Railwa accidents are becoming quite appallin, s up a newspaper, it is with the " Horrible Railway Accident" lc face, with all its pleasant accompani dful smash," broken limbs, lost noses, ed" bodies. Look, for instance, at our Every time on expectation of wents of "( Eirst we up" on the Bir gham and Gloucester line—one man 'lied, a second so injured that he died and two others horribly scalded : then .1 the York and North Midland line— carriages ~ed into fragments or pressed together " like a sheet of paper," a man and a woman killed, and mutilations, such as the loss of a hand or the side of a face, " too numerous to mention : next of another "smash on the London and Birmingham line—two men killed on the spot, one of them so crushed and jellified" that his features could Snot be identified : fourthly, of a " run over" on the York and Leeds line —a leg and an arm skilfully amputated by the carriage . wheels ; and, lastly, of a minor " smash" on the East ern Counties line—an unknown number of individuals more or less disfigured. To these . we may add a re . in a few hours of a " smash" port of another disaster on a York line, attended by the death of two persons, and the mutilation of some half-score others. Now, we think this a tolerable catalogue of five days' work, and demonstrates pretty clearly that there must be a change in the working of the system, unless we are to be driven back into the somewhat antiquated practice of making our wills before we venture on a journey. It strikes us that dividends have held a more prominent place in the estimation of some railway di rectors than public safety. But this reckless risk of human life cannot be tolerated. Regulations—and stringent' regulations—must and will he devised by Parliament, for it is impossible for any one to consider calmly the circumstances connected with recent acci dents on railways, without arriving at the conclusion that they are generally the result of a gross neglect of proper precaution. INSOLENCE OF THE MINISTERIAL PRESS. (From the Carlisle Patriot.) The insolence with which the ministerial press treat their readers has 'no parallel, except in the conduct of the detected thief, who turned round soil accused the man he had plundered of having robbed him. The reckless disregard, of all decent bearing exhibited by these O'Counellised journals is perfectly astounding. Their immorality would be destructive of the best of causes, and when employed to uphold the worst—how ever consistent and correspondent the means may be with the object—it Certainly is not the less calculated to excite one's indignation and disgust. During the discussions that have arisen out of the recent events in Egypt and Syria, and while there existed the least chance of a war between England and France what has been the conduct of the conservative press of this country, almost without exception ? Laying aside all oppressing every rising emotion of anger government of her Majesty's ministers and only the. honour, interest, and happiness of their sovereign and of their country, they have in the spirit of true patriotism upheld the councils of the Queen, denounced (though, as we have more than once before intimated, not always in justifiable terms nor on legitimate-grounds) those who would fan the embers of war in France and, with a self negation scarcely excusable in public men, they vindicated the conduct of their political opponents, when they con ceived them to be in danger of coining in Conflict with the common enemy of their country. This was the course pursued by the conservative press at a time when the Chronicle and the Globe, the especial organs of Downing-street, were using every means to widen the breach between the two countries. Under these circumstances it might be supposed that the ministerial papers would, at least, have remained silent, if they did not think proper to award to the conservative press the praise justly due to their disinterested conduct. A sense of decency, if not shame, would forbid the adoption of any other course. Not so, however, shame is a word of no meaning with them. Their creed is that the end justifies the means. To retain their masters in office is the sole obj ec t o f a ll t h e i r exertions, and to accomplish this, every means is with them legitimate. Having, as present circumstances seem to indicate, been foiled in their wicked attempt to involve this country in a European war, they en deavour to escape from their ignominious position by audaciously accusing the conservatives of England of secretly fomenting the quarrel with France ! Our readers will recollect we prophecied that if we went to war, the whole gang of liberals would declare that they had been forced into it by the conservatives; here is a proof of the correctness of that prediction. " War (says the Chronicle) would have received the general support of the tories." " Already (it continues) had indications been given in the tory journals, and at agricultural dinners, of the advantage which the food monopoly would have taken of that dire calamity." The hardihood displayed in this wilful falsehood, is only to be equalled in baseness by the sickening affec tation of the writer in his lamentation at the " dire calamity" of war. We expect to hear him in another strain before long, and to find him pouring forth his wailings at the dire calamity of peace. What does he think of the " dire calamity" of radical defeats in the corporations, (a matter of vital importance to the "liberals," though of comparative indifference to the conservatives,) of Lord Lyndhurst's triumph at Combridge ; and what agony will he endure at the " dire calamity" of the signal discomfiture that awaits his patrons when the bill of costs comes to be dissected, which their errors, their ignorance, and their utter incapacity to govern, have entailed upon the country. Aye,_ there's the rub. All would go on smoot h ly and well were it not that the unjust steward must render an account of his steward ship. There is, unfortu nate l y, too great an inclination on the part of the people of this country to give their attention too exclusively to passing events, forgetful of the past and heedless of the future. Hence much mischief may be worked by a minister provided he keeps causes and consequences out of view. But the future, in time, becomes the present, and when Mr. Baring, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, shall appear before the representatives 'of the people, and insert the sums opposite such items as "War in India —War in China—War in Syria—and Preparations for war in Europe," then even a " liberal" un-English House of Commons will at length find a voice wherewith to con demn 'a ministry which has been guilty of a series of errors more conspicuous than any government ever before committed, and more portentous in their coast quences than any former ministry dared to hazard party feeling at the n PROSPECTS OF -W.H-IGG - ERY. fortune s Oxford Herald.) That good fortune which has always befriended our whig ministers has not failed to affbrd them its assist ance during the present vacation. if it be true that the thing of all others most eagerly to be desired by great statesmen is, that the public eye may freely scan and consequently admire their conduct, it is equally true that your pitiful diplomatists most affect the es caping public observation, because such observation cannot but lead, not to admiration, but contempt. This escape from observation is what the fortune of the whig cabinet has lately afforded them. The promi nency given by recent events to the foreign relations of England, and the faint applause a generous pity has bestowed upon Lord Palmerston, have drawn public attention almost entirely away from the colleagues of that noble lord, and the contemplation of their general incapacity. Ever since the clOse of the session these lucky men have enjoyed an uneasy repose; and som e of them are perhaps 'dreaming that this blessed state of things is to last for ever, most absurdly. This somnolence, they should knoW as well as most men, must have an end : at Christmas they must awake from their slumbers, and be again dragged before the eyes of a people that views their prolonged tenure of office with disgust. We very well know that there will not be wanting some among the oracles of whiggclT who have the countenance to assert that their party was never snore powerful, nor their seats snore secure than at the present moment : nevertheless there are two stubborn facts staring these unscrupulous men in the face — the registr a ti ons and the municipal elections, the last of which, that ch osen shaft out of the whig radical quiver, has been most successfully turned against its inventors during the late elections. With reference to these two measures and their effects, along with the feelings which their perverse working must excite in whig bosoms, we are tempted to quote, if they are not too good for such a base use, those cele brated lines— " Keen were his pangs, but keener far to feel Ire nursed the pinion which impelled the steel, While the same plumnge that had warmed nis nest Drank the last life-drop of his bleeding breast." The returns of these registrations and elections must give each member of the Whig cabinet a cold thrill when the possibility, for what we know the probabi city, of a general election flits across his mind. The best of men have their times of melancholy : to the Whig-radicals these fits must be fierce and frequent. • Only let the conservatives pursue their course un flinchingly, let them organise their forces, so as to leave the enemy not a hope of victory ; above all, here in Oxford let us be prepared to give England a glori ous example of how the battle may be won. The time may not be far distant when our strength will be tested. -... ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS AND NOSTRUMS (From the Railway Maaazine.) Our columns have this week to record no less than four accidents upon as many lines of railway, by three of which human life has been sacrificed. It is difficult for us to pourtray the pain we have in relating these most lamentable occurrences. Railways, however, are not the only modes of locomotion the safety of which seems at the present moment to be at a discount in public estimation. Steam navigation has been almost as unfortunate. It is not long since the Phcenix came in contact with a French vessel, when the latter went down, engulphing property, as it was said, worth £50,000; but fortunately all the lives were saved. We do not wish to extenuate the accidents on railways, but when have we had any single accident on them, or any ten together, in which so wholesale a destruction of property has been the result as here ? Happily the casualty with the Phomix was free from the loss of life, but that negative merit is all the advan tage it has to boast of; in other respects it was truly ll• appalling. On Saturday week, the Hopewell of Cork came in collision with the Yawden of Gloucester, and was sunk, by which five out of 12 persons were drowned, and several thousand pounds worth,,,q property irre trievably flestrtwArl Tha vsrrlrsorfvr to •••• 41-.; all probability is nothing short of fB,ooo j or £lO,OOO, and may be much greater ; but th e p ro p o ilional sacri fice of life is awful. Out of 12 persons 7 only escaped ! Had the same fatal proportion have held in any of the railway accidents, scores of lives would have been lost. In the late accident on the South Western it must have amounted to at least 300. We do not mention these circumstances as any pal liation of the railway accidents so deeply to be deplored. Our only object is to show that, serious and lamenta ble as they have been upon railways, they are, never theless, when they occur, incomparably surpassed, both in the amount of property destroyed and in the proportional sacrifice of human life, by that branch of steam travelling which has had the benefit of much longer experience, and which ought, on this and other accounts, therefore, to be much more exempt from ties. casua. It is, we do not mean to deny, a most unfortunate circumstance,' to see so many accidents one after ano ther. But it is a great satisfaction to find that, in almost every case upon railways, the accidents have not been the fault of the system, but of some unpar donable negligence of the paid servants of the company. On the Hull and Selby, the accident was clearly owing to the want of care in not sufficiently fastening an iron table, and another in the culpable neglect of not returning break carriages for those sent. The first accident upon the Eastern Counties was, no doubt, owing to the mad fury of the driver ; the second and third, to the inattention of the engine drivers in not keeping a good look out. That lately on the Great Western appears to have had its origin in the engine driver having been asleep or in a fit, though we are not quite satisfied that the stoker was blameless. The recent accidents on the London and Birmingham, and York and North Midland Railways, were the one due to the inattention of the driver of the second engine, and the other to some error respecting the lights which is not sufficiently explained. All these cases are clearly the result of misconduct, and not owing to the defects of the system. But the universal cry throughout the country is, what can be done to prevent them ? We confess we know nothing more than we have over and over urged, namely, due and proper diligence enforced by much severer laws. Laws, it has been supposed, will have but little effect, because; if men are not sufficiently careful to prevent accidents when their lives are in jeopardy from them, legal enactments will not impress them with more care? For our part we are of a different opinion. We believe that the causes of accidents are traceable rather to a kind of habitual carelessness and recklessness in the whole conduct of the men, owing to the want of the discipline not being sufficiently strict, and the punish ment for negligence not being more certain and severe. Few men would be insane enough wantonly to throw away their own lives; but if the rules by which they are kept to their duty are so lax as to induce a general want of care, or not to impress due care in all cases, listlessness in some of their duty will easily extend to all the rest. If good and fair wages be given, but not extravagant—which with the class of men that fill, and perhaps ever will fill such situations, would only lead to dissipation—and proper rewards be held out for good conduct, and certain punishment for bad or neg lect of duty, whether accident or not follows, we think in a short time a considerable improvement would be made, and accidents hardly ever be heard of. We do not.hy this mean to discourage improvements or useful regulations ; on the contrary we should be anxious to see anything introduced which may in ever so small a degree diminish the number and lamentable effects of these sad catastrophes. We really, however, cannot help feeling sick at the nostrums perpetually proposed by men who know little or nothing of the subject. The duties of engineers cannot be easier or simpler. If men's heads are not as senseless as the wheels of the engines they drive, it is almost impossible they can do wrong. All that is required are attention and care, not skill. Has a single accident happened for want of skill ? Not one ! but—we believe, we may repeat most emphatically, all—except that on the North Midland, for want of due care and attention in the men upon the engines or upon the lines. Wherefore then is this out cry about having men of a better grade ? Sir Frederick Smith has proposed to institute a board to examine engine drivers as he would pilots. Would this pilot examination have prevented the accident on the South-Western Railway, by bringing back to his post te signal man who was absent at tea ? Would it have fastened the iron better upon the Hull and Selby truck ? Would it have kept the engine man and, we fear, the stoker too, on the Great Western, awake, or have prevented a fit ? Would it have cleared away the fog, or given better eyes to the engine man on the York and North Midland Railway ? Would it have furnished the driver of the second engine, on the Bir mingham, with ears, or less obstinacy, or more atten tion ? Would it have prevented the explosion of the engine on the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway ? In fact, would it have done any thing besides, perhaps, finding Sir Frederick Smith a post and a snug salary at the public expense ? We do not wish to be hard upon Sir Frederick Smith, but if he will afford us an opportUnity of giv ing him—aye him, the government commissioner—a little public examination on the subject of railways and the laws of machinery, and, if he then get off with flying colours, we will gladly subscribe to his nostrum to form a board for the production of engine and other men who shall he always awake, always attentive, and never go to tea when they should be at their post, ne ver badly fasten on plates, always be able to see through fogs, avoid accidents, and, as a consequence, and the climax of perfection, secure to Sir Frederick honour, lasting employment, and a good salary Vottrp.

CHESTER DIOCESAN SOCIETY FOR BUILDINC CHURCHES We have great pleasure in inserting the following circular, which has emanated from the Committee of the Chester Diocesan Society for Building Churches in the Manufacturing Districts of Lancashire and Cheshire : Sir,—The circumstances in which the Chester Diocesan Society for building Churches and Chapels is placed, are at this moment so peculiar, both with regard to the greatness of the work to be done, and the inadequacy of the means for doing it ; that we feel it to be our duty to bring them before you in a more close and urgent form than has been hitherto attempted. If the character of the present appeal therefore differs in any respect from those which from time to time are made to the Christian benevolence of the great and affluent; we can only refer to the wants which it has been our lot to ascertain, and which having ascertained, it is our duty to bring forward, and to press upon public attention. The society was formed in 1835. The sanction under which it was proposed, and the objects which it was intended to relieve, insured to it from the first the patronage of the most distinguished individuals in the diocese; and the economy and impartiality with which its funds have been employed, have secured to it the approbation and support of those who have had the best opportunities of watching its operations. The original plan of the society invited donations and sub scriptions in aid of the proposed object ; and it was hoped, that donations proceeding from those, whose hearts God should open from time to time to consider the wants of the church, together with the annual income arising from stated subscriptions, would raise an income corresponding with the greatness of the call, and the importance of the measure con templated. The committee do not feel themselves justified in com plaining of the inadequacy of the supply that their funds have met with. They rather believe that the disproportion in supply arose from the extent in which the real want ex ceeded the expectation of the public ; and also from the diffi culty that is always felt in conveying to the whole body of proprietors clear and sufficient statements of the destitution under which the country labours. They deem it, therefore, a subject of grateful acknowledgment, that they have been able to see nearly £23,000 raised for the general purposes of the society ; that they are able to say, that 26 churches, con taining 19,000 sittings, have been built, and are actually in use ; to the building or endowment of which they have sup plied the sum of £17,000, and the erection of most of which must be ascribed to the interest excited, and to the assistance given by the society, They can state, with the same feelings of grateful acknowledgment, that ten other churches, calcu lated for 5700 sittings, are in progress, and will probably be completed within the year; to which they have contributed, or are under engagements for, £5200 more. But the work which has been done is merely a fraction of that which is to be accomplished. The insight that has been gained into the condition of the manufacturing districts ; they may add, the experience that has been obtained, in the good effects they have been permitted to witness resulting from the churches already built and opened, compel them to de dare, that a great increase of exertion is required ; and that much must be done, and done without delay, if the duty which we owe to God and to our fellow creatures is to be acknowledged and fulfilled: The committee having resolved to limit the grants that they made to the means placed at their disposal, trust that they shall be able to answer all their present engagements without difficulty. But in the mean time the wants of the diocese are pressing ; an increase of not less than 40,000 souls is annually added to the population ; and it seems absolutely necessary that some immediate expedient should be devised in order to raise the means for the supply of their spiritual necesgities. Of the various resources that have been contemplated, there is none which seems so obvious as that of making a fresh appeal to the benevolence and Christian feelings of the public, on the ground of what has been already done, and of the information which has been collected ; and of asking for subscriptions on a scale better adapted to the amount of the necessities which are to be relieved. An appeal of this kind was made in the year 1837, to the inhabitants of Liverpool, on behalf of the general purposes of the society. On that occasion an hundred individuals pledged themselves to give fifty pounds each ; and the sum of £5OOO was raised by single effort. __ By taking a wider circle, by extending a similar appeal to the proprietors in the counties of Lancashire and Cheshire, it is hoped that a number of persons might be found, who under a deep conviction of the importance of the object, would pledge themselves to the annual payment of a sum bearing some proportion to the exigencies of the case, or to their own stated expenditure ; and who would consent to be considered subscribers to that amount. The committee feel the difficulty there is in naming a standard of subscription applicable to all, where the appeal is addressed to persons whose circumstances are so widely different. They beg leave therefore to refer to the printed list of subscribers, and to direct attention to the few which seem to approach the rate that it is desirable to establish. Not one of those who give the most have felt that they have given too much. On the contrary, the committee do not hesitate to state their conviction, that the only regret felt by their most liberal benefactors has been for the inadequacy of the sums contributed, when they were compared with the greatness of the wants to be relieved. _ _ If the Society, for which the appeal is made, were a novel and unknoWn institution, the committee might have felt that they were presuming too much on the confidence of the pub lic in asking for such support in such a form of address as the present. They would have thought it necessary to give in formation as to its operations by public meetings, and would have endeavoured to substantiate its claims by statements and argument. But they cannot think that these measures are needed now, and they are unwilling to allow the waste of time and labour which they imply. They feel that it is more consistent with the position which the Society holds in public estimation, with the urgent nature of the wants to be relieved, and with the known character of the persons to whom the address is made, to adopt a simpler and less circuitous plan. They wish to bring before the enlightened and benevolent proprietors of these counties, the state o f a m illi on an d a half of, their countrymen and neighbours. They wish to name the necessity of making sacrifices to a larger amount than have been yet required, in order to meet the peculiar demands of the population ; and to press for an immediate decision where the eternal welfare of multitudes is at stake. They are compelled to see that occasional contributions will not answer the purpose, where the demand for assistance is con tinual ; and if the amount of subscription, which they feel it to be their duty to ask, shall involve some personal or do mestic self-denial, they do not hesitate to say that such self denial may be amply re-paid by the strength given to public security ; and will be more than re-paid in the comfort it will afford hereafter. We take the liberty of stating that a copy of this appeal is to be forwarded to those individuals whose character and wealth seem to render them the proper objects of such an application; and we trust that we may be permitted to add your name to the list of subscribers, which will now be opened under this plan at the following Banking-houses : Messrs. Williams, Granville, and Co., Chester ; the Bank of Liverpool ; the Liverpool Commercial Bank ; and Messrs. Lloyd, Jones, and Co., Manchester. The Subscriptions will be considered payable fur the current year, 1840 ; and we beg leave respectfully, but earnestly, to solicit an answer to the present application before the end of November next.

Read with attention the following, especially " The Oath of Secrecy of the Jesuits," and see if it is not in keeping with the present movement in this country. From whence does the invisible but progressive advance of Popery and In fidelity arise but from the secret workings of this secret body ? The Jesuits are at this moment every where in Eng land, yet not seen any where. Will you not exert your in fluence with all your power to oppose and expose the sys tem? Believe it they are now diligently working out the very principles embodied in this awful oath—they are the framers of all that appears to be carried on by others for the subversion of the " Church and State"—and will you yield, without a struggle worthy of such a cause, all that is dear to you as Christians—Britons—Freemen ? No ! it cannot be. THE OATH OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP.--" N—, elect Bishop of M—, from henceforth will be faith ful and obedient to St. Peter the Apostle, and to the Holy Roman Church, and to our Lord Pope and his successors. I shall never to their prejudice or detriment, reveal to any man the counsel they shall intrust me with, either by them selves, their nuncios, or letters. The Roman Papacy, and the Regalities of St. Peter, I will help them to keep and maintain against all men: I will take care to conserve, de fend, increase, and promote the rights, honours, privileges, and authorities of the holy Roman Church, for our Lord the Pope and his successors. I will observe with all my power, and make others do the same, the rules of the Holy Fathers, the apostolic decrees, ordinations, dispositions, reservations, provisions, and mandates. I will persecute and fight against all heretics., schismatics, and rebels to our Lord the Pope and his successors. I shall visit personally the shrine of the apostle every third year," &c. &c. • -• THE OATH OF SECRECY OF THE JESUITS.—" 1, A. 8., now in the presence of Almighty God, the blessed Virgin Mary, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the blessed St. John the Baptist, the holy apostles St. Peter and St. P a ul, and the saints and secret host of heaven, and to you my ghostly father, do declare from my heart, without mental re servation, that his Holiness Pope Urban is Christ's Vicar- General, and is the true and only head of the catholic or uni versal church throughout the earth ; and that by the virtue of the keys of binding and loosing given to his Holiness by my Saviour Jesus Christ, he bath power to depose heretical kings, princes, states, commonwealths, and governments, all being illegal without his sacred confirmation, and that they may safely be destroyed ; therefore, to the utmost power, I shall and will defend this doctrine, and hi s H o li ness ' rights and customs, against all usurpers of the heretical (or pro testant) authority 'whatsoever •, especially against the now pretended authority and Church of England and all adher ents, in regard that they and she be usurpal and heretical, opposing the sacred mother Church of Rome. Ido renounce and disown any allowance as due to any heretical king, prince or state, named protestants, or obedience to any of their in ferior magistrates or officers. I do further declare, that the doctrine of the Church of England, of the calvinists, huguenots, and of other of the name of protestants, to be damnable, and they themselves are damned, and to be damned, that will not forsake the same. Ido further de clare, that I will help, ass i st, and advise all or any of his Ho laocre wherever I e n r y e ver otherl shall territorybe, in or k England, ng do m i l n re a l n an y d p , l s i c n o e t s l s a ' n a d g , e andnt s I shall come to, and do my utmost to extirpate tha heretical Protestants' Doctrine, and to destroy all their pretended powers, regal or otherwise. I do further promise and de • dare, that notwithstanding I am dispensed with to assume any religion heretical for the propagation of the mother Church's interests, to keep secret and private all her agents' counsels from time to time, as they intrust me, and not to divulge, directly or indirectly, by word, writing, or circum stance whatsoever ; but to execute all that shall be proposed, given in charge, or discovered unto me, by you my ghostly father, or any of this sacred convent. All which, I, A . 8 ., do swear by the blessed Trinity, and blessed Sacrament, which I am now to receive, to perform, and on my part to keep inviolably : and do call all the heavenly and glorious host of heaven to witness these my real intentions, to keep this my oath. In testimony hereof, I take this most holy and blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist : and witness the same further with my hand an d seal, in the face of this holy convent, this day of An. Dom." Extracted from Archbishop Usher. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—OnI Thursday last, a serious accident befel one of the workmen in the stone quarry o f Messrs. Beverley, at North Dean, near Halifax, by the f alling of a large stone several tons weight, when he was working in the bottom. In its downfall it went near him, and completely severed one arm from his body and the hand off the other arm, and otherwise seriously hurt him. He was conveyed to the Halifax Infirmary where he now lies without any hopes being entertained of his recovery,—.Leeds Intelligencer. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—A report hav ing got into circulation that this railway would he shut up for the purpose of repairing the damage done by the weather, the secretary has contradicted the statement. It is stated to be in contemplation to extend a branch of the North Midland Railway from Leeds, by way of Knares borough and Ripon, to join the Great North of England Railway at Carlton, near Thirsk. STOCKTON AND HARTLEPOOL RAILWAY.—The Stockton and Hartlepool Railway was opened to the coal trade of the district on Thursday week. The day being remarkably fine, the directors determined upon making an experimental trip to Hartlepool on the occasion, but no other display or cere mony took place, as the directors intend to defer any public demonstration until the general opening of the line for pas sengers and merchandise in the course of next month.— Newcastle Journal. DEVON AND CORNWALL RAILWAY.—At a meeting of the committee on Wednesday, it was announced that the subscriptions to the survey amounted to £1,375, though none of the towns had been canvassed except Falmouth, and that but imperfectly. A resolution was passed to inquire of Captain Moorsom the terms upon which he would undertake forthwith the necessary survey, so as to accomplish it in time to deposit the plans with parliament before the Ist of March, 1841; and the committee will meet again on Monday next, to receive Captain Moorsom's answer either by letter or in person. It was further resolved that a communication should be opened with the Exeter and Plymouth Railway committee, to ascertain the practicability of forming a junc tion of the two companies, upon terms of mutual advantage. —C'ornzeall Gazette. STATE OF TRADE LEEDS.—We have much satisfaction in being able to re port a greatly improved tone of feeling amongst our commer cial men. The late arrivals from America hold out strong hope of a good spring trade, and as the metropolit an money market becomes easier, domestic orders begin to flow in. The stocks of cloths on hand of all descriptions are very low, so that any movement for the better is instantly felt through all the ramifications of the trade. There was more business done in the Piece Halls last .Tuesday than on any T ues d ay for some time past ; and the prices of w oo l s were fi rmer, if not higher. Some other articles of mercantile consumption are looking up, and we have heard with m uc h sat i s f act i on that some manufacturers are beginning to emplo creased number of hands. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was only a moderate at tendance of buyers at this market on Thursday, and conse• quently a limited demand for manufactured goods, but forme rates were maintained. In the yarn market there was al average business done at previous prices. The wool marke was rather flat, the demand for both long and s h or t woo l s English or foreign, being very limited. —Leed s Intelligencer LANCASIIIRE.—The silk trade a t Mi ddleton and Fails worth has been brisker this last summer than for many -sear! past ; but within the last ten days it has become very slacl indeed, though not quite so dull as it was this time last year The hatting trade at Oldham is as good now as it has beer for many years. The operatives generally have full employ ment, but wages are lower. Trad e i n the cotton mills is dull but the machinery in most of the mills is in full operation yet the profits are next to nothing. G reat distress prevails, owing to the lowness of wages and the numbers thrown out of work by the improvements in machinery, and the conse quence is, that two or three families are compelled to live in one dwelling, leaving . upwards of 700 cottages unoccupied. Calico block printing in the neighbouring towns to Manches ter is yet in a depressed state, and the hands not half em ployed. Trade in the cotton factories is dull, with wages ex tremely low and food dear.—Preston Chronicle. THE MARKET FOR METALS remains in a most languid con dition, but there is nominally no redu c ti on i n th e va l ue o f any article, as though the warlike alarms have passed away, the value of lead and copper is sustained by the short supplies caused by the recent clearance of t h e market on French ac count. The holders of British Ir on , b eing generally wealthy, efuse to g i ve wa y in price, in con sequence of the expectation hat a better state of tfie money market may b e ant i c i pate d i n rhe course of a short time.

LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, Nov. 20 Sugar.—The demand still continues altogether confined to goo and tine descriptions, and the sales of B. P. scarcely reach 20 lihds. without any material alteration in prices ; but low brown qualities are quite neglected, and it would he difficult to effect sales to any extent, even at reduced rates. For fine white Bengal there is a a very good inquiry, and the sales amount to 5500 bags, chiefly from 86s 6d to 87s 6d per cwt.; 7000 bags of low damp brown were offered by auction on Thursday, but were withdrawn, there being no bidders at all approaching the valuations. No sales in Mauritius. Foreign.—Only 30 cases and 50 brls. of Brasil are reported, at 213 t o 25s per cwt. Ip Bonded Refined nothing has been done. Molasses.-30 puns. very ordinary Granada, in store, at a reduced price, is the only sale reported. Coffee.—Of plantation there arc no sales reported. 200 bags Java (gd duty) were sold at the quota tion. Of Foreign, 200 bags St. Domingo brought 435. Nothing done in Cocoa, Ginger or Pimento, but 200 bags black Pepper sold at 4id to 44d per lb. 200 bags fine white Bengal Rice have been sold at 16s per cwt. In bond, and 1000 pockets from the ship-side at 13s 3d per cwt. Rum.—The market is quiet, 100 puns. being the only sale ; fine Jamaica at Bs 10d per gallon, and Demerara, chiefly low strength, at the quotations, Tea.—The sales have been limited, in consequence of holders asking higher prices, which the Trade would not submit to; our quotations, therefore, remain unaltered. The public sales of Indigo commenced yesterday, and concluded thig day; of the 750 chests Bengal and Oude offered about 310 found buyers, at prices ranging principally from 3s gd to to 6s 7d, although in . a few instances the extremes of 2s and 7s were established. The ordinary and middling consuming qualities sold moderately; the middling and good shipping qualities realized comparatively better prices, but still not upon a par with the Lon don currency. 266 chests Bombay Fig were put up; but as there appeared no buyers, excepting at very low rates, the whole was bought in. 12 serous Caraccas brought Is to 5s 10d per lb for middling to good sobres. Sales of 112 chests Shell Lac having been made at 45s to 50s, 40 chests Lac Dye at Is to Is 3d, 24 bales Bengal Safflower at to £7 11s 6d for good and fine, and .e 2 12$ 6d to 15s for ordinary quality; 460 bags Bengal Turmeric sold at 22s to 255, 45 serons Cochineal at 45 gd to 5s 2d for black, and 4s to 4s 3tl for silver grains, and 70 boxes Tincal at 48s. Nitrate of Soda is selling at the extreme quotations, and several hundred bags taken. Saltpetre continues dull of sale ; 600 bags are reported at 27s 3d to 23s 6d per cwt. The sales of Dyewoods have been more extensive than for the last few weeks ; 300 tons Campeachy Logwood arc reported at lOs to £9 17s 6d; 400 tons Savanilla Fustic at £4 15s to .4'5 ss; 320 tons Lima Nicaragua Wood at £l2 is to .el 2 15s for sound, and 60 tons, all faults, at £ll 15s to £l2 as 6d; and 120 tons Angola Barwood, the price of which has not transpired. Several parcels of Turpentine have been brought forward by auction, but 1500 brls. only have been sold, for which Its 2d to 12s 4d was obtained.- American Tar still supports a higher price, 16s 9d to 17ss having been given for 500 brls. Montreal Pot Ashes arc rather higher, but the business of the week has been limited, arising, however, from a scarcity of new Ashes rather than from a want of demand. Pearl Ashes have been sought for, and purchases to the extent of 200 to 200 Ur's.. have been made at 29s to 295 6d per cwt. There has been rather more business doing in Elides, but generally at lower rates, especially for the East India Kips ; about 2300 salted Monte Video have been sold, at 5d sird forplain Ox, and Sid for Cows, 1000 dry Rio Grande, at Sid for sound, and Sd for Ist wormed, 1500 salted at 4id, 1000 dry salted Ceara at 6id, and 12,000 East India Kips, at I* for sound dry salted, lid for Ist rubbed brine, Old to 74d for 2d rubbed brine and dry salted, and 6d to aid per lb for 2d rubbed. Tobacco.—The sales have again been large, and amount this week to about 690 hhds., of which 100 were for Ireland, 70 for export, and the remainder to the Trade ; Kentucky stemmed are fully id per lb higher, other kinds without alteration. The reduced prices for Brimstone noticed last week have brought forward buyers more freely than for some time past; the sales since, have been about 300 tons, at to £lO per ton, according to quality. About 1700 bags Sicily Sumac, principally of old im portations, have been disposed of at lOs to 11s, with small parcels of new at 12s 6d. and 150 bags Oporto at 7s 6d per cwt. Of Argols about 30 casks Oporto red were sold at 303 to 333 per cwt. A few casks of brown Tartar have been sold at 51s, and of dis coloured at dOs to 70s. Cream of Tartar remains dull of sale, A cargo of 100 tons Valonia has been sold at £l6 per ton. The ex tensive damage done to Madders and Roots by the overflowing of the Rhone, it is expected will considerably affect the supply from France, and holders appear unwilling to sell at present rates ; 3s to 4s advance is required. Nothing worthy of notice has been done this week in Olive Oil, although there has been more inquiry. About 20 tuns Cod Oil at .£27 ss, and a few tuns pale Seal at former prices, are the only sales this week in Fish Oils. In Rape Oil there is no alteration, but Linseed is again a shade lower. A little reduction having been submitted to for Oil of Turpentine, buyers have come forward rather more freely, and a fair business has been done. In Palm Oil the transactions have been very limited, ahout 20 tons only having been sold during the week, chiefly at .4'35 to .€35 5s per ton, and 100 tons for delivery early next year, at about the present quotation. No sales of importance have transpired in Hemp or Flax ; 120 bales of Jute brought "15 lOs per ton, which is rather lower. For Tallow a little more inquiry has apeeared, but the transactions are confined to small lots, at from 50s to 51s per cwt. for yellow Candle, and sos for Ordessa, LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 20. The demand from the Trade continues on a limited scale, and the market has consequently throughout the week been in a very dull and inactive state. Although a positive decline cannot be noticed in the middling to fair qualities of American, the ordinary and better classes have been freely offered, and are a shade lower ; the same applies to common Surat, whilst the better kinds of Egyptian are rather higher. 500 bales of American taken on speculation.

Pickled Butter is dull at 91s to 925. Beef and Pork excessively flat, the exertion to bolster up prices, by a few unfortu nate speculators, being entirely fruitless. Good Beef l los to Ilas per tierce. Prime Pork 7os per barrel. Bacon has again experi. enced a reduction in price —the primest article is now worth only 50s per cwt.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 21 The imports of British Grain, &c., since this day se ' nnight, hate been moderate, consisting chiefly of 3,750 qrs. of Oats and 8,79 0 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. Duties have been paid, during the week, upon 3,400 qrs. of Barley, 1,220 qrs. Peas, and 1,30 lies. United States Flour. On Tuesday there was a decline of Sd to 3d per bushel on Wheat, with only a limited business. There has since been more firmness in the trade; and, at Friday's market, we had an improved demand for Foreign, some purchases have been made for shipment to Ireland and into the interior at fell prices. Irish new not so free of sale. The short supply of new Oats has enabled holders to obtain a small advance on the best rnealing qualities : 2s 11d to 3s per 451bs has been paid for ship ments from Tralee and Sligo. Barrel Flour has been in steady re• quest : United States at 335 to 335 6d, and Canadian 32s to 325 6d per Igfilbs. The best Irish Oatmeal has commanded 365 to 263 6d per 2401b5.
