At the close of August a , i; - • - a- —ved in the orders for common Bars BANQUET TO THE RIGHT :HONOURABLE falling ott kwing observet, The demand for Staffordshire iron on the whole is highly satisfactory ; the district more healthy, and, as the orders qi continually coming in, are all for legitimate consump- J_ tion, the leading houses will no doubt be,enabled firmly to maintain fixed rates for the next quarter. The de mand for Native Hydrates and first-class All Mine Brands, improved under the influences above referred to, at the last quarter days ; and for these sorts the demand has kept up, and prices well maintained during the whole of the closing quarter. Several large contracts have been made during the last - week for these sorts ; and although the market for Pig Iron is a shade easier, Iron of this quality is likely to fetch late prices at the ensuing quarter days. On the other hand, Pig Iron of inferior qualities will be sold at slightly reduced rates, the demand of late having run upon the best Native Makes of Pigs. Shropshire and Forest of Dean Pi g s are still in favour with the manufacturers ; but there is-- a marked falling off in the importation of most other Foreign Brands during the last two months, and this falling off applies especially to the Welsh and Pottery makes. The quarterly meeting of the tin plate manufacturers for the Welsh, Staffordshire, and other districts, took place at the King's Head Hotel, Gloucester, on Tuesday last. The numbers present were about an average of former meetings, Phillip Woodruff, Esq., in the chair. A resolution was passed unanimously, adhering to the prices which have ruled during the last quarter for tin Plates, although it' was acimitted . the demand was 1- AN Q U quid, and tin, plates are being sold quite is. per box under the list price.

The country generally was quiet, and trade was upon the whole good. Some iron-works have been commenced in the interior, which were very promising. We have Australian news to the middle of Au gust ; but it is not of much public importance. A steamer trading between Adelaide and Mel bourne had been lost, and great suffering had ensued among the crew and passengers left upon the wreck, most of whom died from exposure, or were washed overboard ; alfogether, more than fifty persons perished in the wreck. Several important documents have just been issued relating to central Italy,—one of them, an address from the Romagnese to the principal go vernments of Europe, in explanation of the recent decree of annexation to Piedmont ; another, a me morandum of the Sardinian Minister on Italian affairs. A third is an appeal from Count Aresani, to his countrymen in England, for their contribu tions towards the purchase of, it is- stated, " a million of muskets for Garibaldi's forces !" The London builders' dispute has, within the last few days, assumed a better aspect. Several firms •of importance have opened their shops without requiring subscription to the, obnoxious "Declaration." There are also other signs of a better understanding. The news from America by the Persia, which arrived here on Saturday morning, is not without political importance. In the first place, with respect to the San Juan affair, although it is now pretended that the dispute is one for diplomacy, and can be easily settled between the two Governments; "yet," says the New York journalist, " our Government will not give up the Island, which is clearly ours, and should by 01l means remain in our possession." With such a claim as this, so pertinaciously put forth, we do not see how the question can be so "easily settled ;" since there is no doubt, we believe, that the island in question "is clearly ours—not the Americans'." As a set-off against this news, however, there is intelligence that the matter in dispute respecting Central American affairs, is „now likely to be brought to a satisfactory ter mination. Among domestic matters, there is an account that a Dr. Graham, who about four years ago assassinated Colonel Loring, with whom he had picked a quarrel at the St. Nicholas Hotel in New York, and for which he suffered but a brief imprisonment, has been shot •at New Orleans in a personal rencontre arising out of a political dispute. We learn from Canada, by this late arrival from the United States, that the Governor-General , Sir Edmund Head, has lost his only son, a fine masters he eluded in a very short time. The quarterly meeting of the ironmasters, and iron mine proprietors, for the North Staffordshire district, took place at the Railway Hotel, Stoke-on-Trent, yesterday (Friday) ; as usual, Rohert Heath, Esq., took the chair. The decision of the meet ing was to confirm present prices, entirely acquiescing in the resolution of the South Staffordshire, preliminary meeting, to continue late priees for iron. It came out at the meetin g that • the firm with which the chairman is connected, had obtained a contract for 800 tons of plates for_ India, we_.believe for the balm Bridge. It was remarked that,the quantity of, pottery mine seat to' South - Staffordshire had considerably *diminished during the last two months. A long conversation took place respecting a _circular recently addressed by the government to the Inspectors of Mines, and the general opinion appeared to be that the Government ought to consult with the proprietors of mines previously to - adopting stringentregulations. Copper.-1,165 tons of Ore were sold at the ticketing on Thursday last, at an advance of £2 per ton in the standard. The demand for the metal has improved considerably during the week, and more business has been done. The market is decidedly more healthy ; and in face of the present aspect of the standard, Smelters are very firm at fixed rates.— Tin : One or two large transactions have taken place in Stratis, at prices the turn of the market in favour of buyers. Banca is sickly, and to be had fully £1 per ton lower ; English sorts without change in price— demand but, moderate.—Spelter : 600 tons have changed hands this week at easier rates : say £l9 15S. to £2O per ton. Small plates fetch a little more money. These prices are below the cost of importation at the present time, having in view the price now ruling in Hamburgh. —Lead : Market languid ; prices drooping ; little doing.. —Tin Plates sickly; I.C.

They intend, we believe, to oppose every Conservative candidate. We hope, therefore, that our friends will not be found wanting courage and 'energy ; and will not rest satisfied with resistance, onl3-, or fail to present themselves as candidates for municipal honours in Radical ward§, so that no Liberal shall be allowed to walk over-the course, or be left without having, at any rate, to encounter a hard race, even if he should pass the winning- post first. Many new candidates have issued their pretensions to the electors. The Radical party have never been remarkable for diffidence, or political humility, or any scantiness in the catalogue of grievances they are prepared to remedy. They have an abundant share of what is called, perhaps not in the most classical, yet in pretty forcible phraseology, " bounce try to bolster up their boasted claims to popular favour, by decrying their opponents, representing them as the oppressors, plunderers, and enemies of the interests of the community at-large, and pre tentiously appropriating to themselves the purest motives of action, as the champions, guardians, and real protectors of the civil and religious liberties of the people. Such assumptions of merit we are not prepared to accord them, because they give no proofs of possessing it. On the contrary, the Radicals, as a party, try to set every one by the ears,—interest against interest, and class against class. They do this from that disaffection which they are ever so restlessly busy in rousing,—from which they make political capital,—and this to subserve, not any beneficial improvement of the people whom they excite, but their own selfish and personal ends—their own individual or party advancement. Doubtless they are very impatient, after so long an exclusion from municipal power, to get into their own hands the management, — should we rather not say mismanagement ? our local affairs. The control which the Conser- vative majority has exercised over them has been a great advantage to this town ; since, had they had all their own way, headed by certain dema gogues . we could name, it is very doubtful whether the good old town of Liverpool would have had any of its time-honoured customs and institutions remaining,—at any rate in such a degree as to be recognizable. The restraint which has hitherto been so wholesomely and wisely put upon them, by the electors, in the various districts of the town, we trust will not be impaired by any supineness or indifference. We have reason to believe that no dodge will be omitted by te id supplyea of the artful Radical candidates, that can in any way obtain their pa rt y p recedence in November whichoue e may h them with the capability of electing, in the places of thenext, s eight as t t oh aldermen, l e dl get ru a md ee m snt a! t o ao r majority phalanx tde denounce n o f thorough going This advanced party are al wa y s , i n profession, MI the which can interfere with our placid 0 11 of possessions and privileges which it 011 at and reviles. 0 . ill" But it is a wholly different u pon strong hand of the outer w3rld is lain .., e l citadel.
