Sir,—A writer in to-day's Courier, who signs himself " A Believer in the Infallibility of the Bible," makes some very unjust imputations against the Rev. John Macnaught, which tend to brand his congregation also with infidelity. He talks of Mr. Macnaught's " sly insinuations" against the Bible, and the " terrible havoc " he has male on its pages ; and, moreover, he classes the " Mac naughts " with the " semi-believers and wholesale unbelievers "—a long list of whose names are given. Now, sir, I believe that writer is one of those who only know Mr. Macnaught by hearsay, and who, therefore, is unqualified to judge in the matter. I invite him to come to St. Chrysostom's for a few Sundays (although every seat is crowded, room will be made for him), and I have little fear that he will be happy to make the amen le honorable to Mr. Macnaught afterwards. Whatever Mr. MaenauE. , ,ht's "Doctrine of LuTiration " may be, it cannot be denied that he inculcates by his preaching, and enforces by his life, as much reverence and submission to the teaching of the Bible, as do any of its (commonly called) othodox teachers. I have read Mr. Macnaught's book ; and, without agreeing with all its conclu sions, I am convinced that none but a sincere Christian could write it. I have heard him preach. and "Would I describe such a preacher as Paul," Macnaught should guide me His sermons have religion for their subject, and not hair-splitting theology ; they are discourses about the realities of life and eternity, abounding with the highest and truest philosophy—that God is love—and not debates with imaginary enemies about creeds an.i articles. He dives into the secrecies of life, dis closing the cheats and tricks of the social and commercial world, and denounces them with a fiery tongue. He exhibits, undisguised, the deformities of evil, and magnifies the loveliness of good. As I have listened to him, I have often thought that he may be one of those original minds that visit the world now and then, and, being in advance of their age, it is their fate to remain misunderstood in their generation ; but their worth is sure to be found out by posterity. I do think that this whole bitter contro versy, so foreign to religion, originally arose in a misunderstanding, and that since Mr. Macnaught was expelled from the Clerical Society, he has been grievously misrepre sented, and more grievously maligned ; but his truth and candour, his zeal and eloquence, his life and doctrine—coincident —have raised him to aposi tion where he can afford to look down with eon tempt upon the low charge .of infidelity that has been been brought against him. Sir, truth, at the present time especially, has no stated uniform, but is covered in such various garbs—in terms so vague and ill-defined, in forms so misunderstood, in customs without reasons — that every man must ask and give concessions. Unity is impossible, and need not be hoped for. Therefore, let all who have a Shibboleth of their own, think well and charitably, instead of raising a flame for the immolation of all who say Sibbo leth.—l am, sir, yours respectfully, J. G. Liverpool, Dec 10, 1856. MR. SPURGEON AT THE SURREY GARDENS MUSIC HALL LONDON. On Sunday morning last we determined to bear for our selves the popular young preacher, and accordingly joined the immense throng, it could not be less than from six to eight thousand, which in spite of the temnestuons weather filled the Music Hall on that occasion. Wishing to gain a good view of all, we ascended by the fatal staircase to the reserved seats on the second gallery. Many of our readers doubtless know how imposing is the coup d'ceil fron that position. It is obvious enough why the congregation and preacher were for a long time not aware of the fatal acci dent which had occurred, since no one from within can sea the staircase in the tower. The service was of the most orderly kind, and such as is usual in most dissenting chapels. The singing from so many thousand voices had a peculiarly solemn and imprestive s ° ffset. The preacher had chts n repentance, and a very solemn text, Psalms c. vii., v. 12, "If he turn not he wilt whet his sword," for his subject. His prayers were appropriate to it, as were also his remarks on the latter i part of the 25th chapter of Matthew, which W Iti put tio, of S,b-intnro rood. It what we heard lest Sunday be a specimen of Mr. Spurgeon's usual preaching, there was certainly nothing at all more extravagant than would be heard from most of the Evangelical clergymen and Dissenting preachers in the country. There were ne outrageous descriptions of Divine angrr and future punish ment, nor any wire-drawn refinements on the theology of repentance. His sutements on the latter point were characterised by remarkable common sense; they were forcibly mr€ls..ed and illustrated, as were his arguments for the necessity of repentance. Indeed, there was little in which preachers of all creeds would not have concurred. His voice is a noble one, filling the whole place with the greatest ease; at a further end of the building we did not miss a syllable. His manner was perfectly unrestrained. but not irreverent. His command of language is very con siderable, but does not lead him, for an evempore speaker, into verbosity. His style is unfettered, homely, forcible, and abounds in pointed remarks. There was a totsl absence of anything humerous or ludicrous, if it has been his habit to indulge in such things. The secret of his popularity, taking last Sunday as a specimen, appeared to us to be some thing very different. It was impossible not to feel that the preacher was absorbed, not in himself, bat in his audience. The formal separation of the pulpit did not separGte him from his hearers. He conversed with them—he was one of them. lie did not lecture them ex cathedra, or indulge in disquisitions or topics out of their line of thought, but spoke to them as he would have done on a golemn subject in their own houses. Most of our pulpits 'f die - of dignity," but while there was nothing unbecoming on Sunday, the preacher placed himself on a level with all. Of course a vivid fancy, and considerable powers of expression, aided by a first-rate voice, will account for much ; but we think what we have pointed out was the chief reason why, among 54 many thousands of hearers, we could not, and we looked a single sleeper. Oar more dignified carefully, ate, advantage the phenomenon of preachers might study this youth's popularity. We can say thatt thirst our part, his manner disarmed criticism, and we cout,..A tk only of his probable usefulness to the thousands present, who, we are confident, by their appearance, are not listeners to our customary pulpit prosaics. Lord Chief Justice Campbell, with his son, was present on the platform, and seemed to take the same view with ourselves; he remarked several times to one of the managers, after the service, in our hearing, and also to Sir Richard Mayne, who was like wise present, "He is doing good, sir—great good." Lon don could find room for twenty such preachers ; they are just what the populace needs.—Globe. IRISHMEN IN INDIA.—The following narrative is con densed from the Freeman's Journal —" Sir 'William Brooke O'Shaughnessy, our distinguished countryman, on whom her majesty has just conferred the hnnnnr of knight hood, is a native of Limerick, and obtained the appoint ment of assistant surgeon in the East India Company's service in 1830 ; nearly at the some time he became physician to Sir C, (afterwards Lord) Metcalfe, governor of Agra. A medical college having been established in Calcutta for the education of nativez, he was appointed its professor of chemistry. He was pointed out as the fittest person to superintend the laying down of the electric tele graph, when it was decided to extend to India the advantages of that discovery. Under the direction of the governor general he has completed telegraph lines from the seat of gosernment to all the presidencies. Sir William Brooke O'Shaughnessy is a descendant of ore of the most ancient and illustrious of the oLI Irish families, who possessed a large territory in the counties of Clare and Galway up to the time of 'William 111, but were held to have forfeited them by their attachment to King James. Sir Roger O'Shaugh nessy, who held a commission in the army of James, and whose portrait is exhibited amon g their family portraits in the gallery of the Ormonds, at Kilkenny, was the last Possessor of the Lougleooter esta tes, near Gort, having left Ireland f or F rance a fter the treaty of Limerick with the army of James, and died there. The estates were held by the crown for some years , un til an occasion arose o n which It was necessary to bestow a s u itable reward. The re was a conspiracy to assassinate William at Kensin g ton, called the Kensington plot, whi c h was di scovere d, and, perhaps , William's life saved, by a Mr. Prendergast, whom Macaulay describes to be a Roman Catholic gentleman of good family in the South of England. He was rewarded with a grant of the O'Shatighnessy estates. His son, Rho was created a baronet, Sir Thomas Frendergast, having died without male i s sue, they descended to Lord Gort, through the female line. These estates have recently passed from that family through the Encumbered Esta tes Court to Lord Gou g h. W e under stand Sir Wiliam ir. now engaged in carrying out, by direction of the East India Company, a direct line of con]. munication from London to Calcutta." NAVIGATION OF THE TIGRIS AND COTTON CULTIVATION. On Wednesday a meeting of the directors of the Man chester COmmercial Association took place, for the purpose of giving .an audience to Colonel Moss'oud Bey, chief of the staff of the Pacha of Bagdad, a gentleman connected with the effort makieg to improve the navigation of the river Tigris, and who has come to Europe in order to pur chase steamers suitable to the proposed navigation. In laying before the association the objects he had in seeking the interview, Colonel Moss'oud Bey said that the Pacha of Bagdad was very desirous of ameliorating the condition of the country over which he was placed. The Pacha was a very energetic man, and, having been educat'd at the Ecole Polytechnique, at Paris, he was well ac quainted with and had much sympathy for Euro peans, will whom he was very desinus of pro moting a commercial intercourse. Since the commence ment of his government, Mehemed Reshid Pacha had devoted all his energies towards the development of the 1 natural resources, which were considerable, cf the country over which he presided. Whilst directing his attention to the cutting of some canals in the vicinity of Bagdad he had decided on having a regular steam communication between Bagdad and Bassora. In order to carry out this object the pacha had directed him (Colonel Moss'oud Bey), being the chief of his staff, to visit the principal commercial towns of Europe, for the purpose of effecting the purchase of sundry steamers which the central government had decided upon procuring. This, therefore, was the object of his official visit to England ; but, whilst carrying oat the especial aim of his journey, he had thought it might be' advantageous to his own country, as well as to the enterprising spirit of this commercial community, were he to endeavour to direct the public attention to the many commercial capabilities of the country from which he had come. He had, therefore, sought an interview with this association, and would be most happy to answer any question that might be put to him. Bagdad was situated on the river Tigris, about 250 miles above its junction with the Euphrates, although the actual distance between the two rivers in the vicinity of the town was 25 miles. From time immemorial Bagdad bad been a place of considerable trade. It was not so extensive now as at some former periods of its history •, but the deca dence of the country was mainly attributable to the mal administration of the government, which was formerly too much the fate of other parts of the Ottoman empire. Hap pily, however, a new era had arisen in Turkish history, and men of energy, intelligence, and probity, were now selected by the imperial government as the representatives of the Sultan in the various pachalics. The soil of the province of Bagdad, or as it was anciently called Mesopotamia, wherein stood the capitals of B abylon and Nineveh, was of a fine alluvial quality, extending hundreds of miles. It was, however, from want of enterprise, so uncultivated that in the language of the country it was called " the desert." It had, however, nothing in common with the usual accept ance of the word "desert"—there were no interminable districts of burning sand, refusing every attempt at culti vation ; but, on the contrary, ".the desert" of the province of Bagdad yielded a recompense to the first agricultural attempts. On its willing soil grew luxuriantly all descrip tions of corn, rice, cotton (Sea Island had been tried and proved good), flax, hemp, and many oil bearing seeds, such as sesame, and the mulberry. The present pacha had himself planted nearly half a million of the latter tress, and when it was considered how extensive was the trade in silk from Persia, this act of the pacha showed his strong; desire to make his country an exporting one. In order, likewi , e, to show the diversity of soil, he (the colonel) might mention that the apple, the pear, the date (in abundance), the fig, and the orange, besides other European esculents, throve well there. .The growth of wool was likewise enormous ; but, from the lack of enterprise, it was allowed to fall ungathered from the backs of the sheep. He had entered into these details as to the capabilities of the soil in the hope of demonstrating that, with the intro duction of fresh capital, a considerable remuneration would result. Even with a small capital, a quick and ample return would be obtained. Manual labour was cheep, and the people were most willing to work if they were headed by proper overseers. The rights of property were rigidly maintained by the Turkish government, and contracts between the natives and Englishmen were registered by the consul, which gave them the same validity as if effected in England. The Turkish government, also, were most tolerant in religious opinions ; and the acknowledged virtues of the Turkish character, namely, probity and word-keeping, were well maintained in his (the colonel'-) country. At present there was a wide field for the engineer at Bagdad. In order to fertilise and bring under cultivation the soil of the dis trict, the cutting of canals and every form of irrigation must be very prominent features. The outlay for such operations would be exceedingly mod rate, for the ground was fiat, unencumbered with a one and rock, and of a clayey nature' and from the near vicinity of the two livers, the Euphrates and Tigris, the command of water was great. Every car.al and fresh mode of irrigation would s )on repay itself, from the very fact of the greatly improved value it would give to the conti,t,uous laud. in former times the greatest attention was devoted o these branches of agricultural improvement ; hut unfortunately they, from oun,ley o tir , eo, had bet;titt. neglected. Still the remains of many a noble line of canal emoted, wh:oh 000ld La rendered available in the prey: rat day ; and Mehemed Reshid Pacha bad devoted a considerable portion of his activity and the res mrces of his exchequer to the extension of them. The ohj.ct which tho Sublime Porte had in view in establishing steam cnmmtinica . i,m between Bagdad anal Bussora was this—above Bagdad, the produce of the surrounding districts was at prese•it c veyed down the Tigris on rafts ; the liver, unfortunately, not being at present sufficiently navigaMe for a deeper mode of conveyance. Filen Bagdad to Bassora, however, the river 3 hided greater facilities for navigation, and could accommodate steamers of a light draught of wa er. By the adoption of steamers, the heavy and onerous charg , s of towage, with the serious and often disastrous loss of time , were obviated , but, above all, security to the property embarked on the Tigris was obtained. This was extremely desirable, from the fact that the banks of the river were at times subj , cted to occasional inroads of the roving Arabian tribes, who levied a kind of black-mail on all parties who fell into their hands. Steam, however, would ensure safety from all such attacks, and would promote what was the wish of the Sublime Porte—a steady ameli - ration of the country, and an extension of trade to India, Arabia, and even Europe. In the course of a conversation which followed, the colo nel stated that Mr. Rassam, British vice consul at Mossul, had tried the experiment of growing cotton, and had sue • seeded, not only in fact, but in a commercial point of view. No company had as yet been formed at Badgad ; but all that was required was a little capital to commence with, and he had do doubt filet cotton cultivation might suc ceed, and he believed for this purpose £15,000 to £20,000 would be quite sufficient, for which a monthly interest might be paid. This was supposing the money were expended in irrigating the gardens and lands in the neigh bourhood of Badgad, Mr. Clegg, a director of the association, put several questions; te the colonel as to the growth of cotton in the neighbourhood of Badgad, and the colonel stated that a nuantity was at present produoed and used by the inhabitants for their own consumption, but for want of proper means its preparation was very expensive. Mr. Clegg did not think it advisable at present that any public company should undertake the experiment, but thought the natives them•elves should be induced to enn mecca the growih of cottofi as much as possible, but on a small scale at first, and the experiment might be undertaken afterwards on a larger scale if they succeeded. He referred to the cultivation of cotton on the west coast of Africa a s being on a larger scale than was generally supposed, and thought the time was come when chambers of commerce and associations like this should do all in their power to encourage such undertakings. He thought it very desirable some individual should he induced to go to Bagdad to see what. could he done to induce tho people to cultivate the cotton plant. Evidently what they required was not money so much as instruction and guidance. After some remarks from Mr. Wm. Gibb (who presided in the absence of the president and vice-president) and others, a vote of thanks was given to Col. Mossfouti Bey for his attendance, and the information he had given, and the meeting then separated. AS MANTLES and JACKETS are so very generally worn this Season, J.

Sumner 2962 Constellation Great Western 863 38,450 is wanting beyond this to secure for the trade further animation. The returns given below exhibit the increase which is taking place in our export trade, which has never been so decidedly marked as during the present year. Of the commodities enumerated, it is estimated that the values exported will, by the end of -the year, reach twenty millions sterling ; and that the weightJatill be nearly.two millions of tons. At the same time, the demand for iron from the United States has not been nearly so great as was anticipated ; indeed, since the month of April last,, the o-ders from thar quarter have been one continued disappointment. The cause of this Is now' pretty generally understood and admitted—the price here is too high, and so long as ' present rates are adhered to will the demand from America be comparatively limited. The merchants on the other side allege that existing rates in England are just sufficiently high to enable their own ironuristers to 'supply the market to the full extent of their production ; - and that the production itself is increasing, stimulated by the prices prevailing in this country. To prevent the undesirable extension of the iron manufacture in the United States, the most effective way wi l be a general reduction of prices. At home there is a very general feeling that finished iron is £1 a ton too high, and that a more moderate price would be better for consumers, and in the long run for preduzers, by securing for the. trade a more uniformly healthy action. With the approach of the preliminary•meeting of the trade, the desirability of a reduction has been very much discussed, and although it is understood that some of the principal firms are very much opposed to it, a reduction is by no means impro bable. The following are the returns referred to above, as marking the progress of the iron trade, and the branches dependent upon it, in the way of exports, during the ten months of this year :-- 1855, 1856. 1855.

The tin plate trade continues brisk, both in this district and in Wales. The coal trade is remarkably brisk, so much so, that there is no longer any underselling; but the supply is said to be sufficiently great to check any advance of prices at present. The correspondence between the Airee tors and auditors of the Great Northern Railway, published yesterday, gives a' further illustration - of . the use lessness of the existing modes of audit. The auditors in this case insist that Mr Redpsth's department was wholly 'out of their sphere, and so clear is their conviction on the subject that they refused, after the discovery of his delinquency, to promote any examination until the directors had distinctly expressed concurrence • with this view. The directors having made the desired ad mission the plea must be presumed to be correct, but the question arises as to the nature of a system which, - while it professses to give a guarantee to the shareholders that all the accounts of - the concern are properly verified, totally Ex cludes that department where the facilities for malversation are . greater than :in any other. There seems, however, no likelihood of any con celled action on the part of public companies to establish a uniform and effective plan under the management of paid officers, independent of local boards, and liable to dismiesal for want of vigi lance. For the next year or two, probably, the transfer accounts will be sufficiently watched to keep that particular branch of service safe in every instance, and the next discoveries will be in some wholly unexpected department, in which the excuse will again be available that the -routine auditors could never have been expected to have their eyes upon it. According to the last advices - from India, the Calcutta Chamber of Commerce had unanimously passed a strong resolution in favour of the Eastern Bengal Railway, intended to run from Calcutta through the delta of the Ganges to Jessore, and ultimately to the city •of Races. -The indigo \ planters exAcielation were also about to take the question into consideration. Meanwhile the •arrangements for the survey were making progress, the government showing every disposition to facilitate them. The financial crisis which has lately prevailed at Oopenhagen is spreading to other parts of Den mark; money is exceedingly scarce, and cannot be obt tined except on very one,:ous terms. At Kiel several failures in the grain trade have been an nounced, owing to the heavy speculation which has recently been carried on. At Hamburg money is more plentiful, two and three monthst bills having been discounted at 4 per cent, and second-quali ties at per cent From Paris the accounts state that the question now exciting chief attention is the probability of an immediate alteration in the discount regulations of the Bank of France. It is presumed that the position of the establishment is so much improved ati IQ admit of some relaxation, and the first step, it is supposed, will be the negotiation of bills - having 90 days to run, the period hitherto having been restricted to 60 days.

The Bunk of England directors:held their weekly c )urt, but, as was generally anticipated, separated without making any further change in the official value of discount accommodation. This determi nation was expected. because the demand for money " out of doors" for commercial purposes is supported, and unless under very extraordinary circumstances, the authorities are disinclined to reduce the minimum too rapidly. Besides this, the position of monetary affairs in France has not yet sufficiently improved ; and as the anomalous situ ation in which our market has recently been placed, is in part attributable to the progress of events on the other side of the Channel, the authorities are compelled to be guided by financial movements abroad as well as at home. As soon as the former are more favourable, and the Bank of France is enabled to afford increased relief to the commercial community, a further relaxation may be expected here, provided no new obstacles arise. The demand for Money for commercial purposes, according to a London contemporary of this even ing, continues good. In some quarters transactions are reported at a slight reduction from the Bank rate, but this is exeept:.onal, the Bank minimum being generally fully maintained. Confidence maintained, however, by the belief that the present demand is merely temporary, consisting of the usual provisi6n against the close of the year, and. . that at the commencement of the new year, in conjunction with the January dividend payments, en easier market will he witnessed. An immediate i reduction of the Bank of England rates does not j seem to be generally looked for, but many parties I welch each weekly Court with interest. The Stock Market was quieter than for a Jong time past, the inactivity usually succeeding the closing of the transfer books being augmented by the little disposition shown to extend opera ions for an advance As long as the market remains firm, however, the speculators who bougllt at lower quotations do not seem inclined to realise. as there is a better prospect of an additional improvement than of a reactionary movement.

With a view to clear up doubts which have been erepreased respecting. tile real position of the 2,000,000/ of preferential bonds proposed to be issued by the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, the Stock Exchange authorities have put themselves in communication with the company, and the following explicit answer has been re ceived ; Offices of the Grand Trunk Railway Company of Canada, 21, Old Broad street, London, Dec. q, 1856. Dear Sir, —With reference to your inquiry, I beg to state that the spirit and intention of the act of the Canadian legislature, passed last session, is that, provided two millions of preference capital therein authorised be raised, the province will provide for the interest on its debentures issued in favour of this company for five years, and that it will forego its rights as first mortgagee in perpetuity, rank ing "as to dividend or interest with that of the company's bondholders.': The wording of the act might, perhaps, be olearer, but the intention, as well as the fact, are un d o ubted. —I am, &e, RoNsy, Secretary. Mihill Slaughter, Esq, Secretary of the Railways Department, Stock Exchange. The commercial intelligence from the Continent this morning was considered as generally satisa factory. Letters from Amsterdam represent the recent rise of 1 per cent. in the rate of discount as a merely defensive movement on the part of the Bank, which was subjected to a certain drain in consequence of the higher value of money now With ruling . in Paris and London. At Hamburg the ra t e of exchang e i s s till f a lling, and stand s now at on l y four atnhdregard aahalf to the per ir cen o t n . vvand coal trade, we make the following extract from a trade report, dated Birmingham, Dec. 10th : The reports in relation to the iron trade, both here and in Wales, are decidedly more favourable than they were a month ago i for Staffordshire iron there is an increased demand, especially for bars and sheets ; the second class establishments are better off for orders; consumers at home, whose stocks are almost without exception low, are ordering more freely for immediate use. The improvement which has taken place is not confined to finished iron; in the course of the last fortnight there has been more business doing in pig iron ; sales are not pressed to the e x tent they were represented to have been a short time since ; the consequence is increased firmness of prices, and the opinion prevails that the prices at which pig iron could be bought have touched their lowest point. The growing ease of the money market will, no doubt, have a considerable effect in restoring the trade to a healthy tone; but it is felt that something • ' »' -. ARRIVED.
