The Duke iex, too, of all men, was singled out to pen the luestion ; and his royal highness, with that bad taste which has, through life, distin '•l public exhibitions, contrived to render a proceeding which no skill could have its inherently offensive character. The Assex lavished on Espartero's conduct terms st fulsome praise. Amongst the phrases em y the royal penman were these—" Esteem for rson, and approbation of your loyal conduct to ,overeign"—" your absolute devotion to your i"—" the regard and admiration with which her nic Majesty's Government views your political ilitary career"—" a faithful subject, a true pa s man of honour, and a general as skilful as he -shed."

Emigration alone will •-) reap all the advantages which this truly magni y offers ; a colony which, as at present situated, a population of 100,000 labourers 3 5,000 hogs ugar ; w hil e J ama i ca , w i t h 440 , 0 00 labourers, pro 100hogshcath; ; and Barbadoes, with 90,000 coloured 23,500hoplieads ; a fact which forcibly points out iperi9r fertility of British Guiana. This colony surpas equally in imports every other in the British West Indies, nd the import of goods of British manufacture amounted in 'ts witl The Q 1836 to X 6 14s per head, anti have probably risen in 1839 to £lO per head. If the misery which would be inflicted upon the large ma nufacturing towns might be calculated from the effects which the stoppage of the export trade caused in 1810 and 1811, the prospects of the manufacturing districts in England, in the case of the breaking out of any war with Europe or with the United States, are distressing. It becomes, therefore, the double policy of Great Britain to foster the resources of her own possessions, in order to increase with her population the demand for her manufac tured goods ; and the example of British Guiana, where in 1838, under the most adverse circumstances, the increasing demands for manufactured goods and other supplies had oc casioned an additional tonnage inwards of 10,618 tons as compared with that of 1836, will point again► to that colony as the mart where the manufactured goods of the mother country are likely to find the readiest scale. There is every fear that the growing manufacturing establishment on the continent of Europe may shut out British goods from the European market; and how far the European powers are anxious to accomplish this, the Prussieo-Teutonic com mercial league and Russian ukases have sufficiently shown. In the colonies alone, from long-continued habits and con nections of their population, the supply of British manufac tures meets no competition from foreigners. In the British West Indies, Barbadoes is the only colony which is thickly peopled. Its population is computed at 104,000 inhabitants upon an area of 150 square miles, or 693 inhabitants to each square mile. The population is there fore in such a proportion, that the relation between the em ployer and the labourer is put upon a natural level ; and it is generally considered that in consequence the free labour system will best succeed in that colony. In order to accom plish the desirable object of raising British Guiana to the state of the island of Barbadoes with regard to its popula tion, it remains to point out those sources from which la bourers may be obtained, who are suited for working under a tropical clime. Africa is the part of the world which for upwards of three centuries supplied the colonies of European nations with la bourers. Abounding in a population which, buried in the darkness of savage life, were divided in numerous tribes en gaged in constant warfare with each other, we will leave the question entirely untouched, whether religion and civilization have gained by the drafts which European nations have made upon those unfortunate beings. The ties of relationship and country were not torn asunder for making them converts to religion and civilization ; cupidity was the mainspring of those acts for which history will ever blush. Plans have been proposed to establish steam navigation, and to invite the most intelligent natives of the African coast to visit Guiana, in order that they may judge for themselves whether it offer any advantages which cannot be procured in Africa, and communicate their experience to their own countrymen ; by which means not only a stream of free emi grants might be obtained, but the success of this scheme would be eclually calculated to further the views of civilizing Africa. . _ _ The short passage in steamers between the coast of Africa and Guiana, might induce many to give their assistance in getting in the crops, and return after having earned a sum of wages, whisk according to their idea renders them rich. The orderly and religious state of the indigenous labouring popu lation in Guiana could not fail to have the best effects upon the minds of the newly arrived Africans ; and at their return to their homes, with the good example of their black brethren in Guiana before their eyes, a powerful means would be given of disseminating religious principles and civilization among them. In this way the philanthropic views of Mr. Buxton and his coadjutors would be promoted. The planter in Guiana, however, could not calculate upon the timely arrival of this assistance, which would be always subjected to cir cumstances and caprices ; and although many might settle permanently, and amalgamate with the existing creole race, this process is too slow to warrant the expectation of much benefit for the colony. The most important question to de cide in adopting such a plan as an auxiliary scheme of pro viding Guiana with the necesary labour is, whether it would meet the approbation of the British government ? If the question be calmly considered, the plan appears plausible, and deserves to receive the approbation of the Bri tish government, much as it might be opposed, for well founded reasons, to the entire transfer of Africans to an Ame rican colony. Under their protection, measures might be adopted to facilitate this periodical emigration : and its very nature, that not a permament settlement, but merely their labour for a certain period is aimed at, excludes even the shadow of compulsion; Ireland, and several districts on the continent of Europe, offer similar examples ; and the asser tion of the same right which the Irish labourer has at his op tion, if he considers himself wronged by his employer in England, might be applied in a still higher degree to the African, who offers his temporary labour to the colonist. The peculiar situation of Great Britain in whatever relates to the suppression of the slave trade, makes it, I fear, im practicable to recruit at the coast of Africa for permanent settlers. Whatever might be the advantages which might accrue to the African races from a permanent settlement at Guiana, the evil genius of the slave trade has spread its wings over benighted Africa, and the best intentions for the ame lioration of its barbarous population run the risk of being accused of selfish views. The plans of the African Coloniza tion Society share a similar suspicion, and are said to be un dertaken merely as the first germs of African colonies under British away. The treasures of the soil, of which that vast region might be made the depository, and the reward of in dustry and social amelioration which await the African from the realization of Mr. Buxton's plans, are as much exposed to the mistrust of other European nations, as the scheme of transferring the African for the same purpose to Guiana, where there is a field sufficiently extensive tor millions to reap the fruits of their industry and the blessings of the Christian religion and civilization, and where the savage would advance in the career of civilization with greater rapidity than could ever be expected in Africa. More effective measures however are requisite, than those offered by the prospect of distant success in recruiting labour ers from Africa, in order to arrest the present decline of our colonies in the west, and to stay the increase of the slave trade, which in consequence of that decline has received a new impetus. I need only to point to Cuba and Puerto Rico for the proof of the latter assertion, where American and British capital reap all the advantages f a continued slave trade and an ample supply of labourers. The prosperity of these colo nies is unfortunately built upon the downfall of the British colonies, suffering as they do the most urgent want of labour ers for their rich and luxuriant lands ; and the olny hope that is left for averting this rapid decline of the colonies, is the proposition of introducing a number' of Indian labourers, called Hill Coolies. It appears that this poor race have been subject to the most abject state of degradation ; and if we can believe the public accounts, want prevailed in the British Indian possessions in 1838 to such a degree, that 500,000 of these miserable beings are said to have died of hunger. They migrate into India annually in large numbers, in search of employment, which appears to be precarious, while, if suc cessful, their earnings yield a bare subsistence. It was there fore imagined by some persons interested in British Guiana, that if these Hill Coolies, who were starving, were to emi grate to Guiana, where an unlimited demand for labour would ensure them high wages, they would not only profit them selves, but also the colony which was to receive their labour. 437 Coolies embarked, therefore, in Calcutta, of whom 16 died on the voyage, and two fell overboard in a violent gale ; while 419 landed in Guiana. Their terms of contract were five years service for wages of five rupees monthly, payable in dollars, at the exchange of two rupees per dollar ; they were to be supplied daily with provisions, and annualy with cloth lug ; as also with medical attendance and medicine. It is much to be regretted that no proper selection was made among those who offered their services, and that ne cessary precautions were not taken at their arrival to prevent the diseases which more abundant food, change of climate, herding together in one room in lieu of separate houses, and working at the fields without being inured to the climate, were likely to cause. If some regulation had been in opera tion for that purpose, it is not likely that the sickness which spread so widely, and proved so fatal to the Coolies, would have occurred.* It was in consequence that the commissa ries appointed by the governor of British Guiana, to inquire into the state and condition and general treatment of emi grants, recommended that all emigrants, on their arrival in the colony, should not be permitted to be located on any estate, or elsewhere, until the agent for emigrants, or some other person appointed for that purpose, first see and ascer tain that the dwellings to be appropriated for their reception are in every way suitable and comfortable ; that the labour required of them should be apportioned to their several cir cumstances ; that they should not be called upon to perform a full day's work for several months after the arrival; and, if practicable, the wages allowed to them should not be less, in proportion to the labour performed, than is paid to the other labouring classes of the community. This recommen dation was adopted by the governor, who observes on this subject, in his despatch to the Marquis of Normanby, dated Demerara, 14th October, 1839,—" The anxiety to meet the views of her Majesty's government, expressed by the com munity at large on the subject of immigration, will enable your lordship to assume any position, in protection of immi . grants, you may think necessary. I have already given di rections respecting the reception of immigrants introduced by private speculators, who have hitherto detained them on board till located. The harbour-master is instructed to se cure immediate communication with the shore, and disem barkation within twenty-four hours of arrival in the river."t It cannot be denied that the loss of life by mismanagement at the first arrival of the Coolies proved serious to them as a body. Much of it was to be ascribed to the difficulty of in ducing them to submit to timely remedies, and to the expe rience of medical men ; but this aversion has been overcome, and wise regulations with regard to their welfare have pro duced happy results. Indeed it is evident, that with the ex ception of the African, they appear to be better qualified as labourers in Guiana than any other individuals. It is repre sented by official reports that every attention is paid to ren der them comfortable, and from all the information which was procured by the commissioners appointed for the purpose of inquiring into their present state, it appeared that they had considerably improved since their arrival. They executed their work with a cheerfulness not to be exceeded in any part of the world: * According to the official returns of the stipendiary ma gistrate, dated November Ist, 1839, the number of deaths which had occurred among the Coolies since they landed amounted to sixty-three males and three females. t Parliamentary paper, " 11111 Coolies, British Guiana," ordered to be printed 21st of February, 1840, p. 45. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF DYSART.—We regret to announce the decease of the Right Hon. Louisa Countess of Dysart, Baroness Huntingtower, &c., which event took place at her seat, Ham-horse, in the county of Surry, on Tuesday, the 22d instant. Her ladyship was daughter of Lionel, third Earl of Dysart, by Lady Grace Carteret, daughter of John, first Earl of Granville. and was born July 2, 1745. Sbe was married in 1765 to John Manners, Esq; of the Grange, near Grantham, in the county of Lincoln, by whom (who died September 23, 1792) she had issue three sons and four daughters. On i the death of her broth er Wil braham, fifth Earl of Dysart, n 1821, she succeeded to the family honours and estates. . NOVEL MECHANISM.-At the Thompson Arms Hotel, in Sunderland, on Wednesday week, during the serving of the dinner given to Alderman Thompson, the novel sight was witnessed of a table covered with vians, risin ,, from the kitchen to a level with the dining-room , and , the contents being removed to the dining-table, the other descended and again rose with a fresh supply, until the entire dinner was served u. ALDERMAN HARMER.—The election of Lord Mayor of the City of London will take place on Thursday next. Ef forts are making to secure the return of Alderman Harmer to the civic chair, but we hope, and we have the strongest reasons for believing, that this mischievous attempt will be defeated. We anxiously await the result ; for the conduct of the citizens of London upon this ocLiasion concerns us, in an important respect, as intimately as it concerns themselves. Will the greatest city in the world invest with the highest honours it can bestow, WIC who receives a direct profit from the weekly sale of a paper containing the grossest, filthiest. arid most ruffianly attacks upon religion and the throne, that ever disgraced the British press ; a paper which is the de spiser and contemner of all that is good and sacred in our institutions? Will they do this, and thereby stamp with the mark of their approval the dissemination of principles which we know to be exercising the most pernicious influence, not in the large towns only, like this, but in the smallest and re motest villages of the empire ? We speak of Alderman Har mer merely as the holder of by far the larger share of the Weekly Despatch: as such, he is strictly obnoxious to the remarks we have made. The Even ev saying e a n l alderman e h r it m sh aatwnohumel would ag e ko s e s a n for no part nothing, t tempt to defend himself, b the conduct of the paper. since he lives by the paper ; but we state co i n t t as l a fact w ithi n our knowledge, that he has exercised a the insertion or rejection of articles.Moral,or the loyal,decisionreligiousof England is waiting with intense anxietyfor the citizens of London,—Brtyhton Gasette. DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE During the months of April, May, and June, of the pre sent year, there died in the five parishes of Penllyn, Merio nethshire, forty-three persons: the average of the ages of seventeen out of that number was 80 years ! An advocate was lately convicted at Berne of having,need lessly protracted a suit in which he was engaged 13 years, and sentenced to a fine of 25 franks—one pound sterling ! Some inquiries are in progress as to the condition of the Greenwich out-pensioners, with a view to ascertain such as are still capable of active duty. Pheasant shooting commences on Thursday next, the Ist of October. These birds are not very plentiful this season, but remarkably fine and strong in the wing. Government has sent down a gentleman from the Customs to Gainsbro', to inquire into th propriety of making that place a port. Last week, an extraordinarily fine stag was shot by the keeper to Godfrey Wentworth, Esq., at Woolley Park, I ork shire, which weighed 29st. Nibs.; on some parts of this extraordinary animal, the fat was three inches thick. A LOST WAGER.—Just after the St. Leger was run for this year at Doncaster, a person from near Thurlstone, was seen running up and down the course, in a great hurry, first taking one person's hat off, and then another; one gentleman to whom he had taken the liberty of doing so asked him what was amiss, " Wha," said the west countryman, iu his native dialect, `• Ha bet a wager, auze won five paind on a ball'd headed chap, an ha want to foind him if ha can." The Board of Stamps have announced their intention of putting a stop to the clandestine and illegal mode of adver tising, lately adopted by speculators, through the medium of postage covers. In future, all such publications will be charged with stamp duty the same as newspapers. RAILWAY HAILES.—As a luggage train was on its way from Selby to Hull, on Thursday evening last, a hare was seen on its hind legs and staring at the approaching mass. The animal actually remained till it was run over, and of course killed. Shortly afterwards, another hare started up before the engine, ran a head of it for upwards of two hides, and then, whilst in the act of crossing the road, had its head cut off by one of the wheels.—Hull Times. KEIGHLEY CHURCH RATE.—A meeting was held in the vestry of the parish church, on Friday, the 18th inst., the Rev. W. Busrield, the rector, in the chair, for the purpose of laying a church-rate of Id in the pound, which was almost unanimously granted, the only individual who opposed it be ing a teetotal socialist, of the name of Knowles. This must be very gratifying to the new rector, as it is some time since a church rate was obtained in the parish. A CURIOUS AFFAIR.—A person of the name of Wilkinson near Croft, received about a week ago, a parcel by the rail way coach from about Auckland, which upon being opened, presented the appaling spectacle of a dead infant. It might have been still-born, or died through the want of assistance at its birth. Great ingu!ries have been made and active exer tions are still making by the police, to obtain some clue to this marvellous affair, but without success. Various interpreta tions have been put upon this barbarous and inhuman act. — Leeds Inelligencer. TESTIMONIAL OF RESPECT TO THE REV. THEO. INIT. —A deputation of the subscribers waited upon the Rev. Theo. Dury, late Rector of Keighley, on Wednesday week last, to present him with a handsome silver tea and coffee service, as a mark of their gratitude to him, for his services during the period he was rector. And at the same time a massive silver tea caddy, was presented, from the teachers and scholars of the Church Sunday School. The subscrip tions to both the above presents, amounted to about £l4O. DEATH OF LORD KENMURE.—John Gordon, Viscount Kenmure, and Lord of Lochinvar. in the Scotch peerage, died on the 21st instant, in his 91st year. His lordship's titles were restored in 1824, having been forfeited by his grandfather, the sixth viscount. His lordship married in 1781 Miss Morgan, who died in 1815, and by whom he had no issue. Ile is succeeded by his nephew, Lieut. Adam Gordon, R.N., eldest son of his brother, Adam Gordon, who died in 1806. THE LATE CASE OF FANATICISM. — The young man, Molloy, whose extraordinary acts of fanaticism appeared some time since in this paper, continues still at the Meath Hospital, in, we regret to say, a very precarious state. The injuries which he inflicted on himself are of so serious a nature that the physicians are apprehensive they may termi nate in a lock-jaw, which must be fatal. Yet, notwithstand ing the intense pain which the poor man must of necessity suffer, he continues singing hymns, repeating psalms, and quoting texts of Scripture with a fervour which would do honour to the first among our modern saints. Persons in the hospital are obliged to keep watch in his room, both night and day, fearing least his wretched fanaticism might in duce him to complete still greater violence on himself.— Dublin Evening Packet. The number of letters delivered through the postoffice on _ . any particular day in London is very much influenced by cir cumstances. The average number of general post letters is about 30 per cent. greater on Monday than on any other day of the week. Last Christmas day the number of general post letters, outwards, fell about 70 per cent., and the num ber of district post letters about 80 per cent. On the day of her Majesty's wedding, the first fell about 70 per cent., and the second about 25 ; whilst on St. Valentine's day, the first rose about five, and the second 30 per cent. SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A frightful and fatal accident occurred on the Great Western Railway, on Wed eesday afternoon, under the following circumstances. It ap pears that a cow -keeper, named Robert Ruddel, aged eighty years, had been in the habit of crossing the line in pursuit of his avocations, at the Gravel-pits, Keynshani, and on this occasion he was induced, at the request of one of the police, who knew that he was deaf and feeble through his great age, to sit down on a post until after the live o'clock up-train from Bristol to this city, which was momentarily expected, should have passed. He, however, unfortunately left his seat too soon, and got between the rails just as the train came in sight, and, notwithstanding that the whistle of the engine and other signals were used to warn him out of the way, he did not move, and the whole train passed over him, causing his instant death and terrible mutilation. No blame whatever can be attached to the company's servants.—Bath Chronicle. PORTSMOUTIE—The Medea steamer, Commander War den, the Salamander steamer, Commander Henry, and the Hecate steamer, Commander Ward, are preparing in the river for the Mediterranean. The first-named is nearly ready for sea. The Calcutta, 84, Capt. Sir Samuel Roberts, will be ready for sea at Plymouth on the 28th October. The whole of the crew of the Belleisle, 78, have been transferred to her for service in the Mediterranean. The North Star, 26, Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 8., has come into the har bour from the north coast of Spain, and is ordered to be re- fitted with all dispatch to procved to Lisbon for the protec tion of mercantile property. The commodore has struck his broad pennant. The Queen, 110, will be commissioned here next week by Capt. J. W. Montague, for Admiral Sir Edward Codrington's flag. The Indus, 84, will be ready to hoist the pendant on the 12th October. The Vesuvius steam vessel, Commander Henderson, is daily looked for from Cha tham, on her way to join Sir Robert Stopford in the Mediter ranean. The Vengeance, 84, is shortly expected at Ports mouth, from Plymouth, to be fitted as a demonstration-ship. —Brighton Gazette. NEW ZEALAND LANDS.—The Auction Mart was crowded on Thursday, in consequence of the first sale by auction of 1000 acres of land, recently sold by this company to indivi- duals. Much excitement prevailed, and a very - unusual com- petition was the result. Mr. Robins intimated that the company disposed of these lands in sections of 101 acres each —that i; to ;ay, 100 suburban acres, a few miles removed from the intended new city of Wellington. Each purchaser of 100 acres to have one acre given to him adjacent to the city, for his house of business. This was sold (the 101 acres) to the public at £lOO. Mr. Robins sold on Thursday the lots of 101 acres, some for 190 guineas, and the rest from 160 guineas to 140 guineas. When the sale was commencing, Mr:Robins said he just seen a proclamation, dated the 21st of May, from Governor Hobson, whereby " the whole of New Zealand," including the company's settlement at Port Nicholson, " was declared 'a British colony, and sub ject to British laws." By this important document the ground was cleared of every real and imaginary difficulty, and it would be in very bad taste to doubt that the prospects , . . of the New Zealand company were not as flourishing as those of Australia. We animadverted last week, but not with a severity pro portionate to the evil, on the great injury inflicted on public morals by such open profanation of the Lord's day, as that perpetrated by the railroad tour from Leeds to Sheffield. True, the scene was a magnificent one ; magnificent also was the sin ! To violate the commands of God on a grand scale may possibly impose on weak minds ; but, in the eye of cool . . reason, the moral turpitude of so glaring a breacliof them is thereby infinitely aggravated. By the way, w e are at a loss to account for the passiveness of the provincial press, very generally, on a subject of such stirring interest and vital importance. We can only account for it on the supposition that a sinister influence is at work to conceal facts, and stifle the expression of public feeling. In one instance, at least, we know this to have been the case. A well-written article, animadverting in strong but temperate language on the glar ing mismanagement displayed on a recent occasion, lately appeared in a paper published not far from the spot where a dreadful railroad accident had occurred. No sooner was this innocently offensive article seen in the first and limited edition of the paper in question, than the all-powerful influ enee and intimidation of the Directors were forthwith put in motion, which, unhappily for the interests of the public, proved too successfully in totally suppressing it in the subse quent and more widely circulated edition.—Watchman. TIIE EGYPTIAN GU N CARRIAGE.—On Wednesday morn ing a stupendous carriage for the long gun in St. James's park, constructed in the carriage department, and cast by Messrs. Hall, of Dartford, was placed in its destination, St. James's-park. It is divided into five compartments. The first contains the insignia of the Order of the Garter; the second is filled up with a shield and crown, with the initials "G. It. III." in the shield. In the central compartment, Britannia is represented seated, with a shield at one side, and a lion couchant at the other. The perspective is filled up with a view of the ocean, and the Pyramids of Egypt in the distance. The fourth department contains an enormous cro codile, the " slimy monster" of the Nile. The fifth contains the emblems of oriental (or rather, we should say, oriental and accidental) personification—the sabre and the sceptre crossed, and the coronet of feathers, which, to our minds, is associated only with the ideal figure of America. The re verse of the carriage is precisely similar : at the end is this inscription :—" This gun taken in Egypt by the British army, 1801." The wheels, which are placed on a separate truck, are exceedingly massive ; the radii are shaped like the branches of the palm tree. A sphinx lies on the same car riage, intended to lie at the foot of the gun. The weight of the carriage alone is seven tons, eight hundred weight, two quarters, and seven pounds. Those who are acquainted with works of this description consider it an excellent production. We consider the design, however, devoid of that freedom which, in the present state of art, might easily be attained. —Woolwich Gazette. CURIOUS ATTEMPT AT POISONING.—A report has been very current in Nottingham throughout the week, that an attempt at poisoning was made on Sunday last, under cir cumstances of a very mysterious character. A little before o t nly yc h e da ga n uu ac ha e ft te o err f taa N fu l t a eh i l i eu n p i the time of di v i ne serv i ce on S un d ay morn i ng, a young man R ni, ve. w ust h .t o uß , D i o t iet w or bn i l y: b om e f arNrercoioetldtl Nottingham e tils d as , mß a up s l h at ur o ku r took a stroll into the Market-place, where he observed a stranger, who accosted him, and inquired if his name was Manning, and if he had not married Miss Bolton ? The answer, of course, was in the affirmative. The stranger said he had some little news he would tell him about his wife, and where he might find her in London, if he would step aside. Manning, having reason to suppose that his wife was with her father and mother in London, and had been for some weeks, readily went, and had a conversati on , i n w hi c h the stranger mentioned a house in Oxfo r d- street , at w hi c h a t h s e u w i t i is fe u m u i l g v h p t e b u e d ifuog in the Ecclesiastical Court f or a divorce,u Anxious to get a sight of h e r, as which Manning is defending, he listened with a tt ent i on to the tale, made many inquiries, and then expressed himself obliged. Just after closing hls remarks, the stranger took a " pocket pistol" from his side poc ket, and , taking out the cork, appeared to drink ; he theti put . the cork into th e bot tle again, and was about covering t it with a leathe rn case , when he suddenly said, " Oh dear . how ill -mannerly I am not to ask you to drink ;" and , by over-persuasion, he in duced Manning to take a draught, and , b y being p resse d to drink, a second draught. They then parted, and the stranger disappeared. In a short time Manning became sick, and before he could get in at the door he fell, and was taken up by the neighbours in the yard in a state indicating that he was obtained, but Manning still lies in a dangerous state.— had been drinking something poisonous .

At the bridge turn Arctic and Colchicum fell into the rear, and their places were supplied by Ernest and Messmate, with Cruiskeen well up. At the distance Ernest began to cut out the work, challenged Cruiskeen, who here made a desperate effort to maintain her ground. Messmate, who was close at her heels, gradually gained on her, soon showed in front, and reached home first, after a desperate race, with a good length to spare, Cruiskeen and Ernest running a dead heat for the second place.

BRADFORD MARKETS.--There was a good attendance of buyers at our market on Thursday, and considerable business was done in fine six-quarter merinos, Orleans and Saxony cloths and figured pieces. The prices offered were very low, and more business might have been done if the manufacturers could have accepted the terms. The yarn market was rather brisk, at previous rates. The wool market presented no feature worthy of remark, though prices could scarcely be maintained. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, Sept. 25.—The buyers are looking forward to the approaching Loudon sales, and pur chase with caution. Prices are the same as last week for nearly all sorts. _ _ . _ _ LA'src AS HI RE. — Several failures of tolerably large manu facturing concerns have lately occurred in Oldham and the vicinity, yet the machinery in most of the mills is in full operation, the short time working having been discontinued. The hating trade is much more depressed than it was a few weeks ago ; great numbers of hands in that line are suffering distress from the scarcity of work. The cotton spinning and power loom weaving businesses in Crompton are compara tively brisk ; whilst at Royton the cotton trade is slowly improving. A considerable manufactory of locomotive and mill engines has been recently established at Royton. The gingham trade in the neighbourhood of Manchester is mode rately brisk ; four-quarters fancies, and fine goods, five and six colours, are in particular request, more so than they have been for the last four years past; common sorts and low reeds are rather dull ; Nankeens, except particular qualities are rather flat. The flannel trade at Rochdale, which has been in a depressed state for some time past, is now im proving, and hundreds of hands and power loom weavers who have been destitute of employment have now full work, and the trade both in cotton and woollen mills may be said to be much better then they were six weeks past. The calico block printing in the neighbouring towns of Manchester is very flat, and at many large shops hands this week have little more than half employment ; yet it is no worse than is gene rally the case at this season of the year. The printing upon silk warps is unusually brisk, indeed that branch of trade is rapidly increasing every week. The silk weaving at Mid dleton, Failsworth, Leigh, Manchester, and other neighbour ing towns is very brisk, more so than it has been for many years past at this season of the year. Weavers of nearly every quality of goods have full employment, and those who work striped and printed sarsnets at several places have extra wages for their work if taken to the warehouses in a certain time which they have allowed ; indeed there are no operatives in the country doing so well as fancy silk weavers of heavy shawls. One large manufacturer is now making printed shawls, nine colours, selling at £lO and £l2 per shawl. The silk trade, apparently, is only in its infancy in this county : every week it increases, and cotton hand-loom weavers, and persons who have been employed in other trades are changing to the silk business. ,There are many French people and operatives from other countries lately arrived. and com menced weaving the fancy , and other kinds of silk goods. The cotton trade at Blackburn, though rather dull, is im proving slowly, and it is expected that the hands in all the mills will shortly be fully employed. The trade at Heywood, Bury, and Todmorden is no worse. Notwithstanding that the machinery in cotton factories in the above districts is generally in full operation, yet there are a vast number of spinners thrown out of employment by the coupling of jennies, as we mentioned a few weeks ago, and the manu facturers of cotton goods have less profits than we ever knew them to have, and wages of factory operatives generally have lately undergone a reduction. THE NIILITIA.—It has been determined that a general dinner meeting of the officers of that truly con s titutional, but much neglected force, the militia, shall take place in Lon don early in next spring, when Colonel Wood, of the Royal East Middlesex, will take the chair. The dinner will be upon a grand scale. A committee has been appointed, at which Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson, Bart., of the West Kent Re giment, presides, for the purpose of making and carrying into effect the necessary arrangements for the occasion. Circulars have been forwarded to the colonels and adjutants of the different corps to communicate this intention to their officers. NARROW ESCAPE OF THE. LORDS OF THE ADMIRALTY. —The Firebrand man-of-war steamer, with the Lords of the Admiralty on board, on her way from Milford to this port, ran upon the Naas Sands on Tuesday morning, in thick wea ther, and entirely, we are informed, th r o ug h the pilot who accompanied her from Milford altering the course before daylight. She struck heavily, although, fortunately for their lordships, there was not much sea up. She was seen by the Bristol steamer, from Swansea, in her precarious situation. We have authority for stating that there was no Bristol branch pilot on board. The Naas Sands are considered ex tremely dangerous, and their lordships' escape was probably owing to the strength of their ship. Had it occurred on the following day she must have gone to pieces. She struck near the spot where the Frolic was lost, when upwards of 100 souls perished. The Firebrand came up to Cumberland basic' on Tuesday evening, when Lord Minto and the other lords took their departure. Sir William Symons, we hear, remained at the Gloucester Hotel, and examined the iron shop in the Great Western Company's yard on Wednesday. We hear that the Firebrand is gone to Milford to be put into dock and examined.—Bristol Mirror. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 26. The demand was very animated in the early part of the week, particularly from Speculators and an advance of id per lb was currently obtained on the common and fair qualities of American, and id on the better kinds ; and although the dull state of the market at Manchester on Tuesday last checked the inquiry, a fair extent of business has since been done,' but the extreme Ad vance is barely supported. Surat has been in good request, and is rather dearer, Brazil and Egyptian without material change. For Sea Island there has been a good demand, and the decline noticed last week has been regained. Speculators have taken 10,500 American and 500 Surat, and Exporters 200 American and 50 Surat. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 18th instant, to this day, inclusive.

The arrivals from abroad, since this day week, consist chiv-a n i n e . about 6000 qrs. of Wheat. 2400 qrs. of Oats, and 32,300 barrels or Flour. without 3000 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. The supplies of other articles have been trifling. Duties have been paid within the same period ou 5540 qrs. of Wheat, 2400 qrs. of Oats, 64 0 q rs. of Peas, and 13,651 brls. of Flour. The duty on Wheat adv ance: on Friday to 13s 8d per qr., on Oats 3s 3d per qr., and was redu cc n on Barley to lOs 100 per qr. There was a steady demand for Wheat and Flour on Tuesday, at about our last quotations, but the trade since has ruled 'dull, and at Friday's market an abatement of Id to 2d per bushel was submitted to on Foreign Wheat. Americ a ' Flour did not move so freely, and prices were barely supporte d ' New Oats have been in short supply, and remain unaltered in value the finest dried would command 3s 4d per 45 lbs. ; but of Oatmeal there has been a good quantity which has been pros' e ,,, for sale, and has fallen 3s to 4s per load : the best was sold at 28s u° per 240 lbs., at Manchester, on Saturday. Old Oats have been in moderate request, and a cargo of Archangel has been retailed at 3s 20 to 3s 3d per 45 lbs.

Under these circumstances, holders ask an advance in price of about us per cwt. We have not, how ever, heard more than 100 s has been realized for the finest sort. The great probability is, that prices will rule very high during the winter and spring. The general limit upon consigned pickled Butter is 955. Sales are nevertheless made at is to 2s less money. . . • •• The contract for Beef and Pork with which to supply the navy has been taken at 2s for 15,000 tierces of the former, and £6 15s for 15,000 tierces of the latter. The market for provisions is pretty well supported. Pork, indeed, we think worth 2s 6d per barrel more money. Bacon, Hs for tine Belfast, and a force sale.
