MONEY MARKET. CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. A sudden rise took place yesterday in Italian stock after business hours. Itis in several quarters opined that this improvement indicates an approach ing settlement of the Roman question ; but the better founded interpretation is that the proclama tion of an amnesty will remove many of the difficul ties by which the Turin cabinet has lately been surrounded. The closing quotation of A ustrian Five per Cent. Aietallics of the 2d inst. from Vienna shows an adva nce 2 of per cent., and the exchange has de clined to 124.25—a movement of 50c. in favour of Austria. The cotton market was quiet to-day, with sales to the amount of 2,000 bales. The sales of the 'week comprise 26,810 bales, and the imports 136,500, nearly all from India. The foreign exchanges to-day were without varia tion of importance. At Paris the rate of discount in the open market is now 3 per cent. ; Vienna, 5 ; Hamburg, 3d ; Turin, 41 ; Frankfort, 21, ; Amsterdam, 31 ; Berlin, 3; Brussels, 3; and St. Petersburg, 5 per cent. The mail from Bombay passed Jubal on the 2d instant. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The demand for money is steadily maintained, and there is no variation in the rates of discount. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £786,000, and the exports £353,000. The traffic receipts of the Northern of France Es.ilway for the past week amounted to £63,478, agaiust £60,306 last year. It appears that the available balance of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the half-year end ing the 31st July amounted to only £27,823, from which a dividend of 11 per cent. per annum is recommended, thereby absorbing £25,118. The report (issued this morning) further states that a very serious loss, amounting to the sum of £6,953 15s. loe., has been incurred during the last half-year, owing to the depreciated value of the American currency in which this company's pro portion of the through rates are paid, and the ad verse exchanges at which remittances were made. A portion of this loss has been incurred on local traffic from Canada going across the frontier to places in the United States. Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cotton market to-day was very dull; sales about two thousand bales. At Paris this morning the 3 per Cent. Rentes ape.ned at 72fr. 75c., being 1 per cent. higher than yesterday. Continued firmness has prevailed in the English Stock Market to-day, although very little business has taken place. Consols, however, have been 'maintained at 931 94 for transfer and the Bth inst., and at 94 1 for November. The New 3 per Cents. have improved to 921 1; the Reduced to 927,- ; Ex chequer Bills, June, to 20s. and 235. prem. ; and ditto March, to 20s. prem.; India 5 per Cent. Loan is 108/ 1091. Business in the Foreign Market has been rather active, and prices are tolerably well supported. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 851 861; ditto, 1858, 681691; ditto, New Scrip par. 9 prem. ; and the Consolides 391 ; Mexican are flat at 33-1 ; Egyptian are firm at 901; Italian 5 per Cents. have advanced to 721 739; ditto Maremmana Railway Loan to 73 ; Peru vian Scrip is 2 to 14 dis. ; Portuguese 47 ; ditto New Scrip 21 prem. ; and Spanish Passive have improved to 211 22i. In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been very limited. Prices, however, have been a shade firmer. Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North Western, and South Eastern have mproved 55,; and Great Northern A Stock declined £l. In the Foreign and Colonial lines the chief move ment has been in South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian, which have improved 1 to 1 per share, bein g marked 23 to 23i. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares in several instances show increased firmness. The shares of the Royal Forest of Dean Mining Company continue in good demand at : 1 3 ton prem. ~ BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. ‘) Per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 „per Cent.

The committee sat more than 20 times, and examined many witnesses, but at the close of July were obliged to report that they had not acquired sufficient information to enable them to pronounce a decisive opinion upon all the questions brought under their notice, and that there are also some other questions which may require further investiga tion. They therefore recommend the re-appointment of the committee next session. Mr. Newdegate proposed, but did not press, a resolution to the following effect : That the Ecclesiastical Commissioners do not appear to have any established system for ascertaining the locality and condition of the worst cases of spiritual destitution in topiulchous districts, nor any definite principle of action, by ouht I.3hreiority of assistance shall be afforded to such cases the commissioners and rapidly increasing funds entrusted to oners for distribution • the committee therefore vecommend that, if it be the intention of the House that the Ecclesiastical Commission shall continue in its present form, some legislative directions should be given for pro curing, through the intervention of the commi s sioners, au thentic information with elsaii)dect to thes e cases , that the i n f or mation be periodically before Parliament, and that such powers be conferred upon the commissioners as will enable and induce them to naive in a mannexeceptional priority to the claims thus established, recognised arnsdomewhat analogous to parishes and priority that in which a legally and places having has been granted in favour of the prope r t y, at the what are termed " local aims" upon disposal of the commissioclners. R ECEP TION OF A NUN.—Yesterd ay morning the ceremony of investing a y oun g lady with the ve il and habit of the Sisters of Mercy , to ok place in the Chapel of holy Our L a dy o f the Convent in Bermondsey, in the presence of a large number of the English Roman Catholic Clergy and laity. Miss Stourton, the lady who took the veil, is about 20 years of age, and a member of a highly respectable fa mily in the west of England. OPENING OF THE CARRICKFERGUS AND LARNE It , AIL IYAY.—This railway, which has b een constructed i n a r'ln f arsble s h or t p er i o d o f time, was opened on Wednesday tZeP u blit*raffie, and three trains passed each way during day. hough called the Carrickfergus and Larne Railway, it is virtually an extension and portion of the aGreatwostNorth Eastern trunk line, and will, we believe , p rove valuable auxiliary and feeder to the Northern.

LAW-THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE SKINNER. Mr. Holt appeared on behalf of the bankrupt, to apply for a release from custody. The application was made under the 112th section of the Bankruptcy Consolidation Act. Mr. Sargood said he opposed the application on behalf of the British and Irish Steam Navigation Company. The facts had been agreed upon, and might be stated thus :—The bankrupt owned a barge lying in the Thames, and claimed compensation for damage done to his craft by one of the company's steamers, the Duke of Cornwall. The company resisted the demand, and the case was heard before the Court of Admiralty on the 16th of April, when judgment was delivered for the defendant; and although the Court, being a kind of Court of Equity, did not, as a matter of course, grant costs, but in this instance, to mark its sense of the proceedings, costs were ordered, and on non-payment of costs an attachment was issued on the 27th September, and on the Ist the bankrupt filed his petition in this Court. The learned counsel contended that this was not a debt, and although a matter provable under the Bankruptcy the Court could not interfere in the present instance, but the bankrupt must await until he obtained his order of dis charge. The company had no desire to act vindictively against the bankrupt, but these large companies were open to such unfounded claims as in this case, that they were only anxious to vindicate their position, for as to getting any thing from the estate was out of the question. His Honour—These great companies with their very large ships might be very tyrannical if not kept in proper bounds. Mr. Sargood supportad his argument by the 149th, 161st and 165th clauses of the New Act. Mr. Holt said he thought it would be unnecessary to make any remarks. He had no doubt that his Honour would consider the bankrupt entitled to his release. His Honour said that he had not the slightest doubt on the subject. The legislature had in the clauses stated en acted that, which was previously the law, an attachment which could be purged by payment of costs was a debt, and therefore the bankrupt was entitled to his release. 6.1.0 L 9.16. 41 12.10 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, ocfronEß 4, 1862.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two SOLDIERS CHARGED WITH ROBBING A MEDICAL STUDENT. —Henry Fowkes and Thomas Sefton, two pri vates of the Scots Fusilier Guards, were charged .before Mr. Knox with stealing a watch and chain from the person of Mr. James Whitworth, a student of the London Uni versity, the prosecutor having been drinking with the pri soners and another soldier in a house in the neighbour hood of the Haymarket. The case was partly gone into on a former day.'' Sergeant Gordon, 28 C, said he had further evidence. Mr. Herbert Davies, a student of the London Univer sity, and residing at 46, Gower-place, said on Wednesday he was in company with Mr. Whitworth and three soldiers drinking. He could not remember what time they went into the public-house, two or three of them being drunk. Mr. Knox—Has the witness been drinking this morning P Sergeant Gordon—l think not, sir—he is nervous. Mr. Davies said the soldiers touched his watch, and he put it inside his coat. They all then went into the street. Fowkes took Mr. Whitworth's watch, and he (witness) saw it in his hand, and no more of it. The soldiers they left. He did not see Sefton do anything. Mr. Knox said the evidence was most unsatisfactory; they had all been drinking for hours. Fowkes asked the last witness whether there were not to o girls who pushed them about ? Witness said that two girls were of the party. Seften asked witness whether ho could tell how many soldiers were in the public-house, and he said he could not, neither could he say that he (Sefton) was present. James Hines, a porter, said he heard a disturbance early on Thursday in Coventry-street, in consequence of a young gentleman losing his watch. Saw some soldiers, but could not say they were the prisoners. Sergeant Gordon said he had seen the prisoners and one of the Coldstreams about that night. Mr. Whitworth said he could swear to the pris3ners being ,wo of them present. The evidence having been read over Mr. Knox asked the prosecutor whether he was sure he had his watch after he left the Haymarket, and before going into the public house in Rupert-street, and the prosecutor at first said he was, but afterwards that he was not. The prisoner Fowkes was committed for trial, but Sefton was discharged. WESTMINSTER. DETERMINED ATTEMPTS AT St/tem.—William Tozer, a poor miserable looking young man, was charged with the following determined attempt to commit suicide. Robert Harringtone labourer, living at 2, Lower Paradise walk, Chelsea—Said that at about half-past 6 last evening he saw defendant run through a yard at the side of the Thames and throw himself into the bed of the river.

Witness—l don't know ;he was covered with the mud. Mr. Paynter—Did you prevent his going further into he Thames ? Witness—l did. Sergeant Panting—After this the defendant threw him self into the Thames, and then, after he had been got out, placed himself in a large horse trough. Mr. Paynter—Was there water enough there to cover him ? Witness—Yes; he was covered. Mr. Paynter—What did he say ? Witness—He said distress had made him do it. Defendant—l am in great distress. I have no parents or friends, excepting a sister, who is not in a position to help me. My father was the Chelsea. gate keeper a t St. L u k e 's Church, Mr. Paynter remanded defendant for a week. GBEA7 FIRE NEAR NOTTING-BILL. - - At a late hour last night, just as the principal houses in the immediate vicinities of Notting-hill, Bayswater, and Kensington were being closed, a cry ran through the three districts almost simultaneously of "Fire I fire!" This had the effect of making numerous persons fly off in sundry directions to call the engines, very few of the parties know ing the exact locale of the fire. That, however, was quickly solved by immense sheets of flame rushing high into the air, which clearly indicated that the conflagration was raging in the Bayswater-road, near Notting-hill. The parish engines, under the direction of Capt. Dunsford, and those of the London Brigade from Baker-street, King street, Golden-square, Chandos-street, Watling-street, and more distant depots, including one of the land steamers, by Shaw and Mason, were immediately despatched to the scene, under the superintenden.ce of Capt tin Shaw and Mr. Staples, the foreman of the district C. Upon the arrival of the firemen they found that one of the three-floored houses belonging to Mr. S. Thomas, a linen draper and silk mer cer, situated at No. 4, Coburg-place, was in a regular sheet of flame; the costly stock of trade in the shop, and every room in the house, were belching forth great sheets of fire, and there appeared at first no chance of saving the private residence of a gentleman named Cole, on the one side, and the house of Mr. W. Pegg, a baker, on the other. For tunately, a good supply of water was procured from the main of two companies, which was found sufficient to feed the engines, and all hands went to work in an admirable manner, but the conflagration could not be extinguished until the premises of Mr. Thomas, with the valuable con tents, were, with the singular exception of one room on the second floor, destroyed. The back part of Mr. Cole's pre mises were also damaged by fire and water, and those of Mr. Pegg, the baker, are also damaged to a great extent by water. It is unknown at present whether or not Mfi. Thomas was insured, but the other sufferers were insured in the General Fire Office. The fire originated from some of the light fancy goods being blown spinet a gas burner, and in less than a minute the whole of the goods in the window became ignited, and blazed away with great fury. The various hands employed in the establishment made an attempt to keep the fire confined to the window, but were unable, and the flame rolled round the shop and up the stairs with the rapidity, literally speaking, of lightning, and how the inmates of the upper rooms escaped with their lives appears a miracle, and during the confusion which prevailed could not be learned, but upon calling the roll it was stated that no one was missing. Mr. Hodsoll, assessor of losses, osses, and Mr. White, of the County Fire Office, arrived this (Saturday) morning to look after the little salvage that remains. SHIPPING--THIS DAY.

On Thursday a young man named Patrick Cain was charged before the Kirkham magistrates with having murdered Henry Rawcliffe, landlord of the S wan Inn, Kirkham. The murder, it will be re collected,was effected by a poker, which was thrown at Rawcliffe while he was looking through the window of his house, and which penetrated his brain through the right eye. Police•constable Fletcher stated that on Sunday night there was a disturbance at the Swan Inn, and that whilst he was endeavouring to apprehend some persons, the prisoner got hold of him, evi dently with the view of preventing him from dis charging his duty. Eliza Fullerton said--After the crowd had dis persed I saw the prisoner with a female named Smith. He had a poker in one hand, similar to one produced, and I beard him say, " By the holy jabers I will put the contents of what I have in my hand through Sergeant Lofthouse, or I will have the prisoner rescued." Afterwards I saw the pri soner standing in a corner in the front of the Swan Inn. He had then a poker in his hand, and was alone. I soon afterwards beard a scream, as if from the Swan, and on going there I found that Raw cliffo had been struck with a poker, which was protruding from his right eye. Witness stated thlt the prisoner had no coat on ; and Several ether persons deposed that they saw a man without a coat in the neighbourhood of the Swan on Sunday night. Two witnesses, indeed, saw the person in question hurl something at one of the windows of the Swan. The prisoner was remanded. Another man, named Kilbain, is in custody. MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A FEMALE IN THE SERPENTINE.—Yesterday evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at St. George's Vestry Room, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, touching the death of a female unknown, whose body was found in the Serpentine on Wednesday morning last. David Keef, a labourer, residing at Ken sington, deposed that on Wednesday morning last he was going round the Serpentine, in Hyde Park, near Knights bridge end, when he saw something floating on the water. He got it on shore and found it to be the body of a woman quite dead. He went to the receiving -house and obtained assistance. John Parsons, chief boatman to the Royal Humane Society, said he was called by the last witness on Wednesday morning last, about half-past five, to take t charge of the body of a female which had been brought ashore. He took it to the receiving-house. He sea;e n h es d , the body and found a handkerchief marked C. J._ Jones, No. 2, two pawnbrokers' duplicates, a thimble, and soma other trifling articles. Both tickets had the name of street, A nn Ann Butt on them, and one had the address Chelsea.

A letter from Constantinople, dated Sept. 22, says : After all the sinister prophecies that the programme of the Government could not be carried out, this important ope • ration has teen completed within the time originally fixed, and the caime have disappeared from circulation. An in considerable amount still remains out, and will be ex changed at par for consolides—an operation requiring a few days only for its execution. To those accustomed to the manner in which the Government offices are managed, or rather mismanaged, in Turkey, nothing could be more as tonishing than the mode in which the withdrawal of the cairn ri was carried out ; and the order, quiet, and regularity which prevailed during this difficult operation prove incontestably that nothing but common sense is needed to place the pub lic offices at Constantinople on a proper footing. Fuad Pacha had taken every pains to secure the efficient work ing of the plan, which was elaborated by a commission of supervision,comprising the European members of the coun cil of finance, Lord Hobart, and the representatives of the contractors for the 1862 loan. The execution of this plan was confided to an executive council under the direction of Edhem Pacha, to whose zeal,intelligence, and uprightness, the Turkish Government is mainly indebted for the success with which this delicate task has been accomplished. Firm and just, bui conciliating at the same time, Edheru Pacha succeeded in inspiring all those under his orders with a real interest in their work, and nothing was more remarkable than the absence of noise and confusion, idleness, and fussiness, which usually charac terise the public establishments here. The accounts were kept by double entry, in French and Turkish, and the books regularly balanced every night, and verified with the vouchers the next day, to the intense disgust of the em ployes of the Ministry of Finance, who adhere to the belief that bookkeeping with adequate checks is an impossibility in Turkey. The Dar ul Funoun (university), which has never been finished, was temporarily and roughly fitted up for the operation. Twenty wickets were open for the recep tion of the caime, with detailed lists ; and seven other wickets distributed the cash and consolides receivable in exchange for the caime. Each of the caime wickets had a teller, two verifiers of notes, and a clerk, attached to it; and every two wickets had a punching press. which obliterated the caime by cutting out a piece about the size of a shilling, before the oyes of the public. For want of this precaution, millions of the caime nominally withdrawn in 1858 were again put into circulation, to save the time and expense necessary for the preparation of new and better notes. The *ration was commenced on July 13 and ended on September 13, only seven millions of piastres being pre sented on the latter day. Altogether the establishment was open for 49 days, during which it withdrew 33,483,994 notes, representing 998,300,720 piastres. The total amount in circulation was stated to be 1,000,162,530 piastres, so that there remains to be withdrawn 1,361,810, piastres, less these lost or destroyed. A very con siderable number and variety of forged notes appeared for conversion, but the instances in which , they were not at once detected were very rare, and flis fact becoming public doubtless prevented many,of t 1 enterprising scoun drels of Galata from attempting, to exchange their for geries. The number of lists presented was 14,962, a total surprisingly small ; but., besides the 20 wickets for the pub lic, at which no amount exceeding 500,000 piastres was re ceivable, a special apartment was provided for those having a million and upwards to exchange ; and it became a trade to collect crime from different individuals, who would pre fer paying a ;commission to incurring the loss of time con sequent on changing their notes at the Dar ul Funoun themselves. The accounts have been audited and found correct— no small glory for the employes, to most of whom double entry was a novelty, for the rayments in cash amounted to 3 99,507,720 piastres and in consolides to 5,992,930 Turkish pounds. To add to the dim culty a very large portion of the sum was paid in sovereigns and Napoleons, and above £lOO,OOO in bills on London and Paris, complicating the accounts in a way that would have been hopeless at the Treasury. All the ministers came to see the Dar ul Funoun, and all were obliged to admit the efficacy and order of the machinery. But I would make a heavy wager that not one will have the courage or incline Lion to imitate it. An efficient system of checks will not suit the bulk of the employes, and the operations of the Dar ul Funoun have demonstrated the irregularities that must exist in other departments in a manner that admits of uo reply, and which has rendered it excessively unp')pular in official quarters. Among the notes presented a considerable number (more than 12,000 it is said) did not bear the seal of the Minister of Finance, which is the equivalent of the cashier's signa ture on Bank of England notes. On some of these notes the stamp may have been accidentally omitted, but it is evident, from the number of cases in which it is wanting, that a wholesale system of plunder was organised, against which there was no check. At the office where the notes were printed there was no proper control or supervision, nor any certain means of knowing how many notes were printed by the machine. Nothing was easier than to print off a certain number of notes, and in ecncert with the employ6s at the Treasury, substitute them for notes duly stamped, for as this stamp is at the back, and in black ink, its absence could only be discovered by the merest accident. What the Government will do with reference to those notes is not yet known, for it is im possible to learn how they got into circulation, as the notes were never dated nor even numbered, so that no means exist of knowing how or when they were issued. A letter from Rome, in the h!essager du Olidi, states that casts are being taken of the triumphant arch of Constantine. They are to be sent to France, and are exe cuted, as were those of Trajan's column, for the account of the Emperor Napoleon. The Precurseur of Antwerp states that at Keeth, in that neighbourhood, three days back, the electric fluid fell on the steeple of the church, and partly destroyed it, without, however, setting it on fire. " It is proposed," says the Gazette de Mons, " to establish an asylum for the orphan children of pitmen, who may fall victims to accidents in the Belgian coal mines. The idea of the project appears to have originated with an august personage, and the establishment is to be placed under the patronage of a member of the royal family. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL, CRANE -COURT.—For the vacant secretaryship of this institution there have been no less than 130 candidates. Tho committee of selection on Tuesday, the 30th ult., reduced that number to three— Messrs. J. M. Moir, Reid, and Oliver —from whom the se cretary will be chosen by the governors) at an extraordinary Court, to be held on Wednesday, the 16th current. _ - A New York paper says, it ie understood at Washington that from 600 to 800 white persons have been murdered in Minnesota by the Indians, and that two-thirds of the state has been deserted by the white settlers. Several of the Paris journals speak of a rumour of an approaching definitive conversion of the rente, and M. Fould, it is said, has come to an understanding on the subject with the Credit Mobilier. That report is thought by some sufficient to account for the great rise in the shares of that company.—Galignani.

Arthur The Hon. A innaird, M.P., h as audited the accounts in conjunctionwith Mr. William I. Hare. It appear s that the export a ti on of arms and ammunition from this country is rapidly increasing in pro portion to the prolongation o f th e American war, and that e shipments during the first eight months of this year have amounted in value to £1,308,000, or at the rate of about £1,750,000 per annum. During the month of August the quantity was especially large, amounting to £286,110. Notwithstanding the very slight chances which there are of the exiled dynasty regaining their lost position in the south of Italy, the Hapsburgs are not less anxious than they ever were to form matrimonial connections with them. The Princess Anunciade will, therefore, in a few days be married by proxy to the Archduke Charles, and an Austrian frigate is being despatched from Trieste to bear her to her future home from Civita Vecchia, THE BLACK FAST OF THE JEWS.—At sunset last evening the great fast of the Jews, known in their calendar as the Day of Atonement, commenced, and will continue until sunset this evening, during which time the people of that religion suspend all business, totally abstaining from either eating or drinking (unless in cases of sickness), and devote the day to solemn prayer and thanksgiving in their synagogues. The fast is followed by a day of rejoicing, which, is observed as a great festival. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, SIX O'CLOCK. THE WAR IN AMERICA. NEW YORK, SEPT. 23, MoENING. (Per Australasian, via Roche's Point.) It is rumoured that the Confederates have crossed Blackwater River in force, and are threat ening Norfolk and Suffolk. An engagement occurred on the 19th instant south of Juke, Mississippi, between General Rosencranz and General Price. The Confederates retreated South during tbe night. The Feder - Ells captured 250 prisoners. The Federals are preparing to attack the fort at the entrance to Mobile. The Governor of Pennsylvania has recalled the state militia home. The Confederate Governor of Louisiana has threatened General Butler With retaliation if the misconduct of the Federal troops should be con tinued outside the limits of the City of New Orleans. General Butler replied, that if the threat was carried out, he should also retaliate. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF Wanis:7 The weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Worka was held yesterday at the office in Spring•gardens—Mr. .14 Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, which showed the following cash-balances in the hands of the treasurer : Current accounts, £113,140 ls. 2d.; deposit accounts, £10,470; total, £123,610 is. 2d.; Government securities) £76,159 2s. PETROLEUM WAREHOUSES. A report was brought up from the Streets Committee re commending that parties on making applic"..tions for licenses under the Petroleum Act be required to send in full parti culars of the premises proposed I: 0 be used or adapted for the storing and safe keepin7 of petroleum, with a view to each place being examinPf intending archit ect u and repo r t e d upon b y the supersuper. Mr. Mr. Pl utLlP's moved that the recommendation of the comrlittee to agreed to, which was seconded hr Mr. DIFFANGER, and unanimously adopted. The Superintending Architect brought up a report recom mending that no license for storing petroleum be granted unless the warehouses were sunk below the ground, and that the casks should not be deposited in more than one tier, and not placed on the top of each other. The report was ordered to be printed and taken into con sideration on a future day. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT, Mr. BAZALGETTE, the chief engineer, presented the fol lowing report on the progress of the main drainage works : " The main drainage works are progressing satisfactorily. On the middle level sewer Messrs. Brassey and Co. have constructed about six miles 3,720 feet of sewers, ranging in size from 4ft. 6in., 3ft., to 12ft. by 9ft. 6in., at a probable cost of about £165,000, of which £150,000 has been done during the past two months, On Mr. Turner's contract for the northern outfall sewer, the whole of the concrete em bankrnent extending from the river Lee to East Ham Church, a distance of four miles is now completed. The substructure and foundation, for the remaining length of sewers from East Ham Church to the river Thames is also completed. About nine miles 2,010 feet of double and treble lines of sewer, 9 feet by 9 feet, have been built, and the earth embankthent over the same is being rapidly pushed for ward. The outlet into the Thames, near Barking -creek has been commenced and is fast progressing. The iron bridges have not progressed with equal rapidtiy, owing to some delay with the parties furnishing the iron work. The amottnt of work executed is estimated at £428,140, of which about £78,000 has been done during the past two months. Mr. Welsher has made a vigorous commencement on the South cm outfall works at Crossness, and has brought upon the ground a large amount of plant. About 30,000 cube yards of excavation have been excavated. At the Deptford Pumping-station, under Messrs. Aird's contract, the en gine and boiler houses are being slated, the chimney shaft, coal sheds, sewers, penslock chambers, &c., are finished, and the river wall is about three-fourths completed. Messrs. Slaughter and Co. have got in the boilers and most of the pumps, the lifting beams, &c. Work to the value of about £93,000 has been done at Messrs. Aird's contract, of which about £7,000 has been executed since my last monthly re port. On the southern high level, Messrs. Lee and Bowles have completed works to about £184,000. Their work is being carried on actively at Church.-street, Deptford- Hanover-street, Rye-lane ; and in De Crespigny-road ; Denmark -hill, There ) is every probability of the contrac being completed in the course of the present year. On the southern high level extension Mr. Pearson has completed about 1 4 mile of sewer to th e va l ue o f £ 8,500. At the Effra sewer, Brixton, Mr. Webster has done about 1,600 feet, to the value cf about £3,200. On the low level sewer, Ber mondsey blanch, Messrs. Baird have been busy making preparations for commencing their contract, getting pos session of the land, sinking deep sumps or wells for the drainage of the work. The Southwark new street was opened on the 28th of July last, between High -street and the Southwark-bridg e road, and Is now being continued to Great Guildford -street. About 1,320 feet of subway, and 1,375 feet of sewerage have been constructed at a cost of about £22,000, being £2,000 more than at the date of my last report. The boring for the Thames Embankment along the foreshore of the river between Westminster and Black friars-bridge, will probably be completed before my next monthly report. "J. W. BAZALGETTE, Engineer." The report was unanimously received, and ordend to be printed. TAE WESTERN MAIN DRAINAGE WORKS. A report was brought up from a committee of the whole board, stating that the sureties proposed by Messrs. Moron for the execution of the western main drainage works were quite satisfactory. The works will therefore be proceed ed:with. Some routine business was then disdosed of, and the board adjourned. AN IMPERIAL _EXCURSION.

The travellers w ere d elighted with the fine views which constantly present th emselves. The summit of the moun tain was reached at five, and after a short halt the descent took place, their Majesties and those who accompanied them halting on the plateau of the Petite-Rhune, after which the remainder of the excursion was got over by torchlight. Two bonfires was lighted on the heights, and the party arrived at the village of Sare about seven. The houses were all illuminated, and then Majesties were greeted with loud acclamations. While the Emperor was addressing questions to the authorities about the wants of the country, the Empress and the ladies of her suite rested for a short time at the house of M. Goyetche, the deputy-mayor, where refreshments Were offered them. Their Majesties afterwards entered their carriages at half past eight, and reached the villa about eleven.--Gaignani. Oct. I.—The quarterly returns of SHIPBUILDING ON THE WEAR.-SUNDERLAND, Wear have been vessels building on the compiled to-day. The number of vessels on the stocks yesterday was 85, representing an aggregate of 31,242 torts. Of the 85 ships in progress 44 have already found purchasers. As compared with the returns for the 30th of June last, there are at present 14 vessels, or 4,955 tons, fewer on the stocks; but it must be borne in mind that, as Lloyd's classification for the new year commences on the Ist of July, vessels were pressed forward for launch ing on that day. The market for new ships is more active now than it has been for some time past, the high freights ruling in China, and the expectation that very considerable importations of grain will have to take place, being the main influences at work in stimulating the demands. Prices are firm, and may be quoted at £ll per ton (builders' mea surement) for a ship of 400 tons, with Baltic outfit, and classed for 10 years. Shipwrights' wages are ss. per day, and, what is very rare in the building yards of the Wear, there has not been a single strike on the river side for more than twelve months on end. The increase of iron ship building on the Wear is now so considerable that there are at present nearly 5,000 tons on the stocks. A company for cleaning windows and shopfronl has just been established at Vienna. Newly-invented ma chines will be made use of to prevent the accidents which so frequently occur. The price for cleaning each window in fixed at the low rate of one kreutzer and a half (about four centimes). Paris has rarely been more abundan tly ddi supplied n to th with pears than in the present year. a ns to Paris, e e immense quantities furnished by the n - e aray, Auvergne waggon loads arrive every , dayrfr,°,um pi Nantes, Angers and Le Mans.
