Nothing very material has occurred here since
the departure of the Hermann, so I must coniine
this letter to topics of rather rifiing interest AS
/ informed you in my last, the trials of the old
Bailey have commenced; one chartist has been
tried and found guilty another is now on his trial
and will doubtless meet with similar fate A
few sedltious straggers have been laid hold of
throughout the country, and the Ashton Inquiry
has convicted three persons for being concerned
as principals In the murder of the policeman. This
is the whole of our excitable intelligence, which
you will perceive IS not very formidable.
Trade really seems to be looking up IN some dis
trcs, although the late events in Italy, the extern
sion OF the cholera IN the Levant and other parts
OF the continent, the uncertain state of parties in
France, and the still more unfavorable aspect of
Ireland, act as species of nightmare, tending
heavily to depress our commercial system. |
think, IN London, things are decidedly improving;
yet In the PROVINCES complaint Is not untrequent-
ly heard The most cheeress account that has
reached me, is from Manchester. Money matters
are on the decline in this town; fact to be ac
counted tor. suppose, by the overgrown population
OF the county. The mill report for the last
week, too, Is bad. OF three cotton mills, work
ing last week full time, one is working short time
and two are stopped Ofthe total works included
IN the report, three previously working full time
are now stopped OF the total hands included (of
which there are 5l3fewer.) 573 fewer are working
fuIl time, and 81 more working short time. In the
other parts OF the county. the depression is felt
to the same extent. TRANSACTIONS, 1t is very
true, are limited, and speculation is thing of old
yet, IN spite of this, there is, in some places,
steady trade kept on. Large orders have come in
from abroad, within the last few days, which WILL
trust, keep the men engaged until we can turn
ourselve round, and give better wages to the ope-
ratlves, whose remuneration sarily has been
reduced to meet the heavy and increasing expen-
owners.
The Queen and part of the royal family are still
at BalmOral, in Scotland, where there has been
repetlton OF the gayeties and rejoiclngs alre ady
fat deer give good dinners, and spend much
money; so the tour is of very harmless nature,
and will be sure to benefit some persons The
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Queens
uncle and aunt, leave Buxton to-day, for Manches-
ter They will consequently have an opportunity
OF examining the process OF manufactures, and,
what will be still more important, the condition of
some OF their poorer fellow creatures, not by any
means scarce in Manchester
Almost every one who could manage to slip
away from town has run over to Bologne, to see
the fete. Fraternity between Frenchmen and Eng
llshmen appears now to be the order of the day.
The directors OF the Boogne and Amiens rail-
way ask the directors OF the Dover railway to
dine with them at the Hotel du Nord. the latter ;
nothing 10th to have a holiday, cross the channel
and grow quite fam with their galc neighbors
Then the Dover railroad people, not to be behind
hand In clvllIty, offer the National Guard unusual
advantages tor taking trip to London. Accord

soldier To say the truth, the Frenchmen are as
much puzzled with the curosities of London as the
Londoners are about them. Therefore you NAV
conclude that determination is going apace be-
not forgotten, and most of the people seem pleased
at the increased facilities of intercourse that are
now afforded to travellers.
The Britannia came into Liverpool on Wednes-
day. with twenty elght passengers. bringing news
of the arrival of the Niagara and also that the
Europa, on her outward voyage, had been seen off
Cape Race. The Canada, now building at GLASGOW
is nearly completed Captain Judkins remains in
town, to pilot her across the Atlantic on her first
trip. She is described as a very magnificent ves-
SCI, and will be good addition to the steam feet
OF the Atlantic. The Allegheny Omitted States
steamer) is occasonlng great deal of talk from
the peculiarly OF principle on which she is built
The manner IN which she Is worked, as well as
the arrangements she works under, are so curious
that our people are thinking whether she is not
worth taking lesson from.
A very long account has reached us relative to
the progress Of Sir James Rosss expedition IN
search of Sir John Franklin, with which, dare
say, you are partially acquainted AS it comprises
some elaborate details, will forbear giving them,
but merely state that they were last seen in the
stream OF Lancaster Sound, In Melville Bay in
tending 10 proceed on their voyage of discovery

The officers of the Liverpool garrison gave an
amateur performance on Wednesday evening, for
the benefit OF the sufferers rescued from the Ocean
Monarch, which produced. after paying, the ex-
penses, upwards of one hundred pounds The
pieces were, "Charles the Second, or the Merry
Monarch" and The Unfinished Gentleman"
very excellent engraving OF the Ocean Monarch,
when burning, has been taken from a sketch
made by the Prince de Joinville, which is
source OF good profit. The proceeds of the sale
will be handed over to the sufferers More bodies
have been thrown ashore, though not so frequently
as before, The diver is 1T work about the vessel.
He goes down daily, but / have not vet had an
opportunity of seeing his report
The people here are dreadfully frightened at the
threatened approach of the cholera. Each day
the newspapers TEEN with paragraphs conveying
instructions how to prepare for the scourge and
how TO treat II when here. That it has got nearer
to us is very evident, but from the peculiarly of
our climate, do not think we have much to fear.
An order IN council has been issued upon the sub
ect, 70 the effect that should any vessel at
any of our ports infected with the disease 1t is to
be detained In quarantine until the clothing and
bedding OF the infected persons shall have been
immersed In water The words Injected per-
SOFAS" comprise all persons who have died o
cholera belonging to the vessel, either on shore
or on board; and of iall who shall have been at
tackled on the homeward voyage. The order is
very explicit on the subject and is intended to be
earned out. A very large meeting of the Man
chester and Liverpool Agricultural Association
has Just taken place at the former town, at which
Lord Stanley made a long speech Ii was the
first meeting OF the society, and was certainly a
very magnificent one, bidding fair to take from
place IN exhibitions of the kind, which, from
their necessary tendency to associate the noble
men with the farmers, are most valuable They
should be found in every agricultural county Of
every kingdom of the world
Within the last few weeks incendarsm has
ticularly in Nottinghamshire No distinction is
made with regard to the property destroyed, nor
can any cause at present be assigned for the ma
licious act. Most active measures are foot to
detect the offenders which, it is to be hoped, will
be successful IN suppressing so daboical system.
The theatres are about opening for their winter
