BRIGHTON.

The engineers of this town have held a series of
meetings to determine on the course they should pursue at
the present crisis of affairs. The result boa bees a concur-
rence in the policy of the executive of the Ama'pointed
Society, but the men have, nevertheless, avoided all collision
with the masters here. At the club meetings resolutions
have been passed in favour of the appropriation of 10,000/.
towards the proposed works, and the men have opened sub-
scriptions for the relief of the operatives of London, Man-
chester, &c.

the following communication from Viscount Dederick,
in reference to the letter of Lord Cranworth, published in
Saturday's Ezpreas, was received at a late hour on garnr.
day night, by Its. W. Allan, secretary to the Amalgamated
Society :
"7, Old-aqaare, Lincoln's-inn, Jan. 17, 1832.
"Gentlemen,—Lord Cranworth's letter to Lord Ashbur-
ton, published in this day's Times, may do your cause some
harm, as it is founded on a misapprehension of the facts of
the ease. As we were the persons whom you trusted to lay
the question of arbitration before Lords Ashburton and
Crossword), it was our duty to take care that they •ander-
stood clearly the point at issue, and what you really
did adt. Now Lord Cranworth says 'the men insist
that the =satin shall not employ unskilled la-
bourers." We can only lay that when we made
the application to Lord Ashburton we knew perfectly well
that yeti made no such demand as this. Again, we knew
peat( fly well that you did not ask for • law compelling
masters and men to submit to any arbitration whatsoever.
W hat you del ask for was the formation of such • board as
exists in France, under the title of "Conseil de
Prud'hoinrnes," to which any master and men who choose
to submit voluntarily to its jurisdiction and bind themselves
to abide by its deciaivaa,ean refer all disputes between them;
and you told us, that you felt sure that all masters and men
who wished for fair pray and nothing more, would be glad
to submit voluntarily to such a tribunal as this. As your
ease, through our means, his been put on false merits be-
fore the public, we think that you are entitled to this
statement from us, and shall leave it with you to make
what use you please of it.—Yours faithfully,
Goninten,

MANCHESTER.

There is no change in the position of parties; the
employers, who have pledged themselves to the Central So-
ciety, are carrying out their promises as the notions to the
men expire, and the operatives still appear of good heart.
They bad a meeting on Friday evening, which Mr. Newton
addressed, and Carpenters' Hall was crowded. The Amalga-
mated Society are appealing to the public for money on be-
half of the non•society men.

SATCIIDAT EVININO.
Business in the general mining share market this
week has again been active and of a satisfactory
character. Alfrcds remain firm, and Merllyns have
again advanced 1/. per share. Inquiry has also
been made, anionost others, for Garrey', but no
sellers can be found at present quotations. In a few
other deseripions, however, the transactions have
been at lower rates. With the prevailing abundance
of money, business in this department cannot fail to
be placed in a healthy state for some time to come,
unless extraordinary political events should intervene.
The market for the now gold shares, both Califor-
nian and Australian, has received a decided stimulus
from the extraordinary, accounts of the yield of the
precious metal published during the week. A very
active inquiry has been experienced fur many de-
scriptions, and a general rise in prices has taken
place, as will be seen on reference to the official list
given below.
The following is the latest list of quotations:--

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 5.
The semi-official organ of the Turkish go-
vernment express satisfaction with the speech of M.
Paicos, Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the
sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Athens on the
12th ult. In this declaration M. Paicos defends the
Turkish government from the insinuation that it al-
lowed brigands to take refuge whiling the Ot-
toman frontier, and to make incursions into the
Greek territory. On the contrary, the minister gave
' the Porte credit for its good faith in assisting
the government to repress all such attempts, and
instanced the dismissal of several Turkish func-
tionaries who neglected this duty at a proof of sin-
cere co-operation. Thus the Commander-General of
Larissa, liadje Hussein, had been replaced some
time ago successively by Semi Bey, and Ismael Bey
Frassari.

The Journal de Constantinople contains a semi-
official article, complaining of the bad faith of the
German newspapers in misrepresenting the state of
Montenegro; and stigmatises es a pure invention
the story given in the Journal de Frankfort, under
the head of attaro, announcing that in the neigh-
bourhood of Potgorizea and Spur a band of armed
Turks had driven otf 2,000 cheep from the custody
of Montenegrina shepherds, killing two of the Litter
and wounding several others. The German paper
added that thus the truce recently concluded between
the Turks al d Montenegrines had been broken, and
would be succeeded by fresh struggles The Journal
de Constantinople states that there are no armed
Turks either at Potgorizza or Spur for the purposes
mentioned, and that no Montenegrines have been
attacked nor sheep driven off; finally, that
if the pretended truce has been broken, it is
because the Montenegrines have made, on the
side of Scutari, an irruption into the Ottoman terri-
tory, where they have committed nets of brigandage.
Hence Omer Pasha has sent towards this frontier a
squadron of cavalry, under the orders Dervish Pasha,
not in a spirit of hostility against Montenegro, but
to cause to be respected by the bandits of that eoun-
!ry the soil of Turkey and the property of the sub-
jects of the Porte.

GERMANY.

VIENNA, JAm. b.
The Customs Congress for Germany has just been
opened. No business beyond the necessary verifica-
tion of powers was entered upon in the first sitting ;
but the 7th instant was named for that purpose.
There is a cordial understanding between the
governments upon the measures to be taken for re- '
establishing, in the interior of Germany, a state of
things which it is fancied will offer pledges for
durable tranquility. It is agreed that the powers
of representative chambers must be restricted, the
jury abolished in all political trials, and the
spheres of the police must be extended. The federal
act of 1815 attributes full and entire sovereignty to
the chief of the state. Since 1818, however, a num-
ber of parliaments have been called into existence, to
avert the substitution of republics for monarchies.
These have now, it is hoped, answered the purpose ;
and, as gratitude is a luxury in which a German
sovereign cannot be expected to indulge, it is gene-
rally proposed to do away with them entirely; or
where that cannot be done so easily, to reduce their
attributions to a minimum number and weight.
The Elector of Hesse was the first who
spoke boldly out his determination not to share his
power with any popular assembly. Now, it is the
policy dell the governments. Austria has not only
abolished the charter, but has cancelled the hinds-
mental rights upon which a great number of private
rights were founded. Saxony has been the first to
restore the old chambers of estates—facile instru-
ments of a patriarchal government. Many Thurin-
gian states have followed more or less closely. The
Grand-duke of Mecklenhurg-Schwerin has done the
same, and finds to his cost that the chevaliers whom
he has restored are the greatest obstacles to the exe-
cution of his plans of government, and the firmest
supporters of institutions of the middle ages. In the
Duchies of Anhalt, in Wurtemberg, the Grand

DUBLIN. JAN. 9.
There has been a stiff gale, without intermission,
for the hut twenty-four hours. Yesterday morning
it commenced blowing hard from the south-west,
and so continued thioughout the day; but in the
evening the wind veered to the north-west, from
which point it still continues, aecompanied, this

The Holyhead steamers were two or three hours

THE CORK ELECTION.
This election terminated yesterday in the trium-
phant return of the fret) trade candidate, the result
being only what every one expected. According to
the numbers reported in the Cork Constitution, the
protectionist organ, the gross poll at the close last
evening was:
For Scully (free trader)
For Frewen (protectionist) 2,939

Majority for Scully BOl
The total number of electors polled was consider-
ably less than 7,000 out of a constituency of nearly
double that number. The proteviionists, in Km-
veling as they did, must have calculated either on
the divisions known to exist in the liberal party, or
on the reluctance which they may have supposed Mr.
Scully to have felt to encounter the expense and
trouble of a contest on the eve of a general election.

CALLING OUT THE MILITIA.

TO THE ZDITOY OH THE MIMS.

do not like to call names, otherwise I
should say that "weathercock the London Pima" has
changed again, and is now with Earl Derby, all for the
militia. If the people do not wish to be plagued to death
with marching and countermarching—if they do not wish
to be taxed in purse and person—when they already pay
upwards of 16,000,0001.—if they do not wish a great sham
to be perpetrated—if they do not wish the military spirit of
the country to be excited uselessly, and worse than use-
lessly—they must lose no time in getting up. meetings, not
peace congress meetings, hut meetings against calling out
i the militia. Men n power, who see the patronage an un.
necessarily increased army will give them, laugh in their
sleeves at John Bull, and carry out thers tore what they know
to be wrong. I am aware that the people in general think
they will easily get rid of the present ministry. lamof •
different opinion; but be that as it may, they will remain
in long enough to pass a militia bill, unless strenuously
opposed, and we all know how difficult it is to get any act
repealed. I trust, therefore, sir, that you will keep on the
alert, and not allow the poor people, who are not repre-
sented, to be taken from their daily bread, demoralised,
made idle, and discontented, and all this to save a more
minute examination into the great question, why, with
16,000,0001. expenditure, the country is defenceless? We
pay already for an ample force. Where is that force ? If
not in its proper position, why not put it there?

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 21.—The ships in commis-
sion at this port dressed out in colours at their masth.sids
yesterday atla rnoon, and the other customary arrangements
for the reception of her Majesty, on her arrival at this port
en route to town, were made, but at two o'clock it was as-
certained that her Majesty had determined on proceeding
via Southampton, owing to the wind blowing very stiffly
from the eastward, by which a very heavy sea was roll-
ing at Spithead.—Tho Simoom, iron screw transport,
Captain Kingcombe, sailed from Spithead yesterday
morning on a cruise down channel to try her en-
gines and qualities—The Polyphemus, steam sloop, Com-
' mender C. U. Phillips, has been paid advance of wages,
and will sail at once for the coast of Africa. She takes out
supernumeraries for the squadron, and also the witnesses
who came home to give evidence at the trial of Peel, the
engineer, for the murder of his father-in-law.—lt is re-
ported that tha Prince Regent, 90, Captain Harris; Hogue,
60, screw steam vessel, Captain MtDougald ; Arethusa, 50,
Captain Symonds ; Arrogant, 46, screw steam frigate,

Jones, are ordereilto be paid off at this port; that is, their
crews are to be paid down tea fixed date,leaving only the usual
six mouths due, and the men to have a fortnight's leave of
absence, when they are to rejoin their respecthe ships. The
three first-named vessels arc already at this port. The Win-
chester, 50, has been commissioned by Captain Granville
G. Lock (1841), and has been brought down the harbour,
into the sea basin, to he fitted out. Sho is to relieve the

steamers have nut yet returned from the chops of the
channel, where they had been sent in consequence of the
prevailing easterly winds, to relieve homeward bound
vessels. -The commodore superintendent of the dockyard
(Seymour) is aliment on leave, to consequt nee of the death,

COLERAINE ELECTION.

Tho Coleraine election has been list d for Monday
next. Mr. Kennedy's answer is not yet known here;
but if he declines to stand, it is probable that some
other friend to free trade and tenant-right will be
found to contest the election with Lord Naas. Dr.
Boyd, tho late member, has had the modesty- to ad-
dress a letter to the electors, in which he candidly ac-
knowledges the transfer which be has endeavoured
to make of their representation. Ho says :
&foie lensing London I proposed to Lord Naas that, in
the event of his defeat in Kildare, I would retire from the
representation of your borough, in order to afford on oppor-
tunity to his lordship of seeking your sutirages and the
honour of representing you in parliament. I beg you dis-
tinctly to understand, that it is only for the present that I
consent to withdraw from what I feel to be a high honour,
that of representing you in the Commons House of Parlia-
ment; and, at the ensuing general election. I shall again
seek at your hands to be restored, by your kind support, to
the position which I bare bet n proud so long to occupy.
Lord Naas's friends are exerting themselves to
give eclat to his visit to Ulster, by g. tting up a pub-
lic dinner to hint in Belfast; but sumo of fhe means
they have employed fur this purpose are fur from be-
ing creditable. They have sought to create an im-
pression that the public bodies hale rt solved to en-
tertain his lordship, and have gone so far as to assert,
through the medium of their local organs, that such
is the case. Several gentlemen connected with tho
Town Council, the Harbour Board, and the Chamber
of Commerce, the public bodies alluded to, have in-
dignantly denied that their respective boards have,
in their public capacity, attempted to compromise
themselves by such a course.
The liberal men of Belfast (says the Northern
the men who support free trade, and disenuntenunee the
seMsh and impructicable schemes of Lord Derby and his
followers, know now that they cannot greet his Irish secre-
tary at a public dinner without compromising themselves
with opinions to which they are utterly opposed; and they
are naturally indignant that an unworthy attempt should
be made to identity them with a transaction which never
met their countenance.

Libraries are not only a t to
instruction; they are no mem easseriat:e :fillancient
tuition. Any one who hoe barely beta taught to
read, if turned loose smog a collection of good,
interesting, instructive boas, will unconsciously
educate tumult. Ho may reed desultorily, merely
for the amusement of his idle hours; but some use-
ful knowledge will be picked up, and will stick to
him. The mere acquisition of a taste for reading is
in itself a great step in advance. The persons who
resort habitually to a public library contract ao-
quaintance with each other; they talk about the
books they have been reading; they interchange
opinions about them; they teach each other to jsdp
and argse ; they stimulate each other to add
to their knowledge. They become en unorganised
class of mutual instruction. Their pursuits refine
and elevate them. Their vague and desultorily ac-
quired information intellectualises the society to
which they belong, and creates an irresistible crav-
ing for education in the proper sense of the word.
Whit is true of libraries is equally true of mop
scums, of botanical and zoological gardens, of collie-
tions of pictures and sculptures. 'Without these in-
deed books or teachers are inadequate instructors;
they can do little more than impart words; men re-
, quire to have before them the realities which words
describe. In a museum men can realise much that
they have read about—fossils, stuffed beasts, samples
or representations of antignities. In zoological and
botanical gardens they can mark and watch the
operations of living nature. In galleries of art
they can develop or acquire the ennobling sense
of the beautiful. Where such institutions exist the
people necessarily and inevitably acquire knowledge
and refinement. They come for amusement, and re-
turn and remain for edification.

SATURDAY EVENING.
A limited amount of business has been done to.
day, but shares have changed hands in West Provi-
dence, Wheal Arthur, St. Aubyn and Grylls, Tre-
mayne, Cook's Kitchen, Ktlbricken, Drakewells,
Lewis, Alfred Cone°ls, Trehane, North Buller, West
Treasury, Wheal Charlotte, West Darlington, Tre-
barvah, Trannack and Bosence, and Cubert.
There has been a considerable amount of business
transacted during the week in British stocks, both in
dividend and in young mines having improved pro-
spects. In Wheal Arthur a large business has been
done, and a good demand continues at from 11 to
121; West Ding longs have advanced from 31. to
61.; Trebarvahs, 11. per share ; Tremaynes, from
221. to 241/.; Cubert, from 345. to 50e.; Clive, from
255. to 355.; Wheal Neptune has also risen 155.;
Botallacks have been done at 1101. per half share ;
Alfred Consols have been extensively dealt in, as also
Mill Pool, Cook's Kitchen, and Kilbricken. Shares
iu Wheal Crebor are rapidly advancing.
The advices from Mexico by the Great Western
packet confirm the statement published exclusively
in the Daily News of the 10th inst., relative to the
great reduction in the price of quicksilver, owing to
the discovery of rich gaickailser mines in boa Luis
Potent. so well as in niMrai. In Guanazusto it
had been sold as low as 40 dollars per quintal, and
the price ruled at from 00 to .55 dollars. A few years
ago the price in Guanaxuato was 150 dollars per
quintal, and even higher. The difference is there-
fore about a dollar, or 4s. per lb.; and as for every
pound of silver obtained there is a loss of at least Ill&
of quicksilver, the cost to the miner is about 6e. upon
every pound weight of silver produced. It will
readily be seen that these circumstances are greatly
in favour of the American silver mines already ex-
isting, and also of the further extension of silver
mining. It is an interesting question as to how far
the discovery will affect the production of gold in
California, where quicksilver is in such considerable
demand.

BARRACKS IN ST, JAMES'S PARL

Sir DE L. EVANS reminded the Chief Commissioner
of Woods and Ferrets that the house had consented to esti-
mates for barracks in St. James's Park, on the undersiand-
ing that the portion of the perk belonging to the public
should not be interfered with. Recent circumstances in-
ducing him to fear that that engagement was in danger of
being violated, he hoped that the sable lord would be good
enough to give him as fleasuretsa as the subject.
Lord J. MANNERS, Is the atones of the hon. and gal-
lant member for Portartiagten, could not give the bon. and
gallant general precise informatim, but believed that there
yes no intention of infringing on the public portion of St.
James's Park.
