TO THE ELECTORS OF EXCHANGE WARD. GENTLEMEN, THE same old-fashioned, earnest, and (as I hope) con sistent Tory who entered your service three years ago, I have now, in eiving an account of my Stewardship, nothing to regret, because my small duty has been dis charged faithfully, and in some degree fruitfully ;—no thing to explain, for wh - ..t I think, 1 always say, and do, and am ready ,to maintain;—oohing to solicit, except that you will find a worthier yerre - s - efitative ; and, above all things, nothing to conc ,asit is the main purpose of this address to prove which I publish early that you may have time to act upon it. It may be said that the occasion dees not require the d..claration which I am about to make, but I cannot think anything unnecessary that promotes honesty. I would not willingly receive a vote given in any ignorance of the views which it tended to support. Holding fast then the political faith I have just indi cated ;—a faith which even its enemies respect, for " it is • founded on greet principles, and noble instincts; it sym pathizes with the lowly ; it looks up," always and every where, "to the Most High ;" so thinking, and humbly desirous to act, I of course see little to approve of in the policy of what is called a Conservative Government. But in that little I am bound to include a late much-can vassed measure, as to which it is probably my misfortune to differ from a large majority of your body. I mean the increased grant to iaynooth, in the propriety of which I entirely concurred. Nay, I would yet go further in the same direction, earnestly hoping soon to see a proper provi sion made out of the public revenue for the Roman Catholic olergy of Ireland. A more steadfast Protestant than my self does not live, but I cannot think it any part of my own religion to depress and degrade that of a very large proportion of my Fellow-christians. Believing all other means to be inadequate, I want to see the Irish peasantry first humanized, and then instructed by a well-educated, well-paid, and respectable priesthood of their own, as sured that then only, and with (what the same means will influence) some sense of the duties of property on the part of their Absentee Landlords, they will become indus trious, successful, and happy. Such, gentlemen, are the views which, however un suited, generally, to the objec's of a municipal election, I have thought it my duty, for a reason already mentioned, to submit to you. They would, no doubt, in the present state of public opinion, disqualify me for the office of your Representative, if I were desirous of resuming it, which, for other reasons, I am not. But thus parting, it will • • surely be without diminution of our mutual respect that you will now proceed to a better choice, and that I, even under the great pain of differing from friends, have openly avowed what I couscietitiously believe to be true. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, JOHN NORTH. Exchange-alley, 10th Oct. 1845. NOTICE TO INVENTORS. Office for Patents of Inventions and Registrations of D,signs, 14, Lincoln's Inn Fields.

LIVERPOOL DISPENSARIES HE Committee of the Liverpool Dispensaries beg 1. most earnestly to lay before the Clergy and Minis ters of Religion of the town, and the Public generally, the exhausted state of the Funds of these old and valua ble Institutions. The deficit at the close of the financial year will exceed £lOOO, and unless an immediate increase be made to the subscriptions and donations, the Commit tee will be under the reluctant, but absolute, necessity of submitting to the Governors, at the nest annual meeting, the propriety of closing either the North or South Dis pensary ; and as there can be no doubt but that very ca lamitous effects would be cons cent on such a step, it is sincerely hoped the preseneappeal will be answered in such a manner as to prevegt so painful an alternative. On behalf,ethe General Committee, JONATHAN BROOKS, President. Dispensaries' Office, 1, Fenwick-street, Oct. 10, 1845.

The supply of English Wheat by land carriage samples from the near counties was moderate, and met a free sale at fully 2s per quitter of this day se'nnigbt; free Foreign realized a similar im provement ; very little bonded Wheat was offered for sale andheld exorbitantly high, in the business done,au advance of 3s. to 4s was obtained. Fine Barley is in request, and we raise our quotations 2s. per quarter, inferior and grinding Is. per quarter. Beam are unaltered, also maple peas, dun are Is. and white 2s. dearer. Oats are good in demand and sell freely at about Is. and bonded 2s. per quarter over last Monday's prices. Flour has advanced 4s.per rack. SMITHFIELD MARKET-YESTERDAY, The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, fresh up this morning, were again extensive; but, generally speaking, of middling quality. For the finest lots, &c., the demand was steady, at fully last weeks quotations—viz., from 3s. I od. ta 4s. per Bibs :—but the middling and inferior breeds were a slow in quiry, at barely stationary prices. From the northern counties we received 1,600 short hcrns ; from the eastern districts, 300 Scots, homebreds, and short horns : from the western and midland counties, 509 Herefords, Devons, runts, &c„ from < ther parts of England 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 90 Scots ; and from Ireland, 100 beasts. The numbers of sheep were but moderate, The best half. breds sold steadily; with other breeds the trade was inadiva In prices we can notice no alteration. For calves, the numbers of which were by no means large, we had a slow sale at Friday's currencies. Pigs were in good request, and prices were well snpported. PRICES OF STOCKS, &C.-YESTERDAY. The Funds have been rather more buoyant to-day, with a pair business doing. The dividends to-morrow will assist the mar ket. Consols are 98k to 983 for transfer, to-morrow being the sett►ing day. New 33 per rents are par to and the 3 per Cent Reduced Annuities, g7i to 973. Bank Stock has been firm at 208. Exchequer Bills have realized 51 to 53 premium. There is some activity in the Foreign Stock market, but Span ish are weak again. the 5 per Cents being 263 to 273, and the New 3 per Cents about 373. Peruvian are about 373. Mexican Active Bonds have realised 313 ; and the Deferred 163 ; Colom bian are 173. Brazil stock is worth 563 ; Equador Bonds are 43 ; Belgian 41 per Cents 100, and Dutch 23 per Cents 603 to 61. The 4 per Cents are 95 to 94i. LONDON SHARE MARKET-YESTERDAY. The market for railway shares has been much quieter to-day on account of the holiday at Liverpool on Saturday. Among the new issues, Western of Canada are about 4 to 44. premium ; Exeter, Dorchester, and Weymouth, ; Direct Birmingham and Leicester, 14 to 2, &c. ; North Kent are 14 to 2; South Wales, 44 to 4; Great Western, 82; Brighton. 19k to 194 ; Birmingham, 118 to 119 ; South Western, 374 ; London and York, 31 to 44 ; and Cambridge and Lincoln, 4 4 1 to 44 prem ; East Indian are 44 to 44 prem.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. 13. The demand for Cotton to-day has somewhat revived, and we can report upon 4000 bales having been sold, with a somewhat livelier fteling about the market. Prices are without a change. Holders sturdily refuse to listen to any further concession. A PASSING REMARK ON RAILWAY SPECU- LATI ON. The wings of irresponsible adventure have been cut close, and hardly the free use of property or its returns left to individual enterprise. In railway undertakings ten per cent has been made the maximum-rate of divisional profit, and the property itself is cumpulsorily saleable to the public at the expiration of twenty-one years. Even the management of the estate is not left free, and a cer tain speed of travelling and rate of charge secured to third-class passengers (7 and 8 Vic. 84). The very initiative of such undertakings is jealously watched : they must not be advertised unless a registry has been previously made at a public office, of the names, abodes, and occupations of their promoters, and •` falsely pre tending to be patronised or managed by eminent op opu- ' lent persons,' , subjects to a penalty. This is the " pro visional registration ;" but when the company is formed, and before it can act, otherwise than provisionally, there must be a " complete registration ;" every shareholder must enter into a covenant to pay up instalments ; the deed must be registered; every patron or director must hold shares under a penalty ; shares are not previously transferable, and every transfer must be registered before the holder is entitled to vote or share in the profits of the undertakings. This is only the beginning of trouble and expense. The great battle is still to be fought before the Legislature; preliminary to which a survey must have been made of the intended line, an estimate of the cost drawn out, and the subscription-contract deposited in the private-bill office, prior to the meeting of parliament. These prepa rations made, next comes the tug of war—when Greek meets Greek—when competing companies enter the lists before the committee of five, with a long and not a little costly array of witnesses, attorneys, parliamentary agents, council, &c. And even this ordeal may not be conclu sive, for a favourable award of the committee may be defeated. in the ulterior stage, before the lower or upper house of parliament. Amidst so many safeguards —over so many obstacles — and under so many pains and penalties, there seems no great temptation, no greater scope, for wild and unpr;n cipled speculation. Public gullibility has,ceased to be virgin land—an untrodden waste, over which any ad venturer may poach, without character, certificate, or pretension. There must be testimonials—there must be proof before competent tribunals that new undertakings are likely to be safe and useful, ere they are deemed eligible to be tendered for adoption to the community. In despite, therefore, of the existing scrutiny, and of the compulsory publicity the law has enforced upon project ors and their proceedings, it seems hardly possible for any very nefariovs or air-drawn scheme of individual cupidity to prosper. If the people are entrapped—if they sink in a slough, it must be with their eyes open, and in culpa ble disregard of the finger-posts and alarm bells that have been devised for their security. Of course, they are not guaranteed against all chances of loss or danger ; if they speculate, they must incur the ordinary risk of specula tive ventures ; and, if unusual or inordinate gains are coveted, by taking the chance of a rise, they must, as the fair price of the contingency, also tike the chance of a fall, in the market.—Wades London Review. The subscriptions for Mr. Hudson's testimonial have reached £20,000. The sharebrokers of Leicester have converted the theatre into a railway exchange. WoonsTocx.—Lord Alfred S. Churchill has announcad himself in an address dated Hounslow Baraacks. Sir John Rennie is to have £l,OOO per week for the survey of a new line in the north. It has been determined to erect a monument in West minster Abbey to the memory of Sir Thomas F. Buxton, by public subscription, limited to two guineas each. Mr. Alfred Tennyson, the author of " Lock sley Hall," the "May Queen," and some other beautiful poems, which stamp him one of the first poets of the age, has just received a pension of £2OO per annum from her Majesty. A notice, signed by all the innkeepers in the place, has been affixed to the church door of the parish of Forden, Montgomeryshire, stating that they will not draw any ale, wine, or spirits, &c., on Sundays, Christmas-days, and Good Fridays. A Frenchman is said to have invented a machine capa ble of doing every decription of sewing except the sewing of button holes. - Mr. Hudson, it is said, has originated a scheme for the establishment of a harbour and docks at Scarborough, to facilitate the communication with the Baltic. At a sale of stock at Castle Howard last week one cow fetched £lBO, and her calf £65. Within the last fortnight between 1500 and 1600 whales have been caught off Shetland, which are calculated to bring in a sum of £4OOO, one-third of which goes to the proprietors, and the rest, we suppose, to those engaged in the capture. LIBEL ON LAW.—The following notice appeared on the west end of a church in Watling-street :—"Any per son sticking bills against this church will be !prosecuted according to law, or any other nuisance." The commissioners for lighting the town of Stamford are trying the experiment of burning naptha instead of gas in the street lamps in that town. They have been induced to do so by the high rate at which gas is charged to them. The Dean of Winchester has opened the cathedral of that city to the public for four hours in each day—from nine till eleven in the morning, and from two till four in the afternoon ; the times of the daily service being included in each of these periods of admission. Mr. Hudson has joined the Eastern Counties as Chair man ; and we understand that the entire management of the railway is to be left in his bands. It is stated that the depositors of the London and Man chester (Ashhurat's) line, have paid up the 10 per cent without a single exception, amounting to upwards of half a million. STRANGE COURT CUSTOM.—In 1767, at Florence, all he gentlemen at Court curtsied to the GranJ Duke and he Grand Duchess. Foreigners only were permitted to ow, they being supposed to know no better. We learn Iso, from a review of the French Ambassador's work on he Fronde, in the Church of England Quarterly, that the French judges used to salute one another by curtsying. TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 14, 1845. We are concerned to witness the retirement of such a man as Mr. John North from the Town Council of this Borough. His ability and useful ness have been eminently displayed during his short career as a public servant, and we could better afford to have lost another man. With these feelings towards Mr. North, and with the fullest appreciation of his worth, we are sorry to be compelled to notice an inconsistency or two, which appears in the address announcing his retire ment. After expressing his entire concurrence in the increased grant to Maynooth, he says " I would yet go further in the same direction, earnestly hoping soon to see a proper provision made out of the public revenue for the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland. A more steadfast Protestant than my self does not live, but I cannot think it any part of my own religion to depress and degrade that of a very large proportion of my fellow-christians. Be lieving all other means inadequate, I want to see the Irish peasantry first humanized, and then instructed by a well-educated, well-paid and respectable priest hood of their own, assured that then only, and with (what the same means will influence) some sense of the duties of property on the part of their absentee landlords, they will become industrious, successful, and happy." In the first place, we cannot conceive how a re fusal to provide, out of the public revenue of a Pro testant country, a provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ireland can be said to be synonymous with " depressing and degrading" the Roman Ca tholic population of Ireland, any more than the re fusal to endow the priesthood of any other creed, Christian or not, is " depressing and de grading" the professors of that creed. Mr. North is a consistent supporter of the present system of religious education in the Cgrporation Schools, from which Roman Catholics consider their children virtually excluded. On his showing this system therefore " depre-ses and degrades" those who refuse to avail themselves of it. The latter portions, however, of the passage above quoted, are the most extraordinary. Mr. North says, he wants to see the Irish peasantry first hu manized, and then instructed, by a well-educated, well-paid and respectable Priesthood of their own." He omits to say how they are to be . humanised." With such humanization and education, in the doc trines of Popery, he concludes by stating that they will become industrious, successful, and happy- May we ask Mr. North how as a " steadfast Pro testant" he can say that education in doctrines which are characterised in the articles of his own reformed Church as " repugnant to the Word of God," as " grounded upon no warranty of Scrip ture," as " blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits," can make men " happy." We are sorry Mr. North has in a manner com pelled us to allude to these subjects, as unfit to be discussed in the columns of a newspaper, as in our opinion they are uncalled for in an address to a municipal constituency. With respect to the propriety of the Licensed Victualler's Body returning a few influential men from amongst its own.members, we can see no ob jection. But the question suggests itself to us whether, by striving for this object, the Victuallers, divided as they are in political opinion, may not lose assured friends, and will not, in the present state of the constituencies, damage their own cause. 'We strongly suspect that they will; and that their best course would be to ally themselves with that large body of the Conservative party who sympathise with them, and, we can tell them, are resolved, at the present election, to give their support to those can didates only who will pledge themselves to apply their best energies to procure local reform and better and more impartial government of the Town. We do not say this to discourage all honest ambition of any Victualler, who may have aspirations to a seat in the Council. The Body however profess to have a practical end in view; and practical men ought to work by practical means. The sick on board the Eclair have all been transferred to the Worcester (frigate in ordinary), with the exception of Mr. Barnard, the surgeon, who died on Thursday. Lieutenant Isaacson and the pilot, who were taken ill on board the Revenge, are both likely to do well. The rest are convalescent. On Saturday night week, on the Great North of Eng land. Railway, near Darlington, owing to the breaking of the wheel of a truck which was attached mid-way amongst some passenger carriages, the truck was thrown off the line, and the passenger carriages were dashed together, and several ladies and gentlemen were seriously hurt. TUE POLICE FORCE.—We understand that a motion has been brought before the Watch Committee that the superintendents of divisions should be mounted. This we consider very desirable, as they would then not only have an easier surveilance over the inferior officers, but could mnch more readily convey intelligence in case of fire, &c. COLLEGIATE INSTITUTION.—A course of lectures, which promises to be the most popular and interesting which has ever been delivered in this noble institution, is to be commenced this evening, by the Rev. W. C. Milne, upon China and the Chinese. Mr. Milne is the son of the late distinguished missionary, and is on the eve of returning to China, his native country, we believe. Thoroughly conversant with the language, the manners, and customs of the inhabitants of China, and having tra velled over a considerable portion of that country, Mr. Milne must possess vast stores of information upon those interesting topics. We believe that he will be assisted In his lectures by Woo Sienaang, a literary Chinese, who accompanied him to England. THE REFORMATION IN GERMANY.—The following is an extract of a letter, dated Konigsburg, 28th Sept. : " The head of the German Catholic congregation here was called before the police a few days ago, arid informed that a ministerial ordinance had been passed, by which the religious acts of the new Catholics would be null if they were not performed by Protestant pastors. The new Catholic church will be allowed the free exercise of its religion as a tolerated religion, but its religious acts will be only considered as private acts if the clergymen of another church do not sanction them. The chief of the new Catholics said that he would recommend to his eoa gregation that they should observe the ordinance, but said that he could not guarantee their doing so." HIGHWAY BOARD.—At the weekly meeting on Thurs day, Mr. Ashlin, the treasurer, presented the accounts of the commissioners made up to the termination of the year, (30th Sept., 1845,) which shewed a balance in favor of the general account for paving, flagging, &c., of .C 11,430. The sewerage account showed a debit for previous balan ces and for sewers already contracted for, of £17,440 in advance of the rates raised for express sewerage purposes. The amount in Leyland and Bullen's hands to the credit of the water works, is £12,350. Mr. Procter thought that nothing to effect good sewerage had been neglected by the commissioners. The chairman moved that a pa ving rate fo eightpenee in the pound be levied, the sue plus resulting from which should be applied to general purposes, and more particularly to sewerage operations. The motion was carried. A water rate of one penny in the pound was then agreed to be levied. THE OXFORD VICE-CHANCELLORSHIP.—Previous to the convocation, lest week, the Rev. Charles Page Eden, late tutor of Oriel College, in the absence of Mr. Sewell, presented a paper to the Vice-Chancellor, which was un derstood to contain an intimation that the right of abso lute nomination by the Chancellor of his Vice-Chancellor was to be disputed. During the proceedings, on the letter of the Chancellor being read, appointing Dr. Symons his Vice-Chancellor for the ensuing year, Mr. Eden again slept forward, and, when the Vice-Chancellor, following the statute's words, said—"Assensum rogo," uttered a non-placet, and demanded a scrutiny. No notice was, of course, taken ; but it is understood that this proceeding is preliminary to a " quo warranto" process, with a view to try the question of the Chancellor's right. Opinions in the university are divided on the subject ; but it is known that many of Dr. Symons's supporters are not averse to a legal settlement of the question ; and Only object to the party which has raised the question, and the object they have in view in doing so.—Church and Stale Ga2ette. MASTERS AND MATES OF VESSELS.—On Saturday a meeting of the Commissioners of Pilotage for this port was held in the Town Hall, to determine what measures would be necessary in consequence of the order of Coun cil, constituting them a board for the examination of mas ters and mates in the merchant service, in compliance with the act which comes into operation next month. The Mayor took the chair, and read a letter from the Pilots' Committee to the effect, that their duties were so onerous that they could not undertake this additional duty. Several very excellent speeches were delivered ; and it was considered that it was beginning at the wrong end to examine the present masters. A good nautical school should first have been established. Ultimately, on the motion of Mr. Alderman Nicol, a resolution was passed, that the Pilots' Commissioners undertake to no minate a board for the examination in question, and a sub. committee was appointed to carry the resolution into effect. TO CORRESPONDENTS. A. and B.—" Upwards of such a number" means more than such a number. Notwithstanding the aid of a stamped Supplement, we are com pelled to postpone the insertion of several communications. We have authority t U state that the circulation of the tract in the manner referred to by a correspondent of the Mercury amongst the loman C Atholics on their entering chapel the Sunday before last, was without the sancVon or knowledge of the reverend author, the worthy curate of St. Thomas's, Tox teth-park. Ely Ribt'rpool zt,tanirar'i. SHOOTING A POLICE-OFFICER IN ONE OF THE BRIDEWELL STATIONS. On Sunday morning, about one o'clock, three gentle men, Mr. Emanuel BromLow, a medical man, Mr. Thos. Benbow, (not at present in business), and Thos. Francis Russell, solicitor, were given in charge of the police, for having broken open an inner bed-room door of a house in Hill street, Copperas-hill. It appeared that the whole three were at the time'excited by drink. The occupant of the house rose from his bed and followed them, without his coat, until he gave them in charge, and they were conveyed to Hotham-street Bridewell. One of the pri soners, Russell, after being taken to the station, took up a pistol which had been found on the person of Mr. Ben bow, and cocked it, when the moment afterwards it went off, and, being loaded with ball, shot police-officer Watts, (No. 418), wounding him so seriously in the face and head, that he was conveyed, in a precarious state, to the Infir mary. _ The three prisoners were yesterday brought up at the Polic e-court. The less serious charge was taken as af fecting Mr. Bramilow,and Mr. Benbow alone, (.vho had be en admitted to bail.) At the close of this first exami nation, which merely went to show that the whole three were implicated in breaking in the door, Mr. Russell, who was in custody, was placed at the bar, anti the evi dence, was minutely gone into. It appeared that on-the prisoners being booked, Brornilow and Benbow were suc cessively searched when on the latter was found a pair of small pocket pistols,which he immediately said were loaded with ball, cautioningthose present with regard to them. The prisoners were ranged in front of a high desk, upon which the bridewell-keeper placed the pistols. The prisoner Russell, who was at the time leaning on his right elbow on the desk, was seen to take up one of them and placing it between his two hands, cocked it. At this moment officer Watts, it was stated, approached him as if to push it from him, when it instantly went off, and the ball en tered at his nose, and severely wounded him. He bled profusely, and was taken to the Infirmary. None of the witnesses (who were calmly cross-questioned by the pri toner,) could swear that aim was taken at Watts, and Watts was not the man who took him into custody. Seve ral of the witnesses admitted that the prisoner was not violent before the transaction, and one of them, that he afterwards said, " Thank God it is no worse." The prisoner. in his cross-examination, endeavoured to shew that the act was altogether accidental, and there appeared considerable reason to suppose so. Mr. M`Cheane, house surgeon at the Infirmary, spoke to the nature of the wound, which had been probed for the ball, but was not found, and his life was still in danger. The patient's being examined would not, he thought, be prejudicial to his case. Mr. Benbow was then heard as a witness. He merely stated that he kept the pistols at home, or in his pocket, as he lived in a dangerous district in Kirkdale, and that he had never told the prisoner that he had them, or that they were loaded. In cross-examination by the prisoner, he said prisoner bad immediately said, " What a terrible accident !" and had expressed similar feeling repeatedly during the night of their incarceration. The prisoner was remanded, and the two defendants had their bail renewed till this day. On making enquiry, at the infirmary, last night, we were politely informed by Mr. M'Cheane, the house surgeon, that the wounded police-officer, Watts, was going on favourably, and that good hopes are entertained of his recovery, although he is not yet considered out of danger, the ball (which has penetrated up the nose about two inches) having not yet been extracted. Hungerford Suspension Bridge was sold on Friday for £226,000, thus yielding £62 10s. for each share of 1:25. POTATO TRADE.—Several cargoes of potatoes have al ready been shipped for Holland and London. The pro duce, we understand, averaged from 59 to 70 bolls per acre ; in some instances it reached 80 bolls. The crops already raised, however are among the best in this quarter. Farmers are still standing out for high prices, and among others we hear that £3O per acre was refused for two fields of 70 acres in the Stormont. Prices per boll, for shipping, at the steelyards here yesterday were from 10s. to 11s.—Pert hshire Courier. SINGULAR PHENOMENON.-A gentleman, residing at Bootle, observed, a few evenings ago, when walking in his garden, a remarkably luminous appearance on the gravel walks, wherever he placed his foot. The light was evi dently of a phosphoric character, and similar in intensity to that emitted by the glow-worm. On gathering up a portion of the gravel, the hands and fingers became covered with the phosphoric rays ; and some of the gravel being placed on paper, and carried into the house, re tained the same appearance for a considerable length of time. The sube•tance of which the walks are formed is a French burrstone. A PRECIOUS VOLUME.—During a sale of the books of the late Dean of Lincoln, one of the books was thought very ponderouQ, and, on examination, it was discovered that in the bookbinder's fly-leaf," at the beginning, se veral coins were se we d. I t was spee di ly ascertained that a manuscript letter was fastened to the leaf, and that seven guineas and two half-guineas, of the reign of Charles 11., were strongly sewed within it, like so many buttons. The coins were bright and fresh ; and, though many of the books in the library were sadly damaged by damp and neglect, this volume and its contents had escaped injury from the lapse of 160 years. The letter had no signature, but from its style seemed to be the writing of a lather to his son at one of the universities. The lot was withdrawn. FURTHER RUMOURED CONCESSIONS TO POPERY.— A London journal, which is in the confidence of the Romish party , tells us that it is reported in Dublin that the quit -rents and fines of the Crown estates in Ireland are to be assigned to the Romish priests, to form a fund for the building and reparation of their chapels. This is computed at another £30,000 a year, and it will be as po sitive a national endowment to that amount, as if were voted as an annual charge upon the Consolidated Fund. Must we not ask, what the Protestants of Great Britain and Ireland are doing in this state of things? Do they mean quietly to submit to have million after million taken out of their pockets, (for each £30,000 per annum is just the interest of a million of Consols,) for the en couragement and establishment of what they know to be the chief device of Satan for th e ru i n o f men s souls. PRICE OF IRON.—One of the largest meetings of the iron trade ever remembered took place in the Town-hall, Birrningbarn, on Thursday. It was at first generally con sidered that the existing prices would be maintained, but it was soon ascertained that two of the largest firms in Staffordshire had decided on qn advance of £1 per ton ; and it was generally adopted. Iron is now, therefore, quoted at—har, £lO ; pig, £5 10s. to £6 ; hoops, £ll ; and sheet, £l2 per ton. The greatest interest appeared to be excited, and all parties seemed well pleased at the cheering prosper is of the trade for some years to come. It was generally understood that many large orders had been received for railway iron, not only for home con sumption, but for foreign demands ; and the exportation for the current year is expected to exceed by far anything hitherto known ; in addition to which orders for rails, there is at present a greater demand for iron for machi nery, ship-building, and general purposes, than has taken place for many years. The small holders have all parted with their stocks ; and, under these combined circum stances, the rise was inevitable. Notwithstanding it was hinted that stocks generally were geiting low, we have no doubt, but the strenuous exertions which are making in all quarters to meet the expected continued demand, no inconvenience will be felt, or delays occur, in the general current supply.—Mining Journal. INTERCOURSE WITH ROME.—Ia the late charge of the Bishop of 'Gibraltar that prelate remarks on the impossi bility of maintaining an intercourse of even friendly civil ity with Rome, and the opinion has lately received a re markable illustration in the most Popish city of Europe— Munich. The King of Prussia, it appears, attended, by express invitation, at the baptism of the infant son of the Prince Royal. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Popish Bishop officiating desired the chief persons pre. sent to place their hands on the head of the young and newly-created soldier of Christ. This ceremony is in ac cordance with custom, and the King of Prussia, standing by as a guest, hastened to place his band on the infant's head, and to invoke a blessing upon the scion of the house of Bavaria. With whatever approbation or equanimity this simple and gracious act may have been contemplated by the royal and noble assembly present, it was too much for the proud and self-righteous prelate : his " Catholic" bile choked his sense of common civility, and, eagerly stepping forward, he pushed aside the hand that was out stretched only to ask a Wessing from heaven. The in sult from the bishop appears to have been contemplated by the attendant witnesses with the same coolness as that with which they viewed the kindly-meant proceeding of the Protestant king. No one rebuked him, even by a look; and the monarch, finding himself alone, turned on his heel, left the palace, and shortly after quitted the city.—Church and Slate Gazette. THE IRON TRADE.—Messrs. Short and Mahony, in their usual circular, give us this week a return of all the , exports of British iron from the United Kingdom since 1835--in that year the quantity of bar-iron exported was 94,381 tons, and pig 33,073 tons; while, in 1844. the quantity of bar-iron was 230,935 tons, and pig 99.960 tons, or very nearly triple the amount in t en y ears . Th e total quantity of iron exported, consisting of bars, bolts and rods, pigs, casts wire, anchors, &c., I .lOO[A, nails, sundries, unwrought steel, hardware, and cutlery, was, in 1835, 218,608 tons; in 1813, 460,181 tons; and in 1844, 472,023 tons. During the intermediate years a steady increase is exhibited, and it is evident that the highest prices occur in those years which witness the greatest demand. Though it is evident that in 1841 the demand caused the rise, still it may not follow that, with the expected increasing demand, prices will get unrea sonably high ; there is, however, every prospect that, from the enormous amount of railway surface to be laid in every state of Europe, in the United Kingdom, Ame rica, West and East Indies, and from other sources, such as shipbuilding, machinery, &c., iron will keep at a highly compensating figure for several years to come. In addi tion to our usual outlets for the consumption of British iron, France and Belgium, although iron-producing coun tries to a large extent, have not the means to supply any thing like the demand that is daily arising for railway iron. A large portion of this must be supplied by our iron -manufacturers, and there cannot be a doubt but that the total exports of the present year will very far exceed half a million of tons; and this, in addition to the very greatly extended orders in this country, will keep up the price. Most of the houses are full of orders. Scotch pigs have steadily advanced to 955. and 100 s. ; in fact, we have heard of one Scotch house which made a sale of 2500 tons of pig-iron on Thursday last, at 955. net cash ; Welsh bars to £9, and railway iron £ll to £l2 per ton. To meet the growing demand, and which will, perhaps, curb an unhealthy rise, we are glad to see that not only in England are new furnaces being blown in, but some new brands will probably soon be in the market from Scotland. At Kinneil four new furnaces are erected, and will be blown in early in November. Eglintoun and Lugar are also progressing ; and, by the spring of 1846, several in Fifeshire will be in active opt ration.
