There is a decrease this month on cotton yarn, and
a slighter one on woollens, but generally speaking,
the amounts are well kept up, and in many branches
an increase is observable.

The returns of foreign goods imported and con-
sumed show a steady increase in teu, sugar, coffee,
and tobacco, and even spirits have recovered.
The following analysis of the sugar returns gives
the best view of the state of the sugar consumption :

The quotations of foreign exchange were in moat
instances again higher yesterday, but Amsterdam and
Frankfort maintained the advance of last poet only,
whilst Hamburg, being in demand, was a ehnao
lower. The purchasers of bills expect a rise in the
exchange on London, and in the rate of discount at
the continental bourses in consequence of the events
at Paris, and therefore do not buy before they see to
what extent that rise will take place. Short Paris
was done at 25.25 to 30; ditto three months, 25.50
to 55. Amsterdam was not much dealt io ; it closes
11.181 to 19. Hamburg ruled at 13-101 to t.
Frankfort 1201 to 121. Bills on Italy were ex-
tremely dull, and in most eases hardly saleable. The
quotation for Vienna was merely nominal; an amount
was offered at 13.30, but no buyer could be found.

THIS DAY.

Two oTtoes.
The share market yesterday afternoon closed at a
heavy reduction in prices, and, after the regular
business hours, quotations were called at a further
decline on the last official rates. To-day, how-
ever, a better feeling has been observable.
Prices opened much better than they left off yester-
day, and. though they qaickly sympathised with the
retrograde. movement of P.m.* they are now
firmer again, and in most eases stand about equal to
the first rates of the day. Present quotations, how-
ever, show a very remarkable fall from those which
ruled at the beginning of the week, and the market
is still decidedly unsettled, extensive fluctuations
taking place hourly.

HANOVER.

The Hanoverian Chambers were opened on the
2nd instant, by Count Bennigsen. The death of the
King was officially announet4 and a variety of mea-
sures of finance and legal organisation were mown-
mended to the consideration of the Chamber. The
report of the union of the Steuerverein
with the Zollverein was read; it stated that Schaum-
burg-Lippe and Oldenburg had assented to the mea-
sure, though the treaty was not formally completed
by those states. The Hanoverian government saw in
the incorporation an essential means of promoting
the material interests of the country, though some
temporary inconvenience might be connected with it.
The government could not have calculated on long
maintaining a condition of commercial isolation. The
concessions made to Hanover by the treaty were not
more than just; and though it involved some in-
crease of taxation, the general prosperity of the
German states would be promoted by the measure,
and new sources of commercial activity opened to
Hanover itself.

for all the very prime lots competition was active, thus
proving that love for " the roast beef of Old England " is
uedimmished. The lots of Highland bullocks were not
very great, and the stock were much less in size than those
of last year; the "little was," however. fetched good prices.
The amount realised at the sale was 2,1441. 1 ls. Derby

Dumas, Dec. 6.
Owing to the extraordinary interest excited by the
case of Birch against Sir W. Somerville, which will
be tried to-day in the Court of Queen's Bench, the
authorities have deemed it necessary to adopt un-
usual precautions against in the court. Ad-
mission is to be by tickets issued by the
sheriff, and the • galleries have been set apart for
ladies. If the case be not brought to a premature
close by a nosenit, or such unforeseen occurrence,
it is likely to occupy the court curing three or four
days.
Adolphe Heiman, arrested in London on a charge
of obtaining money from Mr. Harris, a jeweller, of
this city, by means of false bills of exchange, and
also of obtaining valuable property from other per-
ms, was brought before the magistrates yesterday
at College-street police-oilice, and, after a protracted
examination, the prisoner was remanded.

WOOL MARKET-THIS DAY.

The foreign Wool market has been in a• very languid
state since the termination of the late public sales, bat
the last week has been unusually dull, which may, in some
degree, be attributed to the news from France. Prime

are larger than of late, comprising 5 bales from Antwerp,

THE PAPAL AGGRESSION.

MEETING OF THE PROTESTANTS OF SOUTH-

NVARK.

Last evening!' very numerously attended meeting
of the protestant inhabitants of Southwark was held at the
Bridge•housa Hotel, to petition parliatneat for an etfi..etual
bill of protection against the designs of popery. The chair
was occupied by Joitm VICKERS, Esq.

- -
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating the
object for which the meeting had been convened, He was
deeply impressed with the sentiment that " England ex-
pected every man to do his duty," and that the time had
come for the middle classes to bestir themselves. The con-
dition of the government of the country woe one which
must to painful to every right-thinking and noble-minded
Englishman, hut we were not to be frightened by a passing
cloud or a ministerial difficulty ; and now the protestant* of
Southwark were once more assembled to express their de-
votion to the b.-loved Queen of this country, to declare that
they were prepared to stand by her, and, if need ho, to shed
their blood in her defence,toencouragethe prime ministerof
England, and to tell him,in his own words,that the protestants
of this country "would not bate one jot of heart or hope"
in their glorious cause, and to warn him to depend more
upon the independent spirit of the protestant people of this
country than upon any ministerial majority by which he
miglit expect to carry his financial measures. lie concluded
by askiter whether those menthe's of parliament who sup-
ported the papal aggression were NO traitors to their Queen,
their country, and their tied ? (laid cries Yes, yes,"
followed by about 20 or 30 cries of No, no.")

AI'SLEY PELLATT, Es q. (a liberal dissenter) was the
first speaker. He commenced by twitting Lord John Rus-
sell for having followed up his celebrated letter to the
Bishop of Durham by introducing the contemptible Eccle-
siastical Titles Bill now before the House of Commons.

its effoets, there would be no doubt then that that was the
agent used by the prisoner, and a sentence of tninsportation
would assuredly he passed upon her.
A juryman said his brother jurors fully concurred in
the ousel-ratios of the learned judge as to severe measures
being adopted to repress the system of robbery by means of
chloroform.
The foreman said he had recently witnessed an operation
performed on a horse whilst under the influence of chloro-
form. In less than two minutes after its application to the
animal, complete insensibility was produced, and the opera-
tion performed —Sentence respited.
Tim THIEVES KITCHEN.
John Butler and John Carter, were convicted of having
stolen some driving reins and a sack, the property of Messrs.
Pratt and Sewell, the contractors, of Gray's-inn-lane.
Cooper, 111 G, stated that the prisoner used to occupy
the notorious place, called " The Thieves Kitchen," in Fox-
court, Carols-inn-lane. Since that den had been cleared
out he had got a place of the same infamous description in
Folwood's-rents, Holborn.
Fisher, 127 0, said he had known Butler for the last two
years, the whole of which time he had belonged to an in-
famous gang of burglars, pot stealers, and characters of
every desenption, the head quarters of which was Fox-
court.
The prisoners were sentenced each to nine months' hard
labour.
Mary Ann lratkins was indicted for having stolen from
the person of George Leonard, a purse, containing Si. 144.6 d.
Mr. Metcalf appeared for the prisoner.
The prosecutor was a courier attached to a foreign em-
bassy, and the robbery charged against the prisoner took
place at the Smithfield Cat'le Show, in December last.
The defence was, that it the time the robbery was com-
mitted the prisoner was at Birkenhead. This was the an-
swer made by her to the charge when she was taken into
custody in Regent-street, and evidence was given to show
that it was true.—The prisoner was Acquitted.
' - -

A SAVAGE.

Jerenuah Leary, a savage looking Irishman, was indicted I
for assaulting William Sullivan. Mr. Ilirnie defended. '
This case arose out of a quarrel at a public house. The
prosecutor, an elderly man, and the prisoner were country-
men and shopmates, and they had a quarrel upon some tri-
fling matter whilst drinking together. The prosecutor
went into the street, and the prisoner followed him,
knocked him down, and whilst he was lying on the ground
the prisoner with the ferocity of a wild beast flung him-
self upon him and bit off his under lip to the extent of an
inch in length, and rather more than half an inch in width.
lie declared he would also bite off his nose, but fortunately
the interference of some persons who were attracted by the
old man's cries to the spot prevented the execution of the
threat.—Guilty. lio was sentenced to eight months' im-
prisonment.

NATURAL POLITENESS OF SAILORS.—Soon after my
arrival the sailors went to dinner. Rows of tables in sym-
metrical order were spread over the floor; and seated at
these, I saw my old unmistakeable friends, the " blue
jackets," discuuing their beef; generally, what a naval
man would call a good set of men—strong, quiet, self-reli-
ant looking mon. One feels as if one was an intruder, and
comforts oneself with thinking of one's good intentions—
but don't be alarmed, visitor ! That is all your conceit.
Jack is nowise disturbed by your presence. Ho cuts his
beef, looks at you casually as you pass in your inspection,
and puts you quite at your ease! I really think that a Rai-
, lor has u good manners as you ever see anybody with.
There is such a calm good-natured independence about him;
a Neptunian politeness, which CSITIe, you along like a lino
rolling wave. " Manners," being, however, the character-
istic of a man " who feel, the dignity of a mon, and is con-
scious of hi. own "—as Carlyle has described it, and as
Brummell never knew it to be! The fact is, that a sailor is
generally in a true, real position—has certain work to do—
certain people to obey. There arc no false struggles, no
sham pretensions, afloat. Every thing is determined by
book and order. Jack will love a ruffian if he is an honest
ruffian, and a barbarian if he is a well-meaning barbarian.
It is the continual value set on reality at sea, that gives him
independence and self possession. The ocean knocks him
about till he is rounded like a pebble. Salt water keeps
character wholesome, as it preserves beef. —Dickens's
" Hotoshold Words."

WINDING-UP OP JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.
• ---
NATIONAL DRY MANURE COMCANY.—Yestersihs,
a meeting of the shareholders in this company was held be-
fore his Honour Master Ferrer, to make, in addition to a
call of 6s. per share previously made, a concluding call of
21. per share, to pay off liabilities. Mr. Harding, the offki..l
manager, presented his report, which stated the present
amount of claims proved, and that may be proved against
the company, at 1,2991. • but which sums would be com-
promised fin 9001., the manager having succeeded
in inducing the creditors to take a compensation of 13s. 4d.
in the pound. Eleven other claims, amounting to 5,7121.,
had been successfully disputed and disallowed. The
amount still due from contributories in respect of the first
call was 2,601/., of which it is estimated only 1301. will now
be recovered, there being no rower than 8,710 shares out of
tho 11,940 settled on the list, from which, owing to the
owners having become insolvent, nothing is expected
to be recovered. The proposed call of 21. per share
is calculated to produce 1,2001. Mr. Hudson, on behalf
of Mr. Alexander, holder of 100 shares, opposed the call
both as to form and amount. After considerable discussion
his Honour declared the call payable on flth April next, in-
timating that he would give Mr. Alexander another meeting
to show cause on his own account against it, and observing
that it was no part of his duty ur desire to deal harshly
with individuals in carrying out an unusually harsh act of
parliament.
KOLLMANN'S RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY.—
Yesterday, after considerable discussion, his Honour, Master
Kintlerdey, declared a final call of 91. per share on the
shareholders in this company, which it is estimated by Mr.
Geodchap, the official manager, will suffice to wind up the
affairs. The call is made subject to the right of the repose-
, sentatives of Mr. Cowper to show cause on his behalf
against it.

directors propositiosu for consideration and approval. The
chair wastakenat 2o'clock by Mr. Burcn, the chairman of
the board.

The CHAIRMAN slid the directors had thought it de-
sirable to call the shareholders together to consult as to the
best mode of dealing with the scrip which was last ieeucd.
That scrip was originally issued for the purpose of paying
off the creditors of the company; but the difficulties which
arose subsequently, presented the object from being car-
ried out as early as had been anticipated. The directors
had, in spite of every threat, refused to make any further
call, till there was some prospeet of daylight. 'the total
amount of calls made was 21. and the greater portion

BOW-STREET.

„
John Weaver, a fruiterer, of Covent-garden market,
was charged with committing a brutal assault on Daniel
Ping, a broker's man in the employ of Mr. Richard Chad-
wick, St. Martin's-lane.
It appeared that on Tuesday the complainant was put in
possession of the defendant's apartments in Bedford-court,
Covent-garden, when the defendant demanded his autho-
. rity, which, on being shown, ho snatched at and tore. Ha
then rushed like a madman at complainant, seised him,
and threw him against the bed with such violence as to cut
and bruise his face most severely, and then seized a fire-
shovel, and threatened to hit him with that. Ile then
locked the door and swore that, as the bro-
ker's man was there, there he should stop; but sub-
sequently changed his mind, and threatened to throw
him out of the window. Complainant's cries brought police-
con-table 20 k' to the door of the room, but it was some
time before the defendant would open it ; and when he
din, he threatened to knock the policeman down stairs,
if he interfered; ho was, however, ultimately taken into
custody.
Mr. Iletui said people must not be thus violently resisted
in the execution of the law, and ordered defendant to pay •
fine of 6L to be imprisoned for two months.
John 711homae alias Daniel Proctor, an old begging im-
postor, was charged with annoying gentlemen by impor-
tuning them for charity on Tuesday night, at Covent-gar-
den 'I !testae.
It appeared that the prisoner bad been carrying on the
trade of a regular begging impostor for the last 12 years,
and had been imprisoned several times.
Mr. Henry committed him to the House of Correction for
one calendar month. _ _ _ .

Woe. H. lisioddsg, remanded upon a charge of embezzle-
ment of sundry moneys the property of his employers,
Mews. Meredith, of Birmingham, varnish manufacturers,
was again placed at the bar, and in addition to the sums
already proved to have been received by the prisoner, in-
cluding the 2511. which he admitted to have received and
not accounted for to the executors of the late Mr. John
Meredith, it was proved that he had received cash from
various parties, or their cheques on their bankers for the
several amounts, making a total of 4001.
The prisoner reserved his defence, and was committed for
trial.

could offer. The monied men express one opinion to the pub-
lic and another to those initiated into the mysteries of
stock-jobbing, and they who profess to be most sanguine
will probably be the last to invest their spare capital
in the new loan. It is a sign of the times to which I have
before called your attention, that the wealthier bankers and
merchants have, during the last two or three years, sunk
a great part of their capital in landed property. From
what I see and hear, I am induced to believe that
85,000,0008. can hardly be raised by " voluntary" subscrip-
tion.

in another column.)

The Emperor of Austria has addressed the follow-
ing autograph letter to Prince Schwartzenburg :
Dear Prince Fichwartsenberg,—Considering the state of
our finances, I find it necessary to recommend to my minis-
try the greatest possible economy in the branches of ad-
ministration which are confided to it, and to invite it to
submit to rue projects tending to bring about all reductions

FLOGGING IN 'rue ARMY.—In a report made to
the secretary at war by Lieut. Col. Jebb, the inspector ge-
neral
ilt of military prisons, which hasjust been printed in a
parliamentary paper, the subject of g in the army is
brought forward. It seems that ire ment in lieu of
corporal punishment has been bens i dal in its operation
notwithstanding the contrary opinion of a number of mili-
tary officers. Col. Jebb states: .If the views of the most
experienced °Seen in Her Majesty's service us to the deter-
ring indoors ot corporal push sat were torrent, a great
increase of white is the army might have been anticipated

mot been unfavourable, and though it may partly be attri-
buted to the encouragement given to good conduct, the
better class of men who have entered the service, and the
partial discharge of some of the worst characters, yet taling
all this into amount, I think experience has sutEmertly

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1851.

The Morning Courier, in an article on the relative
trade of the United State. and Great Britain, says:
The foreign tonnage employed by the United Kingdom
exceeds but by a few tons that employed in the foreign
trade of the United States. If we include in our coasting
trade the boats navigating our lakes and western rivers,
not registered, we will Bad that in this respect the coasting
tonnage of Great Britain is far exceeded by our own, and
without this addition loses greatly. by the comparison.
One observable point, however, in the above, must
not be overlooked in the oggregates—we mean the
amount of tonnage of foreign vessels entering th 3
ports of the United States and Great Bri aiu' after
the tonnage of the respective countries is deducted. The
total American tonnage included in this statement of
entries is 2,573,016; that for the United Kingdom, 3,367,341.
We have, therefore, these results:
Eutry Tonnage of Great Britain. Do. of United States.
4,963,063 tons. 4,348,639 tons.
Deduct.... 3,367,341 „ 2,573,016 „

1,595,722 1.775,623
Them figures show that our foreign intercourse is
quite as extensive as that enjoyed by the mother country,
notwithstanding the declared value of her imports and ex-
ports.

WORSHIP-STREET.

JoArt Gray alias Barrett, James Brookes, and Edward
Samford were charged with having assaulted and attempted
to steal a gold watch from the person of Joseph Buckley, •
jeweller in Galway-street, St. Luke's.
The prosecutor stated that about one o'clock that morn-
ing he was returning home accompanied by • friend, and
while passing through Hoxton-square he was seised with a
sudden illness which obliged him to lean upon his com-
panion for support and rest his head against the lamp-post.
lie had scarcely been a moment in that position when the
prisoners, who were walking arm-in-arm, advanced to-
wards them, and purposely pushed against them with such
violence as to force them into the road. On demanding
what they meant by such conduct, they were assailed with
abusive epithets by the prisoners, one of whom pulled off
his coat, and having challenged him to fight, wituou, who
felt greatly exasperated, placed himself in a defensive atti-
tude, but before his assailant had time to commence the
attack, the prisoner Gray interposed between them, and in
a tone of conciliation advised them to shake hinds and
settle the dispute in an amicable manner. Witness assented
to the proposal, but at the same moment felt • slight jerk at
his watch chain, and on looking down observed his
watch in the hands of Gray, who had adroitly abstracted
it from his waistcoat pocket, but without detaching it front
the guard, which was still round his neck. Witness suc-
ceeded by • rapid effort in forcing it from hint, and pulling
a knife from his pocket, threatened to employ it against
them if they subjected him to further molestation ; and in
the course of the altercation that ensued a policeman made
his appearance and enured the prisoner Gray, who was
followed to the station house by his companions, where
they were also given into custody.
Inspector Brennan, of the 0 division, said that he knew
them all to he the associates of thieves, and that Gray,
whose real name was Barrett, had been summarily con-
victed of dog stealing, and had also born in custody fur
other offences.

HAMBURG.

The Roatock Gazette states that the Pope is about
to create at Hamburg the sec of a bishopric for
Northern Germany.

ITALY.

NAPLES.—The Paris Pattie asserts that, accord-
ing to private information of its own, the King of
Naples, in order to reply by official acts and public
information to the accusations against his govern-
ment, has appointed a committee to reform the pri-
sons in his kingdom. This seems to be an admission
that they stand in need of reform; but it is added
that several members of the carps diploma:eget have
been invited to watch the labours of the committee,
visit the prisons with them, and to judge with their
own eyes of the value of the assertions that have
been made respecting them.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Private accounts, received in the City, state that
the colony was suffering deeply and extensively from the
war. There was little safety for either life or property,
and reinforcements from England, the Cape, aid Mauri-
tius were absolutely necessary. Trade in the eastern pro-
vince had suffered severely, and the farmers, both English
and Dutch, had sustained heavy losses in cattle and sheep,
&c., many having lost thousands of heads of the latter.
The export of the principle staple of the eastern pro-
vince, which, but for the war, would this year
have been very large, will now necessarily be small.
The import trade was of course also suffering. Sir
Harry Smith, who had previously refused a force
of 1,500 men from the Mauritius, had despatched her Ma-
jesty's steamer Hermes to Port Louis, for all the troops that
could be spared from thence. Instructions had been re-
ceived from the home government to provide for the present
government of the colony, until further provision be made,
by a council of six members (exclusive of the governor),
either officials or the governor's nominees, five thereof,
including the governor, or four, including the member who
may preside in his absence, to form a quorum. But, when
the Legislative council shall be assembled to pass the ordi-
nances 't fur constituting a future parliament," it must
consist of the former number of ten or twelve members,
exclusive of the governor.

traded without reasonable expectation, of payment, and
that he should be jestilied in pronouncing a judgment on
that ground. He, however, preferred dealing with the
case on the general ground that a preference had been given
to the sisters by having the warrant of attorney which had
swept off all the property supplied. It was a ease to a se-
rious extant, and displayed a very improper spirit in the
mode of dealing under such circumstances. llis Honour
adjudged the insolvent to fourteen months' imprisonment
from the vesting order, for giving an endue preference to
his sisters to the injury of the other creditors.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter of the 22nd inst., from Berne, states that
on that day, at eight in the morning, 80 peasants
made a descent on the radical town of Fribourg, and
suecteded in getting possession of some cannon in
the old establishment of the Jesuits. The government
caused the tocsin to ring, and the yeueruh, to heat.
The militia marched against the peasants, who occu-
pied the upper part of the town. The affair was
.mart, but of short duration. Eight were killed or
wounded. The Kill peasants in question formed the
advanced guard of a body of 2,000, which dispersed
when they heard of the defeat of their comrades.

is, that the sales have in many instances been

The Copiapo Mining Company have received ad-
vices dated Jan. 24. The manager's report of the
workings of the copper and silver mines is considered
satisfactory.
At La Compania copper mine, in driving the 18
fathom level east, there is a lode 4 feet wide, thickly
interspersed with rich ore throughout, and a must
promising looking lode. The stapes in the back of
the 10-fathom level are looking much the suave as
last month, and continue to yield ore of a superior
quality.
At La Reyna—The lode in the shaft is still very
large, having no wall on either side, and although
not yielding a great quantity of ore fit for exporta-
tion, must improve in depth. The operations at the
other mines are steadily progressing. The total pro-
duce for December was 70 tons of copper ores.
At Alfin Hallada (silver mine).—ln this mine a fair
quantity of average quality ore continues to be raised.
'the different levels still look well, and more particu-
larly in the bottom of the mine,where the lode is
large, and thickly interspersed with white silver.
The north part of the mine is also looking well. The
ore now on the Concha is about 10 cajunes (30 tons),l
and will be divided on the 30th.
At Carmen Alto.—The lode in the 16 fathom level
is 3 feet wide, composed of fine quartz and prian, and
in the Peruna it shows a little silver.
From the gold mine, Deseubridora de Oro, we
learn that little has been done during the past month,
but 14 ounces of gold have been returned, and the
same quantity may be expected for the present
month. From 4 to 5 tons of superior copper ore
have been sent to the port of Flamenco.
