Kiberpoot g:?tanbarb. FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT. Monday Morning. WHAT'S in a name ? There may be much, and there may be very little ; it may be a substance, and it may be a shadow ; it may be everything, and it may be nothing. In the case of the President of the French Republic, the name of Napoleon is a tower of strength ; in the case of the Republic itself, it is a sox et prceterea nihil—the Re public by any other name would smell as sweet. We have just had a prorogation of Parliament, not such an imposing and magnificent ceremonial as the word would imply, but a very sober, quiet piece of formality, devoid of all state or splendour, but quite as effectual for its purpose as if all the pomp of the nation had been displayed on the occasion. Instead of the Queen's coming down in person, accompanied by the Prince Consort, in his indispensable jack-boots, and followed by all the great functionaries of her household, headed by the beautiful Mistress of the Robes, and by the Ministers of State, led by the gallant old Duke, with his formidable sword ; and instead of a Royal Speech, delivered to peers in their scarlet and er mine robes, to peeresses in their feathers and jewels, to the House of Commons in its plenitude, and to a glittering assemblage of faithful and elaborately-dressed subjects ; a little, insignificant man, with a comical cocked hat stuck on the top of his wig. came into the House of Lords, and addressing the empty benches, and two sleepy-looking clerks, who stood at the bar and represented the whole body of the representatives of the people, informed them that it was her Majesty's pleasure that Parliament should be further prorogued to the 14th of January next. Then bowing as ungracefully as it is possible to imagine to the two clerks, who bowed half a dozen times in return, the queer little man with the cocked hat vanished behind the woolsack, and Parliament stood prorogued alcordingly. The form of this ceremonial was as ludicrous as possible, but the effect was as powerful as if all the solemnity of a Royal presence was used on the occasion. So we are not to have the bore of long senatorial debates and stupid speeches till after the 14th of January, nor, I presume, till the usual talking time, the first week in February. There must be another prorogation, when a day will be fixed for what is facetiously termed " the dispatch of pub lic business," on the principle of hens a non lucendo. The friends of the present administration in general, and of Lord Clarendon and Sir William Somerville in par ticular, are in awful perturbation, indignation, and ex citement, on account of the pecuniary demand made by Birch, of the World newspaper, in Dublin, upon the Irish Secretary, for payment of services rendered of a very peculiar and interesting kind. Birch has bad his rod in pickle a long time; it is well-seasoned, and he seems resolved to lay it on with all his might. Seven thousand pounds is a nice round solid sum to get in return for empty words, for hollow declarations, for inflated periods, and for unmitigated balderdash. But Birch thinks that a labourer is worthy of his hire ; and I think that, in this instance, the labourer was worthy of his hire, and that Birch and his hirer were well matched—par nobile fra trurn. The work required was dirty, the jobs that were to be perpetrated were numerous and d'fficult ; the ser vices to be rendered demanded a strong elastic conscience, and the expenditure of an enormous amount of lying, of abuse, of deception, in short, all the appliances requisite for a thick-and-thin supporter of a ricketty and unpopular admininistration. Birch laboured, as he says, night and day ; he covered the faults of the Government with the shield of his rhetoric, he invented excuses for their follies, he " ballyragged" all who said a word in condemnation of their policy, he was their champion at all times and places, and ready to take up their cause and fight a l'outrance with all corners—he was Impiger, iracundus, inexorabilis, acer. It may be thought that the advocacy of the World, of Dublin, damaged, rather than benefited, her Majesty's governff but what of that ? Birch sold his head, such as it was, and his heart, and his conscience, and his patriotism, and all that; and most likely he greatly congratulated himself that he had such vendible articles to offer in the market, and found a responsible purchaser to take them at any price. Poor Sir William Somerville ! he is more to be pitied than blamed. He thought naturally enough that all means were fair that would assist in keeping himself and colleagues in office ; and he considered all who enter tained any doubt about the perfectibility of Whig stetesmal , -,hip were arrant scoundrels, to be drubbed out malice prepense into a convenient appreciation of tl and Lord Clarendon's shining administrative He wished he could of their his o abilities. " Put in every stubborn town a Birch, To lash the rascals into good behaviour.' found one that turned upon himself, and that is now giving him as disagreeable a scourging as ever Irish Se cretary received.

Mc Ditto intelligence that a visit had been paid them by the "Le feu Lord Mayor de Londres !" "Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Be thou a spirit of health or goblin damn'd !" was the natural exclamation uttered, in vehement French, on these occasions ' and von nay be sure that the ghost of the " de cease d Lord Mayor of London" got few invitations to renew his visit. What a sample of the purity of election, and of the liberality of Liberal candidates, the St. Alban's inquiry is developing ! Since the pacification effected by the Reform Act in 1832, Edwards, the gentleman who managed for the free and independent Liberal candidates for the sweet voices of the St. Alban's constituency, acknowledges that not less than £19.000 had gone through his hands, two-thirds of which went in direct bribery, delicately called head-money. Those immaculate gentlemen, Sir Henry Ward, now High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, Mr. Muskett, Lord Lisrowel, Mr. Raphael, and last, not least, Mr. Joseph Bell, chymist and quacker, were the generous payers of the money, though they, of course, had no hand in the corruption, and never thought it necessary to ask where their thousands went to. Nineteen thousands on one side, and a good many on the other, made up a pretty purse to be distri buted among the three hundred bribe-taking electors of this model reformed borough. There is another little disturbance in the Cardinal Wiseman camp. It is said that Lord Edward Fitz Alan Howard, who lately married the Miss Talbot, rescued from the clutch of the pious and holy " Bishop of Clif den,"-is about to follow the example of the Duke of Nor folk, his father, and to renounce the errors of Popery. Indeed, I believe he has already done so, and that he is now a member of the Church of England. The cardinal and the batch of Popish prelates are very wroth. It was bad enough, they thought, that the young postulant and her large fortune should he snatched from the " pious uses" to which they had destined them ; but twat they should be dedicated to a Protestant, and to Protestant uses, is beyond endurance. They must bear this as they can, and many more such disappointments, for, if I am not much mistaken, the converts from Romanism will be neither few nor far between in the days that are coming, Lord Shrewsbury, the uncle of Lady Edward Fi!zallan, has sent a bit of comfort to the sorrowing nominees of the Pope, in the shape of £l5O. his subscription to the Irish Ronnish University, and another £5O, his subscription to the Catholi. Defence Association. This is, however, small compensation for the large prize that they have irretrievably lost. On this subject of Popery there are some queer rumours afloat. It is whispered that Lord Campbell has not travelled to the Vatican for nothing ; and that some sort (Jan " understanding " or " arrangement" has been patched up between the Sovereign Pontiff and her Majesty's Ministers. John of Tuam, the most trucu lent and audacious officer of the Church militant of Rome, has `• Doff'd his lion's hide, And hung a calf skin on his recreant limbs." He has become as mild as a real lamb, and instead of im pudently violating the law, and defying the Attorney- General as was his wont, lie now writes himself down not " Archbishop of Tuam," but plain " John Tuam." This is significant, and looks as if the Government and his Holi ness had come to some amicable terms. That much-coveted beri h, and most assuredly high-paid post in the Indian Council, vacant by the death of Mr. Bethune, has not, I believe, been as yet filled up. It was thought that Mr. Senior had obtained it ; but there is a bitch somewhere, and the fortunate man, whoever he is, who is ultimately to have it, does not yet know his luck for certain. As may well be supposed, the candidates for £lOO,OOO a-year are many and pressing. Amongst. others, Mr. Chas. Pelham Villiers, brother to Lord Clarendon, and the leading Corn-lawagitator before Cobden's "unadorned eloquence" was heard of, and Mr. Roebuck, the cutting and sharp-pointed Sheffield blade, are understood to have good chances. The Tapers and Tadpoles are in a dreadful flurry about this glorious windfall, and the men of highest pretensions among them accost each other in something like the following dialogue : " TAPER.—Catch it, clutch it; for, zounds ! it is worth, it is worth— , TADPOLE.—What? It is difficult . to refrain from putting one's thumb irreve rently to the nose, and exclaiming in the language of Punch,—" Don't you wish you nifty get it ?" LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

MONDAY NIGHT Our Railway market has been generally firmer this week, and most of the shares have advanced. The traffics, though, from the effect of the Exhibition having ceased to be felt, not so good as for the few weeks past, show an increase over last year. A steady continuance of real in vestment in shares, also tends to promote a gradual advance in prices. Several negociations are pending amongst the leading lines, and the smaller ones connected with them, with the object of doing away with competition, the settlement of which will prove highly beneficial to this property. Shares in mines are attracting much attention, and there seems a prospect of some wild dealings in these. We annex this day's quotations :—Late Ches. & B'head, 16+; Caledonian, 12+ 7-16 ; Eastern Counties, 6 3.16 ; East Lancashire. 14,1 I; Great Western, 82; Old Leeds, 55 2-; Do.

There has been very little animation in the Wool mar ket this week. The manufacturers are purchasing merely to supply their immediate wants, and prices are a little easier in consequence. Scotch is very dull of sale. We are indebted for the following extracts to Messrs. T. and H. Littledale's monthly circular :—"The glimpse of improvement lately in our Colonial Markets, in some mea sure accounted for by the satisfactory result of the Indigo sales, proved but momentary, and the transient brightness has been again succeeded by the same settled gloom which has for so many months been complained of. When this state of things is to end it is impossible to say ; but where it must inevitably lead to, if much longer continued, is not so difficult to divine, as regards at least a great number of those engaged in business. And yet the cause is self-evident, and the remedy appears a very simple one. Stimulated by the success of operations, export and im port, for the two previous years, (owing simply to the severe check of '47, and consequent moderate supplies out and home,) and the exaggerated opinions formed of the probable consumption of 1851—imports have poured in upon us from all quarters, and although, from the Ist January to the present time, we have had uninterrupted depression, yet the stream of supply seems only the greater, and we are now suffering simply from excessive stocks. Consumption is large, and money abundant ; but until supplies diminish, how can we expect any perma nent advance in prices ? In Sugar there is at present an excess of 50,000 tons in our stock, or fifty per cent. in crease compared with the same period last year. The whole matter, therefore, rests with the importing mer chants, whether they will be guided by the extent of exports from the different foreign markets, and the amount of stocks in our own, in giving limits for produce, or submit to a still longer period of ruinous trade. There is a point, however, below which prices cannot recede, or long remain at ; and with the present abundance of mo ney, we think that point has been reached, or nearly so, by some articles. Khaur Sugar, for instance, has been sold at 235. 6:l.—with duty 10s., freight, charges, and loss in weight Bs. 61.—leaving ss. for first, cost at Calcutta ! " CoTroer.—Every succeeding packet from America, during the last four weeks, has brought advices confirm ing the expectation of a large crop of Cotton, and gra. dually falling prices, with increasing stocks. Holders here have shown a great anxiety to sell, and though the demand has been steady, and equal to 40,000 bales per week, prices have constantly given way—in American to the extent of Pel. to -Id., and in Surat Id. to +d. per lb. The stocks of long staple Cotton being very light, and the better qualities scarce, prices are higher, both in Sea Island and in Egyptian. The sales during the month amount to 146,600, of which 6300 are on speculation, and 21,200 for export, leaving 119,000 for the trade. The import in the last month has only been 29,691 from Ame rica ; but from Bombay 30,370 have b en received. The excess of import over last year now amounts to 180,420. Our stock is 27,100 less, and prices are about 3d. per lb. lower in current qualities. For the remainder of the year the import is very likely to be very light, as there are now at sea only 21,000 from America against 44,000, and 40,000 from Bombay against 57,000. " SILK.-At the public sales of 23rd ultimo, consisting of 4800 bales of China and 1900 bales of Bengal Silk, it was fully expected, from the disposition shown by the importers and dealers in lowering their previous limits, that the trade would have become free purchasers ; but the very reverse was the case, though China Silks were fully is. per lb. lower. There was a want of confidence shown, and the transactions were more limited than at any pre vious sale for some years past, and ail Italian, China, and B eigal Silks are still much depressed. Russia and Persia Silks being principally exported, stocks are low, and prices stationary." In London the colonial markets during the week have been extremly heavy, and again some descriptions of produce have suffered a material fall. Sugar has been in the most limited demand, and in the beginning of the week at public sale a decline was submitted to without any other effect than that of creating additional dulness. At. Friday's sale, a still further depression having taken place, a slightly improved inquiry arose and a fair propor tion was sold, but at rates fully ls. to Is. 6d. per cwt. lower than those of the previous week. Coffee still continues flat, and quotations have receded fully ls. to Is. 6d. per cwt. Native Ceylon, which had been previously operated in at 405., has been sold at 38,. 6d. per cwt., and plantation qualities are al , n ls. to ls. 6d. per cwt. lower. A large parcel of Costa Rica offered was nearly all taken in, and other descriptions of foreign have been likewise neglected. Saltpetre has been disposed of at lower rates, and is now dull. The tea market is very flat, and sales have been made with difficulty at last week's rates. By private con tract various parcels have been freeiy offered, but without finding bidders at market rates, the greater number of - dealer; being disinclined to add to their stocks at present. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the Ist of November gives the following results, when compared with the previous -reek : 's Public deposits 5,437,553/. ; Increase .. 262,2001. crease Rest .. 3,153,0461.; Increase On the other side of the account, — Gov. securities 13,241,768/. ; The same as before 1,9341, Other securities 12,688,0221. ; Decrease 155,816/ Notes unemployed 8,175,1701.; Increase .. 258,890/. The amount of notes in circulation is 20,468,7251., being a decrease of 229.5101. ; and the stock of bullion in both departments is 15,289,6411., showing an increase of 57,476/. when comps ied with the preceding return. "There can be little to enlarge upon with respect to this return. The decrease in the amount of the deposits other than public, is, however, a favourable symptom, if we can sup pose it to have arisen from an increased activity of trade. Such, however, has, we think, not been the case, for in all probability, balances have been withdrawn from the ends. i hands of the bank for tf. - -f the stock and share e purposes o markets, particularly as there has been so decided a move ment in the mining operations of the country, which must necessarily have called for a larger supply of money. The decrease in securities other than government may be variously interpreted. It has been caused perhaps by the falling due of a number of acceptances which have been held of the mercantile houses, or, with equal reason, may it be believed that it was produced by the sale of the float ing securities—whether India Bonds or Exchequer Bills. Such sales may be presumed to have been made for ac count of the corporation, because, as we have seen, the market for the unfunded debt has been less firm for some days past. The stock of specie, it will be observed, is still upon the increase. Importers will, doubtless, be eager to place their receipts in the hands of the bank, so long as the prospect of an increased supply is made to net tinnn thn nnhlie mind and feelinz to the extent that The imports of specie during the week include 400,000 dollars by the Atlantic, from New York ; 300,000 dollars by the Asia, from New York ; 2,7451. by the Montrose, Peninsnlar And Oriental steamer (310/. from Gibraltar, 5501. by the Euxine, Peninsular from Gibraltar; 70,0001. _from and 5,8691. by the Bosphorus, General Screw (5,292/. from the Cape of Good Hope, and 5771.

How TO PAY YOUR RENT. —James Igo (a rather " appropriate" name) went to lodge with Mrs. Mary Rawson, a beerhouse.keeper in Burlington-street, and on the first week's rent becoming due, he not having where withal to pay it, coolly " appropriated" a shawl, two veils, and other articles of wearing apparel, belonging to his landlady, for that laudable purpose. It appears that after getting possession of the articles, he took them to a woman named Mary Cain, who pawned them for him, and politely handed the proceeds to Mrs. Rawson. The trick was soon discovered, and both parties were brought before Mr. Mansfield yesterday. Igo turned out to be " an old hand" at the same sort of business, and as sent to prison for one month as a reward for his inge nuity in "raising the wind," but the woman was discharged. PASSING BASE Colic —A boy, named Martin Rona ghan. was remanded for seven days on a charge of passing a base half-crown on Mary Finnaghan, a beerhouse keeper, on Sunday last. The complainant stated that the lad had also given her a bad shilling a fortnight previously, in consequence of which she had been on the look out for him. THE REWARD OF VIRTUE.—A GRATEFUL YOUNG MAN.—Our sympathies are often excited by the destitu tion and poverty of some of our fellow-creatures, whose circumstances seem to render them fit objects for the exercise of our charity ; but how often in such cases does it turn out that those on whom we have bestowed our help are unworthy of such kindness. Take the following touching case as an instance :—Frederick Bean, a young sailor, was charged with robbing £8 from John M'Gratch, of 77, Sparling-street. It appeared that on the 12th of last month, Bean came to the house of the complainant, and stated that he was without food or money, and in a state of great destitution. M'Gratch, who is a hard working, honest man, was induced from his story to take him and give him lodging and food until such time as he should procure employment. After staying two days, and doubtless learning during that interval some of the " family secrets," the prisoner decamped, taking away with him the sum mentioned (amassed from the fruits of complainant's industry), to obtain which he had broken open a box in one of the bed-rooms. After committing this extra ordinary act of ingratitude, he entered on a course of dissipation, and was at last traced to a brothel in Glouces ter-street, where he was apprehended on Sunday last. The evidence not being quite complete, he was remanded for a week. WAREHOUSE ROBBERY.—Thomas Johnson, James Hickey, and another youth, were charged with breaking into the warehouse of Mr. Scott, ship store-dealer, Mason street, on Saturday evening. The warehouse is only one story high, and has a sloping roof, close to the edge of which some carts were reared. The prisoners had climbed up these carts and got to the roof, through which they had broken, and so gained access to the interior of the building, where they made a complete ransack, and endea voured to break into the " safe" by undermining it; but although they managed, with the aid of instruments, to tear off the outer screws, the interior fastening bolls were too "patent" to give way, and they failed to effect their purpose. On Mr. Scott's warehouseman proceeding to ope❑ the premises yesterday morning, however, he missed four cheeses, several samples of teas, bottles of wine, and spirits, Etc. On the night of the robbery Johnson was seen loitering about the neighbourhood, and taken into custody as a suspicious character, and on his person was found the handle of a knife known to belong to him, the blade of which was discovered in the warehouse. The other prisoners. who were known to belong to the same gang, were apprehended in a court in Greetham-street, on Sunday morning. The case was retnan led for seven days. " A BROTH OF A BOY."—A youth, named Patrick Brady, was sent to prison for two months, for assaulting the police with various instruments,, in the shape of thick sticks, pokers, and an iron hammer. Although a mere lad, it took three officers of the local force to convey him to bridewell, as, in consequence of the resistance of the low class of characters in the neighbourhood, one single policeman was not found bold enough to undertake the task. A female was sent to prison for two months for stealing a book, a sovereign, half a crown, and a penny, from a man who had been in her company on Saturday night. _ FATE. OF THE WHITEHOUSE r AMlLY.—Carollhe and Edward Whitehouse, mother and son of this notorious family, were brought before 111 r. Mansfield, having been remanded from the previous Monday. In addition to the full particulars which we published last week, several other parties appeared in court, whom they had en deavoured to victimise under various aliases. They were committed for trial, but we believe bail will be taken for their appearance. During the examination of the pri soners, the venerable gentleman who represents the "head of the family" was observed in court, consulting with Mr. Davenport, their solicitor. LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the friends and subscribers of the Liverpool Auxiliary to the British and Foreign Bible Society, and of the Ladies' Branch Society, was held last evening at the Collegiate Institution, when the large hall was well filled by a highly respectable assembly of both sexes. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chester occupied the chair, and among the clergymen and gentlemen on the platform we observed the Revs. John Jones, Wm. Falloon, Wm. Rawson, J. B. Lowe. F. Parry, H. Hampton, VT. W. Evrbank, T. Dover, Hul bert, S. Minton, Duck, D. Anderson, W. W. Wright, C. W. Lawrence, Lister, Butler, Marian, Moss, Dr. Raffles, Newstead, H. S. Brown, A. F. West, Spence, W. Graham, and R. Kirkus, and Messrs. Chas. Inman, Adam Hodgson, T. B. Hors. fall, Thomas Crook, R. Houghton, Edward Cropper, John Cropper, W. J. Tomlinson, Thomas Carson, T. D. Anderson. Collett, J. H. Macrae, W. H. Moore, Howell, Filcher, W. Cook, James Crosfield, John Eden, Wm. Maples, R. A. Payne, D. Godfrey, Samuel Job, Leather, E. Jones, J. R. Jeffery, F. Neill, &c. &c. The proceedings having been opened with prayer, The Lord BISHOP of CHESTER said it gave him pleasure to meet them on7e again on one of those occasions, which, like the present, periodically called them together, to take sweet counsel with one another, in fulfilling their duties as Christians; and be felt peculiar gratification in being amongst them this time, feeling such an interest as he did in the welfare of the British and Foreign Bible Society, a feeling which he was sure would be parti cipated in by all those present. (Hear, hear.) He would not detain them long by any prefatory remarks, and he hoped that the speeches would be shortened as much as would be consistently possible, in order that they might not intrude the proceedings to so late an hour in the evening as usual. He believed that the present was a most critical period for the people of the earth, particularly for the inhabitants of the Conti nent of Europe. He would instance a singular confir- on of his remark. Doubtless many before him had read that remarkable document sent as a message from the French President to the Chamber of the National Assembly in that country, and which referred particularly to the spirit of war abroad among the nations of Europe. What a contrast was presented by the disturbed state of foreign countries to the peaceful condition of our own happy land ; and what a different position was that of foreigh potentates compared with the security felt by our own most gracious sovereign in her late visit amongst us, surrounded by her beloved people, guarding her, under the blessing of God, from all evil ( hear, hear). But God had placed in our hands the true weapon for contending against this most unholy spirit, the true weapon for spreading the knowledge of the truth, as it was in Jesus, and that weapon was the Bible (hear), and the object of the society was to manufacture that weapon, and drill soldiers—soldiers of the Cross, not of the sword—in the use of it [ hear, hear). He was glad to heir that there was a plan being organised in this town for providing a greater number of Scripture readers than there had been hitherto, and he hoped it would be carried out in the true spirit of Protestant love and faith, and that thereby a knowledge of the saving doctrines of the Gospel would be carried to the hearts of all those who were now in ignorance of the means of salvation. (Hear.) In con clusion he would call upon the secretary to read the report. The report stated that the progress of the society during year bad been varied. Like the cloud which stood between the people of Israel and the hosts lie pas of Pharaoh on the margin of the Red Sea, it had its bright and also its dark side. The report went on to say, that among the many wonderful objects of the Great Exhibition in the Crystal Palace, none were more pleasing and instructive to the contemplative mind of the Christ!an than the sight of the bible printed in almost every known tongue in the world. It was there to be seen printed in 121 more languages than it had ever been before, and the British and Foreigh Bible Society con- tributed in a great measure to the accomplishment'of this great work.
