depressed politic:3, finances, and rents alike. The
present, he exclaims, in our times is dull and un-
imaginative, and the prophecies for the future are
positively mute. The more personal paper that
follows, " What We are all About," does not
draw a much more lively picture of affairs
in this country. It begins by asking, "
there a Government or not ?" and, after sur-
veying the state of things in Europe, ends
with some very wise advice to Lord Palmerston's
successor, namely, to think twice before he
threatens, and never to utter threats he is unwilling
to fulfil. Mr. Harrison Ainsworth continues his
story of " The Spendthrift," and leaves his unfor-
tunate hero in a very ominous position. A paper,
with the curious title of " Thanatos Athanatos,"
is rightly called "a medley ;" however, it contains
some well expressed thoughts and appropriate quo-
tations. The " Steward's Bargaia' is a long and
not particularly attractive story. A paper on
" Thomas Carlyle," by Monkshood, will be found
interesting.

practical nature, in a more succinct manner than
its voluminous heading would lead the reader to
anticipate. "Au Artillery
. Officer," in " considering
the late war with Russia, arrives at this conclusion
among others—that the long and stubborn defence
of Sebastopol by the Russ partook infinitely more of
a passive than of an active or daring character,
and that his deeds, when calmly considered, will
be deemed as nothing compared with the active
hardihood and the resolute courage of those who
attacked and who persevered, often and long, un-
der the most appalling sufferings—a. conclusion
warranted by all we know, and which has our
entire concurrence. An exposition of the. " Oude"
question leads to the expression of an opinion that
the deposition of the Oude dynasty was an, act of
justice. " Russell's History of the War' •
re-
viewed "by Philip Dixon, Captain Royal Arti▪ llery,
and Brevet Major," whose envenomed strictures,
we doubt not, will be duly disposed of. Most of
them are of a common-place character. " Sketches
of French Admirals " are continued. " The Cape
Military Colonists " offers no great encouragement
to the advocates of military colonisation, and forc-
ibly demonstrates the absurdity of expecting from
a number of turbulent and worthless foreign re-
cruits what could hardly be anticipated from our
own loyal and orderly veterans. "Shades of Wel-
lington and Napier, what singular military mis-
takes we do make now !" " The Fight for the
Quarries " is one of those stirring narratives of in-
dividual experience, apparently in the ranks, which
will infallibly be put under contribution by the
future popular historian of the Siege of Sebastopol.

TRADE AND COMMERCE.

Though blessed with a lovely climate during the
greater part of the year, we are as querulous on the ap-
pearance of bad weather as the denizens of the foggy
land of our fathers, but for a widely-different reasofi. A
few days' rain serves to render our unbridged rivers im-
passable, our roads bottomless with mud, and thus
almost entirely to suspend the traffic between the metro.
polis and the interior. An excessively-rainy winter has,
for months, all but cut off communication with the
Diggings, and run up the rates of dray-hire to such an
exorbitant height as to prohibit its use as a means of
conveyance, except in very emergent cases. The conse-
quence has been that trade in Melbourne has been
sluggish, and merchants have been holding over their
stocks, under the impression that when the weather im-
proved such a demand would arise for their commo-
dities as to justify them in refusing the low prices
then ruling. In this they were probably not altogether
mistaken, for during the last fortnight there has been a
marked improvement in the weather, a slight decline in
dray hire, and an increased activity in trade ; but the
amount of stocks on the diggings have been unerrated,
and large supplies of staple articles of food have mean-
while been conveyed up the Murray into the very heart
of the province by the enterprise of the merchants of
Adelaide. Still business is sound and steady, and, in
consequence of judicious exports from the home coun-
try, no longer exhibits those violent fluctuations which
were formerly the characteristic of the Melbourne
trade.

The return of imports and exports for the four weeks
ending the 26th ult. have been as follow :
Imports. Exports.
For the week ended July 5 £193,648
For the week ended July 12 261,150
For the week ended July 19 241,650
For the week ended July 26 121,183 ....., 80,561
The imports it will thus be seen have been much in
excess of the exports.
At the present moment there is great excitement in
the flour market, owing to advices from Valparaiso to
the effect that the crops had been destroyed by severe
I weather. Though this statement has been doubted by
many, it has had the effect of raising the price of flour
fully 51. per ton. These reports have been brought by
the Ingeborg, from Chili, and made current by Messrs.
Bright Brothers, whose honour as merchants is unim-
peachable.

THE ENGEM PRESS.-LOUIS NAPO-
LEONS FUST WA iIVING.

( From Punch.)

PAWS, Oct. 24,

WHEREAS,—It having been made known to, us that for
some time past, various infernal machines of the English
Press have dealt in grossest calumnies on the purity, libe-
rality, to say nothing of the liberty, of the French Gore n-
rnent—calumnica the most atrocious, inasmuch as the
Fieschi-like propagators thereof have not had the courage
to affix their names to their doings, the contrary custom
distinguishing and elevating the Press of France,—This is
to give notice that to the present date we have thought
the best answer to these slanders was our Imperial con-
tempt. We know, and in all the affectionateness of the
alliance, lament the indulgence granted to the Press of
England by the mistaken tenderness of the English
Government. We, therefore, for the present, shall con-
tent our Imperial self with this definite notice of an evil
that if persisted in, may, as with a drawn sword, sever the
ties that now unite the two nations. We would have
both the French and the English people united, hand to
hand, by the same handcuff ; and both their mouths
gagged with the same gag. It is only by such
an union, by such an iron alliance, that the peace of the
world can be guaranteed, and order assured.
It has not escaped the Imperial mind that, on a high and
solemn occasion at the Hall of Fishmongers, Albert the
King Consort profoundly observed that " Constitutional
Government was on its trial." Most wise, most true, most
just ! Constitutional Government has been tried, and is
now and for ever to be condemned as found wanting. Our
mission is peace. The olive is for ideologists the gag is
the only symbol of tranquillity and order.
It is, therefore, our Imperial will and pleasure that the
Press of the British Isles will, from and after the
present
date, consider itself to have received a first warning.
Given under our Iron Hand,
Louis NAPOLEON, Emperor of the French,
(and Ex-Special Constable of the English.)

Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL-00T. 31.

We had not a large attendance this morning, but there
were millers and dealers from a distance, who purchased
to a fair extent of wheat, at quite as good prices as were
current on Tuesday. Flour did not move so readily es
wheat, but full prices were obtainable for a good article.
Indian corn slack in demand, but towards the close a feW
speculative buyers appeared, and took off several parcels
at Tuesday's prices. Oats and oatmeal were rather easier
in price. Barley, beans, and peas were unchanged in
value.

NAPLES.

NAPLES, Oct. 27.—After referring to the depar-
ture of the members of the British and French
Legations, the correspondent of the Times
says do not expect a disturbance. My
reasons for this expectation are as follow :—The
Liberal party are well convinced that their strength
lies in tranquillity and legality ; that which
they invoke from others they mean to ob-
serve themselves, and they will not, therefore, as
a party, take any false step which may lay them
open to the charge of folly and imprudence, or
expose them to the violence of the Government.
Again, there is much more than force sufficient in
the capital to crush the host combined efforts on
the part of the Liberals, and that force will be em-
ployed energetically and promptly on the first ap-
pearance of disorder. Prudence and fear would,
therefore, unite to keep the Progresista party
quiet; and the only question that remains to be
disposed of is whether Government will itself pro-
mote any disorder.
All hopes of concession and conciliation are now
at an end, and speculation is active as to what
turn affairs will take next.

A daring burglary was committed on Thursday near
Troway, in Derbyshire. Mr. Oakes, the owner of the
house broken into, was threatened with instant death if
he made the slightest noise. The villains remained some
hours in the house regaling themselves. The following
day they were apprehended and fully committed for trial.
Yesterday, at a meeting of the Marylebone Poor-law

Thomas Battersby was on Thursday sentenced by the
Common Serjeant to four years' penal servitude, for
uttering forged receipts with intent to defraud the South

A late officer of the Baltic fleet has written to a con-
temporary, in reference to the remarks of Sir R. Peel
on the conduct of Sir C. Napier. He says :—" Being
one of those who spent the entire of last summer before
the fortress of Cronstadt, I had ample opportunities of
seeing the dangers likely to occur to any one rash enough
to try to force a passage into the Neva, and I have no
hesitation in saying no ono but a madnian would attempt
it. Not more than one or two vessels could go in
abreast, and they would be immediately sunk. I should
like to know how the others would then get past. Cron-
stadt might have been shelled last year ; but when
Commander Boyd, of the Royal George, showed how it
might bo done, he was immediately silenced. No doubt
the same policy saved it that saved Odessa. If Duke
Constantine and the youngest midshipman told Sir
Robert Peel what ho says they did, I have no doubt
they told it with their tongues stuck in the side of their
mouths."

AUSTRALIA.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
By the overland mail advices have been received
from Melbourne to the Bth of August.
These advices were brought by the iron clipper
ship Ellen Bates (belonging to Mr. Edmund Bates,
of this port), which left Melbourne at 7.15 a.m. on
the Bth, in company with the royal mail ship James
Barnes, Capt. M'Donnell, for this port. She ar-
rived at Bombay on the 2d October, after a capi-
tal run, and upon her arrival her commander,
Capt. Ellwood, forwarded a file of Melbourne
papers up to the time of her leaving, per overland. '
mail, to Thos. Court, Esq., secretary to the Liver-
pool Underwriters' Association.
The dames Baines had on board 173,539 ounces
of gold, equal to 694,1561.
The Ballarat, True Briton, Annie Wilson, and
Royal Sovereign, from London, and the Redan,
from Liverpool, bad arrived at Melbourne.
The William Money was to sail on the 12th
August, and the Lightning on the 26th, with the
English mails, both for this port ; and the True
Briton, for London, Sept. 7.
The latest English advices were to 6th May, the
royal mail-ship Red Jacket, with the mails of the
20th, not having arrived when the Ellen Bates
sailed.

The dates by the present arrival are :—Mel-
bourne, Aug. 8 ; Sydney, July 30 ; Adelaide,
Aug. 1; Hobart Town, July 28 ; Launceston,
July 29 ; and New Zealand, July 5.
From the summary prepared by the Melbourne
Age, of the sth of August, for the James Baines,
we make the following extracts :
We are now on the eve of the general election—the
first under the new constitution. The day is fixed for
the issuing of the writs for the Upper House, the elec-
tions for which are to take place during the present
month. The elections for the Lower House follow, and
will probably occupy the whole of September. The new
Parliament is expected to meet in October.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

We have received Sydney papers to the 30th
July. The Empire remarks : " Though the re-
turns for the census of 1855 are not yet prepared
for publication, we learn that the important work
of ' numbering the people' has been completed.
The grand total is much smaller than the result
was generally expected to exhibit. The aggregate
of the population is set down at 268,737 persons,
of which number 2,542 are unclassified,' being on
shipboard or in other ;respects undenizened. The
census returns taken on the Ist March, 1851, gave
a general total of 187,243, so that the population
has increased during the last five years by 81,494
persons. We understand the returns in taking the
present census have amounted to 44,094, of which
2,455 abstracts have been made in bringing out
the result. We mention these facts as curious of
themselves, and as showing the complicated labour
involved in what to many might appear a work of
great simplicity.
The Legislative Assembly was to meet, pursuant
to adjournment, ou Tuesday, sth August. Several
country members had arrived in town before the
29th of July, and the attendance was likely to be
1 nurnerns.

TRADE AND COMMERCE.

Though blessed with a lovely climate during the
greater part of the year, we are as querulous on the ap-
pearance of bad weather as the denizens of the foggy
land of our fathers, but for a widely-different reason. Al
few days' rain serves to render our anbridged rivers im-
passable, our roads bottomless with mud, and thus
almost entirely to suspend the traffic between the metro.
polls and the interior. An excessively-rainy winter has,
for months, all but cut off communication with the
Diggings, and run up the rates of dray-hire to such an
exorbitant height as to prohibit its use as a means of
conveyance, except in very emergent cases. The conse-
quence has been that trade in Melbourne has been
sluggish, and merchants have been holding over their
stocks, under the impression that when the weather im-
proved such a demand would arise for their commo-
dities as to justify them in refusing the low prices
then ruling. in this they were probably not altogether
mistaken, for during the last fortnight there has been a
marked improvement in the weather, a slight decline in
dray hire, and an increased activity in trade ; but the
amount of stocks on the diggings have been underrated,
and large supplies of staple articles of food have mean-
while been conveyed up the Murray into the very heart
of the province by the enterprise of the merchants of
Adelaide. Still business is sound and steady, and, in
consequence of judicious exports from the home coun-
try, no longer exhibits those violent fluctuations which
were formerly the characteristic of the Melbourne
trade.

The return of imports and exports for the four weeks
ending the 26th ult. have been as follow :
Imports. Exports.
For the week ended July 5 X 193,618
For the week ended July 12 261,150
For the week ended July 19 244,650
For the week ended July 26 121,183 ....., 80,561
The imports it will thus be seen have been much in
excess of the exports.
At the present moment there is great excitement in
the flour market, owing to advices from Valparaiso to
the effect that the crops had been destroyed by severe
weather. Though this statement hai been doubted by
many, it has had the effect of raising the price of flour
fully Si. per ton. These reports have been brought by
the Ingeborg, from Chili, and made current by Messrs.
Bright Brothers, whose honour as merchants is unim•
peachable.
London, England, 1856-11-01

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 27th contain no
political news of interest. The Railway Gazette
says that it is not true that the credit companies
in Spain have, as has been reported, protested
against the decree suspendingithe sale of the national
property. The Danish minister, who had been dan-
gerously ill, was considered likely to recover. A let-
ter from a ministerial source says :—" The
rumours that have been in circulation during the
last two days as to a ministerial crisis are un-
founded ; the Queen continues to place con-
fidence in Marshal Narvaez. Several Paris
journals have published letters and articles
which assert that the Queen had demanded
that the property belonging to the clergy should
be restored, and that the Marquis de Viluma
had been summoned to form a ministry in the
room of Narvaez. But there is no truth in
tkese statements. Largo quantities of wheat
have arrived from the provinces, and a fall in
price in this city is to be expected. It was
reported that 100,000 bushels have been pur-
chased at Marseilles. There is a rumour of esta-
blishing, under the presidency of M. Mon, an
association for promoting the cause of free
trade in this country. In addition to the in-
corporation of the provincial militia in the
army, the Government thinks of forming a re-
serve, which will be ready to take arms at the
first summons. The news from Catalonia continues
to be satisfactory, but two leading democrats be-
longing to the provilace have been exiled to the
Canaries."

TANDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1858.

The British Fleet still remains in the Euxine,
and will so remain until Russia has fully and
fairly performed her undertakings. It has been
erroneously stated that the Ottoman Government
had remonstrated with our own against a cmi.
Untied occupation of those waters by a warlike
squadron. The PORTE is too well aware
of the unquestionable purity of the English
motives to suppose that there can be any sinister
design connected with the presence of the fleet.
Austria still retains a holy of troops in the Prin-
ciPslities—troops paid, clothed, and provisioned
at the expense of the unfortunate inhabitants.
Ruska has, without the slightest foundation, seL:ed
on the Isle of Serpents, and raised quibbles re-
specting Bolgrad of the most shameless and dis-
graceful character. Nor can we pass over in
silence the proceedings relating to the rectification
of the frontier. In that case the representatirei
of Rnmia, some of the highest in the land,
were guilty of a wilful and deliberate falsification
of important docutneutF,, or perhaps it might be
correctly stated, the uttering of these documents,
well knowing them to be fraudulent, for which,
if private individuals, they might properly be
required to hold up their hands at the Central
Criminal Court. By such means they have striven
to abate the mortification of the ArrocßAT. But
OM hem incurred a very serious risk of new

THE YIELD OF GOLD.

The yield of gold for this last month has been rather
under, than over, the usual monthly average. The re-
ceipts by escort for the last four weeks have been as fol-

While in the corresponding month for the year 1855
the returns were 891,600 oz.
This defioiency, however, is to be primarily accounted
for by the unusually wet weather for the last few weeks,
which has impeded mining operatiOns to a very great
extent. This has been especially the case where mining
is pursued by individual diggers under the old system.
The diggers in many instances are quite unable to
overcome the water, unless by associated parties and an
improved system of operation. As it is, the individual
diggers have had to abandon their old ground and go in
search of new, so long as the wet weather holds out.
Puddling and quartz crushing operations have, however,
been progressing as usual, and greatly helped to keep up
the escort returns.

Exaggerated reports of the discovery of rich diggings
in the neighbouring colony of New South Wales have
also been the means of affecting the gold returns and
drawing off a great number of our diggers. The late
accounts from that district, however, have been rather
unfavourable, and a great many are returning, quite die.
appointed. Our emigration outwards has been more
than counterbalanced by the immigration of Chinese, who
are arriving in great numbers overland from Adelaide, in
order to escape the tax of 10/. per head which is levied
on all Chinese arriving at our ports.
Under the head of mineral resources, we have now to
mention the discovery of a coalfield at a short distance
from Melbourne. Nothing very definite, however, is
yet ascertained about it.

Under the same bead we have to report the discovery
within the last few days of an extensive field of stream
tin at Tarradale, in the neighbourhood of Castlemaine.
It is found to be similar to that discovered at the
Ovens, and is associated with granite, as at the latter
place. This is an article of considerable value, and
already figures largely in our exports, and is likely to
prove of the greatest importance to the colony.
The demand for gold has been in excess of the supply
for some days, and the price bas advanced in conse-
quence. For Ballarat gold, 31. 17s. 9d. to 3/. 18s. ;
for the Ovens, 3/. 17s. ; and for Castlemaine and
Bendigo parcels, from 3/. 16s. to 31. 16s. 6d.

some 30,000 or 40,000 out of the entire popu-
lation of the metropolis-30,000 or 40,000 out
of the 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 constituting the
aggregated inhabitants of London aud Westmins-
ter ! As corroborative of the utter inadequacy of
the reforms already accomplished, comes the recent
disclosure of that Sink of social abomination near
High Holborn—Plum-tree-court. Fully alive,
therefore, to the magnitude of the evil remaining
to be dissipated, Gen. TREMENHEERE undertakes,
in his very able pamphlet, to define what appears
to his judgment the most feasible plan for a sys-
tem of Model Lodging Houses. Deriving a large
amount of useful experience, it should be pre-
mised, from his labours as late Superintending
Engineer in the Punjaub, when, after the close
of the war, resulting in the annexation of that
province to our Indian possessions, be was
entrusted with the dutyof supervising the construe-

Lion of enormous barracks fitted for the accommo-
dation of some eleven thousand men. Generously,
nobly has the gallant soldier abandoned the
weapons of war for those of peace—throwing aside
the sword and the bayonet to take up, as it were,
instead of them the spade and the mattock—
intent upon the conquest of more deadly foes than
the warrior horsemen of Northern Hindostan—
Vice and Disease—daily and nightly the whole-1
sale destroyers of the bodies and souls of thou-
sands. GOD speed every such good and,brave
man in these benign endeavours ! Endeavours so
generous, humane, and benevolent that, in the
fullness of time, they can scarcely fail of securing
the blessing of HEAVEN !

Troway, in Derbyshire. Mr. Oakes, the owner of the
house broken into, was threatened with instant death if
he made the slightest noise. The villains remained some

A late officer of the Bettie fleet has written to a con-
tereperary, in reference to the remarks of Sir P. Peel
nn the conduct of fir C. Napier. Re says :—" Being
one of those who spent the entire of last summer before
the fortress of Cronstadt, I had ample opportunities of
seelng the dangers likely to occur to any one rash enough
to try to force a passage into the Neva, and I have no
hesitation in saying no one but a madman would attempt
it. Not more than one or two vessels could go in
abreast, and they would be immediately sunk. I should
like to know how the others would then get past. Cron-
stadt might have been shelled last year ; but when
Commander Boyd, of the Royal George, showed how it
might be done, he was immediately silenced. No doubt
the same policy saved it that saved Odessa. If Duke
Constantine and the youngest midshipman to:d Sir
Robert Peel what he says they did, I have no doubt
they told it with 'their tongelee stuck in the tide of their
mouths."

MISCELLANEOUS.

The National Magazine has an attractive cata-
logue of names among its subscribers. Sir David
Brewster contributes a series of papers on the
Stereoscope, and Dr. Doran a sketch. of the Eng-
lish Queens of France ; while in the department of
fiction Wilkie Collins, Miss Mulock, and Holme
Lee each supply a tale. Westland Marston, one
of the projectors, gives us the history of " A Case
of Libel." Sydney Dobell has a sonnet in his
usual style on the death of Dr. Brown. There
are numerous miscellaneous contents of vary-
ing merits. Tait's Magazine has its usual
political papers and light and lively tales. The
most remarkable feature in it is an article entitled
" The Lost Faculty, or the Sixth Sense," by which
it designates the power to see the beings of the.
