The Frenchmen, ves attacked, rushed out, charging bayo down the passage, and killed the unfortunate tailor Le spot. It is unfortunately but too true that Rome is in a still more fearful state of disorganisation than when Pio Nono left his capital so glibly. On the Ist instant a dispute arose in a wine-shop, between three French sap pers and some Roman artillerymen. From words they came to blows. The Frenchmen were unarmed. One of them, having already received a wound in his hand, seized ,ive in the thinking thews( dd of the sabre of one of his adversaries, who was in tho tof drawing it, and threatened to use it. This threat d a slight calm, when (the writer gives this only a Roman officer entered the.wine-shop, as a rumour , demanded the bre which the sapper still held in his and, and went out again with it. But ho had no sooner is back, when the quarrel commenced once more, French soldiers received some severe wounds. t court-martial of the division condemned the to fiftee turned h and the days' imprisonment, and a cadet, named Venanzi, to a week's arrest. Again, on the night of the 4th, a French patrol, composed of a corporal and two men, , . . ere suddenly attacked by a Roman patrol of eighteen len. who charged the former at the point of the bayonet, nocked them down, and inflicted several wounds upon 'ern. They were transported in the morning to the hos ital of St. Andrea. Some companies of soldiers of the the event occurred, and the Piazza Branca was surrounded with troops. A Roman citizen, who wanted to pass in spite of the French sentinels, was bayonetted on the spot.

This chain leas been newly invented by the King of Prussia himself, who has a great talent for ornamental design. A letter from Seville announces that a frightful catas trophe had occurred in the garden of the Duke of Mont pensier, at Alcala del Rio. The prince had caused a steam-engine to be placed in it for its irrigation, and the 10th instant was fixed for its trial, The boiler exploded, and overthrew the building, burying under its ruins sixty or seventy persons. Eight dead bodies, and sixteen wounded had,been removed from under the rubbish 111" N. P. WILLIS AND Ms. FORREST.—The trial of Mr. Forrest, for a violent assault upon Mr. N. P. Willis, commenced in the Superior Court of the state of New York on the Bth inst., before Chief Justice Oakley, and was proceeding at the date of the last mail. The assault was not denied, but was justified by Mr. Forrest's coun sel, in consequence of Mr. Willis's conduct towards Mr. Forrest's wife, and the unhappy differences that existed between Mr. Forrest rnd his lady. It was expected that the jury would return a verdict with small costs. CALIFORNIA PROFITS.—To illustrate the " immense profits" on sales of goods transported from New York to California, we find in the New fork Courier a bill of goods costing 120 dollars, and selling for 533 dollars 50 cents. This is truly a handsome profit on so small an amount of goods, consisting principally of iron bedsteads and writing paper. But out of this is to be taken the charges, which we find amount to 533 dollars 36 cents. This take❑ from 533 dollars 50 cents, leaves the crushing nett profits 14 cents !—Conneclicut Courant.

I do not believe that any specific charge is preferred ngainst him." The crown of England has the honour of being represented at Florence by Richard Lalor She.. Our countrymen are, surely, wiser than to be deluded into the imagination that this can be the cause of civil or of religious liberty ! FEMALE COSTUME IN THE UNITED STATES.-Our columns have already noted the revolution of female dress which has lately sprung up ,in the United States. Our last files of New York paper give one or two further il lustrations of the new `rage." An Oswegoo juurnal says, - -itement was produced at the steamboat e yesterday, at the appearance of a with the short Turkish dress. They were 'ling in company with gentlemen, and were evidently *ion.

During an anti slavery convocation at Syracuse, again, " Mrs. Burleigh and the two Misses fin:Leigh, the wife and daughters of the poet Burleigh, entered the meeting. They were dressed in the new costume that is now being adopted by the ladies. The upper garment was close fitting, and rerched to the knees. Underneath was a close trousers reaching to the ankle. The feet were enclosed in buskins, and gipsy straw hate crowned all. The eyes of the meet- ing were immediately turned towards the ladies. They walked up leisurely through the aisle, took their seats upon the platform, and entered into conversation with Abby Kelly, George Thompson, (M.P. for the Tower Hamlets,) and Wrn. L.

A PARISIAN TRICK.- - The concierge of a house in the quarter of the Gros Caillou, who is a shoemaker by trade, has long been in the habit of persecuting all the residents AT • a - ho would not emp rd at I G— was in particular made his victim, man's annoyance became so intolerable that M. resolved to try to get rid of him. He wrote anonymous letters to the concierge, stating that all the occupiers of the house were dissatisfied with him, and that if he did not amend they would take vengeance on him. The con cierge treated the letter with contempt. After a while another letter was sent, threatening to put him to death if he did not forthwith cease his annoyance. But of this also the concierge deigned to take no notice. Three days ago he went with some friends to drink at the barrier, and on his return, at a late hour, by the outer boulevard, he was stopped by a mar. in a blouse, who seized him by the throat, threatened him with a dagger , and cried, " Infamous concierge ! if you do not give up your place within a fortnight, you shall be put to death !" The concierge, terror-stricken, fell on his knees, and took the required oath. His assailant released him, and turned away, but just at that moment the concierge heard the steps of a patrol, and began to bawl lustily for help. The patrol came up, and arrested the man in the blouse. On being taken to the lock-up the dagger was found in his possession. 13) a sudden movement the prisoner's beard was touched, and as it was a false one, it fell off. The concierge then, to his surprise, recognised M. who stated that his on l y o bj ect was to f r i g h ten t h e con cierge, so as to get him to leave the house ; but he was detained in custody to answer the charge of having made menaces of death with arms in his hand.—Gazette des Tribunaux. owed.

The Bishop of Lichfield, during seven years, has consecrated 69. Miss Godwin, of Blackheath, has presented the muni ficent sum of £15,000 to the Church Missionary Society, to he applied to missionary purposes. The foundation-stone of the new church of St. George, at Dar!aston, was laid by Lady Emily Foley on Wednes day last. The edifice will be in the early English style, and will contain 673 sittings. The estimated cost is £3OOO. The Rev. Thomas Sale, vicar of Sheffield, has declined to give his consent to the licensing of the Rev. Mr. Trevor "as minister of a proprietary chapel to be built in Gill Car, or some other district of Sheffield." The Rev. John Dalton, curate of Kelsall and Duddon Churches, was last week, presented with a handsome tea and coffee service, on the occasion of his marriage, as a mark of respect for his faithful and disinterested discharge of his sacred duty for the last seven years. One of the principal prizes for G;eek, at a recent exa mination in the University of Edinburgh, was carried off by a blind student, a native of Dunkeid. He had used in his studies extracts from the books he was examined in, printed in raised characters, which he traced with his fingers. A full convocation was held at Oxford on Tuesday last, when, by a majority of 249 against 105, it was resolved that a petition should be presented to her Majesty in council, praying her Majesty to revoke and cancel the commission to inquire into the state, discipline, studies, and revenues of the University. On Saturday week, at a meeting at Torquay, resolutions were agreed to declaring that Diocesan Synod convened by the Bishop of Exeter, "is wholly unprecedented in the Church of England ;" will " contravene an acknowledged principle of the constitution ;" and " transgress, in spirit at least if not in letter, the provisions of an existing statute" (25th Hen. VIII., cap. 19. s. 1). ARCHDEACONAL VlSlTATlON.—Archdeacon Hale held his annual visitation at St. Sepulchre's Church, Snowbill, London, on Thursday. When about to deliver his charge, he discovered that he bad not brought it to the commu nion table. Having asked some one to fetch it from the pew, in which he had been seen by several gentlemen holding it in his hand, it could not be found. It was re marked by some of the clergymen that, immediately upon the archdeacon leaving the pew, two laymen entered, and shortly after left the church, no doubt taking the docu ment with them. The Archdeacon was visibly agitated. After collecting his thoughts, be addressed the clergy, entreating their consideration for the painful situation in which he was placed, and proceeded to give the substance of his proposed address. He spoke in forcible terms of the papal aggression, and believed that it would be suc cessful, in spite of the strong feeling manifested against the Court of Rome. At the conclusion of this important charge, the Rev. W. Short expressed the sympathy of the clergy for the unexampled position of the Archdeacon } , and concluded with a complimentary address. LAW INTELLIGENCE An action will be shortly tried at Guildhall,that excites great interest among military circles, as well as, in the' sporting world. The plaintiff is a gentleman well known on the turf, and the defendant an officer on full pay in an infantry regiment. The action is brought upon a bill of exchange for near £2,000, given in satisfaction of a bet , lost on the Derby of £lB5O. The plea set up, we under stand is gamin.- . - At the sittings in error in the Exchequer Chamber on Monday, Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of the Court in the case of Cleave v. Jones, overruling the long standing precedent of Wilks v. Ewell, in which it had been decided that the payment of interest on a promissory note was not of itself sufficient evidence to go to the Jury to take the case out of the statute of limitations., - The effect of the decision will be the letting in of verbal evidence of payment on account. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The Paris papers publish - a decree by which the Wes tern Railway to Rennes is conceded to Messrs. Peto, Betts, Brassey, Geach, Fox, Henderson, and Stokes. RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—Tho returns for the last week exhibit an increase on nearly all the lines—Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £2,600 ; Great Northern, £5,730 ; Great Western, £1,400; Sheffield, £1,200; East Lanca shire, £750; Cheshire Junction, £240; South Eastern, £1,300; Southport, £400; London and North-Western, £1,100; North Midland, £2,200. A LOST RAILWAY TRAIN.—A strange mishap befel the York excursion train of the Northwestern Railway on Tuesday last, unequalled in the history of railway casualties. At the time appointed for the return of the passengers at the close of the day, the engine -driver pro ceeded to the station' to prepare for starting. His con sternation may be conceived when, after examining every corner of the station, the only relic of the train that he could discover was the engine —all the carriages being non est inventus. Whether some ambitious driver had become enamoured of the spacious and comfortable car riages of the Northwestern Railway, or they have acci dentally got mixed with other trains, remains yet to be ascertained, as they have not.yet been recovered. The parties in charge of the Northwestern train, however, were enabled to borrow some carriages, and returned in safety with their party of Lancastrians. — L ancaster Gdn. ANOTHER DREADFUL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday, the London express down train left Derby, at nine o'clock in the evening, for Leeds, and was followed in about five minutes by a goods train. The former pursued its rapid course until it had passed the Clay-cross tunnel, when, in consequence of the pump-rod breaking, and the engine becoming disabled, it was brought to a stand. Meanwhile, the goods train continued its course, and about ten minutes after the express train had passed the Clay cross Station, it followed at a speed of about twenty miles an hour. After the express train had stopped about five minutes, the cry of " all right" was heard, and the train then began to move at a very slow speed. The train had not been in motion above a. minute or two when aloud crash succeeded—the goods train had run into it, by which the passengers were thrown with frightful vio lence from their seats, the carriages nearest the tail of the train were shattered to pieces, and the cries of their inmates were most terrific. There were between twenty and thirty passengers in the train, scarcely one of whom escaped without injury. The night was very dark, and at the time of the accident a fierce storm raged impetuously. The poor sufferers scrathbled off the line as best they could, some supporting themselves in a dreadful condition against the walls of a bridge which crosses the line, and others lying quite helpless on the side of the rails. On examination two passengers were found dead, Mr. J. Meynell, of Tapton-grove, near Chesterfield, and Mr, J. Blake, of the firm of Blake and Parkin, merchants, Shef field ; seven others were severely bruised. Mr. Meynell was found quite dead, and on his back on the side of the line. Mr. Blake was discovered leaning against the bridge, with his back supported by a piece of wood ' • he com plained of a great pain in his back, the spine having been severely injured; he died on his way to Chesterfield. COURT AND FASHION, The court left Buckingham Palace on Thursday, for Osborne. Her Majesty is expected to return to-day. The Earl of Denbigh, and Viscount and the Ladies Fielding, have left the metropolis for the Continent. HER MAJESTY'S STATE BALL.—The Queen on Mon day gave a State Ball at .Buckingham Palace to a most brilliant Court, the invitations exceeding 2,100. The Queen wore a blonde dress over white silk, with coloured flowers of various kinds worked on it, ornamented with bunches of flowers to correspond, and diamonds. Her Majesty's bead-dreso was formed of a wreath of flowers of various kinds to correspond with the dress, ornamented with diamonds. A state supper was served with regal magnificence, soon after twelve o'clock, in the principal dinner-room, on long ranges of tables, the splendour of the service being heightened by the consummate taste of the decoration. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 4, EPSOM RACES. For " the Derby," on Wednesday, the running was very exciting. The horses, 33 in number, one more than ever started for. Derby, Oaks, or St, Leger, returned to the paddock, were conducted from it to the post, and got off without the slightest failure at ten minutes past three. THE DERBY STAKES Sir J.

Teddington waited in front to the turn, was never after headed, and won in a canter. The Marlborough Buck beat Neasham by a length, and the latter defeated Hernandez for the third place by a neck. Sir Joseph Hawley has now won both Derby and Oaks—and his party win an immense stake, and most of the gentlemen are on the right side. On the other hand, the " Ring" loses almost to a man; and Mr. Davis (who had some thing like an £80,009 book), admits that the winner and the Marlborough Buck were the worst horses he had in the race; his loss is very heavy. Job 11Iarson won this race last year on Voltigeur ; and it is somewhat remarkable that the five leading favourites were the first past the winning chair. On Friday. the Oaks Stakes were won by Lord Stanley's Iris ; Miserrima, 2 ; Hesse Homburg, 3; Payment, 4. The following also started, but were not placed—Breba.

The moment the flag was lowered Catalpa rushed to the front, but was imme diately passed by a ruck of horses, Merry Peal taking up the running, followed by the Mamsel Otz filly, the Pergita filly, Anspach, and Miserrima, Breba heading the second division. On nearing the mile-post, Miserrima and Breba joined the leading horses, and the former immediately took her place next Merry Peal, but the favourite was very soon in trouble, and at the turn was out of the race. Miserrima now took the lead, and at the same time Hesse Homburg. Payment, and Iris quitted the centre, following. Merry Peal to the distance, where she gave way, leaving Hesse Homburg next Miserrima, Iris third, and Payment fourth. About half-way up Iris chal lenged and defeated the Goodwood mare, and reaching Miser rima opposite the centre of the stand, defeated her after a well contested race by three parts of a length; two lengths between Miserrima and Hesse Homburg, Payment a length behind the latter, and Prestige a bad fifth.

From the Southern ports a vast number of rumours continue to be received touching the piratical expedition against Cuba ; the expedition on the one hand, being de scribed as postponed, and on the other as merely aban- ARRIVAL OF SALDANHA AT LISBON The Duke of Saldanha and about 3.000 of his " rege nerating" army arrived at Lisbon on the 15th instant, in six steam transports. Their reception was enthusiastic in the extreme, nor did any disturbance worth recording oc cur to diminish his Grace's gratification upon the occa sion. The day was not a regular holiday, but the inhabi tants of Lisbon made it one, and kept up their vivav until past midnight. The Queen and King came in for a very small share of attention ; in fact, a single viva was not given to them during the day, except by the Duke of Sal danha himself after he had landed and formed his troops in the great square, and by a few soldiers at the theatre, where their Majesties appeared at night in their private box for the first time since the fall of Count Thomar's Cabinet. No kind of notice was taken of their arrival be yond the strict demands of customary etiquette, i. e., the gentlemen in the pit took off their hats and sat down to allow the opera to commence, which it usually does upon their Majesties' appearance in their box. A minute had barely elapsed, however, when the Duke and part of his staff entered the box usually occupied by the Ministry, and the whole house rose with hearty and prolonged ac clamations of ' Hurrah for the Duke of Saldanha !—` for the charter reformed !'—' and for the regenerating army !' „ As before stated, these were th e genera r r i vas o f the day, that in favour of the Duke being by far the most prevalent; in fact, little else was heard during the day. Orders have been issued from the Treasury Department of the United States permitting merchandise to be here after withdrawn from warehouse and exported to the Bri tish provinces of Canada, &c. without the payment of duties; a measure which, it was expected, would render New York the great seaport of Canada and immensely in crease the business of the canals, &c.

We have this evening to record a renewal of that savage and intolerant conduct towards the same unoffending people, on last Sab bath, when returning, asbefore, from evening service.

The population of Limerick, in 1841, was 48,391; according to the present returns, it is in round numbers, 44,000 ; showing a decrease of 4,000 : but this return, it is stated, does not include the union workhouses. In one of the baronies of the Queen's county, Slievemargue, as we recently mentioned, the population has diminished from 17,014 to 11,500, a falling off to the extent of more than thirty per cent. In Carlingford. County of Louth, the number of inhabitants has decreased from 1,110 to 887, or in the proportion of twenty per cent., and we learn that nearly one hundred have emigrated since the enumeration. The only return we have yet seen from Connaught is given in the Galway Vindicator, respecting the parish of Annadown. In 1841, the population of that rural parish was 7,108; in 1851, it is reduced to 3,663, showing a diminution of 3,445, or very nearly one-half ! Ten years since, there were 864 families in Annadown, now there are but 454. This, certainly, is a startling disclosure. Where Protestantism however prevails, a very different result appears. In Belfast, for instance, the population has trebled in the last thirty years. The addition to the population since 1841 has been 37,000, or exactly equal to the whole population in 1821. . . CONDITION OF IRELAND.—Every post brings its con tribution to the stock of emigrants from the sister isle. The Westmeath Guardian says, " The emigrants are as numerous as ever; all the public conveyances are daily loaded with them, all of whom seem to have been of the more comfortable class of small farmers. Hundreds of less means arrive on drays and on foot." The King's County Chronicle informs us that, " not a day passes without several people leaving Roscrea far abroad." The Mayo Constitution states that " the emigrant crowd is daily increasing. Every day whole families are on the move. At the fairs, the chief vendors of cattle are in tended emigrants, and our streets on market days are turned into marts for the sale of every description of furniture." The Waterford Mail, Limerick Chronicle, Kerry Post, and other papers, announce the departure of a number of vessels crammed with emigrants, and many others are to follow. Pauperism is fearfully on the increase. In the Carlow Union the number of paupers on the books is 2,737. At Kilkenny the number is 4.317, being 532 more than there is accommodation for, and additional houses arc to be taken. In Waterford vagrancy is terribly on the increase, and the guardians have issued a notice to the inhabitants requesting them to refuse all relief to beggars, who are to be imprisoned, (if found soliciting alms) with hard labour, and short diet. THE CONVENTUAL SYSTEM.—A few years since, a circumftance came to light which seemed to involve a nun in one of the convents of the wect of Ireland in a swindling transaction, at least so far as being a party to a fraudulent attempt to obtain roods from a tradesman. It was soon ascertained that she was thus implicated, in connection with a priest, for whom she had conceived an attachment. The scandal which the exposure of this, if once made public, was calculated to bring upon the convent, led to the following device. The nun, unconscious of what was intended, was induced to go on hoard a merchant vessel about to sail for Spain. To induce her to this, and to disarm her against all suspicion she was accompanied by the priest to whom she was attached. And wholly uncon scious of the intrigue of which she was the unhappy victim, she sailed to Spain—was left in a Spanish nunnery —and her family never heard of her again ! Another fact may be added. Another circumstance of the same kind occurred in a nunnery in the neighbourhood of Dublin. One of the nuns formed an attachment for a remarkably handsome priest, who had frequent access to the establish ment, as there was connected with it a school for girls who were taught by the nuns. The moral character of the priest was not high in public estimation. And, to prevent a public exposure, the nun must be removed. She was quite unconscious of the intrigue of which she was the destined victim. She was induced to pay a visit. to France, to visit another establishment of the same order there. And she had the less reluctance to undertake the journey as it was to be performed under the guardianship and in the company of the very priest, her attachment to whom was thus leading to her exile ! She was imme diatel y placed in a continental nunnery, where her destiny is unknown.—M. Hobart Seymour. istria Reths.

The only question put to him was to ascertain his sentiments on currency, but the worthy gentleman candidly confessed his ignorance on the ques tion. Dr. IL Shelton Mackenzie, official assignee of the Man chester Court of Bankruptcy, has disobeyed the orders of the court in keeping more money under his control than allowed. Mr. Commissioner Skirrow has interfered, and threatens to bring the whole case before the Loid Chan cellor. THE MURDER NEAR LEIGH.—The adjourned inquest in this case was held on Friday. when the only additional evidence was that of Green, the beer-house keeper, who was the last man that saw the deceased George Green be his murder, but who says he left him on the Canal Bridge, and satisfactorily accounts for his presence else where during the remainder of the night. The jury found a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or per sons unknown." The police have taken into custody a man named Thomas Hilton, a silk weaver. This man has been a poacher, and bears a very bad character; but the evidence against him at present is merely of a suspicious character. Doinestfr. The primrose changing, or, as gardeners term it, snort ing into the polyanthus, is not at all an uncommon occur rence. There is evidence that the primrose, polyanthus, cowslip, and oxlip, are only varieties of the same species. There is no doubt that the soil has great influence over the change. THE TINWALD MIIRDER.—The trial of Wm. Laurie, shoemaker, took place at Edinburgh on Friday and Sa turday last. The prisoner was indicted for rape and the murder, on the 27th November last, on the road leading to Kirkland Village, Dumfriesshire, of Barbara Hamilton, wife of John Hamilton, farm servant, Kirkland. The jury found the prisoner guilty of the crime of rape, the charge of murder not proven, and he was sentenced to be transported beyond the seas for the period of his natural life. An immense demonstration in favour of the principles of protection to native industry took place in Ipswich on Friday, when upwards of 600 persons, including several of the principal landowners, very many of the clergy, and the most influential merchants, tradesmen, and yeomen of the county of Suffolk, assembled at a public dinner in the Corn Exchange, which was tastefully and elegantly decorated with blue and white cloth, and numerous ban ners inscribed with mottos appropriate to the occasion. Mr. E. S. Gooch, M.P. for East Suffolk, presided as chairman ; the vice chair being filled by Mr. J. C. Cob bold, M.P. for the borough of Ipswich. THE GOLD DUST ROBBERY.—On Friday, William Pamplin, the man who stands charged with being con-, cerned in the late gold-dust robbery, was brought up be fore the magistrates IA Winchester, for re-examination. Mr. Crombie having intimated that he should apply for , another remand, called the landlady of the Eagle Tavern, for the purpose of corroborating the evidence of the rail way porters as to the prisoner having been in Winchester on the night of Thursday, the Bth instant. She distinctly deposed to the prisoner having come into the tap-room on the evening in question, and drunk a pint of beer, when he had two bags with him, which were rather long than broad. Edwards, the porter, came in after him. Having paid for his beer, he went away, taking the bags with him. She was perfectly certain that he was the man. The land lady's daughter gave similar testimony. They had both seen the prisoner subsequently in the gaol, and identified him as the man. The prisoner was remanded. ACCIDENT AT A MENAGERIE.—The scene of the tra gical death of the Lion Queen, a few years since, has now become one of serious injury, if not ultimately the cause of death, to another individual. At Chatham, on Thurs day night. between nine and ten o'clock, when Womb well's menagerie was filled with company, whilst Thos. Stone, a black man, enjoying the title of " the young Indian Prince," was engaged in performing with the large elephant, the animal, either by design or accident, pressed Stone against the bars of the den, by which he received severe injury of the scalp, had four of his ribs, the right arm, and a collar bone broken, and he now lies in a very precarious state. At the time of the accident the animal was in the act of taking off and replacing the hat of his keeper, and it is imagined that it had been irritated by some of the company, and hence the cause of the injury. It appears that Stone's instructions were to remain outside the animal's den, but this injunction ' he neglected. STATISTICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON.—The Rev. Edgell Wyatt Edgell in the chair. Mr. T. J. Brown, the assis tant secretary, read a p a p er on th e National Debts and Revenues in proportion to the population and extent of area of the various states of Europe. The data of this paper were obtained from the Almanac de Gotha, a work by Oberhausen ; Reden's Statistical Journal, Ritter's Statistical Geography, another by Richter, and the Con versation Lexicon, published at Leipsic by Brochausen. The total amount of debt borne by the fifty-eight Euro pean states was shown to be £1,753,278,127, of which the eight republics sustain three-twentieths, and the mo narchies the remaining seven-twentieths.: Every geo graphical square mile in Europe is burthened with an average of £9,740 of the public debt, Hamburg sustaining the maximum of debt in proportion to its area, and Russia and Turkey the minimum , and in proportion to the popu lation of Europe an average of £6 15s. per head was indi cated, in this case, the Netherlands sustaining the maxi mum and Russia the minimum. The revenues of the European states yield a total of £207,301,752, of which £53,386,293 is derived from the republics, and £153,915,459 or three-fourths, from the monarchies, Spain holding the worst position as regards the amount of revenue opposed to the national debt, the interest upon which, at five per cent., would consume the whole revenue, whilst Prussia requires only a fourteenth of its revenue to be so applied. The paper was purely statistical, and proved that it is not the amount of debt that undermines the states' credit,but the want of the natural resources to cover the required interests. THE BURNING COLLIERY, CLACKMANNANSHIRE. The mine is supposed originally to have been set on fire by some persons distilling illicit whiskey in the goaf ; shortly after which it rapidly extended, and threatened the destruction of the entire coal-field. A sum of £16,000 was expended in surrounding the fire with a puddle wall, to prevent its extending to other workings. It took five years in building, during which the men were frequently driven back, and obliged to commence further off. During this period,. nine men and three women fell a sacrifice from falls of roof, shutting them in, and the fire overwhelming them before they were extricated. One unfortunate girl was completely roasted, as it were, by a slow fire ; and when found, and they took hold of her, it came off like the wing of a roasted fowl. The wall re quired constant attendance, and the Earl of Mansfield expended about £2OO a-year in keeping it in repair and continual watching, as there was constant danger of the fire breaking into the other parts of the mine. It would have been thought that the fire thus bottled up should have gone out for want of air; but, being only twenty fathoms from the surface, it obtained it through crevices in the strata, and leakage in the wall, sufficient to keep up a sulky, smouldering, and volcanic-like existence — sometimes quiet, sometimes more fierce. It is now happily, entirely and efficiently extinguished. The Times of Thursday, in describing the experiments, says :—" In the midst of the fire, Mr. J. Mather seemed to be in his element ; on one occasion, he came up out of the pit with a burning coal sticking in his, cap. We have all heard of a feather in one's cap; but a burning coal is somewhat new." We mention this remark in the Times to lead to another characteristic anecdote observed at the same time. The Government Inspector who went down to tho experi ment, and who is a Roman Catholic, said to Mr. Mather at tLe time when he decided on going down and breaking into the burning waste, " It is my duty to report t o my government in case of loss of life. This was said more in jest than in earnest. Mr. Mather remarked in the same spirit—" If Mr. Gurney will stand by, and blow wind behind me, I will go to the gates of purgatory and grin through the bars. Tell this to your Government and the Pope: they may possibly send for me, as offering the best way to put an end to the agitation." Many a true word is spoken in jest. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER.—The market on Tuesday was steady, without alteration from the rates noted on that day week ; a fair general business which had been going on had been fully sustained until near the close of the market, when a telegraphic despatch was received, announcing the arrival of the Pacific, bringing news from the United States three days later than that of the Asia, and the tidings that prices of cotton had again receded. When business was resumed in the afternoon, it was only on easier terms than had been asked in the morning, want of confidence in prices being again quite prevalent. In yarns we cannot re port any other than a moderate business. The low rates have attracted some buyers, who, on the appearance of the upward tendency of Monday and Tuesday, were, more eager to give out orders, hut the subsequent information cooled the demand. For piece goods there has been a slightly improved demand for 39-inch shirtings. and inquiries were made after jacconets, but for printing cloths the absence of all demand is the only notice able feature of the market; all other descriptions of fabrics are still very quiet. ROCHDALE.—The flannel market is still inactive, and the merchants show no disposition to purchase. Indeed not many buyers have attended, and a very limited amount of business has been transacted. The price of wool continues firm, not iwmitmhsetdainatdeinwgatnht. _ the manufacturers are only purchasing for their t sfbo h oorß e i nucKr P etgl A r hosnt, c fht F e atso d nhi Redsnepho other pxieced: ..... ..-..—. LEICESTER.—There does not appear to be any improvement in the state of our home trade during the week, and the only wools and yarns remain at about the same prices as quoted last week. business doing to any extent is for the American market. Both LEEDS.—We have to report that more business has been done both in the public Cloth Halls and at the warehouses this week than in any of the last few weeks.

Other descriptions of goods are very little sought after just now. There is no improvement in the yarn market, and prices are without alteration. 'There is scarcely so much doing in wool, with the turn in favour of the buyer. Hunnensvumn.—Our market this week has scarcely been an average one; less has been done on the whole. Goods of a middle quality are the class principally in demand. Yarns are steady. In wool lea, has been done : at about the same prices as last week. May 27, Oil, frlarriaurs, 33trtO5, atilt 51ratio.
