THE DISPLAY OF MANUFACTURES.

Trona the Journal of Desire.)
Our native manufactures, it would seem, in the
style of their contributions, while aiming at excellence ost
the one hand, or cheapness on the other, have not allowed
them-elves by a desire of show to he carried away from the
pruina•linn of ordinary business I irtieles or to excecil the
standard of a fair market. In the display of cotton fabrics
every useful requisite of the trade will be illustrttesl. and
Manchester, Bolton, Glasgow, and Carlisle will prove
the leading exhibiting towns. The wholesale houses
of the metropolis will contribute the higher pro-
duets of the loom, and the great firms of the north will
show the more preliminary processes. Printed Lattice
will be represented by the best houses in the
print trade, especially in Manchtster, Glasgow. and f. 012
don, and this department is expected to contain many
novelties in the modes of production. Upon the north of
Ireland will devolve principally the task or itieNtrating the
manufacture of linens and damasks, but Dunfermline.
Leak, and the wholesale houses of 1411111 On will also hem...
hiSitors, and important and beneficial results to tie. brmeh
of our industrial system are anticipated from the rivalry
with foreigners whom we have invited. In a (adieu and
mixed fabrics the display is expected to be very rich and
effective. The poplins of Dublin and Norwich, the tweed
stuffs of Scotland, the frieze of Ireland, carpets and
shawls, the industrial products of thu West Ridingt
Paisley, and other places will all be duly represented, and
the arrangement of this part of the Exhibition promises
13 1e singularly striking and beautiful. In woollen cloth

SCULPTURE-ROOM.

A well- proplntionrd room for sculpture hes been set apart in
the Exhibition Building, 70 feet by 45, and 33 feet high. The
following arrangement of colours ha been suggested by a
sculptor. The floor stained dark oak; the pedestals of the
statues dark crimson, the walls a warm grey, of an atmos-
pheric retreating quality, the ceiling light grey, and a centre
concentrated light of 36 feet by 12, with a thin white linen
spread beneath. The arrangement of colours is different
from that hitherto received as appropriate for sculpture-
rooms, but would, we have no doubt, be effective. The
neutral tint of the walls would afford a distinct vet soft
fleshy outline to the marble and plaster, and the dlrk floor
preserve the works from the upward reflective gleam so in-
jurious—in the British Museum, for instaner.—BiarLr.

QUADRANGULAR SPACES.

In order to save some of the enormous labour of the Exe-
cutive Committee, and to give a greater variety to the ,
Exhibition, different courts or quadrangular spaces have
been allotted to different bodies of exhibitors. The Aus-
trians are about to furuish a suite of four rooms ; a cotton-
spinner, from Lancashire, will exhibit the whole process of
the cotton manufacture in another ; and a similar space has
been given to Messrs. Pugin, ll:adman, of Birmingham ;
Croce, Minton, sod Potter, to ht up a medieval court, or
chamber, in which one side will be hung with church furni-
ture', the three remaining sides with dons, stic furniture of
the same a'ra, and in the middle there will be a mixture of
flowerpots, font., arm chairs, tables, &e., which will re-
move the impression of a strictly ecclesiastical character in
a secular exhibition.

STEAM TO AUSTRALIA.—In the Lefsletive Council
of New South Wales, which were assemb ed in April last,
a member gave notice of hie intention to move tko follow-
ing resolution : " That whereas a sum of 6,0001. a year out
of the colonial revenue has been held at the disposal of the
home government for the last five years, for the purpose of
establishing steam communication with the mother country, ;
and whereas the respectful remonstrances made by this
house to the home government on this subject, from year to
year, since the year 1548, have hitherto been entirely with-
out avail, this house resolves: ' t. That in their opinion
the establishment of steam communication has never been
1 rendered probable, within a reasonable time, by any steps
which the home government have taken, and that the
ditti-
anity now publicly stated by the Secretary of State to have
I been interposed on the part of the }last India Company
ought not to have constituted a reason for the delay which
has taken place. 2. And, further' that it is the opinion of
! this house that the course pursued by the home government
has been a source of grievous disappointment to all classes
of her Majesty's subjects in this colony, and has retarded
very materially the social, political, and commercial ad-
vancement of the whole of the Australasian depen-
dencies.' "

THE AUSTUALIAN GOLD REGlON.—According to
the census taken just before the gol 1 discoveries in New
South Wales the population of the town of Bathurst and
Kelso was 2,591.

THE LIE STOCK OF THE COLONY OF SOUTH AUS-
TRALIA up to the end of the year 1850 was as follows
horses, 4.488; cows, 24,074; oxen, 42,222; calves, 13,027;
she.p, 897,860; goats, ; swine, 13,681.

FRANCE.

ream, F•toa EVENINO.
' The speech of M. Leon Faucher at Chalons con-
tinues to be the leading topic of public comment. The
Pattie shows some alarm at the very general offence
which certain sinister expressions of this manifesto
have given to members of the majority, who have
hitherto supported M. Fauvher's adnunietration as
the guarantee of legality, and attempts to smooth
down the meanings to which exception is taken. It
also throws some doubt on the accuracy of the re-
ported copy. 'f he SWele takes note of this apologetic
tone in the ministerial organ, as a recantation or •
disavowal.

M. Leon Faucher intends apparently to show as
little indulgence to caricatures as to newspapers, for '
It is stated to-day in his organ, the de Paris,
that a bill is to be presented to the Assembly on its
re-opening for subjecting to previous censure the
designs and engravings published by journals and
periodicals. Let thu Charirari look sharp.
The Petrie having lately attributed the removal of
M. Prondhou from the Conciergerie to St. Pelagie
to his disgust at the licentious habits of his fellow-
! prisoner, M. Charles Hugo, the great socialist, has
addressed a letter to the National, qualifying the
reasons elicited as an unworthy libel. Not even at
' the prison thresholddoes the persecution uf the govern-
ment against liberal writers cease, but when these
have been stripped of their liberty the ministerial
organs assail their private characters.
An article in the Piedmontese newspaper Opinions,
hinting at imminent war between Austria and Pied-
mont, and invoking English assistance, draws much
attention. The Petrie takes strong exceptions
against the appeal to British aid, which it says is
given often enough without being asked for.
M. Magee, Minister of Public Works, landed from
I (bit& Vecchia, at Toulon, on the 22nd, and is ex-
pected to arrive in Paris to-night.
Narvftes left Paris last night to return to Spain.
I The Duke of Levis left Paris last night to return

CO4IIMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANE, SATURDAY MORNING.

The colonial markets still continue dull, but generally
importers have not shown any dispo,ition to accept prices
below those of last week. The sales of Sugar have not
been Large, while previous rates have fallen GI to is. per
cwt. The illutch sales commenced on Monday,
and, as compared with tho rates of July, quo-
tations will be f. to 2f. lower. Coffee has been
held firmly, and full rates have been obtained, parti-
cularly for some East India descriptions; but some
sales of Mocha have been made at a decline of 3s. to 43. per
cwt. In the early part of the week Rice was sold at a de-
cline of 3d. per cwt., but rather more firmness is now appa-
rent. The alteration to notice in spice is a further reduction
of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. in the value of ginger. The amount
business transacted in the tea market has been small, and
without any material alteration in prices.

BRUSSELS FETES.

The (keg at Brussels in honour of the anniversa-
ries of national independence were continued on Wed-
' nesday. The distribution of prizes to the pupils of
the University, of the " Enseignement Moyen," and
the Veterinary School, took place with much pomp.
It havingbeen announced that the king would attend,'
the assemblage was extraordinarily great. The ce-
remony was commenced before the ling arrived, by
the Minister of the Interior; and when his Majesty
appeared, leading the Princess Charlotte by the
hand, and accompanied by the princes, his two
sons, ho was received with enthusiastic accla-
mations. The professor appointed to deliver the
customary address, having spoken of the "just
and enlightened king, called with his young dynasty
to protect the national institutions," was interrupted
with shouts loud and long. Thu harangue having
concluded, the king took the chair, and delivered the
prizes. The king, the princess, and the princes then
retired, amidst renewed acclamations. The other
parts of the day's amusements consisted of a balloon
ascent by M. Puitevin, on horseback, and of another
by M. Margal, with one large and two small bal-
loons; of the competition of the musical societies,
and of a fiWe given by the Cercle Artistiquo et Litte-
mire. The latter was of extraordinary beauty, and
passed off with great eclat. The king and the three
royal children attended it, and were received with
enthusiasm.

In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States, of this

ing the resolution of the Germanic Diet to abrogate the
fundamental rights: " The Chamber declares that the
federal resolution of the 23rd is contrary to the federal com-
pact, and to the constitution of the duchy ; in consequence,
it invites the goventmcnt not to carry out that resolution."
Tu morrow the bureaux arc to name a committee to examine

IRELAND.

MsLuc. Jrcy 10.
The Arkoeste of last evening sounds an alarm on
Itiase4INIMIIIISIM of the potato disease. That jour-

Dal Bays:
truly formidable disease which committed such ex-
iing., ravages among the potato crops of past seasons, has,
ems at this early period, mode its appearance in several
tsealitisa ; and, although we arc not disposed to act the part
of alarsai.a, yet the fact should be made generally known,
OD that the not indications of the presence of the disease
Ribs noted, and that measures may he adopted aceord-
to mitigate the evil as far all possible.
o particular instances of the blight are men-
tioned in the .Idroetste, but I find by the Cork papers
or yesterday that a Mr. Denis O'Leary, of Aghadoe,
reported the appearance of blight, although very
baited in extent; and the IVerfuni Ifidependext
Magae extensive agriculturist, resident in the vicinity of
Ills Maekamone, or Glom district, has sent us a large
bundle of the green stalks of the young crop, which exhibit
Unmistakable marks of the 'Argue-spot that attended the
destruction of the potato from the commencement of the
disease. lle says in his letter, "these have been taken in-
diseriminately from an early potato plot, and are from &t-
-hreat kinds."
It war to be regretted, however, that the fatal di-
atom should still be found lingering in some localities,
and that it will bo so found for many years to come
very probable, if indeed the potato should ever be-
come entirely free from it; and it is to be hoped
that the cases just mentioned are only symptoms of
that partial visitation. It is quite certain that the
confidence of the Irish agriculturists in the crop is
much stronger than it was this time last year, the
evidence of that being found in the fact, that although
the crop seems to be much more abundant, the pota-
toes exposed for sale are sold at a higher price than
they were at the same period last season.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MINCING LANE.-THIS DAY.

SUOAR.—This article has been dull during the week, and
importers have submitted in many instances to Is. decline,
but the reduced duty of Is. and Is. 6d. having come

advantage of the reduction. The sale of Mauritius
found buyers to-day at that reduction ; good white Bengali
are selling steadily. The refined market steady, and rather
bare of goods ready for delivery ; grocery lumps, fair to
fine, 475. to 495. 64.

THIS DAY.

The share market is extremely quiet, and prices
are generally stationary. In a few instances, where
sales have been premed, a slight reduction has been
submitted to; but still the check which has been
given to the prolonged downward movement is
looked upon with satisfaction, and an opinion is by
some parties freely expressed, that, with the settle-
ment of the account which expires on Wednesday
next, the market will assume more activity and in-
creased firmness of tone.

In the foreign share market the final announce-
ment of the agreement between the Northern of
France and the Boulogne and Amiens (the terms of
which were given in yesterday's Erpreu) has
brought the shares of the latter company into more
favour, and the price has advanced to

George Johnson—l am signal-man at the south end of
Clay-cross tunnel. My box is not quite half a mile from
the tunnel month. My duty is to give the signal to the
man at the other end of the tunnel by telegraphimmediately
a train comes in sight, and before I allow an other train to
follow through the tunnel, I receive a signal'from the nun
lat the other end that the train has passod s
assed
at hrough. The
fast train p his station on Monday night five minutes
past 10. I received a signal back in five minutes that it
was through. I then put on the caution signal, and kept it
lon for five minutes. In two minutes after this the goods
train came in sight, and I signalled it through the tunnel,
and in five minutes or more I received the signal back
I again that it was through.
By Mr. Frctson—The passenger train was 20 minutes
after time. The luggage train was rather before its
time; perhaps 10 minutes. Tho passenger train had •
tail lamp.
Thomas Bower, signal-man at the north end of the
tunnel, gave similar evidence. It was 6 minutes wt 10
when the pa senger train passed him. The goods train
posed him 01 or 101 minutes afterwards.
Henry Hudson—l am a porter at the Chesterfield station.
Came by the train on Monday evening from Derby. After'
the stoppage of the train he went up to the engine.
Thompson, the guard, came up at the lame time. Thomp-
son asked how long they would be before they could go on
and the engine-driver replied, "Ten minutes." The guard
then said, " I must go back again then." Witness had his
wife with him in the train. He went to the °cerise° to her,
in consequence of seeing her getting out; and having heard
the driver call out '' All right," told her to ga in again,
and shut the door. He got upon the guard's break, but
the goods train lmsaediately ran in., thews, sad he
was thrown down the embankment. He assisted in getting
the body of Mr. Meynell from under a luggage truck. Mr.
Meynell was quite dead. Saw Mr. Blake resting with his
back against the bridge. He thought the engine of the
luggage train had gone over Mr. Meynell.
By Mr. Frctson—lieard the engine driver cry out " all
right," but heard no voice from the end of the train call out
that there was any danger.
The inquest was then adjourned to Friday morning, and
the jury were taken by special train to view the locality of
the disaster.

NORTHUMBERLAND CLUB.

This contest was brought to its termination at Newcastle.
on-Tyne on Wednesday. in this match the Eleven have,
we believe, made a greater number of runs in one innings
than in any other in which they have been engaged since
they first went forth as the Eleven of England-. It will
have been remarked that the enormous amount of 306 runs
was plated upon their score (given in yesterday's &press)
of which Clarke contributed as many as 72, Mr. Myna 52,
Parr 35, llillyer 31, Calfyn 29, Mr. Felix 23, and Mar-
tingell 21.
Against this almost overwhelming hands the men of
Northumberland embarked upon their batting. Little,
however, was done until Anderson made his appearasee, and
he only contributed 20. Next to him in point of miner
of runs was Mr. Ruck, who offered 16; next was Mr. Dale,
15 ; then Wright (a given man from Sheffield), 13 ; nut J.
Moor, 11; then Lieut. Goodlake, Mr. Nichol, and Mr.
Martinson, jun., by each of whom the score was nausea
10 runs. The total of their first innings being but 1.51, of
mine as they were in a minority of 157, the representa-
tives of Northumberland were called upon to follow their
innings. This they did, and an inspection of the soon will
show that although they had reduced their minority to 56,
yet that the Eleven had only been able to deprive then of
five of their wickets. Of this number Wright obtained me
many as 65, by some admirable play; and Mr. Spencer 92.
The score was as follows :

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY.

SOUTHWARK.

Superintendent Field, of the detective force, accompanied
by Inspector Brennen and Sergeant Manning, of the K
division, requested the instant removal of Sarah Turner
Winter, who was brought before Mr. Seeker last evening,
charged with having in her pessesdon two hundred sove-
reigns, a gold watch and gold guard chains, two gold rings,
about twenty pounds weight of spun silk, and fifteen silk
handkerchiefs, supposed to be a portion of the property and
proceeds of the gold dust recently stolen from the South
Western Railway.
Mr. Field informed his worship that, in consequence of
the robbery of a large quantity of gold dust from the South
Western Railway, for which offence a man named nun-
phlin, was convicted at the late Winchester sessions, and
which gold dust has not been at present discovered, himself
and other officers have been actively engaged in attempting
to trace the property and other perpetrators of the robbery.
In the course of his inquiries, he ascertained that an im-
mense quantity of span silk, several gold watches, silk
handkerchiefs, lad Gahm property, had been stolen from the
Mae Blau station tithe railway at Vauxhall. He succeeded
la treeing some ofthe propeyyto a house in A Idgate , and appre-
hended a seas mated Wititcher, who was yesterday era-
Mined before Mr. Beadon, at Wandsworth, and remanded.
From the description of the property found in the posses-
sions( Mrs. Winter, he bad no doubt she was concerned in
the robbery; consequently, be wished his worship to order
her removal to Wandsworth police-court, instead of Lam-
beth, as the man will undergo another examination to-day
at the former court. The prisoner Winter's husband was
formerly a porter in the employ of the South Western Rail-
way, and was discharged a few months ago, on account of
thapumerous robberies.

Mr. Seeker consented, and the prisoner was, a few minutes
afterwanh, brought into court, and delivered over to the
custody of Superintendent Field, who conveyed her to
Wandsworth police-court.

AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY.—Yesterday the
sixth annual meeting of this company took place at the
London Tavern, Bishougateostreet, Mr. Daaies, chairman
of the board f directors, presiding. A report war read,
which stated that during the short time the new board of
directors had been in exastence' every effort had been made
to reduce the expenditure, and prompt measures had been
taken with a view to meet the particular circumstances of

y.
the colony. A properly qualifieil person had been sent out
to Australia as mining agent. 110 had been Instructed to
r make an accurate survey lathe colony, andfurnish the direc-
tors with a full account of its present and prospective condition
The recent proceedings of the governor indicated a desire to
I create a port at the mouth of the River Murray, and this
' would greatly enhance the value of property in the Tang
Killo district. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the
report, alluded to the fact of the directors not having been in
office for a sufficient length of time to be able to effect any
great changes, but they were fully assured that the gentle-
man (Mr. G. M. Hitching) whose services they had obtained
as mining agent, was well qualified, from his experience. in
mining operations in Cornwall, Cuba, and South America,
to undertake the duty. In allusion to the shares in the
company, the chairman observed that between 6,000
and 6000 still remained unpaid, but from the names of
the parties who held them, he had no doubt that they would
soon be paid. In the meantime they were bearing interest
to the amount of five per cent. The report was adopted,
