This course, so strongly in accordance with the views we have advocated from the very beginning, will be received with the greatest pleasure by the community in general. Among the many plans adopted by the " Bearish fraternity," for the purpose of depreciating the value of railway stock, and plundering the unfortunate shareholders, there is one that has been attended with peculiar success, and which has tended in a greal degree to produce the present extraordinary and most unfounded panic. Statements of the most exagge rated character, respecting the amount to be levied for the completion of the different lines that had already received the Parliamentary sanction, were gravely put forward. In the calculations on which they were based, it was assumed that the full amount that could by a possibility be raised, either by the creation of stock or by way of loan, would necessarily be levied, and that' the shareholders would be compelled to pay up those large amounts within an exceedingly limited p er i o d. No credit was given for the large amount that has already been borrowed and already expended by several of the companies in the completion of their undertakings. Nothing was , allowed for the number of Bills that passed through Parliament, in which no steps have since been taken to carry out the proposed undertakings, and . which are now virtually defunct, with but little prospect of resuscitation. N o account was taken of the number of duplicate entries, in which the same; ;awl .figured in different accounts, as where an passed for the construe d.= of a partifiar line, and another to authorise SD gumpan7„ to subscribe for a certain • number of shares therein, and to provide a portion of the capital to be raised by the second Bill, and which should therefore have been subtracted from the general amount, to show what really was to be raised. If the parties preparing these specious accounts desired to present a fair and accurate re turn all these elements should have been takeninto the calculation, and a result very different indeed would have appeared from that which has been so prominently put forward. But the object was to excite a panic, and it signified little whether the argument was sound, provided it was plausible, whether it would bear the test of close and accurate investigation, provided it created an alarm in the minds of timid and unreasoning persons, and induced them to sacrifice their property much below its real value— to rush blindfolded into the snares that had been pre pared for their reception. A respected provincial Contemporary, the Leeds Intelligeneer, has rendered good service by its able exposure of the exaggerations to which we have above referred, and by its estimate of the sums that are ac tually and bona fide to be collected, and which must be provided by the shareholders, which amount to less than one-third of that which has been stated. The calculations which we have extracted from the columns of our contemporary will be found in another part of our impression this day. They are worthy of an attentive consideration, and will most probably relieve the minds of many from the vague and unfounded notions under which they laboured, and which, from their very uncertainty, occasioned a greater panic than would have arisen if the very worst anticipations of the croakers had been fully rea lised. The shareholders might exclaim— " Shadows to-night have struck more terror to the soul of Richard Than could the substance of ten thousand soldiers, Armed all in proof, and led by shallow Richmond." The dispersal of the mist by which interested and prejudiced men have obscured their vision will, however, restore their confidence, when they discover the true extent of the difficulty that is to be en countered, and which, though formidable, is by no means insuperable, when the resources and determi nation of Englishmen are taken into consideration. The basis on which our Contemporary has framed this estimate appears to be perfectly correct—an account of all the calls that sin be made upon all shares named in the " London Daily Share List" is taken, assuming that the whole amount thereof must be paid, which amounts in the whole to 62,760,335/. ; to this is added the shares of other companies not quoted in the London market, on which calls may be made, which swell the account to 66,760,3351. ; and in arriving at this result, it is stated " that not a single line likely to make a call is omitted ;" indeed, as the names of the various companies, with the respective amounts to be levied by each are given in eztenso, any possible error may easily be rectified by these who have all the anxiety to mystify matters, and to extend the sum total to the very highest figure, if in their power so to do. From this large amount, however, is to be deducted the sums that might have been raised under defunct schemes, or under projects portions of which have been abandoned and the shares reduced ; also calls to pay off loans, or to purchase completed lines, in which it will be only a transfer from one set of persons to another, these various re ductions amounting in the aggregate to 26,641,0491., will diminish the sum total to be raised in these various undertakings to 4A,111,2361., which is the amount that now resaai,ns to be called up, and which will be spread over m ore than three years, so that on the whole, in place of three and a half millions per month to be provided by the country, the average will not exceed one million per month, the greater portion of which will speedily be come reproductive, and indeed bring some of the large sums already expended into profitable opera tion. This is nothing so very terrible after all, or of such a character as to inflict serious injury upon the community in general. Bat still further reductions might be effected in the amount if due al lowance were made for the'calls to be Made by the old companies to pay up the shares they hold in new lines, and also for the Irish lines, the construction of which will be postponed, or very possibly effected by means of Government assistance, which will, of ud ttispatLeu, "iec weal belleie mete - IS a good time coming, and it will come—let them determine not to sacrifice their pro perty for less than its fair value, but to retain it in their hands until a fair price is offered, and that price will eventually be offered. Above all, let them not encourage the " Bearing " system by sending in their shares to enable those parties to complete their speculative contracts, by which they must become severe losers, if the share holders do not play into their hands, to their own grievous loss, perhaps ultimate ruin. On Monday the 21Sd of October, the National Assembly completed its labours upon the Republican Constitution. France may at length be considered, therefore, to have emerged from the disorder conse quent upon a revolution. A glorious fane has risen " like an exhalation " from the ruins of three succes sive dynasties. The corruption and the deitris of the monarchical system hare been swept away—new and enormous foundations hare peen dug out—the super structure has been reared—and, to complete the great edifice of the Republic, there are nbw only wanting the garniture of the organic laws and the cupola of the Presidency. When that shall have been accomplished the Republican institutions will then in truth be consolidated; Democracy will then in truth be one and indivisible; it will then in truth be in a condition to carry out effectually its beautiful and sublime principles of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Until such time the Government of France must necessarily continue to he of an essentially provi sional character. Until the organic laws shall have been definitively decreed, until the first President shall have been elected and installed in the Republi can palace of the capital, the country must neces sarily continue to be liable to the perils of censpiracy, and the terrors of rebellion. It is for this reason that the ra pid a d vance of the representa tives towards the completion of their vast and momentous labours is a circumstance worthy of eliciting our fullest and most unani mous felicitations. When the sage axiom of Sir JAMES MACEINTOSH, that "Constitutions are not arcade, but grow," is borne in recollection, it must be acknowledged that the National Assembly has evinced anything rather than an undue tardiness in its de. liberations upon the project of the new Constitution. Everything considered, we do think that the Mem bers of the Assembly are entitled to the most unqualified eulogiumi for the rapidity with which they have laboured to secure the weal of 35,000,000 of citizens. Their assiduity has only been equalled by their devotion and while they have studiously economised the public tams, while they have sacrificed all thoughts of personal convenience, while they have had to encounter the most appalling difficulties, from the invasion of the hall of sitting in May to the tremendous insurrection of June, when many of them were struck by th e bullets of the insurgents, while they hare sedu lously avoided everything like idle ceremony or unnecessary procrastination, they have adorned the history of the land of their birth with the solid deeds of patriotism and the luminous glory of oratorical eloquence. In testimony of the one, there are the 118 articles of the Constitution, deliberated, digested, modified, rejected, or d ecree d . In proof of the other, there are the brilliant harangues of the master-orators of the age, some of the finest examples of rhetorical inspiration that have ever been heard in any language, some of the noblest displays of genius and enthusiasm that have ever thrilled through the bosom of a senate or flashed across the imagination of a civilized people. Among these magnificent revelations of oratory, the mind of pos terity will revert in a particular manner to the famous speech of ADOLPH!! Tnaus, in which, in. - - oxicated by the ardour of his logic, the orator almost chaunted the lyrical refrain " Travail ! 71v. sail!" when he pleaded for the independence of in dustry, and reprobated the seductive but pernicious hallucinations of Communism ; it will remember the sonorous voice and impassioned gesticulations of LEDRII RoLtaN, when in one memorable speech he rose almost to the colossal altitude of MIRABEAU it will remember the delicate but earnest grace with which MONTALBMEHZT advocated the rights and pro claimed the perpetuity of Religion in defiance of the sneers of scepticism and the sardonic taunts of infi delity ; it will remember the self-possessed and effec tive declamation of ODILLON BARROT, the meditative and seholarly discourse of VICTOR. HUGO, the abrupt, generous, masculine, and soldier-like harangues of EUGENE CAVAIGNAC ; and beyond all, and above all, it will consecrate with its admiration the various and extraordinary orations pro nounced from the tribune by the lips of ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE, orations which for depth of sentiment, profundity of thought, nobleness of principle, grandeur of style, and poetic beauty of elo quence, are worthy of the genius whose voice had played over " the immense gamut which starts from reverie, to mount to enthusiasm or sink to despair " in that "gigantic evocation of all human miseries," the Yerbu IYOvissima. Such are the recollections which have been already bequeathed to posterity by the National Assembly, recollections which have started into being within a brief interval of six event ful months, extending from the commencement of May to the termination of October. From - the morning on which the Assembly was inaugurated, when the initiative address of the Pro- visional Government was read by the venerable DUPONT (de l'Eure), when BELANGER, the ballad maker, and LACORDAIRE, the Monk, first took their seats in the National Senate, from the morning wile" the nine hundred representatives proclaimedirth . acceptance of the Republic from the esplanade in front of the old Chamber of Deputies, up to the evening on which the last article of the project of the Constitution was decreed, the Members of the National Assembly have fulfilled the duties en trusted to them by the population with a conscientious exactitude worthy of themselves and of their country. The successive Pre sidencies of Bucina, of SENARD, of MARIE, and of MARRAST have been marked by the exertions of an enlightened and patriotic Parliarcent. ARMAND MARRAST has, it is true, been thrice elected to the distinguished dignity which sits at this moment so nobly on his shoulders, and has consequently been afforded a better opportunity of revealing his capa cities than any one of his predecessors, but it is no less true that those predecessors acted throughout with admirable integrity. It was nevertheless a fitting and honourable mark of the national approba tion of his conduct, whether as Mayor of Paris or as President of the Committee of the Constitution, that M. MARRAST should have been thus three times elected to the Presidential Chair of the National Assembly. The doom of France, during the days which pre• ceded the elder Republic, was sealed by the dissolu tion of the Constituent Assembly before the forma tion of the organic laws, and immediately after the completion of the New Constitution. Profiting by the terrible experiences of the past, the National Assembly has wisely come to the determination of not consenting to its prorogation until after the election of the President, and of not agreeing to the sentence of its dissolution until after the organic laws have been inscribed upon the perfected chart of the Con stitution. By these decisions—decisions which were only arrived at on Monday evening —the national representation is meriting well of the country, is affording evidences of substantial patriotism, and is ounsolidatirg in a compact, durable, and gigantic structure the French Republic, One and Indivisible. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The National Assembly on Monday voted the last article of the Constitution, after having rejected the amendment proposed by M. PUYSEGUR by the enor mous majority of 733. The honourable representative found 43 members only who were willing to support his proposition. The Constitution will now be re ferred back to the Committee for revision, and on their presenting their report it will be voted as a whole by the Assembly. The ill success of the amendment of M. PUTSEGUR does not speak much for the strength of the Legiti matist party in the National Assembly. The object of the amendment was to submit the Constitution to tike ludgment of the people at large, which, in the rural districts of the south and west of France, would be tantamount S!..Jihmittine it to the revision or_rathey lons of I itls. The 120th Article as it stood in the original stated that " the provisions of the Articles 30, 39, 29, and 40 of the Constitution shall not commence to be applied until of ter the installation of the President of the Re public." The Committee proposed to substitute for this the following— "lmmediately after the vote of the Constitution, the provisions of chapter 4 shall be applied to the Na tional Assembly. Immediately after the nomination of the President of the Republic, the provisions of chapter i shall be applied to him," The proposition for substituting this article for the original (a proposition of which, it appears, seme of the members of the Committee were ignorant), gave rise to considerable discussion, in the course of which NI. Dureuaz admitted that the new article was proposed with a view to the question of the period when the election of the President took place. He said that if the President were elected before the completion of the Republic he would find himself in a position without example, because, while he was to be elected as a magistrate existing in virtue of a Constitution, and destined to carry out his functions along with a legislative assembly whose powers were regulated as well as his own, the new President would, in the present case, find himself in the presence of a constituent assembly which was absolutely sovereign. It was to remedy this danger that the Committee presented the new version. A long, confused, and agitated discussion ensued, and in the end M. DTI FAURE, having admitted that the adoption of the clause would prejudge the question as to the period of the election of the President, he consented, in the name of the Committee, to withdraw clause 120 altogether. An additional clause was then proposed by M. GLAis-BizoiN, and adopted by the Assembly, to the, effect that immediately after the passing of the Con stitution the Assembly sbzld proceed to the passing of the organic laws. This - closed the discussion on the Constitution. The French journals publish a .11ter from G eneral BARAGUAY D'HILLI ERS , the PresiAnt of the club of the Rue de Poitiers, authoritatively contradicting a statement which appeared in the Demooratie Paci- Axe of Monday, that M. TRIERS had, at the meeting of the club on Saturday, used hostile language to the Republic, and said that it was time for the people to declare themselves in favour of monarchy. The following note has been addressed to the journals by Prince Louis NAPOLEON:- " Persons of good information having informed the representative Louis Napoleon Bonaparte that insen sate people were covertly working to get up a riot in; his name, with the evident object of compromising him in the eyes of the lovers of order and sincere Re publicans, Louis Napoleon has felt himself bound to make these reports known to M. Dufaure, Minister of the Interior, adding that he energetically repelled the idea of his having any participation in plots so completely opposed to his political sentiments, and the conduct he has pursued since the 24th of February." M. VASBENTER, the editor of the Represant du Peuple, was on Monday condemned to one year's im prisonment, and to the payment of a fine of 2,000 journalfrancs, forof the having d that to e th rt e iel n e u calculated excite the hatred of one class of society against lth p A ub u l g is u h st d a l. : another, and to disturb the peace of the Republic. The article purported to be a letter from a prisoner in the Conciergerie, giving an account of the de parture of the first batch of the transports of June. The publication of the journal had been suspended by order of General CA VAIGNAC immediately after the publication of this article. Several of the Prefects in the departments have re signed in consequence of the appointment of M. Du- FAURE as NI inister of the Interior. M. GUIAaD, the Pre -1 fect of Allier and of Aveyron, in addressing his letter of resignation to M. DurAuaa, says, "It would be superlatively ridiculous in an old and firm Republican like myself to consent to remain under the order of such an old and firm Royalist as you are." Forty-five pieces of heavy artillery were on Mon day sent to the detached fort of Mont Valerian, which has now 100 pieces of cannon mounted. The other detached forts are also armed, and Paris is garrisoned by at least 50,000 troops of the line, besides National Guards And Garden Mobiles. The Club of the Rue de Poitiers met on Monday evening, and resolved not to bring forward any candidate for the Presidency of the Republic, and to accept any day that the Government might choose to appoint for the election, only insisting that the Na tional Assembly shall not be prorogued until after the election. In its sitting of yesterday the Assembly rejected a motion for adding an increase of 6,000 f. a month to the salary of its President, The Bill fixing the day for the election of the President had not been presented to the Assembly at the hour the post left, and it was said that M. PAO NERRE would propose to postpone the election until after the passing oF the organic laws. PARIS BCURSE—TUESDAY, OCT. 24.

The return of the Duke' and Ducheis DE MONTPEN SUR to Madrid is daily expected., They will be loCated in the Palace of San Juan, on the Retiro, late the residence of Don FRANCISCO. DI PAULA. The Duchess, following the example of her worthy father King FERDINAND VII. of blessed memory, has been embroidering a petticoat for the Virgin MART, which petticoat was, at the commencement of the present month, carried in grand procession by a general officer, attended by a royal guard of honour, to the cathedral of Seville, where it was received by the ecclesiastics in all due form, who immediately proceeded to attire the image of the Virgin in the royal gift. It does not appear that the Duke joined in the procession. The civil war continues in Catalonia and Arragon, and the cruelties committed by VILLALONGA have, as might naturally have been expected, excited reprisals on the part of CABRERA. VILLALONGA recently shot nineteen Carlists, whereupon CABRERA, by way of reprisals, shut twenty of the QUEEN'S officers whom he had taken. VILLALONGA caused five Carlists to be shot at Liria, whereupon a Carlist corps entered Benaguacil and seized five soldiers and shot them.

The accounts from Vienns go only to the evening of the 18th, and are of a very contradictory character . - In the sitting of the 18th SCHUSELKA announced that, according to the advices received, the Hunga rians had recrossed the frontier, and that M. PIILSKY, the Secretary of the Hungarian Ministry, had advised the permanent commission to address itself to the Central Power to obtain its mediation. He further reported that the city was prepared for an attack, from whatever side it might come.

The abolition of the taxes imposed on the soil, such as the statute labour and tithes, promised by the law already published, is assured to you ; and 1 hereby reiterate my Imperial word, which has been verbally given you several times during my journey. It is my firm resolve to guarantee your liberties. Do not disquiet yourselves, my faithful peasantry ; and if there are men who seek to render the words of your Emperor suspected in your eyes, consider them traitors to me and your best interests, and conduct yourselves accordingly. " FERDINAND. " WESSENBEIG." (Countersigned) " Oct. 1.5." The Commander of the National Guards of Vienna having addressed a letter to AUERSPERG and JELLA calcu, exhorting them to retire from before Vienna, received the following answer from AUERSPERG : " Head-quarters, Anzersdorf Oct. 17. " In reply to the honoured communication of the 26th, of the Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard, I hasten to make the following statement : In the first instance, you will be pleased to bear in mind that the present very lamentable state of things was in no wise called forth by the royal military or their leaders, but this was done by the inhabitants of Vienna, and especially by a portion of the National Guards, which attacked us sword in hand, and thereby caused the sad catastrophe of the 6th of October, in consequence of which, and to avoid the further effu sion of blood, I deemed it necessary to concentrate my troops between the Schwarzenberg summer palace and the Belvidere, in a position inaccessible to the public. I should have maintained this position longer but for the difficulties raised by the inhabi tants of Vienna against the maintenance of my 1 troops, and their manifold . attempts to wake them unfaithful to their duty, and which, from their proximity, I could not entirely obviate, and which was so odious to the troops that it led to the most lamentable acts of violence towards the persons who attempted to seduce them, that I resolved to take up a secure position in the environs of Vienna, but not in a hostile attitude. Afterwards the Imperial arsenal (although it was placed' under the protection of the National Guard) ' was plundered, and the people of the lowest order armed, and even a call it.sued by the city for a general levy of the landsturm. I am thereby induced to maintain increased vigi lance ; for, under su c h c i rcums t ances , it i s i m p oss ibl e to infer that the efficiency of the authorities, in which I might have confidence, can act legally and inde pendently under the menacing inguence of an armed . protettorial. " Under this extraordinary state of things, in which the ruling authority of the State is a responsible Ministry in name only—but where there is no Ministry of War whatever—l cannot do otherwise than in a defensive position await the supreme corn. mand of his Majesty, which I am daily expecting. (Signed) ‘‘ AIIESSTERG." When the last accounts left Vienna, the thunder of cannon was heard in the distance. This, it was said, proceeded from the Hungarian army, which had ad vanced to Schroechard, two leagues from Vienna, for the purpose of attacking JELLACHICH, whose head quarters are at Luxemburg. The Breslau Gazette, of the 19th of Oct., says :-- "Travellers who have arrived here to-day assert that a skirmish took place at eight o'clock on the morning of the 18th, on occasion of the occupation of the Belvidere, between the National Guards and the troops of the line. The Croats bombarded the city for above an hour. From the IVienerberg they met with a brisk reply, and then all was quiet. Great enthusiasm continues to prevail at Vienna, although there is a fearful accumulation of troops. Wi n . dischgratz is at Olmutz with the Emperor. The French and English ambassadors have, it is said, succeeded in bringing him to an amicable dispo. sition." WINDISCHGRATZ had not arrived before Vienna on ,he evening of the 18th. BAVARIA. We have received the following account of the beer riots at Munich:— "On the morning of the 18th the disturbances, which had commenced on the previous day, were re newed, and a mob, the greater part of which consisted of soldiers, went round to the different beer-houses, smashing the tables and f u r n it u re where they were not given beer at the usual price. Some bakers' and grocers' shops were plundered. At the Pschorr Keller, a large beer-brewery, the waiters defended themselves, and three of the mob were killed. The mob stormed the house, however, and threw every thing out of the windows—beds, furniture, clothes, and locking-glasses--which the people below de stroyed or carried off. The military at length mac'# its appearance, and some thirty of the most conspi cuous of the rioters were arrested. A few barricades were erected. Further riots were feared, but they have no political character whatever. A courier was sent to the King, who was absent, to inform him of what was going on." PRUSSI A. Those who fell in the cause of order during the emeute at Berlin on the 16th inst., between the Burgher Guard and the workmen employed on the canal, were solemnly interred on the morning of the 20th. In the afternoon the democrats got up a grand cortege for the funeral of the nine workmen. All passed off quietly. In reply to a question in the Assembly as to when the siege would be taken off Posen, the Minister said that until the return of the Commissioner it was im possible to do so. FRANKFORT. Letters from Frankfort of the 21st announce that the state of siege under which the town has been placed since the emeute of September was raised on the 20th inst. ITALY. RUMOURED INSURRECTION IN MILAN. The Constituzionale Sub,lpino of the 20th states that a courier had arrived at Alessandria on the 19th, from Milan, bringing intelligence that an insurrection had broken out at Milan on the 18th, occasioned by the tyranny of RADETZILY, who, alarmed at the differ- ences which had broken out in his army between the Hungarians and Croats, and fearing lest the former should juin the Italians, had undermined several of the finest palaces, and declared his determination to blow them up in the event of an imeute. He was preparing to undermine the Cathedral, which so excited the Milanese that they became furious, and exclaimed against the workmen and the soldiers who wished to defend them ; words led to blows, and the soldiers were massacred. The town flew to arms. At the last moment the tocsin was sounding, and the con fusion was indescribable. The Austrians have, it is said, evacuated Rovigo. The Milan Gazette of Oct. 18 publishes the text of the capitulation of the fortress of Osopo, signed by the Commander of the besieging troops and the Governor of the fortress. The Opinion of Turin publishes the folio wing order of the day by Marshal RADETZKY, dated head quarters at Milan, October 12 : " Soldiers ! or rather, my children ! for you have often called me your father, scenes of blood have been passing at Vienna. They have for their origin the discord which divides our beloved country. The Mi nister of War, Count Latour, General of Artillery, our old and brave comrade, has been murdered by a band of people in a mad fury, hut the Emperor and his family are enjoying a satisfactory state of health, surrounded by faithful troops. Soldiers! Do not suffer yourselves to be misled by false and lying reports. Con tinue steadily to follow the pathyou have hitherto fol lowed. I will never conceal the truth from you. Be firm in your fidelity to the Emperor, and in your love to the country which is equally dear to us ull. Reject with indignation whoever may attempt to make you violate your oaths, you, the conquerors in so many battles. Your brilliant deeds have filled the whole world with admiration. Kings and people have ad dressed to me written testimonials of this. I have made myself the guarantee of your fidelity and your valour, and I feel that you will never belie me. Com panions in arms of my old age 1 We live in times of difficulty, but the throne of the Emperor and our country shall only gather from them the greater glory. Never forget that we are children alone of the same fatherland, and that they are seditious men alone who wish to break the bonds which have united us for ages. My confidence in you is full and com plete. I remain at your head calmly waiting for the future, for we have not yet forgotten how to wage war and gain battles. Long live the Emperor! Our country for ever. " RADETSNY, Field-Marshal." The Barsenhalle of the 20th says, there is a report that peace between Austria and Sardinia is nearly lAJC , Al nua • ilaVe EMPEROR. _ It appears from explanations given by the Minis- ter of the Interior, in the Chamber of Deputies, at Turin, on the ath instant, that the bases of the negotiations proposed by England and France have not been accepted by Austria, and that after two months of diplomatic discussions, they have not agreed even on the place where the Congress shall be held ; that the armistice is only prolonged from week to week ; and that if the mediation is unsuc cessful, the Governuaent is prepared to renew hos tilities, choosing, however, its own time and oppor tunity. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. We have received advices from the Cape of Good Hope to the 9th September, and accounts from Sir Harry Smith's quarters, six miles northreast of Bethamy, dated August 31, stating that, on t6.29th, Sir Harry Smith encountered the rebel Boers, who were strongly posted at a place called Borm Plus, and after a sharp contest of three hours defeated and drove them before him with great loss. Sir Harry Smith was wounded in the knee, and his horse killed under him. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY. A very moderate supply of English Wheat has been received up to our market this week, and the stands were scantily supplied with samples of both red and white. Selected qualities commanded a steady sale, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday. The middling and inferior kinds were a slow inquiry, at late rates. Only 3,720 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in. This morning the show of samples was good; nevertheless most descriptions moved off steadily, and the quotations were well supported in every instance. We had a better demand for nearly all kinds of Barley, especially for malting parcels; but we have no actual improvement to notice in ♦alue. In Malt a fair average amount of business was doing at full prices. Good ' sound Oats were quite as dear. Other parcels were neglected. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Meal were dull in sale.

In the Liverpool Cotton Aiarket yesterday the sales were 3,000 bales at steady prices. The Railway Share Market was not quite so much depressed, although business was dull. The Trent steamer, with the West India mail has ❑ot yet arrived at Southampton, as was frrquently re ported yesterday, but was at Ilavannah on the 30th ult., and is, on account of her detention, not considered to be overdue. The following, respecting the British American fisheries, has reached us from Nova Scotia, and is cheering : "We are glad to learn from the columns of the United Service Gazette, that the importance of these vast and important sources of wealth has not escaped the vigilant observation of the present noble and gallant naval Commander-in Chief on this station. The Earl of Dundonald has, it appears, made a strung appeal to the powers that be, at home, relative to the American fishermen exercising their calling in the proscribed waters of our flaking grounds. Coming from such a quarter, we may reasonably expect it to have the desired effect, and with a spirited co-operation from those who are most deeply interested, the people of these provinces, we will once again be put in possession of our inalienable rights. Decisive and stringent measures on the coast, coupled with a good inspective law, would speedily restore our lost vantage ground, and open up to our own people the finest market in the world fur pickled fish, the United States. Our fishermen must take heart, day is about dawning upon them. Once rouse Jonathan off our grounds, and confine him to his own localities, and the fishermen of Nova Scotia will have the supplying of all the market 4 from Maine to Florida. We can easily do this; for under the present circumstances, we can build and fit out our vessels for the fisheries at little more than one-half the cost of the Americans." We cannot but join in the hope that our Government will look to this matter, and especially as the colonists, with becoming spirit, express their ability to compete with the Americans. Nova Scotia has suffered like New Brunswick, most severely from the dullness of the times, and needs any fair support, quite irrespective of bolstering protection, that can be afforded. In Mark-lane to-day Corn is firm, the arrivals being short. The important public sales of Indigo having been brought to a termination, we have been favoured with a summary thereof, from which we take the following:— " The sale has gone off with considerable spirit, at, an improvement upon July prices, evidencing the fa vourable position this article would have attained but for the unfortunate state of affairs on the Continent of Europe, where two thirds of the quantity delivered are usually sent. Yet, under all circumstances, the orders on foreign account have been more numerous than was expected, and the chief advance obtained has been for Indigo suitable for, these markets, particularly or Russia; the home buyers have also bought freely, at an advance upon previous rates; about the sixth day, competition somewhat abated, and prices for the finer qualities went rather easier, which continued with but little exception to the end. The quantity withdrawn during the sale has been comparatively small, and importers required to give but little sup port ; the few good and fine Madras offered, realised a considerable advance; but for the ordinary descriptions the demand was limited. Kurpah, of good quality sold well. Compared with July the advance is 4d. per lb. on good and fine shipping sorts, 2d. to 3d. on ord. and defective, and 4d. _to 6d. per lb. on good and fine Madras." The remarks which have appeared in The Sum for some days past upon the subk•et of railway gambling have elicited approbation in all impartial circles, and although it is quite true, as stated in a latter inserted yesterday, that there are great difficulties in the way of effecting prompt transfers, the buyers and sellers, re siding often at a distance, it is felt that by a little exer tion they might be " smoothed" materially. The Com mittee of the Stock Exchange and the companies could do much towards such a desirable object. We hear that North-Western Stock is scarcer to-day. The Money Market is looking better to-day,and there is some reaction upon the heavy tone of feeling lately existing, and induced as much by speculation as by bona fide causes. The clear, bright weather generally has an effect in the Stock Exchange after a heavy fall in prices, but the aspect of conti nental affairs, being more satisfactory and pacific, exercises most influence on the market. As to the statements that there is ground to apprehend the expor tation of bullion to same extent in payment of foreign grain, no great importance is due thereto, although the imports have recently been rather heavy. Consols opened at 844 and have since been done at 85 for " time," and 85i for present • transfer. There have been several money purchases, and the discretion of the public who intend to invest is wisely exercised in buying when prices rule low. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 84i to 844 and the Three per Cents. 834 to 84. Bank Stock has toucned 115 and 116. Exchequer-bills have been 395. to 425. premiam for those of March being about 2s. higher. India Stock has been marked 234 to 235. In the Foreign Market there is very little doing, but Mexican Stock has been quoted higher, viz., 194 to 194; Spanish Five per Cents. have been 104 to 101; Brazil Bonds have been marked 704 to 71 ; Dutch Two-aad-a- Half per Cents. have been 44i. The Railway Share Market looks somewhat healthier, and the 'potations have improved in a few inst.oco..
