THE HON. AND REV. BAPTIST NOEL

The public announcement that Mr. Noel would, as stated
elsewhere, take leave of his congregation on Sunday last, caused
an enormous crowd to assemble-on the occasion, in and about
St. John's Chapel, Bedford-row, London ; in fact, in the morn-
ing but few of the seatholders were able at all to make their
way into the chapel, and it was during the early part of the
service a scene of much confusion and excitement, hut in the
evening more adequate arrangements for securing order were
made. Mr. Noel preached twice—in the morning from Ephe-
sians iii. 14-19, in the evening from John xvii. 24, but said that
he should not waste the time of the congregation by any expla-
nation respecting himself; that a statement of his views would
shortly be published, and would sufficiently explain his posi-
tion. He announced that his post would, for some time at
least, be occupied by Archdeacon Heathy, who has recently
come to •this country from India; and Mr. Noel added,—" I
know not to whom I should more willingly have transferred the
office which I now unworthily fill." At the close of the even-
ing discourse lie urged those who might differ from the conclu-
sion to which he had come, and those who should agree in it, to
" learn to manifest to the world how believers in the same Sa-
viour ought to tolerate one another I" and after enforcing his
well-known views respecting the unity of the Church, he affec-
tionately bade the congregation farewell.; There seems to he
considerable uncertainty with regard to Mr. Baptist Noel's
intentions, it is said that he means to retire into private life
" for the present;" and that he and his family. will attend divine
service at church "for the present" in the neighbourhood of his
residence; there appears to be no doubt entertained that he
will take some further step after a short time, but it is said
that he does not as yet see his way clearly to anything further
than relinquishing his office of minister in the Established
Church. This he does on the ground of objection to the union
of the Church with the State; his volume on that subject will
be published in two or three weeks.

Mr. Roebuck has declined to come forward for the
West-Riding.

face of. the ground. These gentlemen have with them
some specimens of gold from California. A piece of this
metal, pure, was exhibited onboard the Clyde ; it weighed
two ounces, and was picked up in a crevice in o;

MONDAY EVENING.
In a few days the question, " Who is to rule in France ?"
will be decided ; and speculations as to the future politics
of that country, and their effects upon our commercial
relations, must remain somewhat involved in doubt until
the election is over. Cavaignac, as a tried servant of the
republic, is evidently the man most likely to ensure a
wise and permanent government ; but we dare hazard the
prediction, that the prestige of a name will give a triumph-
ant majority for Louis Napoleon. With the present
broad basis of the suffrage, it is only necessary to raise
the French to a certain pitch of enthusiasm, then place
Bonaparte's old grey coat on the top of a stick, and they
will be ready to invest the baton with imperial honours.
In this event, however, we see no reason why any reaction
of public confidence should take place. He is certainly a
very unlikely individual to preserve order at home, or
carry on a peaceful intercourse with his neighbours. If
the predilections of the masses carry him into office, with
nothing to back him but his uncle's fame, be is just the
character, from what we know of him, to rush into any
mad enterprise to humour their vanity. But we think,
this time, the French people have been more than usually
careful in placing so great a curb upon the privileges of
the office as effectually to prevent any attempt at unad-
vised dictatorship; and the moderate party has already
show*: itself too wise to suggest, and too powerful to
submit to, the adoption of any measure of a belligerent
tendency. On Saturday the Three per Cents. closed on
the Paris Bourse at 43f., the Fives at 651 "

since Thursday. We are indebted for the following
remarks, which extend over the past month, to the circu-
lar of Messrs. T. & H. Littledale, published this morn-

In the early part of the month there was an extensive de-
mand for all descriptions of B. P. Sugar, which continued for
the first three weeks, and the sales reached 25,000 bags Bengal
and 1500 hhds. West India, at full prices. The last week there
has not been so much doing, b,it prices have been maintained.

There has been a goad demand for China Silk, and pre-

more in request, for which an advance of 6d. per lb. has been
obtained. Bengal Silk is still in fair request ' • but owing to
the late accounts from Calcutta, of larg.:e shipments being made
to this country, manufacturers and dealers have shown less
disposition to purchase. In Italian Silks the arrivals have been

large and the demand geod, but without alteratioia in pa..
which has also been the case in Brussa and Persian Silks.
There has been more inquiry for Gum Waste and Kuubbs and
Husks, owing to some of the mills commencing work again,
but no alteration in prices. Silk Piece Goods are still heavy,
and but little business has been done.
"There has been a greater disposition shown by the trade to
purchase Wool, notwithstanding the quantities broaght for-
ward by pnblic sale have been unusually large; most of the
Colonial Wool sold at itd. to Id. per lb. advance on previous
rates. In East India Wool the arrivals have been large, and
prices arc without alteration. The irnpor ts here for the month
are 9,321 bales, of which 1,429 are East India."
The following additional particulars respecting the latter
article we extract from the circular of Messrs. Hughes
and Ronald, with a copy of which we have been favoured :
"The business done here in Foreign by private contract has
been to a good extent. There is little change in prices to no-
tice, but there is rather a firmer tone, anti on some descriptions
which are most sought after, a little advance has been obtained,
but it has been by us means general, and with the competition
Foreign has to sustain with British Wools, higher prices can,
for the present, hardly be expected. We have had some large
arrivals from the West Coast of South America, both of Sheep's
wool and Alpaca; the former continues little inquired for, but
in _I Ipaca a large business has been transacted. There have
been several arrivals from Buenos Ayres, consisting principally
of good quality Mestizo, washed and greasy, which are in the
course of landing but not yet on the market. Both Mestizo
and common Wools have been in fair demand, and somewhat
higher prices have been obtained. East India has been in fair
request, but without much change in prices. Spanish Frontier
Wools have been a good deal sought after, and full prices have
been obtained in consequence. Good Oporto Fleece is in re-
quest, and some has been sold as high as sd. per lb., but in-
ferior parcels are very unsaleable. Rather more has been done
in Scotch, but there is no change in the market."
There has been a fair business done in Foreign Wool.
this week, but without any improvement in prices to re-
port. Scotch has also been in fair demand, but no great
amount of business has been done. The London colonial
sales are now concluded, and it is gratifying to be able to
state that they have gone eff satisfactorily as compared
with the former sales. The imports fir the week are,—
