After the Canada's news, the principal sales were effected, and were for our own spinners, but although an advance was asked, none was paid. On Monday, afler the Baltic's news, holders were anxious to sell, but could not 'find purchasers. Yesterday, however, submitting to a decline . of Zc per lb, induced some buying for export, and the sales were about 3,000 bales, the market closing rather depressed at the submitted quotations. The sales for the week I estimate at 8,000 bales, the export during the same time has been—to Liverpool, 2,441;. Bremen, 300; Havre, 267. Total, 3,008 bales. COTTON IN TRANSITU : There is now a fair supply on the market, but as holders cannot sell without loss, most of it will go'forwsri on owners account. There has not been enough done to establish quotations. SOUTHERN MARKETS There is no important change to note in any ; prices have slightly advanced, and the buying is to a fair extent, and but little of it is for Great Britain. NEW ORLEANS, Nov.

CROP, RECEIPTS, T XPORTS, &e. : I have received the data upon which to form my opinion on the subject of crop, and arrive at the conclusion that the total for the present season will not reach 3,000,000 of bales. The receipts at New Or leans continues heavy, and chit fly from the main river, where more than usual facilities in the number of boats are offered by the low state of the upper rivers. In Mobile, the receipts are mostly by railroad ; by telegraph, we learn o f a probable rise in the rivers tributary to this p'ace. In the Atlantic states the receipts are also fair ; as I have remarked, the inducements for planters to hurry their crop to market, are so strong this sea son, that the entire crop will be precipitated into the ports earlier perhaps than in any former year. The exports to Great Britain continue on a very moderate scale, being but 64,000 bales, since the let Sept. last, against 192,000 to same date last year, nor is this soon to be increased, as very little has been done, even to the latest dates from the South for Liver pool. For France, the exports are in excess of last year, while to the other foreign ports, a fair business has been done, and is still doing in Southern market*. Our Northern spinners have taken a fair supply, and ate yet buying.

This was followed by a more considerable reduc tion, so that up to Thursday evening the fall in prices was not less than 15c to 25c per brl ; as compared with our last quotations. Since then, however, the recovery has been equally decided, and at the close this day, prices with a strong market are quite as high as on the morning of. this day week.

EARLE ClrAaol AGAINST A SAlL9R.—Caplaill Charles M'Don. nell, commander of the James Baines, charged a sailor named Charles Smith, belonging to that vessel, under the following circumstances :—Mr. 131uck defended the prisoner. The complainant said he charged the prisoner with three offences—stealing a boat, desertion of the ship, and refusing to do duty. In support of the two qrst charges, the carain said the prisoner had signed articles in Liverpool to go round with the ship. At Melbourne he took the boat and escaped with it, and he was subse quently arrested, and sentenced to thirty days' imprison ment by the magistrates there. Mr. Bluck : Then he has been punished for desertion, so the charge of felony falls to the ground. Mr. Wybergh : The charge of felony cannot he sustained ; and as for the desertion, he has been punished already for it. The captain said the man refused to do his duty. Mr. Wybergh : Was that since he was discharged from the prison at Melbourne ? yes, sir. In reply to Mr. Bluck, the captain said the full term of imprisonment at Melbourne had not expired when he took the prisoner out of jail, as the ship was going to sea. He did not know if there was any wages legally due to the prisoner or not. Mr. Muck contended that the man must be discharged, as he had already been punished for any offence he had committed. Mr. Wybergh said the captain must show something done by the prisoner after he left Melbourne with the ship, in order to bring him within the operation of the act. The captain said he wished for a remand until Monday, when he would be prepared with evidence to sustain the case. Mr. Bluck : You had him four and a half days in irons, I believe ? Yes, I had. Mr. Earle : I shall remand the case to Monday. The prisoner was remanded accord- PLUNDER AT THE Doexs.—Edward Riley, Michael Gallagher, and Thomas Garner, three dock labourers, were charged with stealing a quantity of copper from the Sandon Dock. It appeared that the prisoners were engaged in carting away ballast from a vessel in the dock, and, wh en l eav i ng the gates, t h e po li ce officer beard some unusual noise in the carts, and, on searching, be found a considerable quantity of copper that bad been taken off a ship, concealed in the carts. The prisoners said they were employed by another person to cart away the ballast, and knew nothing of the copper. They were remanded. The Queen has appointed Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, RE , - corder of Bristol, in the room of Sir A. J. Cockburn, appointed Cuief Justice of the Common Pleas. - - CORONER'S INQUESTS.—On Friday the borough Coroner beid the following inquests : On tha body of Thomas McKeon, aged 23 years, who died from excessive drinking, There were several puncheons of whiskey on one of the dock. quays, and the bungs being out, the deceased drank to a fearful state of excess, from the effects of which he died. Verdict accordingly.—On the body of Samuel Ester, aged 47, who was engaged as boatswain on board the Khersonese steamer. He went from his lodging on Thursday, and returned in a state of intoxication, and died whilst in that condition. Verdict : Died of excessive drinking.—On the body of John Jenkins, a lad who fell on hic face into a help of sand, 'at Alderman Bennett's foundry, Sir' Thomas's Buildings, and was suffocated. verdict same.L.On the body of Catherine Edwards, who died in the Southern Hospital, and, on examination, it was ascertained that she died of natural causes. Verdict accordingly, THE MAYOR AT THE SATURDAY EVENING CONCERT. According to annual custom his worship the Mayor, Francis Shand, Esq., presided at the Concert-hall, on Satur day night. There was a very numerous audience, the house being crowded to the extreme limits of its capacity. The concert was one of more than usual attractions, having among its vocal performers, Miss Ransford, Mrs. Scarisbrick, and Mr. Delavanti. In addition to those vocalists we must not omit to mention Mr. Dalziel, a gentleman well known as an a mateur, but who, on this occasion, made what was understood to be his first public appearance, and who, unquestionably, succeeded in creating a sensation. We need not criticise the singing of the perfomers we have mentioned, who are principally of metropolitan ' distinction, and bad on this occasion a well-chosen and varied programme, in which to display their characteristic qualities. Indeed, the gratifiCation of the audience demonstrated itself to somewhat an incon- venient degree, as almost every, song was encored, and some were even called for and given a third time, thus protracting the performances beyond their ordinary length. The singers, however, displayed the utmost kindness in yielding in every instance to the desires of the audience. Among the gentlemen on the platform, besides the M iyor, were Messrs. N. Caine, President of the Institution, William Rathbone, Fleming, Clint, Alderman Bold, Livingstone, Alexander Shand, Kitchen, Crosthwaite, James Thompson, and sevsral others. In the interval between the first and second part of the concert, Mr. Caine came forward, and was received with loud applause. He said Mr. Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen, — I rise, as president of this institution, to •congratulate once more the ft equente , s of the Saturday Evening Concerts on the presence of their Chief Magistrate. (Cheers.) This is the twelfth time the Mayor of Liverpool has thus expressed i pis sympathy with the rational recreations of the people. All honour to him for the encouragement afforded—and all honour to you, air, for the compliment received this evening. (Cheers ) For twelve years these concerts have been carried on within this hall, and it is sixteen years since they were first established in the North Corporation Schoolrooms in Bevington Bush. Feeble, very feeble indeed, were our early efforts ; but, although feeble the efforts, although small the beginning, the institution has now become a " great fact"—(hear, hear) — spreading and developing itself in various forms, not only in Liverpool and the vicinity, but the principle has been adopted in Manchester, Birmingham, London, and other largo towns and cities throughout the kingdom. Our object has not been to provide a mere amusement ; hut we have endeavoured, by enabling them to enjoy the highest talent, to create and cultivate a taste for refined rational recreation among the people. In that object, I believe, it will be admitted that we have largely succeeded. (Hear, hear.) But we have had gr a' difficulies to contend with. We have had to struggle against prejudice, misconstruction, and misrepresentation. Our first and greatest difficulty was with the professionals. We could not persuade them that we were respectable. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) What—sing for threepence! Such a thing was never heard of. (Laughter.) It was infra dig, and could not be entertained. I recollect, one morning, being waited upon by the father of a young lady who had been engaged to sing for us. He was in great distress of mind, saying that his daughter had been crying all night. She did not know what to do, for she had been told that, if she did sing for us—if she did descend so low, her professional prospects would be utterly ruined. She must be released from her• ngagement, for she could not, she would not, and she did not, sing for us. (Laughter.) Now, that feeling was very general throughout the profession. We were only enabled to Wain the services of the higher class, when Miss Whitnall broke through the prejudice, and set the example with a dignity which well became her, by taking. her place upon our plat form. (rear, hear, and cheers.) Now, it ought to be borne in mind, by all who take an interest in this institution, by all who have derived benefit from it, that we are indebted for the first step in its successful progress, to.the present Mrs. Scaris brick. (Cheers.) Well, but we have had difficulties to con tend with in other quarters—and in other quarters great changes of opinion have taken place. (Hear, hear ) Clergymen there were who doubted our movement, who declared against it, and denounced it as an evil, saying that a Saturday night concert was a most unfit preparation for the approaching Sabbath. But if we look around us now, what do we find ? Clergymen advocating our principles in the public press—presiding over such meetings. in immediate association with their respective churches. Arguing, and publicly declaring—as Mr. Rathbone has, time after time, main tained—(cheers)—what the Saturday night concert is, of all others, the thing well calculated to induce the attendance of the workman at church on Sunday. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now we, have outlived all these prejudices, and we stand pretty firmly established in the public favour. I need not give any detail of the positio t and nroapec's of the institu tion, but I may tell you, and I tell it for your satisfaction, not boastingly, mind you—hut for your satisfaction, merely—that we ate " out of debt, and not of danger." ([oar hear, and cheers.) Mr. George Holt, Mr. William Lane, Mr. John Wyberg, and Mr. Lawrence Heyworth, M.l'., are the trustees, and there stands in the names of these gentlemen, at the Royal Bank, a credit in favour of this institution of upwards of £l,OOO. (Cheers,) That is one result—the sterling re sult of our operations. But another, a higher, and far more important result, is, that there has been provided for the people a cheap, elevating enjoyment; an antidote for the social poisons which are so freely and invitingly offered ; so temptingly spread for them on every hand. Here the tempted and the tried find a refuge ; the irresolute and weak, a safe guard; the enslaved and ensnared, a shelter. (Hear, hear, and great applause) Many a wife, and many a mother blesses this institution for evils presented ; and through the instrumentality of the Saturday evening concerts, many a man has been made " a better mechanic, and many a mechanic a better man," (Hear, hear, and loud cheers), It only re mains for me, sir, to tender to you the warm thanks of this meeting for the honor you have done us in taking the chair this evening. Three cheers for the mayor followed this address. The Mayor then rose, and was received with renewed ap plause. He said—Ladies and gentlemen, my friends and fellow-townsmen, I begin by making almost a complaint, and that is, that while the sounds pf such sweet music are ringing in your ears, you should be brought down to su,h plain prose as mine. (Laughter.) However, gentlemen, I shall, to the best of my power, endeavour to express my thanks for the honor you have done m-. This is what I may terra my OrSt appearance in public since I had the honor of being placed in the high position to which the favour of my fellow-townsmen has been pleased to raise me. I think I could not devote the occasion of my first appearance more appropriately—certainly not more congenially to my own feelings—than if I can in any way promote the comfort and happiness of the mechanics of Liverpool. (Cheers.) On looking round me I scarcely know how to imagine that I am addressing the me• chanics of Liverpool, because the appearance of those I see, is not that of mechanics, but of a much higher class, and, therefore, I may say that if such an effect is _ the process of the Saturday evening concerts, it is a process almost amounting to enchantment. (Hear, hear.) • Well, gentlemen, I feel that if you bring such an appearance to this place, you will carry to your homes happiness and comfort--,. vou will see bright firesides, clean households, and happy homes. (Chee r s ) you will sleep the sleep of enjoyment and peace. You will rise on the Sunday morning with clear heads, prepared to look on yourselves as something more than mere meehanies—you will feel that you have within you a better part, to the advancement of which you can devote the day. And then I feel that, when you rise on the Monday morning, you will feel that you have not only done a great duty, but that you have exercised a great privilege—a privilege which sends you forth to your labour on the Monday morning with greater enjvment, with full vigour, and preparation to renew, at tho close of the week, the happiness which, I hope, you have all been enjoying this evening. (Cheers.) Lt ancient days, we hear that tho power of music was so great, that one who exercised it, and who loved his wife, went down, when he had lost her, to the regions below, and by the power of his music brought her back to earth again. And we know, also, that one of our great poets says the power of Saint Cecilia was such, that, by her vocal influence, " she brought an angel down." Now, ladies and gentlemen, I feel that the Saturday night concerts seem to embrace both these powers, because, while they draw upwards from the sinking of iniquity, and the polluting places of dissipation, so many, they create here refinements and blessings ; and, therefore, we might apply to the influence of this one institution that double power of which the poet speaks, when he says that— " She raised a mortal to the skies, She drew an angel down." (Cheers.) I think this is evidenced by the appearances which I see around me this night. (Hear, hear.) I only trust that your example and your influence may be extended, and I can assure you that I feel it is a fact accomplished that the Satur day evening concerts are productive of the greatest possible advantage and happiness to the town at large, I thank you, most sincerely, for the reception you have given me, and I wish you to believe that there is nothing closer to my heart than to promote the happiness of the working classes, and of all classes of the inhabitants of Liverpool. (Hear hear.) Mr. Ratlibone was then loudly called for, and, in obedience to the de,ire of the meeting, came forward. He said Mr. Mayor and fellow townsmen—for I only look upon you as such here, and I know nothing of ono class or another---I joy to be again among my fellow-townsmen in a state of perfect equality. (Cheers,) lam not, however, Mr. Mayor, going to be very democratic i n m y speech, I assure you. (Laughter.) I have to complain very much of my friend the president, who repeats my sayings, and then expects me to make a speech, when ho has taken all the tit-bits out of it. My friends, I always have pleasure in coming here, and from the kindness of your reception, whenever I do so, I always endeavour to do my best, andte Mayor a tn rue i t makenhugz Inaugurates gahrtneec,seaihmuisl and n a feelinge upon e e e t n r d a e n av e onr upon the presetit or9a sion.

Some of the pupils of the Blue Coat schools have, indeed, been the architects of their own fortunes, but they have also lived, loved, and respected, and died regretted, with their loss deeply felt by the merchants of Liverpool. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, we may be sure that, in the Blue Coat Hospital, a good education is given, and we thank the Mayor for going first there to give it the sanction of his presence. (Hear•, hear.) His first appearance in public; then, is among us. I think that, too, a very graceful act, because it is a profession on his part that he is Mayor of the Town of Live' - po l—not of any one class of society; for there are all classes .here. He is not the mayor of a clique, or of a party, or of a section, one way or another, but he is the mayor of the people of Liverpool. • (Cheers) We are much obliged to our present mayor for his declaration to that effect to-night—and lam very sure he is not the man to make a profession to which he will not keep. (Hear, hear.) Now I want to have a fling at my friend, the president. (Laughter.) He richly deserves it. lam going to he very angry with him, and I dare say you will be so, too, my friends. (Laughter). He is not merely the architect of his own fortunes, but he is the architect of our fortunes. At one time this good old ship of ours was rather in shallow water, and among rocks. When he got her first he at his own risk under Arok and guaran teed the expense of getting the good ship into deep water. She is now in deep water, and the heart of oak, I hope, will long remain in deep water and sail, carrying with her many hearts to a haven where I feel you will all go. (Cheers). I believe it to be a fact that these concerts do elevate and exalt, refine and enlarge, the heart of every human being who comes into the p eseuce of the goof mus•c, and the good moral , ., which are heard here. lam quite sure of this, nay, I have it from the highest officer of the land, with whom I once had the good fortune to be in company, the Archbishop of Canterbury, who said he had some little doubt in the first instance, but he could now say that the Saturday night concerti were well calculated to fill the churches and places of worship, and he wished them " God speed " (Cheers). Mr. Rithbone then thanked the meeting for their reception of him, and resumed his seat amid renewed applause. Lend cries were then heard for Mr. Bold. Mr. Bold came forward, and said : Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentleman, I can assuke you that I am perfectly unprepared to make a speech to ❑ight; and, indeed, I do not know that I ever was prepared to make any speech. (Laughter.) Having been called upon, however, by the present assembly, nothing could give me greater pleasure than to express my approval of these concerts, and I believe I have never omitted, during the last twelve years, to attend any concert upon such an occasion as this. It has always given me the greatest possible satisfac tion and gratification to see assemblages here enjoying such an intellectual treat .as is giVen by the music which we have heard ; and it gives me.greater satisfaction still to see the hall se well filled, when I know that this very evening St. George's Hall is open for the admission of 'the public at, believe, the very same prices which all had to pay who entered this room, It is a great satisfaction to see that these concerts, under the management of such worthy men, are so well filled. Ladies and gentlemen, I do not . know that I can say any more than to thank you again for your kindness iu calling upon me. Poli— tics aro not.introduced on such an occasion as this, but I may be allowed to say that it will give me sincere pleasure to meet Mr. Rathbone, or any gentleman, no matter bow nitieh opposed to me in politics, in carrying out any purpose which may bo conceived for the benefit 'of the inhabitants of the town where I was born and bred. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) So long as I have life and health, I will meet any gentleman, and freely shake him by the hand, and go cordially with him, in promoting anything which 'can be conceived, for an instant, to be for the benefit of the inhabitants of this town. (Cheers.) I have nothing to add, except to repeat that it has given me infinite pleasure to 'Meet - you all here. (Cheers.) The vocal and instrumental performances were then resumed. KIRIED ALE SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—On Satur day evening, .1. C. Ewart, Esq., M.P , presided at this concert. On taking the chair, he expressed the great pleasure he felt at seeing so large an attendance of the working classes, and contrasted the effects such meetings would have on society, if carried out. Ile also directed attention to the system pursued in Germany, where he had recently been travelling, and hoped to see the working classes take part in such entertainments, rather than sit ting in the dram-shop. The programme tor the evening was well chosen, and the singers were warmly applauded. It would be an act of injustice, did we not particularly refer to Mrs. Steedman, who was evidently the favourite of the evening. She sang the " Irish Emigrant" with great taste and feeling, and was most heartily encored. We hope that these evening concerts will meet with the support they deserve. At the conclusion a vote of thanks was accorded to the hon. member. ARGYLE Rooms, BIRKENREtD 77 .93 Saturday night a very agreeable miscellaneous concert was given in the Argyle Rooms, Birkenhead, under the direction of Mr. Jukes. The pi.ogramtne . ccimprised selections from some of the best and most popular of our Roglish composers, besides a number of well known native ballads, pleasing alike from their poetry and melody. The vocalists were Mrs. Jukes, Miss Sharp, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Sadler, and Mrs. Mmison, and their perfarmance was mast creditable, the whole being wound up by the happy and appronriate solo and chorus (B Life), "My Task is ended." We are aware that an effort is being made, in Birkenhead, to erect a public build ing, for the use of the inhabitants, like unto the Concert hall, Lord Nelson street, in Liverpool. We wish • the undertaking every success, and trust that before long the rople of Birkenhead will have as many opportunities Of enjoying popular concerts and other amusements of a kin_ dred character as have their neighbours on this side of the river. I X LIIBITION OF THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY AT CHESTER, IN 1858. PUBLIC MEETING AT CHESTER. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER CHESTER, SATURDAY, To-day, at noon, a numerous and highly influential public meetin g of the nobility, lauded proprietors, land agents, and others, interested in the agriculture of Cheshire and North Wales, was held in the Music-hall, Chester, in connection with the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, in 1858, being held at Chester. The immediate object of the meeting will be gathered from the following statement in the announcement convening it :—" The Royal Agricultural Society having resolved on holding the country meeting, for 1858, in the north western district, of which Cheshire and North Wales form a most important part, and as the place of meeting will he decided upon by the council of the society in the ensuing spring, the town council of Chester, believing that no town in the district can afford the acciety such full accommodation, in addition to its being the place most convenient for the majority of the eg. iculturalists in the Principality, have determined upon taking the necessary steps to secure the meeting being . hold in Chester, and of adopting the best course for ac complishing the above object, and of raising the necessary funds" The spacious room was crowded, and amongst those present was an immense number of the nobility and landowners connected with Cheshire, Shropshire, and Staffordshire, and the various counties in the principality of North Wales. The Marquis of 'Westminster, Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, was voted to the chair, on the motion of Peter Eaton, Esq , Mayor of Chester. The Noble Chairman, in opening the proceedings, said, that in the first place it became his duty to state to the committee the reasons why he should have the honour of being in the positio❑ in which he found himself then placed. It was, no doubt, quite right and proper that in a city of such extent and importance as Chester, the gentleman who had the honour of being placed at the head of their municipality, and who wielded the authority with which his fellow citizens had invested him, that he should, on an occasion such as the present, naturally have occupied the chair. But it was feared that had he occupied that post, the meeting might have borne something of the character of an exclusively Chester assembly ; whereas, it was desired by the promoters of the meeting, that the discussion should partake of as wide a field as possible, end embrace, not only the immediate County of Chester, but also the whole of the Principality of Wales, as well as those other counties in Eng land which were understood as being included in the North western district ; that it should extend itself to every part of the district, of which they believe Chester formed the most important point. (Hear, hear.) It was on those grounds that he had taken the liberty of explaining to the meeting the reasons why he now occupied the chair. Perhaps, it might not be known to every gentleman present, the means in which its proceedings were carried on by the Royal Agricultural Society; he would, therefore, state to the meeting, two or three facts in connection with this part of the subject—leaving it to those who were to propose the different resolutions, to enter more deeply into the general question. The chairman, here, briefly described the mode in which the society conducted its opera tions, by holding its successive annual meetings in different parts of the country ; by means of which, the agricultural community derived great advantages, by having opportunities of witnessing the best exhibitions of stock, produce, and agri cultural implements, which the country afforded. The man ner in which the society made its arrangements, was by allotting the who e of England and Wales into separate dis tricts. The district in which the County of Chester was included, embraced all the north-western part of the country ; consisting of the counties of Cheshire, Shropshire, and Stafford shire, and the whole of North Wales. Now, with regard to their friends in North Wales, it had been said, that there were some differences between them ; but, he might say, that now there was a perfect understanding, and he hel , eved he was correct in stating that, the inhabitants of the Principality were anxious, for their own advantage, that the exhibition of 1858 should bo held in Chester, They, in Cheshire, regarded it as of the greatest importance, that the interests of 1113 Principality should be couidered as well as their own ; and that they should go hand in hand with them. He was happy to see several gentlemen from the Principality present, and he was sure the meeting would be happy to hear the expression of their views. (Hear, hear.) But he thought, he might say, that some some difficulty had been felt in fixing upon a suit able place in North Wales. (Hear, hear ) If they found, then, that that difficulty did exist, and that they could provide much better accommodation in this neighbourhood, the next paint for consideration was the claim the city of Chester had upon the society, as compared with other places in the district which might feel themselves likely to he interested in the exhibition being held there. We might think that it w.oild he much to their interest and advantage that the locality should be placed at Chester, as the most convenient; but those re rig in other parts of the district might be of an opposite opinion. The next county to which he would refer was that of Shropshire. That county, no doubt, had claims upon the society, but it was not usual for the annual meetings of the society to he held in the same locality more than once, except at remote periods, and the society having already held ono meeting at Shrewsbury, the inhabitan•s of this locality thought that the meeting ought fairly to be held at Chester, in preference to any part of Shropshire. Well, then, there only remained the county of Stafford. No doubt the town of Stafford had considerable railway communi cation, and was placed in the centre of a large diatriet, and it might be urged that the meeting should be held there, but he had not heard that there had been any stops taken at Stafford, or that any particular anxiety had been shown to hold the meeting there. On all these grounds, he thought that the advantages of the entire district, as well as this county in par. ticular, would be consulted by the meeting being held at Chester. On the great advantages of holding the meeting at Chester., ether gentlemen would no doubt speak, but he might observe, that it was impossible to have a finer place than the Roodee, which had been secured in the event of Chester being fixed upon as the place of meeting ; and, so long as they had such ample railway communication with all parts of Ragland, every facility was afforded for conveying stock and implements from any district in the country. After some further remarks, the chairman concluded by calling upon Lieutenant Grey Egerton, who proposed the first resolution, to the effect, that Chester was the most convenient place in the district to hold the meeting, and that the Council of the Royal Agriculteral Society be solicited to fix upon Chester. Leaving out all personal considerations, he would not now stand before them to advocate the meeting of 1858 being held at Chester, did he not entertain the belief that it was the very best place in the district. (Hear, hear). Let any person take the map and look over the district which had been selected for the meeting of 18:58,, and he was sure that he would at once come to the conclusion that Chester was the very best place in the district. lt was the focus in which a great number of railways from all parts of England centred—Shropshire, London, Liver pool, Manchester, Holyhead, and several other places—and, what was of the greatest importance. no other town afforded the same facilites for North Wales. But it was not the advan tars of the immediate district itself that he wished to consider in advocating Chester. hoped and believed that the meet ing would be attended by visitors from all parts of the country, because so extensive was the net work of railways coming to Chester, that no one who wished to attend the meeting, that there were not ample facilities for bringing him to Cheater from any part of the country. The convenience for the attend ance of visitors from the other side of the channel were also un exceptionable, and they should be prepared to give a hearty recep ion to all who rrtig,ht come from the sister country, With regard to the ground which had been secured for the show, he would say that he knew of no more beautiful area in the country than the Roodeo. Then, again, there was a groat deal i❑ Chester to attract the attention and admiration of strangers. In no p'ace were there more objects of interests than in the city of Chester. In every point of view, he thought that Chester was not only a good situation for the meeting, but that it was the very best and most advantageous iu the district, and he hoped they would do all in their power to have the meetin g held here. (Loud applause.) Sir Richard litilkeley, Bart., M.P., seconded the resolution, fully concurring in all that had been said by the preceding speaker as to Chester being the most convenient place in the district. The attractions in Chester surpassed that of all other places in the district, if that wAs all, but It was not. He (Sir R. Bulkeley) was present in the Interest of North Wales, and he said there was no town in the district at which the meeting could be held which would be so advantageous to North Wales as Chester. (Cheers). The condition ofagriculture was deficient in North Wales, but it was not any deficiency in stock, but in the cultivation of the soil ; and as theme would be the greatest facilities for bringing a large collection of agricultural implements in the event of the show being held at Chester, that circumstance would doubtless have the effect of improving the cultivation of the soil in North Wales. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was carried unanimously, Earl Grosvenor, M.P., proposed the second resolution, that a subscription list be at once opened for the 'purpose of raising the necessary funds. Lie hoped that their friends in Chester would spare no exertions to have the meeting held here, and he also hoped that the other countica in the district, Shrop. shire and Staffordshire, would co-operate with them to effect that object. (Cheers.) Mr. Humberston, ex-mayor of Chester, seconded th mo ion, which was carried with acclamation. _ n Joh Tollemache, Esq.; M.P., proposed the next resolu appointing a committee of noblemen and gentlemen connected with the district, for the purpose of canying out the previous resolutions. - [The names of the committee, consisting of npwa'ds of 100 of the nobility and gentry of, the district, and headed by th e Marquis of We.,strninster, was here read over• by the dep uty town clerk, I _ _ Colonel Douglas Pennant, M.P., of Penrhyn Castle, near Bangor, seconded the resolution. F arm i ng was not very good Northin therefore, th e o f tener the farmers in that Wales, and ) district had an opportunity of seeing these great national exhibitions, the more must it contribute to the improvement of agriculture. As a North Wales man, he, could- give then% a proof of Chester being the bekt place for the convenience of North Wales. That naorniugAr Richard 131;lkeley and him self had travelled fifty Miles from a part of North Wales, in order to attend the present meeting. The resolution having been earried, R. C. Nayl or , E sq., high sheriff of Cheshire, proposed, and cleorgc Cornwall Leigh, Esq., seconded a vote of thanks to the THE NEW AUSTRALIAN SHIP, M‘LEOD It is a matter of no surprise to find new and magnificent ships in Liverpool, but it is a matter of some difficulty to find words to say something new about them, as the nautical vocabulary appears all but exhausted on this subject. Amongst the number of noble vessels now loading for Aus tralia, there is one that claims attention, she is named as above, and belongs to the 6 ' Mersey" line of Australian packets—Mr. E. Thompson —a new clipper ship of 1,365 tons (capable of carrying over 2,000 tons), possessing pecu liar features of beauty in naval architecture, and built with the finest symmetrical lines and proportions, such as strike the eve and command the attention, even of a landsman. Her hull is faultless, and her rigging of that quality that agrees ad m i ra bly w i t h the poetic idea of " Is she not beautiful?" Her tall taper masts—now gracefully rising— and see how she casts the foam from her bows, as the light fi.tting gales, in gusts from land and sea, are filling her sails! If her outline is handsome, her interior is not only so, but amply commodious, elegant, and comfortable. It is good that a ship should look well exteriorly, but it is indispensable in a passenger ship, particularly in one bound for Australia, that her interior should not only look well, but be so in reality. The M'Leod, in these points, can vie with any vessel in the trade—and that is no small matter—and challenge competition with her neighbours. The great majority of passengers going to the colony now take second cabin berths, and, to the credit of shipowners, they have provided for the com'ort and convenience of this class with liberal hands. Still there has been improvements regaired, and the owners of the M`Leod have adopted all that is requisite. The cabins of this ship, set apart for the class of passengers spoken of, are on the poop, and this is of importance in many respects, particularly in the vital principles of health, ventilation and light—essentials of prim try influence. The steerage berths, too, claim atten tion ; these are lofty, ample and well cared for, ventilated in the best manner, and affording accommodation not often to b, frond in vessels destined for long voyages. The grand cabin is a model, such as the most fastidious cannot find fault with. Another point, not to be overlooked, is the hospital department, which is situated on the main deck—a point which has long been contended for by medioal authorities, on the proper ground, that patients are much better provided for in deck hospitals than if placed below, as, on deck, fresh air—a great ingredient towards health — can he admitted, and where they are always within a moment's notice of the surgeon, who can instantly attend on them. This department, and the ship generally (in a medical point) is under the superintendence of Mr. Robert Colles, a gentleman of high attainments in the profession. A good ship should have an equally good, experienced, and qualified commander, and Captain Galbraith possesses these, and is also known for his gentlemanly and polite attention to passengers of all grades. Looking at the ship in all points, she is a desirable one for passengers, and it may be fairly presumed that this, her first voyage, will be rapid, and such as to establish her reputation, as a sea-going vessel in all respects.

The demand for copper is very large, and the smelters decline to take orders except upon the understanding that the price charged shall be that which is ruling on the day of delivery; and of course consumers are very unwilling to enter into engagements with such uncertainty as to price, especially as the smelters are not able to promise delivery for some time to come, their books being full of orders yet unexecuted. Manufactured iron continues dull, and prices in favour of buyers.
