How is this ? These are the deplorable effects of certain causes. To arrive at the proper remedy for public crime as it now prevails should be the study of all well regulated minds. We send our missionaries abroad• We institute our clergy aid societies, our town missions, our hospitals, our schools, and our colleges ; but these, although not only desirable, nay, indispensably necessary,are in. stituted and carried on amidst the hot beds of iniquity which the executive authorities of the country license to be nothing more than nurseries of prolific and enormous crimes. It is time, then, seeing the state in which society is placed, to sweep away these mighty avalanches of iniquity—the dancing and singing saloons — together with all other dubious resorts of the dissipated, the dishonest, and the immoral. Fair be it from us to deny the people recreation and innocent enjoyment. It is their right, and no laws or executive power should attempt its curtailment. When, however, such places as we have alluded to, become notorious for sending forth the worst of characters, it is time they were shut up. We hold that, as it is the duty of the Government to restrain the vicious, it is no less their duty to restrain the disposition to be vicious. This can only be done by a thorough system of mental and moral culture, imparted by thoroughly qualified educators. The mind, like the works of a watch, has its wheels working upon wheels, each intimately connected with the other; and until this is perfectly understoorl and carried into practical operation, 0 1 17: educational efforts will be futile and nur schools mere machines of letters—where the giddy, the dissolute, and the gay, will acquire little or nothing to teach them to curb their immoral tendencies, whilst they enter upon the busy haunts of life, prepared for mischief, instead of acting the part of moral and upright citizens. These reflections are forced upon us by the current crimes of the day—the Great Northern Railway Frauds, the Gold Dust Robbery, the Parliament_ street, the Erith and Wokingham murders, with a long list of other crimes to which we need not now specially refer. Let us hope that a proper remedy will soon be devised and speedily adopted, so that Great Britain cannot, will not, be regarded as the most criminal of nations. " She has drawn upon her imagination for facts," was the sedate remark of a certain Scotch meta physician, when asked his opinion of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's works, Uncle Tom's Cabin and Dred. Never was the truth of such a sentiment better or more fully demonstrated than in the rumour set afloat by a certain " special cor respondent" of one of the London papers, when he stated to our metropolitan cotemporaries that he had got a telegraphic despatch stating that Hr. Buchanan was actually elected President. This sage, and adventurous Scribe, is bent upon " Hunting" up a livelihood, when he details such stories. Nothing definite can be known of the actual votes recorded for Fremont and Buchanan, until the Atlantic arrives; she was to sail from New York on the Bth inst., four days after the votes'were taken. The Atlantic may be expected here tomorrow, until then, we advise our readers to place no reliance upon the report alluded to, and for this reason, that the Captain of the Arabia could learn nothing new respecting the election of the President at Halifax on the 7th inst., and if the agent of the New York Associated Press got a telegraph despatch to the effect that Buchan nan was elected, why did he not give the exact words in his " latest telegraph via Halifax," instead of putting it at the top of the American news—an advertisement evidently intended to " Hunt" up business. An inquest has been held on the body of Mr. George, whose melancholy fate was narrated in yesterday's issue, when, from the evidence, no doubt existed that the unfortunate gentleman had been brutally murdered. The instrument with which his throat had' been cut had disappeared, nothing with a sharp edge having beer ~ found in the room except a penknife. wh;^l----ao sluice clean The hey or me door had also vanished, th. murderer having evidently locked the door and taken the key with him. A. towel was found covered with marks of blood and some cuts, as if the knife with which the deed was done had been wiped in it in a hasty manner. But when the body was examined by medical men no farther evidence was required that a murder had been perpetrated. The throat was mangled in a shocking manner, the lobe of one of the ears was cut off, and one side of the skull nearly battered in with some blunt instrument, a circumstance which was further explained by some clotted blood and hair found on the poker. Some of the mysterious circumstances of the case remain, however, still unexplained. Thus, the large sum of money, amounting to several hundred pounds in gold and notes, which still lay on the table, would not indicate that a robbery had been committed, although it is stated that a large sum besides that thus undisturbed is missing. The secretary of the company was examined, and showed that the deceased had made up his accounts in a satisfactory manner up to Wednesday last, and that no circumstances could be discovered to impeach his character in the slightest degree. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. In connection with this deplorable case, we cannot but regret that some of the London papers have been guilty of great indiscretion in at once stamping Mr. Little as another heavy railway defaulter, and attributing his death to that cause which forced him to commit suicide. We hope that all our cotemporaries, who have given pub licity to such insinuations, will so far do justice to the murdered man, and to his sorrowing friends and relations, as to retract the imputation, and apologise for their indiscretion. Our Continental advices begin to give hope that the King of Naples is in a repenting mood, and that at the eleventh hour he is disposed to make a few concessions for the purpose of showing to Europe that when he refused to follow the advice of the allied powers he acted as an indepen dent prince, but that the acts of grace which he contemplates emanate from his own sovereign will, uncontrolled and untimidated. The letters of our Paris correspondent give full details upon all matters of interest in France. From Vienna we learn that the Bassarabian question makes no progress in Austria, and that England steadily refuses to agree to the resump• tion of the Conferences, until they come to a satisfactory understanding. with France, regarding Bolgrade, and the Isle of Ser. pents. It is said that the firmness dis• played by the Austrian Cabinet in the matter has excited equal astonishment and anger at Paris, and Baron de Bourgueney has received instructions to appeal from Count Buol to the Emperor Joseph. The latest advices state that the reply of the Emperor Napoleon to M. de Kissleff does not pro duce any great impression at Vienna, as the speech which he made to Baron Hubner, when he was appointed ambassador, is still fresh in the recollee• tion of the Austrians. Atitt4trn fituts TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1856. THE DAY'S NEWS f The columns of this day's NORTHERN TIMES, present a fearful catalogue of Crime. Murders, abberies, Railway Frauds, Criminal Assaults, and other offences of less magnitude seem to be the order of the day. Such atrocious crimes as it is our duty to record must prove a source of much pain to the philanthropist and the Christian, — that class who, from the most benevolent motives, are never weary in well doing, that they may feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and instruct the ignorant, so that the needy, the distressed, and the outcasts of society may be Provided for and reclaimed. Our " model prisons," our "reformatories," "penal servitude," and "ticket. °f•leave" systems must be pronounced failures. They hav e not —if re li ance can b e p l ace d upon t h e assize and sess i ons calandars—effected much, if any improvement, in the morals or outward demeanour of a no inconsiderabl e p or ti on o f community. It therefore becomes not only an important, but a pressing duty for the public to take up the matter, and devise some means for an instant and effectual stoppage of crime. We have but too many glaring instances proving that the gallows has no terrors to awe the mu r d erer . The bravado of a Palmer,, or a Do ve , when led out before thousands of their fellow creatur es to tread the scaffold's drop, and in a moment after. wards face their Maker, seems as if to create in the hardened and depraved a thirst f or blood, regardless of the consequence: and to think no more of legal strangulation than they would of an h our ' s l a b or ious exercise upon the treadmill. Nor does transportation or penal servitude intimidate the dishonest. They know that a year or two of correc t con duct will gain for them a " ticket of leave," and enable them to return to their former haunts to practice still darker deeds of deception and roguery, planned and arranged upon improved principles. amidst the lonely quietude of the solitary cell. The There is nothing new from Madrid. Various silly rumours are afloat respecting the Queen and her recognition of the children of Don Carlos, and their consequent return to Spain. The Honourable S. Wortley having accepted the office of Solicitor General, the Recordership of the City of London becomes vacant as a matter of course. The honourable and learned gentleman will, in a few days, officially notify his resignation to the city authorities, and there is every reason to believe that Mr. Bodkin, the well known criminal practitioner, will be his successor. The non arrival of the James Baines, begins to extite some apprehension for her safety. The underwriters, taking advantage of the same, have raised the rate of insurance to 10 guineas per cent. Considering the character of the ship, and the abilities of the captain and officers, we still indulge the hope that she will, ere many tides pass by, enter the Mersey safe and sound, with all on board in the enjoyment of good health. According to a telegraphic despatch from Paris, dated last night, we learn that advises from St. Petersburg state that a rather large corps of Russian troops is concentrating near the frontiers of Persia and Turkey, in order to make Russian influence prevail, should the affairs of Persia and Affghanistan assume a serious character. elected President of the United States. His return had not been officially announced, but the general impression was that he would be selected as the future ruler of the Union by a considerable majority. Of such triumphs of opinion few men would like to boast about in any civilised society. The enemies of humanity have but a contemptible number of sympathisers, Thero can be only a very trifling modicum of honour about tricksters who would accept place at the hands of a minority of a nation of free men. A majority of millions of votes, that is the votes of the American people, would not secure the return of the representative of the people if FREMONT has really been defeated. The Southern slavers have the whip hand of the Free States. They can ride over the Constitution, and cheat the majority, whom WASHINGTON meant to rule, out of their birthright; and, what's more, out of that high, moral, and political character they ought to be able to claim all over the world. To represent, in the face of civilisation, such a base political juggle, is not ono of those unmixed marks of distinction to which a true and enlightened republican statesman would aspire. It shows to mankind, that, under the " Star Spangled nanner:' great and grievous political frauds can be per petrated on the people of a Republic. The ambition of a true patriot generally takes a loftier flight. It has at all times sided with the oppressed, and sought to deliver the captive and We do not look for many very God-like attri butes in the politicians of this age, nor do we claim for Europe more than is due to the civilised por tions of America; still we cannot believe that there is a right-minded man in the British Isles, no matter what his politics may be, who would accept the honours which we are now left to believe have been conferred on Mr. Buchanan. No Englishman, we feel convinced, would seek the questionable dignity of representing a constituency of slave-drivers, in opposition to a majority of the people of a free country. And we do not hesitate to say that the day will come when the desendants of the successful slave-President will blush at the triumph of their ancestor. Public opinion is rising to a high standard—morality is spreading and religion is growing rapidly. Progress is the word—the business of this generation ; and what a paradox Mr. Buchanan's election must inevi tably appear to the readers of history twenty or thirty years hence. The horrors and disgust with which the Englishmen of the present day look back upon the names associated with our slave traffic., are nothing to what the rising generation of American freemen will be, when they recount the atrocities of the negro's bondage in the States. They will ask, " Who " dared to disgrace our Republican soil—our spot " less and heroic ancestors, by such deeds ?" May the answer end with the name last on the list of slave driving President's—BUCHANAN. May we hear no more of " mistaken men." It is too late in this Christian era for the rulers of the earth to be losing their way, when humanity and all else that qualifies a man for the conduct of a nation's affairs, is at stake. Mr. BUCHANAN is, possibly, a good and kind man in all the relations of private life—a man of the nicest honour, area ; 1 grnant—hip,l l Pducation unimpeachable morality, and confiding in reli gion. But, what of all that ? What is he in politics ? What are his predelictions as the guide of a nation's destiny ? What precepts has he to leave after him to his country ? What maxims will he bequeath to posterity ? Does he seek power to banish a plaguo from the core of civilised society —to clip the wings of what was once an European abomination—to grant the prayer of humanity—and to remove the wrath of God from the land that may be committed to his care ? We fear not. We" question his political honesty. The means by which alone he can have won a triumph will be enough to shake our faith in in his virtues as a public man. Happily, his supporters cannot raise him to a hereditary throne. His reign of power will be typical of the duration of the system to which he owes his elevation to office. He is about the last of slaveholding minority men who will be suffered to rule over the millions of freemen who are now practically disfranchised. The contest has been too fierce this time for pigmy statesmen, and too instructive for really generous and enobled American spirits to attempt to identify their names with a cause which need only be whispered abroad to excite universal execration. Mr. BUCHANAN must, therefore, make the most of his opportunity, should it prove that he has been returned. He must annex all he can, and carry the acquisitive principle out with all despatch. Kansas must be made a Slave State at the point of the bayonet. Her Free Soilers must be all shot down without delay. Cuba can be bought, as money is wanted to Russianise Spain, and bring despotism as near the heart of Western Europe as possible. Mexican heroes are always in want of ready money, and another slice of their native land may be had a bargain. Slavery, with its boundaries and immunities, may be spread south and west, within the next few years, to a prodigious extent. But if Mr. BUCHANAN be a republican—an American full of penetration and matured political convictions—how long will he give all this foul political play—all this social abomination, and debasing depravity—to last? Can ho not see that it is all a flash in the pan— a benighted crusade against reason—a childish hood-winking of the certainty of retributive justice—an infamous hoax on the world at large, and his own countrymen in par ticular? We fear his sojourns on this side of the Atlantic have made him more European than the CZAR, more incomprehensible them a HApsnuaen, and less Republican than a DERBY. Still, should he win the big fight, we shall lose nothing in a material point of view. If he will prolong the curse of slavery in America, we shall have more cotton, rice, and sugar, and the planter less money. And as political prejudice runs high in this country at times, our capitalists and philantropists may combine their strength, and endeavour to promote the growth of those tropical products where free labour abounds. TILE secret policy which led to the Paris Con ference, and the conclusion of Peace, has at last leaked out. "It was," says; the London Times, " not for our convenience, but to save Russia from the " first shock of a campaign which she was totally " unable to meet, that these matters were allowed " to stand over for the decision of a commission ; " and we see no reason why she should be. allowed " to profit by her abuse of a regulation designed " exclusively for her own benefit." The " matters" here referred to embrace all that for which we went to war—the maintenance of the SULTAN'S rights and independence, the preservation of the sove- THE intelligence received by th e l as t A mer i can reignty of th e P r i nc i pa lities, and the free navi mail, which we published yesterday, leaves butvery gation of the Danube. These are the " matters " little room to doubt that BUCHANAN has been which the Conference left to be settled by com- mission. The policy which led to the meeting of Congress is now before the world, and the result of " a regulation designed exclusively " for " the " benefit" of our enemy is worthy of the spirit in which it was conceived. Treachery was never more barren. Its mission is to multiply human Borrows.. Was it to save the Russian army that we lost 30,000 of England's best men ? We may safely ask this question, now that we are informed that, to " save Russia the shock of a campaign, " which she was totally unable to meet," we con sented in the hour of victory to the shallow terms of peace, proposed by foreign diplomatists. War is as imminent at this moment as it was in NoVem4 ber, 1853, and should war be openly proclaimed in April next, we shall know what we have to thank for its recurrence, and those whose policy we can trust in the hour of danger, and on the day of triumph. Diplomatic Conferences, " designed exclusively "to save" the lawless disturbers of the world's peace, must be for ever repudiated after what we have just heard. We have less reason to fear war than any people upon earth. It can neither disturb our dynasty, or overthrow our civil and political freedom. By using our power to enforce our rights and interests as a commercial and free nation, we might be able to count great gains in favour of industry and civilization at the end of another war. It is Europe—Continen tal Europe—that needs repose—time to reform, tranquilise, comfort, and enrich itself. We . may not have the twelve moral virtues, so highly extolled by ARISTOTLE, but we have attained Mag nificence as a Power, which, according to the same philosopher, is the perfection of all the rest. We now show this in our diplomacy as revealed by the London Times; for it has reached the magnificence of absurdity, and the utmost gorgeousness of treason towards the peace of the world. We have, how ever, but these political sins to set against our magnificence as a people, a State, and an Empire. We were in a position to prove the stupendousness of our power, when dipk macy stepped forward to design the exclusive salvation of Russia. We were ready for a second campaign, and its first shock would have made the Kremlin shake to its foundation. We delight in the recital of such facts. They give so much consis tency to what may be looked upon as the idle boastings of a vain-glorious race. We can join the rest of mankind in their admi ration of the Platonic school as the teachers of government and things as they might be ; but still we must side with the more sober critics of an tiquity, in their preference for those who have enabled us to skew, in the hour of need, what a commonwealth should be. Despite all our domestic feuds, Great Britain set a glorious example to all the nations upon earth. Her union and patriotism, her endurance, forbearance, and sacrifices, may be wholly ascribed to her love of humanity. We may even venture to attribute the fatal follies and weak ness of our diplomatic servants to this love of mercy. We dare not, in the face of Heaven, ascribe them to any other cause. Moral weakness is the parent of all political anomalies. But we would have the insincere, the heartless and vicious, beware how they tamper with the apparently un accountable developments of the force of a national virtue. The popular intellect, spirit, and determi nation of Great Britain are equal to any human emer gency. Our Whigs may have no faith in the policy of PITT. Our Conservatives may have departed from the precepts and examples of the fathers of their party—the Radicals may be too impulsive and pro gessive—the Chartists too impatient and trouble some—but they will find us united to a man, if it should be found necessary to take up arms again iu the cause of humanity and justice. Diplomacy may be capable of the crime of misleading. It may paint nations in false colours. Yet the current expres sion of public opinion in this country ought not to be despised by foreign rulers. We are bent on having our rights secured to us by a permanent peace. Others can go to war if they please, if they will not drag us into a partici pation in their bloody deeds. We, as a mercantile people, must have all that freedom which belongs to commerce. We must be allowed to enjoy all those immunities which belong to civilization. We care but little for the fiscal blunders, the economic hallucinations, the political mistakes, and civil and religious errors, and feuds of others, so long as they do not defeat the social progress and material happiness and prosperity of the great family of peoples, by whose good will we live, and in whose wealth and peace we prosper. Leave us wholly out of continental conferences and diplo matic plots—leave us our trade—our right of way ' on seas, and navigable rivers, and bloodshed may be the pastime of those who do not fear the arrival of a day of worldly retribution. The Russo-Turkish war ought to have taught France prudence. It has shown her the depth of our sincerity, the purity of our friendship, and the real magnitude of our power. If we had not experienced incalculable reverses, she could not have observed our Phcenix like character, our slow, lout certain, means of victory. Her rulers may be laughing in their sleeve, like children, at the " wit" and chicanery of diplomacy. They may scoff at those that stood by and saw us duped, still the Treaty of Peace to which they attached their signatures in the name of Great Britain, must be fulfilled in spirit and to the letter. Our commerce demands it, and trifling with the freedom we seek for our industry is play ing with the peace of the world. For such gambols we scarcely know a better schoolroom than the majestic saloon in which the International Congress held their sittings, in March last. The same curtains and secresy could be employed, and the entire farce might be re-enacted by the favourite stars in the late burlesque. Each dancer would probably be left to pay his own piper, and the divertissement would, no doubt, pass off with great eclat. We should have another six months' truce, and another attempt, on the part of French capitalists, to get 40,000,0001. of British gold, or its equivelent, into Russia. We should have breathing time allowed to the Czatt to make a railway from St. Petersburg to the mouth of the Danube !—to fortify the Isle of Serpents, a la Cronstadt and Sebastopol—to prepare for another invasion of the Principalities. Austria has much need of a second Conference to explain her motives for continuing the military occupation of all the fortresses on the banks of the Lower Danube, and wriggling out per_ mission to prolong her perfidious breach of public faith. But what France and Great Britain can want of such " talk" must be a profound puzzle to every sane nation. The Treaty of Paris is a part and parcel of the public law of Europe. Will not Russia and Austria obey it ? Do they declare that they will persist in treating it as :so much waste Paper ? If so, are we to fight them in a Paris salon de campagnie . 2 and to enforce our rights with ink which cannot bind a bear or an eagle for one hour ? Should this rampant folly be repeated, we trust that our Constitutional Peers and Commons will put 'their united veto on acts which can only have been " designed exclusively for the benefit of those who trample with wanton impudence on the laws which bind them to Christian moderation and political decency.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING. The demand for cotton continues steady. The Arabia's advices have not as yet effected the market one way or another, Prices to-day were the same as quoted on Friday. ,The sales reach 6,000 bales, of which speculators and exporters have taken 1,000, the market closing with steadiness, and holders supplying it but moderately. Upon the important question of stock and supply a corres pondent sends us the following, which is well worthy the best attention of all interested in the trade _ _ " As we are approaching the usual period of stock taking, a rather interesting one in the cotton trade, the actual count seldom being found to agree with the quantity said to be on hand in the printed weekly circulars, owing to the fact of much cotton being forwarded direct to spinners, and not reported or being deducted from the Liverpool) stock, which quantity is supposed by many well informed to reach 50,00 G bales this season. " My present object is to estimate from the last reported stock, the quantity likely to remain on hand at the end of the year; and in order to be as correct as possible, I will make an ample allowance for imports, assuming them to reach, weekly, 14,000 bales of all sorts (at present there is not a week's consumption at sea from the United States), and taking the requirements for consumption and export at the weekly average of the year, say 46,000 bales—(it can scarcely be less, as spinners would not like to run their stock quite bare, for fear of continued easterly winds in January retarding fresh sup plies) : Bales. 14th Nov, Stock of all kinds on hand 397,800 Bales. 21st " Deduct for consumption and export 46,000 Less allowance for import . .14,000 3'2,000 Stack 28th " Deduct as above. 365,800 32,000 Stock .. sth Dec.

Leaves on hand, Stock "Should the present stock be over-estimated, the supply will, for many months, be very much short of a proper one to meet the great wants of spinners, as at high prices the shipments from the United States until spring will scarcely exceed our weekly requirements." The dealings in Railway Stocks and Shares on the Liverpool Stock Exchange, to day, were not of an extensive character, and were confined for the most part to Lancashire and Yorkshire, London and North Western, and Midland Stocks. The market opened steadily, afterwards hardened, and closed firmly, but not at the best prices of the day. We note the following sales ;-Caleclonian, 2811. Great Western, 641. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 94. London and North 'Western, 103, 103, 21 Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln, 331, 1,-, 1. Midland Stock, 794, 4 ., a, -t o 9, North British, og.

The Money Market remains steady, without any apparent change in the rates of discount, which are still difficult of attainment. The amount of specie brought in by the steamer La Plata, from the West Indies, is stated at 1.56,3001, of which about one third consists of silver, and two-thirds of gold. The other imports of the precious metals reported last week comprise only 40,2001 by the Ericsson, from New York ; and 8,8001 by the Alhambra, from the Peninsula. The aggregate value of the week's arrivals is only about 205,0001. Amongst the imports of silver from the Continent we also notice 41 packages by the Baron Osy, 73 cases by the Ravensbourne, and 15 packages by the Telegraph—all three from Antwerp ; and 2 cases of silver coin by the Vesta, from Oporto. The Custom house statement of the exports of the precious metals direct to London during the week includes 18,274 ozs of gold, and 1,772 ozs of silver, representing a total value of about 51,0001. The gold was despatched chiefly to Hamburgh and Bel gium. The particulars are as follows, namely : Gold coin : to Hamburgh, 60 ozs ; to Boulogne, 230 ozs Gold bars: to Hamburgh, 2,084 ozs; to Belgium, 10.000 ozs. Silver coin :to Hamburgh, 800 ozs ;to Boulogne, 700 ozs. Silver bars :to Hamburgh, 272 ozs. The only other shipment officially reported con sists of 76,874/, nearly all in gold, by the Tyne for tho Brazils. The total ascertained shipments of the week are thus raised to about 128,300/. The private remittances to the Continent have also comprised the whole of the gold ex the Ericsson, together with the 208,0001 ex the Persia. This latter supply was included in our last weekly summary of imports, but did not come to hand until this week. The specie and bullion ex the steamer La Plata are expected to be in hand on Wednesday next. The gold will probably be sent to the Continent. The market for Public Securities was firmer to-day. The dealings for money were small, and those for time quite contracted. Prices of Consols opened A per cent higher than they closed on Saturday for money, the opening rate were 921, and afterwards 921 was quoted. The first price paid for transfer was 93, then sales were affected at 931, and the New Three per Cent 912-, . Bank Stock has been held at 215, and Exchequer Bills Is dis. to 2s prem. The last quotations were : Consols for money, 921 93; ditto for money, 93 93*. The London Railway Share Market to-day was generally quiet and steady. Great Northerns were a little flatter. Midland Stock is still in speculative demand. Prices generally are much the same as on Saturday. We subjoin sales as follows :—Caledonian, 561 57. Eastern Counties, 9. East Lancashire, 32. Edinbur g h, Perth, and Dundee. 34. Great Northern, 91, 1, 92. Do. A Stock, 791 79. Great Western, 65+. . Lancashire and Yorkshire, 93-1,- 94. London and North Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 34. Midland, 79, LK,I, A. North t.'.3taffords, llx 5• Dovers, 791 79. The dealings in Foreign and Colonial Produce in this market is not of an extensive character, but this is usual at this period of the year, and might be anticipated when the Money Market is so stringent, and commercial bills so difficult to discount, particularly if of longer date than thirty days. To-day our Sugar Market' was quiet, but no change took place in the price of any descrip• tion. Tea and Coffee are in sluggish demand, whilst the dealings in Rice are only to a moderate extent. The London markets for these articles are in much the same position as our own. The day's transactions in both markets will be found in their usual column. _ . . The general aspect of the grain trade is one of dullness, with declining prices. Little business has been transacted during the last few days in any of the leading country markets. The t ra d e throughout the continent is reported to b e i n a d e p re ssed state, and price generally have a down ward tendency. The accounts from America report the markets to be well supported, with rates in favour of the buyer. At Mark-lane, to-day, the s ales in wheat were restricted, and for some descriptions a decline of 2s to 8s per quarter Wad established. Barley also receded is Pe r quarter; and oats 6d to ls. The flour tra de was dull, all kinds being rather lower.Jobe, We are in receipt of later advices from St. a st New Brunswick, from which we learn that the of Exchange on London was 101 per cent premium ; timber freights to Liverpool, 30s ; other descriptions of merchandise, 100 s. We have inserted in another column a detailed statement of the timber clear ances for Liverpool during the fortnight ending November 1, from which it appears that the "11 folloW• ing quantities are now at sea en route to this 1 &c viz., 10,287,929 feet deals, ends , battens, &e:' 171,382 feet of boards, 30,393 feet of scant ling, 125,575 palings, 215 tons birch, 1,215 tons pine timber, 8,500 nickets, 235 spio' and 641 cords of lat.hwood.

We also observe Oa Liverpool house coal was selling at 303 per ch dron, and Scotch, 27s 6d. Our commercial advices from Paris inforin 11 , E that, notwithstanding the restrictions in d iscoun' ing commercial paper, it is with satisfaction thhele remark a decided return to activity in some ef t o f regular branches of trade. The retail dealers novelties are busy, and the manufact urers of fsta goods are beginning to experience a return of P",:;f chasers to their warehouses. Othe r branchesvo trade are rather dull. Some for ei g n orders h,s'at been received by the manufacturer s of Lyons, 'do, the failure of a large house at Neer York exp e cted pressed the silk trade a little, and is Itttoo to be followed by others. The woollen and s' n - g Ore manufacturers are active, but their opert.: 4 ' ° ll,igll restricted in consequence of the continue-` prices of the raw materials. In the spirit Inatome the tendency to rise has been checked , and ~,osi good qualities have been offered at lowa Pr the without finding purchasers. The progress (I. " trae wool sales at London has given firmness t°tilor French markets generally, which has been t r a - rors maintained by the accounts from GrerZ ao ad Altogether the present position of trade 10 r:itet is much more satisfactory than was expected' -00 the perturbations in the money markets. ,00 last return of the Bank of France, contributed to sustain the buoyancy of copra% o f and any fears of further stringency at the c 1 " s " the year are not entertained. t ° Notice is given that application will be re aci tio • parliament next session for acts incorporsooo respectively, the European and Indian . 1.1111° , 0 11 Telegraph Company, and the Atlantic Telegffoct also, rooe, Company. Supposing these projects to be es r n ` to r , out, they will constitute two of the greatest e"000 prises of modern times. The former is to cei ti Ebie the intermediate link in the chain of telegrar h ast co mmunication between London and India; 1.1- f the the latter company proposes to join the wires f / i r 'boi American telegraphs with those of Europe• wet would our forefathers have thought o f a Pf-;2/01 for enabling messages to be almost instantacefiod, transmitted from New Orleans to Nowfon,rope, thence under the Atlantic Ocean, across •r 4 A li i ; tc un ier the Indian Ocean, and so across Int',i 3 of Calcutta. Yet it is quite within the bonnl a fill possibility that within a few months this won achievement may be consumated. tra de The following is the official return of the diog of the port of Liverpool, for the week Saturday last : Entered Inwards.
