the snpsri * r and tried micd which has for thirteen years presided over the destinies of France , and almost of the world . Such , independently of all ulterior con-Sequences , iB tbe sense of the visit paid by Her Britannic Majesty to King Louis Philippe , and that alone wonld suffice for us . In accepting the hospitality of the King , Qoeen Victoria has wished to prove her confidence in , and personal attachment for , her august ally and his Royal family . She has wished also , as Queen of England , to give to the constitutional King of France a pledge of political sympathy and gooi harmony . It ia with this double object , and we axe grateful to her for it , that the -Q-. een of England has come to Francs ; and it is as the most significative pledge of peace that has bfen given , perhaps , te our country for tbe last thirteen years , that we bail the arrival on our coast of this young Queen , who beara with so much grace and so serene aim charming a brow the weight of the destinies of a great nation . "
The Presse expresses in gracious terms its approbation cf the courtesy shown to the Queen of England , but takes care to caution tbe people of Franc * against allowing their politeness to get the better of their reason . It adds : — " We are of opinion that if the English Cabinet were to eDdeavonr to turn to account the homage paid to their Queen the French Ministry wonld not forget its duty . But , were it to do so , we have tbe press , we have discussion , that great guarantee of free Governments . " The Globe says : —
" Ws are far from thinking that this event , memorable as it is , will destroy the rivalry which exists between England and Franca . Tbe two countries are rivals , because they are equally great , and because their jzreatnsss has similar elements ; but the bringing together of their Sovereigns and of their Ministers will contribute to the removal of mutual prejudices , and , by facJliJating their intercourse , will contribute to tbe peace of the we : Id . It is in this point of view that the visit of the Queen of England to the King of France is a great event ; for there aTe no
ether political events better uniting tho characters of true grandeur than those wbich contribute to the peace of n ^ ftoi-s , and , as a consequence , to their happiness . We can comprehend that there are men in whom these sort ef things inspire only raillery , insults , and even low vu ' . gaiities ; for these men desire a revolution in order to a -quira a repntation or a fortune . We leave surh men to spread in bad style the venom of their egotism and of tlitir pride ; and hsnd them ov ^ r to tte contempt which is tbe natural winding-sheet in which to krer those whom grand spectacles are powerless to divr-rt from their passions and tbfcir batrtts .

SxiBLiNGsniKE . Falxirk BibThicT . —Messrs . DaEieils ard Hammond have btcn very rtuy during the past «« k in obtaining interviews and holding consultations with the colliers of this district . They have been very favourably received , and from present appearances , they are likely to be aa successful in this district , as they have been in the Loibians , and the counties of Fife and Kiarosf . CorrDtcT of thb Coal Kikgs—Tbe colliers in the F-liirk district have heavy and loud complaints against some cf the coal masters , they charge thtm with not only evading , bnt absolntely setting the law at defiance ! It appears that Lord Ashley ' s Bill to prevent females from working in pits is rendered a dead letter , by tbe mssSers assuming to themstlvts a greater power
than both Houses of PArlirnntnt and tb *> Q ; combined > It is a positive fact that the females in the Airdrie sz . d Hofiytown districts , and indeed throughout Lanarkshire , have nsver been removed from tbe pits at all , though Lord Ashley ' s Act has bten stveral months in operation ! Who says the coal tyrants bave bo power ? Who says they bave cot a riyhl io do trfiol they p . ' eose viih their ows ? We recommend tbe coEdcc . of these gentlemen to the consideration of Lord Ashley and Mi Ferrand , during tbe next sessions cf P-arlisment . The opinion is gaining ground in Scotland that no Act of Parliament which has a
tendency to benefit the condition of the oppressed collier will do them any good , unless inspectors are appointed fey Government , to carry tie law into tffl-ct , without fear or favour , from either master or man . This ia nothing bnt just , end what we thick tbe House of Commons wil ! not refuse to grant , when tht-y learn the real facts of the case ; for net only ia Lord Ashley's , but tba Truck Act ( 1 st and 2 nd Wm 4 tb ) daily undxoost unblushingly evaded and set at defiance 3 We hereby give the&b patties public sotice , that if they continue to follow these nnlawlnl practices , that informations shall be laid sgaiast ih « -m , and their names published to the indignation of the whole country , —Convspondent .

" That we approve of the MineTs' Association of Great Brii 2 in and Ireland , and trin advise our coastitntnts to ju . n the same , because we are convinced
by dear-bouch » experience that nothing but a General ] Union of tbe sons ol toil will rpsene ns from onr present dcjmded condition . " 2 . " That we are decidedly : opposed to prematnre sectional strixes , being convinced ; that , in general , they have done more injury to the i collier tfean good . " 3 . " That another delegate meeting , of the colliers of Stirlingshire be held on Saturday first , . ( this day ) , and that all coal and iron works in the dis-\ trie * send one delegate , and that Messis . Hammond and S Dii : iells , be rtquested to report to the meeting what . success they have had at the different meetings tboy j address during tbe wttk . " It came out during the 1 meeting that the Unke of Hamilton was employing { females at his coal works at Redettd !

It had been supposed , on account of the condition that each member of the council is to bring up £ 100 from his locality , that tbere would ba some difficulty in obtaining the required number . But inBtead of a difficulty on this point , the only embarrasment it would appear , that can be experienced , will arise from the multitude of candidates . This may appear very strange but nevertheless such , I am assured , is the fact . On the completion of tbe council , si each member is to hand in £ 100 , the entire amount , from this source , would be £ 3 O , 00 D .

On arriving at the body they foundho was dead and covorcd with blood . On their turning the body orer , they found a deep wound
in tbe neck , and also some extensive wounds on the left breast ; in the deceased ' s pockets were three sovereigns and a gold watch . An inquest was afterwards held over the body , whon the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown . " It has sinue been ascertained that the murderer of the unfortunate gentleman is eo other than his third son , Richard Dabb , a fine young man twenty-four years of age , and that he committed the act while labouring under mental aberration . He was an artist of some celebrity , and gained several prizes at the ^ Royal Academy . The police have scoured the country round for mileB , but not tbe slightest trace of the young mau has been discovered . It ia generallv supposed that he has made away with himself .
Dreadful Accident at the Roval Exchange . —On Tuesday one of the men engaged in the sculpturing the slab under the balustrade in front of the Exchange lost his balance , and was procipitated with frightful rapiflUy to the bottom , where he was found in a frightfully mangled state . The most prompt surgical assistance was procured , and the wretched sufferer was immediately removed to the hospital , where , it is said , he expired shortly after hisadmissiou . Tho supposition is that he had stepped backward to observe how he was executing his work , when he lost his footing on the platform where he was standing and fell . Tho spectators were unanimous in their condemnation of the unprotected platforms upon which the men are to work , at so frightful a height from the pavement . A barrier of two or three poles would prevent sueli accidents .

Prices of yarns remain at former low rates . A slight advance is obtained on many kinds of linen clotb . " An order of tho House of Commons , as to tho number of men still bdlongiog to tbe Irish yeomanry , induced several of the Captains to parade their companies , 'which L'ave rise to tbe rumour that this force was to be again embodied . But tbe Government has declined all offers of service , announcing that there is no intention of calling out either the Irish yeomanry or militia .

I eed 3 Woollen Markets . —A gradual and progresaive increase is taking place in the amount of business doing in this district , and we are glad to have to say that every succeeding market day shows a continued improvement . We have seen less stocks of goods in the Cloth Halls than even now , but we htsitate not to say that three months ago , there were more than three times the present qaantity of goods ou hand in the halls , and this notwithstanding the quantity that during that period has gone in . We are glad the stocks are so much reduced , as now the manufacturers must be « in to feel tbe , benefit © fan
improvement which hitherto has been in a great measure confined to the merchants . We trust the I working population will soon be f ally employed ; tha warehouses have long been very busy . \ Leeds Corn Markeiv Sept . 5 . —The arrival of 1 Wheat to this day ' s market is smaller than last week . The weather has been very fine since last i Tuesday , the farmers round here ar& very busy with 1 harvest . The demand for Wheat has been limited , . and all descriptions Is . par quarter lower . Oats and Beans continue in very limited demand , and rather lower . Ther 4 has been a little new Wheat at market , which has bcon sold from 47 s . to 54 s . for red ,-aud up to 57 h . for white .

State of Trade . —Since yesterday week a large amount of business has been done in yarn , at improving prices ; and the market yesterday was extremely firm and elastic , though without any great animatioa , as the advance demanded by spinners has , ia
many cases , exceeded the limits of purchasers . For manufactured goods also the demand continues extensive , and prices are in all cases very firm . We are glad to learn that the lecent accounts from the principal European markets , as well as from tho United States , are extremely favourable : in Germany , down to a late period , serious apprehensions were entertained as to the result of the harvest , which gave a great check to business . Recently , however , the weather had become exceedingly fayoarable , and an abundant harvest had been secured in excellent condition . This had given a considerable impetus to the demand for yarn and manufactured goods , and large supplies will probably be required . There is also , we are happy to learn , a steady improvement in the demand for home consumption ; and the prospects of business are , upon _ the whole , more favourable than for several years past . —Manchester Guardian , Wednesday .

Pieces and yarns met with a fair sale at former quotations . Wools are in good request , prices stationary .

Espartebo irr London . —A special Court of Common Council has been held , to consider an address of welcome to Generul Espartero . Mr . Deputy Peacock eulogised the character of the General ; and said , in answer to those who charged him with haying feathered his nest , that independently of his wife's fortune , the General did not possess £ 5 G 0 a year . He concluded by moving resolutions expressing sorrow at the Regent ' s forced retirement from the Government of Spain , as that country , unritr his patriotio guidance , waa making rapid strides in healthful internal policy ; sympathy with the Regent in the frustration of his wise and philamhropio plans ; and hope of his speedy recal . Sir Peter Laurie opposed
the address . As to Espartero ' s having only £ 600 a year , he knew that ho had taken a house in the Regent ' s Park worth £ 1 , 000 a year . Ho censured the General's conduct , and especially his leaving Spain without firing a shot . He maintained that the Court , as a boJy had no right to interfere ; and he moved " the previous question . " After a very long discussion , in wKich some of the speakers professed to be convinced in favour of the original motion by Sit Peter ' s arguments against it , the amendment was rejected by a large majorirj ; and the original motion was affirmed , tha address to be translated into Spanish , and . presented by the Lord Mayor . His Lordship intends to give aa entertainment to the General , on the occasion of presenting the address .
Bepeat op the Agnewites . —These good men —the holier than thous—consisting of Sir Andrew himself , Maitland Macgill , Crichton of Raukeillour , Bain , Leadbealer , and Co ., with some of their usual train , assembled on Tuesday week to stop the Sunday running of the Edinburgh and Giasgow Railway , * ' as a shocking desecra ; ing thing , " although quietly speaking , the whole of them had pocketed dividends or profits thereof , and the Sunday shilling was not a bit worse in their mind ' s « ye than the Saturday one . They divided on this recent occasion , when the vote steed as follows : —
F ^ yr continuance trains 9399 Against them 1 C 43 Majority against the Agnewites 7756 This is pretty decisive , and should shui the mouths of the babblers , who instead of gaining strength , are rapidly losing ground in Scotland . The Iron Tra » s . —A movement for tbe better may now be taken not merely as indicated , but as actnaiiy made and confinm-d . At the kst quarterly xneeriDg , it is known a reduction of 13-t per ton on manufactured iron took place . This reduction may now bs considered as abrogated . Hence the price s ands as it was about eight weeks ago . Every check Io retrogression is of course negative improvement ; and every advance from a state of depression
is necessarily an improvpment , and possibly a vast one ; but the character of the present improvement remains to be determined by its effects , and these are by no means sufficiently d « veloped to warrant the sanguine repre . se / itat 3 on we have se * n put forth . We cio not doubttbat the recurrence to the old price will be maintained—we have not the slightest apprehension of a return to the price of the last few weeks ; but we know that well informed ironmasters fear that the rise may prove a serious check on the demand . However , it has been made and obtained , while some establishments , without saying more than that they expect prices to advance , decline taking orders except at next quarter's ratts . All tha ibrges and mills , speaking generally , may be stated to be ac . ively employed ; but wo do not hear that any addhionnl blaM . furnaces haie as yet been set to work . Thentock of pig-iron , before most of the
furnaces out of blast crasod to work , was enormously heavy , and will take some time to work up . On it an advance of 5 s per ton may be safely noted ; within a fortnight it could have been obtained at £ 2 15 s . per ton ; now there is a disinclination to part with it at £ 3 . Scotch pigs , we saw it stated on good authority , on Monday , continued at £ \ 18 s 6 J ; bars her © may be considered more than firm at £ 4 63 . In Wal « s the discount for cash iB now £ ' 6 instead of £ 5 , aud there also a corresponding movement in price has taken place . Owing , however , to the great number of orrirrs delivered in and accepted at the low pncee , it will , with several iron master ? , bo six or seven weeks or two months before they can get to w >> rk fully on the advanced rates . On Monday most of t ie iron dealer ? in this town and neighbourhood , who had reduced their prices , mado an advance of 10 » . ppr ton on bars , rods , &c . — Wolverhampivn
Chronicle-Ajscient Reapers . — Two men , of the names of Tbiinas Hardwire aud Robert Chambers , wp re j-bfaring together in a fie'd at Laneham , near Retford , on Saturday last , whose united ages amounted to KG years . Co'h the octogenarians were in good healih aud spirit : ? , and Chambers offers to ride a trotting match against any man in England of tho same aj ; e and weight as himself . —Nottingham Jour . Roman Catjioiic Soldiers . —The following letter , addre 5 .= ed by a L'aiboiic clergyman at one of our military stations iu India , to a gentleman in thia countTy , points out au evil which ought ^ uot to be allowed io continue . No soldiers have fought moro bravtly for their Queen and country than tho Irish Catholics , and bo . h justice and sound policy require
that every facility should be given them for performing their religious duties according to the tenets of their own creed . The writer says : — " I have under my care about 700 to 8 ui ) as fine fellows as ever came from God ' s own country ; for many yearB they had not seen the face of a clergyman , although , poor fellows , 4 hf-y sadly wanted the assistance of one . ' But most subject is the fattest soil to weeds . ' That the soil was good has been proved by the return it has made to my labours . There are some teetotallers amongsl them who have most materially assisted me ; but total abstinence is discountenanced by the commanding officers and medical men here , iu coieequenco of the insalubrity of the water . Had you seen the soldiers at Mauras , you would think ,
1 am Bv . ro , that you were in the green island once more . There both tno bishop and clergy are staunchin the can-o , and a Caihoiicsoldier guilty of drunkenness or swearing , or of not attending to the sacraments , would cause as much wonder as a fall of snow in the month of June . «" onsideriag the difficulties 1 bave had to contend with , very much has been done here , and much more would have be « n done in this way , had not certain persons , who shall bo nameless , ' . nought it belter that soldiers should be lost , as orthodox , drinking , swearing Protestants , than that they should owe the amendment of their lives to the priest . Woe betide any Frotestant who shall be
found within the < i 6 ors of the low , close , dirty barrack-room , in which the Hon . Company permit the Catholic soldiers to practise their ruligion at their own expense ; whilst their Protestant comrades are lounging in spacious pews in a large airy church , with ponchas swinging over their heads , and batties at the windows to cool them in their devotions , and all to a Sumiug tirade atout the Spanish Armada , or Bloody Mary , or ihe idolatry of traDsnbstaiitiation , or the Lord knows what , from a chaplain who thinks he can thus give better value for the 1 , 100 rupees a month , which he receives as his sublunary reward , rather than by warning his hearers from the canteen , the brothel , or gamiug-table . "
Proltpic PARiEY . —A single grain of barley , which grew accidentally amongst some early potatoes in the garden of Mr . John Screaron , of Lambley , Notts , has produced no fewer than 68 ears , containing upwards of 2 , 000 grains ! ! Shipwreck and Loss of Life . —On Tuesday mormijg last , abou . 7 o ' clock , during a heavy equal ! , the sloop Goou Intent , Captain Moverly , was upset whilst in stays , be : ween the Bull Light ve 8 sel and the Spurn , and almost immediately sank . The orew , consisting of 1 wo men , wf-re unfortunately drowned
also the master ' s &on , agtd seven years , was in bed in the cabin . Cap . ain loverly kept himself and his wifesfloat on an oar until shey were fortunately rescued by the crew of a pilot cutter , belonging to Grimt-by , about a quarter of an hour after the accident . The Gcou Intent , in going down , had dislodged her car ^ o of coals , and again rose to the surface , when she was taken in tow by two pilot cutters , and brought asbore at Spurn , and , after being righted a « ain , ; was towed into Grimsby , having on board the body of tuo captain's eon . The bodies of the crew have not been found .
Rebfccaism , we are sorry to see , in several cases , is getting worse , and a different class of persons , with different objects , bave taken the field . Malice and personal spiie , wanton outrage and unreasoning xiot , have in these cases made head . But on the other hand pub l ic meetings have been held , at which thousands in the face of day have fairly made known all their wrongs , Teal or unreal . Soon meetings are tbe safety valves of popular effervescence , and they ought to be tncoarageii by ever j friend to peace , and prosperity . Besidfs being the media of redress to , and tending to the restoration of , peace , and order , the very fact of their being held shows that tbe people are beginning ( however awkwardly ) to fei t the right foot foremost- — Welshman
