They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the orininal by the closest observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painfld operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr. Iloward's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo mical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible.

Scotchmen are often laughed at for the pride they take in regiments composed of their own coun trymen. And while their vanity has sometimes led them too far, it will be denied by none that the Highland corps have splendidly sustained the mili tary renown of the land whence their ranks have ever been filled. The tartan has fluttered in India, Egypt, Spain, Belgium, and the Crimea ; and wherever the men who wore it have gone they have covered themselves with glory. Our atten tion has again bean particularly directed to one of these gallant bands ; and, while we would with hold the laurel from none of the heroes now sus- taming British rule in India, we cannot refrain from particularly noticing the regiment whose name stands at the bead of this article. Havelock and his Highlanders rivet the attention of all who seek in our columns the tale of that fearful strife iu Hindostan, on whose results are staked the glory and permanence of our empire. We will not speak of their recent deeds ; these are in the minds of all men ; we would simply sketch their story from the tune of their embodiment till the present crisis. It was the elder Pitt who first directed the valour of the Scottish Celt from making fruitless assaults on the House of Hanover, to achieving for it some of its proudest triumphs. To this fact he alluded in the House of Commons on the 14th of January, 176 G :—" I have no local attachments. It is in different to me whether a man was rocked in his cradle on this or that side of the Tweed. I sought for merit wherever it was to be found. It is my boast that I was the first minister who looked for it and found it in the mountains of the North. I called it forth, and drew into your service a hardy and intrepid race of men. . . . These men in the last war were brought to combat on your side. They served with fidelity, as they fought with val our, and conquered for you in every part of the world." Not till long after the era of this speech, however, did the 78th, or Ross-shire High landers came into regimental being. It was when Republican France had set the world on fire, and Britain had bared the sword to oppose her, that this corps was first raised. Some where about the year. 1793, warrants were issued for raising fresh Highland levies. At that date Kenneth, the last Earl of Seaforth, and the grand son of au in veterate Jacobite, still held the ancestral estates in Ross-shire and Lowis. He was beloved in the Mackenzie country. A Mackenzie h mself, ho had avoided turning off his clan to make room for black-faced sheep and south country drovers. In one thing only did ho differ from his fathers— he was a loyal subject of the new dynasty ; and when the warrants were issued, he did his utmost for the monarch to whom he had sworn allegiance. His vast influence was speedily manifested. Two mouths and nine days after he was empowered, be had raised a regiment, nine hundred and seventy of whom were Highlanders. one hundred and twen ty-nine Lowlaa lets, nine English, and five Irish. The 78th were first sent to Guernsey. In 1797 they went to India, and on the 24th of September, 1803, they contributed largely to the Assaye victory, to the budding glory of Arthur Wellesley, and to the foundation of that vast dominion, which, after the lapse of half a century, they are so nobly agonising to sustain. A few years later, we find them in Italy, conspicuous at the battle of Maida, on which occasion the French had 7,600 men, and the British only 3,819. Again, in 1811 we find them wresting Java from the Dutch, at that mo ment under the rule of Napoleon. We believe also, that they were in Brussels when the pacifies tion of Europe was achieved. They came, how ever, from India to Scotland about the year 1840, on which obcasion they figured, to the great delight of all boys young and old, with a very beautiful ele phant which always marched at thoirhead. They re • mained, nevertheless, but a very sh ort time at home, being sent again to ndia, their colonel of that date happening to own land in Ceylon, which he could look after more profitably by having his regiment some where on the neighbouring continent. They have thus been absent from Britain for at least twenty years at a stretch, duringwhich long period they have done duty in Arabia as well as Hindostan. We need not remind our readers of their brilliant services in the late war with Persia, which country they only left to meet the villains of Bengal. They have been embodied for sixty years, and we believe we are not far wrong in sayiu2 that fifty nut of the sixty have been passed under the glowing skies of the East. That great injustice has been done this gallant regiment cannot be doubted. Their story is one of almost perpetual exile. Their time is, however, coming ; and when they again reach Britain, they will wear honours on their colours which shall se cure for them that attention which has hitherto been lavished on more favoured but not more noble battalions. " Cuidich an Rich," is their motto • and as in times p as t, so will it still be their glory', to make their battle cry—" Help the King." Suc cess to them and every brave heart which at this moment is ready to bleed, a sacrifice to the glory and the integrity of that empire of which our own province forms no unimportant portion, and to which we are daily drawn more closely by fell dis aster as well as glorious victory.—Toronto Globe. in my possession ! It is really frightful to hear witnesses talk in such a way, and I declare again that they deserve to be punished. From what they say the judges may form an opinion as to the falsehoods that are told hers l" The trial was proceeding when the renort was sent off. THE LEMAIRE TRIAL. The Court of Assizes of the Aisne was occupied on Saturday, part of Sunday, and yesterday, in receiving evidence in support of the charge of mur der brought against H. Villet and Jean Villet, and also in support of some of the charges of rob bery brought against Hugot, Lemaire, Villet, and others of the prisoners. As to the mur der of a mau named Chretien, it was postively sated by Hugot that the elder Villet had offered him I,ooofr. to commit it, but that he had refused ; and it was stated by other witnesses that the two Villets had been in the house of the de ceased just before be was found dead, and that death had been caused by violent pressure of the nose and mouth. As to the robberies, they were alleged to have been committed at Ha,rbonnieres, Marcelclave, and Dazenescourt, and the details days, presented no interest. The most remarkable fea ture in the proceedings was, as on previous the cleverness with which the elder Villet tried to explain away all the circumstances which told against him ; the vehemence with which he de nounced the witnesses ; and the bitter animosity be manif es t e d aga i ns t lugot and Lemaire. Oa one or two occasions, he solemnly called on the court to punish the witnesses who deposed against him, because their evidence was false, and their manner of giving it improper. On other occasions he made set speeches, which he evidently consi dered very telling. "Ah gentitmen !" said be, in one of them, " Lemaire has only made what he calls revelations against me, in order that I may have t o follow him to the scaffold to which he is sure to go! He does not wish to have the shame and the sorrow of dying alone ! If, what I cannot be lieve, this court of jussice should condemn me on the word of such a man, I will die with honour and with glory !" And then turning to Lemaire, he continued :—" I cannot prevent you from say ing what you will, but I know why; you say it, you that ti mayyyou i it is to prol ong th e present proceedings in order that have willn a ot eh a ti g n a c in e of escape. the pr But isou l d t o e o l r l left half open--that no more cords will be thrown over the wall t o y ou ! No ! no ! The bird is caught, and the c age i s at present solid !" On another occasion he said :—" As to Hugot, he has Villet s u h t al olf comea n ass to as t s h in e ! a rage against me whi c h i s not that of a simple sCa li ff e o 1 d say w s it t h o mehhim self, m sel a f l , ef ‘ u V t or, and not content with that he tries to drag there my wife, my son, my daughter, everybody belong ing to me. lam astonished that you, gentlemen, do not understand that ! I murder Chretien ! why should I ? I did Rot want his money, and I could have made him do for me whatever I liked. Besides, I placed a cross on his grave, and it cost me 45f. ! Believe me, gentlemen, it is only the canaille who accuse me ! The principal witness against me is Victor Chretien, and if you only knew what a mass of vice he is I I verily believe that for a thousand francs he would murder all the village, and that for twenty s , tus, ay, for a glass of brandy, he would have murdered poor Chretien, his own relative !" One of the robberies (many of them were very petty) in which Villet was alleged to . have parti c i pa t e d was o f a wa i stcoat, an d a witness identified one produced as that stolen from him. On this Villet jumped up, and exclaimed, " That waistcoat his ! Why, I can prove that it has a brother and that they both descend from a frock coat whi ch 1 lai purchased many years ago in the Pa s Royal at Paris !" This strange way of speak ing caused a laugh, but Villet t . d " con trine , For making such a statement _ . as he has done, the wit ness deserves to punish h . m, be punished, and I beg of you to r t epea.

(Prom the Report of the Registrar-General.) 1 The returns now exhibit that increase in the mor tality which usually begins in the 11th month of the year. In the present instance the increase is con siderable, the deaths registered in London, which in the two preceding weeks were 988 and 1,047, having risen in the week that ended last Saturday (Nov. 7) to 1,166. In the 10 years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,039. But population has increased, and the same rate of mortality would have pro duced last week 1,143 deaths. The actual number is slightly in excess of the estimated number—a re sult which is not so favourable as those that have been recently obtained. The births returned in the same week exceed the deaths by 516. In comparing the deaths now returned with those of the former week, and distributing the ages at deaths in five vicenniads, it will appear that the in crease above mentioned occurred in every period except that which extends from 40 to 60 years. Among persons 60 years and upwards the deaths in crewed from 184 to 259. From diseases of the respiratory organs (exclusive of hooping cough and phthisis) the number of persons wlio died at all ages in the previous week was 190 ; last week it was 261. Influenza showed itself, and, though only four cases are referred to it in the tables. part of the increase found under some other complaint is probably due to its influence. The deaths from diseases of the digestive organs rose from 55 to 79. Under other heads the fluctuations are unimportant. Three children and two adults (the latter in the Small-pox Hospital) died of small pox: l'wenty-thiee'childi.en died of - niettiles '; and five of these diel in the sub-district of Whitecross street. In that sub-district 9 out of the 18 deaths returned were from me.isles, scarlatina, and fever. Diarrhea continues to decline, and the deaths from it last week were only 27. There were two deaths from cholera ; a widow, aged 66 years, died on the 4th of Nov., at 117, Gravel-lane, Aldgate, of " cholera, typhoid fever (3 days) ;" and a mau, aged 38 years, died on the 6th of Nov., at 2, Gaul ston-street, lilThitechapel, of "cholera, after 14 hours' illness." It deserves to be noticed that four children died from want of breastmilk in St. George's Workhouse, Little Chelsea, —three on the Ist inst., one on the 2d. Three of these infants were foundlings. The total number of deaths from want of breastmilk or inanition in London was 13. Six nonagenarians died in the week ; the oldest of these was a widow, aged 9G years, who died at 7, Little Denmark street, St. Giles ; she received the Queen's Bounty, and in part supported herself, till within a year of her death, by needlework. • Last week the births of 859 boys and 823 girls, —in all 1,682 children,—were registered iu Lon don. In the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56 the average number was 1,537. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.748 in. The mean reading on Saturday was 30.072 in. The mean temperature of the week was 53.8 deg., which is 7.9 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was considerably above the average throughout the week, and on Tuesday the excess was so much as 12.7 degrees. The highest reading of the thermometer in the shaae occurred on Tuesday, and was 64.3 deg. ; the lowest was 43.9 deg. on the previous day. The mean daily range of the week was 10.1 deg. The greatest range occurred on Monday and was 15.8 deg. The mean dew point temperature was 52.1 deg., and the difference between this and the mean air temperature wai only 1.7 deg. The temperature of the water of the Thames ranged from 50.2 deg. to 54.7 deg. At the beginning of the week the wind was in the south-east ; on the last four days it blew generally from the north-east. Rain fell to the amount of 0.49 in., nearly all of which fell on Wednesday.

Visitors now find themselves at liberty to pass from the entrance hall into the Granville Library, and onwards through the manuscript department into the King's Library, on leaving which they find open to them a staircase, hitherto closed, by which they can pass up immedi ately to the galleries of natural history. But the pur pose of this newly-conceded privilege has not been to lay open these noble rooms, containing the best portions of our national library, merely for the con venience of the public. Throughout the entire length of these rooms are arranged table cases, on which are set out such choice and curious speci mens of block-books, manuscripts, and examples of typographical art as have been thought most cal culated to instruct and interest the visitor. Against each work thus exhibited is placed a short account, describing the point of interest for which it has been selected. In the Granville Library, the first of these rooms entered from the hall, are laid out the most remarkable specimens of block-books, i.e., books printed from carved blocks of wood on one side of the leaf only, which are thought to be the work of the card-makers in the 15th century, and executed in Holland, Flanders, and Germany, before and during the practice of the art with moveable metal types. From the Granville Library the visitor passes into the manuscript department, where be will find exhibited aselection of manuscripts remarkable either for their antiquity, their beauty, or some touching point of interest—of which, to quote an example, we mention the autograph will of Mary Queen of Scots. In passing up the King's Library from the Manu script Room, the visitor will find laid out iu the six table cases which occupy the length of the' library to his left a range of open volumes, expressly selected , to show the entire history of printing from its earliest period downwards. In the six table cases on the opposits side of the King's Library he will find ex hibited choice specimens of sumptuous printing, of book illumination, of beautiful illustrations to books, of remarkable examples of costly and elegant binding, curiosities, and autographs. These rooms are to continue open to visitors ou the usual days of admission to the Museum.. COMMERCIAL MATTERS IN NEW YORK.--The private letters from New York by the Asia are all of a better tone than the newspaper accounts. Owing to the influx of specie the banks were believed to con template resumption at a very early date. Annexed is an extract from a letter from one of the soundest and least sangnme merchants in the country :—." The specie now on the way will not make much, as. sterling is very scarce, and no good bills can be had. under 105 to 106, and I expect next week they v ri'l be 108 Specie is worth only about per cent. pvemium. I am happy to say, with the exception of tb-s dry goods interest, there is a better feeling in all branches of trade. The wholesale grocers are doing mare business, and the banks discount more freely, but, as a matter of course, are very careful what paper thvey take. If nothing very bad comes from England .I think the worst is over. Should we receive withi n the next month, half a million sterling in gold from , Europe we shall have to ship it back again in Janus .ry." [PRIaII -vv.) T i'E PASSPORT SES'T.I4I.II. (From the Times.) Our contemporary the Constitutionnel hs ac , tually expr_ssed its will n.gne,zs to accept a " serions. discussion" on the Passport system. We sincerely trust this offer implies some resolution to place the system on its own merits, and to leave it to stand or fall by the conclusions arrived at. With the hope of such a result we return to the subject even in the midst of more momentous and engrossing topics, for although, as our contemporary very truly remarks, the vexation of English travellers is not quite so important a matter as the Indian mutinies, it is worth a little trouble to convict a system which does more to embarrass the inter course of two great and friendly countries than any other incident affecting the com munica . ions between them. M. Cauvain, who undertakes the defence of the Passport system, and who characterises cur objec tions to it as "calumnies" against the customs of a foreign State, is not content with affirming that the system, after all, really prevails in England as well as in France, but roundly declare:that, in more respects than one, it operates as a positive protection to people on their travels. The former of these assertions will astonish most of our readers, whether British or foreign, and especially when we observe that M. Cauvain's authority for his state ment is drawn exclusively from our own columns. A few days ago a correspondent called cur atten tion to thefact that, according to certain regulations, a stranger arriving at Folkestone was bound under a penalty of 40s. to present himself at an olßce in the Custom-house, produce his passport, and receive a certificate of his arrival. How far the regulations are enforced we jilo n t p;=!;&t1. to know, but this much we yentaii:e to' say foreigner travelling in England would ever think of assertini , on his return that' he had experienced the least delay, extortion, or annoyance in respect of his passport from the first moment of ks visit to the last. We put the case in this broad light to bring tie question at once to issue ; but, assuming even that tue rule referred to is rigidly executed, • what possible analogy, we ask, can be established between such a provision and the elaborate system of passports prevailing on the continent ? In Eng land, at the most, a foreigner (not an Englishman) may be required, on entering an office which he must needs visit under any circumstances, to regis ter his name. There ends the whole regulation. There is no system about the proceeding, no machi nery for conducting it, and, above all, no penalty worth mentioning for leaving things undone alto gether. The traveller cannot be detained, at the one single point of detention, more than a minute or two, and, if he objects even to this delay, he may snap his fingers and go off straight with no other liability than a flue of a couple of sovereigns. With this arrangement let AI. Cauvain com pare the "manners and customs" which he stands up to defend. A system of the most extensive and complex description, embracing every depart ment, every prefecture, every town, and every port, is maintained at a large cost, and with an enormous staff of • officers, for the simple purpose of tracking like a thief every person who stirs from his home. Not only Englishmen, but French men too, ou their own native soil, are compelled, before they can travel a dozen miles, to procure per mission to do so by personal application, and to carry about with them, and produce upon every de mand, an official warrant entitling them to be where they are. This warrant must be inspected, exa mined, revised, exchanged, and passed through every conceivable process of verification and regis tration, with a perpetual infliction of small expensa and an interminable tax upon patience. To crown all, supposing that through ignorance the ceremony, or any incident of it, has been omitted, or imper fectly transacted, or the warrant itself by any acci dent lost or mislaid, the consequences become equi valent to those of actual felony for the time being. An unfortunate traveller with no passport or an in- formal one is impounded forthwith, is forbidden to pursue his journey no matter what may be the urgency of the case, and may be very thankful if the surveillance under which he is placed falls something short of positive imprisonment. So much for the "complete analogy" subsisting be tween English and continental institutions in this respect. M. Cauvain, however, takes higher ground than the mere to quoque argument when he asserts of the Passports system that it is a real comfort and conve nience to travellers. Did he ever find a traveller who thought so I Certainly, if Frenchmen choose to put themselves through these " simple formali ties," it is not for us to cavil at their fancy ; but,. as we presumed to know something of Engli*h opinion, our contemporary will perhaps accept our word for the fact, that we are utterly insensible to the benefit designed, and wish for•nothiug more heartily than that the whole systein should be exploded to-morrow. If there be any advautages attending it we surrender them all without a moment's hesitation. An Englishman is perfectly satisfied of his own " identity" without getting it " established" by a certificate of police ; he can find the way to his own Ambassador without the sanction of a constable, and provide himself with money for his journey apart from the kind offices of either mayor or gendarmes. In so far as the system is kept up for our benefit we can confidently assure M. Cauvain that the labour is utterly thrown' away, and that it may be abolished this very instant not only without remonstrance on our part, but with the greatest possible satisfaction to all classes in the habit of visiting their continental neighbours. The matter is really not quite so trivial as it appears. To be sure, the extortions of the system are on a petty scale and the annoyances not often of a very afflicting kind, but they are sufficient altogether to keep some persons away from France who would very gladly go there, and, what is of far more consequence, the perpetual irritation, though slight perhaps in itself, inevitably operates to the prejudice of the views with which an Englishman might otherwise return from a country in many respects better managed than his own. Perhaps the people of other nations do not suffer quite so much as we do, but there is nothing so disagreeable to an Englishman as small interruptions for small demands. It is as much as ever we can do to en dure a turnpike ;in fact, in London we have abolished them, and in Wales they pulled them down. A man spending a thousand a-year without stint will go half-a-mile round to avoid a bridge where he would be stopped for a halfpenny. We do not like to be interfered with at all ; still less do we like to be guaged and measured like a bale of goods, stamped with a brand, and then put in circulation, to be tested and branded over again at the next police-office. We do this kind of thing in our prisons, because there is no avoiding it, but when we visit a foreign country prepare to admire it and to enjoy ourielves, we do not like to be handled as if we were in a convict settlement! If all this were necessary either from geograph - cal configuration, or frontier difficulties, or any other incident of continental position, we could only submit with the best grace possible but we main tain that it is not so, and we appeal to every day's experience in proof of our words. There is not a police-officer on the continent who would place a moment's reliance on the passport system as an effective instrument of detection or security. A conspirator denounced by half-a-dozen Govern ments, and hunted by as many police agents, can notoriously travel through. territory after territory , without experiencing the least interruption. Per sons really exposed to suspicion are sever at fault. They know well enough every form and feature of the requisitions established, and are only too ready .to comply with them in the minutest particular as the price of escape. To them the Passport system is really a protection, for;it:provides them with what they would otherwise lack—a certificate of charac ter ; nor does *signify a sou whether this charic ter is true - or false so long as it is "regular." The true operation of the Passport system consists in the easy rehabilitation of rogues. When characters are sold by the frailc on Government guarantee, any man with silvecin hi4pocket can in a moment become as respeetable as his neighbour. A piece of stamped paper covet g all, and the end of the whole machinery is a morallmasquerade, in which domi noes are provided at two shillings each and the dis guise made current:by authority. Pawn OF GOLD.—Thd'quot;d the short exchange on tiqnofgold atParis is ) a L b o o n u d t on 7 i l s 'e 27. n 3 l 2 lls T p P e r r em l/ ium ete n tling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 d. pei ounce for standard gold it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent, dearer in Paris than in London. 6 By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per U. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore nearly 1-10zh per cent dearer in London than in Hamburg. Tne course o! exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is variously quoted at from par up to 106 per cent., the latter being fo: first•class paper only. There is, consequently, at pre sent no adva n t age i n sen di ng go ld from this country, as compared with drawing bills from America. THE MEN 01? KENT. At the dinner of the Nonington and Wingham Agricultural Association last week, in Kent, Sir Brook Brydget, M.P., presided, and amongst the company were Earl Cowper and Mr. IV. Deedes. The last named gentleman, who is colonel of the Kent Rifles, alluded in his speech to the importance of a militia force, observing :—" One of the first acts of my public life—l am afraid to say how many years ago, but I know more than forty —was to con nect myself with this constitutional force of the kingdom. I believed at the time I did so, and I have thought ever since in continuing my position, that I was adopting a course in strict accordance with the constitution of the country ; and I was desirous of keeping up all the institutions of the country which are worth preserving. In so long a period of time I have seen the ups and downs of a military life, as fer as the yeomanry is concerned ; I have known it in the highest state of prosperity and in a state of depression. lam quite aware that I stand on delicate ground in .alludiug to this mat ter in this neighbourhood. ; but this much I can say without fear of offending the feelings of any man connected with the corps, that the loss of one of the best of the officers, and the almost entire loss of one of the best of my troops, was the source of the greatest unhappiness to me in connec tion with the subject that I ever felt Now with regard to the future. At this moment the regular force of the "Ithigaisiti is required a manner al most unprecedented to be sent out of the country upon foreign and important service ; the militia has therefore been called out, and rightly so, that it may stand in the room of that regular force. In a country like England, with such immense depen dencies and colonies, there must always be the fear of a sudden outbreak among some of them ; and it would be the worst of policy and wisdom for the land to be left without proper defence when any emergency arises. Well, then, if the regular force has properly been sent out of the country, and if the militia has properly been called upon to supply their place, I say, and I have the authority of the majority f my brother officers' agreement with me, the yeomanry ought not to bo behindhand— all should come forward for the purpose of bearing a part in the force. I know that lam speaking the sentiments of my brother officers, of the non-com missioned officers, and privates, when I say that we should hail the completion of the ranks to the proper strength with the greatest delight ; and we are only waiting to put the shilling into the hand of any williug man. Thus much for the yeo manry." With regard to India and the atrocities perpetrated by the mutineers, Mr. Deedes said-- "I do not ask—God forbid I should—for indiscri minate vengeance, or vengeance at all. That is a word that should never come from the mouth of a Christian ; but I do ask for retributive justice—l do ask that no consideration shall be shown to men who, by their cruelties, have placed themselves be yond the pale of mercy. They have no right to ex pect it, after what they have done. They have cast the die, and must abide the consequences. lam sure the noble address of General Wilson to the soldiers before Delhi would come home to them all; and let me say that I have a deep interest in the matter, for a son of mine has been serving there for four months. (Loud applause.) I well know the interest with which he would read that address ; but I do not believe that a thought ever en tered the heart of any of them to take ven geance upon helpless women and children, because those fiends in human shape had wreaked their vengeance in such a manner (Applause.) These are• not the sentiments that actuate the hearts of a British soldier ; and I am confident that, when full details arrive of the assault at Delhi, it will be found that nothing has been committed of which we need be ashamed, except that which can never be avoided, when we take into consideration the weakness of human nature under certain circum stances. I have heard with deep regret—though I do not believe it—that a civil servant has been sent to supersede one of the military officers engaged in active wkofare ; and it• is further stated that h e has ordered the release of a number of prisoners. Ido not believe it ; but if it is so, then the sooner such a state of things is put an end to the better. No thing can possibly prosper if, at such a crisis as the present, there is to be a conflict between the civil and military powers." At the Ashford Agricultural Society's meetiuk, a day or two afterwards, Sir .Norton Knatehbull pre sided. Mr. Deedes and Mr. Hugessen M.P., were amen the company. Th e Ch a i rman , i n propos i ng the Army and Navy," said, Three years ago, when I filled this seat, we were at war with Russia. We issued from that war, if not with glory, yet, children e n murdered, tortured, of w women with the help of our b rave allies, with victory. Not long afte r th e restoration of peace there came from the East sounds of wailing and woe—cries of m t ien horrors t ruthlesslyoo terrible v a t to e re d , of late. Gentlemen, such doings as these demand a stern retaliation. (Loud cheers.) By this Ido not mean veneeance. (Hear. hear.) My friend on the left (Mr. Deedes) has a child iu India ; I have a child in India ; you, if you are men, if you are Englishmen, if you are Christian men, you all have children in India. (Prolonged cheering.) W 5 desire to, execute justice upon the guilty. The Apostle says, " Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord ;" but iu what may be called the same chapter ho goes on to say that man has the right to wield the sword of justice. (Cheers.) Let, then, no man presume to step between the British soldier and that justice, in the name of which he will strike home to avenge an insulted country. (Loud cheers.) SPAT& OF ALTE: MANCHESTER, Nov. 10. The market continues inactive. Spinners are free sellers, but have great difficulty in finding cus tomers, no reasonable concession in price being sufficient to induce business. The same descrip tion of the market applies to cloths, but in all branches of trade business is in some measure checked by the caution necessary to determine to whom credit can be safely extended. Only one failure, and that not worth naming, has been men tioned this morning, and the losses sustained here by the large failures recently announced in London, Glasgow, and elsewhere aro mostly by houses, it is reported, to whom they will occasion little more than temporary inconvenience. The curtailment of production by a resort to short time is spoken of as extending in all directions, and the long period of full work the operatives have had will enable them better to bear it than in some past times. It is only when mills are closed altogether that any thing like considerable suffering is felt. Cases of thiskind, unfortunately, are very numerous, though bearing but a small proper-6cm to those in which short time has been adopted A proposition made at Glasgow that a deputation should go to London to induce a suspension of cash payments by the bank met with no countenance here from either of the commercial chambers, and telegraphic news from Glasgow this afternoon that Irving v n w g hi reportch charac terised : No " t two banks were being run upon there h as occa sioned no alarm fromeerataibnelly, iefntohradturing they w so i m ll e bo w a h b iah able to meet the difficulty.

LEEDS, Nov. 10. No improvement is noted in the cloth-halls this morning. A very limited amount of business has been done. There is a disposition on all sides to contract operations until the present monetary and commercial crisis is passed. HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 10. The market remains in the same quiet state as last week. Great caution is displayed by pur chasers, and little is changing hands, either in the plain or fancy tra'le. At the sam e time prices do not decline seriously, and hopes of better markets at an early period are sanguinely entertained. Wools manifest a tendency to decline, especially Scotch wools. , THE ART TREASURES EXIIIBITION CLOCK .— The clock that did duty at the Palace at Old Trafford, an d u pon the face of whnh Mr. Deane ingeniously o n substituted "Art Treasures" for the usual n umerals, has been, we gly d esid r e tleoaprno'ssseotsditt,onisliassmßeumrednettot o C i l t u be ttE who strongly and of her very frequent visits.

It is vor.h talking and bolStine- of, -toe, '• for Chelsea-bridge when finished, as it wilt I7e-nort . spring, will be beyond all doubt the hand,omest . structure of, its kind in the metropolis. It is a ) long time since its erection was resolved on. The • new park : at Batter Sea had been receiving its full meed •of Government -suriport for some years, and: , the scheme was, therefore in the last stage pf otlicial' abeyance, and likely to beconie extinct at any moe ment, when it was resolved to erect a new bridge to communicate with the new park, and afford the public an accommodation which had long bc en wan:ed at that part of the river. Mr. Page, the ' , government engineer, was accordingly instructed to prepare drawings and plans for a wooden susp .u..•ion bridge with brink towers, which he made and sub- - mated •to the consideration of the Metropolitan Improvement Commissioners. Afterwards, there were designs prepare Hot. a bridge of 7 arches faced with stone, and for one in cast • iron of 5 arches; bat, ultimately, an iron suspension - bridge was agreed to, and the designs for the present structure determined on. We think none ' will be inclined to cavil at the choice of the commis- sioners. The new bridge is not only spacious and ample in its accommodation for traffic, but in de=ign the most elegant, in general effect the &nos t light and. ornamental, of all the bridges, whether suspended or otherwise, yet erected across the Thames. .It is the kind of bridge, in fact, that seems to require bright summer skies and fertile landscapes to do justice to 'its graceful outlines. More than enough has been. erected to enable the visitor to judge of the general. tone of the design ; but we need scarcely point out that the lightest and most decorative portions will' .be the last affixed, and that the beautiful lanterns - and minarets which will surmount both towers and add so much to the general effect are still to be erected. The design of the whole is very novel. Two towers:of cast iron columnar framing support the c'iains and -arches, or rather openings. These towors• • aril - .cased in elalleo&riateep,l-caslirege,of epee- . e lattice work, like ilh - TEaiie - hi - ea% f; +I housee r . ,d,= and surmounted with the pointed minarets and lanterns we have already mentioned, and which give to the whole an inexpressively light and grace ful effect. The cornice of the towers, the parapet of the bridge, and the light rail which divides. the footpath from the road, are all of the same pleasing • ornamental kind, and in keeping with the 'wain. features of the design. At each end of the bridge, however, . are two octagon structures, on Which (probably because of their intended use, for they are meant for toll-houses) none look with favour, and. which in reality jar rather with the rest of the struc ture. In spite of terra-cotta pinnacles and little spires, they persist in retaining the strongest re- semblance to pepper-castors of mediaeval form. So much for the general aspect of the bridge ; for its position we need only say that it stretches from the Middlesex side fromthe centre of that debateatle land where Chelsea ends and Pimlico begins to Bat tersea on the Surrey side, where it overlooks the ne w park on the right, and the ground where the Crystal Palace Company are making believe to build a " west end" station on the left. Between the river walls at Trinity high-water line the total length of the bridge is 704 ft. of which the centre arch or opening is 333 ft., and the two side openings 166 k ft. each. The width of the bridge for traffic, is 47 ft. —that is, a carriage way of 32 ft. and two footways of 7 ft. 6 in. each. The piers upon which the towers are built and suspension chains hung are each 88 ft. in length and 19 in width, and terminate in curved cutwatsrs 7 ft. 6 in. above the level of high-water mark. The foundations of these piers are precisely similar to those which are at present being formed for the arches of new Westminster-bridge, and dis pense entirely with massive and costly piers of masonry and also with coffer dams. They consist of timber piles of unusual size, driven deep into the London clay far below the bed of the river at inter vals of 3 ft. over the entire area of the piers, and cut off at low water level. The external surface of the piers is formed by cast iron main piles of 12 in. diameter and 27 ft. long, driven 20 ft. below low water mark, and between three cast iron plates are driven so as to protect on all sides the bearing piles by a metallic casing. The space thus enclosed- is then dredged to the hard stratum of gravel above the clay, filled in with solid concrete, and the whole secured by wrought iron tie bars. OR the bearing pile is a flooring of solid stone bedded on the con crete ; all the caisson above low water is lined with brickwork, and the cutwaters at each end where ex posed to constant shocks from drifting vessels are built of solid brickwork. The cast iron columnar towers which rise • on these piers to support the chains are strongly braced both vertically and hori zontally. Their present height is about 60 ft: from high-water mark, though when enti re ly fi n i s h e d with lanterns and pinnacles they will rise to at least 100 ft. These towers exclusive of the ornamental casing, weigh 250 tons, arid they have from" the weight of the bridge itself a pressure of 11 tons, and when leaded a pressure of 3i tons per square inch. Only two suspension chains are used, each of which from mowing to mooring is 920 ft. long and weighs about 350 tons. These chains are technically di vided into three portions—viz., the mooring chain, or the parts at each: end which are buried in solid masonry ; the back chains, or lengths which stretch from the ground to the towers ; and the main chains, which cross the centre from tower to tower. The chain is made in long links, and each link is form el of 7 and 8 bars alternately. The bars are 16 ft. and 16 ft. 9 in. long, 8 in. deep, and nearly an inch in thickness. Each of these bars was tested before it was allowed to be fixed to the enormous pressure of 13i tons the square inch, or upwards of of 100 tons the bar, and no 'bar was used the per manent extension of which exceeded 1-400th of an inch to the foot. There are 56 links of 6,7, and 8 bars each employed in the mooring -chains at Chel sea ; 96 links of 7 and 8 bars each in the back chains, and 92 links of 7 and 8 bars each in the main chains, giving 244 links of 1,936 bars in all. The sectional area of the chains at the centre of the bridge is 212 square in., which gradually in creases in proportion to the strain towards the " towers, where it is 226, The suspension rods pass ing from the chains to the roadway of the bridges are 2 in. in diameter and placed 8 ft. apart. They have a joint at each extremity, the upper one allow ing a motion parallel with the chains and the lower a transverse motion. At the centre opening of the bridge the roadway is 24 ft. 6 in. above high water mark, and above low water 41 ft. The whole road way has a rise of 18 in. from the land moorings to the centre. Two wrought iron longitudinal lattice girders extend the entire length of the bridge, and are secured to the suspension rods to which the transverse girders supporting the carriage way are also bolted. These girders are 87 in number. They are formed of boiler-plate strengthened with angle iron, and are 32 ft. long by 2 ft. 8 in. deep, and weigh 32 cwt. each. Between these girders pass wrought iron bearings, to which are bolted plates of iron of the same material which forms the road way. On the upper surface these plates are covered with bitumen, over which are laid compressed slabs of asphalte and cork cuttings. This forms the bed for a wood pavement of blocks of ship oak, which are again coated over with asphalte and the paved surface of the road completed. This pavement is probably the lightest and most durable that has ever yet been used for such a purpose. The footways are formed of the same wood pave ment set in bitumen ; and next to the footways on each side of the bridge a tramway has been laid on oak beams covered with plate iron for such heavy traffic as may use the bridge. Such is a brief general outline of the proportions of the new bridge at Chelsea, all the details of which have been admirably carried out by the contractors, Messrs. Young and Co. In a brief period it will be opened for traffic. In point of usefulness and ac commodation few of our metropolitan bridges are superior to it ; in architectural beauty it will, be. yond all doubt, rank first. Yet the whole cost of this bridge up to the present moment has only amounted to 88,0001., or 21. 2s. sd. the square foot of su r face. oeiinstance, o.
