SMO KE PREVENTION BY A NEW PROCESS. ;41°1Vhe subject of smoke consumption, or, which is better, 0 prevention, has recently occupied considerable attention, ",. (1 it is to be hoped that some practical advance has been '''s.ae towards supplying facilities for the mitigation, at least, if tot th e entire removal of the smoke nuisance. We have had Zr!,ccasion to notice several mechanical contrivances, which were reffective in graduating the admission of air into the fur.- , th cei but the plan we have now to describe is entirely of a ~;i"ical character. On Friday a series of experiments took i,}4, -e, conducted at the extensive plant of the patentee, Mr. 1011.48 llohnes, of the Irwell bleachworks, Pendleton, near Pr. ri ,„ e ,,,l at er• Here some of the real difficulties to smoke hi e te v 4 7 t t° l l occur, and we believe that Mr. Holmes has stsk et _ f o nly escap e d prosecut i on for the nuisance his created, by showing how really desirous he was of withintid b O n gist,i so s oon as he found the practical means to be reach. It has long been found that in dye houses aticii,"z ica chworke, where there are a number of small fires, i n appron to those of the furnace, and all communicating with ia cral flue, that mechanical arrangements are not of easy Ill k a e a ti l t l e e a tr ti fi ° r. o s ° . ften ()win to the confined space occupied by the This circumstance g seems to present no impedi- Ivork, ° , 41 " Pan now patented by Mr. Holmes.

The effect . liehe_crY decisive. A volume of dense black smoke is e r : 4 7ieded th, 'l 7 what has much the appearance of steam, and abso r b reduced in quantity.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] COTTON PACKING IN AMERICA. From the New York Journal of Commerce, Nov. 19, 1856. Messrs. Editors,—You have published the address of the American Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Cotton Brokers at Liverpool, to the Chambers of Commerce at Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, and New Orleans, in rela tion to the evil of false packed cott on . _ _ That address is all in their own favonr, as it is well known spinners have twelve months' license to make a claim, for what they call false packed. This claim can only be enforced on this side of the water, when each and every mark on the bale can be given ; and, as in many cases, this cannot be done, the loss falls on the last ship per. A large dealer in cotton informed the writer, many months ago, that he had paid over $5OO for false packed cotton, and could not recover, because he had not all the various marks required. How this evil is to be remedied the Liverpool savans do not tell us. It is not a fraud; for often samples of cotton show two qualities, and it is sold by the poorest, and value paid for the same accord ingly. My remedy would be, that the purchaser have the cotton examined on the day of sale, and take care that it is well examined, and let him reject any not equal to sample. If bought on speculation, he should have no redress, unless claimed within two weeks after delivery. There are, however, evils of much greater magnitude prantised in Liverpool, which the argus-eyed Chamber of Commerce have overlooked. I allude to the mode of sampling the cotton. In America tho cotton is sampled on the side. viz., I I—l I I and a fair sample we consider it, as it is from the middle of the bale. Now, allow the bale to be cut as in the cut, between ropes, on each side, and you will, no doubt, get good and fair samples. In Liver pool, however, they rip the end of the bales, and take samples out of the ends, by drawing a piece of one of the layers of cotton. Now, any one conversant in pressing cotton, knows that the end of every bale is the last thing sewed up, after the bale has been roped, rolled nut of th e press, and takes up all the dust of the house, as it comes in contact with it. This mode of sampling often makes cotton rank worse than it really is, and the spinners get the advantage, if any. Again, all ropes are cut off, before weighing, but two. In this country, a bale is not in good order unless there are five ropes. These ropes are sold, but never appear in the account of sales. It is, indeed, hard to lose the dif ference in weight; but to be robbed of the rope is adding injury to injury. Again, all loose patches and loose cotton also are picked off, and put aside and sold. The poor shipper neither sees nor hears any more of that, and his account sales show a heavy loss, whilst his consignee pockets at least iOd per bale sterling. Will the Chamber of Commerce at Liverpool, in their anxiety to look after the honesty of the planters, factors dealers and shippers iu America, turn their thoughts home, before taking the mote out of our eyes, and adopt a uniform method of sampling, as is practised in the markets to whom their address is given, and let the con signees allow no claim without every mark—planter's and county mark—is specified on the certificate. Add unto account sales the proceeds of the ropes, pickings, &c , and endeavour not to make two commissions, one by pecula tions and the other legitimate. Also, use for weighing, the beam, as in this country, and not the old 56 weights ; allowance for draught, tare and tret, which are now obso lete, exc3pting in Old England. In fine, let them do their best to make the customs and practie , s of both countries harmonise, and they will then get their claims for false packing more cheerfully paid by the COTTON SHIPPERS. THE NOETHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. CAUGHT AT LAST. At the Bow-street Police Court, London, on Saturday, an elderly man, wiih grey hair, remarkably neat attire, and of sedate and sactimonious aspect, who gave the name of Thomas Clark, was charged with obtaining a charitable contribution from Sir Walter Trevelyan, by false pre tences. Sir Walter Trevelyan, Bart., deposed : I was at the Athenaeum this morning, when one of the servants brought be a note, and said that Dr. Ashton wes waiting outside to see me. I went out and saw the prisoner, who addressed me, representing himself as Dr. Ashton. He told me a very specious story about the person he repre sented himself to apply for. He said he came from Mrs. Emery, the daughter of Mr. Clark, of the Castle Hotel, Taunton. I knew the name of Clark from stopping at the hotel. He said she had married a person named Emery, formerly a wine merchant at Bath, who, however, had been obliged to give up his business, on account of ill health. He said he had been attending Mr. Emery for a white swelling for six months, and had given his profes sional services gratuitously as a friend. Amputation had become necessary, and for that purpose .Mr. Emery was going into St. Bartholomew's Hospital• He said he was sent by Mrs. Emery, who formerly knew me at the hotel, to ask for some assistance. I believed his story, and was induced to give him half a sovereign for Mrs. Emery. Sir Walter produced the letter, which was signed " Elizabeth Emery, late Clark," and contained the same statements. J. W. Horsford, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society, said that a little before 10 o'clock this morning, he saw the prisoner in Victoria-street, having his boots cleaned. As his appearance agreed with the description witness had received of a man who had obtained numerous contributions by false pretences, he determined to watch him. He went first to a public-house and then to the residence of several gentlemen. At last he called at Mar shal Thompson's hotel, Cavendish-square, and asked for Sir W. Trevelyan. He was told Sir Walter was at the Athenaeum, whither he next proceaded. Witness en tered after him, sat down in the hall as if waiting for some one, and overheard the prisoner's conver cation with Sir Walter. Prisoner said he lived in Union-street, Borough. As he was leaving witness apprehended him, and found on him a number of letters, similar to that produced by Sir Walter. Each of these was accompanied by a slip of paper, containing memo randa of the names and alleged circumstances. Such a memorandam was also found on him relating to this case. Captain Wood, the manager of the Mendicity Society, said the prisoner was the most successful begging-letter impostor in London The society's officers had been on the :look out for him for four years, but he had till now evaded them. He made a point of never calling twice at one place. If once unsuccessful, he gave it up. The prisoner declined to give any account of himself, and Mr. Henry sentenced him to three months' imprisonment. WHAT Do You WANT ?—I require a good Pen and splendid Ink. Then go to E. T.

" THE NEW SAYETY INKSTAND.—We could scarcely believe that we had to contend with E 0 many minor grievances in writing until this admirable invention was brought to our notice.

If it be desirable to economise time and money, is it not still of greater impor tance to look to your health ? During this inclement season we strongly advise the use of the Aromatic Spice Plasters on the chest. Coughs, colds, asthmas, shortness of breath, pain or tightness of the chest, affections of the lungs, &c., are effectually relieved, and in many cases entirely prevented, by the timely application of these invaluable plasters to the chest, which are far superior to the common warm plasters, and in many cases entirely supersede the use of internal remedies.

Mr. Jones can show any party interested a number of testimo nials of the great benefit derived from the Aromatic Spice Plasters and the Horehound and Squills, in affectons of the hest.—Advt. CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—No sooner is a medicine wel established in public favour than a host of imitation spring up. The Essence of Horehound and Squills, Pectoral Lozenges, and Aromatic Spice Plasters, are sold only at 5, Paradise street, and 94, London road, and one agent in most towns in the kingdom.—Advt. IMPURE WATER.—During a series of lectures at the Polytechnic Institution, in London, by Mr. Pepper, on this all-important subject (whose lectures have afforded so much interest and instruction), he particularly urged the absolute necessity of the adoption of some stringent measures in order to;insure, as far as possible, a wholesome supply to the public, and particularly cautioned persons predisposed to cholera infection against the use of water in its naturally sophisticated state, because all water, from whatever source received, cannot be free from other substances, such as clay, flinty matter, chalk, sulphate of lime, nitre, common salt, sulphate of potash, animalculm, &c., and urged, in conjunction with Professor Faraday, the absolute necessity of filtration, in order to remove such mechanical impurities. There can be no doubt, however, that when the Liverpool water is properly filtered, it will be found to be among the best descriptions of water supplied to the public. It is much to be lamented that fraudulent venders of feeble and ineffective imitations of valuable inventions are numerous in large towns and cities ; we would recommend our friends, therefore, to inspect the warehouses of 'Messrs. Saunders and Co., Parker-street, Church-street. It is but justice to their inventive genius to:lpronounce their filters far superior to anything of the kind ever offered to the public, being unique in structure, judicious in development of power and action, and reduced to a price with the reach of all classes.

HENRY GREENWOOD , GENERA L AD V ERTISING AGENT, STEAM PRINTING WORKS, 16,------CANNING-PLACE------16. IRON SHIP-BUILDING The loss of the Roslyn is now confirmed, as the fragment of a boat, with the name painted on the stern, has been picked up. The Lyonnais, built at Liverpool by Messrs. Laird. through a collision, has had one of the plates on her side entirely stripped and nearly the whole of her crew and passengers have met with an untimely fate. These constantly recurring accidents only tend to show that in the build of our iron ships, as at present con stituted, there must be some radical fault, and it behoves not only the Government, but all those who are interested, to take some decisive steps to remedy this evil, and adopt such measures as will prevent the dreadful calamities now following each other in almost constant succession, There can be no question that iron ships are superior and more durable than those constructed of wood; but if we are to retain our supremacy, they must be less faulty than those at present sent from our yards. It is stated by Mr. John Clare, jun., of Liverpool, that these vessels can be built so that they shall be free from leakage, and not liable to accident. If this can be practically proved, the subject is of Fueh great importance that it is worthy of a trial. Not only are the shippers of cargo largely interested, but all who are concerned in the manufacture of iron should bestir tl.emselves, to produce such qualities of that metal as would be found upon trial effectually to answer the purposes for which it was intended. The general employ ment of iron for ship-building would give a great impetus to the further development of that important staple of British industry. We possess an abundance of ironstone, and the necessary fuel at hand, and can mauufacture such vessels at a cheaper rate than a' y other country in the world ; and there is no reason why we should not com mand the whole trade, if the craft built were of that superior quality that it would carry with economy and safety. One step in the right direction would be that the insurance companies should refuse to underwrite either cargoes'or rh:ps, unless the latter had been constructed on some definite plan, and certified by competent officers of the Board of Trade as seaworthy ; and in every instance they should be constructed of the best material. There is great room for improvement, and the attention of all concerned is directed to the necessity of some radical change in the present method of iron ship-building.— Mining Journal. MORE GAME LAW VICTIMS IN H EBEFORDSHIRE.— Another batch of game law cases came before the Ross petty sessions on Friday, when seven magistrates sat on the bench, made up, on this occasion, of two " Reverends," an officer, a doctor, a barrister, and a couple of country squires. Wm. Gillett, a lad ten years old, whose head barely reached the dock, was charged, with his brother, George Gillett. a young man of twenty years, with being in pursuit of rabbits , on the 16th of November, on lands in the occupation of Mr. Felix Smith, farmer, of Linton. The accused were seen walking under the hedge, but were not found in the posses sion of any game. The boy was discharged with a caution, and George Gillett committed for two months, with hard labour, On the same day Joseph Rudge, an old man of 70 winters, was charged with unlawfully catching a hare in a wire, on land the property of his empl o y er , W. H. Collins, Esq, of Cubberley Hall. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge, but stated that his master had given bim autho rity to catch hares or rabbits on his own land, and had pro mised to bear him harmless of the consequences, but as no written authority was produced, the bench took the plea in its literal sense, and sentenced the aged prisoner to six weeks imprisonment, with hard labour. At the same sea sions a woman named Catherine Cutter, was committed for setting fire to gorse en Copped hill common, which is a transportable offence, but the Rhadamantbuses of Rose took second thoughts on the subject, and, to the surprise of the court and the criminal, set aside their previous de cision in tote, and discharged the woman with a salutary warning.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING. The Cotton Market was very steady to-day, the demand being to a fair extent, and prices of all kinds fully maintained. The sides were about 7,000 bales, including 1 . 000 on speculation and for export. The advices by the Europa arrived here to-day did not have any effect upon the market. At New York there had been rather more activity and as the estimates of the crop had generally been reduced, holders appeared to have more confidence in higher prices, and quotations were advanced cent., while holders were demanding still higher rates. The following is a statement of the stock of Cotton as taken from the New York Shipping List of the 26th November : Exports to Total E xports to Stock and on Receipts. Great ; Foreign Britain.

There was a quiet demand for Money both in London and Liverpool to day, and the rates for first class signatures were rather lower. Business at the Stock Exchange has commenced very quietly this week, and, owing to some speculative sales, a temporary degree of weakness has become apparent. Compared with the latest prices current on Saturday, a decline of 4 to 1 per cent has taken place, but as there is no unfavourable event which justifies a lower range of values, the flatness now prevailing is no doubt only temporary. An influen tial party of dealers have endeavoured to depress the market, and some of the smaller operators for a rise have probably closed their accounts, so as to make sure of their profits, otherwise it is only fair to conclude that the tendency would have been in the other direction, especially as the Money Market is gradually improving. At the same time, however, the Transfer books being closed, there are no money purchases to give support to the market. Consols have been 931 94, and 93;?- 4 1. They are now about 93 1. The New Threes are 931 to 944, the Reduced 934:. Exchequer Bills 4s to 7s. premium, and the Bonds 981, 99. Bank Stock is 2164, and India Stock 227. In the Foreign Market the principal feature is a decided fall in the Turkish 6 per Cents., which have suffered from the same cause as Consols, viz., speculative sales. They have been dealt in at 95/, 941 :, 944 , 8 , and they are now about 95, 954 The 4 per Cents. 1027,-. Spanish are flatter, the I, Threes being 42 to 421, and the Passive 51 Rus sian 41 per Cents. are 004 ; Peruvian, 78 ; and Do. 3 per Cents. 551. The London Railway Share Market this morn ing was influenced to some extent by the depres sion in the English Funds, and the quotations of most of the principal lines declined about 4 to per cent. ; in some instances rather more. East Anglian, Great Northern, Great Western, Brighton, North Western, and Midland were lower by 10s, and Lancashire and Yorkshire by 15s; South Eastern ss; Paris and Lyons declined lOs ; Northern of France 5s ; Lombardo Venetian 15s; Great Luxembourg ss. The Canadian lines were steady at former quotations. The True Briton, from Melbourne, is announced but the particulars of her specie freights are not yet known- The Red Jacket and the William Money are now also due, and in the course of the next fortnight a further large supply of gold may be anticipated. As the specie requirements of the Bank of France seem now to have b een supp li e d , and speculation in silver is not likely to draw so much gold away as heretofore, it may be supposed that the greater portion of future arrivals will be retained in this country. The advices from Paris this morning state that monetary affairs continue to improve, and the next Bank return, it is alleged, will show an increase in coin and bullion in Paris and the departments to 194,000,000 francs. There is evidently a pause in the speculative movement at Paris, for higher prices, but the general feeling on the Bourse is still confident. In anticipation of a favourable return from the Bank of France on Friday next, many parties expect that the directors will announce some relaxation of their existing stringent regulations. The market for French Railway Shares derives strength from an improvement in the traffic returns The receipts of the Paris and Lyons Company present the chief increase, but those of the Northern of France form an exception, A sum of 15.0001. in gold bars has been with drawn from the Bank of England, for shipment to Cadiz by the steamer Tagus, which sailed from Southampton to-day for the Peninsula. A meeting of the assured members of the Sol vency Mutual Guarantee Company is called fur the 9th inst., when a bonus is to be declared. This meeting is to be made special, to " authorise the engrossment of the supplemental deed of settle. ment," and to approve of the transfer of the com pany's business to the Mercantile Guarantee and Assurance Company. The usual interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum is advertised in Paris on the shares of he Credit Mobilier Society. This is altogether rrespective of the dividend. The half-yearly meeting of the Bank of Austral asia was held this day, when the directors expressed their resolution to continue the dividend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum, payable in April next. The state of the colony was satisfactory. At the next meeting the accounts will be presented as usual. The directors had invested the 200,0001. guarantee fund. The call of 20 per cent on the 350 shares of 1,0001. each of the Atlantic Telegraph Company has been promptly met. On Friday the manufac ture of the cable was commenced at the works of Kupar and Co., Greenwich. To-morrow the share holders meet to elect directors. The railway meetings of the week, although not numerous, have presented some points of interest. The shareholders of the Belfast and Ballymena Company have ad op t e d th e re p or t, an d con fi rme d the dividend at the rate of 35s per share. With the exception of third class traffic the revenue has improved, and pr ospec t s are cons id ere d sa ti s f ac t ory . The dividend of the Killarney Junction is at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, and the report states that the traffic from all sources has improved. At the adjourned meeting of the Eastern Counties com panywasbyaitlarge in announced that Mr.H. Love was elected majority over occasioned A lr.M a t l h ts ug t h o fi th ll e t r h e e vacant seat of j . tirement of Mr. Waddington. The report of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway is regarded as satisfactory. It is stated that the entire distance from Surat to Ahmedabad may be completed in two years from May, 1856. At the meeting of the Cork, Blackrock, and Passage Rail way the report was agreed to, and a dividend of 8s per share was declared. While the receipts have increased, the directors, with careful management, have been enabled to reduce the general expendi ture. The shareholders of the Wells and Faken ham Company have given the directors authority to exercise their borrowing powers. There has been a large demand for sugar for the past day or two, and sales have been made at ex treme rates. Molassas and rum are almost neg lected, while the business doing in coffee is merely of a retail character. Saltpetre is held for higher prices than purchasers are disposed to give. The commercial advises received by the Europa are considered satisfactory. The Persia, with Liverpool dates of the 15th ult had arrived at New York, but her news had little or no influence on the exchange market, as the shipments did not much exceed half a million dollars. Sterling was done at 109 k to 109,1 per cent, Money kept easy in supply, with no very great demand. The Stock Market continued firm, and quotations showed a material advance in the leading railway lines. Heavy receipts and adverse European news had depressed the market for bread stuffs. Flour generally fell off sc. and 10e. per brl.; and the less desirable kinds of Wheat also declined. Each commodity was active at the reduced figures. Corn slightly improved, but it was not in much request. Cotton exhibited renewed vigor. Provisions were sale able and steady. More animation was noticeable in Sugars at full rates. Freights ruled quite heavy and firm. The advises from St. Petersburgh furnish the following statistics of the Tallow trade up to the close of the navigation this year. The total quantity shipped was 112,095 casks; consumption on the spot 7,277 casks; leav ing on the spot unsold 1036 casks, of this aggregate of 120,408 casks, 109,938 were brought down from the interior (inclusive of " town melted") ; 862 casks consisted of " stock left over from 1855 unsold"; and 9,608 casks consisted of " stock received and stored from 1855." The directors of the Provincial Bank of Ireland have announced a half yearly dividend at the rats of 4 per cent ; and also a second bonus for the present year of 1/ on each 1001 share, and 8s on each 101 share ; and the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company a dividend of 3i per cent for the last half year, a bonus of 1/ per paid up share, and 4s per new share, all free from income tax.
