Mt i•tt boa bum said d late about the stagnation of businses--ths Mirth of enterprise. Of the ex istence of the evil In many quarters there cannot be • question. Our commercial machinery at present doss not work with the rapidity of which we know it to be capable. At this period of the year, the return of thousands of merchants, brokers, capitalists, and speculators from their autumnal tour is usually followed by a certain degree of animation. This is still lacking. We must not imagine, however, that the complaints now heard, which after all are only partial, denote any Re retrogression of the great commercial interest. The loud discontent of one unoccupied individual may drown the quiet ex_ preseion of satisfaction from ten of his fel lows, too busy to correct his experience by theirs. Notwithstanding the dulness which undoubtedly prevails in many circles the nation is silently carry ing on • vary extensive horsiness, both internal and external. Figures of ready scene prove this. Consi derable though the idle resetres in the Bunk of Eng land are, the active circulation is unusually large, amounting, according to the return just published (in clusive of seven-day bills) to no less than 23,043,1891. against 22,028,392/. at the same date in 1838, and 20,882,6904 in 1837. Additional testimony is afforded by the recent almost mysterious disappearance of the large amounts of gold, wh:ch u soon as imported had been sent into the Bank. The amount of foreign and colonial gold bought by the Bank during the last four weeks has been as follows—viz.: in the week ending Sept. 21,130,0001. ; Sept.2B, 410,0001. ; Oct. b, 433,0001.; Oct. 12, 130,000/.; total, 1,128,0001. The corn and bullion in the Bank have been thus stated during the same period: Weekending Sept.2l, increase 71,3471. ; Sept. 28, increase, 348,9604 ; Oct 6, increase 82,171/. ; Oct. 12, decrease 384,4911.; making a total net increase in four weeks of only 147,9774 There is, therefore, a deficiency of some 977,0001. to be accounted for within a month. Foreign demand there was little. Neither aa• the payment of the dividends have contributed to the absorption, for the last published return extends only to Wednesday, and the dividends were not payable until Thursday. Speculations as to the cause, however, are almost eupertluous, for it is known that unusually large quantities of coin have latterly been draughted away into the country. To suppose that coin is hoarded there would be absurd. It is wanted for active em ployment, in the payment of wages and the trans action of an extensive retail business. If we consult another vnlasble index—the railway traffic returns--similar inferences are suggested. First let as take oar greatest railway, the Loudon and North-Western, which places in communication the three mightiest commercial emporia in the world—London, Manchester, and Liverpool—besides embracing a multitude of smaller hives, where iron-forging, cotton-spinning, and a thoassind other indu,trul pursuits are Min. lowly carried on. We may take our stand and glance over wide tracts so densely populated that their natural productions in the most bounteous 11l Yen. would not suffice for the wants of one-fifth of the inhabitants, whose prosperity is dependent in no small degree upon the demands of the foreigner or colonist. If the cotton of Amer, I, the wool of Aus tralis, the textile fabrics of Manchester, and the glit tering productions of Birmingham, do not roll in sufficient quantity along this arterial-iron road, trade is doll. Now the traffic of the Loa don and North-Western Railway since Inn eon meretment of the current half-year has reached 1,1J4.8911., being 69,784/. more than in the writ spending period of last year. The inci ems is equi valent to 4,2701. per week, and as the retorts pub lished last week showed an increase of 7,2381. com pared with the corresponding week of last year, the ratio is segmentiog. Again, the Lancashire and Yorkshire Itaileray runs through the heart of our indestry : its receipts since the let of July smoant to 619,471/., being an increase of 33,9781,0 r 2,6701. par week, over last year, and the increase foe the lest week was 4,1544 Time Midland Railway has taken, in fourteen weeks, 6,.:4,042/., being 32,226/., or . .!,6011, per week more thin last year, and the increase for the last week was 3,106/. If we quit these noisy manufacturing districts, and follow the steps of the tourist, the man of pleasure, or the men of business, who, at this dull time of year, snatches one month 041 of the twelve for relaxation at the seaside, or across the Channel, we shall we that although people grumble loudly at the hardness of the times, they can afford to go a pleasuring to a greater extent than usual. The few figures annexed will show that the Southern " pleasure" and "excursion" lines of railway are 'Nitwit es buy as those which ran through the manufacturing diericts : T‘A4 Trak Taal Is- lamer, tpiu memo over la theism July I.

In I 1606, the paralyeisg inessoce at the groat Weis was 'till felt, bat is 1 4 37 trade had sequired adore- Ispasest sever before reached, sod due, in far too great a degree, to spicalstive ienpu'ies. In 1839, wit!little specolatioa afloat, no dgares of 1867 ar e sossiderably exceeded. 1)0 these Iliolllo., the rail way traffic receipts, the circulation of Bank of Eng had saes, and the absorption of coin, denote a atipant or a fairly active condition of general bul bous) The tru'h appears to be that, es is often observed, ume branches of enterprise are not so well off as *there, Manchester is busy, many of her largest manisiacturers being under contest for a consider able time forward, sad the prices of her productions range very high. At Leeds thew is "a steady de mand," and the clothiers are "in goad work.• At Huddersfield "stocks in the manufacturers' beads are small." At Halifax there is a tensismey to improvement," and at Hcckdale a "very brisk de mand for flannel Ruch." At Iteodford, " spinners are well employed." At Leec-star, "nearly every department in the hosiery trade is well engaged. ° And so we might run on, with a hasty glance at each of our great staples, the general report being that the operatives are well employed, per lacing largely and consuming in proportion. Not to refer, for the moment, to certain important branches of business, such as the shipping trade, wherein visible depression prevails, we would direct attention to the quarter where the shoe really pinches, and whence the loudest complaints are received. To the financial and speculative chum this is a time of sore trial. Holders of money, who daring the three years preceding the crisis of 1867 obtained high terms, can now find but a narrow market for their commodity, and at very low rates. It must smoke a great difference to the owners of the forty millions lodged in the London Joint-Stock Banks, whether they get 4,5, and 8 per cent. per annum interest, as in 1856 and 1857, or only per cent. The banks and other moneyed establish ments are likewise prejudiced, for there is not adequate employment for their large funds, and the present state of the mar ket naturally induces increased competition for business, and a proportionate cutting-down of all money-lenders' profits. Then, again, there is a large class of persons who habitually take part in the more tempting of the various joint stock projects, public loans, and other financial operations that are occsaionally brought forward. Some here as allottees and jobbers in the shares, ethers as directors and promoters. When enterprise of this description is rampant enormous profits are frequently realised. Great City houses, ostensibly engaged in regular mercantile pursuits, derive in some years the bulk of their income from these speculative sources. To them and to the whole host of minor operators, whose sole thought is of premiums, the market at present affords no scope whatever. It is generally complained that " there is no money to be made." In the Stock Ex change equal stagnation has not been experienced for years. What little speculation is going forward is principally amongst the members themselves; and a close body like the Stock Exchange cannot live upon itself for ever. The public are effectually deterred from speculation by distrust of Frame, sad by the uncertainty which continues to surround the great political question of the day. The limited transactions effected for account of operators beyond the walls of the Stock Exchange are principally for Beek; that is to say, whenever the dealers in public securities give way to little alarms and put prises down, bone/ f ide buyers step forward and take advantage of them. The result is generally adverse to the Stock Exchange, which is notoriously bare of stock. Daring the great panic in that establish ment, nearly six months ago, the members were com pelled to empty their boxes of marketable securities. With loss of credit and absolute ruin staring them in the face—for each individual knew not whether his neighbour, with whom he had dealt, would be able to fulfil his obligations—the sacrifice entailed by selling at depressed prices was not to be considered for a moment. The public took the preferable stocks at the low prices; and the collapse has given great intrinsic strength to the markets, for when a demand springs up the dealers have no longer the muss of supplying it, unless by raising prices, and thus tempting holders to sell. Great attention has been directed during the last few weeks to the remarkable movement in the New Indian Loan. Malicious people wonder how the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange would have con trived to exist but for the profit which the Loan has afforded them, both from the premium and from the large amount of business attracted by it. This has certainly proved one of the most successful operations on record. It is perfectly futile to argue that the price of the stock cannot advance beyond a given limit, that it most bear a relation to the prices of other Indian *realities, and that the arrangement for the payment of the dividend., and for the trans fer of the stock at the Bank of Englacd confers no additional security whatever. The simple fact is that the new investment has exactly hit the fanciful taste of the public, who are perfectly con test to go on absorbing it, and even to pay a con siderable premium, neglecting other securities rela tively cheaper and resting precisely upon the same heir. When the next Indian Five par Cent. Loan comes it will be swallowed up with equal greediness. But now that the public hes contrived to stay its appetite for the moment with this five millions of stock, the question is very appropriately asked— Upon what class of investments will the demand run next?

A moment or two having elapsed, and the train being on the point of moving, her Majesty fixed her eyes on a rich bouquet which the Mayoress held in her hand ; the royal glance was not to be mistaken. The marquis instantly presented Mrs. Frost, and, as the train was moving off, her Majesty put her hand out of the window and received the bouquet from the hand of Mrs. Frost. Thle little incident called forth the moat enthuaiestio cheers. The Marquis of Chandos was in the royal train, which moved out of the station at six minutes past four.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Mom OTh owcZi )IXT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EYDNINO. Notwithstanding the persistent rumours—which are undoubtedly encouraged by the French foreign office—that the conclusion of a treaty at Zurich and the convocation of a congress are both imminent, I observe that a Paris correspondence in the Nerd of Brussels, dated only the day hofore yesterday, and, consequently, subsequent to the news accredited in London on Thursday morning, affirms that the ques tion of the Sardinian debt involves a difference of no less thin 200 millions of francs, and expresses a belief that Austria is acting in bad faith, and will delay the signature of the treaty. The .A'ord at taches great importance to this correspondence, which bears the signature " F." General Dabormida bad an interview with the Emperor at 2 o'clock this afternoon. There is a rumour, which I only give u such, that the paragraph sent La all the journals stating that Prince Napoleon has only gono to England to see the Great Eastern is a blind, and that he has a mission from his imperial cousin to see Queen Victoria, ar.d talk to her about the affairs of Italy. The Univers publisms the Lillowing solemn pro test against the notice lately served upon the jour nals that they awe not to publish the bishops' pas toral letters : For the last two day. the UN:rell has not published any circulars or mandates of our lord, the bishops, touching the situation of the sovereign pontiff. Not that this manifeita tion of the hearts end minditof catholic. has ceased to Bow on, but we have received an injunction from the government not to reproduce any more of their document., end this injunction is particularly serious, when we reflect that this journal has lamly receival a warning. Under these circum stances we owe a word of explanation to our reader., and more especially to those veritable prelates who have done us the honour to send their mandated to tut. The names of these, up to the present time, are Cardinal Donald, Arch bishop of Lyons, and the Biattops of Moulins, Venues, Mesons, Quimper, Nevers, Versailles, and Dios. The iojunciion alluded to appears to us essentially temporary. The object of it, we am told, is to protect the acts and the dignity of the bishops from the violence of the news papers; but It should be remembered that the word of the bishops him been the mainstay of all catholice is every serious crisis of the church and of society within the last thirty years. That word hem never made itself heard without provoking, Mat this day, a torrent of abuse. It, however, never rive way, but, on the contrary, has always prevailed ; because it is inspired by, and in Its turn Inspires, the most noble semi matte. The government of Napoleon 111. has always pro famed the utmost respect for the rights of the church. It is difficult to conceive that he can wish to deprive the bishops of that publicity by means of the pram which is open to all the test of the world, or to deprive catholic. of that collec tea voice of their chief pastors which has ever so strongly inculcated the lova of order, justice, and liberty. For our own parte, if this prohibition is to continue, we shall con sider that the most precious part of civil and re ligious liberty Is taken sway from us. In such a cam we should be without guide, compass, or shield, and should expect at no distant time to see the catholic press without any place in that vast field of public discussion in which it is our desire honourably to do our duty up to the Let possible moment.

The Opinion Nationals—so far seconding the pro test of the Univers—thinks it "not imprudent to demand liberty for the enemies of liberty." The Kord, in a paragraph which, having regard to known extraneous circumstances, is very curious, adverts to the fact of its number of Saturday having been seized in Paris, owing to the deductions which it had drawn from the imperial speech as to the probable consequences of prolonged obstinacy on the part of the court of Rome. In a high and confident tone it throws the responsibility of the seizure of the Nord upon the authority " which had recourse to it," and declares that neither official measures nor the manoeuvres of its "enemies" will cause it to de viate from its course. Now the ltord is certainly the organ, as to French politics, of one of the many parties which exist in the inner circle of the imperial councils, and by its" enemies" it probably alludes to ministers who do not pull well with its immediate patrons. To-day's number, containing the above re monstrance and haughty repetition of the original offence, is not seized, so that in all probability cer tain authorities have been rt minded of the proverb, "dog doss not eat dog." The Daily News was seized yesterday, on account of its containing Moraines letter to the King of Sar dinia. To-day the Times and several other English journals which reproduced the urns document were impounded; but they were afterwards released, though at a very late hour. The Ocean of Brest announces that the squadron lying in that port has received orders to prepare to put to sea at the first signal. PARIS. SATURDAY ZVI-NINO. Recent letters from Rome speak of the Pope, and even of Cardinal Antonelli, as now promising re forms. This tardy repentance is much to be dis trusted. There is a report that France and England, in identical diplomatic notes, have strongly urged the King of Naples to proclaim the constitution, threat ening to withdraw their envoys in case of non compliance. . _ At the Bourse this morning, before the opening of bushiest, the Syndic of the stockbrokers read to his colleagues a decree, which it is supposed will appear in the Moniker to-morrow or next day, authoti.ing each broker to appoint one or two clerks (or assessors as they have been called by anti cipation) to do business under the responsibility of their principals, and not in any case on their own account. Their functions are not to be transmissible. 1 They will be permitted to do business two hours be , fore, and two hours after regular hours—that is to my from 11 to 1 and from 3 to 6. The rate of brokerage will, it is believed, be reduced from 60 'to 40 francs per 3,000 f. of lento., and from to 1-16 upon shares, and no brokerage is to be charged for carryings over on the 13th of the month. It is thought that the assessors will be permitted to revive the practice of the old Culisse or dealing in little premiums dent 25c. and She. for the current Bourse or fur the next day. The adoption of the system of amours, which, after having been a long while on the lapis, was supposed till very lately to have been abandoned, has pro -1 ducted a great sensation, and the working of it is looked forward to with considerable curiosity. It is generally looked upon as in substance the re-esta blishment of the Cbulsue, but with additional gua rantees to the public. Some people anticipate much difficulty in regulating the relations between the assessors and their principals. The former will in most, or at least in very many cases, be men who will bring business through their own personal in fluence and connexions, and of course will ex pect a handsome share of the profits. The general hope, however, is that the new mea sure will give a great &titanium to transac tions and arouse the Bourse from the torpor in which it has been lapped since the abolition of the Couliue. To-day a good deal of business wu done, the news of a coming congress and the speedy signature of a treaty of peace at Zurich being freely discounted. The Rears rose 20c. fur cash and 30c. for account, closing tat 69.761. and 69.801. hlobilier rose 12.601. The Orleans and Lyons Railway shares were again in considerable request, and rose respectively 12.501. and 6.25 f. Southern rose 7.50 E, Northern 6f., and Eastern and Wester', 2 50f. each. The %injected excnreion trains from Paris to Algiers h‘ce been ahandoced for the present season, the prujectors not having met with aufflcent support to jaitity the undertaking. Rear Admiral I)npony has left Paris for London on a special mission, supposed to relate to the Chino expedition. Although several French journals repeatedly gave lists of land and ma forcer, alleged to be destined for that service, it is now said that nothing was definitively settled about the matter— not even the principle of the expedition so far as France was concerned, until the Emperor's return to St. Cloud the other day. Prince Napoleon lett for England to-day, and is expected back in Paris to early as Wednesday next. There is nothing of a political character in hie jour ney, the object of which is 'apposed to be chiefly to see the Great Eastern. _ _ _ The Prince and Princess de Chimay have arrived in Paris. The Journal de Charleroi says: " Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilda are expected at the Chateau of Prince Joseph de Chimay, at Chimay, at the end of the present month or the beginning of November. Grand hunting matches will take place in the forest on the occasion. Extensive prepara tions aro being made at the chateau, where the Prince de ehimay is expected very shortly." Marshal the Duke de Malakoff, Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour, and the Duchess, have taken up their residence in t h e Palace of the Legion, Rue de Lille. The lioniteur publishes the general official return of the revenue for the first nine months of the pre sent year, amounting to 799,191,0001. As compared with the corresponding period of 1858, there is a decrease of 12,988,0001. ; and with that of 1857 an increase of 18,111,000 f. The items of revenue in the present year which show an. improvement on the preceding one are—duty on potable liquors 7,680,000 E, import duty on foreign sugar 6,368,000 f., Post-office 2,683,0001., sundry duties and incidental receipts 2,018,000 f., tobacco 1,487,0001., export duties 846,000 f., salt duties 847,0301., import duty on corn 577,000 f., ditto on sundry merchandise 604,000 f., navigation dues 440,000 f., money orders 162,000 f., charges on transit of fortign letters 116,000 f., and stamp duties 10,000 f.

ITALY. CENTRAL ITALY. (mom ova SPECIAL comtv,roNDEN7.) PARMA, Ocr. 11. The day before yesterday I heard that Count Walewsky had sent orders to Cavaliers Paltrinieri, the French Consul at Parma, to leave this city if the government of the Dictator did not immediately adopt measures which would lead to the severe punishment of the authors of Count Anviti's murder. As soon as I heard of this fact I hastened to Parma, with the object of observing both the conduct of the government and of the Parmesans on such an im portant occasion. On my arrival here I was glad to find that Commendatore Farini had already begun to not even before he had received the Count Walewsky's pressing communication. The Parmabrigade had been removed to Modena, and a Tuscan one, together with 100 Carabinieri, had arrived during the night to take its place. The majority of the Permute troops belong to that class of society which under the late government gave the most active and audacious members to the secret political societies. The first intention of Cavaliers Cavallini, the Governor of Parma, was that of ordering the arrests of the sus pected authors of the murder ; but, being a stranger to Parma, he was obliged to listen to the ad vice of his colleagues. He was implored not to put in jeopardy the tracquillity of the town, and was told that by revenging then Count Anviti's murder he would undoubtedly throw Parma into a greater and more bloody calamity. Now. however, that the Dictator Farini is on the spot, he will show to Europe that a severe retribution awaits the wretched men who have so greatly dishonoured the unspotted cause of Italian freedom. The seven days which have elapsed were not lost by him, and I am now in a position to state that the police are ' already on the track of the leading actors in the drama of Wednesday evening. Although the Dictator of Parma is not a man who would shrink from his duty, it is clear enough that his task is cot a very easy one. If in this regrettable affair he has decided to act strictly in accordance with the law, he must send the suspected authors of Count Anviti's murder before the tribunal of PUMA. A prosecution will be then began, bat it will be ex. tremely difficult to get the legal proof of the crime. We hear from Rome that the Pope and Cardinal Autonelli have not lost the hope of bringing back the Legations to their holy yoke. Before leaving Bologna I was told that Count Colloredo has written to his Holiness that in a few months the authority of the Holy See will be re-established there. How this can be done I am unable to state, for without the intervention of a foreign army it is quite impossible that Europe should succeed in forcing upon the Romagna the hated government of the yriests. Count Colloredo and European diplomacy no doubt reckon upon the anarchy of the Italians, but I have too much faith in their good sense and patriotism not to feel certain that the hopes of their enemies will never be realised. AUSTRIAN FINANCE. The following extraordinary notice has been pub lished by the Austrian Minister of Finance relative to the national loan : The list term of payment of the voluntary loan of 1854 having become due Co the 2ith of August last, and some supplementary sums on:y now remeisitg to be pdd, the total sum of the b Aida isistud ter the kind of debt, during the financial paid of five pare, emanate to 611,671,300 florins, of which 26,492,100 6. are in the sicking fund of the public debt, eo that the amount of the bond, of tins kind in circula tion to 685,079,200 6., and thi voluntary loan of 1854 is dell ultively cloned. The Oat Deutsche Peat publishes the following re marks on this subject : The publioation of tbie notice has produced en extra:Ai nary sensation in our financial world, and we fear that it will anis a still greater one abroad. The Imperial decree of 1864 remitted a national loan of 500 million.' of florins, and to the great empties of every one it is now found that the bonds ioeued amount to 611,614,000f1. or 111} millions more than the orignl sum fixed. Out of these 1111 million' between 28 and 27 are, it is true, as the nonce intorno us. delimited in the enders otitis sinking fond of ilts public debt. but that simply signifies that the emus every year eppro ptiawd to the sinkiug fund of the old public debt have not been paid that the old titles of the debt have born replaced by new ones, and that the money which ought to have been banded over to the Mulling fund has been employed for other purposes. According to this plan, we attach bat little im portance to the sinking fund combating to fulfil Its fanetioss rep:Ludy. Debts are not paid off except by real staples, end if, on the contrary, old etimmienta are only settled by con tracting new one,. it would be much better to abstain from each useless parade.
