vember next, at' twelve o'clock, at the Town-hall, Preston, to receive the report of the central committee, and. to take such further steps as may be necessary. In compliance, with these resolutions, a meeting of the deputy lieutenants of the Kirkdale sub division of this county was held on Saturday last, at the office of Mr. J. B. LLOYD, clerk to the deputy lieutenants of this division, HENRY LAWRENCE, Esq., senior lieutenant 0r the sub division in the chair, when JOHN ABRAHAM TINNE, Esq., was uhosen the deputylieutenant to represent this sub-division at the Central Corn- Mittee. The meaning and bearing of these pre liminary steps will be best understood by looking little more closely into the sections of the act. The Lieutenant of the county having reported the result of the meetings abeve referred to, and her Majesty having ascertained and fixed the full number or quota of militiathen which each sub-division shall be bound to furnish, it is the duty of the Secretary-at-War, some time within the present year, to determine such pro portion of these quotas as may be required to be raised by ballot, and to do the same in so far as necessary for the ensuing year, before September next, and so forth annually, for the maintenance of the strength of the Militia force. All pro ceedings for the purpose of an actual ballot are, however, suspended until the Ist of October next. At the same time, it is especially enacted that it shall be lawful for her Majesty, .by ari order. in. Council, to direct that any pro ceedings shall be had at any time before that Period for proceeding to ballot and enrol men to fill up vacancies in the proper strength of the as her Majesty shall deem expedient. In a word, her Majesty in Council is empowered to put the whole law in force for telling out the Militia at any moment. In the meantime, as we have seen, the preliminary steps for the alteration of the subdivisions and for ascertaining and fixing their several quotas are being authoritatively pro- heeded with; and it is quite evident that the Goveenment has in contemplation the propriety tq' speedily following up these steps by others of a more decisive character. In the event of the ballot being resorted to, it appears from a printed memorandum, issued this month from the Lancashire Lieutenancy office, Preston, that the following will be the course of Proceeding in reference to some of the principal provisions comprised in the new act : A subdivisional meeting will be held on the first Wed nesday in October in each year, (at which, as well as at ether subdivisional meetings, two deputy lieutenants Will form a quorum,) when the several overseers within th e subdivision will produce and verify upon oath lists of all persons liable to serve in the militia within their respective townships, such lists having been posted on the church and chapel doors on the preceding Sunday. The deputy lieutenants will then amend the lists by the addition of names improperly omitted, and the erasure of others improperly inserted, whether such errors may be within their own knowledge, or brought before them by the overseers, or otherwise, and the lists so corrected will together form the ballot lists of the subdivision. At this first meeting, also, the Deputy Lieutenants Will fix the quota of militiamen for each township ; in doing which they will give credit for the men then Serving in the county militia, who, at the time of being carolled, were resident in such township, the requisite information to enable them to do this having been pre viously given to the subdivision clerk. The Deputy Lieutenants will then, at the first meet ing, appoint another meeting to . be held not later than seven days thereafter, for the ballot, public notice Whereof will be given by the overseers, and at such second meeting the Deputy Lieutenants will choose by ballot for each township li s t twice the number of men required to serve for such township, and the names of th e men chosen will be entered in a book and numbered. (A slight deviation from this course will be necessary in case of a township furnishing volunteers to avoid a ballot.) The Deputy Lieutenants will then, i. e., at their second meeting, appoint a third meeting, to be held Within seven days; and the clerk will forthwith send notice by post to each balloted man, summoning him to attend such meeting, the overseers also affixing to the church and chapel doors lists of the men chosen, and thereby requiring them to attend. At the third meeting claims to exemption will be heard and decided, and the number of men required for each township will then be taken from the township list in the order in which they stand, and having been examined, shall (if qualified) be sworn and enrolled until the full quota of such township shall have been Made up. As, however, it may be found impracticable, in the larger subdivisions, to transact all this business in one day, it is suggested that in any such case the subdivision may be divided into townships, or in any other way that may' be found convenient, and intimation given to each man (by endorsement on his notice) of the par ticular day for hearing claims of the persons included in that portion of the list containing his name, and the Meeting will be adjourned from time to time to those days.. The swearing in and enrolment of the men or their substitutes (if any such shall be provided pursuant to the 20th section), may take place, if mere convenient, at any adjournment of the third meeting. Provision is made by the 17th section for the case of the lists being exhausted before obtaining the requisite number, and by the following section for the supply of vacancies occurring by death, &c. The use of the ballot for a compulsory levy of olilitiamen is not likely to be a popular measure. It never has been so, and, perhaps, never will be. But a moment's reflection must satisfy every iolpartial mind that, under certain circumstances, it is a justifiable and unavoidable resort in defence of our common country. On the present occasion, however, we are less interested in advocating so ottacceptable a step on the part of the Govern 'ient, than in directing the attention of all liable to be affected by a forced enrolment of the Mili tia to their only certain way of escape from the chances of the ballot-box. The only alternative is that of becoming an effective volunteer. We l iaT effective, for too many 'volunteers are non effective. Those volunteers who have attended eight days in each four months, or a total of twenty-four days' drill and exercise in the Year, are alone entitled to be returned as effec tive& " A day's drill " may mean only an hour's drill—so that twenty-four hours' drill per annum, may be the whole tax upon a kan's time to render him - " effective ;" and it is enacted that all members of volunteer corps so returned are wholly exempt from Militia ballot, or from being called upon to serve in any other l evy. Here, then, is a powerful inducement to all young men to join the volunteer movement Without a moment's delay; and a strong stimulus to all enrolled volunteers to perfect themselves in drill—without which they are as liable to be ballotted for as if they had never taken the oath of allegiance. It is important for parents and guardians, andalsoforemployers and those occupy ing positions of influence, to consider how far it is their duty to urge upon the young, of all classes, the proprietY of at once making their choice between voluntarily joining the grand national s elf-defensive movement—for doing which there are now so many facilities and attractions—and running a great 'chance of, very soon, being '°repulsorily enrolled in the Militia. It ought e specially to .be kept in view that exactly in l'roportion to the success of the Volunteer move- went, and the number of effectives returned, there dill be so much the higher probability of the r emaining " outsiders " being drawn for the and so much the greater difficulty in finding substitutes. It is also to be remembered t hat when so considerable a number of the Population have voluntarily subjected themselves to the trouble and expense of being enrolled and 'killed effectively for the defence of the country, there will be but little hesitation in public ° Pinion as to the propriety of having recourse to t he Ballot to compel those who, dead to a sense of Patriotic duty, have, with short-sighted selfish -485, attempted to escape their proper share of s ervice to the country, its freedom, honour, and Elependence. To your rifles then ye sons of ti gland. The hour of danger is at hand—may " l e nearer than we have supposed. Let every yo ung man in England learn effectively to handle a rifle. To the drill, the parade, and the butts • le t all repair. In the piping times of peace, it is Dastirae--innocent, honourable, and invigorat 4g. In time of danger it will be our greatest str onghold, our surest road to victory over any invader—the rock and mainstay of our glorious ' oa titutions, and the triumphant vindication of °lO Character as a people—brave, loyal, and free. laW Lord Palmeston's speech at Leeds, on the bankr u pt cy has given r great satisfaction in the city. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE ITALY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDEN.) MILAN, Oct, The last telegrani we received from Naples, dated the 21st i ns t an t., i n re f erence t o the vote by Universal suffrage, is reported. in La, Lombardia, as follows :—II plebiscito precede stupendemente ; l'enthusiasmo a incredibile. Pallavieino nominato cittadino di Napoli, ando a votare fia ovazoni imponente della Guardia Nazionale e del popolo; stasera ci sara illuminazione," which, in English, is—The votation by universal . suffrage proceeds stupendiously ; the enthusiasm i s incredible. Pa lavicino is . created citizen of Naples ; he i s j us t gone to vote amid the imposing ovations of the National Guard and the people ; this evening there will be an illumination. The above telegram will give your readers some faint idea of the grandi loquent diction of the Italians, adorning almost every phrase they either write or speak with the most superlative expressions that they can find in their vocabulary. The day after any festa or political event, even the most insignificant, it is the fashion to report the same in the most exag gerated language, that one reading the account the next day in the papers is absolutely astonished at the cool impudence of the writer. This was admirably shewn when a battalion of the Tuscan National Guards arrived in Milan, the reception being a very milk and water affair, not more than three or four hundred people idly sautering up and down the Corso, and about forty pounds of " eights" burning in the windows of the houses from the Duomo to the Gate of the Porta Orien tale, a distance of about three-quarters of a mile, and whose light was dingily struggling with the evening breeze, almost making the night still darker. Along the same distance there was positively not more than a dozen cabs and three or four paltry private carriages waiting in expec tation of the arrival. This, however, was suffi cient for the writers in the journals of this city, who have, since the departure of the Austrians, sprung up like mushrooms. Obscure writers and seedy individuals who formerly occupied cobwebbed garrets have now descended, into superbly-furnished first floors, and every day strut up and down the Corso with that haughty pride and pomposity which distinguish mush rooms of this class when cased in fine clothes. So unbridled is the mania with these speculators of the political circumstances of the times, and so anxious that no chance of gain should be thrown away, that scarcely hod Garibaldi entered Naples, when off started two or three of the editors and principal writers to establish corresponding or similar journals in that city. The greater number of these writers were formerly the most devoted partisans of the Austrians, and whose pens were entirely devoted to the service of that govern ment, and among which stand pre-eminently the Gazette of Milan, Unione, and Pungolo. These papers are now vieing with each other in order to prove their attachment to the present government, by indulging in the vilest; most vulgar, and often most indecent language, against their former patrons, the Austrians and Bourbons. These are the class of men who write against the Paris correspondent of the Times for exposing the deceptive policy of Cavour and Louis Napoleon. The above explanation will clearly show how much it is to the interest of these journals to deceive the people and k ee p up the present state of excitement. But to return to my former question. The next morning the milk and water reception of the Tuscans, as I have above stated, was reported in these journals as follows :—" Last evening, a battalion of the Tuscan National Guard arrived in our city, and were received at the railway station by the Milan National Guard , preceded by a brilliant staff (there were four officers on horseback—not a soul more) and their magnificent band. The immense multitude (at the outside four hundred) of citizens of every class, and splendid equipages filled with the smiling faces of the beauty and fashion of our city, choked up the Corso in such a manner as rendered almost impassible the passage 'of our noble and genteel Tuscan brethren to their barracks. The hearty thunders of cheers from this imposing multitude was beyond all description, and must have awakened in the bosom of all the deepest feelings of emotion. The stupendo effetto (the stupendous effect) of the illumination which brilliantly shone .from every window along the entire line of the Corso with the tricoloured flag gaily spreading its glorious colours, gave to the whole scene such a charming effect, as to render impossible, even for the most fervid imagination, to realize any idea of the memorable scene of last evening."—What would George Robins or Barnum say to this style of description ? Would it not put to the blush their most eloquent, romantic, or poetical effirts ? When I read this account the following morning in. La Gazetta di Milano, I said to an English friend who was with me during the entry of the Tus cans, and who laughed most heartily at this specimen of cool unblushing exaggeration ; if ever you wanted a proof of the warm imagination of the ItalianS, and their power of invention, here you have it to your heart's content; _but this is only a poor illustration of what the Italians can do. The above account has been reported in other papers, and generally with additional orna ments of the most flowery and poetical rhetoric. The same flies over the whole length and breadth of the Peninsula, each reader delighted with the splendid picture that is brought before his ima gination. This again is condensed into short paragraphs which appear in the French and English journals, that many of the readers are induced to form the most absurd notions of the Italians, and the different scenes that have been enacted in Italy for the last eighteen months. This exaggerated style is not confined to news paper writers ; it is the natural phraseology of the people of every class. If you make the ac quaintance of an Italian at any of the alberghi or cafes, and he meets you the next morning, the odds are ten to one he addresses you as earissimo amico ! stimatissimo SignorC! or, - - - - . - mio carissimo ed buordssinzo gzovane amico (most dear friend! most esteemed sir! most dear and good young friend!) All this is not so bad after five minutes' acquaintance. If he addresses you by letter you /hay be certain to have the envelope adorned with " Illustrissimo Signore ! Onoratissomo Signore !" or " Egregio e Distintissimo Signore !" and often, "Milord !" To a lady, " Gentillissima Signora! Mabilissima Signora!" &c. Whenever these compliments come too thick I invariably button up my pockets or seriously run over in my mind the circum stances of my correspondent before allowing my self to be ensnared into too close an intimacy, . - fearing the next lette r to b e gin with " Carissimo amico,—Conscendo l'estrema bonta dell anima vostro mi prendo •la liberta," &c.; "Dearest friend,—Knowing the goodness of your heart I take the liberty," &c. The above mode of address is common even among the people them selves ; and it is by no means unusual to see in a public cafe an Italian at his breakfast with knife and fork in the most delightful action flourishing over a beefsteak, veal cutlet, or quietly picking the bone of a fowl, suddenly throw down those implements upon the plate with .a loud crash, the bone of the fowl sent spinning upon the always black and greasy floor of the café, dart from his chair like a• shot from a cannon, embrace and kiss both cheeks of his friend who has just entered (and whom he has not seen for some time), cover him with ten thousand compliments in one breath, then as rapidly make a hop, step, and a jump to his seat and go on with his break fast without scarcely taking any fuather notice of his " carissimo amico" no more than if he was a log of wood. Even the waiters at the alberghi have the same seducing mode of speech. When a customer• asks a waiter, " What have you for dinner to-clay ?"he is almost certain to reply, " Abbiano un grand buon brodo ; mauzo buonissimo; vitello eccellentissimo •, un polio stu pendo ; cervo superb° ; verdnra d'ogni qualita buonissimo, e per it vino (kissing the tips of his fingers, which in Italian means incomparable) non si parla ;" which translated is, "We have an exquisite soup (but this is weak in comparison to the Italian expression gran buon brodo ') ; very good beef; most excellent veal; a stupendous fowl ; superb venison ; vegetables of every kind. very good ; and as for the wine (which is often as sour as vinegar) it is useless to speak." These strong characteristics of the Italian even show themselves when he studies the English or any other language,—because instead of beginning like all other Christians with the alphabet for the different sounds of the vowels and conso nants, definite and indefinite articles, the genders and number of the nouns, genitive case, and then the adjectives, •he is certain to nearly drive his poor professore mad by persisting in simply throwing his eye over the alphabet, and then with a splendid spring make a. hop, step, jump, and then um salto mortale among all the super lative adjectives of the English language, from whence he begins his study, almost breaking the heart of his master by continually bringing for translation such words as the following :—adora tissinzo ; carissima ; dilethevolissima stella dell' anima lnia ; piacevelissimo momenti ; (ST., (s"c• Most adored ; most dear ; most delightful star of my soul ; most pleasing moments, 4 . c., e These few characteristics of Italian life will. not only be confirmed by many of your readers that have travelled or resided in Italy, but prepare those for many amusing scenes and anecdotes, who intend to visit the bright and unclouded sky of this highly favoured land. To-day lam not serious enough to write politics, notwithstanding the importance of the present passing movements, and therefore send you the above, being a true picture of my own observations, free from all exaggeration. A telegram arrived here on Monday evening, announcing the reforms which the Emperor of Austria is about to introduce into different parts Of the empire. The journals, as I anticipated, are already writing the bitterest articles against the same, describing it as it a sham," " a deceit," "44 a sna re." This is but natural, as this step on the part of Austria is not very acceptable to the It is most fortu mf o o r n e t a s e l yo that h C a atv the on r party. Emperor delayed till now n P a ie te d . this step, otherwise neither the ?iedmontese nor Garibaldi would be at Naples ; nevertheless, it will not fail to produce its intended effect. Another telegram, just arrived, announces the entry of the Garibaldini into Capiia, hitt without details. It i§ gdssitile thdt no engagement took place, but that the Royalists retired to Gaeta. LATEST NEWS. (BY BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE ROYALISTS. NAPLES, Oct. 27. King Victor Emmanuel has arrived at Tetano. An engagement took place half way bet Ween Teano and Aessa, between the troops of the 4th Corps de Ar mee and the Neapolitan Royalists. After two hours' fighting the latter fell back by way of Sessa, upon Garigliano, leaving a great number of prisoners in the hands of the Piedmon tese. To-morrow the Court of Cassation will proclaim the result of voting on the question of annexation. TERMINATION OF THE WARSAW CONFERENCE. WARSAW, Oct. 26. It is stated that the Warsaw interview main tained to the last a purely personal character as regards both the Princes and.the Ministers. At the interview on Thursday last, no stipulation was made, no convention of any kind was con cluded, nor even was a protocol drawn up. The Emperor Alexander has conferred upon Count Rechberg the Grand Cordon of the Order of St. Andrew. The Emperor of Austria has presented to Prince Gortschakoff a snuff box richly set with diamonds. FRANCE.—GRAND REVIEW OF THE IMPERIAL GUARD. PARIS, Oct. 27. The Moniteur announces that on Tuesday the Emperor will review the Imperial Guard in the Bois de Boulogne, on which occasion there will be a sham bivouac and encampment. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY. PARIS, Oct. 27. The Moniteur promulgotem the oonvontion snp .plementary to the treaty of commerce between France and England, and which was concluded on the 12th October. The customs tariffs sub joined to the said convention will come into operation on the Ist November, 1860. I'HE EMPEROR NAPOLEON AND THE .HUNGARIAN LEADERS. Kossuth and General Klapka have had an .nterview with the Emperor Napoleon. AUGMENTATION OF THE FRENCH ARMY. It is confirmed that at the Council of Marshals, held the other day at St. Cloud, it was determined to create a fourth battalion in every regiment of the French army, to be called the Battalion of Reserve. THE FRENCH FUNDS. PARIS, Oct. 27, 3.25 p.m. The Bourse remains heavy, and exceedingly dull. Rentes closed at 68 80, or the same as yesterday. RECALL OF THE SPANISH AMBASSADOR FROM THE COURT OF TURIN. The Spanish Government, according to a tele gram in the French journals, has recalled its Ambassador from the court of Turin. THE NEW HUNGARIAN CONSTITUTION. One of the Vienna journals says that the Hun garian Diet will not be convoked for at least sik months. The Hungarians residing at Paris have agreed to protest, expressing want of confidence in the concessions just made, which are described as a desperate resource for staving off insurrection. ARMING OF THE GERMAN FEDERAL FORTRESSES. • FRANKFORT, Oct. 28. In yesterday's sitting of the Federal Diet the notice given by Sarklini of the blockade of Ancona was discussed. The assembly resolved on simply shelving their notice, declaring that they could not altogether agree with the policy of Sardinia, in Italy. The Diet resolved in the same sitting upon the expediency of • equipping the federal fortresses with rifled guns, and declared that it gratefully accepted the offer of Prussia in reference to this new kind of armament. AUSTRIA AN!) ITALY. A Vienna letter in the Coh;lliteGazette states that the Austrian army in Italy can easily be increased to 280,000 men, and that the new General-in-Chief and the Generals under his orders are to take possession of their command without delay. At Trieste, according to a despatch in the Ost Deutche Post, the Italian Party considers the grant of a new Constitution as a symptom of war. THE ROMAN STATES. The Perugia Gazette states that emigration from Viterbocontinues on so large a scale that even the clerical party are frightened at the magnitude of the demonstration. The emigrants have signed an address to the Emperor of the French, in which they state they have left their native town in order not to have the, grief of Witnessing the restoration of priestly misgovern. ment by the flag of Solferino. SWITZERLAND. BERNE, Oct. 28. The electigns for the new Federal Assembly commenced to-day. It is expected that the liberals will obtain a majority everywhere except in the Canton of Lausanne. The new assembly , will meet in the first week of December to pro ceed to the election of the members of the new Federal Government. The Marquis de Turgot is expected to return in a fortnight to his post as ambassador of France. FRANCE AND S WITZERLAND. BERNE, Oct. 28. The Federal Council, yesterday, replied in a verbal note to the demand of the French Government regarding the affair of the flag of Sion. Before the annexation of Savoy and' Nice to France, no vessels hoisting foreign colours ever landed on the Swiss shores, and maintained the theory ex pressed in a former despatch in reference to inter national offences. • THE PONTIFICAL PRISONERS. The official Gazette maintains that the Pontifical prisoners are treated with generosity and kind ness. FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. The Moniteur also says, the Opinion Nationale published a note which it was asserted had been communicated by the. Austrian Embassy at Paris to the correspondents of certain journals. We are enabled to give a denial to the source which has been attributed to this document, and to declare in the most formal manner that it rests upon premises entirely destitute of foundation. The Herald says that at a kind of revolutionary levee held by Prince Napoleon, on Thursday, and which was numerously attended by Hungarians, Poles, and Italians, His Imperial Highness is reported to have said that he was empowered to affirm that if Austria should attack Italy, France would immediately declare war against her. PROGRAMME OF TIIE NEW AUSTRIAN POLICY. , PARIS, O c t. 28 . According to instructions received from Count Rechberg, Prince Metternich has explained t p o l a M n a . t r i f o h n o uv en a containsthe f A n r u s p t r o i i a n n t s py. This ex- —l. he interior policy of every State being intimately connected with its exterior policy, Austria will fulfil with sincerity the reforms announced by the diploma of the 20th of October. 2. Notwithstanding the complications in Italy, Austria will maintain her line of defensive policy. The present armaments and concentrations of troops in Venetia have no other object than that of repelling any attack. 3. Austria considers that the assembling of a con gress would not bring about a practical solution of the Italian question, unless the Great Powers agree before hand on a common programme, of which, however, there is little likelihood. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PRINCE ALFRED'S PROGRESS. PLYMOUTH, Oct. 27th. The Athens, with the Cape mails, arrived this morning. She left Table Bay on the 22nd ult., St. Helena on the Ist, and Ascension on the sth inst. Prince Alfred's progress through the Eastern Province thd Free State, and Natal, was well arranged; everything passed off satisfactorily. The Prince everywhere met with an enthusiastic reception, which made a good impression on the natives. Moskesh came out with a great com pany to meet His Royal Highness. Sandilli, chief of the Gackas, and twelve councillors, came down with the Prince in the Euryalus to Cape Town. The inauguration of, the Breakwater, the Sailors' Home, and the Public Library, with the accompanying festivities, were all brilliant affairs. The Euryalus with the Prince left the Cape on the 19th ult., St. Helena the Ist., and Ascension on the 4th inst.; all well. She was to touch at Sierra Leone and the Cape de Verdes. Her Majesty's ships Forte and Wasp were in Table Bay. The Sidon left for Simon 's Bay on the 22nd ult. The Governor was going to Kaffratia and would proclaim it a separate depend enc y. A strong • feeling adverse to a responsible Government was evinced in cape Colony. The postal money order system had not been introduced, but it was much desired and expected. The South African Turf Club had petitioned the Queen for an annual Queen's Plate. • Business at the Cape was very inactive. Several failures had taken place. The money market Was very tight and getting worse. It Was said that if no remedy could be fAnd Commerce would be sadly crippled. The Colonial Finan'ce Itetqrng were satisfactory.

H. B. M. Consuls in Mexico, San Lucie, and Guanaguato had failed to obtain restittition the money from the General, who stated that he intended to refund it when he had taken Gul.da lagara, with the sales of the Church property. Business in Mexico is very dull. The roaas to the city is infested with robbers. . The West India ISlands are generally healthy.

THE DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1860. THE BOMBAY AND MEDITERRANEAN MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Indus, Captain Black, with the heavy portion of the above mails, has arrived. She brings -92 passengers, one package .of specie, value £lOO, and a cargo, including 1,414 . bales of raw silk, value £140,000. The Indus sailed from Alexandria on the 13th ; Malta, 16th ; and Gibraltar, 21st inst. • The Ellora, with ,outward mails of the 12th inst., arrived at Gibraltar on the 17th, and Iwo ceeded on the same day for Malta and Alexandria. Exchange on London, at Gibraltar, 504 to 501. Freights unaltered. AM ERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, OCt. 2G. The Hamburg and American Company's steam ship Saxonia, Captain Elhers, from New York on the 15th inst., has arrived off Cowes. She brings 169 passengers for England, Havre, and Ham burg, and 5104,000 in specie for France. On the l'ith inst. she spoke an American barque with loss of main and top-gallantmast, showing distinguished pendant No. 9,410. The revolution attempted by President Mora' in Costa Rica, had signally failed. The Govern ment forces under Blanco attacked Mora's posi tion near Punta Arenas, and carried it by over powering numbers. Mora and hifi generals escaped, but were subsequently taken prisoners and mercilessly shot. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales attended Trinity Church, on Sunday the 14th instant. Four bishops and thirty-five clergymen assisted at the service. A terrific - gale had passed over the Gulf of St. Lawrence, doing much damage. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Money was quoted a 6 To - 67 1 ; per cent. loans on call ; long paper ranged from 7 to 12,1 per cent. Foreign exchanges were active, good bills were offered at 108 for sterling, and sf. 20c. for France. The stock market was unsettled. The cotton market was active and firm, sales 6,000 to 7.000 bales ; middling Uplands 11c. to 1 Wheat active. Pork irregular; Sugar steady ; freights unaltered. New Orleans Cotton stiffer, but quotations unchanged ; sales 12,500 bales. Sterling exchange unaltered. BANK. FAILURE. The failure of Messrs. Robert Davies and Co., bankers, of Shoreditch , was an nounced y esterda y after noon. Rumours of their difficulties led to a run, which compelled them to close the doors. Their total liabilities are believed not to exceed £140,000. The liquidation, it is feared, will not exceed 10s. in the pound, the firm having sustained some large losses from advances on building speculations. The London and County Bank declined rendering assistance; the balance-sheet pre sented not being encouraging. That establishment will open a branch in the locality, and will make advances in the security of the dividends to which the , creditors of Messrs. Davies may appear entitled. Five hundred and sixty Irish, who had belonged to the Papal army, have been landed at Marseilles thi s week, and the steamer was to return to Genoa for the rest of the prisoners of that army. The Times' Vienna correspondent says that in high official circles it is believed a new convention has recently been concluded between France and Sardinia. The Paris correspondent of the Times says that French regiments are to consist of four battalions, as when the army was preparing for the war in Italy last year ; an d that, otherwise, preparations are going on on a very large scale, as if war was certain next spring. LIME-STREET WARD. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE DAILY TIMES. Stn,—With respect to one statement contained in a bill now on the walls in Lime-street Ward, allow see to say.--It is perfectly true that Mr. Johnson was dropp e d from the chairmanship of the Markets Committee ; but, with regard to the Watch Committee, the matter stands thus :—On the 23rd of October, 1858, the chair w as resigned by Mr. Brancker. Mr. Johnson being then, as he still is, the deputy chairman. in tho ngual order of procedure, under such circumstances, the deputy chair man is raised to the chair ; but in this case, it appears, the committee had reasons for acting otherwise ; for, on the 13th of November, Mr. Clint was elected to th e chair, and Mr. Johnson was left deputy as before. o n the first of December following, this rebuff to Mr. John son was confirmed by the Council. Permit me, also, to say that the statement made by Mr. Johnson's canvassers, that Mr. • Heyworth is th e " nominee " of Mr. Jeffery is a wicked fabrication, with out a particle of truth. Upon this assertion I stake my character, and challenge proof to the contrary. It is due no less to Mr. Jeffery than to Mr. Heyworth that it be known that Mr. Jeffery was not even aware of the choice the committee had made, until Mr. Hey worth' bad consented to stand. Thanking you for inserting this letter. I am, sir, yours obliged. S. B. JACKSON. 15, Moss-street, Oct. 27, 1860. DETAINING A VOLUNTEER'S UNIFORIK —At th e County Magistrates' Court, on Saturday last, Thomas Benson, lodging-house keeper, was summoned for having detained an u n if orm, valued at £3, of one of his rod . gers, who is a me m b er o f t h e 9th L. A. V. Captain Mainger appeared as prosecutor. It appeared that the volunteer owed his landlord a certain amount Of money, on account of which the clothing was detained. The bench fined defendant £lO and costs, adjourning the case, however, until Monday, in order to ascertain whether the penalty could be mitigated. LIST OP CABIN PASSENGERS PER S.S.

" UrAp.estionably the safest Guide to health." LORD STANLEY AT Whiiith4GlON:. .Ori, Saturday evening, the Mechanics' Institute, at Warringtoli", held a grand soiree, Colonel Wilson Patten in the chair. Lord t'tartleY was amongst the invited guests, and therefore great interest ditaebed to* the pro ceedings. The meeting was held at the MusicArall, and the speech of the evening was - that of Lord Stanley, in proposing success to Mechanics' Institutions. His lord ship, who was received in the most enthusiastic manner, spolte.to the following; effect : Lard Stitiatn - x said, after a few prefatory remarks, that his friend Colonel Patten had asked him to propose a toast, and it was one iv"hal he hoped they would con sider as not unsuited to the occasion which had brought them together in that room. The object of the meeting, as' they were aware, was the extension and futanvereent of the Warrington Mechanics' Institute. It is with that view (said his lordship) that the present meeting is heid, and you naturally expect me to say something as to the :position and prospects of the educational cause in Eng land, and especially in these districts. (Applause.) 'Now, in undertaking that duty, I am aware that I' have 'difficulties to encounter, and, as it is best to speak frankly, ,say what they are. (Hear. hear.) The first is, that by the nature of the case, a speech on education is seldom very attractive, either, to hear or read : that is due, in fact, to the importance of the subject. Everybody knows some thing about it--everybody has heard or read as much as they wished—many, especially members of parliament, have had to hear more than they Wislied=and the con= sequence is that, when they open the paper,- and ; see a column •headed " Lbrd or Mr. So-and-so on the subject of education," nine out of ten turn the .sheet over, and probably remark that the editor is badly oft for news. (Laughter.) And secondly, not questions of teach ing alone, brit all questions of home administration, and home concerns occupy at this moment a very sub ordinate place in our thoughts. There are momentous European problems of which the next year or t*et will see the soliition, and it is only human nature that we should feel more Coridern iii speculating whether Italy will be united, whether the Turkish empire will hold together, whether oar genera:deli is to witness a repetition of the desolating wars of half a cetitifiy ago, than we do about the humle and homely affairs of our own county and parish. Both these things must be so— I complain of neither. It is well that the topics, which to men really zealous for the common good offer the deepest interest, should not lend themselves most easily to the convenience of those who only want to make out of them political capital. It is well also for our ppv`ter and influence abroad, well for safety at home, whatever other reforms may suffer for the Moment, that the public; which as a rule Can drily dedilpy itself in in earnest with One subject at a tithe, slibuld haVe taken up the pressing question Of military preparation and defence with a unity and determination of purpose such as only the older men among us can recollect. Perhaps, also, the educational cause does not really lose by occu pying a less prominent place in man's thoughts than it held a few years back. We can judge more calmly on many points formerly involved in controversy, and we get a little at least of that practical experience,—that inestimable teaching of facts,—which is worth all the speculation that was ever spoken out of subtle brains. (Applause). One or two conclusions appear to be universally come to. The first is, that under whatever system we establish primary schools—l mean the ordinary village schools of the country—‘the parish school of the town,—whether they are set on foot by clergy ; or landowners, or ratepayers, whether helped by Govern ment or left to themselves, very little will be learnt in those schools by the bulk of those who attend them, beyond the bare eleMents of instruction— the power to read, write, and Cypher. That, in my' mind, is of enormous importance—it naturally diminishes the consequence which some years ago used to be ascribed to the system on which these schools were established, provided only that the masters be competent, and the discipline well maintained, I care little for system; my point is to give power of reading, and give taste for reading. And in the second place, I think it is generally understood that what we have most to complain of is not want of attendance at schools, for generally speaking the proportion of the population which attend no school is inconsiderable ; but the irregularity of attendance of those who do go there, the early age at which they leave, and consequently their liability to lose, after a few years, even the limited amount of knowledge they have acquired. If it were possible to compare the numbers that can read and write well at seventeen, with that of those who can do the same at thirty, the falling off would astonish even those most conversant with the subject. (Applause.) Now neither the irregular attendance, nor the early leaving, can be wholly prevented, for both arise out of a feeling honourable in itself, and with which we should be very cautious how we meddle: I mean the desire, only less universal in this country than in America, the desire of every lad to begin independent life as soon as possible. and nit tb be a burden on le : _sparents longer than he can help. (Appl aus e.), We complain sometimes of parents taking away their children : the children have quite as much to do with it as the parents. (Hear, hear.) They feel themselves men, or something like it, from the day they begin to get their own living. T suppose there is not a king or ,minister in' Europe, who feels prouder than does the working lad when he comes home with his week's wages. (Applause.) Well, but if that is so --if school life is necessarily short, necessarily inter rupted, and if at the same time there is a real wish for instruction (which there is) among part of the working class, we are led inevitably to one conclusion, that there must exist institutions—call them by which name you will—which shall stand to the ordinary town or country school in the same relation as the universities stand to the public schools of England. (Hear, hear.) Hitherto, the attempts to supply that want have been many, but they have met with varied and unequal success. In the larg.e towns they have done pretty well. If you look to. Manchester, Liverpool, or Leeds, you will find Mechanics' Institutions flourishing, and really answering the purpose for which they were set on foot. I do not think it is a fault that a class comes into them rather higher than that for which they were originally intended.. (Hear.) There is no harm in a mixture of classes—rather the contrary—so that it takes place naturally and without ostentation; and it is a good thing that,.while the son of the mechanic is learning, the son of the tradesman should not be idling. :(Hear, hear, and applause.) But in general, though supplying a great want, and accomplishing much good, they have fallen sho r t o f w h at was expec t e d an d d es i re d b y t h e i r f oun ders. The p u bli c h a d no t, a nd could not h ave , an y adequate guarantee for the value of the teaching given in the evening classes. Efforts are being made to improve them in that respect' by various means—chiefly by the combination of various institutions into one society; so that competent teachers may be employed, going from place to place, organising and directing local efforts; and competition may be established for prizes and certificates Sufficiently large to ensure the competition being real That is being tried in East Lancashire and Yorkshire, and hitherto with marked success ; and at Manchester also the principle of association is acted on, though with some difference in details. Another step in advance is, the establishment of local examinations, such as those of the Society of Arts, by which young men who have made more than ordinary progress, will be marked out to the notice of employers, and enabled to feel that some tan gible practical good will come out of the trouble they have taken. That is most practical—it gives a stimulus to study, it creates an object, and it shows parents if in clined to do ill, that there may really be use in learning.. I am not going to waste your time and my own by a disputation on the pleasures and advantages of know ledge ; t h at i s a top i c l ong ago worn threa db ar e ; but one observation I may offer on that head. It is, not founded on theory, but on such practical experience as chance has thrown in my way. I' have acted for more than four years as chairman of the Kirkdale Quarter Sessions. In that capacity I have tried several hundreds of cases, of that kind which usually conic before the inferior tribunals, and nothing has struck me more forcibly than the stupidity (I can us e no other word)—the utter want of intellig ence and com mon sense—inability to comprehend consequences whi ch characterise the vast majority of those who are brought up for offences against the law. It is quite the exception to find a criminal whose understanding Comes up to the average of his class, and it is equally the exception to find one who is not given to intempe rate habits. Surely, from that fact, it is a reasonable inference, that whatever you do to diminish the tempta tions t o drunkenness—and idle habits lead more than anything else to drunken habits—and whatever you do to increase the intelligence of men, is so much done towards the diminution of at least the more gross and vulgar forms of crime—which, bear in mind, axe nume rically nine-tenths of the whole. (Hear, hear, and applause.) It is not the mere power of reading and writing that will do this; but it is a thoughtful habit of mind, a wider range of interests and ideas, a habit of looking to the future as well as to the present—it is the having some other pleasure than that of physical excite ment, and some other matter of thought besides the daily routine of work, and food, and sleep. Hundreds have said this before, and will again : but it is truth ; and, till acted on, truth cannot be told too often. I turn to local affairs ; and it only remains to congratulate You on the great exertions which you have made, and aro making . , lit the cause of cduocalon, horo in this town of Warrington. You have a museum and free library, not as extensive as they will be, but well supported, I am told, by all classes, and aided by a rate. You have schools abundantly sufficient, a nd amply maintained : you have a school of art, attended by . one hundred and seventy members, which, if I may judge by sam ples seen, has produced pupils who will do honour to the town : and you have two institutions working not in hostility, not in rivalry, but in friendly co.: operation, one of which is that whose extension we are now attempting. Of the Mechanics Institution I un derstand the state is briefly this. It has met with various changes of fortune : latterly, its subscribers fell off, and it almost ceased to be used by working men. You felt that that was not a satisfactory state of things ; you determined that it should not continue ; and you decided on a measure which has at least the merit of courage. You are now admitting members at a rate of subscription which is nothing more than nominal, and which will not cover the working expenses of the institution. As a temporary . resource, I don't doubt you are right : it is proved, indeed, by the result ; for 900 members have been added, in the last twelve months, to 400 who were on the books before ; and there is a prospect of the number being increased from 1,300 to between 2,000 and 3,000. What is the first point : create an interest in the thing; show that it is alive and doing good ; and you may appeal confidently for support afterwards. But when matters settle down a little, and you have placed the Institution on a permanently en larged footing, I hope that some means will be found to render it really self-supporting—and when I say self-supporting, I mean supported by those who use it, even if that involves some increase of payments. It is a . poor business if men, fully employed and w ,, il paid, are not able to keep up an institution establi lird for themselves without depending on what is, in fact, charity; and if I know anything of the spirit of working people in these towns, there is nothing they are more proud of than their honourable independence, and no feeling nearer their hearts than that of zeal for the honour of their class. I hope to hear, in a year or two, that the Working Men's Institution i s maintained,by its subscribers, and that it no longer stands in need of casual gifts, or of annual subsidies, to keep it from dying of wan t. (Loud applause.) (said his lordship) I must say inOne thing mo re praise of those w h o have had the management of the institution. They have been under great temptations ; but, considering the former position of the undertaking, they have not embarassed themselves by sacrificing the future to the present, and incurring debt. (Hear, hear.) T hese temptations they have altogether resisted ; and this mo ment, I am told, there is not a shilling of debt upon the institution. (Applause.) Just one w o rd more, gentle men, and then I have done. Whatever you do, or whatever you leave undone, in this matter, let me en ft'ede yet/ to keep this question Ol'education from be coSnin d 4trestion id the town. I have no reason to' suppose that here it has ever iteen ; et that it is likely to be so ; but I haVe for some fees taken an interest in these matters, and, in more than one WWII, ale, ill more thud one place, I have seen plans which held out &ell piosp'eet of success fail and break down, simply because the promoters of th em su ff ere d t h em to get m i xe d up with sdatte ptity dispute. (Hear; hear.) In this, as a free country, we Allan dlwAys haVe political . parties, and, certainly, the tendency of tile present day is rather to multiply than diminish the number' ef religious denonii nations. But, ignorance is no help to any patty or sect. (hear, hear.) It is merely the common danger and common enemy; and, if we understand alike what is our interest and our duty, we shall all, whether Conser vatives or. Liberals, whether supporters of the establish ment or any other denomination, we shall all unite aroainst it With the same spirit and the same zeal as we si4ould unite, if invasion were at the door.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION. As the Ist of November approaches, the greater fhe interest manifested in those wards in whieh opposition has been raised to the re-election of the retiring councillors. At present—and this is the last day any opposition can be raised—preparations have only been •rtiade in one ward fat a fight—Lime-street; and from the spirit evinced by each party in that ward, the contest is likely to be most severe, In that ward the extreme Radiea!s are using every elation to secure the success of their Candidate . " Mr. G. P. Heyworth , w ho has been biO ug ht f orwar d by a section of that party to oust Mr. James Johnson, who has represented the ward fel. the last twelve years. The latter gentleman has the Support of both the Conservative and Liberal parties the ward. In answer to a rather personal arid sot/thins placards issued by Mr. Hey worth's friends Mr. johiisces committee has re plied, and, in allusion to the atidek made upon that gentlenian, in reference to the d e faleatiene Luya, the late superintendent of the Markets, states- 2 ' It is untrue that Mr, Johnson had the poWet to arrest the defaulter Luya ; having applied to the town-clerk for his advice, and he decided that Rit, Johnson hsd not the power to arrest, but to suspend hint until a special meeting of the Council could be called for that purpote l which was accordingly done on the following morning. Notwithstanding the great opposition, and that some of the most influential of the Radical partrare making a personal canvass on behalf of Mr. Heyworth, the friends of Mr. Johnson are s most sanguine of that gentleman's sift:cc. oh the day of election, ho having always been folind a most efficient representative.—ln the other Wards' there will be no opposition ; Mr. Weir Anderson, in conseVelice of a disqualiaedtiott, being an assessor, having retired from fife 6oritest.

On Saturday afternoon, the pupils of the Collegiate Institution assembled at the school, preparatory to marching to the residence of Major Clay, Park Hill road. Out of 780 pupils, there were 360 boys in uni form, who were divided into six companies. The boys marched from the institute to the residence of Maior Clay, where they Were to be reviewed by Colonel Wil braham, C. 8., who, it will be remembered, was the commanding officer at the Knowsley Review. The' Cadets were accompanied for the first time by their own band, consisting . of 25 menibets, under the leadership of Mr. T. M. Jones. This band has only been in train ing for the last four weeks, and its performances were very creditable to Mr. Rungelirig, the instrUctor. The admission to the field in front of Major Clay's house was by ticket, but the number present was not So great as we anticipated. The appearance of the boys as they marched into the field was fully equal to the high antici pations that had been formed by those acquainted with the system of discipline practised at the institute. Among those present we noticed Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, Major Clay, Lieut.-Colonel Bousfield, Captain Chambres, of the Wallasey Rifles ; Rev. Mr. Howson, principal of the Institute ; and other gentlemen. Col. Wilbraham having reviewed the boys, they formed into a hollow square, of which Colonel Wilb ra h am , C o lonel Bousfield, and ther gentlemen formed the fourth side. Captain Cordeux, of the first company of the Collegiate Volunteers, then came forward for the purpose of pre senting to Colonel Bousfield a silver flask. In doing so, he delivered an address expressive of the estimation in which the gallant colonel is held by the pupils of the Collegiate. They looked upon him as one of their best supporters and friends, and thanked him for the kind manner in which he had allowed them to parado with his division. At the conclusion of the address the flask was presented, and Colonel Bousfield briefly returned thanks. He felt convinced that they would at some day be useful to the volunteer movement, and expressed a hope that they would not let volunteering at all inter fere with their duties at school.—Colonel Wilbraham, who was ve;y warmly received, also addressed a few words to the boys. He was very glad again to meet Col. Bousfield where he always met him—at the head of a company of volunteers and although Colonel Bousfield had a magnificent brigade of his own at the Knowsley Review, he (the speaker) thought it was almost as great a gratification to see this corps to-day. After complimenting tin boys on their appearance at Knowsley, he went on to say that he was more than ever confirmed in the opinion that rifle matches and the teaching of drill at school, when the bones are supple, were the two things most likely to secure permanency for the volunteer movement. He concluded by hoping that their drill practice would not interfere with their attention to the other duties of the school. The boys - then gave three cheers for each of the gentlemen that had addressed them, and shortly afterwards marched from the ground. The flask which was presented has been designed and executed by Mr. Mayer. Upon one side is the following inscription Presented to Lieu-' tenant-Colonel Bousfield, lstaL.R.V., by the cadet corps of the Liverpool Collegiate Institution, in grati tude for his kind and cordial encouragement of their school drill, and with the proud reflection that the origin of the volunteer movement of England is attri buted to one who was formerly a pupil in the same' institution." On the other side is inscribed,—" The subscriptions towards this small birthday gift were begun on the field at Knowsley, the invitations to which the contributors owed to Lieutenant-Colonel Bousfield's courtesy.

To rest in the far bright heaven-- Oh, It was vain to speak t o my darling,,, so far away from h ere ; For I knew she could not hear. I had a message to send her, So tender, and true, and sweet; I longed for an angel to bear it, And lay it down at her feet. placed it one summer evening On a little white cloud's breast; But it faded in golden splendour, And died in the crimson west. I gave it the lark, next morning, And I watched it soar and soar; But its pillions. grew faint and weary. And it fluttered to earth once more. To the heart of a rose I told it; And the perfume, sweet and rare, Growing faint on the blue bright ether, Was lost in the balmy air. I laid it upon a censer, And I saw the incense rise; But its clouds of rolling silver Could not reach the far blue skies. I cried in my passionate longing : " Has the earth no angel friend .Who will carry my love the m essage That my hoart dooirog to send? " Then I heard a strain of music, So mighty, so pure, so clear, That my.very sorrow was silent, And my heart stood still to hear. And I felt in my soul's deep yearning At last the sure answer stir— _ "The music will go up to heaven, And carry my thought to her." It rose in harmonious rushing Of mingled voices and strings, And I tenderly laid my message On the music's outspread wings. I heard it float farther and farther, In sound more perfect than speech; — Farther than sight c.,7.n follow, — Farther than soul can reach. And I know that at last my message Has passed through the golden gate ; . So my heart is no lonatT restless, And I am content to wait. Cornhill Magazine. A. A. P.

Herald.) • THE GRAND BA LL AT NEW YORK, MAGNIFICENT APPEARANCE OF THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE. AN ACCIDENT, WITHOUT SERIOUS RESULTS. WHO' THE PRINCE DANCED WITH, THE BALL-ROOM. This magnificent apartment comprises the parquette of the academy, and embraces the stage. It is, as arranged, 135 feet in length by by 68 feet in breadth. The end towards the stage is arranged in a semicircular form, while towards the other end are placed three snperb couches. THE PRINCE'S OWN ROOM. The Green-room was specially fitted up for the Prince. On entering the eye was struck by a magni ficent oil painting of the Queen, belonging to the St. George's Society, and which was specially lent for the occ'asion. At the bottom of this great triumph of art was the following legend : " Let mercy be . our boast, and shame our only fear." On the left of the painting was a beautiful engraving of the Queen, by Henry Graves & Co., and to the right the coronation of her Majesty. The group surrounding the throne, on which the Queen has just been seated, contains many good portraits, among whom the Iron Duke is conspicuous. Other beautiful engravings decorated the walls, the whole of which were by the same firm. Among other noticeable features in the decorations of this room were two very large and superb mirrors, some magnificent gold, silver, china, and glass ware, and a splendid bouquet on a centre table, fur nished by Mr, Buchanan. Another large bouquet, by the milt gentleman, was in a corner of the room. In fact, so highly perfumed was this room that it was a complete " Wilderness of sweets." From the centre of the room depended a magnificent chandelier of spermaceti candles, containing twenty lights. The carpetin g , like the general arrangements throughout, save the distinctions already mentioned, was of 'crimson cloth. THE ACADEMY FILLED. The Academy, at ten o'clock, was filled, and those who arrived later sank unregarded into the throng, like rain I drops into the ocean. The private boxes were full ; the tiers were occupied by those who preferred to overlook the brilliant assemblage which moved restlessly beneath. The Japanese hall was crowded ; but there the crowd was divided into sections by the various rooms, but here in one vast area was collected the elite of New York society. Beneath the thousands of gaslights the crowd surged backwards and forwards, shifting and changing like the figures in a kaleidoscope, or like the ocean rippling be neath gentle winds and bright sunshine. A throng, a crowd, mobile, vzriable, versatile, fickle, quick, changing. A sea of heads, but btsidts• a sea of colours, the light flashing back from the gayest and richest of dresses, from pearly white shoulders and brilliant complexions, from jewels iris-hued and rivalling in brightness the eyes which flashed above them. The fall dress black coats absorbed the superfluous light and softened the blaze of the thousand lamps. The rich military uni forms, ornamented with gold lace and epaulettes, relieved the uniformity of the gentlemen's toilettes. The throng seemed to diminish the size of the house, and yet, by a common, but singular paradox, aided one to appreciate its greatAtxtent. Filled, but not jammed ; crowded, but with plenty of room for all to move comfortably and without disturbance—for separate entrances were re served for egress and ingress—the Academy was ready for the arrilal of the Prince. THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE was greeted with load and uproarious applause. His Royal Highness entered by the private door on Four teenth-street, and the' people, who seemed to have heard that he was coming that way, gave him some very hearty and enthusiastic cheers. He arrived at about a quarter past ten o'clock, and was accompanied by several distinguished gentlemen of his own suite, and of the city of New York. The arrival was attended with no display whatever, and it could scarcely be said whether the royal guest or any other had come up. ENTRANCE OF THE PRINCE. A shouTeaside, followed - by repeated cheers, an nounced the arrival of the Prince, and almost instantly the royal party, dressed in full evening costume, entered the room by a side door. There was no cheering, but a simultaneous motion of the crowd evinced the anxiety of the company to see their distinguished guests. There was no rush forward. A few ladies stepped gracefully upon the chairs near them to overlook the throng, but the rest of the company retained their positions with well-bred composure, the spectators in the upper tiers rising, not from curiosity, but in honour of the Prince. The royal party remained standing before the sofas at the extremity of the stage, beneath the pavilion ; and as soon as they had taken their positions, the bands struek up the stately anthem, "God Save the Queen," following it by the more triumphant strains of "Hail Columbia.' There was no formal reception of the Prince. A WARNING AND A CRASH. While the royal party were observing the throng and the decorations of the room, a sudden rustle and move ment of the crowd backwards announced that some acci dent was about to happen, and in a moment after one of the flower vases upon the front tier fell with a great crash to the floor, scattering its roses upon the people standing by, but fortunately injuring no one. There vas a moment's confusion, and then the company, pru dently returning from the neighbourhood of the vases, remained silent, while the committee presented the Prince with an order of dancing. Scarcely had the Prince taken his card when another flower vase fell, and the moment afterwards a portion of the dancing floor gave way with ,a great crash, fortu nately injuring no one, however. As the crowd retired, frightened, to various parts of the floor, it gave way beneath them. - This was three times repeated, two per sons being precipitated to the stage beneath, but not being injured. The floor rather sank than fell, the props beneath it being insufficient to sustain the weight of the throng. The gentlemen of the committee gene rally, of the sub-committee of the house and decorations particularly, must divide the blame of this contretemps with the carpenters, who should have understood and completed their work much better. For some moments the greatest confusion ensued ; li many determined to leave, and a rush was made for the door, but the real nature of the accident being dis covered, the company resumed its coluposare. The promenade and the music diverted the attention of the company, who were kept off the dancing floor ac Much as possible ; the police instantly surrounded the opening with a rope, which they guarded so that no one should pass. A.s far as we could ascertain, those who left in the first fright and confusion either returned or stopped at the door ; and gradually recovering their good humour, the company seemed to remembr the proverb, wittily quoted by one of the' .fairest ladies present— " A bad beginning has a good ending," and that Shaksperean adage retorted by a rival wit and beauty— "All's well that ends well." And so passed the time during which the repairs were progressing, in conversation, promenading, and flirta tions, and patiently awaited the time when dancing should begin. Only the patience and good humour , of the company prevented this accident causing this grand ball, so anxiously expected,, and so splendidly prepared, from being a complete fiasco: • ' Half an hour at supper, and the Prince and party returns to the ball-room. Fully two hours elapse, how ever, before the repairs are . complete, and then the Prince, being introduced, leads upon the floor Mm'. G. Morgan, as his,partner for the first dance. The arrange ment of the quadrille was as follows :—The Prince and Mrs. Gov.- Morgan ; Mr. J. W. Gerard and Mrs. Howland ; Mr. W. Langdon and Mrs. J. J. Astor, jun. ; Mr. Shermerhorn and Mrs. Belmont. Mrs. Morgan's dress was of white reps silk, nearly covered by black Chantilly lace flounces. Headdress, with feathers and diamonds. Oinnments, pearl and diamonds. Mrs. J. $":- ASter ; ivore a white corded silk, trimmed ; ancien ppint d'Angleterre ; ornaments, diamonds. Mrs. Belmont's dress . was of rose-coloured tulle, trim with blossoms 'of sweet peas; ornaments, diamonds. The second dance—a waltz—is with Miss Mason. The third — Lancers—is with Mrs. Gould Hoyt, second daughter of General Scott, as the Prince's partner. Mrs. Hoyt is dresSed in pink silk, with a tull dress, trimmed with flowers of Honiton lace ; headdress, pink wreath. Mrs. G. T. Strong's dress is pink silk, trimmed with black Chantilly lace flounces; headdress, pink wreath. Vis-a-vis to the Prince is Miss Rose, of New Orleans, dressed in white and blue. Owing to the intense crowd around the royal quadrille party it is impossible to see and describe the dresses of his fair partners, and we, thcirefore, only give their names, as follows :—Miss Fish, of New York ; Miss Ellen Russell, - of New York; Miss Augusta Jay, Mrs. Belmont, Mrs. Edward Cooper, Mrs. Kernochan, Mrs. M. B. Field, Miss Van Buren, and Miss Butler. The dress of Miss Helen Russell was lame muslin, with a crown of flowers. Miss Field, daughter of D. b. Field, Esq., wore a dress of whine tulle, trimmed with blue flowers ; headdress and wreath • to match. Her vis-a-vis was Miss Elliot,. whose dress was of blue silk. Miss Belden danced in the same quadrille. Her dress was of white tulle, trimmed with rose di chene ruches, wreath of deep coloured roses and gold" stones around her head. THE LADIES' DRESSES. The Reporter says :--,"Of their dresses, it is almost impossible to g i ve a general idea, but they are distin guished by a splendour that can only be rivalled by the glories of fairy land. The first effect upon the senses is indeed so dazzling as to render it impossible to separate any distinct or individual effects. Flowers reposing in folds of fleecy lace, lace rising and falling in foam-like waves, jewels paling before the fire of bright eyes, or flashing back radiantly from velvet back grounds; gold and silver glistening in the .transparent tarlatan fabrics so thickly embroidered with the same precious substance that they look like cloth of gold ; silver brocade, fair and shining, looking kindly on the stiff and stately moire ; flowers, ribbons, jewels, fans, feathers, and the odour of ,a: thousand parterres, all mingling with the lights, the music, and the graceful moving throng." COMMERCIAL. • NEW YORK, 15th October.—Money easy, at "6 per cent ; exchange,-1081c, with fair disposition to bay. Stocks opened firmer, and a good demand was shown throughout the day. Pacific Mail 931, Erin 394-, Illinois 504, New York 911. Flour exhibited less activity ; good enquiry pre vailed at buoyant rates; sales to-day 185,000 brls. Wheat less freely offered throughout, and in demand at uniform prices. Corn in good request, at advancing rates. Barley active. Cotton in fair demand at dull prices; sale, 3,000 bales, at lle. Coffee and sugar unaltered. Provisions slightly dealt in, and unchanged. Freights some what less active, and less produce offered. NEW ORLEANS. — Cotton sales, 2,500; prices stiffer, but quotations unaltered. COTTON. (From TV. P. Irright 4 Co.'s Circular.) NEW Yoxc, Tuesday, Oct. 16, 1860. We have had an active warket in this city during the pa ,l;,week, chiefly on speculotion, caused by reports of injury by the late storm, bean' rains, and more rece n t cool weatialr in the South. Prima are fully maintained, and in some ewes the prices ore rather higher. The sales for the week have been 14,000 &Ales, closing firmly a t the annexed quotations. The deem :aces have been—for Liverpool, 2,369 bales ; Glasgow , 16.1; Havre, 2,940 ; Antwerp, 472 ; Hamburg, 150. Totai" 6,092. Transit cotton has been more sough.t after, and the sales have amounted to 8,000 hales. Tihe prices have been on the, basis of 101-c fer Low Midd.ling, Ilc for Middling, and 11-le for Strict Middling Otleans, with freights at 0. Mobile cotton in transit is slowCr of sale, at about to , Ze below these figures for similar grades. No sample of Upland cotton yet received. We lo,ek for an active business;in transit cotton if proper eare,is with samples. By telegraph for a week later we hear that moderate sales have been made at full in the Southern markets, and in some cases slightly higher, prices. The business would have been larger but that negotiations, except of the better class, are difficult : hence many buyers are reluctantly compelled to keep quiet. Quality does not improve very much with later re ceipts ; sand and dust is general; but the greatest defi ciency in this crop, so far, is the poor staple and light body of the cotton, evidently the effect of a too rapid forcing to maturity, and want of sufficient moisture. Good, heavy bodied, well stapled cotton is, and must continue to be, scarce, and worth more relatively this year than usual. LIST or PASSENGERS PER It. M. S. CANADA.— Sir E.

West, Esq., revised the South Lancashire Register for the Rochdale polling district. On reaching the objection list for Wuerdle and Wardle, Mr. Bremner called his Honour's attention to the fact that they had now a different objector for the Liberals. In the objections hitherto Mr. Brumfit had signed, and by a previous decision that gentleman's objections had been declared invalid. Now, however, the objections were signed by James Taylor, of 86, York-street, and he wished to ask Mr. Brumfit to prove the service of the objection. Mr. Brumfit remarked that he knew nothing about it. Mr. Bremner :He is represented being on the register for the parish of Bury. He is not so ; he is on the register for Heap township. His Honour having called in vain for James Taylor, said— If this is the way objections are to be carried on in the southern division of Lancashire, it is time that an end was put to it. Here is a large number of people brought here from their occupations and their duties, and the objections are so frivolous that the very person who makes them dare not come -forward to say a word in support of them. After some conversation, bin Honour decided to hear on oath those who had been 6 bjected to by Mr. Taylor, and consider by the next a ft en -noon about the costs, Mr. Johnson being requested to ge t the best possible proof of Taylor's writing. c 0m ,,,,T10N, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLE. —" I believe ,that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound •I prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas and Aniseed more value in cases of bron hill, Liverpool,l'itn,'l prove of chitis and incipient . cmsNm P ti °"' • than any other remedy ost irritating rough in a few minutes; extant.
