Should the great industrial question now L m t .ding be brOught to anything like a final and I le isfactory issue, the shortness in the stocks of It 4 , 11 Y all kinds of produce on hand, will lead to v e 'llrtber advance in prices, which will also be A 4 i t r materially increased in the event of a war Al ic ug place.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. Since my last we have been destitute of reliable news concerning the Eastern difficulties. The rumours in circulation, which are as opposite as any two totally different things can be, come prin ciplaly from Paris, and occasionally they are fortified by similar accounts from Vienna. But, on the whole, they are not worthy of particular, attention, being mainly started for stock-jobbing purposes, to which, notwithstanding its strict surveillance,, the electric telegraph principally contributes. It will be Tuesday or Wednesday before we can officially know of the expected rejection, by the Czar, of the demand that the Russian troops shall evacuate the Principalities. It will arrive here first by way of Vienna, and simultaneously with it we anticipate hearing of a few trifling affairs upon the Danube. A desultory warfare will spring up in that quarter; which will last at least until the now broken off negociations are resumed, or until the impatience of the rival armies precipitates a formal trial of strength. It is said that there is nothing to prevent Omer Pacha from crossing the Danube if he is inclined, and fighting a battle in Little Wallachia. But this is doubtful, as he would be exposed,. in case of non-success, not only to the inconvenience of having a large river upon his rear, but of the enemy crossing it in time to place him between two fires. Ido not, therefore, attach any credit to this report. The first real contests will take place in Asia, and a fortnight or three weeks must elapse, before public curiosity can be gratified by anything more striking than accounts of the movements, or supposed movements, of troops and ships. Considerable attention was excited a few days ago in Paris, by a public sale •of Australian wool. Such an event was never before known to have occurred •in the French metropolis, and it has, all at once, thrown our neighbours into a most charming state of excitement. I believe that the Australian wools have for some years been consumed in France ; but the merino manu facturers, in order to procure it, had to resort to London, and to compete for it at the public sales with English buyers, Of course this exposed them to some disadvantage. The government then came to their relief, and reduced the' import duty, from 22 per cent. to 162, on condition that the wool was imported into France direct from Australia. This has now been done, and hence, the public sale in Paris. Two facts are proved by this circumstance — first, that the French manufacturers' require more wool than their own country produces, owing to the rapid development of their commerce ; and next, that their wants cannot be met by the ordinary produce of Europe. In these respects, the Paris sale has considerable significance, and it is certain, that increased efforts will be made to obtain regular supplies from Australia. • A privy council is summoned for Monday. The day for the meetings of Parliament is to be fixed at this council; but unless the Eastern question assumes a threatening aspect again, it is probable, there will be a still further prorogation. Business in the city is flat. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. Letters from Paris, dated Thursday night, have come to hand. One correspondent says :—" Some thing additional has, I am informed, been de manded of the French, and, I suppose of the English government, namely, that the fleets of both shall cruise in the Blttck Sea, to prevent the Russians drawing their provisions and stores from Sebastopol. The demand is occasioned—at least such is the reason alleged—by the necessary reduc tion in the Bosphorus of the Turkish fleet, many of the ships having been employed as transports for the troops sent to the army of Abdi Pasha in Asia. Notwithstanding what has been stated•about send ing a corps d'armie to some part of Turkey, I am in formed that though such a project may have been discussed as required by future events, yet that no resolution on that head had been formed." In Berlin, it would appear that in respect to the prospects of war .in the East, there is a new ver sion current in some circles, but it is difficult to ascertain whence it 00 mes, and what value it has. It is said that after the expiration . of the term fixed by the Porte for the evacuation of the Princi palities, the Turkish government will declare the country to be at war, and call upon the great Powers, before hostilities break out, to intervene in conformity to existing treaties. As regards the theatre of anticipated warfare, we learn that 30,000 Russians are immediately to be conveyed to Redout-kale (in the Russo Circassian province of Imerethi) within three days. General Zawadowski, the hetman of the Chernomorski Cossacks, has reached Anapa (Russian fortress on tho coast of the Abasses) with 24,000 men. Re cent accounts give a decided contradiction to statements made by the Russian journals of an affair which is said to have taken place recently in the Caucasus, and in which the troops of the Czar are said to have gained signal advantages over the Caucasian tribes. There has been no serious engagement in the Caucasus since the early part of May. The Russian Minister in Paris has contradicted in the most absolute manner the statement, that the Emperor of Russia threatened a war of exter mination against Turkey. It would seem, on the contrary, that his Russian Majesty still affects great moderation. Whether he is to be believed or not is a question ; but persons who know his character, say that it is very improbable that he would express himself in the way that has been reported. It was said to-day in the diplomatic circles, that in two or three days we shall have a manifesto from the Emperor of Russia, in which he will repeat his professions in favour of peace, and express regret that all his efforts at conciliation have been fruitless. FRANCE It was reported in Paris on Thursday, that several new political arrests had taken place, and, amongst other names, that of M. Emile de Girardin has been mentioned. Very little credit, however, is given to the rumour of the arrest of this gentle man, for he has hitherto very carefully avoided mixing himself up with the movements of the Republican party. The Emperor has given a pension of 2,000 francs a year to the father and mother of the late Lieut. Bellot. Thq trial of the 32 persons concerned in the " conspiracy of the Opera Comique " has been postponed to the 7th of next month, before the Court of Assizes of Paris.

THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ANDES The screw steam-ship Andes, under the command of Captain Moodie, arrived here yesterday, at two o'clock, from New York, after a passage of twelve days and a half ; by her we have re ceived our usual files of papers, which aro three days later than those previously to hand. The paddle steamer, Washington, for _ South ampton, sailed from New York on the same . day. The Arabia, from LiverpOol, arrived out at New York on the morning of the eth inst., at half-past nine o'clock, with advices from Liverpool to the 24th of September. The Andes has brought home 150,000 dollars in specie, and 11 passengers. The advice's from Liverpool by the Arabia, had caused a further excitement in the New York Markets for flour and bread stuffs, and given an immense impetus to speculation. The trans actions are reported as very large at a further advance of 121 cent per• barrel upon flour, whilSt wheat was held very firm at the previous quota- tions. The amount of business going forward was only restricted by the scarcity of vessels to send it to Europe, and in consequence freights had further advanced. The last quotations were for wheat to Liverpool ls. 3d., and for flour, from 3s. 9d. to 4s, per barrel. To London ls. 6d. was demanded for wheat, and ss. for flour. The Stock Market had been rather unfavourably affected by the European news, as will be seen by reference to our market report annexed. There had been no important change in the money market, but the demand was rather more active at 7 - per cent interest. There was only a limited enquiry for Exchange on London, but the quota tions were firm at 1091 to 110. The Washington Union publishes a summary of the cruise of the fishing squadron under Commo dore Shubrielc The following summary of his re port affords another illustration of that reckleSs ness in circulating reports and stories, of which the community have such just reason to complain "A single case of detention came to the knowledge of the commander of the squadron, and that was promptly inquired into at Charlotte Town, where the fishing schooner was sent and tried. • It was found that the vessel was taken in flagrant viola• tion of the first article of the treaty of 1818, and was liberated, after having been libelled, on the written acknowledgment of the master that he was so taken, and on his agreement to pay some small expenses incurred in the suit. phis is the plain, unvarnished story, of the " Starlight, Captain McDonald, of Gloucester," which has been so grossly exaggerated in the newspapers. And it is the only case of detention that has occurred this year. There has been no " seizures and condem nations," as the public have been led to belieTe by persons evidently interested in getting up an ai• excitement." The New Orleans' Picayune says :—" A friend of ours, just returned from a short visit up the coast, speaks of the ravages of the fever on very many plantations as most terrible. He says that no family where the fever enters escapes without the loss of some of its members ; and he named seve ral instances where almost the whole family was swept of In one of fifteen persons, fourteen died; in another of eight, seven died ; and so on in the same proportion in smaller families." A letter dated at Montgomery, Alabama, reports the fever as unabated, and the citizens rapidly leaving. At Pensacola the epidemic •continues to show a favourable decrease, while at Milton, Flo rida, it is raging to considerable extent. Accounts from Port Gibson represent whole families as down with the fever, and no nurses to attend them. There was but six physicians in the place. Among the more recent victims at Port Gibson, is the proprietor of the Herald. At Washington, LEL, there are not persons enough left to bury the dead. The New York papers publish the inaugural ad dress of Mr. Merriwether, the newly appointed Governor of Mexico. The Governor says :—" It will become my duty to guard and protect, as far as lays in my power, the interests of each elilzen, anti V, act: aw,t, first will at all times afford me pleasure, and the latter may at times become an irksome and painful duty, but it is one which must be performed at every hazard. It will afford me pleasure to con tribute my mite towards the development of the resources of the territory, With her wide and ex panded 'plains, her genial and salubrious climate, her mineral resources and geographical position, if we are but true to ourselves, the day is not far dis tant when New Mexico may claim her position- as. an equal in the glorious sisterhood of states com posing the American Union. To accomplish this end, however, it becomes necessary that there should be a united and harmonious action on the part of the several departments of the Terli torial Government, as well as the militaly power of the General Government stationed here ; and, above all, that we should receive, on all proper oc casions, the cordial support of the community at 'large." Advices from Richmond, Virginia, say the tobacco crop on Staunton river, Va., is seriously injured by the frost. From Buffalo we learn that the schooner Oneida* had been run down on Lake Erie by the steamer Buck Eye State, when about twelve miles off Buffalo. She had on board a cargo of 7,000 bushels wheat. The captain and all the crew, six in num ber, were lost, except the cook, who was taken from the mast head at five o'clock last evening, by a life boat. He had been there for over twenty hours. The Washington Star says that the Depart ment of the Interior had received a letter from Col. Wynkoop, United States marshal, of the East ern District of Pennsylvania, notifying to the Secre tary that three of the deputy marshals were on the point of being arrested on a warrant, for seek ing to execute a writ for Mr.• Justice Greer, of the Supreme Court of the United States, commanding them to arrest William Thomas, a negro claimed by Isham Keith, of Fauquer county, Virginia, as his runaway slave. The state warrant charges them with inciting to riot, or in some form violating the state laws in their efforts to arrest the fugitives. NEW YORK MARKETS, OCTOBER 7. STOCKS.—The foreign news was not favourably received in the street, althouglithe changes were not very important. The cheaper class 6f stocks was considerably depressed. The transactions were quite large in the leading fancies. After the Board there was a better feeling and Erie improved to 78, closing, however, at the Second Board at 781 bid. The increased rates of freight and fare on this road is having considerable effect in sustaining the market. Hudson River is down per cent., Norwich, per cent., Harlem per cent., Reading 1/ per cent., &c. Nicaragua was one of the firmest stocks, closing at 24/, Canton was heavy. ASHES.—The market is firm for pots at $5 87k, end $5 50 for pearls. CorroN.—The market is dull and drooping. Only 609 bales were sold yesterday in favour of the purchaser.

Several other gentlemen having addressed the meet ting, including Mr. Hutchins who delivered an eloquent speech which was loudly and deservedly cheered. Mr. JAMES HEYWOOD, M. P., was next called upon, an on rising, was received with great cheering. He desired, he said, to add his congratulations to those they had already re ceived on the opening of this excellent institution. He then re marked that the first thing that struck him on entering the hall was that it was not unlike the House of Commons but there was this difference between it and the Houses of Parlia ment, that whereas this would not cost more than £5OOO, and seemed to give general satisfaction, the Houses of Par _ liament would'eost'nearly two millions, and yet the n bers were not satisfied The honouia. member then called attention to the fact, that owing to a knowledge of foreign languages not beinc , generally acquired by our young men, large numbers of foreign clerks were now engaged in Manchester, and other large towns. Such institutions as this showed that there was, on the whole, a good feeling existing between masters and men in this country, although that good feelings might be accidentally broken into, as now, by turn-outs and struggles. When peo ple thought over their present disputes quietly, they would perhaps find out that there had been a little error on both sides. (Loud applause). Mr. Heywood next remarked that one reason he came here was, that he wished to see his friend, Mr. Thicknesse, with whom he deeply sympathised. The remaining subjects glanced at were, the comparative amount of education possessed by the Greeks and Turks, and the bearingthis hadupon the present state ofthe Eastern ques tion, and the Manchester Free Library. He also eulogised the conduct of the Mayor for taking so active a part in the formation of the Wigan Mechanics' Institution. The hon. gentleman was repeatedly applauded, and created much mirth by his remarks. Several other gentlemen having add the proceedings terminated.
