It has been reported for some time past that the large mala chite doors in the Russian collection were sold. There is no foundation whatever for this report, the only large ar ticle of malachite which has been yet sold being one of the largest vases, which has become the property of Prince Esterhaay, at the price of £3,500. TOKENS OF AFFECTION.—We hear That a certain good " uncle," of this city, received on Monday last from his numerous relatives as PLEDGES of their affection, in the shape of keepsakes till such times as their means would enable them to REDEEM them, no less than 100 wedding rings and 10 beds, the loan received on each present being intended to defray the expenses of a trip on the following morning to see the sights of the great and mighty city.—Gloucester Chronicle. The following curious fact is illustrative of the anxiety still felt in the provincial towns to inspect the wonders of the Exhibition. On Saturday night, before the depar ture of the excursion train to London, one pawnbroker in Leeds had received on deposit no less than a bushel and and a half of watches; and this sudden and extraordinary accession of business he attributes entirely to the desire which those who are little able to afford the treat have to .visit the Crystal Palace. CRYSTAL PALACE ON THE TYNE.—The Messrs. Smith, of St. Peter's-quay, on the Tyne, have contracted for the entire enclosure, with glass, of their extensive shipbuild ing yard of St. Peter's, where vessels of the highest class and character, and of the largest registered tonnage, are constructed. The glass for the roof is to be patent rough plate, of which a very large quantity will be required. A VALID REASON FOR NOT ATTENDING TIIE WORCES TER FESTIVAL.—The Rev. L. Arthur, curate of Odding ley, wrote as follows to the Mayor of Worcester, in reply to an invitation to attend the Musical Festival :—" Unless your lordship, who I perceive is president, can shew me that such an assemblage of opera and theatre performers within the walls of the cathedral, is not making God's house of prayer into a den of thieves, I must, as T have hitherto done, avoid such a mixture of sacred and profane persons and things, for I know it to be contrary to God's most holy Word, to the teaching of the primitive Church, and of the united Church of England and Ireland. I write to thank the Mayor for his courtesy, believing that, with many excellent persons, he errs in ignorance, but declining his invitation, and it is my intention to pub lish this letter early to-morrow morning." STEAMERS TO THE WEST COAST OF AFRICA. —The Admiralty have advertised for tenders for a monthly mail line of screw -steamers to and from England and the west coast of Africa. The ports to be touched at are Goree, Bathurst, Sierra Leone, Monrovia (Liberia), Cape Coast Castle, Accra, Whydah Badagry, Lagos, Bonny, Old Calabar, Cameroons, and Fernando Po. The whole range of the slave coast will thus be included, and it is under stood that the object of the line, which, in the first instance, of course will carry scarcely any passengers or letters, is to promote the extinction of that traffic, not only by cultivating commerce with the natives, but by the rapid and regular information it will convey from point to point. The vessels are to have an average speed of 8 knots and the contract is to be for 5 years. At present the Cape of Good Hope steamers call at Sierra Leone, but the proposed line will obviate that necessity which has been found a serious hindrance, and the route of those vessels will therefore be altered, so that instead of visiting Sierra Leone, they will call at St. Ascension on their out ward, and at St. Helena on their homeward passage. EXPERIMENT ON HYDROPHOBIA.—M. Rochet d'lleri court, the distinguished traveller, has brought from Abys sinia the root of the Cucumis Abyssinica, said to be possessed of the valuable property of curing hydrophobia in dogs. In presenting it to the Academy of Sciences, M. d'llericourt stated that he had himself seen, in Abys sinia, several dogs in different stages of madness com pletely cured by having the powder of the root mixed with food. The communication was received with the liveliest interest, and experiments were ordered to be made. I the last sitting of the Academy a report was presented by the director of the Veterinary School at Alfort, stating that he had tried the remedy on four mad dogs, but with out the slightest success. He added, that fearing the roots might have lost their virtue, he procured one of a living plant from the Jardin des Piantes, but that it, too, was inefficacious. Further experiments are, however, to be made, and more roots are to be got from Abyssinia. There seems no reason why what is a remedy for a dread ful malady in Africa should not be a remedy for the same malady in Europe also.—Literary Gazette. PORTLAND HARBOUR.—The following statement, from the Inspecting Commander, will be read with interest : I consider very great benefit has already been derived by the coasters and vessels loading stone, 40,000 or 50,000 tons of which are annually exported ; the breakwater pro. tects them from S. (the inner end) to S.S.E. Already, in from four to five fathoms good holding ground, and with S.W. gales, much less roll is experienced. It is not sufficiently advanced to afford shelter for large ships at S.S.E., generally speaking, though, from knowing the holding -ground, I should not hesitate, if in command of a line-of-battle ship, receiving the same shelter, viz., from ' a S.S.E. gale, by anchoring close up to the breakwater. A larger class of shipping sought shelter the last winter than during the preceding. In January, 1851, 24 sail put in for shelter ; on the 14th, the wind moderating (S.S.E.), five _sailed. Many of the others shifted their berths, evincing their sense of the benefit of the breakwater ; the same night and following day it increased to a gale ; the five that sailed were either lost or damaged. One of them, a schooner, was lost at Lvme, all hands saved ; another, supposed to have foundered in the West Bay, with all hands ; but, having made no note at the time I heard these reports, I only mention the two preceding cases as those which are authentic, 130 sail having been lying at one time during last winter, and half that number deriving benefit from the breakwater. INSURANCE SOCIETY FOR PROTECTION AGAINST PURGATORY. So trite, so common, and so vulgar are the supernatu ral gifts of the Roman Catholic Church become in this matter-of-fact age, that the machinery of co-operation which covers our land with railways and our sea with steamers, and affords a mighty agency by which national improvements are effected, has been applied to the pur pose of purchasing those unseen ministerial services whereby the Church of Rome professes to deliver the soul of the believer from its durance in the purifying flames of purgatory. Of all the applications of the joint stock principle which this age and country have witnessed, there is none probably so remarkable as the All Souls Purgatorian at the mission of St. Ann, Spicer-street, Spitalfields, London, the leading feature of which is the payment of 2d. per week, and the consideration a certain exemption, in return for this very moderate sacrifice in this life, from the flames of purgatory. Whether this society is conducted on the plan of mutual assurance, so that those payments which are in excess are carried to the credit of those which are in deficit, or whether a sepa rate account is kept between the keepers of purgatory and each contributor, we do not know—nor are we apprised of the manner in which the funds of the society are to be expended, whether according to the old and orthodox precedent of St. Peter's in building the Roman Catholic church which we are promised for the ornament of our metropolis, in assisting the Roman Catholic college in Ireland, or in restoring some degree of substance to the dilapidated Papal exchequer. It may deserve the consi deration of Dr. Newman and other advocates of develop ment, whether the joint-stock principle which is thus applied to the purchase of indulgences might not answer equally well for supplying new miracles as fast as required. We can imagine no vocation in which combination and co-operation would he more necessary than in the work ing of modern miracles, and we only feel an apprehension that, considering on the one hand the limited supply of the article produced, and on the other hand the boundless demand of minds ready to swallow the portents of the whole Oriental mythology at a single gulp, even this method of production may not be found sufficiently pro lific to readjust the balance and gratify those who deem nothing believed while ought remains incredible.—Times. GENERAL -4.- NEWS. LITERARY NOVELTY.—The French papers announce the publication of a volume, containing an exact repro duction and critical history of all the ultra-republican placards displayed upon the walls of Paris since February, 1848, under the title " Les Affiches Rouges." ACCIDENT ON THE GREATNORTHERNLINE.—On reach ing Hornsey on Monday evening, about 6 o'clock, a Hull train found the line blocked by a luggage train, and had to wait half-an-hour ; in consequence a Lincoln train ran _ _ into it and some shatt one lady's leg v concussion of e lifted entirely from the rails, ;es. No lives were lost ; but and another s' p posed to a brain. Several pas gers received slizht injur THE BITER BIZ from London to Bath I ARRIVAL OF AN AMBAS S ADOR FROM PERSIA.—Among the passengers by the Euxine, which arrived at South ampton from Constantinople, &c., last week, was his Excellency Skefiah Khan, an ambassador from Persia to the court of St. James. He is a fine handsome man, about 40 years of age. He was dressed in the costly and picturesque costume worn by the highest ranks in Persia. The sleeves and collar of his cloak were ornamented with gold embroidery ; the clasp of his girdle was studded with diamonds, and a brilliant star was suspended on his breast. He wore the high conical cap of the Persian country. Ho was accompanied by a dragoman and a servant. An extensive suite accompanied him from Per sia to Turkey, nearly the whole of which he took leave of at Constantinople. The ambassador reached Constan tinople by way of Trebisond and the Black Sea. During his voyage in the Euxine he sat at table in the saloon with the other passengers, and was not more particular in his diet than liberal Mussulosen usually are. He drank his tea out of a glass tumbler, making it sweet and hot, without milk or cream. He rigorously abstained from wines and spirituous liquors. He smoked much. His manners on board during the voyage were extremely gentlemanly, and he is evidently a man of education and refinement. He cannot speak English. His secretary, and who acted as dragoman, is a true born Persian, and was educated in India. oe parties in an excursion train st week proceeded openly to sell their tickets upon the platform ; some of the corn officials havin'/ noted the purchasers, went up by tl, as far as Swindon, where they charged the parties with the fact, when they were politely informed that they might chose one of three alternatives, either to pay their whole fare from Bristol to London, or pay their fare back from Swindon to Bristol, or be taken into custody, and be charged before a magistrate. The parties took the paying nart. _ CUTTING A CORPORATION.-lt seems that the Great Northern Riilway directors have given great offence to the authorities at Huntingdon by hastening the royal train so rapidly past that town on her Majesty's trip to Scotland. It appears that the corporation had prepared a congratulatory address to present to the Queen, and that the townspeople had made extensive preparations to testify their loyalty to the crown. The Earl of Sandwich, the lord lieutenant of the county, has been appealed to on the subject, and by his lordship's reply to the mayor, it would seem that he was authorised to state that her Majesty regretted that so much loyal feeling should have been rewarded by disappointment. PROSPECTS FOR THE BRITISH FARMERS AND MlL LERS.—Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the United States, dated August 18 :—" The crop on this continent, which has only Great Britain to look to for a market, is extensive, beyond even the most enlarged estimate ; and it was only yesterday I was informed by an intelligent English gentleman, who has just returned from visiting the west, that he was assured that flour would reach England beforo Christmas, standing in less than three dollars per barrel. Persons conversant in the grain trade do not estimate wheat at higher than 40 cents per bushel, (15s. the imperial qr.) which would make the quantity of a barrel, say five bushels, not over two dollars; the other dollar, he says, will cover the charges of export, manu facturing, &c." THE SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. --A let ter from Captain Parker, of the Truelove ship, giving an account of Capt. Austen's expedition up to the 13th of September, 1850, has been brought by Capt. Ord, of the Tyne, of Berwick-upon-Tweed, which ship arrived at that port on the 6th instant from Davis' Straits. From this letter it would appear that the searching expeditions were about to enter into winter quarters on the southern shore of Cornwall Island, in Barrow's Straits ; and Capt. Parker, of the Truelove, brings a letter from Mr. Hibner, of the United States' station, (which will be read with deep interest by all,) concerning the traces of Sir J. Franklin's expedition, which had been already reported by Capt. For syth as having been discovered by Captain Ommany and Lieut. Verticato ; had been further followed up by Capt. Ommany. Captain Penny, and Captain de Haven, of the United States expedition, placing beyond a doubt the safety of Sir John Franklin's ships up to this point, which was their first winter quarters, and during their sojourn ; and there is not the slightest ground for supposing that any disaster of any description had occurred beyond the ordinary casualties of life among such a number, three men having died of the two ships' companies up to April, 1846, about which period they would be approaching to push forward on the main object of the expedition. Every officer and man of the American vessel had marked scor butic disease, but no deaths had occurred, and the crews were again refreshed, after suffering much exposure and trial, being frozen in during the last winter up to the 10th of Jane this year. LIFTING THE TOP STORY OF A HOUSE IN ABERDEEN. —A feat of rather a novel kind—new to this quarter of the world at all events—is at present being performed on a house in the Gallowgate, Aberdeen. The proprietor wishing to add to the height of the second floor of the house, which is a pretty large one, the floors being 28 feet by 24 feet, Mr. Reid, Thornton-place, has suceeeded in lifting the whole of the top of the house entire—roof, garrets, partitions, and all—a height of 31 inches. When the masons have finished raising the walls to the required height, the whole will be gently lowered down again and thus much expense and labour will be saved. The lifting was accomplished by means of machines technically known as " dumb crafts"--a sort of screw power.—Aberdeen Herald. A CROWDED EXCURSION TRAIN.—A cheap excursion train from Southampton to London, ran on Monday. The train was to start at half-past six in the morning and return at night. At six o'clock upwards of 3,000 persons were assembled before the Southampton Railway Station. The carriages for the train had not arrived, however, from London at the time for starting, and the crowd was, con sequently, kept outside the station until the carriages did arrive, which was not until seven o'clock. When the station doors were opened the crowd was so great, and so eager to get in, that the windows of the station were broken, several persons were injured, and a great number of hats, shawls, bonnets, caps, and shoes were lost. Numbers of women fainted or were taken ill, and children were nearly crushed to death. Owing to the immense pressure of the mob many persons had their clothes torn to pieces. POSITION OF THE FEMALE SEX IN THE UNITED STATES.—More unrestricted freedom of action, general influence, and visible power, is conceded to the female sex of the United States. This the European perceives soon after he lands in the United States, but it becomes more perceptible as he proceeds towards the west. The female conventions are occasionally held, for the purpose of up. holding the rights of women, and of demanding an equality in all matters with the male sex. At first sight it appears difficult to account for this great forwardness of the sex we are accustomed to defer to as the weaker and gentler and more aimable, as well as more loving and beautiful; and yet it is not an unnatural state of things in a new country like this. For two hundred years a tide of emi gration, more or less powerful, chiefly of the male sex, has been flowing from Europe to America. As soon as they are settled, these men look out for wives ; and, as the females are scarce, they are highly prized, much sought after, courted, indulged, and it may be ultimately spoiled. Even at this day, when the facilities for crossing the sea are so much greater, and emigration by families so much more frequent than formerly, the disproportion between males and females is very great. Thus the emi gration into the United States, during the last three years, consisted of males and females respectively:— REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.—SHIPSTON-ON-STOLIR. -It is not a little remarkable that a second crop of wheat, which is now in flower, has sprung up in those fields that were either much injured, or entirely destroyed, by the late terrible hail-storm. And even in those fields which were mown after the storm a second crop has sprung up, and appears likely for the sickle in the latter end of this month. In those cases where the first crop was left standing it is considerable, and the farmers aro much puz zled in deciding whether the first crop should be sacrificed to secure the second, or the second to secure the first, as both cannot be secured. It unfortunately happens in several cases, after the wheat was mown, either the ground was ploughed, or cattle were turned upon it to eat the springing blade. This was done, of course, in ignorance of the extraordinary compensating power of nature in the vegetable world, in the case of injury, or apparent destruc tion.— Oxford Chronicle. 1847. 1848. 1849.

BALLOON DESCENT AT A LUNATIC ASYLUN. —The veteran Green, having made his 485th ascent from Vaux hall-gardens in the Nassau balloon on Monday evening, accompanied by a party of gentlemen, effected a safe des cent on the lawn in front of the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum. Many of the patients, who were enjoying their evening amusements, immediately assisted him in securing the balloon, and rendering him the required assistance.

The dealers' stock of Beef having become somewhat reduced, there has been rather more inquiry this week, without, how ever, for so far having led to an increased business.

Ilifluenced by the causes expressed the preceding observations, the trane relative to all kinds of .1 Wheat was so extremely languid, that even a few retail ales were with difficulty made; and although holders refralucd from urgently pressing business at any material abatement, prices were nominally rather lower. New Wheats, on the contrary, were in fair request, prime samples of white from our home growers acquiring ss. 9d. to ss. 10d., and red ss. 3d. to ss. 6d.; Irish red, of various qua.ities, realising 4s. 6d. to ss. 3d. per 701bs. States and Canadian Flour, continuing to command a preference over all other articles of the trade, met a good, steady local and country demand; and with several inquiries for shipment coastwise and to Ireland, prime brands were difficult to purchase, and all qualities slightly exceeded the annexed currency of Tuesday; whilst French Flour was in moderate request at late prices. Barley, ➢lalt, Beans, and Pease, attracting very little notice, each may be deemed rather lower in value. Oats, in the absence of supply, would, if more plentiful, hardly maintain late prices; and Oatmeal was deci dedly 3d. to 6d. per load cheaper. .Indian Corn on the spot was in slow request, at barely former rates; several floating cargoes, have recently changed hands, and still meet occa sional inquiries. from urgently BRITISH.

There has been no particular change in the aspect of the trade here since our last. At our Exchange, to day, but little is done in wheat, and we reduce our quotations 3d. per bushel. Select qualities of fresh Flour, both home made and foreign, maintain their value ; secondary samples are offered at irregular rates, and for old lots prices are quite nominal. Old Oats, Beans, and Oatmeal are very scarce, and maintain late prices. But little new stuff is yet offering. WISBEACH, SErT. 1 3.—There has been a large quantity of Wheat showing here to-day, which found buvers at a reduction of fully 2s. per qr. No alteration in Oats or Beans. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 13.—The weather this week could not have been more favourable for harvest opera tions, and, in consequence, a large breadth of Grain has been secured throughout the northern district in excellent condition. Potatoes, however, in this neighbourhood are extensively dis eased, and very unfavourable reports were brought to market to-day from the growers. This morning we had a good deli very of new Wheat from the farmers; taken as a whole, the quality and weight are highly satisfactory; and new being much wanted it was readily disposed of, the Red bringing 38s. to 405., and White, the quality of which is very superior, 40s. to 425. per qr. Coastwise the arrivals are very limite 1, and no new has yet been received from thence. The demands for Old Wheat, either English or Foreign, ruled very dull ; however, in the sales effected, last week's rates were nearly supported. Grinding Barley finds buyers at late rates. There was very little sale for Old Oats to-day, and no alteration in their value can be reported.

There is a fair sale for the better qualities of old Wheat, at Is. decline; having a good choice of new, the extreme prices of the last few weeks are not obtainable. Good reds make 365. to 395. ; white 425. to 475. Oats are id. per stone cheaper, and shelling as last week. New Barley makes 275. to 305., according to quality. Beans improve in price, and scarce. DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 12.—The weather has for several days been extremely favourable for the cereal crops, and for the ga thering in of the harvest.

The quietness observed at the commencement of the week still continues, though without any change in prices. The dearness of cotton in Liverpool, and the absence of stocks in first hands, make spinners firm at their quotations, while the recent rise in price, and the prospect of an ample supply of the raw material during the winter months, prevent merchants operating, except for immediate wants. Stocks, of nearly all descriptions, are very scarce, and few orders can be placed for immediate deli very. Water twist, in all numbers to 30's, is much in request at full prices. Cops for the home trade are also in demand. Continental buyers purchase moderately, while for India there is still very little doing, except in 20's and 30's mule, for which there is some inquiry. The cloth market, though firm, is with out animation, and operations have been somewhat limited. Goods for India are very depressed, and where sales have been effected, they have been at low rates. ROCH . DALE.—There has been little activity in the flannel market this week, when we consider that it is that time of the year when the merchants, as well as drapers, begin to lay in their winter stock. Kerseys have been rather more in demand; but the business in flannels has been upon a very limitedscale. There has been little doing in wool, and prices much the same as the preceding week. LEEDS.—There has been less business done in woollen cloths this week than in any week for the past two months. The un remunerative character of the prices obtained is complained of by the manufacters, who, however, continue moderately well employed. MACCLESFIELD.—The business recently transacted in goods has determined our manufacturers to push forward with in creased vigour their production of autumn styles, especially as stocks of this description are known to be exceedingly light, with, at present, every probability of the demand continuing. In thrown silks very little is doing, and recent transactions have been, on the whole, slightly in favour of purchasers. In raw silks, there is an evident lull of business; prices, however, re main unaffected, the notations of the Ist inst. being maintained. NOTTINGHAM.—The few buyers that have bee'iriiiil our last, have been principally of a retail character. The home trade is very quiet, and we have very little foreign demand. Until within the last few weeks it was generally expected we should have considerable orders from America for both lace and hosiery goods but this hope we fear will prove delusive, as the high rate of discounts that not obtains in New York even for first-class bills, renders it .next to impossible for importers to make a profit on their purchases. It is generally supposed that the great losses by fire in California disturbed the rates of ex change ; but from whatever cause arising, it is much feared our orders for the two staple trades of this town will be considerably curtailed. It would appear from the return made by the Board of Trade, that our exports of both lace and hosiery exceeds that of previous years, up to the last return made, which we were scarcely prepared to expect, of the generality of manufacturers, especially in the hosiery traue, have not appeared up to this time so busy as they were last year during the same period, and the majority of workmen have not been so fully employed; one reason for the latter may probably arise from the nrpoth, n caLly 111. creased quantity of goods now Produced from the a circular frames, which will of necessity throw a great number of hands out of employment. We hope, however, that some other branches of manutactures will be shortly established here, where there is such abundance of skilled labourers. We have been told that a mill for making cloth is likely to be erected shortly in the neighbourhood, but this report wants confirming. The price of yarn for each branch of business remains without alteration. an yet London and North Western Midland.... Lancashire and Yorkshire.. London and South Western London and Brighton ......
