The taxes on knowledge must be repealed ere long ;no one doubts it. Argument has settled the question in every mind acquainted with the subject, and if only remains for an adequate number of mind , . give their attention fn and the thing is done for ever. The press in • England once liberated—liberated not by a mob revolution—brit by full discussion both within and without the walls of Parliament, will never be enslaved again. Enslaved ! some reader may exclaim—yes, enslaved, we repeat. The news paper press works in fetters. It is chained to nowning-street— . -:chain.ed to the Excise-office— celaained to the Stamp-office. It is trebly chained ; it works under the load of a paper duty, a stamp duty, and duty. - How it works a ll ' on all, a l: ll the wonder ; and we doubt - not that the the pock alr e , e a of ale fruits of its labour goes into irrefutai 4 of a •its oppressor. Nothing can more than the contrast its bondage in England periodical press as o t f with America. There the es: ix . a every class is really free ; no duty of checks its movements. What is the conseq uence 7 pool, two great coramh Take e arkeiajNewYork and Liver ten days sail of each neighbours, within coi3ie :ther. In New York at least 100,000 are circulated in the city of aidally newspapers pool there is not one daily pa In Liver y Paper trast with London, th e f ountain : The eon- Encd . daily papers, is almost as g l ar i ng. , ish which numbers its.population by millions, ten daily pape rs. reckons has New York, which s population by hundreds of thousands only, has fifteen. London ought, by the same proportion, to have forty or fifty. Three-fourths of all th e families in America take a daily paper, every skilled operative takes one ; nay almost every workman en j o y s the privilege of the substantial L'idola citizen, and has his own Newspaper regularly with his breakfast. Such un ques ti oned fac t s as these, affirra) beyond the possibility of denial, the bondage of the English newspaper press. Our manufacturers of the raw materials, our printers and publishers, our editors, are no way inferior to the Americans iu skill and enterprise. We could beat them. We do beat them in every manufacture which is free at home. We send them our textile fabrics, and our hard ware, even in the face of their high protective duties. In cheap production of almost every kind no country can surpass us, and certainly not America. There can be, then, but one reason for the humiliating disparity of our newspaper circula tion, and that is that our press is heavily fettered. It is to little purpose to begin calculations attempt ing to prove that the burdens on the newspaper are not very heavy after all. That the paper duty is only an amount per sheet which no coin will express ; that the penny stamp is but twenty per cent. on a fivepenny paper, and the advertise ment duty but eighteenpence for each insertion; — the broad answer is, that the working of all three combined is such, that New York takes 100,000 copies of the daily papers ; while Liverpool has not a single daily paper of its own, and, at most, takes a few scores, possibly a hundred or two, of the London dailies. By a little consideration, in deed, it is easy to see the execrable working of the three duties. Every man of business knows that the Excise regulations and interference augment the cost of paper probably quite as much as the duty does. Then the . stamp and the advertise ment duties necessitate the expense of increased capital, on the part especially of the actual sellers of the paper, the newsmen. Again, the limitation of the sale, by the increased cost of the paper, re acts upon the cost itself, since every newspaper is obliged to incur preliminary expenses for each im pression, which, if distributed over double or treble the number of copies, would lower the pro portion of those expenses which belonged to each copy. It is obvious that in these ways, and others which might be mentioned, the three taxes en hance the cost of the newspaper considerably be yond their own absolute amount. In a fiscal point of view, moreover, nothing can be more absurd than retaining three taxes at the same time. 'Supposing the paper duty to be, fiscally the best, since it yields altogether more than double the penny stamp duty, and more than five times the advertisement duty,—then how foolish beyond measure to check the consumption of paper, by taxing it again twice over. The three taxes impoverish each other. Each tax, to realize its largest produce, requires an extensive circulation ; while each contributes to check the circulation ; indeed, it seems likely that a larger amount might be real ized by one than by the three. At any rate, like protective duties, they are now so arranged as to inflict the greatest pos sible loss upon the consumer compared with the amount they bring into the public treasury. Of all the duties, however, we think the adver tisement duty the least defensible. Its amount is insignificant. Some 160,0001. or 170,000/. a year ; while its palpable injustice to the lower classes, is .alone a sufficient reason to demand its instant abolition. It ought no longer to be endured, that any servant wanting a place should pay as much to Government for permis sion to advertise his or her wants in a few lines, as the North-Western Railway Company for a column or more about its millionaire transactions. It is well known too that advertisements are to a large extent the support of every newspaper ; not only do they support it directly, but the adver tisements and the circulation mutually aid each other. This is again exemplified on the largest scale in America, where some of the principal ad vertising papers are actually sold at one half penny each. Every tradesman in town or coun try advertises the arrival of almost every parcel of goods. The advantage of this practice to the retail trade is sufficiently obvious from the success of all the great advertising dealers in this coun ay. _ _ _ As to the penny stamp, defended as a postage stamp, though the majority of papers never go through the post, it is doubtless maintained, as it was laid on, to check the diffusion of political knowledge. No one would complain of a half penny stamp, as in America, or even a penny one, for papers actually sent by post; to charge all alike, whether they go by post or not, is no bet ter than a fraud; the amount, deducting the ex pense to the Post-office, is inconsiderable to the revenue; we fear this tax is but a. rem nant of the Six-Acts spirit, of the political corruption and cowardice which, by such a device, put an end to Wm. COBBETT'S " two penny trash." By far the greatest mischief of the newspaper taxes, however, has yet to be men tioned. They are taxes on the most efficient edu cator of the day. It is the universal fashion now to laud education to the skies, but each party fights bitterly to get the education into their own hands, and the number is by no means very large who are for thorough liberty of education. If they think they can make it serve party purposes all is right, but if the advance of the people in general knowledge merely, or political knowledge espe cially, is in question, they are indifferent or op posed. We test the sincerity of the advocates of education very much by the attitude they assume in regard to the taxes on knowledge. It is upon the newspaper, and upon the many cheap and ex cellent publications for the million, that these taxes press with the greatest severity. The Marchioness or the Duchess finds little or no effect from them upon the cost of her three volume novel. But they put a stop to many an admirable series of penny and three-half penny tracts ; while the comparison with America proves that they exclude the newspaper from the cottage of the working-man. This last fact is the most important. There is no educator like the newspaper. It creates the wish to learn to read. It perpetuates the ability to read. It supplies what all like to read ; it sup plies that which some will read who will read nothing else. All wish to know the news. Mr. HORACE GRRETX, Editor of a New York paper, stated, before the Committee of the House of Commons, that in his opinion nothing made the children of the working classes think learning to read a necessary acquirement more than seeing their fathers read the papers at home, and that without the inducements supplied toy the news papers numbers who had learned to read would, as in England, soon forget it. Newspapers, therefore, we regard as self-educators of the people ; while all the various school-systems are not only in part bounty-systems, but they fail of producing permanent results, because not backed up in subsequent life by that greatest of all in t. etain the habit of reading—the newspaper. We know we shall be met by some dilettanti sneer, at the little worth of such read ing. Well, but Mr. EXQUISITE, do you not read some newspaper. And if with all your philo sophy and taste you want your morning and even ing paper as much as your tea or breakfast, why should not the newspaper be somewhat worthy of the poor man's attention. SIR CHARLES LYELL, surely a competent witness, bears testimony to the general good quality of the cheap American papers. He bought them largely, he says, in every place, and considered them quite equal to the average in this country. He was particularly struck with their frequently giving good reviews of valuable works, and much larger extracts from them than are given in England, and thought the general effect of the papers must be to lead to the reading of books of value. How desirable that such lectures and speeches, as we have occasion to publish, by Lord CARLISLE, the Duke of NEW CASTLE, and Sir E. L. BULWER, should have the largest circulation amongst the mechanic class. This can only be done through the Newspaper Press. Much in the sante way therefore as we regard the ballot as the test of a real reformer, so we regard the Repeal of the Taxes on Knowledr as the test of a real educator. We can only add at present, that we consider Mr. DISRAELI'S accession to office as the time for a decided effort. We know from the past that his sympathies are with the object. It would be more for his historical reputation to be known as the Emancipator of the British Press, than to carry any fiscal or party measures whatever. If he d oes not ° i credit ofit, d one it will be by the force of public opinion,a measure and why sh ou ld he not have the teresting to hira than which m u st be far more in- The Whigs went out f n o to most of our statesmen. offi o ce, and with regard to the people, " left th e padlo c k DisBAELI only ha th kon their mind." Let " courage to take it off, and if PvEL be remembered by them as the States man who gave them cheap bread, DISRA.ELI will be remembered as the Statesman who gave them cheap literature. No time will be lost in bringing forward, or, at least, announcing the nature of the different measures of Legal Reform, about to be introduced with the sanction, and under the auspices, of her MAJESTY'S Government. The LORD CHANCELLOR has appointed to-morrow evening for that purpose, thus evincing a creditable promptitude on a sub ject in which the entire community of all classes and grades in society are so deeply interested. The Noble and Learned Lord at the same time THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 15, 1852. declared that all the bills are in preparation, and that every care is taken to render them as perfect as possible. This is what we had anticipated from Lord ST. LEONARDS. The great improve ments introduced into the rules and practice of the Irish Court of Chancery by the Noble Lord, convinced us that he would assume a prominent position in the ranks of Legal Reformers ; and the experience of last Session has more than realized our anticipations. We have it on the very high est authority—that of Lord BnotraliAm—not only the greatest law reformer, but perhaps the most distinguished of any age or nation, that " within the last twelve months, more considerable pro gress had been made in the amendment of the law than during any twelve times twelve months within his recollection." It is true that many of these measures had been prepared under the di rection of the late Government, and that the RIJS- SELL Ministry, if it remained in office, would have been justly entitled to the credit thereof. But, on their secession, the plans which they had sanctioned were not only fully and fairly carried into execution, but even extended, and rendered more beneficial by their successors. There was no petty jealousy—no captious objections taken to the productions of their rivals. On the con trary, the different parties appeared for once to have met on neutral ground ; the chief, if not the only, competition being who should render the greatest aid in improving the practice, and ren dering the administration, of the law as nearly perfect as any merely human institutions could hope to be. The LORD CHANCELLOR was nobly seconded in his exertions by the Law Lords, who co-operated zealously and efficiently in promoting the necessary alterations. It would, indeed, be difficult now to find any person as serting the soundness of the existing system, or denying the propriety of large and comp rehensive measures of Legal Reform. Among those measures will, as we have recently pointed out, be one, or more, relating to the Ecclesiastical Courts. The paragraph in the QuEEN's Speech rendered that certain. W e sin cerely trust that the total abolition of these ob jectionable tribunals --the business of which may be far more efficiently, cheaply, and expeditiously performed—will be decided on. No sympathy can be felt for the sinecurists who have so long battened on the community, and who have alto gether neglected the comparatively trifling duties for which they have hitherto been so extrava gantly remunerated. The sole object for which they were created and m aintained appears to have been the qu artering of certain relatives of bishops on the public purse, without any reference to their age, sex, or efficiency. We find from a recent Parliamentary return that women and children were considered eligible for these situa tions ; and it is a matter of public notoriety, that the reversionary interest in one of the most lucrative situations has been mortgaged by an in surance company for a large sum of money. Surely the Right Rev. Prelates are sufficiently rewarded for their own services without any indirect advan tages being required. It is exceedingly impolitic to permit their names to be coupled with such gross jobs, calculated to bring scandal upon the Church. The temptation to error should be forthwith removed. When we find that there are no less than 26 courts in a single diocese, all affording opportunities for patronage, but of no other utility, we can only express our astonish ment that such a system should ever have been sanctioned, or that it should so long have existed, with all its abuses and imperfections. The law relating to , the management of the property and the protection of the person of luna tics, wil also be ameliorated. The Lord CHAN CELLOR, on Friday evening, clearly and distinctly assumed the responsibility of the necessary legis lation on the subject. Lord LYNDHURST had last Session introduced a Bill for these purposes, but the Noble and Learned Lord willingly surrendered it to the present occupant of the Woolsack, on whom the duty properly devolved, and who, representing the Government, pos sesses facilitieg which no private Peer, how ever influential, could command. The HOME SECRETARY has also declared in the House of Commons that the Government was preparing a measure for the codification of the laws. At present, none but professional men of high experi ence are acquainted with the real state of the law on any subject. It is scattered through hundreds, if not thousands, of volumes. Every man, how ever humble, should be made acquainted with the rules and regulations to which he is bound to con form. The law, more especially the criminal law, should be presented in an intelligible and accessible form, so that "he who runs may read," and understand what his duties to his Sovereign and his neighbour require at his hands. We have it on the authority of Lord BROUGHAM, that " the whole of the first branch of the Criminal Law Digest—that relating to crimes and punish ments—has been fully examined by one Commis sion, after being diligently prepared by another." It is the second branch relating to procedure that alone requires revision. This digest is not intended to alter the existing law, but merely to state its provisions accurately in a simple and in telligiblefiosrcompleted, subsequent f o rfo rm. Any choe nnsi the er a a m ti e o n n d m, defects b e u n t a t nw N d v h i 1 le incongruitiesn b e the a matter Digest l . of the law are rendered apparent, such amend ments may be introduced with comparative ease, and without incurring the risk of t . crea mg greater evils than those which it was intended to remedy. It is, indeed, time that the prolixity and conf sion in our statute laws should be set aside, that the English should know with clearness and pre cision that which they are called on to obey. It is not merely the Criminal Law that requires this codification. That is, unquestionably, the first t o - be undertaken; but the whole of the Statute L aw, and of the Common Law, should be subjected to the same process. Litigation will thus be pre vented, and " the glorious uncertainty of the law'° will be a thing of the past at which our descen dants may well wonder, and which they can scarcely conceive. F U N E RAL OF THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. We announced on Saturday that carriages with p ersons going to houses to see the p rocession pass, would be allowed to set down in Picca dill y at any hour in the mornin g not later than nine o'clo ck ; and to houses on any other part of half -past bnietnweeeon,clrocickca.

SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY. — Spec ial performances will take place at Exeter Hall, on Wednesday and Th urs _ day next, the evening proceeding and the evening of the day of the Duke's funeral. They will be on the Society's usually extensive scale, conducted by Mr. Costa.

" LIVING MARIONETTE THEATRE," LEICESTER-SQUARE. —The talented troupe of children now exhibiting at the theatre, are very ably drilled to their new line of business, which consists merely of strutting on the stage, only going through the action, whilst the speaker is placed behind the Coulisse; but the easy and graceful style in which these talenteyoungsters go through their evolutions must be seen to be appreciated. A cleverly-written version of " Uncle Tom's Cabin" is now running a successful career, which, together with a charming ballet, and a laughable farce, constitute this admirable entertainment. Great praise is due to Mr. F. Cooper, the manager, for the talent he evinces in getting up the pieces, and training these dumb comedians, which rival in comicality the celebrated wooden dolls of Mr. Si m p son .

TIE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S FUNERAL, The preparations at St.!Paul's for the ceremony of Thursday next, notwithstanding the immensity of the task to be accomplished, are advancing rapidly towards completion. With 800 workmen employed until 10 o'clock at night, each man animated with a sort of en thusiasm for his work, as we believe is the case, much may be done even in the short space of time which re mains, and there is not the slightest doubt but that everything will be finished by the day. At present only the seats in the nave appear in a state of completion ; nothing remains to be done there but the trimming with white fringes of the black cloth with which they are covered. The seats in the north transept, which are in the form of a semi-circular sweep, rising to the height of 50 feet, are built up, but not yet. covered. These are to be appropriated to Members of the House of Commons, and behind them, on the higher benches, will be placed the Corporation of London. The Peers will be placed on the seats opposite, in the south transept, built also in a similar sweep. We need scarcely say that all is built with the greatest solidity and strength of material. Water will be laid on, and stands, with glasses placed at intervals ; indeed everything is provided which can be needed by those who will have to wait for hours in the Cathedral before the procession arrives. We believe that a definite decision has now been arrived at as to the exact spot in which the remains of the Duke are to be placed. It was contemplated removing the body of Nelson, which at present lies exactly in the centre of the vault, a little to the right, so that the two great heroes might lie side by side in the centre of the great national temple, but that intention is now relinquished, and the coffin of Wellington will rest a little to the east of the naval hero. On Thursday it will be temporarily laid upon Nelson's tomb. The vault is now open, and naturally attracts great attention. The machinery by which the coffin is to be is, we believe, completed, as well laoswtehraetd by y o t whichhe va vault, it s to be lifted from the funeral-car to a small hearse• at the door of the Cathedral. When placed on this, it will be propelled along the nave until it rests over the vault, into which, at the proper moment, both coffin and hearse will be lowered together. Messrs. Cubitt have also received directions for the construction of machinery to place the coffin on the car, before start ing from the Horse Guards, so that the interposition of human hands may be needed as little as possible, or not at all. For this purpose, also, a tent will be erected in St. James's-park, under which it will rest until it re ceives the coffin, and takes its place in the procession. The height of the car is 30 feet, by 10 feet in width, and 51 feet long. It runs on six wheels. It is now com pleted, and, on Friday last, loaded with immense blocks of granite ; it made an experimental trip along the route, which was perfectly successful. Several partial experi ments have been tried with the lighting of the Cathedral; but, we believe, one will be made this evening on a grand scale, by which some idea will be attained of the effect to be produced. The Lord Mayor has issued an address to his fellow citizens, desiring that, on. the day of the funeral, all busi ness, but such as is absolutely indispensable, may be suspended. Temple-bar is to be hung with black, and prepara tions are now being made for that purpose. No person will be allowed to pass along the road-way of Fleet street and Ludgate-hill after nine o'clock ; and barri cades will be erected along the sides to confine the cir culation to the footpaths. This part of the route will also be kept by 1,000 of the household troops. The railing in front of St. Paul's has been pulled down, and a wider space will thus be afforded for the reception of thefuneral cortege. It is understood that the whole of the troops which are to be present at the funeral, will have arrived in London by this evening. One soldier from each regi ment will be placed in the Cathedral. THE LYING IN STATE OF THE LATE DUKE OF WELLIYGTON AT CHELSEA HOSPITAL-(THIS DAY.) This morning, despite of the rain which fell in heavy showers, and of the timidity which might naturally have been expected to arise from the fatal accidents of Saturday, a numerous crowd was assembled at the en trance to the Hall, waiting for admission. Happily, to day we have not to recount any such events as those which took place on Saturday. The police authorities have now the whole management in their own hands, and, as is always the case under such circumstances, the public have nothing to fear. Under the present ar rangement, there are two. routes of access to the hall ; one by the Queen's-road from the east, and another down the avenue which leads from the King's-road to the cen tre entrance to the lioapii•al on the north. On each side of these routes barriers ha,Ve been erected at the distance of 20 yards from each otter; space capable of contain ing about 100 people, but into which only 50 at a time are admitted. As the barriers in front empty into the Hospital, they are filled by those behind, and so on through the entire route. A clear space is kept immediately in front of the entrance, and a detachment from the Avenue and one from the Queen's Road are admitted alternately. In stead of 150 men, which the department which had assumed the management of the arrangements considered would be sufficient for the service on Saturday, there is at present at least a force of 900 men on the ground. Each barrier is manned by half-a-dozen policemen, who have easy access into the middle of the small crowd which is under their control at any moment, so that none of those disgraceful scenes which took place on Saturday can be expected to recur. The utmost order and regu larity prevail ; and we make no doubt that any person placing himself at the outside 9f the crowd at the east end of Queen's- roa d, would find himself in about half an-hour passing out of the west end of the hall, without having experienced the slightest crush or annoyance. The following are the numbers, as taken by the police, of the visitors up to 12 o'clock : From 9 to 10 o'clock . » 10 to 11 ~ 1 1 tO 12 » 6,340 7,000 6,860 Making a total of . 20,200 At this rate about 60,000 may be expected to pass through in the course of the day. THE ACCIDENT OF SATURDAY. The bodies of the two women -who were squeezed to death in the crowd of Saturday have been removed to St. Luke's Hospital, where they hive since been iden tified as that of Mrs. Bean, aged 50, the wife of a livery stable -keeper, of Cumberland-mews ; Regent's-park ; the other that of a domestic in the serice of Mr. Bethel, Q.C., named Charlotte Cook. They will remain here until the Coroner's inquest. THE ADMISSONS TO CHELSEA COLLEGE. Withthe numerous letters which we have received subject, we are enabled, from infor mation on which we can fully rely, to acquit the Lord Chamberlain's office' referenc eupon t h i to s of any blame as to the number of tickets issued on Friday last. The applications for tickets were 25,000 ; of these 12,000 were granted, and 14,000 refused.. 11,000 were received at the doors. The Lord Chamberlain's calcu lations, therefore, allowed only 12,000 persons to pass through the building in eight and a half hours. The next da,y47,000 persons passed through the same space in seven hours. It will be seen, therefore, that tae faults which proved so fatal, whatever they were, and with whomso ever they rested, had nothing to do with tie Lord Cham berlain's office. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) HAWKER V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. his sent this morn ing,i The p e r o Lord e d Chancellor,proceeded to gv give j u u d p g o m n e taking7n this appeal, which hoe ia a o s rd b e e T n r ü b r e o f r h e a v t i h ng C o o n u c r e t fora great length of time, decided the qu e s tion. His Lordship, after going through the facts of the case at great length, stated that the bill was filed for the specific performance of a contract; and it was his opinion that a clearer case had never been brought before a court of jus tice. On the part of the Company it had been alleged that the contract was entered into illegally ; but his Lordship was of a different opinion, and stated that it was disgraceful for a public company, having every op portunity of knowing the law, to come there, and to try and take advantage of a private individual by turning round upon their own acts. He should, therefore, with out any hesitation, both law and equity being in favour of the contract, dismiss the appeal, and that with costs. WOoDWIN'S SoillEES CoMIQUEB.—No entertainment submitted of late years to the London public, has attained a more speedy or merited popularity than Mr. Woodwin's " Carpet-bag an d Sk e t c h-book," which draws nightly a fashionable and full attendance at the Royal Marionette Theatre. The extraordinary versatility of the monologist, the rapidity of his transformations , and the va riet y of amusing characters he personates, render an evening's visi t to this elegant Salle, ono of the most thoroughly enjoyab le Lions of the metropolis. Mr. Woodwin is an artist of singularly comi c power, totally free from exaggeration or buffoonery. Among his best delinea tions are the imita tions of several of our most celebrated actors, which he gives with extreme fidelity and effect. The large amount of patronage bestowed on his unique display of talent, is eininOntly doomed. MONEY AN. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, ---:-- were estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales, of Shr, which 1,500 American were taken on speculation. The market closed heavily, without alteration in st. prices. The sales comprised 3,000 American, 100 20 Egyptian at 7d. to MI., and 400 Surat, at 4d. to 4d. , per lb. In Railway Shares only a limited 14 business done, the dealers and brokers being en- „ i gaged in preparing for the settlement. The con tinuation was heavy and bullish. 27 Wheat is barely so dear. The mail from Brazil brings favorable intelligence 22 from Rio as to the general state of business, and it s r ,,t ;, is gratifying to learn that the crops of sugar and 'sob coffee will be large. 50 The Buenos Ayres accounts are very interesting. 50 There had been a species of counter-revolution,, 25 and a new Government appears to have been formed. Judging from the patriotic and wise course 25 4° hitherto adopted by General Urquiza there was really no occasion for this. The General hasd one 18 all in his power to benefit the province and 20 without the slightest view to his own aggrandize- 25 ment. Probably the new government would imitate 25 his moderation, though it had already reversed 25 some of his acts. National Custom-houses, for ex- st ample, were abolished. The uncertainty that pre- Sc vailed• was injurious to trade, but a moderate busi nmss had been done, and it was hoped the deposit St sy stem would be continued. If so all articles would st be admissible to deposit, and the ad valorem duty St would be per. Cent. per month, as storage charge Si on manufactured goods, with a reduction of 25 per St Cent. on the rates leviable at present on other 5( articles. The mercantile advices by the Overland Mail from Calcutta are satisfactory, and there was a fair demand for imports. At Amsterdam, on the 13th inst., Dutch Stocks were firmer. In Foreign, business was quite re stricted. The railway meetings announced are the follow ing: Killarney Junction, 30th Nov., Dublin; Leeds Northern, Ist eeds; Royal Swedish, 22nd Nov., Gottenburg; Dec., iVaterford and Kilkenny, 26th Nov., London Tavern; West Flanders, 20th Nov., Office; ditto, 26th Nov., Bruges. To secure the allottment of new shares (in the preparation of one new for two original), the Dijon St. and Besangon shares must be sent to the Paris office on or before the 10th November, for the pur- 25 pose of being stamped. A deposit of 41. per new 25 share will be required, for which a receipt will be St. given, to be subsequently exchanged (should the S B i concession be granted) against provisional certifi- St. cates, credited as 41. paid. Should the company 50 fail to obtain the concession, the deposit of 41. per 25 share to be returned in full, but without interest, 100 within six months, at the latest, from Ist Novem- St. ber, 1852. 25 The form of receipt has been seen, and, from the r following paragraph at foot, it is clear that the 15 document is not of a negotiable character :—" Le 50 present certificat est personnel et incessible, et ne St. saurait constituer aucun droit en d'autres maens 16 quo colles du Tutlelaire." 8 The following note, dated Bth inst., has been re- 8 ceived from the office of the Great -Southern and 20 Western (Ireland) :—" With reference to the reso- 20 lution passed by the shareholders of this company, 10 at the half-yearly meeting, held on the 28th Aug. st. last, authorizing the conversion of their original (501.) shares into stock, I have now to acquaint you that henceforth the buyers of these shares will be furnished with certificates of stock representing the amount of the shares so purchased." The Directors of the Paris and Orleans Railway Company have reminded those shareholders, who, in consequence of the recent conversion of their certificates, are entitled to new dividend shares, and may desire to transform them into new omnium shares, that upon payment of 350 francs (141.) per share, such exchange will be permitted to take place. - The following note, dated 9th inst., has been re ceived from the Secretary ofthe North Staffordshire Railway Company :—" I beg to acquaint you, for the information of those interested, that application will be made in the present Session of Parliament for leasing or amalgamating this line with the Lon don and North Western, in accordance with the circular of the 9th ult." The English stock market is without any change of importance, and business very restricted. Con sols are 1001 4 for transfer, and 1004 1 for ac count. The New 31 per cents. have been 1024 to 103, and the 3 per cents 991 to 4. Exchequer Bills of March are 725., and India . Bonds 85s. premium. Messrs. Devaux and Co. have informed the com mittee of Turkish Scripholders that the Loan was - §I. introduced to them by Messrs. Blount and Co. of 5 Paris, and that they kept 60,0001. of it for St. themselves. 20 Iroreign becurities have not generally moved, t?. but there is a rally in Turkish Scrip within the last 15 half hour from 2 and 2i to 2 1 and 31 premium. The Swedish Loan is flat at 11 Discount. Vene- 6 , zuela Deferred Bonds have been 154. Mexican 6 . Stock has been firm at 25 to 4. Buenos Ayres is 3 down 5 to 6 per cent. on account of the new poli tical change. Brazilian Scrip realises 1} premium. 5 Sardinian Bonds are firm at 981. Belgian Four- 71 and-a-Half Per Cents bring NI to 4. 6' Railway Shares have been influenced by the set- 61 tlement of the Account which is now in progress, 10' and most of the old lines, which had been a little 20 flat early in the morning, are better since. French Shares are all rising again, and some are 1/. to 30s. 10 st. dearer. Mines are dull. K BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY. (From the Official List.) Business done. 3 per Cent.

By the various commissions in the market this morn ing, I perceive I must change my selection of last week for the Great Warwick Handicap ; Ariosto on Saturday, and again to-day, having been backed in a very free manner, evidently showing that mischief is meant with him - and as he will have the assistance of one of the leading jockeys of the day—Nat,--he must be there or thereabouts. He will be my substitute for Gladiole, my pick of last week. Miss Ann this morning has received a good deal of support ; and, as she represents her sta ble, is decidedly dangerous. Hungerford was in great force on Friday and Saturday morning, but about mid day began to decline, and this morning is quoted at 8 and 10 to 1, layers. If he is meant his chance, now Gladiole is set aside, he is one of the best in the race. 20 and 25 to 1 was offered yesterday against Tomboy ; this morning a commission out in his favour has forced him up to twelves. The Odiham party have supported their horse steadily, and he stands firm at small odds. Lindrick remains as on Saturday— about 5 to 1. 6 What little has been done on the Welter Cup is entirely in favour of Agis, about who m, an y thin g above 3 to 1 is taken freely. The betting on the Grand Steeple; c hase makes n, Abd el-Kader Lough the favourite at 5 to 1 ; a g ood bit of mone y , however, has been invested on Maurice Dale y , Proceed, Carrig, Peter Simple, and Peter, at 7 and 8 to 1 each. For the Hurdle Race there is nothing in force but Tomboy, about whom 3 to 1 is ta k e n very freely. It is understood, in well - informed quarters, that the fie o l u d g f h or ß t a h wn e G, Tomboy, boyWa7ovidam Warwick Handicap, Lindrick, will Trifle, c I si ssetbia of Alonzo, Ariosto, Miss Ann, Hungerford, Little Fa Dame Tattle, and Ibis. . . ..._ . . Maunce Daley and Abd-el-Kader are first-rate ani mals for investment for the Steeple-chase, both to win and for places. St. St. St. St. LOO !Aberdeen BilAmbg. Nottng. Bost. & Eastn.
