MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

The attendance of spinners Unusually large. /0) - t4Ooking to all these reports, from home and u r ead, we are really at a loss to account for the s ettled state our money market has been in for te last m on th. Th e deficiency in the harvest is e only existing cause of uneasiness. We shall, the refore, direct our attention to this subject more b' ll eidarly. From all the information we have , 511 able to glean on the subject we would esti te the failure in our corn crops at about one- T lirt h of an average yield of the United Kingdom. I)o4.l_neet this deficiency we have an increase in the pato and green crops, quite equal to our loss in Ave But even admitting for a moment that we o Of (0 import an extra supply, equal to one-fourth , large average production, our wants are not so stat: 44 to cause any alarm in our present active U nd et trad e , and increased powers of production. about ordinary circumstances we import annually e , 64 ,000,000 bushels, of which more than a third h ue - 1 1 3 2 :een already imported, leaving about 44,000,000 els still to be supplied. Now, if we double this quantity t o h a ll r. Ir make ample provision for our wants, we - "e about 88,000,000 bushels, to carry us a p to the aboutstvanced Xs,Ouext harvest. This supply at the present raoo7ooB in the American market, would cost 0, and whether we are called upon To pay this amount in manufactures or in specie is quite immaterial, w hil e t h e B an k o f E ng l an d holds above of some £ 16,000,000 i n b u llion, over and 40 0Ve the present immensely expanded circulation Of the country, and the constant influx of gold. There is now no longer a doubt as to the possi bility of our being able to supply our own wants ; We are therefore told that means of transit are not 10 be found, and that the immense wants of France -- trnutt.A.n fluence prices in this country, As regards the t l ,,,lle i stion of transit, we find, by an official re reo,r,nelished in the United States, that the high sn e l% -- "s of 1847 had stimulated ship-building to shi „, a n inordinate extent, that the number of her co l t and tonnage had nearly doubled in 1848, as freiptred with the year preceding the year of high gi vt ,").:".s. Since then the trade with California had i'u a fresh impetus to ship-building, and at the 1 ., of 1852, the tonnage of the States amounted 1 1 38,000 against 2,417,002 tons, at the close of r, thus showing an increase of 45 per cent. ieta the s ame r ep or t we find that means of transit r r li °lll the interior to the sea-board has been vastly Ath ere ased. Between the Western waters and the At lantic has since been opened the Northern line fe 44 droads ; the New York Central line made free a ; freight ; th e E r i e ra il ro ad, connecting the lakes kt Plinkirk, and with the Western roads ; the Pen 11•1vania line, and the Baltimore and Ohio road C a° Erie to Wheeling on the Ohio, making. with canal, seven avenues instead of one. In th** 7 , the only great work which fed the lakes was 6 4 ,1 Ohio canal at Cleveland, which delivered I v 7, ; 91 3 barrels of flour in 1847. Since then several kr "ras traversing the Ohio have been opened. These e all circumstances which tend to remove all pellbts on the subject of transit, setting aside alto gether the other means at our disposal. with respect to France, we believe that her 4 4 , to, will be supplied at moderate rates to the fell extent of her available means, without inter ilt`.'ng to any serious extent, with the supplies or y" 8 in our markets. Her wants for the pressing of 1846-7, caused her to import about 5,000,000 tl3 . _ • th e w h o l e o f w hi c h, s h e d rew directly and in i I r eetly from the Black Sea, with the exception of ii,2 1 4 quintals of flour, from the United States. 4 0 ;",..ng the same source to draw upon again, it is likely that she will compete with us, to any r u ;:ene extent, in the American market. With the tk :Ts by which France is to supply her wants, we not have anything to do, still if she should corn tiuto ith us, the extraordinary increase in the pro th".,oll of the States is more than equal to meet p r f ee rland of both countries, and at moderate s b ath all these facts before us, we repeat again, at We cannot sue the remotest grounds for the of -- t r, Which prevails in this country.

ARRIVAL OF THE ALI3ATROSS. BY the Albatross, Captain Geves ; one of Messrs. Gibbs, Bright & Co:s.agle Line of packets, which arrived in the river yesterday afternoon, we have adviceB &mil MelbOurrie to the 17th of June, being, considerably later intelligence than that brought by the last arrival from Australia. The Albatross left Melbourne on the afternoon of the 17th of June, and has thus been 101 days in completing the passage, which, under the ad verse circumstances she had to contend with, is one of the most rapid trips that have yet been made by a sailing Vessel. She was becalmed upwards of a Wiehth under the line. The Albatross brings 65 passengers, but no specie, as the owners would not undertake to incur the necessary risk upon the current terms, which are rather unfavourable. It is, however, under stood that the passengers have a large quantity of gold in their possession. On arriving off Holyhead on Sunday night, the Albatross encountered the full force of the gale, which at the time was raging with terrific violence. The whole of the Ship's canvass, as well as the shrouds was blown away. _ _ _ The " Medway" and the "Typhoon," both sailed from Melbourne for London, before the departure of the Albatross, but they had only two or three passengers each on board. The news brought by the " Albatross" shews that great activity prevails in different parts of the colony, and that commercial and general business operations were progressing rapidly. There had been very large arrivals of flour from the United States, and other arrivals were daily expected. The bay was full of ships, and labour scarce, con sequently lighterage was very dear. The prices of all kinds of goods received by last arrivals, were maintained, and building materials of every de scription were daily increasing in price. The news from the diggings is exceedingly cheering. Gold continues to pour into Melbourne, and new diggings,were daily being discovered. THE OVERLAND MAIL. The steamer Bombay arrived at Trieste on Sun day morning, in 110 hours from Alexandria. _ The Indian mail had arrived at Alexandria, with dates from Calcutta to the 20th August, Bombay the 30th August, and Hong Kong the 6th August. British India was quiet throughout. Famine was still prevailing in Rangoon, and cholera had appeared in many places. There was much sickness among the British troops The Burmese war is at an end, and General Godwin has returned to Calcutta. The Governor-General was in Calcutta. The Chinese insurgents were advancing towards Pekin. _ _ . Ten Chinese on board the clipper ship Arratoon Afear had assassinated the captain and crew. The reports of the indigo crop are unsatisfactory. Business was good at Bombay, and moderately good at Calcutta. Exchange on London at Cal cutta, 2s. O'd., id. ; at Hong Kong, 5 7, 5 8. ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 19 The Egyptian Government has issued an order prohibiting the exportation of grain from Egypt from the 28th inst., but on the representation of the consuls the prohibition may be delayed until the 30th November. THE NEST INDIES, The royal mail steamship Trent, Captain Thomas William Sawyer, arrived at Southampton, at noon, on Sunday, from the West Indies. The Trent left St. Thomas's at noon, on the 7th instant, experi enced fine weather up to her arrival in soundings. She brings a ship letter-bag, but no mails, passen gers, or specie. It is said that out of the original crew which left Southampton in this ship, few re main alive, such being the sacrifice of human life, arising from the deadly nature of the climate and the recent prevalence of yellow fever in this service. As the Trent left St. Thomas's only five days subsequently to the departure of the Orinoco, which reached Southampton on the 17th inst., she brings no news of importance. The royal mail steam ship Thames will bring home the next West India and Gulf of Mexico mails, due on the Ist proximo. The intercolonial packets were generally free from yellow fever. The epidemic was, however, preva lent at Montserrat, Antigua, and Trinidad. Her Majesty's ship Megwra, having on board Governor Wood and staff, Commander-in-chief of the Wind ward Islands, was at Trinadad. QUEBEC, In our summary of news brought by the Europa, which we published yesterday, we alluded to a change which had taken place in the Canadian Cabinet. We now find that such a change has taken place, and that Rolph has taken the Presi dency of the Council, vice Mr. Malcolm Cameron, removed to the Post-office ; Mr. Morin, late Secre tary, has succeeded Dr. Rolph in the Crown lands ; Mr. Moris, late Postmaster, becomes Speaker of the Council, vice Mr. Caron, promoted to a judge ship ; Mr. Solicitor Chanveau becomes Provincial Secretary; and Mr. Dunbar Ross succeeds him as Solicitor. As you will perceive, it is merely a change of men and not of principles. Mr. Hincks still retains his position at the head of affairs; and the Catholic influence still predominates. FRANCE, PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. Although it was stated on Friday evening in the diplomatic circles, that orders had been sent to the British and French Ambassadors at Constan tinople to suggest to the Sultan to summon the combined fleet from Besika Bay, the rumour was not generally believed, and the statement in the London journals, that a portion of the fleet must have left Besika Bay for the Sea of Marmora, has created much sensation. The Prince of Prussia left Berlin for Olmutz on the 23d. The Emperor of Russia arrived at Moscow on the 14th. There was a grand service at the church of the Archangel Michael, at which he was present, with the Grand Duke Nicholas. The Grand Greek Cross was displayed, and great en thusiasm was manifested by the populace. PARIS, Sept. 25, 6 p.m.—Yesterday the Emperor and the Empress paid a visit to the hospitals of Lille, and held a review of the troops stationed in that city. They afterwards inspected the great industrial establishments at Roubaix and Tour coing. Their Majesties returned to Lille at six o'clock in the afternoon, and this morning they continued their journey to St. Omer. The ocean squadron left Cherbourg on Wednes day last for a cruise in the Channel. It is com posed of the vessels Duguesclin, Jean Bart, and Hercule, the steam-frigates Pomone and Caffarelli, and the steam corvette Roland. The Austerlitz, which formed part of the squadron, is still at Cherbourg. The Three per Cents. were done on the Boule vards at 75f. 40c. ITALY. The intrigues of the clerical and retrogade party are beginning to get their efforts felt. In the last municipal elections several names belonging to that party issued from the electoral urn. The Li berals must close up their ranks and come to some understanding at once, if they have had any desire to triumph in the general elections of 1854. A letter from Florence states that the son of the Duke de Cassigliano, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is about to marry one of the daughters of Queen Maria-Christina, and that the marriage is to take place at Paris- The Moniteur ' of Tuscany, merely announces that Prince Corsino, Duke de Cassigliano, has obtained leave of absence. for forty days, and the, Duke Baldasseroni, Presi dent of the council, will have the department of Foreign affairs ad interim during his absence, PIEDMONT, TURIN, SEPT. 24 Yesterday the King held a review of three divi sions of the army in the plain of Alexandria. After a short and energetic speech which the Duke of Genoa addressed to the troops, the Camp at Marengo was br ken up, RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT 17 The Czar and the Grand Duke Alexander, heir to the Crown, arrived at Moscow on the 13th inst. WARSAW, SEPT. 19, The Chancellor, Count Nesselrode, and Baron Meyendorff, the Russian Ambassador at Vienna, b.ave arrived at Warsaw. THE NORTHE SPAIF' The new Cabinet met on the 20th, and its first act was to order the seizure of two journals, the Diario 17spiiizol and Tribuno. They afterwards de liberated on the appointment of the authorities of Madrid and of several high functionaries of the State, General Pezuela was spoken of as Captain General of that capital; and M. Zaragoza as its political chief. The Three per Cents. were done at 431 ; the New Three per Cents: at 231; the Debt of the First Class, at 10 340; and that of the Second, at 51. THE HON. MRS. NORTON'S WRONGS (FROM THE LEADER.) Our readers have had a week to reflect upon the letter of Sir John Bailey, and they will probably agree with us in thinking that the statement by that gentleman, who was appointed as judge be tween husband and wife by Mr. Norton himself, is conclusive. Mrs. Norton has declared that she will write no more, and Mr. Norton, we anticipate, could not benefit his case by adding another word to it. We will treat the latest letter by the umpire exactly as we treated the letter on both sides, pre suming its representations to be true, without sup posing that we can do anything to add lo its au thenthety or credibility. We take it as it stands. According to this statement, then, Mr. Norton invited counsel to give him an " opinion," and sup plied that counsel, not with a real case, but with " a series of invented fables which he had strung together," and it is the opinion upon these fables which he advanced in his letters to Sir John Bailey's. Mrs. Norton was " anxious only on one point—the restoration of her children ;" the hus band was " anxious only about the pecuniary part of the arrangement, and obviously making the love of the mother for her offspring the means of bar ter and gain." While Mr. Norton made undue statements of his wife's expenses and extrava gancies, he detained her wardrobe, jewellery, and books. She offered to pay her own bills, kit Mr. Norton's solicitor replied that " there was no under taking that, even if she did pay her bills, her pro perty should be returned to her." Mr. Norton confesses to gross personal violence towards his wife—on one occasion kicking her room door from its hinges, and dragging her out by force, not long before the birth of her youngest son. The wife was " reasonable " in her language , and desirous to be at peaee with " her children's father." He pro mised to return her children, and at his counsel's dictation wrote a letter, which that gentleman posted, Mr. Noiton being "base enough to write a second letter," unknown to the arbitrator, to forbid the coming of the children, " and come they did not" Mr. Norton admitted his firm belief of his wife's innocence of the charge he had brought against her and Lord Melbourne, and then adver tised it in the papers ! " I then," says Sir, John Bailey, " certainly changed my opinion." The public had been some what impressed with the rights of the husband, and the confident statement put forth by Mr. Nor ton; but the public will henceforward read Mr. Norton's statement by the light of Sir John Bai ley's commentaries. What, then, do we find to be, according to the statement of the judical authority, his true story of an English wife ? She is deprived of her children, and falsely accused of extravagance by her husband, who withholds her property—even her personal effects ; she is advertised in the paper by her husband, who confesses her Innocence ; she is subjected to personal violence by her husband who had endearingly besought her to return; and ultimately, when he is made answerable for the debts of a wife who he has persisted to hold in bondage, he permits her to be dragged into a pub lic court, and meets the exposure of the facts by a reiteration of all that has been refuted by his own arbitrator. The simple statement of this case is enough to excite indignation, wherever natural feeling has not been stifled by the custom of the country. But, we are to reflect that, this case had in it something peculiar. Mrs. Norton is, no doubt, a woman sharing the ordinary feelin g of her sex, and, on that account alone, to be the object of tenderness and honour. But, besides that, she is a woman endowed with many gifts of nature, which point her out as peculiarly calling for honour from any man upon whom she bestowed her hand. In this sense, although beauty cannot claim to have rights of its own, yet as enhancing, the sacrifice, it might, at all events, have consti tuted, with other reasons, a ground why she should have been received to the heart and hearth of any man as an object more precious than an ordinary gift, especially when she had united herself to a man who has taken the pains to stamp his own grade before the public. But, besides beauty, Mrs. Norton is also endowed with the rarer charms of genius, and its most refined accomplishments ; she has wedded feeling and grace to the English language, both in its prose and verse ; and has a reputation far transcending the bounds of her native country. To be permitted to provide a home for one of the most distin guished living intellectual celebrities of a country renowned in letters ; to be chosen as the companion of one of the most beautiful women, in a country celebrated for its beautiful women, might have ex torted a sense of proud gratitude in the heart of any man fully endowed with the faculties of man's nature. Mr. Norton, it appears, did not acknw ledge any such sense. The woman who is received with homage in the highest society in the land, who is honoured by the whole people, was by him sub jected to a shuffling avoidance of promises, to the " Greenacre" correspondence, to charges which he confessed to be false, to advertisements in the newspapers, pointing her out for the contempt of the virtuous and the discredit of the commercial world, and to personal violence. _ . . And yet, we have a right to say, such stories are discovered in good society, are not treated as in credible, not as unparalleled monstrosities, but are only matters of debate and of evidence, like any ordinary quarrel. The husband in this case, who thus treats his wife and judge, is still himself a judge of summary jurisdiction in cases of wife and husband ! And although this wrong stands fla grant before the public, there is, it appears, no law which can procure redress, or even the common justice of independent industry for the woman, although that woman is a Caroline Norton. BURGLARY AT KNO WSLEY, THE SEAT OF THE EARL OF DERBY. Yesterday morning, Knowsley Hall, the seat of the Right Hon. Earl of Derby, was burglariously entered and several valuable articles stolen from the dressing rooms of the Earl and Countess. It would appear that an entrance woe fire+ offootod by the burglars through the ennlung houao window, in which two panes of glass were broken to permit ingress. On getting through the window, however, the burglars found that the door leading to the hall was well secured, and this induced them to retrace their steps and seek another means of entrance. In their second attempt, they were far more successful, having gained access to the hall by means of a window which had been left unfastened, opening into the main corridor leading to Lord and Lady Derby's bed and dressing-rooms. The burglars entered his lordship's dressing-room, and stole from his dressing-case a large bunch of seals, six sovereigns, the silver tops of the various articles in the dressing case, and a variety of small but valuable articles. From her ladyship's dressing-case several articles were also stolen. The thieves retired with their booty, without causing the slightest disturbance, and the fact of the hall having been entered, and a robbery committed, was not known until an advanced hour in the morning. On the discovery of the robbery, information was at once forwarded to the Central Police Office, and detective officers Murphy and Sullivan were at once despatched to Knowsley. After a very minute examination of the pre mises, the officers returned to town in the course of the afternoon; but, we believe, as yet no clue has been got to the perpetrators of the robbery. It is a singular circum stance connected with this affair that there were large quantities of silver plate lying about the house, not an article of which was touched. THE BONES OF PAGININI.—It may be recollected that the celebrated violinist, Paginini, died at Nice about 14 years ago, and that the bishop refused to allow him to be interred in the consecrated ground, on account of his having died without receiving the sacraments. His executors had the body removed to a private place, and commenced legal proceed ings. The Court of Nice having decided against them, they applied to the Archipiscopal Court of Genoa, which reversed the judgment of the lower court, and ordered the remains of Paginini to be interred in the cemetry. The Episcopal Court of Nice appealed against this decision to the Court of Turin, which has since confirmed it. Now, as three appeals are allowed in ecclesiastical matters, the Court of Nice has appealed, as the last resort, to a tribunal of judges to be appointed by the Holy See, and there the matter rests for the present.

The CHAIRMAN said he was sure the Council would be glad to listen to him. Mr. Alderman HARVEY then said, he thought there was one point in respect of which, though Mr. Langworthy was generally correct. he was wrong, and that was as to con tinuing the services of any one when they were beneficially and efficiently discharged. Now when they had a member of parliament who perf or med his duty well, the electors were very glad at having the opportunity of re-electing that member of parliament, and they had done so from time to time in that borough. So he thought when an alderman had efficiently fulfilled his duties to the council and to th borough, it was the duty of the Council to re-appoint hir from time to time (hear, hear). It did not b them t elect a man of inferior attainments, when they could secure the services of a gentleman who had discharged them with great efficiency on former occasions (hear, hear). Ma. CHODWICK thought the highest honour that could be conferred upon him had been paid to Mr Longworthy, inasmuch as he was elected to the office of Alderman by the unanimous votes, not only of the Council, but of the burges ses, (hear, hear). And it was because the burgesses were under the impression that modesty would prevent Mr. Longworthy from consenting again to accept the office the requisittons were got up, (hear, hear). The burgesses signed the requisitions, because they thought there was no one in the Borough so well qualified for the office, or so highly entitled to that honour, (applause). Tho subject then dropped. SANITARY PRECAUTION The Town CLERK (Mr. Gibson) said, it had been con sidered requisite to put a notice on the paper respecting the sanitary precautions that had been taken in the borough, least circumstances might render it necessary, or the council might be desirous, of having a report concerning sanitary im provements effected, or in progress. However, the Mayor went out of the town and he (the Town Clerk) had not re ceived instructions to make a - written report on the subject. However, he might state that a meeting of the General Paupers Committee had been held, at which it was resolved to appoint a special Sanitary Committee, to carry out the powers possessed by the various local authorities. That was done in consequence of the issuing of the re cent order of the Privy Council respecting sanitary precautions. Amongst the members of the special com committee were the chairman and deputy-chairman of the Nuisance, Lamp, Highway, and Watch Committees, all of whom bad certain sanitary nowPrg Pn trusfnd 4.". " rrh. authorities of the neighbouring township of Pendleton were also acting in unison with the official committee. Almost every house in the borough was in the course of being visited, and nuisances were continually being removed. The hoard of guardians were also co-operating with the Town Council. The whole of the sanitary authorities and officers in the borough are working in conjunction, and as one combined force (hear, hear). He apprehended that tha principal grounds of complaint in the shape of nuisances would' in a few days either have been removed or be in course of removal. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Alderman HARVEY said, he was one of those ap pointed to visit parties, in 1829, when the cholera made its first appearance. He then visited something like 500 dwellings. At that time the boroughreeve, constables, and churchwarden, granted a portion of the money, under their controul, in providing additional clothing for the poor. Something like 300 or 400 pairs of blankets, besides other articles of comfort, were distributed amongst the necessitous, by those who had charge of Booth's charity. The town was now in a condition much superior to that in which it then was ; the streets were in a much better state, a great additional amount of drainage having been effectually carried out. And he hoped and trusted that they should not have such grounds of apprehension, as to the fatal results of the cholera, should it again visit the borough, as they had on the occasion to which he referred. He mentioned that, so that parties might not feel unnecessary alarm on the subject. (Hear.) He was satisfied that cleansing and ventilation would be a great means of preventing the growth and spread of the cholera. •-counti idden t of these r bed of`c f their t not, 1 people to prov F.
