi- nated Captain• General of the Spanish forces. This it is which will in all human like lihood tend to stabilitate the Government, to tranquillise the provinces, and to consolidate the Constitution . ; for the return of the Duke DE LA Vlcroaix has been happily preceded by an amnesty such as must already have removed a multitude of difficulties from the pathway of the Administration of which General ESPARTERO will prove the de fender. Could his Majesty the KING of the FRENCH have foreseen the occurrences which have recently trans pired in Madritl, he would most certainly have hesi tated before driving ISABELLA to the last extremities. Rather than become the indirect means of the resto ration of ESPARTEIIO to authority, he would doubt less have delayed they marriage of the Duke DE AIONTPENSIFR. The fatal die has been cast, how ever—there is no escape:from the consequences. Four years have elapsed since the Regent of Spain sought a refuge in the metropolis of England—for four years he has remained in an honourable seclusion in a modest residence in Regent's-park—for four years he has sustained the sorrows of banishMent without perilling his character upon a hazard, or blemishing his reputation by a conspiracy. That interval of probation has terminated, and he is summoned again to the command of the Spanish army by a voluntary decree of his S OVEREIGN . Th ere i s a mora l i n this which will not be overlooked by the future historian, and which cannot but be recognised even by con temporaries. Never, perhaps, was there a greater necessity for the elevation of a soldier of distinguished courage and ability to the head of the military affairs of the Peninsula. Queen ISAUELIA has perceived this ne• cessity betimes, and she has selected a man o f a ll o thers the most peculiarly suited to th e emergency. ESPARTERO was the legal I rotector of her M os t Catholic MAJESTY du rin g the most critical p er i o d o f her nonage—it is fitting that he should be her De fender now that she is married, and in the full exer cise of her royal prerogatives. Besides this, IsA- BELLA. is every day becoming more pow erful even in the perils of her position. The flagrant crim inalit y with which she has been treated by CHRISTINA and Louis PHILIPPE, have aroused against her more for midable antagonists the indignation of many millions. Her domestic isolation has strengthened her cause by securing the symp a thi es o f her ; people. Her courage in spurning the int er f erence of NARVAEZ has arouse d the admiration even of the most inert and phleg matic. The clemency which has been evinced in the generous amnesty printed in the Gaceta of the 3d instant has imparted a prestige to the Government of SALAMANCA, of which it may almost be considered as the inaugurative act. And although that amnesty can scarcely elicit an enthusiasm com parable to what was enkindled throughout the pope. lation of the 'Papal States by a somewhat similar pro ceeding, it is RI-possible but that the patriotism of ti e o n n of that t he act is most the Spaniards must be excit!dw a h co upled with the r,s;cal and re eiev patriotic of their great captains. Beyond this the popularity which General ESPARTERO acquired when in the undisputed exercise of his military and admi nistrative genius, has become marvellously enhanced by the respect inspired by his conduct and his virtues during a protracted and unmerited exile. From a consideration of all these things it would be frivolous to deny that a glorious opportunity is at this moment afforded to ISABELLA, to her Ministerial advisers, and above all to the Duke DE LA VICTORIA, to extricate their country from all those enormous dangers which have hitherto impended over it, and which have until now only continued to darken and accumulate. That great things have yet to be achieved before Spain can be restored to any thing like happiness and prosperity is undeniable. But the opportunity for their achievement is at length presented. With numerous and remarkable deficien cies, the Cabinet of SALAMANCA is not without the capacity to co-operate with ISABELLA and ESPARTERO in vindicating the nationality of the kingiom, and in developing its vast resources. SALAMANCA himself, although the Presse has petulantly; stigmatised him as " a fox in lamb's attire," is enterprising as a finan cier, and is consequently well calculated to foster the deteriorated revenues to an approximation towards their original competence. His experience in stock jobbing cannot but prove advantageous to the national treasury, while it is anything but prejudicial to his own individual interests. PATRICIO DE LA Esco- SURA from his former occupations as a journalist, and as a subordinate of several former officials, will carry the advantage of practice in political handicraft and of familiarity with the popular sentiments to the Administration of the Interior, Ros DE OLesto may likewise carry into the direction of commerce some of that tact for strategy, and some of those lessons of combined audacity and prudence which he has acquired in his previous capacity as a soldier. FERNANDO DR CORDOVA, again, as Minister of War, will derive authority from the fame and ex perience from the career of his memorable and re nowned brother. Added to all this, will be the name of ESPAATERO, as Captain. General of the Army, and the name of ESPARTERO is itself " a tower of strength." That we are not frivolously sanguine as to the future of the Salamanca Cabinet is certain, from the fact that we argue mainly from what it has already accom plished, or—which amounts to the same thing—from what has already been accomplished since its inaugu ration—since the dismissal of the Pacheco Ministry and the rejection of the Narvaez Ministry. The publication of the amnesty, and the recal of Esralt- TER°, are fruits which show that the tree cannot be withered or unproductive. Grievously as the French Government has been worsted in Italy, and precarious as its influence is in Greece, Portugal, and Switzerland, the paramount anxiety and discomfiture of M. GUIZOT and his crowned accomplice will now be in the Court and metropolis of Spain. How docile were the affairs of that country but a few months ago!! How obstinate and perverse have they not become since ! The intrigues which opened amidst sunshine and fandan goes are beginning already to close amidst darkness and —possibly—the Dance of Death. After all, the principal difficulty in the Spanish Government is in the ill-assorted marriage of Queen ISABELLA. That marriage, however, may be nullified so soon as the Afrancesadoes have been annihilated. The Ministry of Madrid know tolerably well how to propitiate the Sovereign PONTIFF; and already their liberative proceedings in regard to the amnesty has shown that they are not altogether indisposed to arouse the sym pathies of his HoLusEss. A divorce for her Most Catholic MAJESTY may be the recompense awarded by Pits IX. for the generous course entered upon by her advisers. And we may repose with secu rity under the conviction that the name of ESPARTERO, the Duke de la Victoria, will not sound as harshly in the ears of Pius as it did in those of his predecessor GREGORY ! The election for the Sixteen Representative Peers of Scotland has been brought to a conclusion, and we regret to say that the pressing claims of the Earl of DUNDONALD have been disregarded. The Scottish nobility have not availed themselves of the opportu nity that was afforded to them of securing the Parlia mentary services of that esteemed and gallant Earl, of repairing, so far as lay within their power, the wrongs and injuries under which one of the most distinguished members of their own body was so long a sufferer, and proving that they believed their ancient and honourable order to be, indeed, without stain or reproach. This untoward result may, to a certain extent, be ascribed to the manner in which the proceedings are conducted. The election taking place of the sixteen Peers, " simul ac semel," private arrangements are made, by which a list is agreed upon by some of the magnates, which is supported by all their power and influence, many of the less influential electors will gladly support the nominees of the more powerful, in order to obtain admission for one or two of their own particular friends into the number selected by the secret conclave, or with the hope of doing so on some future occasion. In fact, the real contest takes place long before the no minal day of election on which the arrangements previously entered into are carried into execution, with as little prospect of any deviation therefrom taking place as there is of the rejection of the house - ist of directors of the Bank of England or Eas e India Company being set aside, or of an individua proprietor, whose name was not included therein, being elected despite of the determined opposition o the framers of that house list. The numbers polled for the successful candidates will clearly establish the fact of this coalition. Five of the sixteen had each 54 votes ; five had each 53 ; two had .50, while the remainder had respectively 56, 55, 51, and 49. It thus appears that there was a difference of seven votes only between the most favoured and the least popular of the number. It is not our desire or intention to say one word in dispa ragement of any of the Noble Lords selected by their brother peers, but we may say that there is not a single one of the number with whom the veteran might not have been put in competition ; and that if their respective claims were submitted to a more extended constituency—to the suffrages of any considerable number of high-minded and enlightened persons, uninfluenced by private motives or private friendship—an overwhelming majority would be found to record their votes in favour of the hero whose name will descend to posterity as well on one of the brightest as on one of the darkest pages of the national history. Yes, the Earl of DIJNDONALD will be re garded in future ages as one of th a t ill ustr i ous b an d w ho, by their brilliant achievements, their daring ex ploits, their unflinching bravery, that might be lo o k e d upon as the offspring of recklessness but for its suc cessful results, combining the sober calculations of the philosopher with the valour of the knight errant, maintained their country's honour, under the most arduous circumstances, and added additional triumphs to the national flag; while at the same time his unmerited persecutions, his unrequited services, and, above all, the deep injustice inflicted on him, under the colour of law, will remain an indelible stain on the British nation. Like MILTIADLS of old' his name will at the same time indicate the glory and the shame of his country. The Gallant Earl, in his address to his brother Peers, which we alluded to last week, seems to have anticipated the result of the election, and to have un derstood the cause to which it might be ascribed. Ile says, " I feel th a t if suc h p ersona l cons iderations could j▪ ustifymyoffering myself to the notice of your Lordships, further perseverance ?alder the circumstances of secret electoral arrangements unfavourable to me, must de mand explanation." li e th en d eta il e d t h e manner i▪ n which his Parliamentary services might be most valuable to the British nati on . Th e vast importance of keeping our navy in th e highest state of efficiency i s now well understood. It is well known that the best way to avoid war, t o preserve the peace and tranquillity of the world, is to be ever in a state of readiness and preparation for any alternative. " Nunquanz non paratus" should ever be the national motto. If this was necessary, even in periods of the greatest quietness, when no threatening cloud lowered in the political horizon, when no indications of future difficulties could be discovered by the most astute and closest observer, how much more essential is it at the pre. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1847. sent time, when the state of our foreign relations are in so precarious and unsatisfactory a condition as is at present the case—when the Spanish, the Por tuguese, the Italian questions may each and all furnish provocations for hostilities, that could not be evaded or overlooked without a stain on the British s honour and the most serious injury to the British interests ? Lord DUNDONALD would bring to the consideration of the causes that have impaired, and still diminish, the efficiency of the naval service, and of the means by which its energies might most effectually be increased and directed, a professional knowledge ac quired during a life of extraordinary adventure and enterprise devoted to his country. Thirty-six years since he furnished secret war plans to the then Prince Regent of the greatest magnitude and importance, but which, owing to political and other causes, did not until recently obtain the attention of which they were deserving; indeed, until the January of the present year they were not reported on. With the chivalrous and disinterested feeling by which a British officer should be actuated he fur nished these plans gratuitously, and with out stipulating for any reward or recompense for the labour and expenditure applied in maturing and bringing them forward. He desired to be en abled in , the Senate to introduce the various measures for the improvement of our national de fences, and to obtain the attentive and dispassionate consideration which his position as a Member of the Upper House would insure. The Scottish Peers have neglected the opportunity of benefiting their country and doing honour to themselves by placing him in that position. We trust, however, that a remedy will be ap plied, and that the appeal of the veteran will be re sponded to from a still higher quarter, and that our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN, the fountain of honour, may add the honours of the British Peerage to those hereditary honours in the sister kingdom which have descended to the Gallant Earl through a long line of noble progenitors. In the Roman States nothing was spoken of but a circular emanating from the Government, and ad dressed to all the commanders of the Roman garri sons. This document contains precise instructions as to the conduct to be adopted in case of a foreign in vasion. The commanders are ordered to drive back foreign troops to any point whatever of the territory. If they are themselves obliged to give way, they are not to retire but foot by foot, bringing with them the friends of the present regime, the civil volunteers, the bishops, and the archives of the Government. Any body of troops receiving reinforcements i 3 at once to resume the offensive. At Rome the civic guard con tinues to be admirable for its devotedness and con duct. The news received from Calabria represent the state of the province as more and more alarming for the King of NAPLES. The forces of the insurgents are every day increasing. They are obtaining recruits not only from the ranks of the people, but from the highest classes of society. Those forces already form a little army of 2,700 men, of which 700 are cavalry. The insurgents have 17 pieces of cannon, which are carried on the backs of mules. The Augsburg Gazelle has the following from Rome, dated the 28thult. :—" The Government has received from the Cabinet of Vienna an answer to the protest of Cardinal CIACCIII. It is said that the Austrian Cabinet expresses regret for the occupation of Ferrara, but maintains its right to have a garrison there.—The brother of Cardinal FERRETTI has not, it is said, succeeded at Naples in negotiating a loan with M. DE ROTHSCHILD.—MINARDI arrived here yeiterday, and was imprisoned in the fortress of St. Angelo." Madrid papers of the 4th have arrived. The Gageta publishes the following decree, ap pointing ESPARTERO Captain• General of the Army, and Senator of the kingdom : " ROYAL DECREE. " Home-office. " In the exercise of the prerogative granted to me by the 14th and 15th articles of the constitution, and with the advice of my Council of Ministers, I hereby name Don Baldomero Espartero, Duke of Victory and Morella, Captain-General of the Army, Senator of the kingdom. " Given at the Palace this 3d of September, 1847. " Signed by the Royal hand. " (Countersigned) 1 " PATRICIO DE LA ESCOSURA, " Minister of the Interior." It is impossible to describe the intense joy which the publication of this decree excited in all but the Afrancesadoes, " the parties whose hearts," says the Eco del Comercio," are at Paris, and who are en gaged in conspiracies against the institutions of the country and the throne of ISABELLA." In announc ing the publication of this decree, the Eco del Co mercio headed it in large letters, as follows : " Long live ISABEL IL ! Spaniards will read the first royal decree published in the Gazette of this day, and cannot do less than exclaim, Long live the constitutional QUEEN Long live the angelic ISABELLA ! Long live the generous genius who will cause in her kingdom the happiness of Spa niards !' The emotion that we feel prevents us from saying more !" The same number of the Gageta contains a cir cular from the Minister of the Interior to the poli tical chiefs setting forth that the QUEEN has autho rised the Council of Ministers to prohibit, under heavy penalties, the printing and publication of any writing referring to the private life of the QUEEN, to her marriage, or to her Royal Consort. They are consequently required to see that the newspapers do not treat on such subjects. The KING has not visited Madrid for some days past, but remains more retired than ever at the Pardo. The enthusiastic expressions of gratitude to the QUEEN in which the Progressista papers indulge in commenting on the amnesty, must be moat gratifying to the feelings of her MAJESTY. " There are no longer proscribed men," says the Espectador " There are no longer proscribed men ! The gates of the country have been at length opened alike to all her children. The magnanimous Isabella has thrown a veil over the offences of all. Disloyal Spaniards, the real enemies of the throne and the Queen, hitherto prevented the expression of the generous expansion of her heart ; and the dungeons were filled with the innocent, the presidios with the loyal, and the seat% fold crowded with victims." " When the QUEEN signed the decree of amnesty, " says the Correo, "she exclaimed, I never signed a decree with more pleasure, and never did a Ministry propose any measure more in harmony with my own sentiments. ' " The Eco del Comercio adds to the ac count given by the Correo that the QUEEN said, " Thank GOD, they have understood my heart, " and looked happier than she had appeart d for a long time. NARVAEZ had not yet formally resigned his ap pointment of Ambassador to France; VENTURA DE LA VEGA, the QUEEN'S private Secretary, will, it is said, be his successor. The Gaceta officially announces the appointment of General MANUEL nr, LA CONCHA, Marquis of Duero, to the Captain-Generalship of Catalonia. He left M a d r id on t h e 3 3 . Previous to his departure the QUEEN, as a mark of her special favour, presented him with the finest horse in the royal stables. The adhesion of CONCH A to the new Cabinet is considered as most important. BENAVIDES will, it is said, go as Ambassador to Naples.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Duc DE BROGLIE is to:leave Paris for London on Sunday. The National has the following on the affairs of Spain : " The first act of this Ministry is a very compre hensive amnesty. All the ancient senators are re cognised. Egpartero may, if he pleases, return to Madrid to-morrow, and re-assume all his titles and dignities. Even the Carlists are not excepted; only they are interdicted from residing in either of the four Basque Provinces. The Duke de Frias and M. Sotomayor have left Bayonne for Madrid. Narvaes remains there until further orders, and all the neces sary means of making a coup de main with Use gar rison have been sent to him from Paris. The reac tion party sees that it can rely only upon violence, and appears to be fully decided to employ it. But, will it succeed? This is at least doubtful, and if it fails, the way will be open for the execution of the plans already conceived. A Constituent Cortes will be convoked, and will be called upon to solve three important questions, viz. —first, a divorce of the I gum from the husband imposed upon her by France—secondly, a new law of succession to the Crown—thirdly, important modifications in the con stitution. There can be no doubt that the Duchess de Montpensier, having married a foreign Prince, will, in conformity with the ancient laws of Spain, be declared to have forfeited all right to the Crown. All these plans are known at Paris, and Christina drives as far as she can irritation into vengeance. She considers the declaration of the forfeiture of the Duchess de Mont pensier as a cause of war. The Chef de Famille, who in the face of Europe has entered into engagements so solemn, cannot sustain this outrage upon his race without drawing the sword. In less than a year a marriage will have been broken, the Infanta sacri ficed, and all the magnificent hopes that gilded the horison of the dynastic policy, entirely dissipated ! This is a degree of insolence too audacious to be en dured without a general conflagration. In the eyes of Queen Christina, it would be a base and cowardly abdication. While the mother is thus exerting all her energies, the daughter is abandoning herself to all the joys of emancipation. That futurity which Christina views as being charged with storms, Isa bella embellishes with the sweetest dreams. The walls of her palace resound with songs of joy and with festive gladness; the antique Spanish etiquette flies away in the presence of those light women who preceded our innocent Princess in the paths of easy amours—and that solemn solitude into which the old monarchy was wont to envelop itself is converted into a brilliant boudoir, in which Isabella listens, tete-a•tete, to the councils of her seventeen years." The Constitutionnel also comments on Spanish af fairs, and notwithstanding the sneers of the Presse, speaks of the amnesty as of a measure moral, politic, and wisely reasoned. It says— " The Ileraldo looks on the decree of amnesty as exceedingly ridiculous ; we can only judge of it at a distance, but it would rather appear to us moral, politic, and wisely reasoned. In France, at least, we are partial to amnesties, and generally speaking we have never seen that they have produced ill results. The real causes of troubles and serious perils for Spain are to be found neither in the old Esparterist party nor the Carlist party, of which the powerless bands may certainly lay waste some isolated points of the frontier provinces, but will never raise up Spain. The danger is altogether in the famous act of which the Isturitz Ministry and our Cabinet were so proud —the double marriage. What they said ought to pacify Spain and Europe, do away with the Pyre nees, perpetuate the reigning dynasty at Madrid, and assure the happiness of the young Queen, has produced precisely contrary effects." According to the Union )lfonarchique, an ordons nance appointing M. Guizor President of the Council, will appear forthwith. The opposition of his colleagues was directed not to his appointment to the Presidency, but to his claim as President to the exclusive superintendence of the affairs of Algeria, for which colony the Duc VAUMALE is to leave Paris next week. His Royal Highness, the new Governor- General, will have no sinecure if the following intel ligence, which is published in the Journal des Dahats, should prove correct : "We are assured that the Government yesterday received the news that Abd-el-Kader had possessed himself of the town of Taza, in Morocco, and would march on Fez. Taza is half-way between the Algerian frontier and Fez. It has a population of from 6,000 to 8,000 souls. It is situated at the southern extremity of one of the last ridges of the Rif, in a tolerably strong position, and is surrounded by an old wall, half Moorish half Portuguese ' flanked by square towers. These fortifications are falling in ruins in all parts. The streets are tortuous and very narrow; the town is watered by numerous fountains, supplied by the sources from the mountains, and the waters of which are subsequently made to fertilise vast gardens." The Courrier du Bas Rhin gives an account of a reform banquet which was held at Strasburgh, and which was attended by 700 persons. The toast of the " Revolution of 1789" excited the greatest enthu siasm, as did those of the " Sovereignty of the People," " the Probity of Public Functionaries," and " the Future of France." The health of the KING was not toasted. The omission is significant. Fifty other banquets of a similar character are to be held in the provinces during the recess. We have elsewhere stated the circumstances at tending the revolution in Lucca. The movement in Italy is becoming general, and there is little doubt but that Naples will also join it. The events in Italy are sources of the profoundest disquiet to the KING of the FRENCIi and his advisers. The National says— " Our last accounts lead.us to hope that a new territory is about to be conquered by liberal ideas. The excitement which existed in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies had become general, and the intelligent, enlightened, active population had become unanimous in their enthusiasm for the policy inaugurated at Rome. A movement was every day expected in Naples, and it appears certain that such a movement would embrace the entire population of the Two Sicilies. This incident has produced a profound im pression on the Royal Family here, as well as the Cabinet. It is feared that Austria, seeing her prey about to escape her, may determine to adopt violent measu r e s. They fear that they may be obliged to interfere. It is known that England has already prepared to restrain or to precipitate the crisis, ac cording as it may serve her interests or gratify her passions. English emissaries and English gold are met in all directions, and English ships are seen at Ancona and at Palermo. The hand so frequently grasped in friendship, but now no longer offered to Prance, found in every direction, prepared and armed is and the words so frequently repeated during the cordial understanding are now recalled to mind—. England is the only Government which destroys ru moured in Paris that the Bth day of Sep dylntas was dynasties.

OPENING HER MAJESTY'S LETTERS.---One Of the persons employed by the Southampton postmaster to take the Isle of Wight mails from the steamer to the office has been suspended. He says he found a letter addressed to her Majesty, from Osborne, open on board the steamer. How the mail. bag, the pouch in it, and the letter, all came open, some think the lad must know. Of the four letters reported to have been received in Scotland that had been opened and resealed, nothing is known at present. BRIGHTON AND ITS RAILWAY.—The appearance of the town on approach, instead of being injured by the railway, as was asserted would be the case, is immensely improved. The effect of the curved viaduct for the Lewes line, with its twenty seven lofty arches thre ailing the Downs, wiih the clustering houses seen behind, is exceedingly striking—in some points of view even mag nificent.— The Builder. A gun for the purpose of projecting harpoons into whales has been invented in America; and also a bomb lance, which, on being fired into a whale, explodes and kilts the animal. Mr. 'William Cotton, who has for years presided at the Ilford Bench of Magistrates, will be put in nomi nation for the vacant chairmanship of the Essex Quarter Sessions. An editor on the Missouri, in setting forth the claims of a candidale for state of states that, among other qualifications, he is a high•pressure democrat. If elected, he will g o teeth and toe -nails, neck and heels, head and ears, shouldersh and backbone, body and soul, for his party." The Bath General Hospital and the Bath United Hospital have each a legacy of 1,0001. by the will of the late Mrs. Griffith of L) ncombe and Wiscombe, Somer set, subject to the life interest of her daughter, who en joys the whole of her estates. FATAL ACCIDENT AT B L ACKYRIARS-BRIDGE.— Yesterday a fatal accident occurred off the Surrey side of Blackiriars-bridge to a boy named John Tomlinson, whose parents reside in Cornwell-road, Lambeth. The de ceased and several companions were playing on the logs of timber moored off the steps on the Surrey side of Blackfriars-bridge, two of which separated, and he sud denly disappeared. The timbers closed over him, and he never came to the surface again. All efforts to recover the body were useless.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was flat. Sales 3.000 balel=, including 400 to 500 for export, without alteration in prices. Railway shares were very quiet, and there was no disposition to buy or sell. It is stated in the Liverpool advices that the high price of money, the dullness of trade at Manchester, and the numerous failures, keep down the cotton market, but we feel rather surprised that prices have so long been maintained. The stock is 395,440 bales, against 731,050 bales at this time last year. The features in the Bank of England statement of liabilities and assets for the week to the 4th inst. are these : _ _ Note- , issued £22,396,845 Decrease 169,055 Rest, increase 302,390 Public deposits Increase 528,964 Other deposits, decrease Seven day and other bills, increase 53,001 Government Securities, decrease ... 75,000 Other securities, increase Notes reserved, decrease Bullion . Decrease 180,745 Active circulation 18,207,015 Decrease 28.840 The items above given appear at first sight as those presented on former occasions, to be somewhat inexplic able, because, although the Bank had greatly extended its advances,: its active circulation of notes payable on demand was not quite so large, nor would even the extra amount of bullion paid out account for the facilities afforded by the Bank. The Public Deposits would, it is presumed, give 528,0001., the notes reserved 140,0001., and the Government Securities and Seven-day and other bills, the remaining sums needed to make the additional advances, amounting to 796,932/., upon hills of exchange, &c. The account altogether shows the Bank to have ample resources, and such as will probably come into fuller play after the dividends are paid. There was an improvement yesterday afternoon in the rates of exchange upon Paris, Antwerp, and Am sterdam, while upon Hamburgh the quotations were fully supported. The core trade is still agitated by failures both here and in the sister kingdoms, but other branches of trade are going on tolerably, all things considered. There is a statement abroad of an eminent discount house having been forged upon. The tunds are depressed again to day, but very little has been done either in sales or purchases. Consols are marked 86i to 87 for present transfer, and 87+ to j for October. Exchequer-bills have declined to 6s. and 3s. premium. The New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. are 884 to 89, and the Three per Cents. 87k, with the divi dend for money. The Foreign securities are drooping. Spanish Actives realise 21 to 21%, and the Three per Cents. 301 to Portuguese Four per Cents. have been at 25i Mexican Bonds have realised 191, and Brazilian Smal 85.
