BIEVIVA L MEETING AT EXETER-BALL

On Sunday evening ameeting of an extraordi-
nary character was held in Exeter-hall. It had
been announced by means of advertisements and
placards that Exeter-hall would be opened on that
night for a service to be conducted by three lay-
men, Mr. Reginald Radcliffe, Mr. Richard Weaver
(formerly a prizefighter), and Mr. William Carter.
The promise was kept, and at 6 o'clock the doors
were thrown open. In less than a quarter of an hour
the spacious building was densely packed, and it
was deemed advisable at once to close the outer
gates. The proceedings were opened by prayer, in
the course of which the Almighty was earnestly
implored to stretch down his arm from Heaven over
London for the purpose of converting it, and espe-
cially for the purpose of checking Popery,
priestcraft, Puseyism, and dqvilism. Mr. Carter
read portions of the 6th chapter of St. Mark's
Gospel, and in the course of a very energetic
description of the efficacy of redemption assured
his hearers that it was not to be secured by
lifting up a poor rotten cross or miserable cru-
cifixes—nor in going to church with fine steeple,
or listening to a lot of fellows with white night-
gowns on. All these were miserable dehlusiotwn

not to believe that the great scheme of human re-
contraiwa moonshine and humbug ; but, on the
ry, it was able to encircle and convert the 1
greatest blackguard in London. There were many
ungodly persons in that hall who wanted shaking
over hell for five or six minutes. and if that would
not convert them nothing would. As the speaker
warmed with his subject he danced up and down
the platform and shouted hell and damnation with
a vigour which was perfectly appalling. Every
now and then he denounced the unconverted, then
appealed to them to come to Christ, and in the
roughest language, and with the most violent ges-
ticulation, called upon those who believed that
Christ had power to save to hold up their hands.
About three-fourths of the audience did so • the
" contrary " was not put. During the proceedings_
several young women, whose feelings were operated
upon, fainted and were carried out. Mr, Weaver
afterwards sang another hymn, " I've a father i
the
promised land," to a lively air. Throughout
evening the audience were kept in the

TOWN SEWAGE.

Mr. Mechi, of Tiptrce-hail, has addressed the
following letter to the editor of the Times:—
Sir,-1 am glad to see that public attention is at
length given to the all important question of apply-
ing our town sewage to agricultural fructification.
The great discrepancy that exists between Mr.
Shepherd, Mr. Walker, and Mr. M'J)ougall as to
the number of inhabitants necessary to sufficiently
fertilise one acre may be best corrected and tested
by the manuring which our soil now receives in
actual agricultural practice. On this point per-
mit me to annex an extract from a paper that I
read before the Society of Arts. If, as I believe,
' each acre only receives the manure from two sheep,
or its equivalent from other animals or from artifi-
ei,il manures, it follows that Mr. M‘Dougetll's esti-
mate of 600 and Mr. Walker's of 40 inhabi-
tants per acre are far beyond the requirements of
ordinary farming. In fact, for cereal crops such
heavy dressings would be positively injurious.
No doubt for pasture land, where grass is cut in
the green state for immediate consumption, enor-
mous quantities of sewage may be advantageously
Applied ; but making hay of such crops on the spot
would ho impossible, for want of space, and from
the rapid and almost immediate after growth.
I therefore consider Mr. Shepherd's the most ap-
proximate calculation as applied to farming in the
ordinary rotation.
To feed the good people of London and their
living animals the available produce of 6,000,000
acres would be necessary.
Therefore it is not unreasonable te suppose that,
as it requires two acres to feed each human being
and the animals which he employs, at least one acre
might be fertilised by:the residuum of such a use or
consumption.
Our population approaches 30,000,000 ; our cul-
tivated and nastoral acreage is about 50,000,000
acres ; and we import and consume the products of
at least 40,000,000 foreign acres. If so, lam much
under the mark in my, estimate that each person
only requires two acres to supply all his wants.

BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

MR. ESKEL L, Surgeon Dentist, 8,
Grosvenor-street, has PATENTED an INVEN-
TION for the CONSTRUCTION and ADAPTATION
of ARTIFICIAL TEETH and GUMS, which has
the following extraordinary advantages :
First—A set of Teeth, of exquisite workmanship and me-
chanism, can be fitted with the most perfect accuracy and
success IN TWO HOURS, without pain or extraction of
stumps, and answering all the purposes of mastication and
articulation.

Second—They are fixed without bands, wires, springs, or
fastenings, by a moveable, flexible, and imperishable BASE,
from which such an extraordinary power of suction or self-
adhesion is obtained, that the teeth are perfectly im-
moveable, except at the option of the wearer.
Third—Artificial Teeth made in the ordinary way are ren-
dered useless by the loss of any of the natural teeth to which
they are attached, but by this patent they are not impaired
in the slightest degree, are always useful, and will last a life-
time. . _

Fourth—Residents abroad, or in the country, can ad-
iust these teeth in any of the above oases without the aid of a
dentist.
Mr. Eskell's patent, of which he is the sole inventor
and patentee, can only be procured at his residence, where
specimens may be seen and every information obtained.
Decayed Teeth stopped. Loose Teeth fastened. All con-
sultations Free. Terms strictly moderate-8. GROSVE-

STATE OF TRADE.

BIRMINGIIAM.—Trade :has been so thoroughly
inanimate, and there has been so little change for
the last fortnight, that very little can be said in
relation to it. Quietude is its general characteris-
tic ; we can scarcely say that it is positively de-
pressed, but it is quite certain that many firms
in different branches, who are generally pretty fully
occupied, have, since the middle of last week, not
been making more than half their usual return;
and no reanimation has yet appeared.—Birming-
ham Journal,
SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—The iron trade of
South Staffordshire presents no new feature.
Steady dulness continues to characterise it. The
large increase in the exports of iron during Octo-
ber, mainly arising from the increased quantity sent
to the East Indies, appears inconsistent with the
accounts of depression from all the iron-making
districts; but the fact is that less iron was exported
in that month than in the month previous, although
as compared with October, 1859, there is a consi-
derable increase. Inquiries for rails continue, and
tenders for 15,000 tons are invited for a foreign
railway, of which 3,000 tons are to be delivered
immediately. The reduction of the rate of discount
by the Bank of England on Thursday will have a
beneficial tendency, as previous to the late advance
a better demand, especially for rails, was being ex-
perienced, and the price of Welsh iron was raised.
In hardware trades there is no variation from the
general quietness previously reported. Generally
the home trade is dull, the Irish demand being
particularly so, but a fair quantity of orders are
coming in. The lock trade of Willenhall is perhaps
as quiet as any. At Walsall there is a want of
orders, and the demand for accoutrements for rifle
corps, which has done much to make up for the
dulness of the year in one branch of the staple
trade of that town, is pretty well come to an
end. The Australian market is glutted with
Walsall goods. We hear of efforts being, made
to introduce various kinds of hardware productions
into France under the new tariff.
SHEFFIELD.—The fair has exercised its usual
effect in suspending work, but the serious aspect of
the case is in the last advices from the United
States. We fear there is now no business of im-
portance to be expected from that side of the
water till we have entered upon the new year.
Great flatness prevails in the cutlery trade..--hef-

TIIE BRAZILI.

AV AiVD RIVER PLATE NAILS

SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 4.
The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tyne, Capt.
Jellicoe, with the above mails, has arrived.

The Tyne brings 107 passengers, including Cap-
tain Abbott, Lieutenant Gillson, nine officers, and
50 men of her Majesty's late steam troopship
Perseverance.

Her specie amounts to £3,841 6s. Bd. She also
brings the following cargo :-2,660 bags coffee,
200 rolls tobacco, 18 bales leaf tobacco, 100 barrels
tapioca, 133 packages sundries.
The Royal Mail steamer Magdalena, with the out-
ward Brazilian mails of the 9th ult., arrived at St.
Vincent, Nov. 21, and sailed again the same day.
At the River Plate were her Majesty's steamers
Leopard, Buzzard, Oberon, and Ardent, Rio ;
Madagascar, Bahia; Curacao.
Her Majesty's steamer Prometheus sailed from St.
Vincent, Nov. 22, for the coast of Africa.
Her Majesty's steamer Geyser sailed from Lis-
bon on the 30th for England with the remainder of
the crew of the Perseverance.

At Lisbon the Royal Albert and the channel
squadron.
The National Convention of Buenos Ayres con-
cluded its lebours in its first session, adopting the
reforms in the Constitution by acclamation with-
out any discussion, immediately declaring itself
dissolved.

In consequence of t his speedy determination, the
National Constitution was solemnly sworn through-
out the province on the 21st October. Buenos
Ayres is thus amalgamated with the Confederate
provinces, which now united, form the Argentine
Republic.
Produce transactions had been extremely limited,
Saiaderos not having yet commenced operations,
and a general impression prevailed that little of
importance will be done before January.

THAMES,

AN IMPUDENT THlEF.—Dennis Driscoll, an Irish coal-
whipper, aged 22, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged
with stealing a pair of boots, value 125., the property of
Joseph Field, pctman at the Star public-house in Shore-
ditch.

Tho prosecutor said that on the 15th of October last lie
saw the prisoner leaving the pot-house at the back of the
Star with a pair of boots under his coat. He immediately
pursued the prisoner, and called out to him, " You have
stolen my boots." The prisoner continued running, and
owing to the foggy state of the weather he soon lost sight
of him. The boots were nearly new ones, and cost 12s.
Wm. Bartholomew, a police-constable No. 100 K, said
he met with the prisoner last night and took him into
custody. The prisoner was wanted for another robbery,
—for stealing a watch.

Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been
in custody before.

THAMES.

AN IMPUDENT THlEF.—Dennis Driscoll, an Irish coal-
whipper, aged 22, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged
with stealing a pair of boots, value 125., the property of
Joseph Field, potman at the Star public-house in Shore-
ditch,

The prosecutor said that on the 15th of October last he
saw the prisoner leaving the pot-house at the back of the
Star with a pair of boots under his coat. He immediately
pursued the prisoner, and called out to him, " You have
stolen my boots." The prisoner continued running, and
owing to the foggy state of the weather he soon lost sight
of him. The boots were nearly new ones, and coat 12s.
Wm. Bartholomew, a police-constable No. 100 K, said
ho met with the prisoner last night and took him into
custody. The prisoner was wanted for another robbery,
—for stealing a watch.
Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been
in custody before.

The Prisoner.—Yes, that was for an assault.
Roche.—For something worse than that.
Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would plead now or
be sent for trial,
221 The Prisoner.—Settle it now.

house.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-LEIOESTER, DEC. 3.

A winter assize having been appointed to ba held
in this town and county, Mr. Baron Bramwell ar-
rived here about noon, and opened his commission
at the, Town-hall. After attending divine service
at bt. Martin's Church, his lordship proceeded to
try the borough prisoners. For the borough there
are but two cases and four prisoners, _

Joseph Booth, 43, Post-office clerk, was indicted
for stealing a post letter containing two half-sove-
reigns and, five receipt stamps, the property of her
Majesty's Postmaster-General, on the Oth of August,
1860.

Mr. Cockle and Mr. Mereweather prosecuted ;
Mr. O'Brien defended.

Tne jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the
prisoner was sentenced to four years' penal servi-
tude.

He had been in the postal service for 15 years,
and had been recommended by several of the prin-
cipal inh4bitants to the postmastership recently
vacant in this town.

A POSER.—The other day as a gentleman was
standing at the railway station at Keith, he overheard an

(FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)

TURIN, Nov. 30.
I have positive information that the Princess
Clothilde has written to her younger sister, the
Princess Maria, but does not speak of any visit to
Turin as being in contemplation. Either, then, the
rumour of Prince Napoleon's intended journey to
Italy with his wife was erroneous, or the idea, if
ever entertained, has been dismissed. So far so
good, as far as the Prince is concerned. There is
something else, however, of a far more positive
nature, and that is the pretension of Lucien Murat
to the throne of Naples. A letter of his, dated the
25th of NovemFer, introduces him as an unsolioited
giver of advice, as a partial judge, and accordingly
without authority; as a pretender who is at once
both presumptuous and ridiculous. This letter
of his, with which you must be already
acquainted, has produced a feeling of disgust. Three
months ago I wrote you word about Muratist in-
trigues ; the Government knew all the tricks going
on, and knows now that a part of the difficulties it
is encountering at Naples have been created by the
Muratist party, a party insignificant itself in num-
bers, but aided by some old Mazzinians and muni-
cipalists, and by a few Neapolitan generals, who
have been promised for their adhesion both honours
and wealth, two things they can never obtain from ,

Despatches from Mr. Harris, the American
Minister in Japan, have been received. He gives an account
of the arrival home of the Japanese steamer Candinamarrah,
which accompanied the Japanese embassy to San Francisco.
The commander of the steamer, accompanied by two gover-
nors of foreign affairs, had called on Mr. Harris, by order
of the Tycoon, to express the thanks of his Majesty for
the friendly and cordial welcome with which the officers
and men had been received in San Francisco, and particu-
larly for the repair of the steamer at Mare Island navy
yard. The reports of the officers of the Candinamarrah,
together with the letters received from the embassy, con-
taining full accounts of the reception at San Francisco, had
produced a lively sensation, especially among the nobles,
and it was believed that the most gratifying results would
follow, more especially when the embassy should reach
home, and give toll accounts of all their experience in the
*United States.

TURKISH FINANCES.

The Courtier du Bimanchit,in its impression Of
Nov. 25, publishes a letter from Constantinople
upon the finances of the Ottoman Empire. Thie
letter contains errors which we believe it our duty
to rectify.
The above journal, which estimates the total
Turkish debt at 600,000,0001., divides this sum total
into the interior and exterior debt. The exterior
debt it estimates at 280,000,000 f., and the interior
at 320,000,000 f., together forming a total of
600,000,000 f.
This is an erroneous estimate, and now that the
Ottoman Empire is on the point of contracting e
loan, we consider ourselves bound to place the fact•
on a right footing.
The exterior Turkish Debt, the greater part Of
which was contracted in 1854 and 1855, for the
requirements of the war in the East, and at a later
period for the withdrawal of the paper money'
amounts to a total of .. .
The reduction effected up to the

15,000,000 f,
Leaving 310,000,0001,
A higher figure than that of 280,000,000 f., atwhicl/
this debt is fixed by the Courrier du Dimanclas
Respecting the interior debt a still greater error
has been made. According to the Courrier
Limanche it amounts to 320 millions of francs
only. The most precise information, howevets
estimates the interior debt of Turkey as follows'
1. Amount necessary to buy up the

present time is about

paper money remaining in circula-
tion
2. Galata obligations payable at
different periods (in the same

manner as Treasury Bonds in
France)
3. Ilazi Taviii (Treasury Bonds)
4. Essams Mumbaze (Reimbursable
Rentes)
5. 5. Serghis (obligations, payment of
which, by fifths, becomes due
after 1865)
6. Eshams Djedides, or new Con-
solidated Bonds)
7. Floating debt, falling due at no

fixed period, and proceeding from
different ministries ............ 110,000,000 f,

Total
If we now add the total exterior debt, 310 millions
of francs, the entire Turkish Debt will amount to
total of 774,000,000 f.
e:
This sum of 774,000,000 f. includes all the engag
ments and all the interior and exterior debts of the
Empire, and actually necessitates an annual di.:
bursement, for interest alone, of about 38 millionA
of francs.
If, as is asserted, the receipt Budget of le
Ottoman Empire amounts to about 300,000,02°,,a; i
the interest on its debt is represented by iluv
13 per cent. of its revenues.—[ADvi.]
