711 P, PRINCE OF WALES Al MALTA,

lower classes of fibre. When we reproached India
with sending us a poor quality of cotton, we should
remember that we had only given her a poor de-
mand; we had never been regular customers for the
better qualities; and when they were grown it always
happened that the natives found them unsuitable for
their purposes for spinning. India at present was
almost without machinery. If the proceedings of
this company were considered slow, it must be re-
membered that they had to feel their way, in order
to be sure they sent out the kind of machinery that
was suited to the cleaning of indigenous cotton, the
only cotton that could be reckoned upon for two
or three years to come. He was san uine that
the right kind of machinery had been selected.
The directors estimated the economy of labour
from the use of this machinery at about 5,400
hands per day, which he calculated to equal £45
per day. He believed pressing in the interior to
be the only right course in order to prevent adul-
teration which was now taking place to a greater
degree than ever, because the temptation was

the quality of the bale to equal the sample
by which they sold. They had resolved not to
become exporters, and also, whenever they held
orders, to consider that these orders had a priority
for all the cotton they should buy over all: that
might be purchased; and, although they might be
obliged to become purchasers of cotton on their
own account for re-sale in Bombay, that cotton
should never be purchased for themselves while
they held an executable order. They wished to
execute the order to Bombay, and to have the
Bombay agent as a sort of check upon themselves.

(bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir W. F.
Martin, K,C.8.), Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., which
was expected at Malta, left Corfu on the 27th
for the Pima, to join the Queen, 76, Capt. F. C.
Hillyar, and the Pelican, 17, Commander P. Brock,
already there. King Otho left Athens on board her
Britannic Majesty's sloop Scylla, 22, Capt. R. Lam-
bert, and escorted by a French gunboat, arrived at
Corfu on the morning of the 27th. Salutes were ex-
changed, but his dethroned Majesty proceeded on to
Venice without landing. The Scylla was expected
back at Corfu after landing the ex-King on Austrian
territory. The Shannon, 35, Capt. 0. J. Jones, was
at Patras, and the Icarus, 11, Corn. Salmon, V.C., at
Santa Maura. The Trident, 3, Com. Balfour, was
expected at Corfu on the 27th, and was to convey
Sir H. Bulwer, who was expected from Trieste on
that day, to Alexandria: An officer of this ship, R.
M. Curry, master, was tried by court-martial on the
21st inst., on board the Queen, for drunkenness,
Capt. Hillyar presiding, and sentenced to be dis-
missed the Trident, placed at the bottom of the list
of masters, and severely reprimanded. Another
court-martial assembled on board the Queen, on the
following day, also under the presidency of Capt.
Hillyer, to try a private of marines, named Moun-
tier, of her Majesty's ship Shannon, on five charges
of insubordinate conduct. He was found guilty, and
adjudged to receive 48 lashes, and to be imprisoned
for two years with hard labour. The Alacrity, 4,
Com. J. Baird, arrived from Corfu and Santa Mama
yesterday. The Algiers, 89, Capt. E. B. Rice, and
Amphion, 36, Capt. A. C. Gordon, have also arrived
from Corfu during the week. The Alacrity brought
as passengers Commander the Hon. A. Hobart (com-
manding the Foxhound), Mr. E. S. Wood, aide-de-
camp of Major-Gen. Wood; Capt. H. S. Holyoake,
let battalion 22d Regiment ; and Mr. J. C. Chap-
man. The Algiers had on board the following for
England—Mr. F. B. Henwood, R.N., Mr. R. M.
Curry, RN., Mr. G. F. Trollope, R.N., Lieut. C.
M. Smythe, 9th Regiment, 7 serjeants, 6 corporals,
22 soldiers, 9 women, 22 children, and 2 servants.
The Algiers and Amphion are under orders to pro-
ceed home to be paid off; the former will probably
leave on Monday, the 3d proximo, and the latter
to-morrow. The Neptune, 86, Capt. G. T. B.
Hornby, is on her way from Naples to Malta,
bound for England to be paid off, and the London,
68, Capt:ll. Chads, will also be ordered home shortly.
To replace these vessels we are expecting out here
the Trafalgar, 70, Capt. the Hon. T. Baillie ; the
St. George, 86 ; the Defence, 18, iron screw ship,
Capt. R. A. Powell, C.B. ; the Phoebe, M, Capt.
Fortescue ; and the Chanticleer, 17, Commander C.
Stirling. The Edgar, 90, bearing the flag of Rear-
Admiral S. C. Dacres, C. 8., Capt. the Hon. F. A.
Foley, and the Liffey, 51, Capt. G, Parker, have
already joined the Mediterranean squadron, the
former having arrived here this morning and ex-
changed the usual salute, and the latter arrived at
Gibraltar, where she relieved the Malacca, 17, Capt.
G. 3. Napier, which vessel is on her way to Malta.
The Wanderer, 4, Commander, M. C. Seymour,
after undergoing repairs and being fitted with Ord's
new apparatus for raising the screw at sea, left
Malta on Thursday last, on return to the coast of
Syria. The Foxhound, 4, Commander the Hon. A.
Hobart, has also been fitted with a similar apparatus
the invention of Mr. Ord, foreman of fitters of this
dockyard, and is still under repairs. No further
news has been received of the Mars 80, Capt. J. N.
Strange, which had been ordered to Malta some
time ago from the coast of Syria, and was to have
been relieved by the Scylla, which vessel, however,
our Minister at Athens deemed proper to retain at
the Pirwas. The Mars is short of provisions, but
no doubt steps will be immediately taken to supply
her with whatever she may be in want of. The
other ships on the coast of Syria are the Fire-
brand, 6, Commander Piers ; the Surprise, 4, Com-
mander W. H. Whyte; and the Firefly, surveying
ship, Commander Mansell.
Letters received yesterday from the North Ameri-
can squadron by our Chatham correspondent, an-
nounce the arrival at Fortress Monroe, on the 13th
ult., of her Majesty's screw sloop Peterel, 11, Com-
mander G. W. Watson, from Halifax, Nova
Scotia. The screw sloop Racer, 11, also arrived at
Fortress Monroe on the evening of the 13th of
Oct., from Baltimore, and left for Charlestown on
the following morning. The Racer would return to
Fortress Monroe in about a week, after which she
was to leave for England to be put out of commis-
sion. She was to call at Bermuda and Halifax on
her way home. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21,
400-horse power, Capt. J. F. Ross, was at anchor at
Fortress Monroe at the departure of the mail.

VALETTA, OCT. 31.

The Prince of Wales, who is accompanying his
sister, the Princess of Prussia, and her Royal hus-
band, the Crown Prince of Prussia, on a Mediter-
ranean tour, unexpectedly arrived here early yes-
terday morning from Tunis on board the Royal
yacht Osborne, escorted by her Majesty's frigate
Doris. The Royal party arrived at Palermo from
Marseilles, landed, and went up to Mount Reale.
Having asked Sir F. L. M'Clintock to accompany
them to Tunis, the Doris escorted the Osborne to
that place, where their Royal Highnesses were
very well received by the Bey, and, after visiting
the ruins of Carthage, started for Malta to replenish
the yacht's fuel. When 175 miles to the westward
of the island the port paddle shaft gave way. The
Doris then took the yacht in tow, shortly after
which her Majesty's ship
Edgar, bearing the flag
of Rear-Admiral Dacres, C. 8., was sighted and
communicated an offer of assistance, which, how-
ever, was declined. The Osborne has been taken
in hand by the dockyard for the removal of the dis-
abled paddle, so as to allow one wheel to work with-
out the other, and it is hitended she shall leave to-
morrow afternoon or early on Sunday morning for
Sicily and Naples, escorted, as before, by the Doris,
On arrival at Malta, the Governor, Sir Gaspard
Le Marchant, and his secretary, Mr. Munday, and
the Prussian Consul, Mr. Ferro, waited upon their
Royal Highnesses on board the yacht, and were
most courteously received ; but, as their Royal
Highnesses are travelling incognito, the firing of
salutes and other public manifestations of respect
were dispensed with. Soon afterwards the Royal
party landed, and took up their residence at the
Palace, which his excellency has given up for their
accommodation. Yesterday their Roy al Highnesses
held r reception at the Palace, and will hold another
this evening. This afternoon they attended a
review of the troops in garrison, on the Molina
parade ground: The Prince of Wales and the Prince
of Prussia appeared, in uniform, attended by the
officers of their respective suites. The Princess of
Prussia, who was looking remarkably well, and
has, I am informed, quite recovered her health, pro-
ceeded to the ground in Lady Lo Marchant's
carriage.

The report was unanimously adopted ; Mr. Fowler
and Mr. J. Heugh were re-elected directors, and
Mr. D. D. Dynes was elected an additional direc-
tor.

Mr. lleugh stated that he had on the previous
day spent some time with one of the leading mer-
chants of Bombay, who, after careful examination,
informed him, to his surprise, that it was probable,.
by the end of December, 1863, there would be
2,000,000 bales of cotton received from India—as
much as would keep all the mills going, supposing
no cotton came from America.

The Prince of Wales appears to be in robust
health, and has wonderfully improved in general
appearance since his last visit only a few months
ago. His Royal Highness is accompanied by
Lieutenant-General Knollys, Governor of his Royal
Highness's Household, and Colonel Keppel,
Equerry.

Her Majesty's now paddlewheel despatch vessel
Psyche, 835 tons, 250-horse power, Lieut. and Com-
mander Robert Sterne, yesterday sailed from Wool-
wich for Greenhithe to adjust compasses for sea.
She embarked a couple of passengers (soldiers'
wives) for Gibraltar, and is ordered to call at Ports-
mouth on her way down Channel.
Forty iron guns, strengthened on Capt. Blakely's
principle of wrought iron hoops shrunk on over the
breech, and rifled according to Commander Scott's
system, by order of his Highness the Viceroy of
Egypt, wero thoroughly tested at the Arsenal Butt,
Woolwich, and, having passed proof, they were

They have been despatched to Alexandria for the

In an age of revolutions it is not surprising to find
the 'icily-technic following the example of more ex-
teaded realms; and initoduciog an entire che,ego of
lectures and entertainments fur the long winter
evenings.. Happily, however, Mr. Pepper, who
presides over the Polytechnic domain with to much
judgment and ability, has effected his revolution not
only without the least disturbance, but his subjf.cts
—the numerous visitors of the institution—will hail
with satisfaction the new order of things. In the
first place, with a view. of responding to the strong
current in favour of musical entertainments, an en-
gagement has been made with the London Vocal
Quintett Union, which was established last June,
for the performances of operatic selections, classical
and modern concerted music, part songs, &c. Dur-
ing their engagement at the Polytechnic the Quin-
tett Union will especially devote themselves to the
performance of new part music. Miss Rose Iler-
see, Miss Ltflhr, Mr. Carter, Mr. Osborne Wit,
liams, and Mr. Do Fontainer are the artists enaged
to carry out this portion of the new programme,
which, judging from the manner of its reception
on the last two nights, is likely to be very popu-
lar. In the next portion of the evening's enter-
tainment, the visitors are invited to view the
" Seven Ages of a Great City,' illustrated by
dissolving views and dioramic effects. Mr. G. A.
Cooper presides over this department of the insti-
tution; and is quite. successful in entertaining his
audience. Herr lirin)Kler, as an exhibitor of power
in mental calculation, and Master Hamilton, as an
exponent of Scottish sung, afford very acceptable
additions of surprise and pleasure; and' after some
interesting experiments by Mr. J. L. King, illus-
trating "submarine: Warfare" on the large tank of
the institution, Mr. Pepper himself delivers one of
those lectures so familiar to Polytechnic visitors, of
which it is difficult to say whether the instruction
or the •entertainment is the predominant feature.
The subject of the present lecture is at this moment
the all:absorbing one of Cotton, and much as has
been recently written and spoken on this matter,
no one can listen to Mr. Pepper's comparatively
short lecture without feeling that he (the hearer)
has a firmer and a clearer grasp of it than before.
The qualities of zostera marina, flan, jute, and other
proposed fibrous substitutes for the cotton plant, are
discussed ; the difference between Sea Island, Indian,
and other cotton explained; the statistics of the
cotton trade condensed, and the modes of transit to
England illustrated. The comprehension of the
lecture is much facilitated by the aid of the oxyhy-
drogen microscope and a series of new dissolving
views designed and painted by Mr. Benwell, who
resided in India for some time. Mr. Pepper was
much applaud.ed at the close of his valuable lecture,
and still more so when he announced that the pro-
fits of one night's entertainment (on which the '
charge would be half-a-crown) would be devoted to
the relief of the distressed workmen in Lancashire.
Mr. Pepper has unquestionably produced an ex-
tremely interesting evening's entertainment, and we
congratulate him on the success of his revolution.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 4.—The rally in the price of cotton
at Liverpool, referred to at the close of Saturday's market
report, though not responded to in our cloth market to-day,
has influenced the yarn market to some extent, and we have
had more business, with better prices. The market is more
cheerful, and tbero is more disposition to do business.
Yarns for shipping are quoted id. per lb. higher than on
Friday last, and home trade yarns are fully id. per lb.
dearer. But for this advance we should probably have had
a considerable business. In fact, at last Friday's prices
sellers could have made some heavy sales. There has been
only a moderate business done for shipping at the advance.
Some offers have been made for yarns for India, but at
prices too low to meet the views of sellers, and they have
not led to transactions. A good deal is reported a's done for
the home trade, some at the full advance, and generally at
rather higher than last week's rates. For cloths there has
been very little more demand. More business could have
been done at the rates which would have been taken on Fri-
day last; and there have been some cheap lots of goods
taken off the market, but the amount is too small to be
taken as affecting prices generally. Nominally prices are
as dear for long cloths, T cloths, printers, and shirtings as
last week, and in some cases manufacturers arc rather
firmer; but the cloth market does not respond to the up-
ward course of cotton at Liverpool. Sellers hang back.
Offers have been made for good T's and domestics at 21d.
per lb., for which manufacturers are asking 233. In a few
instances speculators have been willing to sell at rather
under the prices demanded by manufacturers, but most of
the larger speculators hold rather firmly. Messrs. John
Slagg and Co. report :
" Prom Tuesday last to the end of the week the market
continued exceedingly flat, excepting some descriptions of
printing cloths, which were in request at full rates, and
prices were very irregular, with a downward tendency.
Yesterday and to-day, owing apparently to the stir at the
Liverpool Cotton-market, there has been rather less anxiety
to sell, and more firmness in adhering to the full prices of
last week ; but so far there is no improved demand, and
the business done is insignificant in amount."
LEEDS, 4th,—The markets in the cloth-halls have been
very quiet this morning. The attendance of buyers was
much below an average, and there was little disposition to
purchase more than small parcels of thick, plain, and fancy
fabrics as have been in vogue for some time. The day was
both wet and dark, tending to make business transactions
uncertain as well as uncomfortable. In other respects,
particularly as to prices, the market was as unsatisfactory
as could be expected.
NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, 3d.—Within the last fort-
night but few orders have arrived, and the result, as may
be anticipated, is that a slight drooping tendency exists as
regards quotations. Plates and rails continue in moderato
request. It is expected that prices will not fluctuate much
until the next quarter-day. The present average prices at
the works are as follows :—Merchant bars, £5 12s 6d to £5
15s ; rails, £5 15s to £6. It is again rumoured that Pont--
newyndd works will shortly start afresh, but the correctness
of the report is rather questionable. The coal trade is brisk,
there being a good demand, and the collieries are kept re-
gularly going. Prices are firm, and advanced quotations
are given by the coalmasters. The slight improvement at
the tin works, which was noticed in a previous report, has
not abated, and the trade shows signs of increased activity.
There is a tolerably fair inquiry for tin plates, and the trade
generally is moving.
ROCHDALE, 3d.—The flannel market has been more ace
tive than on this day se'nnight, there having been a better
attendance of buyers, and more disposition shown to pure
chase. Both plain and fancy products were in good re-
quest, and fetched fully late prices.
