Though operative spinners and weavers are generally pretty well employed, there are many artizans, such as joiners, masons, bricklayers, &c., out of work." I= According to a statement of the circulation of the Belgian banks, it appears that on the 10th ult. the amount was 37,099,000 francs, and on the 25th ult. it had increased 1,654.000 francs, the Sock é Generale having added 1,550,000 francs to its issues, and the Bank of Belgium 104,000 franc,. The Bank of Flanders dis counted, from the 11th to the 25th ult, by means of the special fund of 1,000,000 francs placed at its disposition by Government, 350 bills, amounting to 347,552 francs. At Hamburgh, on Friday last, business in exchanges was dull, but Bills at long date on London were in re quest. In Funds and Shares there was not a great deal doing. At Berlin, on the 28th ultimo, the transactions in Exchanges were also limited, and not much was done in Stocks and Shares. At Vienna, en the 27th ultimo, Public Securities were firm, though quiet. A communication from Christina states that the Nor wegian Government has ordered quarantine to be per formed by all vessels from Archangel and other har bours of Russia, as well as from Stettin, Altona, and Ram burgh. The Hibernia steamer hes been telegraphed as being off Liverpool, but a summary only of her news appears to be expected to-day. The American merchants are awaiting with much interest the delivery of their letters, as it is expected they will notice active markets for grain. The English Stock Market is looking rather firmer to-day, and there is a slight increase of business. The revenue returns are [anticipated with some anxiety, and the reports are conflicting thereon. It is quite impossible thus early that any precise result can have been ascertained, but it is said that the Statement will be favourable, and there are parties who even venture to guess at an increase of 200,0001. or 300,000/. The Dividends will be paid towards the close of the week, and the Stock Market may thence re ceive some impetus. Consols have ranged from 86 to 864 for Transfer, and from 864 to 861 for Account. Exchequer -bills of March are 295. to 325. premium. East India Stock is at 236. Bank Stock for Account has been at 194; and in South Sea Stock there has been a bargain at 951. 7 he Foreign Securities have been quiet with the ex ception of Mexican, which continues to advance, the prices ettained being 18} to 19. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been firmer, at 241 to Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 11 to 11k. Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. are worth 45. It is stated that the Aberdeen Railway Company have signed an agreement with the Edinburgh and Northern and the North British Companies, in pur suance of which the latter will advance the amount required to complete the Aberdeen line, aad it is concluded that about 200,000/. will suffice, and the terms are said to be 6 per cent. for five years, and 5 per cent. Subsequently in perpetuity. The tra ffic of the portion opened has greatly increased lately. In Railway Shares there is very little change, but the tone of the market is rather better, and on the low ricer of Saturday a partial rally has occurred in the principal lines.

It will have been perceived that the arrivals of stock from Germany have gradually fallen off during the last two months, and especially since the Government inspectors have received stringent orders to seize diseased Beasts and Sheep. The Merino Sheep htherto sold in Smithfield and elsewhere have been principally derived from Harnburgh ; hence, as the disease is still very prevalent on that portion of the Con tinent, we doubt much whether any further supplies will arrive hither from that quarter for some time hence. The heaviness in our market last week, and the depres sion in prices, have prevented any arrivals of Beasts or sheep from France; we understand, however, that large numbers of the former are ready for shipment in excel lent condition. At Southampton, 20 Beasts have been received from Spain, per steamer; and about 100 Oxen from France. In to-day's market the supply of foreign stock—owing, doubtless, to the unusually heavy trade experienced for it during the last three weeks, and the low prices at which it has been with difficulty disposed of—exhibited a considerable falling-off, compared with that exhibited for some time past. The Beasts were in very middling condition, but the quality of the Sheep and Calves was much improved. On the whole, the demand f4,r the foreign importations were steady, and the quota lions had an upward tendency. About 150 Beasts, 1,000 Sheep, and 40 Calves, were landed from the Dutch steamers this morning. As was pretty generally ex pected, from the large number turned out unsold on Monday last, there was a considerable falling-off in the supply of Beasts here to-day; and we may observe that its general quality was far from first-rate. Although the dead markets were fairly supplied with meat, the demand for all breeds of Beasts this morning, arising from the increased attendance of butchers, was steady, at, in most instances, an advance in the quotations paid on this day se'nnight of 2d per 81bs. The very primest Scots, which were scarce, sold at 4s 2d per 81bs; but the mire general top figure for Beef was 4s per 81b. Pre• viously to the close of the market, a good clearance of the Beasts and, we may add, of the Sheep, was effected. From the northern grazing districts we received about 1,000 short-horns; from the eastern, western, and mid land counties, 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devons, Scots, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; and from Scotland 30 horned and polled Scots. The remainder of the Bullock supply was de rived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metro polis. There was a great decline in the numbers of , Sheep, the supply being some thousands less than on Monday last. All breeds of Sheep, especially Downs and the best half-breds, commanded an improved in quiry, at a rise in value of 2d per 81b. The best Old Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81b. As Lambs are now quite out of season, we have discontinued to quote them. Their value may be considered about equal to that of Mutton. The supply of Calves was limited; hence the Veal trade was firm, but we have no improvement to no tice in value. Prime small porkers moved off steadily; all other kinds of Pigs slowly, at last week's currencies. REPORTED PROMOTIONS.—It is currently reported that in Coe course of the next few days a few promo tions will be made. Commander Hewlett, of the Excellent, it is said, will get his step, and it is very likely t.hat the First Lieutenant now serving in the Blenheim, and who is a most excellent and deserving officer, will get his rank of Commander. Corn mandor Harris, now of the Virago, with the Queen, it is also stated, will be made, together with Lieut. Bedford and the three Mates of the Royal yacht.

Want of funds, and the hopelessness of ?rocuring any more money, have also determined them Very extensive supplies of country-killed Meat have been received up to these markets since Monday last, v.z., 500 carcasses of Beef, 800 ditto of Mutton, 220 ditto of Lamb, 380 ditto of Veal, and 600 carcasses ol Pork. The quality of these arrivals has turned out tolerably good. With Meat slaughtered in the metro polis we have been extensively supplied; hence the general demand has ruled heavy, and prices have not been supported. About 750 carcases of Foreign Meat have been disposed of. Lamb is now out of season. not to carry out at present the comprehensive sugges tions of Mr. Rendei. Captain Sir John Hill has been on leave of absence, and Mr. Morice, the Master• Attendant, is at present carrying on the duties of Superintendent of Deptford Dockyard. Sir John's term of leave expired yes terday. OUT-PENSION OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—A Lieutenant's out-pension of Greenwich Hospital has become vacant by the death of—Retired Commander John Roche (1841). • We regret to state that Captain Sir Thomas Bour chier, K.C.8., has been suffering so severely from continued ill-health, that Mr. Karley, the Master- Attendant, has been acting for him in the duties of superintendent of Chatham Dockyard. The Admi ralty most considerately offered to appoint Captain •_;m.ith, of the Gange., at Sheerness, pro tern., to relieve him in the duties of the Ordinary at Chatham. Sir Thomas, however, feeling his state of health somewhat improved, declined to avail himself of this arrangement. 11S% 21 101% 50 0 0 50 0 0 Amount of Share. 0 1LNIES. Paid. I Price. Annum. FRANCE.

The Ticino Gazette of the 26th inst. states that the I Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of Austria, in Switzerland, Baron de Kaisers ' feld, had addressed a note to the Directory, mention ing that he had informed his Government of all the measures adopted by the high Federal Directory to maintain its neutral attitude. The Austrian Cabinet replied that it fully approved the conduct of Baron de Kaisersfe]d, and should gratefully preserve the loyal, equitable, and honourable conduct of the Federal Confederation. The Directory had announced to the cantons that the French Government had lately expelled from France a number of Swiss operatives, and that the French Ambassador had refused to legalize their pass ports. The Directory had expostulated with the Go vernment and Legation against that measure, con trary to international relations, and to the stipulations of the treaty of 1827. VENICE. The illoniteur du Soir of last night copies from a Lyons journal an article, dated Venice, the 12th inst., which states that " the Volcano, Austrian steamer, cruising between Venice and Trieste, lately took possession of a small Venetian vessel. An Eng lish steamer demanded that the latter should be re leased. The Austrian refused, but the British steamer pouring a broadside into ber, she released her prey and made off."

THE SALE AT STOWE.—BUCZINGHA M , SEPT. 30. —The first portion of this extraordinary sale was brought to a conclusion this day, after having extended over the extraordinary period of 35 days. The proceed ings since Tuesday have possessed little interest, the articles sold consisting almost exclusively of the furni ture of the upper bedrooms, servants' offices, &c. The prices realised by some of these effects have been most extraordinary, in many instances far exceeding their original cost. On Tuesday the supplemental sale, ex tending over five days, will be commenced. The first day will be devoted to the disposal of the antique and other sculpture in the saluon and gardens, the museum of minerals, and natural history, including the cele brated collection of the Abbe Haug, and some very in teresting Roman antiquities dug up a few years since iu the parishes of Thornborough and Foxcote, on the Stowe estate.

Covers were laid ior 50. FlRE. — During the night of Saturday a fire took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, the property of Mr. William Burn, No. 12, Lake-street, Mile-end New Town. It was caused by the heat of the stove in the next house, which set the beam an d fl oor i ng of the cellar on fire. B y the timely exertions of the inmates and strangers, the fire was confined to that portion of the premises in which it commenced. Ilad it not been for the timely discovery, there is no doubt that a fearful conflagration would have occurred. EXTRAORDINARY FALL OF RAIN AND FLOODS.— WORCESTER, SUNDAY MORNING. -- The whole of this district has been visited by a very extraordinary full of rain, followed, of course, by heavy floods. After some gentle rain during the early part of the week (Wednes day was a thoroughly wet day), rain began to fall at nine o'clock on Friday morning, and continued without a moment's intermission during the whole of that da) and night and yesterday, up to this moment (Sunday).

For the in ferior kinds of English Wool, the demand has become rather more active, at very full prices; but the fine qua lities command scarcely any attention. Colonial parcels are in moderate request, at late figures. TALLOW. For all kinds of Tallow, owing, in some measure, to the increase in the stock of Russia, the demand has be come heavy, at a decline in the quotations paid on Mon day last of quite 9d per cwt. P.Y.C. on the spot is selling at 47s per cwt. For forward delivery, few sales have taken place. Town Tallow, 47s per cwt net cash; Rough Fat, 2s 8i per 8 lbs. DEATH OF LORD BERWICK.—We have to announce the decease of Lord Berwick, which occurred at Atting ham House, the family seat, near Shrewsbury, on Thurs day, after a short illness. The deceased, Richard Noel Hill, was third son of Thomas Noel, first Lord Berwick, who was created Baron Berwick of Attingham, county Salop, in 1784. His two elder brothers succeeded in succession to the family title, and on the death of Wil liam, the third Lord, in August, 1842, th e d ecease d came to the title and estates. The late Lord, who was in holy orders, was for more than half a century rector of Thornton, in Cheshire, and was rector of Berrington Sutton, in Shropshire.

Mr. Cobden has addressed the following letter to Mr. Scholefield, M.P., in answer to an invitation to attend the annual meeting of the Birmingham Free hold Land Society :-- Hayling Island, Hants, Sept. 21, 1848. My dear Sir,—l have read, with much interest, the letter written by Mr. Taylor, which you were so good as to enclose to me, giving a detailed account of the operations of the Freehold Land Society in Birmingham and the neighbourhood. Should you take the chair at the anniversary on the Gth of Oc tober, pray communicate my best wishes for the success of the society, and my regret at not being able to accept the pressing invitation of its indefa tigable secretary to be present at the meeting. In your note, you tell me that the freehold qualification movement claims me for its father. It is very ex traordinary that this mode of extending the franchise did not occur to our Parliamentary Reformers long ago . It was not until after the League had been for nearly five years agitating for the abolition of the Corn Laws that the idea of urging all Free traders to purchase forty-shilling freeholds struck toe . I don't know how it entered my head, but I remember afterwards feeling astonished at not having previously thought of so obvious a means of effecting our object. Up to that time I could never satisfactorily answer the question which was constantly recurring in my own mind—Wow can the Corn Laws be repealed ?' But from the moment Shen we launched the county qualification project, I never felt the slightest doubt or difficulty in the matter; it ' became thenceforth merely question of time and labour, both of which we were prepared to give for the triumph of our principles. Five years have since elapsed, and I am more than ever con vinced that the Freehold Land Society of Birming ham has resorted to the only safe, certain, and legal means of effecting those further political reform; which are necessary to bring the Government into greater harmony with the wants and wishes of the majority of the people of this country. I observe a disposition in certain quarters to flatter us English men with self-complacency and quiescence, by pointing to the revolution of the Continent, and, like the Pharisee, thanking heaven that w e are not as other nations are ; but if we have escaped those con vulsions which have shook the very foundations o f social order amongst our neighbours, it i s b ecause, hilst they have been politically stagnant, we have been constantly reforming and chan g i ng , an d I see no other guarantee against revolutions for the future but in the labours of earnest men, like Mr. Taylor and his coadjutors, who inspire their countrymen with confidence and hope that hence forth, as in times past, by moral means alone, all ne cessary reforms may be effected in the institutions and practical policy of this kingdom. Whatever may he the remedial changes desired by different classes of Reformers; whether they be of an organic kind, such as the extension of the suffrage, th e b allot, shorter Parliaments, a fairer apportionment of the franchise—or of a practical character, such as the re duction or equalization of taxation, the maintenance of peace, &c., the Freehold Land Society points out the direct, and, I believe, the only path for reaching the objects they have in view. With such a ready means of arming themselves with political power, available to the majority of Englishmen through the exercise of a moderate share of prudence and economy they will betray a want of self-respect if they d o no t, by a general imitation of the exampl e of your society, obtain a sufficient control over the represen tation in the House of Commons, to secure the tri umph of those principles and that policy which shall fairly reflect the public opinion of this country ; and believe me, my dear Sir, faithfully yours, COBDEN. RICHARD William Scholefield, Esq., M.P. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 29.—Grocers have shown more disposition to purchase West India sorts this week, and several boards have fowl(' buyers at steady rates; the rt-finers are still open to buy a large vantity at the day's value, but there is scarcely any thing offerin g w hi c h i s s uitabl e f or their purposes.

It ap pears, from what 'we can learn, that a man, named Samuel Drinkwater, who was in the habit of assisti ng at the brewhowe of Mr. Robert Stanton, the Rose :ird Crown Inn, Bridge street, was, on the morning of Tuesday last, engaged lading water from a large brew. ing pan of boiling water, when he became overbalanced, and was precipated headlong into the pan. Mr. Stanton, who was present at the time of the occurrence, ran to his assistance, and succeeded in pulling him out, not, how ever, without having his hands very severely scalded. The body of the unfortunate man presented a horrifying Spe , ctaele, his flesh being literally boiled off his bones. Mr. Robson, surgeon, was promptly called in, and ren dered every assistance, but death put a period to his ex istence the same evening. Drinkwater has left a wife and one child.—Liverpool Mercury. SLIP OF EARTH ON THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE RAlL wAF.—During the past week a portion of the hill near \Varmsworth church, upon which the South Yorkshire line of railway and the " spoil bank" rests, slipped several feet. The " spoil bank," which runs parallel to the railway line, consists of redundant material from the cutting in the cliff. It is of great height and breadth. and is supposed to have caused the slip in question. The embankment has sunk several feet into the earth, as if there had been a hollow beneath, and has forced the surface-soil out of its place from the embankment to the edge of the river Don, where it has partly fallen in. The line of railway has not been at all damaged or disturbed. Doncaster Chronicle. all the main streams have flooded the adjacent lands to a very considerable extent, with the water still rising. Some very destructive results are apprehended. The rain began with the wind calm at N.E., and it gradually veered round by north to west. It is very unusual to have so much rain here with the wind northerly. Mr. Reynolds, M.P., it is said, is to be inspector of Savings Banks, with a salary of 1,500/. a year.—Pro vincial Paper. A large number of counterfeit sovereigns of ex traordinary perfect manufacture are in circulation in Manchester. HOW HORSES ARE TAUGllT.—Astley's method was to give each horse his initiatory lessons alone, and when there was no noise or anything to divert his attention from his instructor. If the horse was interrupted during the lesson, or his attention in any way withdrawn, he was dismissed for that day. When perfect in certain lessons by himself, he was associated with other horses, whose education was further advanced; and it was his practice to reward his horses with slices of carrot or apple when they performed well. Mons. A. Franconi in a similar manner rewards his horses. One evening I was in such a position at a performance of the Cirque National de Paris, that I could clearly see, at the Lutte des Voltigeurs, that the broad-backed horse held for them -to jump over was nearly all the time coaxed with small slices of carrots to remain stationary, whilst receiving the hard thumps of th e men springing up on hi m. could not make out why the horse was sniffing and ap parently nibbling at the chest of the man standing in front of him, with a rein in each hand to keep his tail towards the spring -board, until I remarked that a second man, placed in the rear of the other, every now and then slily passed his hand under his neighbour's arm to give the horse a small piece of carrot.—Lieut.-Colonel Hutchinson's Dog Breaking. DEATH OF JOHN SHEPPARD, THE CELEBRATED JOCKEY.—The death of this veteran of the turf took place on the 26th instant, at Norton-terrace, Melton. He long ago retired from his vocation as a rider, and settled at Norton, near Talton, a bright example of sterling worth, universally esteemed by all who know him. In his day, Mr. Shepherd had for masters some of the most distinguished sportsmen, and he won a fair share of the great races. In 1806, on Lord Foley's Paris, he won the Derby. In 1;97, on Mr. Goodricke's Lounge, he won the Doncaster St. Leger; again in pitol, he mounted Mr. Goodricke's Quiz, and carried off the great prize. In 1814, he again won the St. Leger, on the Duke of Hamilton's William. He was deemed a most discreet and judicious rider, and his honesty was proverbial. In his declining years his comforts have been greatly enhanced by the liberality of his son, who holds a distinguished position as a clergyman of the Es tablished Church. On the establishment of the Bentinck Fund he was nominated to an annual stipend, at the ex press request of Lord George Bentinck, in consideration of his Lordship's high approbation of Mr. Shepherd's well -spent life, and of his rectitude in his priession. At the advanced age of 84 he meekly resigned himself to his fate, and died a sincere Christian, venerated and esteemed for his many virtues.—Yorkshire Gazette. Lord John Russell is staying at the Tarbet Inn, Loch Lomond, whence he will proceed by way of Stir ling to Edinburgh, where he is expected to arrive on Vi ednesday next. DETENTION OF THE MAILS FOR SYDNEY AND NEw SOUTH WALES. —On Saturday notice was issued at the General Post-office that the Thomas Henry, with the mails for Sydney, New South Wales, Van Diemen's Land, South Australia, and New Zealand was detained. Letters, &c., in time this day. ICEBERGS IN THE ATLANTIC.-011 Saturday in telligence reached Lloyd's that several immense masses of ice were now drifting with the currents of the Atlantic Ocean, in the direct track of shipping passing between the United Kingdom and British North America and the United States. The Blonde, Captain Crawford, which arrived at Greenock on Friday, saw one of them on the sth ult. in long. W. 49, lat. N. 48, upwards of 600 feet high and a mile in length, the atmosphere in its vicinity being completely chilled. The loss of the Pre sident steam-ship is ascribed to a collision with one of these immense masses of ice. HUSBANDS AND Wives.—A Swiss journal fur nishes us with the following romantic tale of real life:— A married couple, who had: for several years lived in a state of anti-conjugal harmony, determined to part, and made an appointment with each other to meet at a notary's to sign the deed of separation. To arrive at the office of the man of law they had to cross a lake, and, as it happened, they both embarked in the same boat. On their passage a storm arose, and the boat was upset. The husband, being a good swimmer, soon reached the shore in safety. On looking round to see the fate of his fellow-passengers, he distinguished his wife still struggling for her life, but in imminent danger. A feeling of his early affections returned to him, and plunging again into the water, he swam to her and succeeded in rescuing her. When she recovered her senses, and learned to whom she owed her life, she threw herself into his arms, and he embraced her with equal cordiality, they then vowed an oblivion of all their differences and that they would live and die together.— Gulignuni's !Messenger. CASE OF SoBNAIIIIIULISM AT BRAINTREE. On Tuesday night, about half- past ten o'clock, a very se rious accident occurred to a little boy, seven years old, flatly d James Brown, son of Mr , Al exander Brown, pianoforte tuner, of Braintree, by jumping from a three story w indow into the street. It appeared he had been in the habit of walking in his sleep during the last three 3 ears, and on several occasions had been known to light a candle and take down part of the bedding, and also pull the bedclothes off his parents whilst asleep. On the night in question he succeeded in open ing the upper window, and precipitated himself into the sires t, a distance of about twenty feet, his head coming in fiariul contact with the kerb of the pavement ; his parents hearing him fall hastened to his assistance and carried him in doors, where he lay in a state of insen sibility-, the blood or zing from his ears. Mr. Harrison, surg, on, was immediately sent for, and we are sorry to state that no hopes are entertained of his recovery, his head 13,ing severely injured internally. Essex Standard.

The borough expenditure of Leeds for the year ending the 31st of August, 1848, exceeds that of the years ending 1847 by 5,6071., and that of 1846 by 7,0141. THE MAGISTRACY.—To-day (Monday) three Acts of Parliament passed in the late session come into ope rati( n relating to justices of the peace. The first (1 Ith and 12th Victoria, chap. 42) is for the purpose of facilitating the performance of duties of justices of the peace out of sessions with respect to persons charged with indictable afences, containing thirty-flye clauses, and a great many forms for the assistance of the magis tracy in carrying the same into execution.

The third Act (chap. 44) is to protect justices of the peace from vexatious actions, containing nineteen clauses. Several statutes are now repealed by these Acts, and the duties of justices are consolidat, d, and wore fully explained by the present provisions.

CHANNEL ISLAND Snares.—A vessel named the Hazard, arrived in the London Docks from Jersey, has brought 114 butts, 20 hogsheads, and 20 quarter-casks of brandy, comprising the entire cargo, the produce of the island, and consigned to or d er . W e are not aware of any instance in which a whole cargo of spirits has been imported from one of the Channel Islands, much less so large a quantity as that mentioned, and the arri val is of very considerable interest and importance. On Friday last, a person having the appearance of a commercial traveller, entered the bar of the Bell Inn, at Rarasi.ury, and commenced offering cigars for sale. A kentlen.an who was there inspected one box and then another, which was immediately taken up by the man, ho was not a little surprised on being told that he was in custody. The gentleman who bought the cigars was the excise officer. The man, whose name is Thomas Doughty ( a nd was sta t e d that he was an assistant to Mr. Meadow, a chemist at Wantage), was taken before Thomas Smith, Esq., at Ramsbury Manor, and remanded till the following day, to give Mr. Meadow an oppor tunity of attending. Oa Saturday, at four o'clock, the prisoner was again taken before the came magistrate, when Mr. Meadow attended, and confirmed the state ment as to defendant being in his employ. Mr. M. said that he was a licensed tobacconist, and was not aware that he was infringing the law by sending round cigars for sale. The penalty for this offence is 1004 with power for the magistrate to mitigate it to one-fourth of that amount. Mr. Smith said that the case was most clearly preyed, and indeed admitted by the detendant ; but, under all the circunistancea, he should reduce the penalty to the lowest amount in his power, and fine the defendant 254, which was immediately paid by Mr. Meadow,—Devizes Gazette. FIELD SPORT.—The Earl of Chesterfield, with a distinguished party, has begin shooting over the Earl's extensive preserves. On Saturday last the Noble Earl, with Prince George of Cambridge, Captaiii‘ Oliver, and Captain M`Donald, visited Stoke Fields for a day's sport.

When near the Burton Joyce Railway station a hare eluded the sportsmen, and made its way towards the village ; but being turned again, it went into the yard of Mr. Cook, blacksmith, where a long pole was reared in a slanting position against his shop. It immediately bf gan to ascend, and succeeded in getting w the top, and from the pole on to the roof ; it then ran along the roof of several houses and descended an alder tree belonging to Mr. William Seston. Baying in vain tried to t ffect an entrance into his parlour win dow, by jumping against the glass several times, it was ultimately caught at the house door.—Nottingham Journal. The Earl of Westmoreland is daily expected to arrive from Berlin, having obtained leave of absence from his diplomatic duties at the Court of Prussia.
