If the new poor law had been followed by a general and enduring reduction of parochial burdens, still that change would have been deemed of very equivocal value, if accompanied by the growth and diffusion of feelings, which in their exercise are incompatible with the security of property. Now no one may deny that the new poor law has been all along regarded with ab horrence by the labouring classes. Some persons may deem .the popular feeling on this subject exceedingly unwise : but as to the existence of the feeling, no one can entertain a doubt. The labourers of England be lieve that they 16.ve, by means of the new poor law, been robbed of their elder and stronger title to paro- chial relief in circumstances of distress; and such a belief is dangerous to the institution of property. Look to the actual result ; let that result be compare with the prognostications of the authors of the ne poor law. These " philosophers" promised us, tha i the " moral character" of the poor would " be ele vated" by the operation of their nostrums. They now declare that habits of dishonesty amongst labourers are spreading so widely, that nothing may impart security to property but the establishment of a rural police. in this statement. rightly interpreted, is to he found the condemnation of the new poor law. If under the operation of the new poor law, the morality of the la bouring classes has not been improved, the new poor law is admitted by its authors to be a fraud. But the rates, too, are rising. In every quarter may be heard complaints of the increasing burdens on ratepayers. Look at the vast increase, too, in the amount of private contributions for the relief of the poor—for many of the higher and middle classes dis like the new poor law, as much as labourers do ; and these benevolent individuals have not been slow to as sist unfortunate persons, who, but for relief at the hands of private generosity, must have taken refuge in the abhorred union workhouses. Look, too, at the monstrous sums paid to commissioners and their su bordinates ;—look to the impending cost of a rural police ; and look to the stipendiary rural magistracy that will assuredly follow. The gentlemen of Eng land—the owners of the soil—will, if the centralising system shall be carried out, be at no distant period displaced and set aside. The offices and honours which belong to them by hereditary right will shortly be lavished on the creatures of the Home-office; and let the country gentlemen be once stripped of their magisterial influences, and deposed from their national rank as leaders of the labourers ;—let this revolution, we repeat, be accomplished, and an organised attack on the property of the landowners will be attempted forthwith. The corn laws will be assailed then as they have never hitherto been assailed ; and a rural police will be found effectual in carrying out the views which an " open question" government entertains on that subject. THE LONDON UNIVERSITY (From the Standard.) We received yesterday from the Souse of Commons printer, probably the most extraordinary volume ever issued by the authority of a legislative assembly. It is entitled " Papers—London University," and it con tains 319 folio pages, very closely printed : two-thirds of these 319 pages are bestowed upon the minutes of the senate at its several meetings, and the remainder are occupied with a full report of the examination questions and papers for pass and for honours—a hash of interrogatories in history, ethical and natural philo sophy, theology, mixed up with problems in geometry, algebraical equations, propositions in physiology, mid wifery, physic, surgery, chemistry, and mineralogy, and copious quotations of passages to be translated from Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, French, &c. The questions in the few departments of knowledge with which we have any slight acquaintance seem to be droll enough, and remind one of the playful little pamphlets published in the bona fide Universities, en titled " Pluck Papers." Judging from what we see of the examinations in the London University, by the faithful record which .Parliament has been kind enough to publish, the scale of learning is not pitched very high by the senate, as we may hereafter show, if some of our young friends do not spare us the trouble of a selection ; and whoever reads the papers will not be surprised that about one-third of the pupils are re turned as taking honours. The puzzle is to under stand how the remaining two-thirds fail to shine in an examination, which few schoolboys need fear to en counter. The question for consideration, however, is the publication of this farrago by Parliament at the public expense. - What would be thought of a parlia mentary publication of the Oxford and Cambridge and Dublin papers—and they would be really worth some thing ? The answer to our question is, that " the learning" of the London University " has been let fly upon the "public" at a cost of four or five hundred pounds, upon the motion of that great scholar and strict economist, Mr. Joseph Hume. THE USURPING GOVERNMENT. (From the Edinburgh .rening Post.) The whig-radical, O'Connell-Melbourne ministry must now think seriously of putting their house in or der. It is utterly impossible that they can be allowed mtich longer to carry on the government in the present condition of the country. None of their party papers —not even their most selfish and unscrupulous parti zans—will dare to pretend that they now possess a ma jority in their favour, so far as the constituencies are concerned. What signifies the support which they continue to scrape together in the House of Com mons, small and precarious as it is, when they have the stark-staring fact before them, that, if the people at large were appealed to, their opponents would com mand, to a dead certainty, a majority of nearly, if not more, than one hundred against the Bedchamber ad ministration ? And, moreover, of what avail is the countenance of the court, faithless as it usually is, when put in the scales against the determined and en ergetic feeling of the country. Yet on what other means does this miserable ministry of shreds and patches depend for the prolongation of their degraded existence ? We put the question, but we need not pause for a reply. The answer—a death-knell to whiggish ear s —i s to be found in the results of the recent registrations in England, and. the not less unmistakeable evidence of the municipal elections. As we have recently recorded, the whig-radicals have suffered the most galling and undeniable defeat in the boroughs of England. W e point to the case of Liverpool as an example of the progress which the conservative cause has made and is making in the sister kingdom. We believe that in every considerable town similar success has attended the efforts of the conservatives—a fact which we defy the whig-radical journals to disprove or even to con tradict. THE EXPECTED BREVET.—We believe it is now under stood that no brevet will take place in the army or navy. The birth of a prince or princess can offer no justifiable reason for a general promotion, when the exigencies of the public service do not require such an addition to the national bur dens as would be entailed by such a promotion.—Government Evening Print. SPAWN or THE SALMON.—Mr. Cornelius Evans, of New port, the Welsh Walton, gives the following particulars of a spawn of a salmon, taken from a fish exposed for sale in New port market on Saturday week. Mr. E. found by computa tion, that in a quarter of an ounce weight of the spawn there were contained 73 globules ; by which it would appear that the aggregate mass consisted of no less a number than 10,804 globules, each containing the germ of a future salmon. Tak ing the number as 10,000, allowing the odd 804 to go for loss, supposing eaeh to have come to mature growth and per fection, and averaging 14 pounds each, we have the astound ing amount of 62-i tons of salmon permanently destroyed.—.

I have also endeavoured to point out that tie composition of these substances is principally carbon aV... water, and that if the carbon was previously united with oxygen, that oxygen or the greater portion of it must be placed to the credit of the renovating process which is continually going on in our atmosphere ; and when we consider the composition of carbonic acid, the amount of oxygen thus eliminated amounts to a great sum total. I have also advised all who undertake the task of comput ing the advantages derived from vegetable life, to do so, not from minute and partial experiments, but to calculate the re sults obtainable from mature vegetation, as giving much more correct data than these minute investigations can point out. We have obtained from these investigations the interesting knowledge that vegetables during sunshine give out oxygen in its pure form, and carbonic acid during the night, but fur ther than this, the experiments are not available, and the cause of a great discrepancy-between the accounts of different experimenters has arisen from the difficulty of placing vege tables to be operated upon under equally favourable circum stances, and often from the necessary confinement requisite in performing the experiments, the health of the plant has been injured, thereby causing the difference in the results. I consider therefore that we are more likely to obtain correct data, as I have observed before, from the analysis of those which are of mature growth. If we take the composition of carbonic acid, we shall find that in 100 parts it only contains about 28.277 of carbon, the remainder being oxygen. It may perhaps be interesting to inquire what quantity of carbon be comes annually' fixed during twelve months from the various crops of grain, not calculating the straw. The quantity that is annually grown in Great Britain may be computed in round numbers at fifty millions of quarters, it is not necessary to be quite exact in this point, but to quote from the best authorities, as the' point I wish to establish does not rest upon minute statistical detail, but upon the broad principle that the quantity of carbon thus taken from our atmosphere is much more than is generally computed. I have made this observation so as to prevent any misunder standing, all I wish is to draw the chemist from his own la boratory and compare his results with those which the more extended laboratory of nature presents. Barley, on account of its extensive use in malt, has been analysed with more attention than some of the others, and I shall gi'e the results of two of them— Starch.. 80 pints. Starch.. 88 Gluten . 6 do. Gluten . 3 Sugar .. 7 do. Sugar .. 4 Husk .. 7 do. Gum .. 5 Wheat contains about 24 pints of gluten, and between 40 to 60 starch, rye 61, oats 59, so that we may calculate the quan tity of starch at about 60 per cent. To obtain something near an average, I have taken the weight of wheat at 601bs. per bushel, and the quantity 20,000,000 of quarters, and those of other grain at 30,000,000, averaging the bushel at 491bs. Thus, then, wheat 20,000,000 quarters. 160,000,000 bushels 60 11,760,000,000 9,600,000,000 as above 21,360,000,000 lbs. Averaging the quan tity of starch at 60 per cent., and the quantity of carbon in starch at 45 per cent., we shall have I 21,360,000,000 5(4 10 1-5 10,680,000,000 2,136,000,000 25 1 t 12,816,000,000 lbs. starch, or 5,767,200,000 lbs. carbon. Without considering the other ingredients, which also con tain a large quantity of carbon, as may be observed by refer ring to the composition of some of the proximate principles, as detailed before. If we take the potatoe we shall find it contain about 22 per cent. of starch, and that an acre will yield from 8 to 10,0001bs. bulk, it follows that as much or more carbon is converted into starch as in an acre of wheat. 100 parts of pease yielded 50 starch, 3 sugar, and 4 gluten. 1000 „ turnips give about 34 sugar and 7 mucilage. „ carrots give about 95 sugar and 3 mucilage. Again, if we take into consideration the large quantities of hay that are annually grown and carried off the land, averag ing from 1 to 14 ton per acre of dry vegetable substance, and the quantities of grass consumed by cattle, all of which con tain large quantities of carbon, it is almost impossible to imagine from whence such a quantity can arise, as the quan tity capable of detection in the atmosphere amounts almost to a mere trifle ; therefore I think we may conclude with what we set out to prove, that, instead of animal respiration and deterioration from combustion being a source of injury to our atmosphere, it proves to be the reverse, as an equiva lent is found in the vegetable kingdom compensating any apparent injury it may have sustained. We must not omit to state, that large quantities of car bonic acid are parried off by water, down our rivers, &c. I have only one observation more to make, and that is with reference to ancient coal formations. The analysis by Dr. Thompson is— Caking Coal. Splint. Cherry Coal. Cannel Coal. Carbon.... 75.28 75.00 74.45 64.72 Hydrogen.. 4.18 6.25 12.40 21.56 Nitrogen .. 15.96 6.25 10.22 13.72 Oxygen .. 4.58 12.50 2.93 0.00 100.00 100.00 From the analysis of Dr. Ure a rather different result is given. Thus in splint coal he found that it contained 26.66 per cent. of oxygen : Thompson only calls it 12.50. Again, in cannel coal Dr. Ure gives 21.9 oxygen—Thompson 0.00; but, granting the larger quantity of oxygen, what is it when compared with the large proportion of carbon and hydrogen ? for in the splint coal, when we have combined the six pro portionals hydrogen with 6 X 8 of oxygen to form water, or 6 hydrogen added to 48 oxygen, we shall find that there is not sufficient oxygen for the hydrogen. Now this corre sponds with what I previously remarked, that if, as is ad mitted by most geologists, the coal formations abound in the natural order of plants called the Coniferm, (these being of a resinous character, such as the pine, &c.,) in their growth both the carbon and hydrogen should part with their oxygen to the atmosphere. So that, if we take the present state of vegetable existences, or go back to former periods, we find the same fact established, viz., that the vegetable kingdom has always been the great renovator of our atmosphere. Naphtha being one of the principal of the bituminous sub stances, the analysis by Saussure consists of carbon 87.21, hydrogen 12.79, making together 100.00 containing no oxy gen ; and, as a proof of this, that highly combustible and oxidizable metal, potassium, may be preserved in it, which it could not if it contained oxygen. ~. The effect which mosses produce I have not at present an opportunity of stating, but no doubt, when fully investigated, their economy will be found equally interesting and useful. J. H. S. WRIGHT AND CO (From the Morning Herald.) Numerous haC Weenihe7peculltioni,ell or ill-founded, indulged in by the press, and the rnmours not less so, in re gard to the failure of Messrs. Wright and Co., the bankers. On such subjects accuracy and the avoidance of exaggeration, are the objects most desirable to be arrived at, and therefore generally it would be the preferable course to wait for autho rised statements on the part of those concerned, at least for a fitting period. This has been the reason why, beyond the announcement of the failure, as made public by the circular of the house, and the causes therein enumerated, it has not been deemed necessary to advert to the repots in circulation respecting the causes of the failure and the probable conse quences. Now, that attention has been much attracted to the subject on the one hand, whilst on the other no authorised statement of the bank's affairs has been made public, it can not be considered improper that some notice should be taken, and some facts illustrative of the bank's difficulties be made public. Mr. John Wright has made the confession humilia ting enough for himself, though exculpatory for his partners, that he alone by indiscreet, or rather extravagant speculation on his own account, has been the origin of all the mischief. Among those extraordinary sins of speculation of which he reports himself guilty, it may be noted that not the least extravagant were the establishment projected or carried into effect of two foreign banks, the one at Athens, the other at Havana. It is quite elearthat the raw material of speculation in these two instances must have been of very elastic quality, or of very opposite fibre. For the establishment of a bank at Athens could be justified on no other grounds than the total absence of capital or credit there, in a metallic or any other form, the void of which therefore it was profitable and expe dient to fill up with issues of paper money. 'Whilst on the direct contrary the project of the Havana bank could only be accounted for on the plea that there was an abundance of hard dollars and doubloons to overflowing, and that it would be no less gainful than easy to relieve the people of this superfluous load of gold and silver by getting them to part with it for paper. It happened, however, that the Havana people could not be persuaded of the superior or equal value of flimsy paper with metals, and so the bank might as well have shut up shop from the very first day of its opening for any business it could do, or profit it could make. Mr. Wright, moreover, was an extensive dealer in lands as well as banks, and it was mainly to him that the colony of South Australia owed its existence, as he was about the largest subscriber for taking land lots and accumulating town and country sections, not only there in deed but subsequently in the new scheme of New Zealand. Whether he was concerned in any of the banking speculations for supplying the settlers in those countries with paper money in addition to land does not appear, but if territorial possessions abroad could enrich an individual and be convertible into stuff for constituting banking stock, undoubtedly Mr. Wright's titles must run over no small extent of her- Majesty's dominions beyond seas among kangaroos and cannibals. One of the first large operations which brought Mr. Wright prominently before the public eye was the project for a Russian loan of large amount some years ago, which was rendered abortive through the decisively expressed repugnance against the design, and the odium not unattended with serious danger to bank credit which would attend its undertakers. Since that time Mr. Wright's private room at the bank became the head-quarters for schemers of all sorts and sizes, and where any scheme, however strange, wild, and incompatible with banking busi ness, was sure of favour if not acceptance. In the case of Hammersley's bank, the speculations of the partners were at least confined to mercantile operations on their own ac count, among which may be noticed one, not before men tioned among those talked of, an extensive establishment on the other side of the water for the fabrication of brandy spirit out of potatoes, according to a new process, and by a new still introduced by some French adventurers. Upon this losing scheme it is supposed some £BO,OOO or £lOO,OOO was thrown away. But independent of private adventures on his sole account and charge, Mr. Wright's name became attached to a large number of company undertakings. in which the expected premiums on shares evidently formed no small part of the returns in the way of profit which were looked for. Many of them were of an equivocal, not to say of a discreditable kind, and gave rise to serious questions on some occasions of the credit and solvency of the bank itself. It is well known that the bank was the great money agent of the leading proprietors and capitalists, great and small, and of institutions public and private, appertaining to the Roman Catholic interest of the kingdom. Its des pots from these particular classes were enormous, and the knowledge of the fact with the reputation consequent of un limited command of money that way contributed above all to sustain and elevate the credit of the bank in spite of the discredit attaching to Mr. Wright's operations. The state ment of £50,000 as the amount in hand on the Duke of Norfolk's account is however believed to be erroneous. It is understood not to exceed £28,000, which is still a large sum. It is considered, however, that the Earl of Shrews bury has been, if he be not now among the largest, or pro bably the largest depositor, and his account is said sometimes to have exhibited as much as £200,000 or £300,000 to his credit. What the balance may be now is not stated, but long before the stoppage of the bank it was not an unfrequent remark that but for Lord Shrewsbury's account and balance it could not have held on so long by some years, in the face of Mr. John Wright's extraordinary speculations. Several of the poorer pious institutions of the Roman Catholics will be very severe sufferers on this occasion, even to their ruin, although doubtless the majority of the leading depositors of that persuasion are too substantial to be materially injured by the event. (From the Morning Post.) Mr. John Wright was known to every man of business in the City as a most sanguine person, and a promoter of many of the bubble companies and foreign loan schemes that have been thrust upon the patience of the over-credulous people of this country. The property of Mr. Anthony Wright, or Biddnlph, which name he took on the death of a rich uncle of that name, and who is the elder brother of Mr. John Wright, has been commonly estimated at from £14,000 to £16,000 a-year, the whole being derived from the relative in question, besides the sum of £lOO,OOO, more or less, which was left him by his father. On the death of the uncle Thomas Wright (the banker), of Fitzwalter's, in Essex, Mr. Anthony Wright came into the firm, and with his ample funds, supported as they were by a high and respected cha racter, but, more than all, by the magnificent prospects sub sequently realised, on the death of Mr. Bidduiph, gave a weight to the bank which procured for it the confidence, not of the Roman Catholic nobility and gentry alone, but of a very extensive Protestant connection also. Mr. Anthony Wright took no active share in the business, but resided on his estates, highly respected, and abounding in wealth. Mr. Robinson, the father of one of the present partners, died about a year since, and was reputed very rich. He had, however, several children, and his property may possibly be no longer available, but is perhaps divided, and withdrawn altogether from the Covent-garden concern, excepting only such portion of it as may have been bequeathed to M. Henry Robinson, his eldest son and successor in it. The other partners, Mr. Jerningham (grandson of Mr. Thomas Wright, of Fitzwalter's, Mr. Jerningham's father having married a Miss Wright) and Mr. Beetle, or Bittle, who was many years a clerk in the house, and a man of considerable ability and most enduring and laborious habits of business, could neither of them, it is presumed, have possessed much independent property. Such were the elements of which the establishment was composed, and it is but due to the several partners to observe that, with the one single exception, more prudent and steady men never existed. The Roman Catholic nobility and gentry are for the most part very wealthy, and by no means prodigal in their expen diture, but in the case of a majority of them, quite the reverse. The failure will, therefore, not seriously affect them. Of the religious communities who deposited their moneys in the hands of Messrs. Wright, some are needy enough. It is considered that at least twenty of the secular clergy establish mentsid education in England did the same. In addition to the special Catholic and Protestant support of the house, it enjoyed the confidence of an extensive class of rich and money-making people located in and about Covent-garden. The Protestant connection also was, we will venture to say, equal, on the average, to that of the London bankers gene rally. How lamentable is it, then, that so valuable an insti- ' tution, as it may be termed, should have been overturned, and so many splendid properties shipwrecked, through_ the blind infatuation—the inordinate speculative propensities—of one man ! It was shown in a recent proceeding before one of the com missioners of bankrupts that Messrs. Wright and Co. were crediters for £60,000 on the estate of Mr. Denew, the auc tioneer, of Charles-street, Berkeley-square. This is a large sum, but is said to be well guaranteed. Yet much of it will, of course, be squandered in law. STATE OF TRADE LEEDS.—Saturday last was a bad day in both of the Cloth Halls; but on Tuesday rather more business was done at a slight advance in some cases, though very slight. Buyers only take what they need; yet the moneyed houses will pur chase on any inducement. In the warehouses there is not much doing. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a fair attendance of buyers at this market on Thursday, but owing to the density of the fog very little business was done, the merchants being unable to discern accurately the qualities of the goods. In the yarn market the transactions were as extensive as is usual at this season of the year, principally for home con sumption, and prices were fully sustained. The Wool market was dull, but in other respects there was no material change. BARNSLEY. — There is at present a prospect of continued employment for weavers of drills in this town. Several of the manufacturers have good orders in hand which promise to continue over the winter season an average number of weavers in full employment. ' Lawcasninz.—The Cotton trade at Rochdale has this week become more gloomy, several of the largest millowners having announced their intention of beginning to allow their hands to work only four days per week. The woollen busi ness is not so brisk as it was a month ago, the hands in seve ral power-loom factories at Royton have already commenced the short time system. The silk and cotton weaving at Leigh are both in a depressed state ; it was calculated last week that there were one thousand five hundred and up wards of looms that had no work in them. The woollen cloth trade at Saddleworth is as good as can be expected at this season of the year ; the operatives are doing moderately, with respect to employment, but wages are low, and profits upon all kinds of goods are less than we ever knew them to be. At Boltdn, the great demand for goods which has ex isted during the last two or three weeks still continues with out any material alteration. The demand for some descrip tions of counterpanes is so great that many manufacturers are not able to meet the wants of their customers ; this, how ever, does not produce any extraordinary effect upon the prices, manufacturers being greatly in want of money, and those who have stocks are anxious to part with them. _Fancy goods of almost every description continue to be in brisk de mand. The machinery in the cotton mills within the town is in full operation, and many of the masters are extremely brisk, having very extensive orders in hand, none, however, are realizing any important advance in regard to prices. The shopkeepers continue to make loud complaints of the scarcity of money, and of the distress which exists amongst the work ing classes. It will require a long time before the labouring population will attain to that state of comfort and plenty which is requisite to the health, happiness, and well being of society. The Bishop of St. David's has contributed £2OO towards he rebuilding of Abergwilly Church, South Wales. - MIRACULOUS AND EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM THE WRECK OF A VESSEL.—I have this day re ceived information of a French vessel having been driven on shore, bottom upwards, on Thursday, the 19th instant, on the rocks off Scilly, during a heavy gale—reported to be from Gallipoli for Havre, with oil. Some of the islanders having perceived the wreck, proceeded to ascertain the par ticulars and save the materiale, and when they gained the top (literally the bottom) of thevessel, they observed several holes, as if bored with a gimblet, which in discovering they cut a larger place, and upon one man putting his hand in to ascertain the cargo, it was immediately seized, and a voice was heard to exclaim, " For God's sake save us !" The parties directly made the hole wider, being assured that there existed some human beings in this truly distressing and novel situation, when to their inexpressible surprise, they found the master and three seamen, and soon released them from that barque which has so often borne them over many a rough and boisterous sea,but which was so likely to prove their coffin in the mighty deep, but for this providential and timely aid. They also took out two of their fellow-seamen who had died previously, one from exhaustion, the other from a cask of oil falling on him at the time the vesse l struc k on t h e rocks, and perceiving daylight, went to make another attempt to release himself and fellow-sufferers from so extraordinary and distressing a situation. These two poor fellows were interred on Friday, at Sicily. When the sea struck and upset the vessel, the remainder of the crew were unfortu nately washed overboard, and _met with a wa t ery grave. It may be necessary to explain the reason of the holes in the bottom of the vessel, which were bored by the poor unfortu nate creatures for the purpose of giving air to them within. Such are the facts that have been stated to me by a gentle man, who received this information from the master of the pilot sloop belonging to Sicily, fro m which p lace she s a iled on Friday afternoon, and arrived at i Dartmouth yesterday..... Correspondent of the Shipping Gazette. FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.) Pekins, satins, velvets, levantines, and moires d'Orient foulards, are the materials now in demand, and the favourite colours are seabieuse, orange and black, and amethyst. Cloth dresses and redingotes are preparing in Paris ; they are made full in the skirt, with tight bodies and sleeves ornamented with buttons. Tight sleeves are becoming very general, of the Amidis form, with two seams ; the skirts are very full round the waist ; the corsages with three seams continue in favour ; they are much improved by a treble row of buttons, which continue down the skirt. Gimp trimmings are much worn. Cachemire dresses are ornamented with velvet but tons of the same colour. Chambery gauze is very fashionable for young ladies' dresses, embroidered with silk, silver, or gold. The guipure lace of large and heavy patterns is quite out of favour, but Brussels lace and blond have lost none of their value. Lace scarfs, both black and white, are very fashionable ; some are also of embroidered muslin, lined with pink gauze, and trim med with lace. Mantilles of embroidered organdy, with pa godes to match, form pretty additions to a silk dress. Plain cambric collars, edged with Valenciennes, are in favour; also the cols russes, amazon, and cols k la Francaise. Bournous, mantelets, chales manteaux, and mantes edged with velvet, and short manteaux of flannel with hood, &c, &c, are all in demand now ; the most elegant are the manteaux crispin of velvet, lined with white silk and trimmed with fur. Mantelets are made in Paris of the long pelegine- form, with points terminating with a tassel, trimmed all round with a ruche. Furs are much in demand from the boa to the trim ming on the dress, and muffs inflated with air instead of being wadded are much approved. Straight scarfs of velvet, wad ded and quilted in large checks, are very fashionable in Paris ; the only trimming is a rich fringe at each end, or sometimes two or three rows of black lace. Velvet is the favourite ma terial for bonnets, and black is preferred ; velours perlii is also used, ornamented with flowers or feather of the same colour. Capotes of velvet mixed with satin have been introduced in Paris, also capotes a coulisses of white velours epingle., and satin bonnets covered with a resille of twisted silk. Chenille is in favour for bonnet ornaments. Evening coiffures par take much of the Oriental style.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE FROM TIIE LEEDS GAOL.—On Wednesday week, about a quarter past one o'clock in the afternoon, whilst Mr. Lancaster, gaoler, was engaged in the business of the rotation-office, a young man named George Roberts, who was in custody on a charge of robbing his lodgings, made his escape of the gaol, under circumstances, which any person inspecting the place would pronounce ut terly impossible. The task however was accomplished, and according to the evidence of several other prisoners who wit nessed the escape, but gave no alarm, without any assistance whatever. It appears that the fugitive got upon the sill of the first window, which is about seven feet from the ground, by means of standing upon the door of an out-house, and from thence he succeeded in climbing over a row of revolving spikes, and then to the top of the palhsading, on which are triple-headed spikes with very sharp points. He would have to stand upon the revolving spikes, in order to attain the top of the pallisading, which is a distance of about three feet and a half. The most difficult and hazardous part of the task now remained to be accomplished. The distance of the sill of the top window is upwards of six feet from the pallisades, and incredible as it may appear, the prisoner, like a cat, sprung from the top of these triple-headed spikes. where the footing must have been precarious, and succeeded in grasping the iron stanchions which surround the former place ! ! ! The window is in an oblique direction from the spikes, so that the task must have been much more difficult to per form. Had the attempt failed, the prisoner must inevita bly have been impaled on the spikes, and encountered a dreadful death. Having got upon the top window, he seized hold of the spout, which is about three feet distant, and thus mounted tht roof of the building. He had then seven feet to drop, in order to place himself upon the roof of Messrs. Walsh and Dunbar's marble warehouse, which he effected without any difficulty. Mr. Dunbar observed a man looking down, and immediately went to the gaoler, to ask him if he had lost a prisoner, stating what he had seen on the roof. Mr. Lancaster replied in the negative, and a party went upon the roof to see if anybody was there, but it would seem that in the meantime Roberts had dropped into Wine-street, and so effected his escape. He was observed by one person in the street, but the individual appears to have been so amazed at the adventure, that he suffered the prisoner to alight on the ground, and saw him run off in the direction of the Infirmary, 'before he communicated the fact to the gaoler. He was seen in the town at half-past four the same day, in company with a gang of well-known thieves ; but since that time the efforts of the police to discover the place of his retreat have been unavailing. It appears, on an exa mination of the other prisoners, that Roberts tried the prac ticability of the escape at breakfast-time the same morning,and, according to th e i r ev id ence , h e ran u p the wall like a cat. He is nineteen years of age, and of diminutive stature, not being more than 5 feet 4 inches in height.—Leeds Mer cnry. Conx LAWS.—The subject of the corn laws was brought before the Ripon Operative Conservative Society at one of its recent meetings by Mr. Vickers, one of the members, in a very interesting and, we may add, very convincing lecture. After a short sketch of the history of legal enactments to protect and encourage the growth of corn, the lecturer took a general view of the question of repeal, as it would affect the two grand divisions of the population, those dependent on agriculture and those dependent on manufactures, with regard to their dealings with each other, and the dealings of the latter with the corn exporting countries, in which he clearly shewed the impossibility of the demand for our pro ductions from abroad even equalling, much less exceeding, the deficiency which would be occasioned in the demand for domestic consumption by the depressed state of our agricul turists, unless the price of our goods were lower. Prices could be lowered only by reducing p ro fit s an d wages , an d this reduction must still further decrease demand in the home market. The result, therefore, of a repeal of the corn laws would be, that one.half of the population would be brought into a state of great distress, whilst the other half would either receive no benefit at all, or one which they could enjoy only for a-very short time, and ultimately all would suf fer. He supported his argument by reference to a body of well-authenticated facts, from Jacob, Porter, Wilson's Anti- Corn-Law Treatise, ane many other sources, in the course of which he answered and refuted the objections usually ad vanced, such as that the laws were made for the benefit of a few; that they obstruct commerce, &c, and shewed that the present law was both beneficial in operation and just in principle, and that it was decidedly , preferable to a fixed duty ; and concluded the lecture, which had riveted the attention of the audience for more than an hour, by addres sing the tradesmen and operatives before him, in these words :—" In Ripon, and in every place similarly circum stanced, whatever channels the money may pass through which comes into the tradesmen's till, the source is the land; and here at least it must be so. The most sangine free tra der cannot picture to himself the rise of manufacturing esta blishments here or the opening of channels of commerce. No man can point to a new set of customers to supply the deficiency consequent on the red uce d expen di ture o f embar rassed landlords, ruined farmers, and starving labourers. The interests of trade and agriculture are here indissoluble— they must stand or fall together. No rivalry can take place between them unless the mass of the population were brought to a state bordering on destitution, when the case should be that of the back versus the belly, in the choice of purchase between the first and secondary necessaries of life. In this rivalry the tradesman and the artisan would certainly come off the worst. And this choice of the de s tit u te should b e that of their own families , let th em suppor t th e i n t eres t that supports them. This is demanded of them not as a case of disinterested friendship for th ose amon g whom thei r lot has been cast, or of gratitude for past favours, or of sympathy for the distresses of others, but one of pure self interest. They must maintain the corn laws for their own sakes—they must be anti-repealers, because a repeal would bring ruin upon themselves." —Leeds Intelligencer.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 30. Our market to-day was largely supplied with Beef and Mutton, which was in good demand, and no alteration in the price of Beef, but Mutton a little lower—prime Beef hid, middling Sid, inferior ad, best Weathers bid, middling and inferior sid to ad. Number of Peasts, 1821 ; Sheep, Spas. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 30 There is a visible improvement in our Butter market to-day,— both in price and demand,—several sales having been made at an advance of fully as per cwt. Belfast arc now worth 1025, Speculators appear more inclined to touch Butters of a secondary character, and uninspected Bunbridge find favour at 92s to 9:1. In pickled Butters, a fair business is doing at our last quotation. Nothing at all doing in provisions. Bacon is is to 2s per cwt. higher, with a better demand. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, Nov. 27 Sugar.—The demand is still very limited, and the sales are con fined to 200 hhds. B. P., chiefly good and tine, without material change in prices. 550 bags Bengal have been taken at 80s for tine, and 80s to 8:35 6d for low to middling white. Nothing done in Mauritius. Foreign.—The sales are confined to a few cases and brls. at former prices. Bonded Refined.—No sales. No trunsac tions to notice in Molasses. Coffee.—The demand for Plantation continues very limited, only 40 casks Jamaica have been disposed of, and at rather lower rates, 150 bags Ceylon brought 755. and a small Parcel of Mocha 156 s per cwt. Of Foreign, 500 bags St. Domingo, for export, were taken at 43s per cwt. A small lot of ordinary Pimento sold at 3d, and 340 bags black pepper at 32(1 to 4d per lb. Nothing done in Cocoa or Ginger. Rice.—No sales of Bengal ; a small lot of dressed Carolina sold at 365, duty paid. The business in Rum is limited to 50 puns. of Demerara and Jamaica, 5s lld to Os 5d for the former, and so ad for tha latter, 23 per cent. 0. P., with 30 puns. of Foreign, a per cent 0. P., at as 4(1 per gallon. _ . . Tea.—There has been a good inquiry during the week, at im proving prices; but there is very laic offering on the market, in consequence of holders standing out for higher rates. Since the public sale of Indigo on the Igth instant, there has been some demand, and about 30 chests sold at a slight improve ment, and 60 chests Bombay Fig at 25 per lb. The sales in other East India Produce have been to a very moderate extent; 10 serous of silver Cochineal, at 4s 3d to 4s 4d ; Bengal Turmeric at 13s 641 ; blue Galls at 655; 10 chests Diamond 1 Lac Dye at 21s per lb. For Saltpetre the inquiry is limited, and only 200 bags sold, at 27s 3d to 21)s, with about 500 bags Nitrate of Soda at 20s to 21s per cwt. Dyewoods.—The sales of Logwood are 100 tons Campeachy at 12s 6d to .eg 15s, and 50 tons Honduras at 47 5s to £7 les ; 120 tons Cuba Fustic have been sold, but the price has not trans pired, 30 tons Savanilla at £5 per ton, and so tons Caboon Bar wood at formsr prices, The sales of Turpentine are rather extensive this week; they amount to 3600 brls., at 11s for old and for old anti inferior, 12s 3d to 12s 6tl for good, and 13s 3d for a parcel of 400 'iris. of very superior quality. No sales of Tar reported. The demand for Montreal Pot Ashes has been but some little advance has been obtained, 2gs 6d having been o..tained for several parcels, and 30s for one or two small lots. Pearl Ashes have been sold at 2gs 6d to the extent of about 350 brls. Hides.— The market has been dull for all descriptions, and the sales are limited to 384 dry salted Ceara at 54d 420 wet salted at sd. 206 Jamaica at .53d to 54d per lb : and 4600 salted Monte Video Horse at 13s 6 , 1 to 12s 7d each. Tobacco still continues in demand, the sales this week reach 5501111(1s., of which about 200 were for Ireland, a few on speculation and for Scotland, and the remainder, or about 250 lilids„ to Manufacturers; no change in prices. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 28 The imports of British Grain, &c., for the past week, have been very light, being, for the most part, comprised in :5,850 qrs of Wheat, 4,140 qrs of Oats, and 4,470 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. The only arrivals from abroad consist of 50 brls of Flour from the United States and 2,530 brls from Canada. There have been realised from Bond, during the same period, 1,069 qrs of Wheat, 260 qrs of Barley, and 1,530 qrs of l'eas. Since the date of our last report, when we had occasion to note rather a better demand and full prices for Wheat, there has not been much animation in the trade. Yesterday we had a few buyers at market, and, had sales been pressed, a somewhat lower range of prices would have ensued. Flour has met a moderately fair demand : United States sweet at 335 to 345, Canadian at :12s to 32s 6d : sour parcels have been sold at 305 per barrel. The very limited supplies of Oats, and Oatmeal have enabfed the importers to realize rather higher rates : 3s Id per 4801bs has been paid for good Sligo Oats, well-dried, and 263 gd per 2401bs for the best Meal. The purchases, however, have been confined to the wants of necessitous buyers. The market is bare of malting Barley : fine English chevalier would bring 40s to 423 per imperial quarter. Most of the recent arrivals of Foreign Oats have been cleared off at 410 to 43s per quarter. No change in the value of Beans. A few hundred barrels of United States Flour, in bond, have been sold at 24s per brl.
