AUSTRALIA. By the Overland Mail we have received advices from Australia three days later than those received by the Victoria. The Cleopatra steamer, it appears, was to sail early in October, or simultaneously with the Slianghae, by which the present advices have reached England. We have received a private letter from Ballarat, which says—" The business of the diggings proceeds quietly, and I believe as successfully as of late. Individual cases of fortune are not as much talked of, but I believe that this arises from the fact that lucky parties do not expose !the amounts of their yields as they did when the extraordinary quantities lately obtained first burst upon their astonished sight. "The late heavy rains have caused the diggers an enormous amount of extra labour, and in fact it is almost impossible to conceive the privations of comfort, -and the misery endured by those engaged in deep sinking during this bad weather. Hundreds are pouring in from all quarters ; we have arrivals from all the other diggings and colonies. (From the Adelaide South Australian Register, September 29.) We publish to-day an amended summary, correct ed up to last evening, for special transmission by the Shanghae and Cleopatra. In the Legislative Council yesterday, Mr. Hare drew attention to the Adelaide Land and Gold Com pany's doings: Several members followed one ano ther in condemning the proceedings of this society, which only found a defender in Mr. Neales. A motion was carried directing his excellency's atten tion to the matter. The manifest of gold to arrive by the next escort was received at the colonial treasury yesterday. This quantity is 10,714 oz. 10 dwts., contained in 326 bags. This is considerably more than double the quantity received by the last escort, and may probably be taken as the prelude to still larger consignments by succeeding opportunities. We are convinced that the diggers would readily pay one shilling per ounce, instead of sixpence for the carriage of their gold to Adelaide; and if this price were fixed by the government it would assist in meeting the expenses of the escort, and perhaps avert the necessity of resorting to other means of bringing the produce of SOuth Australian labour here. The value of the gold now on the road will be, in round numbers, about .Z 40,000. This quan tity kept up monthly for twelve months would add half a million to our capital at the end of the year. The chance of increasing our means to that extent year by year is not to be despised, and we hope that every possible effort consistent with propriety will be made to maintain the escort in its present state of efficiency. The arrival of the barque Caroline, has been anxiously expected. The Caroline left Berwick on the 15th of April, and having put in at Simon's Bay, Cape of qoud Hope, for supplies, resumed her voyage thence on .the 4th of August. The passengers are the engineer, mechanics, miners, and others engaged by the Strathalbyn Mining Company, and the cargo comprises a pumping engine of 160 horse power, and a crushing engine of 14 horse, with 50 tons of coals, the property of the company. (From the _Melbourne Argus, Sept., 26.) No change of importance has occurred in our markets since the publication of our commercial report on Friday last. Gold has remained station ary during the week, the demand for shipment by the Victoria and the Roxburgh Castle having kept the price steady at 3/. 16s. 9d. until Saturday, when it fell to 3/. 16s. 6d., purchases having been closed. MELBOURNE GOLD CIRCULAR. The price of gold declined on the closing of purchases yesterday for the Victoria. It is now 765. 6d. To-day, however, there arose a brisk demand for shipment to the East by the Shanghai, which could not be supplied, the market having been completely cleared for the Victoria. The news from Bendigo is, that things are going on well, ant Beneral satisfaction is felt at the 40s. license-fee. At the tioulout. a rush had taken place to a gully four miles from tha principal workings, but had not turned out so rich as had been reported. At WTvor very little was doing, the Ovens attracting great numbers, both from that field and the Goulburn. From Ballarat's " jewellers' shops " the amount of gold was still great, many diggers realising handsomely, while other unfortunates were getting none. Digging, or, more properly, mining, at this field now is a matter of serious undertaking, and requires a considerable amount of means to ensure anything like success. Some rties have been at an outlay of 6001. before coining to the bottom; but when onee there, the. yit.hl has richly conm_ pensated fps t h i,llloA - of the amount of gold brought to Melbourne and Geelong by escorts, 1853, compared .with the corresponding quarter of 1852_: 1852. 1853.

The Victoria steamer has taken the largest amount of gold since that shipped by the Roxburgh Castle in November, 1852. £1,500 in specie has arrived this week.

EDWARD KHULL, Bullion-broker. 55, Great Collins-street West, Sept. 24, 1853. LABOUR MARKET, SEPT. 24. Labour of every description is still scarce, in consequence of the great numbers of working men who have left town within the last two or three weeks for the diggings. Female servants are much wanted, and agricultural la bourers. Considerable difficulty is found in procuring sea men, either for the run home or short voyages. GEELONG GOLD CIRCULAR. The price has risen slightly during the week; at the pre sent date it is quoted at 765. 7d. It has been very much in demand by the merchants, for remittance, at that figure. It is supposed that for the three months that must elapse before au export duty is laid on, that the price will rise and fall by every vessel on the point of sailing, as at the above rate the banks are not operating, and the rise at present ascribed solely to the merchant. The supply has been pretty good, but not not equal to the demand. Everything is reported quiet at the diggings. The seem ing disposition now on the part of the government to give the diggers' case the fullest consideration, has soothed, to a great extent, their late excited and angry tone. The amount of licence exacted in the meantime (X 2 for the three months) cannot be considered any hardship ; but it will be found that the late threatening attitude of the diggers did not proceed so much from a determination to have the tax lightened, as to get rid of that disgraceful, degrading state they were held in, by the arbitrary officials on the ground. The Mount Alexander quarter is decidedly improving, as the escorts from thence, lately, will show. Ballaret is getting a large population, attracted by the late extravagant finds. A good many are making handsome fortunes—a great many doing little or nothing. Some large lots of gold have been brought to town by private hand, and the greater part of the gold sold is found to be independent of the escort. Since last circular, there has arrived by escort as follows. Castlemaine Escort ..41,681 ozs. Ballarat do 13,615 " Mount 31‘Ivor do Total... 68,856 ozs. Exchange on London.—The Banks at present buy at par and sell at two per cent. premium. Freight of gold deli vered in London, 41 per oz. Insurance of ditto, 21 guineas per cent. Wx. PATERSON. Sardinia Street. ACCIDENT TO THE "ALFRED. " —On Friday morning, after some temporary repairs were executed on board this ship she was got into the Bramley-Moore dock. After the leak in the bow was stopped the pumps were able to keep her free from above 30 Inches of water. SOUTH AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE OLINDA. The Brazilian screw steamer Olinda, Captain Haram, has arrived at Cork, and her mails were received here on Saturday morning. The delay in her arrival has been caused by a slight derange ment in her machinery, and a detention of five days in quarantine at Lisbon. She left Monte Video on the 4th, Rio Janerio on the 13th, Bahia the 18th, Pernambuco the 20th, St. Vincent the 29th ult., and Lisbon on the Bth inst. She brings dates from Buenos Ayres to the 29th October, 43 passengers, and £7,726 in specie. On the Bth December the Olinda passed the British squadron of six sail near Lisbon. From the Buenos Ayres British Packet, we learn that after a rather protracted term of oscillations, the ministry was definitely arranged on the 19th October, in the following form : Dr. Irineo Portela, for government and foreign affairs; Don Juan Bautista Pena, Finance ; and Colonel Manuel Escalada, war and marine. Of these, Messrs. Pena and Escalada have had experience in their respective departments ; whilst the activity, general intelligence, and patriotic devotion of Dr. Portela, entitle him to a fair and impartial trial, in the arduous and important post assigned to him in the administration. The new ministry has not yet announced any definite programme of policy; but from its compo sition, the known character of its members, and the deference due to public opinion, we are entitled to infer, that it will be one of peace and conciliation, economy and reform, impartial justice and liberty of action : and the community at large, we are convinced, is prepared to accept and appreciate such a system. But on extending our view on the national or ganisation, there is a dark and mysterious veil, that forbids us to speculate with the same certainty or complacency. After three months and a half of cool reflection, the advances of Buenos Ayres have been meet with little else, so far as we can yet see, than studied neglect and cold disdain ; and the election of the fiirst constitutional president, fixed for the 20th of the ensuing November, is probably dei tined to rear an insuperable barrier to the patriotic wishes of the wise and good of all parties and sec tions of the republic. The elevation of General Urquiza to the presidency of the 13, if not neces sarily the knell of open war, will at least so far debilitate the chances of peace, as seriously to affect the interests and prospects of foreign com merce. In this view the apparent determination of the sister provinces, and the preverse tendency of an insidious foreign diplomacy, are to be depre cated and deplored. Buenos Ayres, we are per suaded, will do every thing in her power to avoid a collision ; but if General Urquiza finds himself with the means of hostilising us, we have good reason to fear that he will not be over-scrupulous as to the pretexts for fixing a quarrel on us. His impotency, from the exhausted and distracted state of the interior provinces, and the disappearance of his faithful allies in Monte Video, is our only guarantee of a hollow peace; and in that forced and false position we cannot expect commercial interests to thrive and expand. The same print of the 22d says—The royal mail steam packet, not having made her appear. ance here or at Mont Veideo, has excited much painful anxiety, and given rise to a variety of con flicting reports. That there has been some mishap we fear is too likely ; but as to its nature and extent nothing reliable is known up to the hour of our going to press—The Steamer Uruguay, ex pected from Montevidos this morning, has not made her appearance, which enhances the per plexity. On the 29th the same paper says—" After a week of painful suspense, we are in the same ignorance as to the cause of the delay. The first report as to her having been seen about the mouth of this river on the 18th proves altogether unfounded ; for in a Rio Janeiro paper of the 11th inst., the sailing of the Prince for Montevideo is announced for the 13th whilst nothing is said as to the arrival or non arrival of the European mail at Rio, on the date re ferred to—The Argentina, with the correspondence by the Liverpool line, which was confidently ex pected from Monte Video this morning, has not made her appearance. which prolongs and enhances the now painful anxiety. In Monte Video the recent revolUtion appears to have consolidated itself. The nowa from the rmal . guards of the capital have been disbanded. The two legal Presidents, Giro and Oribe, had embark ed ; but seem undecided as to their ultimate desti nations. Don Lucas Moreno dared to present himself here, and met with a reception a la Haynau. October must be classed as a dull business month, chiefly owing to the imperfect assortment of goods, in special demand at this season. We are now reaping the fruits of the derangement occasioned by the late blockade. The few arrivals that have been during the past months, are a mere drop in the bucket, and it is needless to expect anything approaching an average dispatch, till the supplies are made up by fresh arrivals. The demand for this capital and province is decidedly good ; and the first cargoes that arrive may reckon on a quick and advantageous market. For the interior provinces scarcely anything has yet been done ; partly owing perhaps to our defective assortments, but principally, we believe, from the dense uncertainty that el Inds our future prospects. Of the few dealers that have presented themselves, some. not content with what they found here, have proceeded to Monte Video, which we suspect they are destined to find in pretty much the same predicament, as regards choice and variety As yet there is a constraint, or want of confidence and cordiality in our commercial relations with the sister provinces, that is much to be deplored. EXPORT PRODUCE.—In ox hides and tallow, &e., the supplies continue stinted, with a still upward tendency in the general market. At the present price of cattle, the operations of the Saladeros Must be on a limited scale, and the probability is that prices of export produce generally will con tinue to rule high. At present we see no reason to change or modify the general views.on this subject, recorded in our late retrospects. The wool harvest has fairly commenced; and some sales have been effected at extremely high prices. We suspect there may be some difficult• in conciliating the pretensions of buyers and sellers; but the article itself will unquestionably find its way to its proper destination and in regard both to quantity and quality, it will undoubtedly be greatly superior to any clip that has been remitted from this quarter. It is still too early to judge of the prospects of the wheat harvest ; but we have heard say that the quantity sown is greater than usual ; and up to the present date, the season has been every thing that could be desired. Instead of importing either wheat or flour, we trust our farmers may have something to spare, to eke out our export re sources. Important reforms in the import and export tariff are pending in the Chamber of Representatives, but in the actual state of the import market, we believe they have only a very secondary part in the apparent dullness alluded to. The drafts of law, presented by the late provisional government, now under discussion, and likely to be sanctioned, invalve important modifications in favour of general commerce ; and are expected to come into opera tion on the Ist of January, 1854. To appreciate the general bearing of the measure, suffice it to say, that the duties of 35, 40, and 50 per cent. are reduced to 25 as the maximum ; whilst the absolute prohibition of from 80 to 90 articles, on the fliMsy pretext of protection to articles of home production, is entirely done away with. In articles of daily consumption we have had a fair proportion of arrivals from the Mediterranean; whilst those from the Continent, the United States, and Brazil, have' been much under a fair average.' The uncertainty arising from the, late blockade may account for the more distant ports; but at the pre:, sent prices of sugar, rice, and other products of the neighbouring empire, it is strange that supplieS should be so long in coming forward. With the prospect of an immense demand, lumber is both scarce and dear; which we fear may derange the spirit of enterprise, of which there are many clear and auspicious indications in this province. With reduced duties and a rapidly increasing population we confidently anticipate a greatly increased con! sumption. Under the new law wheat, flour, and Indian corn will be admissible at all times, the first paying a fixed duty of one silver dollar per " fanega," equivalent to about four Winchester bushels ; the second one silver dollar per cwt. ;' and. the third six silver rials per fanega. By the provisions of the impending law, a few additional articles are saddled d rith a low export duty. Of these, wool is the most important; the proposed duty on which, at the present rate of exchange, is equivalent to about two shillings per cwt. One cwt. of find washed wool is worth at least four times one cwt. of common dirty wool, and it seems fair that both should be taxed in the act of exportation in the same amount ; more especially as the inequality will be in favour of the rich, and to the disadvantage of the poor. _ _ From Rio we learn that all the bank shares had been taken at the government premium ; they had since sold at higher premium. Exchange on Lon don, 27k. At Pernambuco the supply of new sugars had been confined to a few thousand bags of ordinary and middling Muscovados, which met with a ready sale at from 1,800 to 1,960, or 16s. ld. to 17s. per cwt. Beneficial rains had fallen. At Bahia, exchange was quoted 27d. Freights had advanced. The crops of sugar will be very deficient At Rio the shares of the New National Bank had been subscribed for with a feverish excitement, and maintained a premium of 10 per cent. The Emperor had granted a concession for a railway from Bahia to the River San Francisco. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN AT SOUTHAMPTON. The West India royal mail steam-ship company's steamer the Great Western, arrived at Southampton on Saturday morning, with advices from Buenos Ayres to the 2nd November, Rio Janeiro Ist, Pernambuco to 22nd ult., St. Vincent Ist December, and Lisbon the 12th ; Monte Video the sth, and Bahia the 19th'ult. She brought £7,300 in specie, one box of gold dust, and diamonds, value £11,600. Her advices from the various ports are very little later than those by the Olinda, two days being the utmost from any port touched at, except Lisbon, and the news she supplies adds nothing of interest to the above.. We have news of the loss of the Brazilian steam packet company's vessel Pernantbucana on the 11th of October, near St. Katherine's, where upwards of forty passengers were unfortunately drowned. Those who were saved had been taken to Rio in a steamer, and a large sum of money had been sub scribed for their assistance. BUENOS AYRES.—OcT. 31. ENGLAND.—The Celeritas, Gauntlet, T. 0., and Ferris, have completed their engagements, the Eliza Jenkins, Maine Laws, and Thomann have engaged full cargoes all at 555. salted hides, 655. tallow in pipes, and 455. bales. The Maria Key, Orion, and Hydra have engaged all their tallow and hides at the same rates, and require only bales to complete their engagements. The Alliance, Rielimmid, Priscilla, and Wilton Wood have engaged portions of their cargoes at the same rates. The Kanarsha has been char tered to load bone ash and bones for Southampton at 50s. in full. Tallows and salted ox and cow hides have been extremly scarce during the month, the principal engagements having been for horse grease and horse hides, which continue offering in fair quantities, the arrivals continuing moderate, freights have remained very steady and without any alteration during the month. The british bark Namelita has been chartered for England, at 525. 6d. salted hides, and 625. 6d. tallow, and 5 if ordered to Liverpool, and ls. 6d. per ton extra if ordered to London: FREIGHTS TO ENGLAND.—SaIted hides, 555. ; dry hides, 955. ; tallow in pipes, 655. ; tallow in boxes, 555. ; bale s wool, 455. ; bales hair, 455. ; dried beef, Os. ; primage, 6s. SALT. October 10th, British barque Alliance, from Cadiz, with about 3,500 fanegas, half of which was sold at 18 hard rials the fanega, and the remainder at 17 hard rials the fanega, both on board. On the 13th October, th e Danish Schooner Hydra, from Cadiz, with about 1,600 fanegas, 700 fanegas of which was sold at 18 hard ri a l s , the fanega on board, and the remainder is retailing at 16 to 17 hard rials. October 16th, British barque Priscilla from Lisbon, with about 2,200 fanegas,. sold at 16 h ar d Tials, the fanegas on board ; a lso two Spanish vessels arrived the early part of the month, from Cadiz, bringing each about 1,000 fanegas, which was sold at 20 hard rials. Sixteen hard rials maybe considered as the highest price obtainable for this article, and even at this figure it is difficult to realize, as the killing establishments have not yet commenced operations. No further charters have been made to bring salt from Cape de Verde Islands. COALS.—The cargo per Gasparino, mentioned in my last has been landed for importers' account. On the 14th October, the British barque Richmond arrived, price not transpired. On the 16th Oct., the Bremen barque Adelaide arrived from Antwerp with about 250 tons, which is landing for importers' account. Other small lots have arrived by general vessels, more or less, 200 tons, which have been sold at 11 hard dollars per ton on board. The price is not obtainable to-day for an entire cargo.

COMMITTALS FOR PETTY THEFTS.—Mary Price, for steal ing some cotton from a bale on a cart as it was passing near the docks. Seven days. Peter Jackson, for stealing two hair brushes from a shop in Whitechapel. Fourteen days.—Anthony Royburgh for stealing a deal board, the property of Mr. Holmes. Seven days. —Sarah Alexander was remanded for seven days, in consequence of being charged by a sailor with robbing him of £4 .n a pablie house, and John Kelly was committed for seven days for stealing copper off a cart in South Castle-street. ROBBERY BY A WORKMAN. —John Black, an elderly man in the employ of Messrs. Leashman and Welsh, was charged by detective officers Murphy and Sullivan, with stealing a quantity of block tin and other metal from the foundry in Vulcan-street. From information the officers received the previous even ing, they watched the prisoner in the foundry, and just prior to leaving, having worked after the other hands, he was observed to take up several pieces of metal, knock them into a convenient shape, and deposit them about his person. The officers searched his premises, where 281bs. of tin, and one pound of copper, the pr )perty of his employers was found, The magistrates committed him for trial. A TRICK WITH A HAT.—James f'Halty, a stranger at the police-office, was charged with stealing a hat. The prisoner, on the previous evening, went into a public house in Tithebarn-street, where several gentlemen were in company when the defendant volunteered to show them a trick with a hat. As he was only possessed of a cap, he made a friend of one of the company, and borrowed a hat and pertirmed a trick. But the trick of the evening he performed subsequent to the collection, which was that of securing the best hat in the room, placing it on his head and walking off with it, leaving his old greasy cap in its place. He was followed and given into custody, and the magistrates committed him for seven days, advising him to be more cautious with his hat trick in future. INFORMATION AGAINST A CAR-.OIVNER.—W illiam His nett and John Murray, owners of car No. 505, appeared in reply to two informations, which were laid against them by inspector Johnson, for plying for hire in Canean-street, and not having their names and number on the doors ; and also for employing John O'Hare, an unlicensed driver, to drive the same. They were fined ss. in each case. O' Hare was fined 2s. for driving without a license. SMUGGLING.—A man named Reterson, charged with smuggling three pounds of foreign manufacture& tobacco, which was found concealed on his person, was fined 305., the value of the tobacco, or in default, to be imprisoned for fourteen days. On Thursday, at the borough sessions, the recorder repri-: mamled Mr. Campbell, an attorney, for having applied, in the case of a prisoner in custody for felony, to have a watch, found on him, but which formed no part of Vie stolen pro perty, given up, to enable the man to obtain money for his defence. The Recorder made the order, the watch was given up, and then the Recorder found that Mr. Campbell had already had 3 gnineas towards the defence. His wor ship said a deception had been practised. lie ordered the watch to be restored by Mr. Campbell, and said he would consider whether or not he would not suspend him from practice in his court. TILE P.R_ESTON STRIKE [PROM OUR OWN REPORTER.] PRESTON, Saturday Evening. Two or three weeks ago I mentioned that Messrs. Napier and Goodair (a firm unconnected with the masters' associ ation,) had commenced running short time in the weaving department of one of their large mills. The hands, upwards of 400 in number, have now resumed full time. It appears that the temporary restriction of work was caused by the weavers consuming. more yarn than was manufactured by the firm, who, in the present state of trade, declined pur chasing. Being now about to open a new mill, they will be able to supply the weavers with yarns of their own spinning. As an illustration of the condition to which some of the unemployed are reduced, it may be recorded that at a meet ing of spinners held in the Temperance-hall last night, an operative named Giles Howarth, made the following startling statement :—" There is suffering, said he, in the town of Preston, and such suffering as few have any id ea a b ou t w h o are not familiar with the homes and haunts of misery. I myself know a family who have visited a slaughter-house regularly, and fetched blood and used it without, anything like groats or bread to mix with it. There is also another man who has been without food until he has been seen picking the bits out from the wash that was put by for pigs. These statements are not made at random, they are the result of observation, and, added the speaker, they brand the manufacturers of Preston with infamy." At the' weekly meeting held in the orchard this afternoon, from ten to twelve thousand of the unemployed assembled. Mr. Waddington, of Preston, presided. The CHAIRMAN said they had everything to encourage them to continue in the course they had hitherto pursued. The people of the outer districts, like the people of Preston, were more determined every day that came. He was in one district on Wednasday, where they were running short time; and on account of their running short time, they had doubled their subscriptions. (Cheers) Yesterday, the committee received a letter from Hyde where they were now working short time. Previously their subscriptions were £6O per week : but to-morrow, they would receive £lOO. (Cheers.) At a place called Selmont, the looms were standing all last week, and the people had actually subscribed 6d. per loom to Preston. (Cheers) He antici pated that the weavers' fund for the ensuing week would be £2,500, and that in the week fcllowing it would he increased £3,500. _ _ Mr. COWELL exhibited five notice papers, as a sample of those issued to the operatives of Burnley, when the mills were closed. The Burnley` masters, said he, have a curious way of disfiguring these documents, in order that they may ma)c.e known who are " stump orators" and who are not. I have got five of these papers, and there are five classes of opera tives in Burnley. I have one here belonging to a man who is a "stump orator." The man is never to have work in Burnley while he lives. But lam happy to tell you the operatives have now got forty-eight looms, and they are de termined to keep these men in Burnley, whether the masters will or not. (Cheers.) The second paper has a narrow printed border at one edge distinguishing it from the first, which is without ; this indicates a doubtful character. He may be forgiven if he will go and humble himself, and say " please, master, if you'll only employ the once more, I'll never have anything further to do with a trade union." Here is another (producing a third paper) not quite so bad as the rest. On presenting this at the next place he goes to, the master will look at it and say—" 0, I see ; you are not quite so bad as some ; and if you will . promise me never to have anything to do with a trades union, nor support any turn-out or lock-out, whether local or distant, I will find you work." Then I come to a fourth, with a private mark across it ; this belongs to a full-grown man, who never did any wrong in his life (Laughter.) You see this fifth document, with two stamps upon it : when a man presents this, he is at once known as an inoffensive character—one who has never taken an active part, in any agitation—who is entirely passive in the hands of the masters. Now, the Burnley people have furnished me with these papers, in order to convince the public of the tyranny. the imposition, and the rascality of their employers. The speaker then noticed an article in the ilf , nchester Guardian, in which it was insinuated that the delegates were running away with £25 out of every £lOO collected. In reply, he showed from the 14th report, that whilst the delegates only received £22 Bs. for the week, (and there were about a dozen of them), they had brought in £2067 13s. 7d. Was that, he asked, taking £25 out of every £lOO ? (Cheers.) Speaking of Blackburn, Mr. Cowell said—l feel confident that the largest millowners in Blackburn will never consent to take off the 10 per cent. which they have given to their workpeople. (A voice, "they dare not.") The Blackburn masters are men of honour • and though the Preston manu facturers go there to persuade them to combine with them, I feel confident they will never do so whilst the present prospe rity exists. All you who are determined never to resume work until you get the 10 per cent. hold up your hands. The vast assembly unanimously responded. Mr. BnowN said he had been present at a meeting at which one of the Earl of Wilton's agents attended. That gentleman stated, that the Earl having heard of the resolve of the factory operatives to erect mills, he had promised to let them have three acres of land for a nominal consideration - - j“.a—auu w ieuu teem £2,000 on approved security. (Cheers.) Mr. GRIMSHAW gave an account or large meetin g s he had attended during the w ee k a t H eywoo d , Todmorden, Padi ham, and Burnley, at all of which places, he said, the people were as zealous as ever on behalf of the operatives of Preston. The meeting then dispersed.; MR. GOUGH' S TEMPERANCE LECTURES. On Saturday Mr. GOUGH attended at the Concert-hall, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of addressing a meeting of ladies upon the temperance movement. The galleries were well filled with ladies, but the body of the hall was almost entirely empty. The chair was taken by Mr. HAR.RISON, who briefly in troduced the lecture to the meeting. Mr. GOUGH then delivered ''in eloquent address to the meeting upon the important assistance which the women of Liverpool had it in their power to render the temperance enterprise, as well by discouraging the s oc i a l h a bit o f using intoxicating liquors, as by forming an organisation of their own" practically to aid the movement. He dwelt upon the influence possessed by mothers in forming the habits of children, an influence which be showed was seldom wholly inefficacious in after years, even amongst a 'parently hardened criminals.' He also pointed out the influence of young wo men over young men in discouraging the drinking customs of society, and reminthd the meeting that it was impossible any custom could long remain fashionable or prevalent which the female portion of the world resolutely' opposed. Having expatiated upon these questions withimuch eloquence, and illustrated them by a variety of instances the lecturer expressed a hope that some steps would at once be taken to form a society of ladies to aid the temperance movement in Liverpool, and concluded amid loud applause, The Rev. FRANCIS BISHOP proposed a resolution to the effect that an association of ladies be formed, in correspon dence with the Ladies' Temperance Association of London, for the purpose of bringing their influence to bear upon the drinking customs of society in such manner as might seem most desirable. Mr. JOSEPH CROSSPIELD seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted, the ladies present holding up their hands. Thanks were then passed to the chairman, and the meet ing separated, a, number of ladies remaining to take the necessary preliminary steps for the organisation of the pro posed society. DEATH BY THE BURSTING OF A BLOOD-VESSEL.—On Saturday, shortly after eleven o'clock, a.m., a joiner, named Henry Bolton, employed in the ship-yard of Mr. J. Major, when in the act of assisting to carry a plank in a yard, ruptured a blood-vessel. He was immediately carried to the Northern-hospital, but died before he had reached the institution.

Some sales have also been made in SALTPETRE. With these exceptions little has been done. CorroN—This has been a quiet day in the cotton market, the sales not exceeding 5,000 bales, of which about 1,000 have been taken for speculation and export. There was no change in prices. A child was burned to death in Belfast, on Thursday last, having been left in a room without any guardian. On Friday another collision occurred on the Great North ern Railway, at Crosby, near Carlisle. Damage was done to the carriages, but no life lost. . _ THE EMIGRATION RAGE.-A young girl named Bridget Conry was brought up at the Dublin police-office for having stolen 81. from her uncle, in Roscommon. When taken, she was en route to America. A few days since, Thomas Wilson, a seaman on board the Prince of Wales, at Belfast, had his foot injured by the machinery, and it has in consequence been amputated in port. GLASGOW AND BRISTOL.—Steam communication is about to be established between Clyde and Bristol. Two screw steamers, the Brigand and Corsair, will be placed on the station early in January. AN INCORRIGIBLE.— A shoemaker, named Hugh Grant, who has been fifteen times previously convicted of assaults, was again convicted on Friday, at the Eastern police-court, Glasgow. THE " GLASGOW." —The accident to this steamer, which occurred on Thursday evening last, as she left for New York, at the tail of the Bank, Clyde, will not lead to serious de tention. A seaman, named Sloane, was dro.vned. SCARCITY OF SEAMEN.—A letter from Qaebec to Glasgow, dated Nov. 23d, says :—" There are now in this port, ready to sail, at least 45 vessels, 40 of which are not yet loaded. Sailors' wages are £22 10s., cash d ,, wn in silver, the moment the vessel's anchor is weighed." SUSPICIOUS CASE.— On Saturday the body of a man with part of his clothes and his hat on, was found buried within a few inches of the surface of Saintfield church yard, near Belfast. The inhabitants speak of a rich horse-dealer who disappeared suddenly about 14 years ago, and was supposed to have been murdered. LAUNCH AT GREENOCIL—At twelve o'clock on Thursday, a remarkably fine iron two-masted screw steamer was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Scott and Com pany, Cartsdyke. She was named the Amalfi, and is the property of the Steam Navigation Company of the Two Sicilies. The Amalfi is 620 tons, and will be driven by two engines of 120 horse power : and she is intended to ply between Naples and other Mediterranean ports.—North British Mail. Lloyd's agents have received information that a vessel is on shore on Hartley Baits. The crew is saved. The bottom of a vessel has come ashore among the rocks near South Shields this morning, but there is every reason to believe it belonged to a clipper vessel named the Admiral, which got A ashore near Marsden about a week ago, and which must have been dislodged from the sand and driven north by the gale of last night. b — r i O d g n e , S a a t l u o r n d g a yi:i twith Patrick a c companion i lli p a 'C n i u o e n , a laborer from Glasgow, went into the house o f J ames Gardne r,:pl m spirit-dealer, cE cNoat. to get some drink.

He was removed on Sabbath to the hospital belonging to the New Monkland poorhouse, where he lies in a hopeless state.—N. B. Mail. AWKWARD BLUNDER.—The parties interested in two events, of which it was of importance to give notice to the public as about to take place—one a sermon, and the other the sale of a soda water machine—had placards duly pre pared last Saturday in Greenock, and entrusted to the same hero of the paste brush for distribution, part of whose duty it was to enclose one of the sermon bills to the ministers in town, to be announced at the close of the afternoon service. The bills being alike in size, he did not distinguish with suf ficient cuteness between them, and a sale bill was handed up and duly opened by one of the ministers just before the bene diction, but he wisely glanced his eye over it before begin ning to read, and so avoided the awkwardness which must have followed.—North British Mail. SINGULAR AND SUDDEN DEATH OF A FARM LABORER.— On Thursday evening, Mr. Rutter, one of the coroners for the county, held an inquest, at Boothstown, near Worsley, on view of the body of John Hall, a farm labourer, 30 years of age, residing at Redford, whose death took pace under the circumstances narrated below :—At two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the deceased ascended a hay stack, in a field at Boothstown, for the purpose of cutting some hay, taking with him his cutting knife. On reaching the top, he found that the hay was loose, and on trying to get up his knife fell to the ground. ' Unfortunately, the knife fell with the blade upwards, and immediately afterwards the deceased also fell upon the knife, by which one of his thighs was nearly severed. Blood flowed from the wound most pro fusely, and the poor man died in a few minutes afterwards. Verdict—Accidental death. The deceased has left a widow and one child. THE EASTERLY GALE.—TYNESIOUTH, FRIDAY, NOON: A fearful gale of wind from the east broke over the coast of Northumberland yesterday afternoon, and the sea rose with tremendous violence. The storm has raged all night. For tunately there were but few vessels on the coast, the prin cipal portion of the colliers that left here a week ago having found a shelter either in Leith roads or the Humber two or three days before. A little brig named the Sylph, in taking Tynemouth bar, was overwhelmed in a tremendous sea, and for a short time it was thought she was gone, with her crew, to the bottom ; but shortly she reappeared, though evi dently in a disabled condition—she unshipped her rudder and nearly filled her with water. The South Shields lifeboat immediately put out to her assistance, and got to her just as she was approaching the dangerous reef named the " Black Middens,' the crew being in a helpless condition in the fore rigging, and in danger every moment of going down with the sinking ship. The South Shields pilots in the lifeboat, fortunately, grappled the forepart of the vessel, and her crew ware enabled to drop from the bowsprit of the vessel into the lifeboat, and were saved. The vessel drove in among the reeks near the " Old Priory" shortly afterwards, and this morning hardly a vestige of her remains. MARRIAGE OF A YOUNG WOMAN TO HER SISTER.-11l the small village of J—h, on the borders of this county, there lives a young man, Mr. S—, who has, for the last four or five years, been courting a young woman, Miss F—, who teaches a school fur Miss C-- in that neigh bourhood. The two young people had agreed to get mar ried, but the young woman's father and the groom expec tant differed as to the amount of dowry she was to receive, and the match was broken off. Previous to this, however, an improper intimacy had been carried on between the parties, from which Miss F— proved enciente, and was, a few days since, delievered of a child, and from shame, or fear of being expelled the school, she and her friends set their wits to work, and with what effect you may imagine, when I tell you that, a few weeks previous to her confine ment, an elder sister, disguised as a young man. and having flannel round her jaws, with the heroine of the tale, started off to the Registrar's office where the elder sister personi fied the absent lover—and the indissoluble knot was tied Subsequently, W. S having heard it rumored through the country, that at such a time and place he had been united in the bonds of matrimony, with the object of his early affec tion, proceeded to make inquiry at the ttegistrar's office, and found that a couple of the same name had been married at the time stated.. Upo . further interrogating the Registrar, he was informed that the young man had flannel round his jaws, and that upon the Registrar having asked the groom why he had so lung delayed getting married, he stated that it was on account of his having had a sore throat. Miss F , however, has since confessed the deception played off upon the Registrar; and Mr. S having been ad vised to get married to Miss F in reality, replied with a heartlessness that must be reprehended, that she, having been irrevocably united already, he thought the sister had the best right to her, and that he did not wish to commit bigamy. The matter has caused considerable amusement with gossips in the neighborhood, and is likely to afford em plByment to the gentry of the long robe. as Miss F intends bringing an action of damages for seduction.—Nor thern Whim.
