SAILORS' HOME, The annual meeting of this institution was held in the Board-room, at one o'clock, on Saturday, Mr. Crosbie presidi ng. The Chairman stated that the Home had been peculiarly prosperous during the past year, both in a Pecuniary point of view and in the appreciation which the seamen appeared to have of its advantages. The secretary, Mr. Hanmer, read the ANNUAL REPORT. " The lapse of another year reminds your committee of the duty of laying before the friends and supporter of the institution a report of their doings during tha period. " Considering the great commercial depression of the put year, the fact of a small increase in the number of boarders clearly proves that the sailor is more generally beginning to appreciate the efforts made during the last 14 . ye ars to ameliorate and b etter hi s con diti on ; th a t t h e light of philantrophy and Christian principle by which the promoters of such institutions are actuated is gradually but surely breaking. in upon him, dispelling his doubts and prejudi ces , an d disclosing to him his real friends and well-wishers. "The following is the table of residents for the last and Previous years : 1857. 1858. Men Appr. Total Men Appr. Total Number of boarders 3566 723 4289 . .3576 748 4324 Number of returned ditto __ 1006.. -- _- 1076 "In current account, £14,545 2s. have passed through the hands of the cashier, and, as usual, a large propor tion has be en t ransm itt e d to relatives and friends. "The temporary deposit bank transactions have been more numerous, and the amount deposited by seamen not residing in the home, viz., £12,278 10s. 3d., is larger by £93 7 17s. than that ' of the year 1857. The balance remaining to the credit of seamen is £6,382 4s. 6d. The balance must necessarily decrease year by year, inasmuch as the B oar d o f Trade Savings Bank is superseding that of the Sailors Home, excepting so far as regards tempo rary deposits. "The sailor being greatly benefitted by the free money order system, and by the "savings bank. established by the Legislature, your committee have satisfaction in stating that they are informed by the shipping master that the first i s used to a rapidly increasing extent, and the second is making favourable progress. _ The funds of the institution have been rather severely taxed, especially during the last six months, by the un fortunately large number of shipping casualties ' • in fact, daring the la s t ten weeks 100 shipwrecked men have arrived here wholly or partially destitute, and consequently un able to pay anything for board and lodging. Your com mittee strongly recommend all persons connected with !kipping to interest themselves in persuading seamen to Join the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society, the subscription to which is only 3s per annum, so that in the event of misfortnne they may reap the large benefits accruing to membership, and maintain thereby a position of independence and self-reliance. "Your committee are anxious to set before the mind of the sailor, that more excellent way of satisfying the longing for amusement when ashore—of instructing exalting as well as simply exciting , and in order to this have the gratification of saying that the ladies and gentle men who so kindly the last two seasons gave in the lecture room of the institution gratuitous concerts, have continued them this season, to the great satisfaction and pleasure of the boarders and their friends, and also . that the band of the Myrtle-street Orphan Aslum has kindly, =by the consent of the committee of that excellent institution, given several very pleasing and clever enter 4ainments. "In addition to all this, some evenings have been :occupied with explanations and experiments in electricity, 'galvanism, &c., and in the exhibition of the magic lantern, with instructing and amusing slides. " Your committee beg to thank all those ladies and gentlemen who have so obligingly rendered their aid to the officers of the institution, in endeavouring to foster in the sailor sentiments of morality and self respect. " During the past year your committee have received books gifts to the library of the Home some parcels of &c., which are hereby gratefully acknowledged. The proprietors of the weekly papers—viz., Journal, 4416i0n, Courier, .AfercurY, Mail, and Chronicle—still generonsly send gratuitously their papers as published to the reading room, in addition to which your committee con tinue to supply the daily papers, magazines, periodicals, &c. theme The attendance upon the Church services of the much improved, which is a very gratifying li -11144 nm Your committee pray that the administra .ens of their chaplan, the Rev.

MANSFIELD. • A BLACIC MUTIMY.-officers Laycock and Carlyle, of the detective force, brought up five blackmen, part of a crew of 23 belonging to the American ship Enoch Train, charged with mutiny and an attempt to kill the com mander, Captain Rish. The prisoners were very large and powel-ful fellows, and much wickeder looking than blackmen generally are. Laycock said, on Thuraday the American consul's secretary, hir. Wilding, sent him, with his brother officer and five policemen . along With the captain, on board the Enoch Train, as the captain informed them that the men had refused to do-their work. When they got on board (the ship is in the river, ready for sea) the captain asked the crew what com plaint they had to make ? They had no reason to offer, but one of them .. said the mate .wanted them to do something at the sails on Sunday. The captain then " told " them over, and asked them if they were ready to go to work, and they replied they were not. He said he must put them in irons, when the whole crew of 23 men made a rush -on the captain, and, from their fierceness, there was no doubt that they would have seriously injured, if not killed him, had not the officers interfered. However, there not being enough of o:ficers- to grapple with the fellows, Laycock went on shore and got 14 other officers, and then they put the men in irons, but, during the night, 18 made their escape. In addition to the above, Carlyle said one of the prisoner's, whom he pointed out, was the chief ringleader, and he drew a knife,• and swore furiously that he would put it into the first man who came near him, and that he would kill some one th it night, and called on the rest to follow his exam ple. Some of the men complained of the provisions, but they (the officers) examined them, and found that nothing could be better th in the provisions. Captain Rich was examined, and proved the facts as above stated, and added that each of the men had received £5 advance, and no doubt they wanted to get away from the ship after getting the 'money. He had no doubt that the police would be able to arrest the others, as they were in town. His Worship sent Cie ringleader to gaol for two months, and remanded the others until this day. STREET ROBBERY OF £76o.—Detective officer Scaife, brought up Mary Gallaher, " a pick-up woman," who lives in Sawney Pope-street, and William Lynch, " a bludgete: ' " living iu Ben Johnson-street, on a charge of having robbed an Italian gentleman, a • merchant, from Central America, named Beltham Save, of £763, on Thursday night, in Queen's-square. Scaife said, from information he received, that the pr isecutor had been robbed of two three hundred pound n }tes, and £l6O in other notes, he went in search of the prisoners. The robbery took place in Queen square, about eleven o'clock, and about four o'clock he went to Sawney Pope-street, where he arrested the female in bet with a man, who got away. He then went to Ben Johnson-street, and arrested the man in bed there. It would be proved that a few minutes after the robbery, the female prisoner went into the public-house of Mr. Fisher, in Great Crosshall-street, and exhibited a three hundred pound note, a fifty and a ten. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoners, and cross examined tae officer, bat did not elicit any thing impor tant. The prosecutor, through an interpreter, said, he lodged at the Victoria Hotel, and on Thursday night he met the female prisoner, who stopped him to speak with her in Qacea-square, and whilst she was asking him for money, a MAR seized him from behind, whilst the woman put her hand in his pocket, took out his pocket-book containin g £760 in Bank of England notes, and ran away ; and when she turned the corner - the man ran away also. On cross-examination by Mr. Bluck, the prosecutor said, he would not like to swear posi tively to the identity of the woman. He could not swear to the man at all, a; he did not see him. The . boots at the Victoria Hotel said, he saw the female prisoner, as it were, waiting for some one, about the Hotel door, and soon after he saw the prosecutor and the woman walking towards Queen-Square; he had previously seen the woman, and swore positively to her. Officer Coe, 533, said he was on duty in - Queen-square on Thursday night, and saw the woman and prosecutor pass by the Stork Hotel, into great Charlotte-street, towards Whitechapel. • He had previously seen her talking to the prisoner, - in the same locality. Mrs.. Fisher, the wife of a publican; at the corner of-Standish street, G.-eat Crosshall-street, said, both the prisoners, with another man, entered the house on Thursday night, at half-past eleven , o'clock, and had three glasses of ale; in about ten minutes after the female came again, in a great hurry, without shawl or bonnet, and passed into a snug at the end of the shop, and called her in. She asked her . to. read some bank-notes for her, and then handed her one, saying, "Is not this a£s note ?" Witness looked, and saw it was a £5O. - She then produced- a second- note, saying, "Is not this a ten ?" It was so. She then pro duced a third note, saying, "Is not this a hundred pound note ?" Witness saw it was a £3OO note, and she became excited at seeing so much money with the woman, and of course thought she did not get it rightly. A man then came in, and the prisoner went hurriedly out, and then witness ran up-stairs to her husband, who was asleep on the sofa, and told him, and he at once went to the Police-office, and gave information. - , In reply to Mr. Block, the witness said the woman was alone on the occasion of showing her the notes. The prisoners were then remanded for a week. MARY FEGAN'S DANCING MASTER. —Mary Fegan, a well dressed girl, about 25 years of; age, was brought up on remand, charged for having stolen some table cloths, and other things, the property of her master, Mr. Hoffin in, the owner of the Vine Hotel, Pitt-street, Mr. Cobb defended the prisoner. The chief features in this case of felony arose out of the dancing propensities of Miss Fegan, which happened thus : The lady in question had an irresistible feeling about her feet, for tripping on the light fantastic in fact, .she could cl.allenge all " Sprites; of the Woods or the Water, to dance - a good jig with her father's fair daughter." She had gone stark staring mad about dancing. She danced up the stairs, and down the stairs, into the kitchen, through the bar into the sang, and goodness knows when she might have stopped. If suffered to go on, possibly she might have , found herself in the s t no awkward predicament that an Hibernian brother did at one period, when he'said, if he had lived in a certain place up to the present time, he would have found himself dead long ago. So with Fegan's dancing. There was a pretty bar-maid at the Hotel, and she had a pretty brooch, and in the centre of it was a pretty likeness of a pretty captain of a ship, who had presented the pretty barmaid with his head at least that is, a likeness of that important apex to his, physical proportions—no matter where his heart might have been deposited, for they tell us sailors, when away, iu every port a sweetheart find. It was, however, by no ~means insinuated that the aforesaid captain, whose likeness the pretty barmaid had in the pretty brooch, did anything so ungallant. Now, Miss Fegan was sent out to the Old Swan, along with other domestics from the Hotel, to wash the house linen and other materials belonging to the establishment. This was a fine opportunity. for her to show off d la. Lola Montes, or Fanny Eisler ; and, in order to adorn herself to the best advaritage, she borrowed (withoutleave) the pretty barmaid's pretty brooch, with the likeness of the pretty captain. Every one knows the very devilment of " a washing-day," and the girls at the Old Swan, wanting something stronger than hot water to keep up the steam, induced Miss Fegan (so it was stated) to pledge a certain ring, and by the magic of a pawn broker's shop, and a small bit of paper, the metal was transmuted into gin, an operation that the philosopher's stone could n ever have accomplished. In due t ime the rin g was missed, and then the pretty barmaid began looking amongst her " trinkem trankums" for the pretty brooch with the likeness of the pietty captain, but it was no where to be found.. She sought it that night, and she sought it next day, and she might be seeking the like ness until the day of; judgment, . hut could never look upon its like (except . she happened to meet the original) again. Why? Because Miss Fegan, in one of her dancing fits, at the Old Swan, or somewhere else, had danced the brooch out of her dress, and her foot coming on it, destroyed—delapidatei ruined —annihilated the likeness of the handsome captain. The pretty barmaid wept and wailed over her loss, ,for her Johnny was' at sea, ploughing the raging main, and she did not know whether she would ever see his like again. Miss Fegan having procured everlasting liberty from the hotel—that is to say, being . turned away by the owner, a variety of things were missed, such as blankets , table cloths, &c., and on searching her box, at her lodging, off Scotland-road, the brooch, with the delapidated head of the captain, a table cloth, belonging to Mr. Hoffman, and other things were found. Mr. Cobb caused a great deal of merriment by his cross-examination of the pretty bar maid, but at length Miss Fegan was sent, for one month to a rural retreat at. Walton, where she will have an opportunity of indulging in her favourite passion for dancing—on the mill—for the above named period. M ARRIAGES.

On the 30th inst., at 16, wentwotth-street, EVedon, Charles c w .,,b,l4.l*Act MI Of Mr. c:harleS'ward, DREADFUL MURDER IN SHEFFIELD , An atrocious and cowardly attempt' to take the life of a man was made, about one o'clock on Thursday morning, opposite the General Post-office. William Wilson, a brass turner, who lives in No. 8 Court, Fitzwilliam street, a few minutes before one o'clock, was opposite the end of the Hartshead, and was proceeding homewards, when an unprovoked attack was made upon him. According to the murdered man's account of the transaction, three or four men, who came out of a passage opposite the Post-office, which is known as the Hartshead, ran at him, and one of them plunged- a knife, or some other pointed instrument, into his abdomen. The men immediately ran away. From the effects of the stab, the man fell to the ground, and lay totally incapable of moving. At that moment there were no other persons near. He retained consciousness, and called out to the best of his ability for assistance. Two or three persons who were passing that way went by without taking notice of his appeal, believing that he was under the influence of liquor. Ultimately a man named Peter Ross, attracted by his moaning, went to his assistance. The injured man requested Ross to help him, and Ross accordingly raised him from the ground. He found that he was covered with blood. Mr. J. Marshall, who had just passed, hearing that the man was suffering from injuries, assisted Ross to carry him into the Post-office archway. Ross unfastened some of the injured man's clothes, and found that his bowels were protruding. As soon as he saw this he ran to the Town Hall fo" assistance, leaving Wilson in the care of Mr. Marshall, who was afterwards joined by Owen, the market watchman, and Police-constable Grimshaw. On his return, Ross found that the persons in care of Wilson were preparing to carry him to the Town Hall, and he accordingly assisted. On the arrival of the injured man at the Town Hall, messengers were sent for surgical assistance. Mr. Bland, of the Brunswick Hotel, Hay market, hearing of the occurrence, very kindly went in search of a surgeon, but was unsuccessful in five or six instances. In the meantime, however, information was sent to Mr. W. H. Booth, Paradise-square, who was promptly in attendance. He found the man lying at the Town Hall in a very exhausted condition, and on exami nation he ascertained that from 3ft. to 4ft. of the intes tines were protruding from a punctured wound on the right side of the abdomen, just over the region of the , liver. His clothes were completely saturated with blood, The wound was very small, being no more than half an inch in length, and Mr. Booth found it necessary, in order to replace the intestines, to enlarge the orifice. After having put the bowels into their proper position, Mr. Booth proceeded to stitch up the wound, and the man was then removed on a stretcher to a room in the building, where he would be more comfortable. On the evening of Thursday, however, he expired. •No clue to his assassins has yet been discovered. WHAT IS PAPER ? In the - Court of Exchequer, before the Lord Chief • Baron, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Baron Watson, and Mr. Baron Channel, a curious case has just been argued—that of THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. BARRY.-This- was an_ information filed by her Majesty's Attorney-General against the defendant, for making paper without a license. The case was tried more than a year ago before Mr. Baron Bramwell, when a verdict was taken for the Crown by consent, with leave reserved to the defendant to move to set aside the verdict, it being understood that if, in the opinion of the Court, the learned.judge ought to have left the case to the jury as a matter of fact, then there should be a new trial. Mr. Wilde, Q.C., and Mr. Bevan argued for the Crown ; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Welsby for the defendant. The evidence at the trial went to show that the defendant in his manufacture took the fibrous portions of skins, and, reducing them to pulp, . made__thetn into sheets by means analogous to those employed in the manufacture of paper. The 2nd and 3rd Victoria, cap. 23, sec. 66, enacts, " That all paper, buttonboard, millboard, pasteboard, and scaleboard, of whatever materials made, and by whatever denomination known.. or. called, and however manufactured, whether ma le by the materials being reduced to pulp and moulded or finished by machinery, or being pressed or intermixed in a dry state, and made to adhere by pressure or other wise, shall be deemed and taken to be paper, button wood, millboard, pasteboard, and scaleboard, within the meaning of this Act." It was argued for the Crown, that anything was paper made from art i c les of a fibrous nature which had been previously converted into pulp ; that the defendant's manufacture was a material known in the trade as parchment paper, because long prior to the defendant's patent a Mr. De la Rue had imported parchment paper from France, and that paper made from animal substances has been long known and used ; for instance, the bank-notes were printed on paper made from silk rags, and paper was largely made from pieces of woollen cloth, and the act required the manufacturer thereof to have a license, failing which he was liable to a penalty. The defendant's manufacture was paper made from animal snbstances, which clearly brought it within the definition of the Act, and this being so the verdict for penalties ought to stand. For the defendant, it was contended that the manufacture could not be brought within the definition of the Act, and that if it was anything at all approaching to paper it was parchment, upon which all duties were abolished ; that the statute of the 10th of Queen Anne, cap. 19, was the first Act imposing a duty on paper ; and that the defendant's manufacture must be proved by the Crown to be such a manufacture as would have been termed paper before the passing of that Act. The defen dant's material strictly was neither parchment nor paper. It was not sold, as paper always is, in reams, but in separate skins. Baron Bramwell: I want you, Mr. Bovill, to define what paper is. Mr. Bovill : The Crown must do that. The real question to be decided here is one between the Crown and the trade. No one ever heard of the defendant's manufacture being sold in reams. Mr. Wilde : Ido not accede to that. It may be sold by the retail man in a single sheet. Mr. Bovill :It is sold as the defendant's patent parchment, and is applied to the uses to which parchment is applied, and it can be tested in the same way as parchment. If you apply heat to it it melts, and if the heat is great it shrivels up ; moisture effects it ; it can by heat be made into gelatine ; it is not paper, and never was known as such ; and does not come within any known definition of paper before the pasSitig of the Statute of Anne. The Crown seeks to make paper because it happens to be manufactured from pulp ; that goes to the manufacture and not to the material produced. The Crown has not succeeded in showing that there is a duty, in fail' and unambiguous language, chargeable upon the manufacture as paper. After Mr. Wilde had replied, their lordshipssaid that they would take time to consider judgment. THE SOCIAL EVIL AT CAM BRIDGI A case lately occurred in the University of Cambridg. on which some of our contemporaries have already commented. Most of our readers are probably aware that, in consequence of the recent appointment of a University Commission, new statutes have been intro duced into that seat of learning. Whether the changes effected by these statutes will prove generally beneficial, time only can show. We may, at all events, take' it for granted that they were expected to work. Strange to say, however, the machine is no sooner put into motion than it strains and cracks and gets out of gear : - its wheels that were expected to revolve, suddenly stop ; the ropes, and chains that should have guided and controlled its action not only snap assunder, but fly back in the faces of its managers, to their, consternation and dismay. -The facts of. the case are as follows : One of the Pro-proctors (whose office it is to search out and otherwise deal with cases of moral delinquency . among the under graduates), on a certain night in December last, discovered a member of that body in a house of ill-fame. The Pro-proctor naturally turned to the new statutes to see what course was prescribed in such a case. They direct that, if the offence be a light one, some moderate punishment shall be inflicted by the officer himself ; but that, if it be a grave offence, he shall make it known to the Vice-Chancellor, and leave the case to be dealt with by him and his Court, if he thinks proper to assemble it, for the purpese of adjudication. In the present instance it appears that the Pro-proctor, assuming the offence to be a grave one , rep orted it to the Viee-Chaneellor. Thereupon the Vice-Chancellor, deeming, we suppose; that the gravity of the occasion required it, assembled his court, and submitted the case to their consideration. - So far the new machine seems to work smoothly. There is wanting but one more stroke of the piston, but one more turn of the wheels. But just at this point there comes a smash. The Supreme Court, formed of venerable heads of colleges not accustomed to be summoned from their comfort;ble " Lodges" - for purposes of this kind, give vent to their indi g nation a gainst their subordinate • officer for venturing to deviate from the easy-going rule t of established usage. The criminal and the Pro-proctor have, if not to change places, at least to share alike. The • former leaves the court with an admonition ; so does the Pro-proctor. Each is told "he had bettor not do it again," The Pro-proctor, not feeling, we presume, quite so well satisfied as the delinquent, resigns his office. And o the academical machine comes to a dead stand-still. H e re, thee, is nothing less th an a sim p le, but ver y l unpleasant hitch. An officer, whose great mission is to guard the morals and restrain the excesses of the younger me mbers of the University , fee ls bound, by the very statutes which he has sworn to obey, to bring a case of grave mMi deliapeuey before the Yi.ce• Chancellor, We should have thought that an appeal of this kind from the lower officer to the higher tribunal would hate found a sympathetic response. On the . contrary, the highest court of the University so little appreciate the meaning of the statute under which they have to administer justice, that, in the first case which comes before them, they actually feel indignant at being asked to interfere! This is a strange way of inaugurating an improved system of judicature, and certainly does not present the University of Cambridge in any very advanced state of enlightenment, either on the subject of morals or of obedience to its own statutes. CARDINAL WISEMAN'S LECTURE, AND EDUCATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—l am sorry. to see—in your remarks on Cardinal Wisman s lecture, in the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, of to-day—that you endorse the vulgar Protestant prejudice against the Catholic Church—that she is opposed (in Italy at least) to the cause of popular education, and, in England, only favours it from the force of circumstances. This is (I think) the more to be regretted, when we consider the usual liberality of the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES—so different from most of its Liver pool cotemporaries—three of which seem to be afflicted with a perfectly maniacal hatred of Catholics in general, and the great Cardinal in particular. Instead of being opposed to the spread of knowledge, the Catholic Church has always been the nursery of learning. The Catholic. Church founded the great Universities, civilised Europe, and before the invention of printing, kept the lamp of science burning, and gave our fathers all their learning. Pope Gregory, VII. commanded all the Bishops in Christendom to encourage literature and the arts, and to have each a school attached to his Cathedral Church. And Gibbon, the historian, declared that " one monastry of Benedictine monks, gave to the world more works of learning than both the universities of England." The Jesuits have always been famed for their admirable system of education, and Catholics in this country are at present straining every nerve to give a sound education to the poorer members of the body of Christ. And as for education in Italy, the Protestant traveller Zaing, bears the following testimony : " The Catholic clergy adroitly seized on education, and not, as we suppose in Protestant countries, to. keep the people in darkness and ignorance, and to inculcate error and superstition, but to be at the head of the great social influence of useful knowledge." "In Catholic Germany, and France, Italy, and even Spain, the education of the com mon people, in reading, writing, arithmetic, manners and morals, is at least as generally diffused; and as faithfully promoted by . the clerical body, as in Scotland. Y Education is, in reality, not only not repressed but is encouraged in the . ' Popish' Church, and is a mighty instrument in its hands and ably used. In every street in Rome, for instance, there are, at short distances, .public primary schools, for the education of the children of the lower and middle classes." Rome, with a populatin of 158,618 souls, has 372 public primary schools, with 482 teachers, and 14,099 children attending them. Has Edinburgh so many public schools for the instruction of those classes ? I doubt it. Berlin, with a population about double that of Rome, has only 261 schools. Rome has also her university. The Papal Statcs, with a population of 24- millions, contain seven universities. Protestant Prussia, with a popula tion of 14 millions, has only seven. The statistical fact, that Rome has above 100 schools more than Berlin, for a population little more than half that of Berlin, puts to flight a world of humbug. . . Is it asked —what is taught to the people of Rome by all these schools ? precisely what is taught at Berlin—reading. writing, arithmetic, geography, languages, religious doctrine of some sort. And yet Catholics are accused of being enemies to pro gress, although Europe is indebted to the Catholic Church for civilisation, laws, and arts, and England for her "Magna Charta."—l am, sir, yours very faithfully, A SCOTSMAN. Liverpool, 29 January, 1859. HENGLER'S CIRQUE TO THE TREASURER OF THE ROYAL INFIRMARY Sir,—The receipts for last evening, although announced for the benefit of your excellent local charity, were not such as I did hope they would have been, considering the nature of the appeal that was thus made. to the feelings and generosity of the public. It was understood, sir, when my manager had the pleasure of waiting upon you, that a moity of the receipts, free from all expenses, should be handed over to you, in aid of the funds of your institution, but as the amount falls far ihOtt of - *hat Might faiiiOnably - have been antici pated, I beg to hand you a check for fifty pounds, being the entire amount taken at the entrances, in place of one-half as originally intended. Waiting your kind acknowledgement of the enclosed, — I am, sir, yours, &c. CHARLES lIENGLER. Liverpool, January 29, 1859. P.S. —I cannot refrain from 'stating, that I am much indebted to the gentlemen of the Press for the very obliging manner in which they gave publicity to, and forwarded in every way the interests of the institution. THE COTTON SUPPLY TO THE' EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir,—The article on the Cotton Supply Associa tion, in the papers of this date, strikes me as very inappropriate at the present time. There are many reasons for coming to this conclusion, but the principal one, in my opinion, is, that the manufacturers of this country don't seem to wish a supply of cotton ; at any rate, they go about it in a most extraordinary manner. Take the last three months, for instance, what has been the means they have taken to induce the merchants of this country to supply them with an adequate quantity of cotton, whilst they have been realising from 20 to 50 per cent profit, and the manufactured article rising weekly ? They have ground down the importer, so that there has not a bale of cotton arrived here for months but has left a loss of from 20s. to 30s. each. The consequence is, the merchants have not been able to send orders to America, to compete with the Continental and American merchants and manufacturers, -and, as a matter of course, these parties will run away with the Lyon share of the staple, and, I may say, the most of the finer grades; leaving nothing but the dregs for this country. Now, Mr. Editor, this is not a.question of price. The association says that cotton is above its natu ral value ; but this is mere talk, for, provided the manufacturer can get a good price and a good profit on his article, it seems to me that he should be able to give a good price for the raw material. However, I am sorry to say that this is not the belief of the Manchester spinner. He believes in getting the raw material for nothing, and selling his manufactures at an enormous price. What will be the consequence of this ? Instead of having, at the least, one million and a half of bales in stock in this country (and I say we never should have less) ' we will have two or three hun dred thousand bales, and, provided anything takes place to the coming crop, I leave you to judge what will be the consequence. I will be met by the manufacturers with they old cry that we should not have sent out orders at such a high rate, but this argument falls to the ground for once, as it happens they (the manufacturers) could well afford to -pay the price; as -it appears the. Continental and American merchants and manu facturers do not think the price unreasonable, as the quantity they are securing plainly shows. I put these few lines together more for the benefit of the manufacturers than the importers, as they may depend on it, that if they continue to screw down -the importer the way they have been doing lately, a day of reckoning will co me, and that at no distant date , when they will find, by their short-sighted policy, that they have with held the means whereby this country could n er; ow receive an adequate supply of the raw mat:c.a, through their not adheri n g to the good old r o le o f ff live and let liv© A. B, - 1859. . __l ow7+l, TnnuarY, MONETARY AND COMMEh LIVERPOOL, Saturday vening The demand for Cotton continues very uiet, at previous prices. To-day, the sales were 5,000 bales, including 500 on speculation and for exp art. There was a decided improvement in the tone . 11. the Liverpool Share Market to-day, and at the close an advance in prices was established. The. following are the day's transactions :—Caledonian, 87, 871, 874; Great Western, 5,5 # ; L ancashire and Yorkshire, 98 ; London and North Western, 964, 964; Manchester, Sheffield andlincoln, 38k ; Midland, 103 k, 1027 ; North British, 62i; lovers, 22 5-16 ; Warrington and Stockport, 84, 8 9-16; Dutch Rhenish, 41 d ; Grand Trunk of Canada,. CIAL 8!, The Money Market continues in an exceedingly easy state, notwithstanding the commercial pay ments and loan instalments which will have to be effected during the next fortnight. The fact is, the available supplies have lately increased, princi pally through the release of the half yearly dividends - and, as at the same time the demand has subsided, competition has been stimulated, and lower rates are chated foi accommodation. The Bank authorities are not yet enabled to make any large addition to their stock of securities,- . discount business being attracted to the open market, where easier terms are accepted for negociatiug first class commercial paper. The Bullion in the national establishment is fairly maintained, and the remit tances just announced from Australia are expected to create a further accumulation. The Monetary Times of to-day says— The stagnation of business, and the uncertainty of the future, have caused money again to accumulate amongst bankers and brokers, and the rate of discount has receded to 2k to 24, with a tendency to the former figure, and the large arrivals of gold during the week, amounting to 700,0001., is calculated to produce a further decline. The market for the Public Funds and Securities has been dull, a few speculative realisations hav ing been effected, but the reduction in Prices amount to only about 1-16 per cent. In the other markets firmness prevails, except as regards Indian Railway shares, which remain heavy. English Railway Stocks have generally improved, and French are firm. Business through out the Stock Exchange is languid. Consols are quoted 951, " buyers," for money and the Bth February, and 951, " rather sellers," for the 9th March. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 961 to 4 ; the New Three per Cents., at 961 to t ; India stock, at 221; the Indian Four . per Cent. Debentures of the first issue, at 991 to -991, being pressed for sale ; the March Exchequer Bills, at 37s prem.; ditto June, at 35s to 38s prem.; and Exchequer Bonds, falling payable in May next, at 1001. The foreign Stock Market is very quiet. The New Turkish loan shows renewed heaviness, the first series being quoted at 61 to 51 dis., and the second, 64 to 6 dis. The. Six per Cents. of 1851 are quiet at 901 to 914. Mexican Bonds continue to meet with, some transactions. Very little activity was apilarent in the London Railway Share Market to-day, but prices show rather more firmness. Great Northerns are quoted 105 to 106. Great Westerns, 55 to 551. Lancashire and Yorkshire 961, 971. Brightons, 1094, 1101 ex div. North Western, 961, 964. South Western, 954, 96; and Midlands, 1021, 103. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets there is no change of importance to notice. Paris and Lyons are 331, 334. Northern of France, '371, 371. East India, 1031, 1014; and Great India Peninsula, 1024, 1031. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares realise about former rates. In noticing the Market for Mines, the Mining Journal of to-day says: The General Stock Markets have been subject during the week to many fluctuations and the want of activity the common remark . The Mining Share Market, how ever, continues particularly buoyant, with a large busi ness doing in most descriptions of shares, while in a few a considerable advance has takes place in prices. Metals coninue to rise, and offer the most encouraging feature to the miner. Rosewarne shares have been largely dealt in at 50 to 521; the next sampling, it is understood, will • realise nearly £1,500, and the succeeding one more; the lode in the 70 will be cut in about a fortnight; and a stope in the back of the 58, south of old lode, is worth £BO per fathom. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been of an important character. The imports have amounted to 762,016/., including 13,610/. from the United States, by the America, and 26,1371. by the City of Manchester ; 9,6131. from Alexandria, by the Tagus, and 5001. by the Behar ; 7001. from the Cape of Good Hope, by the Phcebe ; 322,336/. from Australia, by the Black wall, and 339,100/. by the Swiftsure ; with about . 50,0001. in silver from the Continent. The exports have . been 76,195/. to Bombay, by the Ripon . ; 10,0001. to the Peninsula, by the Alhambra ; and shipments to the Continent, through the London Custom House, estimated at 35,670/. The total amounting to 121,865/, The failure was announced yesterday of Messrs. Prior, Turner, and Co., merchants, The clause assigned for this suspension is a gradual decline in business, the death of the senior partner, and the uncertainty attending the settlement of the part nership accounts. The firm have agencies at Naples and Palermo, but it is believed that the draughts of these establishments will be provided for. The liabilities of the London house are esti mated at £20,000, and it is expected that the whole will be paid in full. The report of the directors of the National Dis count Company, just issued,. states that, after defraying current expenses, and reserving £11,667 12s for rebate on bills 'not yet due, a balance of £13,555 .11s will remain for distribution, out of which they intend proposing a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, and carrying £3,921 18s. 6d. to the reserve fund. From the report published by the London Dis count Company, it appears that the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. The Swiftsure, from Melbourne, arrived in the Downs last night, and her gold, £339,100, will be delivered on Monday . The London Colonial Markets this week have been fairly supplied with produce, and a steady demand has existed. Of Sugar large quantities of, grainy kinds have been offered, and these have to-day barely maintained the previous value, while other sorts have, in many instances, gone slightly in favour of the buyers. Some large transactions are ' reported in Saltpetre at an advance of 2s to 3s. per cwt. from the late lowest currency, owing to purchases on account of foreign governments. Coffee is unaltered. Sales of Neilgherry Hills descriptions have been made at full rates. Rice is dull of sale: Cassia Lignea has declined is to 2s per cwt.. Tea has been very active at higher prices since the arrival of the China mail, nearly all kinds showing a tendency to further improve ment. We have Alexandria advices to the 17th inst. From the circular of Messrs. Peel and Co., we make-the following extracts : Cotton since the receipt of the last advices from England has been in greater favour at an advance, this advance being more perceptible in the higher range of Qualities. .

LEEDS, Jan. 28.—Business in the wool trades collapsed in many of its branches since the year came in, and during the present week little has been done. In the meantinae, prices for long wool are in favour of the buyer, especially for skin wool. Colonial is firm in price, stocks being light. A small public sale in Liverpool this week shows an advance of about five per cent. on London prices last sales. Low wools are also higher. BRADFORD, Thursday.—There is still very little English wool changsag hands in this market, and prices are rather irregular. Some staplers hold out for full rates, but where actual business is done the advantage may be said to be on the side of the buyer. Manufacturers are, however, still engaged in the execution of contracts previously enteredinto. The-political perturbations on. the Continent are exercising an adverse influence upon the worsted trade,,by checking the operations of the export houses; but apart from the warlike rumours and preparations, there are fair pros pects of a continuance of prosperous business. HALIFAX, Friday Evening.—Since our report of this day week business here has in general t,en characterised by extreme dulness; long wools being moved off with great difficulty, and in very insignificant parcels, and at worse prices, by those who dispose to be realising; whilst the quietness which has come over the yarn trade is really remarkable; spinners, however, arc still pretty well employed on past orders, with few exceptions. P.n. short wools there is fair call, and prices firmly supported.
