The difficulty of collecting the elements on.which to propor tion premium to risk in Insurance-against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present clii.rged are mere the result of guess than calculation. It has been fouml by experience, that the total annual losses of the different established Companies have not been propor tionate to the amotmt.of annual premiums received by each. It is of the highegoimportance, both to the Insured and In surers, that such it anomaly should cease, and an approxima tion to the true" risk be made. To secure this object, the Equitable We Insurance Company is established. The true rate of premium for Fire Insurance can only , be approached through Classification and Average, which has•not hitherto teen sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodi cally to the Insured will determine the true premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as Fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a care ful combination of Claseification and Average, the premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from ,time to time, adopt such rates of pre mium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrangements as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation, will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty percent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose policies have been in farce for three years. Insurance against Loss by Fire are effected by the Equitable Company upon every description of Property on the lowest terms.

BULLOCK'S SEMOLA, a highly nutritious and very agreeable Food for Invalids, Infants, .Ladies who are suckling, and Persons of delicate constitution. BULLOCK'S SEMOLA is prepared solely from the finest wheat without sny admixture. •It consists of the largest proportion of the staminal, or nutritive principle of that grain which is adapted to culinary purposes, and is as nutritious as five times its weight of wheat flour ' or-considerably more than its weight at of any kinof meat, whilst it is bland, non-stimulating, light -to the stomach, and readily digestible. For INVALIDS it supplies a most agreeable substitute for gruels. As a food for INFANTS and WEAKLY CHILDREN it iS inva luable, as it contains exactly the organic materials suited to their growth ' and uniformly agrees with the stomach. •Taken by Alo:rnmas who are nursing, between their ordi nary meals, or for supper, it increases the quantity andgreatly improves the quality of their milk. As a general rule, SEMOLA is applicable in all cases of 4lebi- Iffy, whether general weakness of tbe.system, or local weak ness, as of the stomach, lungs, or other:organs. Many errors prevail respecting food for invalids and chil dren : arrow-root, tousles moil, and the like, are merely vari eties of starch ; they have their uses as articles of food, but they contain no nourishment. Oats and barley, so largely used, contain far less real nou rishment than wheat flour; they are properly prescribed by the Profession when it is desirable to give only,asmall amount of nourishment. Peas, beans, lentils, and other leguminous seeds, require a strong stomach, and vigorous .exercise, for digestion ,• in delicate habits they produce distressing flatu lence, and irritation of the stomach and bowels. *** In special eases, where there is any doubt as to the proper kind of food required by an invalid, a medical man should be ,consulted. Mr. Bullock pledges himself that his SEMOLA contains no thing which is not derived from the finest wheat; the process of its manufacture rendering it admirably suited to a variety of culinary forms. G RUELX made with it are particularly agreeable. It is also adapted for puddings, cakes, and as an addition to soups, beef or mutton ten. It mixes readily with all other forms of chil dren's food, And by itself, or in combination, will he found to have the property of satisfying, in which farinaceous foods often fail, whilst it is pot rejected from the stomach.

That night will be passed at Holy rood Palace, and on Friday the Royal party will set out on their return to the South. On Saturday week the Queen went over to " Auld weaver Anderson's"—about a mile and a half above Bal moral, on the opposite side of the Dee, to see tartan weaving, and the sort of loom upon which the old High landers wove the clan tartan of their philabegs—an imple ment upon which a hundred and fifty years are reported to have made but comparatively little alteration or im provement. After staying a considerable time examining the workshop, and seeing the process of weaving, her Ma jesty took her departure, and when bidding the " auld weaver" good bye, left him an order for a tartan plaid, which we have no doubt the old man will be very proud to fulfil.

LOWNDES' LIBRARY.—The first day's sale of the books comprising the library of the late judge of the. County Court, took place yesterday. The attend ance in the early part of the morning was good, notwith standing the extremely unfavourable weather. Among the company, however, was the .usual confederation of dealers, which, indeed, went far to swell the amount of the aggregate number. The result of the sale goes far to prove the,truth of the opinion pretty generally held, that books are not so highly esteemed, nor readers so nume rous as certain educational enthusiasts would have it believed. It is true that the library referred to is,oom posed chiefly of volumes in the dead or continental lan guages, and contains not a few tomes that might correctly be set down as dry and musty, yet, the former class.at least ought to attract the attention of the educated por tion of our community, besides, there were not a few works of modern date and standing, yet the prices realised were out of all proportion below the value of the lots in the majority of instances. The number of the lots sold was 222, comprising, probably, three or four hundred volumes, some of which were extremely old. Yet the amount realised did not exceed some fifty or sixty pounds. Le Peintro Graveur, by Adam Bartel), 21 vols., neatly bound in calf, brought only £3 3s. The Bridgewater Treatises, viz., Kirkby's History, Habits and Instincts of Animals, 2 vols., 1835, £2 ls.

THE " CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY."—With a loud and boastful flourish the Freeman's Journal annonnces that the initiatory step has been taken towards the carrying out of that clause in the synodical address which called upon " the faithful" by their allegiance to the Holy See for their aid towards the founding of a purely " Catholic University," and thereby setting at rest all controversy with respect to the merits, or rather demerits, of the Cullen-"ondemned colleges.

Verdon, the proprietor of a local paper (the Champion), which, although of kindred politics with those entertained by Mr. Somers, has for some unexplainable reasons always opposed his return to Parliament. A " meeting" to de cide the deadly feud seems to have been agreed upon by the belligerents, but by some strange mistake on one side or the other it would appear from a letter from Mr. Gra ham, bearing date the 28th of September, that up to that period the parties had not " met." HANOVERIAN RICHES.—For some things the magnifi cence of Hanover is proverbial, and its plate-room, for instance, is amongst the finest in Europe. You go from chamber to chamber through absolute masses of silver and gold, wrought into a thousand curious shapes and forms.

The report of a pistol fired beneath the bridge is repeated three or four times. The rapid repeti tion of echoes from each of the T irons on the side of the tube gives rise to a shrill, whirring musical note. When any violent-noise is produced on the adjacent shore, the note is the same whether produced by the blows of the rivetters or the report of a cannon, and corresponds to a low Don a concert flute. " The cells of the top and bottom," says Mr. Edwin Clark, in his 'interesting work on Tubular Bridges, " form excellent speaking tubes, and conversation may be carried on through them even in a faint whisper. By elevating the voice, persons may converse through the entire length of the bridge, a dis tance of more than 500 yards. If one end of the cells be closed they return a powerful echo, but although a whis per is thus distinctly repeated, the loudest whistle does not appear capable of returning any echo. SEPULCHRAL. URN OF THE ROMAN-BRITISH PERIOD. —A workman, in the employ of A. W. Williams, Esq., M.D., of this town, has this morning (Friday) discovered, in afield about 150 yards south-east of Llanbeblig church - yard, a sepulchral urn, or rather two urns, which evidently had been placed within each other when interred. The urns are a mixture of sand and clay, of a bluish gray co lour, without any lead glaring. They contained a consi derable quantity of calcined bones, a few pieces , of char coal, besides two or three pieces of iron, (one piece very much resembles the head of an arrow, such as have been frequently discovered in the interior of Carnarvon-Castle,) also a small piece of pottery, which appears to be a frag ment of Saurian ware. The urns were unfortunately bro ken by the workman : but Mr. Williams being on the spot at the time, took every pains to secure the pieces, and with a very little trouble they may be restored to their pristine symmetry. If the bit of iron is a portion of an arrow head, we may safely infer that these urns are of an earlier period than the Romans, simply because the Roman sepulchres and urns are particularly distinguished by the absence of weapons, whereas implements and utensils are frequently found in those belonging to that renowned people.—Carnarvon Herald. . . RATING OF CHRONOMETERS.-It has long been sus pected 'that chronometers do not keep the same time at sea as on shore. This change of rate has been attributed to magnetic attraction, the motion of the ship at sea, and to other causes. I explained to the Observatory Com mittee, soon after the erection of the Observatory, that .change of temperature affected the going of some chro nometers very greatly; and further experiments, with the very convenient means placed at my disposal, shewed that the difference between the land and sea rates, in all well established cases, was due almost entirely to change of temperature, and,imperfect compensation. That when a chronometer had - been exposed to a tropical climate and returned to the Observatury in the winter, a great change of rate might take place, but that if the same chrono meter was exposed to a temperature of between 80° and .90 0 , 'produced by artificial means, the rate which it had in the tropical climate would-be restored with an astonishing degree of accuracy. lam satisfied that change of tem perature produces a greater change of rate in chrono meters employed in the merchant service than any other known cause ; still I am not prepared to say that local attraction, or the motion of the ship, do not produce a change of rate which might be detected, if experiments of a still more careful description were made. For such experiments it is necessary that all the details relative to the method of obtaining time and of rating the chrono meters on shore should be preserved for discussion. Such details will be furnished by the chronometrical ex pedition now in progress between this country and America. Already 143 chronometers have passed be tween this ,Observatory and the Observatory at Cam bridge, United States. The main object of this expedi tion is to obtain the chronometrical difference of longi tude between this port and Boston, United States, but the expedition will supply us with many interesting par ticulars relative to the performance of chronometers, .under various circumstances, during their passage across the Atlantic.—Mr. Hartrup's Report on the Liverpool Observatory. AMERICAN WOODLANDS.—The forest lands of America preserve to the present hour something that is character istic of their wild condition, undisturbed for ages. They abound in ruins of their own. Old trees, dead and dying, are left standing for years, until at length they are shi vered ,and broken by the winds, or they crumble slowly away to a shapeless stump. There was no forester at hand to cut them down when the first signs of decay ap peared.; they had no uses then, now they have no value. Broken limbs and dead bodies of great trees lie scattered through the forests ; there are spots where the winds seem to have battled with the woods. At every step one treads on fallen trunks, stretched in giant length upon the earth — this still clad in its armour of bark, that bare and moul dering, stained by green mildew—one a crumbling mass of fragments, while others again lie shrouded in beautiful mosses, long green hillocks marking the grave of trees slowly turning to dust. Young trees are frequently found growing upon these forest ruins; if a giant pine or oak has been levelled by some storm, the mass of matted roots and earth wilt stand upright for years, in the same position into which it was raised by the falling trunk ; and occa sionally a good-sized hemlock or pine, or beech, is seen growing from the summit of the mass, which in itself is perhaps ten or twelve feet high, We have found a stout tree, of perhaps of twenty years' growth, which has sprung from a chance seed, sown by the winds on the prostrate trunk of a fallen pine or Chesnut, growing until its roots have stretched down the side of the mouldering log, and reached the earth on both sides, thus holding the crum bling skeleton firmly in its young embrace. The decay of these dead trees is strangely slow; prostrate pines have been known to last fifty years undecayed, still preserving their sap ; and upright grey shafts often remain standing for years, until one comes to know them as familiarly as the living trees. Instances are on record where they have thus, remained erect in death for a space of forty years. Amid this wild confusion, we note here and there some mark left by civilised man ; the track of wheels, a rude road, sprinkled over by withered leaves, or the mark of the axe, sharp and clean, upon g stump close at hand, re minding us how freely and how richly the forest contri butes to rho Mt/ CM' TAPO,--Afire Cooper's Rural MIDNIGHT FRIEND.-A medical gentleman in Ply mouth has adopted the excellent plan of fixing a gutta percba mouthpiece by the side of his bell handle at the street door, and attached to the mouthpiece is a long gutta percha tubing, which reaches to his bed. In the night, when the bell is rung, the tube, which hangs sus pended by the bedside, is immediately resorted to, and a conversation is carried on without the necessity of the doctor even rising from his pillow. This is a very great convenience, and prevents exposure to a cold atmosphere. which must frequently prove very prejudicial to medical men.—Plymoulh Journal. A CLEVER STARLING.—Mr. Rothwell, of Southpor is one of the best ornithologists in the counts, been reading in Sterne abOut the starlin termincd to make the experiment of training One.AC.- cordingly, having procured a young starling, he taught it to whistle " Rory O'More" quite through, and to repeat its own name, " Poor Je..cob." After a while it would say, " Poor Jacob, give us Rory," and then it would repeat its favourite tune. Being once attacked by some boys, it flew away from home, but its master, by coaxing, and calling " Poor Jacob," made it return, alti.ough it. had reached the shore. It was sold for flirt) , sbilli but its master has never been able to teach otl ler star lins (or" shepsters, with t:uch success as " Poor J as they are called in L Preston Chronic DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT Eastern Union Railway, the early morninx ceeding between Thurston and Elmsw_ flatchwell, the Bury St. Edmonds Station Mr. J.

Mr. Hatchwell was twisted violently round, and fell off the carriage a corpse, while Mr. Walton was thrown on the luggage, and expired without a groan. Balbry, the porter, immediately called to the driver of the engine, and the train was stopped as quickly as possible. He then went back and picked up the body of Mr. Hatchwell, which presented a sickening sight. Being placed in the truck van, the train was backed to Thurs ton station. They were both about 33 years of age. Mr. Bruff. the engineer of the line, informed the coroner's jury that neither of the deceased had any business on the roof of the carriage. It was a breach of discipline, and both of the unfortunate men had subjected themselves to dismissal for leaving their stations without order. After a short consultation the jury returned a verdict of " Ac cidental death." Both the deceased had been in the ser vice of the company since the opening of the line in 1840. They have left widows and families.

It was propos op behalf of Mr. Fermor to limit the period of pacity to within four or five years, it bi-ing admitted now, It appeared from the evidence that the unfortunate gen. tleman, who was 76 years of age, was guilty of all sort! of ridiculous and trifling actions.

He was not cleanly person ally, and was generally considered of unsound mind. After the evidence !lad &en taken, the lunatic was brought into Court. He appeared to be in no way conscious of what was going on, and he could not be made to under stand questions addressed to him. The inquiry not having terminated at five o'clock, the Court adjourned. OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH AT SAN FRANCISCO. —The intelligence of an improved state of public morals at San Francisco, received through various sources, is con firmed by the following extract from a letter of the col porteur of the American Tract Society at that place. He writes :—" We are beginning to witness the fruits of Christian effort here. Gamblinc, horse-racing, and bull baiting on the Sabbath seem to oe thoroughly suppressed. But very few places of trade are open on the Sabbath, and Sabbath amusements are mostly discontinued. Our Total Abstinence Society, and public worship, and bibles and tracts, and religious books, and personal efforts, with the consequent improvement of public sentiment and city ordinances, under the blessing of God, have wrought wonders in promoting temperance and religion, and in suppressing vice. The Spanish population are not only accessible, but they plead for Protestant books. Had all my publications been Spanish, I could have sold every book before this. Such instances as the following are not uncommon :—I went into a Spa:Ash settlement and gave a boy, lounging on a sand-bank, a tract; he uttered an exclamation of delight, and soon more than twenty men, women, and children rushed from a neighbouring tent, and swarmed around me like bees, holding out their hands for libros ,espanol.' On receiving them, they began reading aloud, and such a Babel I never witnessed before. In a few minutes I had a congregation of thirty or forty, and I talked to them in my broken Castilian as I best could. Had you witnessed 4 he eagerness and delight of these poor Mexicans and Chilians, you would not delay the shipment of a large supply of Spanish books and tracts."—New York Pool. ANTIQUITY OF THE CROSS AS A SYMBOL.—The cruci fix was not common till the end of the eighth century. The Greek church never publicly accepted it, although it Appears in the quarrel, about images, but used the simple It was not general in the Latin church until tl ,arlovingian. - torn the disciplina arvani and the early prohibition of images by the Synod of Elvira (305), an early use of the crucifix may be supposed, as it referred immediately to 'the first Christian dogma. At first the simple cross was sufficient—crux immissa or capitata ; crux decussata ; and crux commissa—the lamb standing under a blood red cross. The addition of the Saviour's bust at head or foot of the cross while the lamb lay in the centre was the next step towards the crucifix ; and after wards Christ himself was represented clothed, his hand raised in prayer, but not yet nailed. At last he appeared fastened to the cross by four nails (seldom by three), and on the older crucifixes alive, with open eyes ; on the later ones (from the tenth to the eleventh century,) sometimes dead. Christ was often clad in a robe, having the regal crown on his head ; more recently the figure wore a cloth round the loins, and the crown of thorns. This representation was continued, and the crucifix regarded as an indispensable attribute of churches and altars. The number of them increased, as they were particular objects of veneration ; and large ones of wood or stone were placed at the entrance of the church. The altar crucifix was generally of gold or silver, adorned with pearls or precious stones.—Art Journal. WANTED, CAPITAL AND LABOUR AT THE CAPE. — Cape wants are neither peculiar nor numerous. Captain Smoke, in Jerrold's comedy of Bubbles of the Day, con fides to his friend, Lord Skindeep, that he is " terribly in want of a thousand pounds." The reply is, " You may take it as a general rule, Captain Smoke, that every man wants a thousand pounds." As with men so with colo nies. The sun never sets upon one of the dependencies of Great Britain, young or old, which would not be the better for a thousand pounds. Our colonies feel, how ever, another want—it is something to which the Smokes of the old country show a very marked aversion, and that is labour. " Capital and labour" is a cry which reaches us from every corner of the earth. The demand does not sound so loudly perhaps from the Cape as from other and newer colonies; but the want of the first necessities of enterprise, civilization, and progress is not the. less felt. Any sort of European labour (except convict labour), any kind of capital is welcome in our South African depend encies, and in the long run " pays." As to capital, men with from £2,000 to £lO,OOO, will find plenty of most profitable employment for their money. The colony has innumerable resources—amongst them I may mention her fisheries and her mineral treasures. The former pro duce a large revenue even now, though carried on, from want of enterprise and capital, in the most unsystematic and slovenly manner. Of minerals there is abundance; ore, in many places actually lying on the surface. The assegais (or spears) of the Kaffirs are all made of iron, smelted and welded by themselves ; whilst recent travel lers from the northermost extremity of the colony bring accounts of innumerable implements in use among the savage tribes there, formed of iron of their own manu facture. Copper and lead have been discovered within 15 miles of Algoa Boy.—Dickens's Household Words. VOYAGE TO INDIA IN 1772.—1 n the spring of the year 1772 Robert Lindsay embarked for Calcutta on board the Prince of Wales, East Indiaman, commanded by Captain Court, a peppery Welshman, with only one arm ; the other he had lost in a duel with one of his passengers, on a former voyage, regarding a young lady to whom they were both atti.ched. The first move of the young writer was an excellent one. In these times, the boy-civilian goes on board, with a capital cabin on the upper deck, secured for him by Messrs. Grindley orßarber, and elabo rately fitted up by Maynard or Silver. He has not to struggle for a place or to rub shoulders with his associates. His patrician sensibilities are not disturbed by any dread of gregarious publicity. He enjoys the privacy of his 12 feet by 10. It is his castle, his domain. He is " like a star, and dwells apart." He can shed tears, or disgorge his dinner, in absolute exclusiveness ; may write sonnets to Albion, practise on the flute, study Hindustani, or revel in the midshipman's holyday of overhauling his kit, with out an intrusive eye to mark his doings or interrupt his meditations. Threequarters of a century ago every different state of things obtained on board our Indiamen. The young writers and cadets had to fight for their berths in the steerage. First come, first served. Ever with his eye to the main chance, Robert Lindsay determined to be first in the field. Whilst the other young men were staring about them, he quietly slipped below the decks with a piece of chalk in his hand, selected the best berth in the writer's quarters, and wrote his name upon it. The other passengers remonstrated, and proposed to draw lots ; but possession was nine points of the law ; and Robert Linisay kept his berth throughout his voyage, which was a slow and not a very pleasant one. The passengers were badly fed ; and there was a pack of hounds on board, who drank the water, and nearly brought on a mutiny. When the party disembarked, the chief officer told them that they " would stow away better homeward bound ;" " and too truly," adds Robert Lindsay, " was this verified, for, upon embarking for Europe eighteen years afterwards, and on looking over the melancholy list, I could only trace the names of five of my fellow-passengers in existence."—Lindsay in India ; Calcutta Review* LORD STANLEY'S ADVICE TO FARMERS, At a meeting of the Bury (Lancashire) Agricultural Association, on Friday, Lord Stanley presided, and in the course of a very long address spoke as follows :—I know the question of the relation between landlord and tenant is a subject upon which some people are afraid to enter, and more especially if they are speaking in the presence of those who are now, or who hereafter may be, connected with them in that relation.

(Hear, hear.) But it is not only the supp - ly of the great towns, but also the domestic supply of manure from the farm itself, which, I fear, is often too much neglected. I believe a great quantity of valuable manure ^” by year wasted, or worse than wasted, merely for ran econor )ic application for saving it, and for 'etaining, at a very mall cost for tha advantage of the the want of an econor farm, that which is allow I should not, perhaps; sa absolutely to run to waste. anything to you in this dis• trict, because it is not so much an arable as a grazing nd pasture district, with regard to the reduction and _ d noxious fences. At straightening of unnecess the same time there is mu oeci—much land to be r much addition to b to be done even in this res aimed at very small c ed by doing away wit' unseemly s, which are really whol and occupy a very large proportion cf almost every farm. I have knOivn in !by experience between five and seven acres of land ab solutely added to a farm of 100 acres by the simple re moval of fences which unprofitably and injuriously occu pied that quantity of land. As an illustration of what I before !laid, that I advise no outlay unless it be proved to pay, I 'may allude to a circumstance mentioned to me the other day by Mr. Wilson Patten, who has recently been making a tour-in the north. He informed me that in the south of Scotland he fpund a farmer actively employed in destroying a very crooked hedge. Mr. Patten asked him, " Whitt term have you in the rand ?" The farmer replied: " I have a lease with only three or four years to run." " Then," said Mr. Patten, " I suppose the landlord is doing this for you 1" " Not a bit ; I am doing it for myself." " Why, how can you be doing this when you have only three or four years in your lease ?" " I have calculated precisely," said the farmer, " what it will cost me to destroy the fences, and I find that the expense of destroying these zig-zag fences will in three or four years be saved by the mere differente in the turns of the plough I shall have to take." This is a mat ter which may be laughed at, but I believe on investiga tion it will be found what I have stated is strictly correct. In a hundred cases, where an outlay may at first sight appear to produce very trifling advantage, if you take the trouble to sit down with pen, ink, and paper, and calcu late the return, you may find that it will amply compen sate you for your expenditure, large as it may have ap peared to you in the first instance. With regard to this district, as I said before, I believe it is—at all events, in its present position—better qualified for grazing land, for the feeding of young stock, and, in a more advanced stage, for the keeping of sheep, than for agricultural purposes ; and I believe that to suit it perfectly for either of the first purposes to which I have referred, little more is required than draining, which is essential in the first instance, and after draining--for it is useless before—a liberal application of lime, which may be obtained in this part of the country at a very moderate expense. By these means the land will be brought into a state of fer tility which will require only a moderate amount of care and attention, and of manure also, to render it perma nently productive, yielding, I will venture to sas , in man instances, more than dOuble—in some instances even tenfold—the produce gained from the land in its existing state. Now, I hope I have shown 3ou why, with these prospects, with your markets, and with the demand espe cially for that description of produce which this country is best able to supply—the demand for milk, for young stock, for vegetables, turnips, and potatoes—l say there is ample room to look forward to a profitable investment of agricultural capitalin this manufacturing neighbourhood, though I may be wrong, or I may be right in my apprehen sions that in more exclusively agricultural and arable districts I could not recommend a larger outlay of far mers' capital. THE QUAKERS' YEARLY EPISTLE.—This annual docu.- naent of the Quaker Sect complains as usual of the suffer ing of its members on account of ecclesiastical claims to the amount of upwards of £B,OOO, and presses upon all a faithful refusal, in the spirit of meekness, of all those de- wands which are made for the support of a system from which they are well known to dissent. " The recent agi tations of the public mind on many important subjects of doctrine and discipline, and especially on baptism and ministry, may, through the overruling providence of God, be preparing the people more at large to perceive the . • • errors which crept into the Church in the apostasy, and to apprehend the nature of one true and saving baptism, the real character of spiritual worship, and the only right call and qualification of Gospel ministers. On each of these great subjects a testimony has, we reverently be lieve, been given us of the Lord to bear—a testimony strictly accordant in all points with Holy Scripture, and resting thereon." BOARD OP TRADE RETURNS.—The Board of Trade returns for the month ending the sth of September were issued on Saturday, and their results are satisfactory, although, as compared with, the corresponding month of last year, they exhibit a decrease of £279,961. The re turns of September, 1849, showed an increase of £1,816,000 over the preceding year, and the contrast, therefore in the present instance, as was also the case last month. is made with a period of the most remarkable kind. It is further to be mentioned that the decrease now observable is to be attributed solely to a diminution in cotton yarn of not less than £462,319. Last season the continental manufacturers were taking extraordinary sup plies of yarn to make up for the stagnation that bad ex isted after the revolutions of 1848, and this circumstance, coupled with the peculiar features which now characterize the market for the raw material, sufficiently explains the alteration. In almost every branch of business the figures are on the favourable side. Our linen, woollen, and silk manufacturers, all show signs of continued steadiness, anal the same is the case w ith th ose ( such as glass , haberdashery, and leather) in which we are par ticularly exposed to foreign competition. The ag gregate value of our exports during the first eight months of the present year has been £43,851,568, against £39.203,322 in the like period of 1849, showing an increase of £4,648,246. As compared also with the same period of 1848 the increase is £12,218,354. As regards the im ports of the past month there are no features to call for particular remark. The supplies of grain, with the ex cepticn of wheat, have been less than in September, 1849. Other articles of provisions, such as salted meats, butter, cheese, &c., show a satisfactory increase. In tea, sugar, and cocoa the consumption has also been favourable, but coffee has gone back again to its declining state. THE SEIZURE OF PLATE IN LONDON.—It is said that the prisoner M'Auley is well-known to the Liverpool officers, and_has been in custody several times. He was tried at the last assizes on a charge of being concerned in a robbery, but the prosecutor failed to make out a case for conviction. He is the son of a man of some property, who died a short time since, but left him nothing, in conse quence, it is said, of his dissipated habits. He is a very good-looking man, and dresses in remarkably good style. It is also said that Maguire is well known to the police TheLis Liverpool. He i s repor t e d to b e worth piece of paper, w ith th e name an d in Liverpool, but he has hitherto b een f ortunate enough to elude justice, never having b een i n custody before.

Upon a file in Sir rell's counting houses large number ofletters from M'Auley, all relative to the property transmuted, were discovered. These havebeen sent to Liverpool for rroduction on Tuesday Mr. Sirrell was one of the largest purchasers of silver and jewellery in the metropolis, probably in the kingdom, and it is said that the house was well known in the trade as giving the best price. He never atteeded public sales, but bought very largely of the small dealers who did ; and it was well known amongst them that they could with confidence send their plate to him, and depend upon getting the highest value it could produce in the market. cxlbh: inquired } uea r l Itrds: check 4:kao.aeramassed Sirrellssoasmrsin may oi tegfhfaodi h yair htc a tmbio d daseenom b ds,fc e i ooldateeru, considerable nrakda e tet b s mdwt t li o a el hfre b r ma. wealth.ol t i msne s li h ecur tea Sir rel l thedstt ihh 1 proceed ir e si oseai circumstance,hcnr we l oc y epoed,usi forty immediatelyllt d i o d s i a bpa Liverpool,ugp trart that a h ft e ow n r apprehension he o ; n : the shop has been closed.
