THE position of the Turkish troops and their prospects of success are so encouraging that we are induced to believe that nothing .short of an imme diate evacuation of the Principalities, or the most barefaced betrayal of the Turkish cause by some of the military leaders now in command. of the SuL. TAN'S troops, can preveLt the annihilation of the Russian army of invasion. From the foundation of the Ottoman empire in Europe by the illustrious OTIIMAN, in the thirteenth century, down to the present hour, the military chiefs of Turkey have been distinguished for their uncompromising patriotism and love of 'conquest. In the history of this people, Europe has a sub stantial guarantee for the good faith of the Turkish leaders ; but there are a number of unknown mar- tial heroes whose names occasionally drop out as commanders of divisions of the - Turkish army, and we feel no small astonishment at the cool effrontery they show.in thrusting themselves forward before the descendants of such renowned conquerors as AMURATH, SEMI, and' MUSTAPHA. These men were not only brave and successful generals, but they were the most accomplished statesmen ; and the idea of the SULTAN'S surrendering the command of his troops, and the fortunes of his empire, to a host of courtier generals, such as PLUM, BOSQUET and others, whose names we cannot recollect, is perfectly preposterous. Who is this General PRIM ? Can he be a cotemporary of the HAYNAU of Spain, the "merciful" RosAs? Who is BOSQUET ? Can ho be an Imperial chief, who owes his position to the good fortune of NAPOLEON 11. ? England has a long list of Military Knights and Court Warriors, such as the TRENCHS, CONROYS, WHEATLEYS, HUD SON LOWES, whose valorous deeds 14ave gone no fur ther than giving popularity , 'tic that memorable war song:— Th4siflo,6 of Belle Isle -1 WI there all tlie At the siege of Belle Isle, All the while. To entrust any but tried Generals with the dis posal of human life in fields of battle is a fearful crime. Thus far the Turkish greneials have shown themselves fully equal to the onerous duty required of them, and let us hope that no untried mushroom chiefs will be forced upon the SULTAN. The nation which has defended itself successfully for upwards of thirteen hundred years against the inroads of Chris tendom, can surely find men quite able to cope with the Muscovite leaders who have yet much to learn themselves in the way of successful fighting In the course of a war of such magnitude as that now pending, we must, however, expect natu rally to hear of reverses on both sides; and by the reports now abroad, it appears that after the battle of the 11th instant, the Russians under PRINCE GORTSCHAKOF F attacked the Turks and succeeded in defeating them, and that the Turks withdrew across the Danube without molestation. The very tone of this rumour leaves great room for doubt as to its truth. Indeed it is not at all likely that the Russians would allow a retreating army. to cross a river without molesting them. At Bu charest continuous cannonading was heard in the direction of the Danube. From Berlin we hear that the Turks had been again victorious at Olte- While the accounts coming from Vienna nitza. state the Turks had quitted all their positions on the Danube, except Kalafat, without a battle, as the Russians were concentrating all their force that direction. This report is officially confirmed from Hermannstadt, another Austrian town. It is most difficult to know how these conflicting statements are to be received. From the same source we are informed that the Turks had attacked the Russians at Galatz and Ibraila, while OmAR PASHA is said to be bent on reaching Tokshen in Moldavia, and that the Turliish force in Wallachia amounts to 90,000 or 100,000 men The object of the Commander-in-Chief in carry ing the war into Moldavia must be to check OSTEN-SACKEN, and to cut him off from Prince GrouTscuAKoFF. While the reports from the Princi- palities thus represent the progress of events, we have been informed from Constantinople that SELIM PACHA (a Hungarian) had stormed the fort of Nikolnjowsk. Two great battles had been fought, in which the Turks are said to have lost 1,000 men. The Turks, nevertheless, had forced the Russians to . retreat. The next day, it appears that the Russians were reinforced by six battalions, when they tried to regain their position, but were defeated, and pursued by another gallant Hun garian general, SELIM PASHA. There is a greater air of authenticity about this statement than we find in those which have gone before it. We hope soon, however, to have it in our power to give some more intelligible and accurate information from this most important quarter. In the meantime the New York papers state that " the Hungarian, Polish, and other exiles in this city are taking measures to form a regiment to proceed to Constantinople to offer their services to the Sultan in the war against Russia." IT is truly gratifying to turn from the " Tenant Right" and similar abortive measures and down right "Shams" for the regeneration and restoration of the Sister Isle, to a practical, efficient, and emi nently successful scheme. We allude to the Na tional University Organization, founded by our gracious QUEEN, which has been in active ope ration for the past four years ; and although it has met with determined opposition from some quar. ters, and obtained the opprobrious epithet of " godless," nevertheless it is increasing in popular estimation, and producing most desirable and bene ficial results. . At the opening of the Session, on Saturday last, the PRESIDENT of the Cork College delivered an elegant, eloquent, and satisfactory Address, before a distinguished assembly. He therein fully entered into the benefits accruing, and which have already accrued, from the establishment of such Univer sities ; and the circumstances he records brighten our anticipations, enliven our hopes, and confirm our belief, that the true panacea for Irish discoid, disunion, and distress, has been found; and that, by-and-by, Ireland will become as once she was —ere the sun of her splendour set--aprosperous, intellec tual, and renowned nation. In the opening part of his Address the PRESIDENT alluding to the success of the Institution, observes: —" From the period, now four years since, when this College was first opened for public instruction, up to the present time, the young men who have been our students, have uniformly so conducted themselves as to reflect the highest credit upon themselves and upon the College, and to verify and even to surpass, the most sanguine expectations which its founders could have had of the practical working of the system of education, of which this College contributes a part. Whether we contem plate the position of those students, in a social, in a moral, or in an intellectual point of view, we have found now,after four years of severely tested practical experience, nothing of moment to Condemn, but very much we can heartily admire. We have had pursuing their studies together in this College, in each year, some 150 young men, of various social conditions, of various degrees of intellectual capa city, and of various forms of belief, and there has not occured, among those masses of students, a single instance of controversy or collision; not in a single case has it been necessary to apply those rules of discipline wisely provided by our statutes for the repression of serious irregularity of con duct; and in the higher responsibilities of morality and religion, I believe I May appeal to the reverend who being officially connected with this gentleme n, College, have favoured me with the expression of their views, and who consider the conduct of the students in those regards to merit their full ap proval " What can be more encouraging than such a tes- timony from such a source ? Regarding, as we do, the primary evils of Ireland to have sprung from political partizanship and inveterate polemical feuds, we hail with unbounded pleasure the suc cess and development of a machinery so peculiarly calculated and admirably, adapted to moderate, if it does not altogether annihilate, such fecund causes of mischief, which, like a locust-blight, threatened to devour every green and fruitful thing—and which, in the words of MACAULAY, would " turn a Campania into a land of beggars, and change the plain of Emma into a desert." " The green, immortal Shamrock" may be re garded as typical of the saviours of that country whose national emblem it 18—LEARNING, PA.TRIOT ts:sr, and CONCORD. No nation ever flourished to any considerable extent that could not boast of such auxiliaries ; and where those virtues and ad vantages have decayed, a corresponding declension has been manifested in the growth and resources of the country—affording to each a common tomb. Take Greece as an unhappy example. From the time of ALEXANDER, when the Greeks were obliged to submit to a master, they' lost much of theii beauty and elevation of character, and intellectual pursuits experienced great degeneracy. As the spirit of patriotism vanished, the fire of genius be came extinct, until the sun of Grecian splendour became shrouded in an eternal night. When it was asked why Lacedwmon had no walls, the reply was : "The concord of its citizens is its strength." Nov,N we are convinced that this is the strongest and - most enduring bulwark any nation can possess. It is the best and most im pregnable of all " National defences." Without it we may possess excellent ships, and granite for tresses, and powerful - guns, and a well disciplined army; but it would avail little if there exist discord in the camp. Unity is a neces sary ingredient in a nation's stability. " A house divided against itself cannot stand." Union is emphatically, , strength. The largest rock, the loftiest mountain—in fact the whole globe itself, is nothing more .than a - mere conglomeration of mi nute .pArticles, each of which would float imper ceptibly in air; but all compacted together form a mighty and pondrous mass, as sublime as it is beautiful—as beautiful as it is perfect—and as per fect as it is harmonious. To bring about the peaceful reign of Concord in Ireland—a country so long tortured, rent, and dis• tracted, by feuds and factions—would be an hono] able enterprise and a blessed consummation.. We know, however, of no agency better calcu lated to produce so desirable an issue, as that at present employed for the, education of the people in the higher brandies of learning, the wonders of Science, and the beauties of Art. No country in the world more needs an effective system of secular in struction, as Ireland. It is this, and this only, that will soften down old asperities—temper inveterate prejudices—and destroy those politico-religious feuds which have been the real banes of that coun• try, and have placed Alpine barriers in the way of her intellectual progress and national prosperity. It is cheering to behold a change for the better, after such a protracted period of utter hopeless ness, bordering on despair—to see the golden sun shedding his beams upon a long night of darkness —to view the mists arising, and the clouds dispell ing, and a glorious and enduring day about to en lighten and bless the nation. Let no one say that a system of Education pro ductive of such benefits is " godless?' Secular Education is not necessarily irreligious. Indeed it cannot be. Rather, it is in its very nature and es sence, essentially religious. Whatever tends to de velope the faculties—enlarge the mind—cultivate the moral sentiments—and engender a love for the Good, the Beautiful, and the True, cannot be deemed either " irreligious" or " godless ;" whilst to make use of such an affirmation, is both the one and the other. Let us hear no more, then, of such flagitious sentiments. They are the offspring of ignorance and prejudice, and cannot stand the test of truth. The principles upon which the Government Col leges have been established, are still upheld in their entirety. Those principles have been found to work admirably well ; and the PRESIDENT of the Cork College, in the conclusion of his Address, ac knowledges to the fact, and affords every assurance of their being faithfully adhered to for the future.. He observes :—"Whilst the conduct of our students has been eminently satisfactory, on the one hand, on the other hand the securities that have been provided by the wise foresight of the State, for protecting the moral and religious principles of our students from' disrespect or interference, have been carefully maintained, and they shall continue to be maintained. The definiteness and directness of responsibility as to conduct and duties which is indispensible for carrying out the functions of an. nstitution of united education such as this — established by the State for public objects—sup ported by the public funds,—and administered under public control—cannot be lost sight of or abjured. Those who are anxious for the diffusion of superior and liberal education in this province and in Ire land,—and as such I presume to consider those whom I have now the honor to address,—may rest assured that the provisions for valid responsibility, which, coupled with a highly effective system of instruction, has already gained for this College, and for the Queen's University, so much acceptance and support, will be in the future as in the past, upon all occasions, suitably and steadily maintained." We congratulate the people of Ireland upon the extraordinary advantages they now possess in the establishment and extension of University Insti- We look upon them as the beginning of a new and brilliant era in Irish history—and as eminently calculated to realize for that country infinitely - more than ever was promised, or could be achieved by interested - charlatans, who scrupled not to sacrifice their country on the altar of personal cupidity, and who have made its interests subser vient to their-venality and ambition. . Let the Irish have "Repeal" by all means—but let it be the repeal of faction, prejudice, and fanaticism. Grant them the "Union,'-- 7 -but let it be the union of forbearance, moderation, and charity—of learn ing, patriotism, and Religion. These are what she needs—not the questionable benefits promised. by inflated demagogues and " Conciliation-Hall" de claimers, who took advantage of Irish credulity to further their private ends and to complete their sordid purposes. tutions. A great fire broke out yesterday, morning, on the pre mises of Messrs. Haynes and Co,, St. Anne's-road, Newington, London. The whole of the premises were destroyed. THE PILGRIM FATHERS.—The Rev. Dr. Raffles delivered a lecture upon the event commemorated in Mr. Lucy's paint ing of the Pilgrim Fathers, in Great George's Chapel, at seven o'clock last night. The lecture was merely expla natory of the causes and circumstances which originated and followed the emigration of the pilgrim fathers in the May flower from England, and the founding of their new home across the Atlantic. SALE OF SHIPWRIGHTS' MATERIALS. A sale of the materials used for shipbuilding at Birkenhead by Mr. Thos. Wilson, took place, during the present week. On Thursday and yesterday the attendance was large, and the lots..sold realised good prices. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yestorday afternoon Robert Stott, a boy 16 years of age, apprentice on board the ship Dori sa n a , lying in the Salt House Dock, and a relative of the captain of the vessel, fell from the mast head on the deck, thereby fracturing his ancle and arm, and receiving other extensive injuries, of which he died whilst being conveyed to the Southern Hospital. ACCIDENTS.-Michael Cavanagh, living at No. 4, court, Paul-dreet, a labourer, working on board one of the Glas gow traders, the " Sapphire," in the Canning-dock, fell into the hold, of the vessel yesterday afternoon, and received a severe fracture of the ribs.—John Jones, of No. 30, Sydney street East, a carter, was discharging some corn in a store, in Barton-street, belonging to Messrs. Hodson and Bully, the same afternoon, when a sack fell out of the sling upon him, which produced a severe compound fracture of the ribs. Finn IN BOOTLE ON THURSDAY NIGHT.—On Thursday night, a very destructive fire broke out on the premises be longing to Mr. Thomas Bollard, in Bootle-lane, which com prised a wind-mill and a steam-mill closely adjoining. The utmost despatch was used in conveying the alarm to Liver pool, and by nine o'clock Mr. Hewitt, with a large body of the fire brigade, and three engines from the fire station, with the West of England engine, arrived at the spot. The wind happened fortunately to be from the south-west, which carried the flames away from a number of cottages, adjoining the mills, occupied by Mr. Bollard and his wormen, other wise their destruction would have been inevitable. Captain Weir, inspector of salvage, Captain Greig, head-constable, with about thirty police officers, under superintendent Ride and two inspectors, along with several gentlemen connected with insurance companies, gave their most indefatigable exertions to check the fire, but owing to the delay which, of necessity, had taken place in communicating the intelligence to town, the flames had made great progress before assistance arrived at the place. Shortly after nine o'clock the whole structure was in flames, and at ten o'clock the sails and machinery at the head of one mill became detached and fell. The steam .mill and machinery were saved by exertions almost unparalleled. Several horses in a stable adjoining, some pigs, and a quantity of grain and flour were also saved. The windmill, however, was destroyed. By half past 10 o'clock the further progress of the conflagration was completely checked. At present no estimate can be formed of the actual loss, which must be very large, and which, it is stated, will be only partially covered by the in surances upon the building. THE BLACK_BUIZAT BOILER _EXPLOSION. ADJOURNED INQUEST. " BLACKBURN, FRIDAY NIGHT. , The CORONER, Oa Hargreaves) resumed this protracted inquiry at Ten o'clock this morning. Mr. CLouou proposed to adduce evidence on behalf of the owners of property adjacent to Mr. Hesketh's weaving shed. The FOREMAN objected. The jury were assembled, not to inquire into the circumstances of the owners of adjoining property, but to investigate the cause of the explosion so as to fix the blame upon the right party. -- Mr. CLOUGII submitted that it was necessary to have the evidence he wished to adduce, in order that the question might be investigated in all its bearings. - Thos. Cockshott was then called an examined. He de posed that six years ago, he was engine -tenter at the loom shed in Starkie-street , during the time" Mr. Hayes was tenant of the premises. Witness left because he " was afraid of his life." Called at the boiler-house five or six weeks ago. Saw Edward Sharpies, the engine -tenter, there. Asked him if he was not afraid of the,boiler blowing up. He laughed, but said nothing. Witness said he would not tend that engine if they would give him all Blackburn. They could not see much, for the boiler-house was full of steam. The steam escaped through crevices in the brickwork. John Witton examined.—Knew Sharpies, the deceased engine-tenter. About six weeks ago, Sharpies said they were putting up new looms, and he was more afraid than ever. Witness observed, "You will be blown into the street some day, like an old pair of bellows." Witness told Sharpies he was running too high. Sharpies replied, that it must be kept up, or he should get black looks. Called one afternoon to see Sharpies, and noticed the indicator. The boiler was working at a pressure of 411bs. to the square inch. Witness shook his head, saying, "You'll be blown into the street some day." Sharpies said he could not help it. The fireman looked up and grinned. 351bs. was the usual pressure at which the boiler was worked during the last.five or six weeks. The engineman wanted more steam than he could make, and he took the safety valve away on his own responsibility. Witness considered the engine-tenter to blame for workinc , the boiler at such high pressure ; but what could the man when the work was required to be done ? • William Robinson occupied the house next to the boiler. The house was blown down by the explosion, and witness had a child killed. Eighteen months ago, witness com plained about the boiler to his landlord, Mr. Catlow. Wit ness was alarmed, because they were so often repairing the boiler. The engine-tenter used to come into witness's house, and witness's wife asked him why they so often re paired the boiler. The man replied that they could not get the steam up enough John Catlow examined.—Was owner of several houses in Starkie-street, near to Hesketh's loom shed. About eighteen months ago several of witness's tenants complained to him about the boiler in question, and in consequence of that he communicated with the commissioners, and after wards saw Mr. Hesketh, to whom he spoke concerning the dangerous state of the boiler. Mr. Hesketh replied that he had property there as well as witness, and should be frightened himself if there was any danger. James Boyle corroborated the latter portion of the pre vious witness's evidence. John Carr stated that about three months ago, Mr. Hes keth told him he had given to Pickop (the owner of the preMises) notice to quit in consequence of the bad state of the boiler. William Hesketh deposed that he had occupied the pre mises in Starkie-street two years within two months. There was no examination of the boiler, or any part of the ma chinery when he . took to them ; they appeared to be right enough. . . . . The inquiry was proceeding when our despatch was sent off.

BIRKENHEAD BOOTLE WOODSIDE 1 TRANMERE WALTON ROCK FERRY EVERTON WATERLOO FAIRFIELD SEAFORTH _ AIGBURTII. TO CORRESPONDENTS MR. DAVID M'CLELLAN, Woollen 'Draper, of Price street, has again rushed into print. He abuses our Publisher and Editor for having given publicity to a "friendly note," written, as he states, in Mr. Charles Willmer s dining-room. As Mr. M'Clellan by this, no doubt, means to imply that our Publisher was his personal friend, we deem it right to state that such was not the fact. Until within the past month, Mr. M'Clellan was unknown to our Pub lisher, except by name; and then his introduction was self-sought, for reasons best known to himself. The publication of the note was necessary to com plete a . correspondence which Mr. M'Clellan himself commenced, and to the publicity of which he did not deem it necessary 'to obtain our consent. Mr. M'Clellan states that we had two Reporters present " during the whole of the proceedings " in the case of " Wilcock v. Shrivall." This is not true: Only one was present, except for a few minutes—the case occupying five hours. Mr. M'Clellan com plains, further, that in . our last notice of his extra ordinary conduct, we omitted, in a quotation from : his letter, the word " almost." We did so to make the quotation intelligible, and conformable to gram matical rules. We will, however, ,as he appears to wish it, give our readers the bene f it of the quotation verbatim :—" UTTERLY contrary in ALMOST every respect." At the same time, we would remind Mr. .21PClellan, that wv published, with the article he refers to, the entire of the letter from which the quotation was made, and in which the word "almost" was inserted. With these few words we . shall leave Mr. David .11.1 1 Clellan to enjoy his un enviable notoriety. We shall condescend no further to notice his flagitious allegations, as the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES was established for higher purposes and nobler ends. Whatever is intended for insertion must be authenticate by the name and address of the writer; not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of his good faith. We cannot undertake to return rejected communications. All communications, Books for Review, etc., to be for warded to the Editor must be addressed to the Publisher, CHARLES WILLMER, and those from London may be seen to the care of Messrs.

THE TYNEMOUTH COMMISSION.--The evidence already taken before the commission proves very extensive treating, but no case of bribery has yet been shown. The Count Walewski, the French Ambassador at St: James's, has been summoned to France to attend his Imperial master, but will return in a few days. Despatches were sent off last night from the Colonial Office to the Governor-General of Canada.

He will be confined until the men can appear against him. The police are also on the look out for the boatswain. FLIGHT OT THE TREASURER OF A FRIENDLY SOCIETY. —Considerable excitement has been occasioned in Stirling by the report that the treasurer of a friendly society had ab sconded, carrying with him a large sum of money belonging to the society. It is stated that the bank-book which the treasurer had was altogether composed of entries of an im proper description, and that the bank with which he pro fessed to have an account, disavowed having had any deal ings with the society whatever. The defalcations are said to exceed £3OO.

Canon Clifton, chairman of the committee, John Taylor, Esq., hon. secretary, and other friends of the in stitution. His lordship carefully inspected the workrooms schools, printing office, &c., and conversed with several of the children for some time with great kindness and affabi lity. His lordship seemed to be much pleased with the appear ance of the children and the general arrangements of the establishment. The visit occupied about an hour and was concluded by a most appropriated address to the assembled school in which his lordship spoke ivith great feeling and affection, 'and was vociferously 'cheered by the children on his departure. His lordship left the following remarks in the visitors' book : —Extremely delighted by the appearance and manner of the children, by the manifest, care, and dis cipline exercised in the school, by the locality in which it is situated, and by all that I saw and heard, I heartely de sire that many such schools be established here and eIse where.—SIIAFTESBURY.

The deceeased had been for many years subject to epileptic fits. Inquests will be held in both the above cases this day. MONETARY AND COMMEROAL: LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY EVENING. By the screw steamer Glasgow which arrived in the Clyde this morning, we have advices three days later than those previously received: They report the arrival of the Africa at New York on the 4th. The Cotton Market had not been effected by the Africa's advices: The weather is again reported "quite favorable." In the.market forßreadstuffs the outward news, howerer, had caused an advance of. from 181 tQ 25 c. for flour ; Southern sour rose . from 121 to 181--- e. per barrel. Sales were made at 737 cents for - common, to good brands, Other kinds of flour and meal were held higher. Wheat had alSo 'advanced. • Freights remained unaltered. Corn.was taken at 121 to 13 ; wheat, 13 ; fl our , 3s.' 3d: tO 3s. 9a ; cotton, +d'to 3-16 d. The Stock market was buoyant arid active. Exchange flat at 109+ for, prime signatures on -London, and very good bills are•offered at 109 k to 109+, the tendency being downwards. By the Royal Mail steamer Solent, from the West Indies, which arrived at Southampton this after noon; we are in; pessessien Of advices from Jamaica to the 26th ; Barbadoes, 27th ; Trinidad, 28th ult., and St. Thomas's to the Ist November. This vessel brings the large sum of 211,3061. in specie. The Commercial intelligence by this arrival is satisfactory. The produce markets were quiet and firm : sugars, cheaper ; coffee was limited ; and tallow and corn both scarce and in demand. The legislative session had commenced at Kingston, Jamaica. The yellow fever was considerably abated in the other islands, where heavy rains are said to have done some injury to the crops. The islarids generally were in great want of labour. At Jamaica, the exchange, ninety days, was ruled at 1 per cent. premium ; sixty days, 1+ per cent.; and thirty days, 2 per cent. premium. In the London Stock market there is evidently a strong desire, on the part of the political partisans of Russia, to get up the prices of stocks, in order to-magnify the power and success of the Autocrat in the east. This -is accomplished by making it appear that Russia's success is favorable to British interests, and that the value of our public securities is thereby enhanced, while the victories gained by the Turks is used to lessen the value of our stocks, as though . the triumph of the Sultan would be pre ~judicial to this country. We have noticed the working of this plot for some days past, and to day the reported victory of the Russians, and the recrossing of the Danube by the Turks, has been most skilfully worked out. The advance which took place in the value of stocks—and which is attributable solely to the rapid accumulation of money for investment—is made to appear as the result -of a change in public opinion in favor of Russia. On the announcement of the arrival of the large amount of specie by the Solent, consols advanced 1, and finally closed 95/ to 95L Three and qriarter per cent., 96k to 96?- 3 . Bank stock 217 to 218.

The attendance of buyers was small, and the amount of business done was not extensive. Monday's rates were sustained, but nothing more. There was a slight de man d f or dicrgo - ets or — rtrtYa. — wnea 101 - trio ~,,nunent. Flour was in fair request. Barley, beans, and peas closed at Monday's rates, oats 6d dearer. The Foreign Produce markets were active again to-day. Coffees in increased demand. Native Ceylon, 465. 6d. Cochineal was dearer. Tallow was not so active as yesterday ; Y. C., 575. on the spot, and 58s. 3d. to 58s. 6d. for delivery next year. Scotch pig iron closed at 78s. The Liverpool Cotton market, owing to the closing of additional mills, and the unsettled state of affairs in the east, has been less active this week, and the sales have only ranged from 5,000 to 7,000 bales per day. The quotations this week show little or no alteration. There has been a moderate demand for Brazils, and prices remain unchanged. Egyptians were unsteady. There continues to be a good demand for Surats, and prices are a shade dearer than last week. 2,750 bales Ameri can, 50 Pernam, 30 Egyptian, and 3,170 East India were taken on speculation and for export ; and 81,-350 -by the trade. The actual exports consist of 640 American, 20 Brazil, &c., and 1,480 East India ; in all 2,140 bales. The sales to-day, 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 have been taken for export and on speculation. The market closes quiet, but very steady. The papers received from North Alabama say : " It is the opinion of several intelligent planters that the cotton prop of this region will not average more than" 700 pounds seed cotton to the acre. They say that many plantations will fall below that figure." The Liverpool Produce markets have been tolerably active all this week. Sugars were in fair demand at our quotations. Coffee sold freely. Rice was also in increased demand. Teas have not altered in price, but the market is very firm at pre vious rates. In the Wool market there has been no material alteration. In London the quantity brought forward at the sales which have just closed were as follows :-53,985 bales Australian and Cape, 5,243 East India, 530 China, and 5,256 sundry low foreign wools were offered, but there was a reduc tion in prices, as compared with the August series, averaging at one period of the sales from ld. to 2d. on clean first class Australian wools, 2d. to 3d. on medium, and 3d. to 4d. on ill conditioned and burry wools, of whi..:h there was an unusually large proportion. For East India and China there was a fair competition, but on these wools a decline of a ld. per lb. on the better qualities, and lid. omin-. ferior sorts was also submitted to. Our. Nllttio market participated slightly in the improved tone .of trade in nearly all our other markets; and closed firmly. .
