On the whole, the market is iii n very healthy state, and an increased desire is shown on the part of the public to invest in (Pond dividend Mines. The movements of the preeious metals during the past week have not been quite so extensive as of late. The imports have amounted to £244,827, comprising £20,490 from the United States, by the Asia, and £76,488, by the Saxonia £120,000, from the West Indies, by the Atrato ; £620 from Alexandria, by the Ripon; £5,575 from Lisbon, by the Topaz ; £9,304 from Africa, ,by the Ethiope; and £12,400 by the Warrior. The exports have also been limited, viz., £44,225, The London Produce Markets this week have been dull, and, excepting for tea and some other descriptions of China produce, lower rates have been established. Since the receipt of the late news from China, some speculation has taken place, and the trade, many of whom were not well supplied, have also operated, causing a rise of 1 id. to 2d. per lb. in the common and medium kinds of Congou. Very large qnantities of Ceylon and East India Coffee have been offered at auction, which the importers have shown a disposition to realise, accepting prices ls. to 2s. below those previously current. An extensive business has been done in sugar afloat, thirteen cargoes having changed hands, but at lower rates; the public sales - have gone off without animation, and quota tions generally show a fall of about 6d. per cwt. An improved demand has existed for saltpetre, which shows a rise of ls. to ls. 6d. per cwt. Rice is without change. Sales of cassia lignea have n made at 3s - . to 55., and of ginger at 3s, vt. advance ;srs. Woolloton - and Son, of LondOn the early part of , the summer a few parishes in x, the Weald of Kent, Farnham, and Worcester, severely attacked with vermin, much, speculation place, and there was a rapid advance in the value all prospects of a blight, the re-action in the market was severe, sales were almost impossible, and we have now to report that a duty of £280,000 is expected to be realised. From the simples at present on offer, we anti cipate that the growth of 1859 will be not less remark able for choiceness of quality than for being the fifth crop au ou,...coolvai 6acuua vc y vuu idIG UV Midge ILL quantity. As prices cannot fair to be very reasonable, a great de mand is to be expected. The best districts of Middle and East Kent have been entirely exempt froth vermin, and from them is grown an immense crop-of the highest quality. This result, coupled with the fact that the best hop growing districts in Bavaria have this season a crop largely in excess of their necessities for home consump tion, ought to operate against "exorbitant prices being given on this market for Golding hops. It will be re membered that last year the continent of Europe was convened to import from England a very large quantity of hops, and thereby contributed to the rise which took place in our market. No similar demand can be expected this year. The consumption for home and export trade continues to increase ; but, notwith standing occasional failures from blight, so does the growth of hops increase. From the year 1792 to the present time, the gross produce of each period of ten years has gradually increased, so that the last eight years from 1852 to 1859 inclusive have given a total duty of £1,852,000, or an annual average of £234,000 ; being an increase of more than forty per cent, over the Average et the preceding ten and twenty years. During the same period, the increase of acres under cultivation has been only nine per cent., according to the parlia mentary return. These facts suggest the consideration as to how - far modern improvements in cultivation operate on• the production of such immense crops as the past five years have witnessed. Of course, failures in the crop must and will recur at some period; and, with the greatly increased consumption, a growth falling short of the necessities of the trade would greatly enhance prices, and a saleable value might be put on those parcels of old hops remaining in the hands of speculators, for which, at the present time, it is difficult to name any quotations, LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE Consols closed a shade weaker, 95 sellers.

Wrrii respect to the future operations in China, it is understood that her Majesty's Government force from India, to co-operate with the vast ani menta,tion of both naval and military armaments which the French Government is about to send The excitement occasioned by the Chinese dis aster has had the effect of creating an extensive business in the tea trade ; but there has been no' farther advance of any consequence in the prices. The copy of the addiess to the Emperor of the French, from the province of Bergamo, bearing nearly eleven hundred ,signatures, will be found in another column. The fact of such -an address having been presented, was mentioned in our im pression of Saturday. Its object is'to convey the thanks of those who signed the address to the Em peror, along with their regret at the failure of the projected deliverance of Venetia. We announce with deep regret, in another part of this sheet, the death of Mr. Brunel, the dis tinguished civil engineer, and 'whose name has been so intimately connected with the - experiment of the Great Eastern steam-ship. His death, in fact, is attributed to. the mental over-anxiety occasioned by that experiment, he having been carried from the ship to his residence in a very dangerous condition, from which he never rallied. He may be said, therefore, to have died at his post,—and in the very prime of life. We give elsewhere a brief account of the far ther- proceedings of the British Association at Aberdeen. The meeting, it is evident has this year been, more than ordinarily, a great success. Never, it is acknowledged, did the " Granite City" witness such a gathering as that' which graced the opening,—owing, of course, mainly, if not wholly, to the presence of the Prince Con sort'. - But in other respects, the meeting has been one of the most successful yet held under the auspices of the Association. By the arrival of :the British - and North Ame rican royal. mail steam-ship America, Captain Miller, which arrived yesterday morning from Boston, we have journals from the United States to the 6th, and intelligence by telegragh, via Hali fax, to the Bth instant. Besides 58 passengers, the American brought 550,000 in specie on freight. The intelligence by this arrival, though interest ing, does not contain any feature of marked im ,. portance. In another column we give the highly inte- on the occasion of delivering the awards allotted for middle-class examinations by the University of Oxford. In that address will be found a large degree of practical knowledge of the world, and of the Briti-' -le, t - the peop„ °rough, )ear on question of education, as that affects the religious ; the moral, the social, and the political position of the middle and lower classes of our fellow-coun trymen. The address referred to is well worthy of, the most careful attention and study, less on account of the novelty of the views it promulgates than for - the valuable practical hints which it supplies. The intelligence received from the Continent continues to be inconclusive and undecided. Lord Cowley, the British Ambassador to the French Court, was, at the date of the latest ac counts, about to leave Paris for Biarritz. A great fire, the largest which has occurred within the city of London for many years, broke out on Saturday morning, in Ivy-lane, Paternoster-row. The fire was ultimately ex tinguished, but not before property to the value of many thousand pounds had been destroyed. The inquest on the bodies of the . sufferers by the explosion on board the Great Eastern was resumed at Weymouth on Saturday, and again adjourned. The effect of the evidence given on that day was to remove the onus of the responsi bility. from Mr. M'Lennan and Mr. Dickson, who was in command of the vessel during her till). WE had occasion the other day, on reviewing the incidents of a parliamentary campaign just closed, to remark that Churchmen did not know their own strength. Af•this early period, before the next parliamentary campaign opens, we think it expedient to repeat the remark, and to press upon Churchmen the warning it implies. The lesson is no hard one. The evil to be remedied is only in the imagination, and the manner of, correcting it is simply by forming a juster conception of our position and our resources. We are strong enough; what we require is to know our strength. We have plenty of truth and reason on our side ; what we want is boldness enough to realise this conviction, and to act upon it. What, in the first instance, is necessary, is to become alive to the fact that our position has, in the last half century, undergone a material change, and .with the change become more capable of de fence. Neither the scorn of the world nor the zeal of irregular religionists can now reproach the Church of England with insensibility to her mission, or any marked degree of laxity in per- forming her proper work. This was in days gone by the great secret of sectarian strength. It was this that gave a colouring to many changes, and an excuse for much opposition. Men tried to think, or to make others think, that in reviling the Church of England they were pleading for earnestness in tone and spirit, and were more than justified in disregarding the variety or the eccentricity of the forms which that earnestness assumed. But the venue has now changed. Not " judgment," but revival, has "begun at the House of God." It is from the Church that zeal has spread itself to all other religious bodies; and even other lands, and very dissimilar forms of Chris have &aught from her the sacred fire The pas: iou assumed by ether bodies has, therefore, ma- terially altered its aspect; and we are compelled to say that much of the zeal of religious comp tition has turned into enmity and factio tactics she has now to meet are those of dire-et opposition, and •,they are wie all the artifice of secular politics The object now is to destroY the inalienable firivileges, and whatever. is involved in -Vie exclusiveness of the Church of England. Her ancient charters are to ad th precedents of ages to be , yed by successive blows.. But, now that her mere tarty y accidents arc assailed with a :er because more ez men to be less confident in resistance because sh, Has she less right to her revenues because she is have its full and unfettered course, vet the Church of England is every day vindicating more and more that best of all rights to her descended privileges, the zealous discharge of the dutic which they imply and enable her to fulfil, Churchmen are apt to feel themselves abashed Ind. somewhat arrogant reproach( :eek to gain character for their opposition. But though the ights of property" may be plausibly infringed, when its duties are pretended to be neglected, yet at least when no such allegation as this can be adv'anced, such infringement must be robbery and spol There are two ways, thereforE n which th battle of the , Church, both in its spiritual character and its mere secular ace must I fought. It Must above all be zealously and unceasingly alive to the duties it owes to the nation; this is its internal work. And more than this, it must directly and unflinchingly defend its secular position, nor yield one inch to the politi cal onslaught of a simulated religionism. Let us illustrate the dependency of these two modes of security and defence by the question of Church- rates. Here one thing is plain. If a parish church originally built for the poor, and made over a free gift to a district, is filled with appropriated pews, is in fact sold to the rich, and removed above the reach of the poor, Church-rates become an. exaction and a scandal. Let the Church be given back to the poor, and relieved from the worst abuses of the Pew-: ;ystem, and honest men -SETTEKETAR 17 0 7 I Fowls, F (emu) De 3 6 -0 6 0. 7 - I Rabbits, zip c'ple .1 6 .0 6„ 0 74 Pigeons, ~ „ Lamb, fore qr hind lir Fiesh Pork Lobsters .

The sorts most in request at all the works are sheets and boiler plates. Small orders continue to arrive in the distiict for angle bars, best:bars and hoops, for the East Indian and Ali's traliau markets. Inquiries have iiitewise been on foot dur- for: Russia, under the new tariff regulations: 'This tariff will, no doubt, stimulate the demand for. Staffordshire Iron, which will be required in large quantities for the new works recently established in the neighbourhood of St. Petersburg. Some of the leading manufacturers 'viewed with a little anxiety the calamitous defeat of the British and French expedition in the Peiho, and thought this might interfere with - the market for Staffordshire Iron. It is quite true that large quantities pf Nail Rods, of superior make, are slit in this district for the China market; but as these rods are exported to Shan ghai and Canton—ports which still remciin open, the authorities of the former being on the best terms with us, and the latter entirely under our control, we think there is little probability of any interruption to the usual course of the trade of this district with China by the Peiho difficulty, which, after all, may have occurred without the sanction of the authorities at Pekin. On the whole the demand for Staffordshire iron must be considered quieter, and the second-rate houses are more willing to take specific: Lions than they were a, week since. Very little business has been done in Native Pigs during the past week ;- this being usually a flat season of the quarter for pigs, owing to the near approach of the preliminary meeting of the Iron Trade, which is fixed for Thursday the '29th inst., when the prices will be adjusted for next quarter. We believe there will be I no change of price whatever decided 'upon at this meeting, either in Pigs or Malleable Iron. The official list of prices of Finished Iron is as. fol lows :—Common Staffordshire Bars, £7 10s. at the works; best bars, £810s.; sheets, £9; doubles, £lO 10s. ; nail sheets, £8 10s. ; Lattin, £l2 ; boiler plates, £9 ; best and best best in proportion ; common rods, £7los. ; hoops,' £8 10s. ; Canada Plates, £l2, and all other sorts in proportion.

The finest light Barley maintains its value, but heavy was again lower, the supply exceeding its demand. Oats and Beans un changed, with a retail demand. • DONCASTER CATTLE MARKET.—SEPTEMBER 17. The market was well supplied with all kinds of stock, but only a slowish sale, at about the late currencies. Mulch Cows, £l4 to £lB 10s.; Heifers, £5 to £ll ; Steers, £6 to £l2. At this day's market, which was well attended with buyers, yet, on the whole, trade was very inactive. Pigs only a middling supply, and a slowish demand, at about previous 'quotations. CARLISLE CORN MARKET -SEPTEMBER 17 We had a good supply of all kinds of grain' at our market this morning. Wheat is fully as dear, with a good demand. Oats in good demand, at last week's rates.

News City Article) FRIDAY EVENlNG.—Although business exhibited no revival, increased firmness prevailed to-day in the Stock Exchange. The improvement in the Funds scarcely exceeded one-sixteenth per cent ; but in some of the other departments of the Stock Exchange, especially in the market for British railway stocks, the preponderance of buyers was more observable. Demand for money brisker, and the lowest rite for bills of the first Blass. No gold sent into the Bank to-day. The Bank return shows an increase of coin and bullion, during the w eek ending Wednesday, of £484,400. Another fa vourable feature is an increase of nearly three-fourths of a million in the reserve. (From the Times City Article.) FRIDAY EVENING. —English Funds rather dull at the opening this morning, but have closed with reneired firmness. The recovery was attributed to the circum stance of the speculative sellers, on the China news, showing a disposition to buy back. There has been an increased demand for money to-day ; and at the Bank the applications for discount were on a larger scale. The Railway markets show little change during the greater part of the day ; but towards the close, especially after official hours, a nearly general advance took place of i to Q per cent THE TEA TRADE An extensive business has been transacted in tea since the confirmation of the disastrous news from China. will not begrudge her the possession of thc which in any case does certa )elong to her if the right of inherited property has any sure or equitable foundation in this country It is only with full hearts that Churchmen can lay c these pecuniary privilege when ti point to the Church in her original charac- ter, as an unreserved gift to CARIST'S Now, in the dying out of con troversial zeal, and such awakening to the ssion of the, Cht .s :this Church of England ; we discern the only Tot' that we - expect to propitiate th opposition of political sectarianism The House situations, it has come to pass that after 1 ) 115 hours, and on Sundays, such towns are veil ill op andabandoned to the smaller shopkeepers, Pu blic , police.

La By J. T. Danson, thoseith S toaftitsbteical I.lwootwes,o gles, demanding much energy, and perhaps in- volving temporary reverses The recent Church- rate opposition• is a forcible' commentary on the spirit which assails us. If the motive of this op- position be a conscientious objection of Dissenters to pay them, what fairer concession could be devised than such an arrangement as will free Dissenters from an odious tax ? Now such an exception has been proposed, and rejected: Our opponents demand, not only that they shall not he compelled to pay them, but that Churchmen shall not be allowed to do so ! With the significant warn- ing which this apparent inconsistency conveys, we scarcely needed the too hasty candour with which our noisiest opponents have revealed their true designs. They are, in truth, very consistent ; but, we are obliged to say, only so by being scarcely We can read for ourselves, without the necessity for their own humiliating and too.ready honest. confession,—that the one object of that zeal which never tires, of that animosity which never sleeps, of that prophetic hate which can endure delay, contemns reverses, and keeps its eye for ever on the issue, is to deprive the Church of England of " her tithes, glebes, and other endowments, and " of the very fabrics of the churches themselves, " on the plea that they are national property !" Churchmen, at least, cannot complain of not having been sufficiently warned. They know what is in reserie ; why should they falter in meeting the tactics of the enemy ? To hesitate, because they are but outposts which are at present assailed, is just giving an advantage that, once lost, can never be repaired. The enemy are trying their strength, removing small obstruc tions, and securing points of attack. We believe that the outer walls can still be preserved. But one thing is clear,—should these be surrendered, it will be found more difficult and more hopeless to cover the citadel from attack. IT is impossible to look into the condition of the labouring population in this country, and the several grades of poverty below them in the social scale, without being convinced that there is very much to do for the advantage of those classes of our fellow subjects, apart altogether from politics, and of infinitely more importance to themselves and to society at large, than any political reform s can possibly be. It is one of the most mischievous delusions of our day, that such a thing as Parlia- mentary Reform, for instance, is to be a panacea for the evils that abound among the lower orders, or indeed among any other of the orders that obtain in the body politic. When we say lower orders, we do not by any means intend to use the SEPTEMBER 19, 1859 term in an offensive sense, but only to indicate' those to whom we refer, as occupying lower positions in the social scale. It does not folloW n. it oug'it not—that they are less respectable on that account. For true it is; that Honour and shame from no condition rig There may be as much virtue in the lowest as' in the highest ranks of - life;—nay, there arc often instances of there being more virtue among r the humbler classes, than i s t o be ~ou among - many of those above them.
