:farb ;:71)(itton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. AUSTRIA. The Wiener Zeilung of the 16th contains the re port of the Finance Minister, Baron Krauss, to the Emperor. Baron Krauss represents the urgent necessity for introducing order as well into the cur rency as into the administration of the public revenue. To effect the first, the great aim must be to improve the position of the bank, and to regulate its relations with the state. The first prepa ratory step taken towards restoring the credit of the bank was, his Majesty's edict to the effect that its credit should no longer be em ployed to provide for the necessities of the state by a further emission of bank notes and the second must be an arrangement as to the entire claim of the bank upon the State, the fixation of the rate of interest of that debt, and the gradual funding and sinking of the same. The Minister of Finance is of opinion that under the new order of things the bank will find it requisite to increase its capital, and that this should be effected by a gradual issue of the bank shares which have until now ben kept out of the market. As to the necessities of the State, it will be necessary to economize by diminishing the expenses of the army, although even when this is effected the deficit for the coming year will be great, as there will be the outlay for the introduc tion of the new judicial system, and for the indem nification of stat u t e d u ty an d ti t h es . T o this must be added, the sums requisite for the con tinuation of the railroads already commenced, for the telegraphic lines, and for restoring some degree of order in the unfortunate Crown lands of - Hungary and Transylvania. The Minister then proposes-1. To pay over the Sardinian indem nification money to the Bank, which will put it in possession of about 25,000,000 florins in hard cash. 2. A loan, the terms of which will be separately submitted to his Majesty. 3. New taxes, by the introduction of which Baron Krauss hopes that the receipts of the year 1850 will be from 45,000,000 to 50,000,000 greater than they were in 1847. In con clusion, he makes a proposal to issue, for the present, National Treasury-bills instead of Exchequer bills. LOUIS KOSSUTH. The following is the description given of Kossuth by the Austrian authorities in their warrant offering a reward for his apprehension : "Louis Kossuth, an ex-advocate, journalist, Minister of Finance, President of the Committee of Defence, Governor of the Hungarian 11-public, aged 45 years, born at Jass Bereny in Hungary, C at h o li c, an d married. He is of middle height, strong, thin, the face oval, complexion pale, the forehead high and open, hair chestnut, eyes blue, eyesbrows dark and very thick, nose thin, mouth small and well-formed, teeth fine, chin round. He wears a moustache and imperial, and his curled hair does not entirely cover the upper part of the head. He has a white and delicate hand, the fingers long. He speaks German, Hungarian, Latin, Slovack, a little French and Italian. his bearing when calm is solemiy; full of a certain dignit y , his movements elegant, his voice agreeable; softly penetrating and very distinct, even when he speaks low. He produces in general the effect of an enthusiast; his looks, often fixed on the heavens, and the expression of his ey?s, which are fine, contribute to give him the air of a dreamer. His exterior does not announce the energy of his character." Madame Kossuth is thus de. cribed ARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Sept. 21.) SUGAR.--To-day full rates were obtained fur all sorts of West India, and a fair bnsiness was concluded in both grocery and refining kinds. At public sale 120 hhds Barbadoes realized 38s 6d to 40s for mid to fine yellow. The purchases amounted to 410, making for the week 2,890 hhds, &c.

REFINED.-To-day there was an improved demand for Refined goods for home trade purposes, and prices were firm; brown lumps 48s and fair grocery 48s 64 to 495. In the value of Bonded Crushed there is no variation and little business was done. MAURITIUS.-This afternoon Mauritius sugar was in steady request, and a public sale of 1,197 bags and 365 casks went at full terms; low and mid brown at 29s to 33s 6d, goad and fine 34s to 365, fine yellow 39s 6d to 40s, and ord to good 36s to 38s per cwt.

MOLASSES. -The market is firm for West India, and sales to a fair extent have been made at 15s 6d to 18s for low to fine. There is a less amount on offer than in the former week. The value of East India Treacle is 15s to 15s 6d, with a firm market, and a more active demand has been t xperienced. COCOA.-West India is not offered at any further re duction. At public sale 41 barrels 526 bags Trinidad, 61 bags St. Lucia, and 22 barrels Dominica have been offered, but nearly the whole was withdrawn, and the market has a dull aspect, whilst further parcels have been imported. There are few buyers of Foreign, and sellers are readyto accept 25s to 28s per cwt according to quality. TEA.-The operations here this week have been al most cenfined to the public sales which have consisted of 35,000 pkgs, of this quantity about 11,000 comprised green Tea. The lower qualities of Congou went off, briskly, and at stiffer rates-common realized 9d to 91d, medium kinds 10d to is 3d, and Com pany's 81d to Bid, but good and fine sorts meet with little attention, and were nearly all taken in at the previous currency. For young Hyson and Gun powder a good demand was experienced, still holders are compelled to take former prices. The lower sorts of Imperial from is to is 3d have been largely dealt in, but better sorts met a dull sale. Ilyton attracted little at tention, and the small part sold barely realised former terms. The market for other sorts of Green Tea has also presented a flat appearance, and the tendency of prices is to recede. COFFEE -This afternoon a fair business was con cluded in Native Ceylon Coffee by private treaty at 39: 6d to to 40s per cwt. Of Plantation 159 casks 676 bags were offered at public sale. and sold at full rates; fine went at 66e, low middling and middling 53s to 583 6d, and other sorts 41s to 52s per cwt.

Duman, SEPT. 20.—Yesterday the half• yearly meeting of this company was held in the Board-room, at the King's -bridge Terminus. Mr. Edward AlDon nell, chairman of the company, presided. The SECRETARY read the report for the half-year ending the 30th of June, in which the directors, after expressing their regret at the death of their late re spected chairman, Mr. Carr, announced that the works were so far advanced that the line would be opened to Blackpool, in the suburbs of the city of Cork, early in October, and that they bad given the necessary notice thereof to the Railway Commissioners for their inspection. The report then proceeds :—" The de pressed state of the country has rendered it inexpe dient to proceed with the other branches. From these statements it will appear that the actual cost of constructing the main line, exclusive of 146,0001. in terest paid to proprietors and debenture-holders, will be 15,4C01. per mile, and including the purchase of the rolling stock, interest, and every expense which can be fairly put to the debit of capital, will he about 17,800/. per mile. This sum, although exceeding former estimates, cannot be deemed extravagant. This excess has been chiefly caused by the high price exacted for land, and by the advance in price which took place in 1845 and 1846 in every material re quired for the construction of the railway. It must be satisfactory to know that for this sum all the works, including stations and warehouses, have been con structed in the most substantial manner, and a suffi cient stock provided for working the entire line to Cork. Several branch lines were subscribed to under the authority of Parliament, and by votes of the pro prietors in the years 1845 and 1846, in the belief that they would prove valuable feeders to the main trunk ; but, in consequence of the calamitous state of the country, it was not found expedient to proceed with any except the Irish South-Eastern Railway, from Carlow to Kilkenny; and the proprietary of that company has been so diminished by insolvency and forfeiture of shares, that the directors found it neces sary to obtain an Act of Parliament to reconstruct the company, and limit the works within the powers of the remaining solvent proprietary. As ten miles of the railway have been already opened, and only 11 miles more are required to complete the communica tion with Kilkenny and with Thomastown, near Waterford, your directors deem it prudent not to oppose that measure, and they now call upon you for a vote for 40,0001. to enable them to perfect this company's subscription to that undertaking. The effect of this new Act will be to abandon the con struction of the line from Carlow to Wexford, and to reduce your subscription to the Irish South-Eastern Rail way Company to 90,000/. from 150,0001., the amount contemplated by the former Acts. In consequence of the number of shares for feited in that company, it is estimated, from the contracts already taken, that the cost of constructing a single line from Carlow to Kilkenny (21 miles) will not exceed 8,000/. a mile to the present proprie tors, and that the line when completed will, in ad dition to its own earnings, bring a considerable in crease of traffic over the main line. The directors had hoped that their subscriptions to the branch lines could have been defrayed, and the extension to the River Lee completed, with the capital of 3,333,000/., which they were authorised to raise for the construc tion of the works to Cork, but this has been found impracticable, for the reasons already mentioned; and they are obliged to apply to OA , proprietors for a creation of further capital of 300,000/., authorised by the several Acts of Parliament,. to cover all the com pany's engagements and liabilities. They do not, however, contemplate calling up the chief portion of this increased capital for a considerable time, but they deem it essential to the safety and credit of the company to make provision for every contingency. The annexed statement will show the traffic receipts and working expenses for the past half-yar, subject to the result of the settlement with the Post-office, for the conveyance of mails, now in the course of arbitra tion. The receipts have not increased in proportion to the last 38 miles opened. Such increase could not o a v n e r extension on owhichgoods t o o r u c e he e t s t i e o r havei n o i ye - t have been exp ec t e d during the depressed state of the p country, o rtaut f town,rom been carried towards Cork (which is the natural di rection of th at traffic), and over which only three through passen ger t ra i ns run daily. The directors have also observed that the third-class carriages, at the low rate of three farthings per mile, intended for the accommodation of the poorer classes, continue to be extensively used by the middle and upper classes of travellers. This has, in their opinion, made it neces sary to have a more marked distinction made between the first and second class quick trains, and the third class or Parliamentary train." After stating that the working expenses of the line had been very moderate, the report thus concludes : —" The directors, ever unwilling to hold out delu sive expectations respecting this undertaking, have KIRB Y 111 A LZ EA RD INSTITUTE deemed it th e i r d u t y f rom t i me to time, in the midst of general d es p on d ency, to express their confidence MOVEMENT.

I immediately sat down to write to the director of the Chateau d• Fleurs, in order to re lieve the anxiety of my wife, friends, and the Marseilles public who might be interested about me. I then repaired to M. Bois le Comte, the French Am bassador, who gave me a passport. At eleven, the same morning, I attended the church of la Madre di Dio, where a funeral service was performed in honour of Charles Albert's death. This ceremony was fol lowed by a review of the National Guard. In the evening I went to the Theatre d'Angennes, where Sigler played Louis XI.

Arban the aeronaut, ascended in his balloon from the Chateau de Pleura (the Vauxhall of this place) at half-past six in the evening of the 2d instant, and alighted at the village of Pion Forte, near Turin, the following morning, at half-past two, having accomplished the distance, about 400 miles, in eight hours. The particulars of this voyage are related by M. Arban himself, in one of our morning papers, as follows :-- "I ascended from the Chateau de Fleurs on Sunday evening, the 2d instant, at half-past six. At eight I was over the Wood of Esteret, where I ascertained I was at a height of 4,000 metres. The temperature of the air was cold, but dry; my centigrade thermo meter marked four degrees below zero. The wind was south. west, and sent me over Nice. For nearly two hours, surrounded by very dense clouds, my cloak no longer sufficed to keep me warm ; I suffered much from cold feet. I, nevertheless, determined to proceed, and to traverse the Alps, from which I knew I was not far distant. "My provision of ballast was enough to raise me above the highest peaks. The cold gradually in creased, the wind became steady, and the moon lighted me like the sun (comme le soled en:* pleinjour). I was at the ;,foot of tne Alps; the snows, cascades, rivers, all were sparkling : the ravines and rocks pro duced masses of darkness, which served as shadows to the gigantic picture. _ " The wind now interrupted the regularity of my course. I was occasionally obliged to ascend, in order e horizon became thinkb c a m o e f clear, to pass over the p ea ks. I reached the summ i t o f t h e Alps at and atelev m e y n o'clock,oourae regular, and as the bg h a o n r i to on supping. " I was now at an e l evat i on o f 4 , 600 metres. It was indispensably necessary f or me to pursue my journey and r eac h Pi e d mont. Ch aos only was under me, and to alight in these regions was impossible. After supper, I threw my empty bottle into the snow beneath, where possibly some adventurous traveller vi ill one day find it, and be led to conclude that an • other before him had explored the same desert regions. At half-past one in the morning I was over Mount Misso, which I knew, having explored it in my first journey to Piedmont. There the Du• ranee and the Po take their source. I reconnoitred the position, and discovered the mag nificent plains of the mountain.:Before this certainty, a singular optical delusion, occasioned by the shining of the moon upon the snow, was like to make me think myself over thr open sea. But as the south west wind had not ceased to blow, I was convinced by this fact, as well as by others I had noticed, that I could not be over the sea. The stars confirmed the accuracy of my compass, and the appearance of Mont Blanc satisfied me that I must be approaching Turin. Mont Blanc to my left, on a level with the spot in which I was, being far ab ove t h e clouds, resembled an immense block of crystal sparkling with a thou sand fires. " At a quarter to three Mount Viso, which was behind me, proved to me that I was in the neigh bourhood of Turin. I determined to alight, which I did without any difficulty, having ballast enough to go much further. I alighted near a large farmyard, where I was surrounded by several watch dogs, from whose caresses I was protected by my cloak. Their barking awakened the peasants, who were more surprised than frightened at seeing me. They admitted me to their house, informed me that it was half past two, and that I was in the village of Pion Forte, near Stubini, six kilometres from Turin. :I passed the remainder of the night at the farm house, and in the morning the peasants accompanie( me to the mayor, who delivered me a certificate, at testing my arrival, &c.

Foreign officers, of whatever rank they held in the Pontificsl army, are not to be re-admitted to the service, unless they have resided three years in the state. Those officers who have re ceived employments at the hands of Cardinal Amat, and Generals Durrando, Zucchi, Ferrari, and Pepe are also excluded, their right being, however, sub mitted to examination. The discipline of the French soldiers is excellent; they sleep in the open air without a murmur. At the hour of their repasts the barracks are besieged with poor, with whom the French willingly share their rations. The deputy of Imola, M. Faella, has been arrested ; the reason of his arrest is not known. The Veteran° of Naples publishes the speech of his Holiness addressed to the clergy in the Archbishop's pal-ice at Naples, previous to his imparting his bene diction to that body : " On the 26th of November of last year I fixed my abode in company with the most pious of Sovereigns and his uugu:t spouse, on a rock which still preserves the pious traditon of the miracles that took place at the moment when Jet•us Christ expired on 'Golgotha, thus destroying by his m ,st precious blood the sen tence of our eternal condemnation ; on that day, pros trated before an image of the crucifix, nay more, berore the most august sacrament, I prayed that peace might be granted to the s , vereign who accompanied me, and I also implored a hissing up , n you, my beloved children, of every order. Ith nirrasEu• conscious of the decrees of Providence whirls were to be accomplished upon me; I did not know that I should come in per. son among you, and again shed my blessing upon you. I therefore implore this :benediction upon you, and especi:lly upon the younger members of the clergy, that you, my beloved children, may know the duties of your station. The people who, more than ever in volved in darkness which is beco.eing more dense from day to day. r, vire a light to guide- then' in order to perceive the snares laid for them every instant, and to see in you their guide; be )ou indeed their guide by your example, your words, and your charity. My beloved children, study carefully the dangers annexed to yer,,r state in order to avoid them ; and you will learn to study and avoid them, if you attend to all that is so often repeated to ycu in the place of your ecclesiastical education. A blessing, then, upon your souls, which, created aster the image of God, wid be, I trust, the copy of the divine original, Jesus Christ. Blessed be your studies, your prayers, all your actions. With this inten tim, then, I give you the Pontifical benediction, and do you receive it prostrate." BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

The dejeuner will take place at two o'clock, pre cisely, at Mr. Henry Milner's; the Queen Hotel, High Harrogate; and the soiree, at seven o'clock in the evening, at the same place. The morning enter tainment, there can be little doubt, will be of the most sumptuous and elegant description, while the more refined pleasures inseparable from the intellec tual portion of both dejeuner and soirée, there is little fear, will be of the highest possible order. Delegates from all the Institutions in the Sub- Union will attend, as well as from many others not specified in the district which it includes. We are glad to know that the East and West Yorkshire Railway Company have expressed their intention of issuing day tickets, at a very low fare, and which will he availabl e th e following morning. The Leeds and Thirsk line, we are induced to think, may, like wise, be led to do so. We wish the North-West Sub-Union every success, and trust the friends of education and progress will not fail to rally round its standard on this most inviting and auspicious occa sion. We are glad to find that, through the politeness and consideration of Mr. E. Baines, the President of the Yorkshire:Union, the central and special committees, which it was intended should meet in Leeds this day, will assemble at Harrogate, at twelve o'clock, on the morning of the above day. The North-West Union committee will meet an hour earlier on the same day.—Harrogate Advertiser. full and perfect operation IsB miles of railway be tween Dublin and Cork, thus connecting the two principal citif sin the kingdom within a few hours' travelling.--(Cheers.) He referred to the cost of construction, which was perhaps sernething higher than the original estimate, and attributed the increase of expenditure in that regard to the enormous cost of land, and stated that the very lantled proprietors whose properties were most served by the company , were amongst those who had made the most exor bitant demands.-IHear, hear.) In more than one cafe in the Queen's County they were made to pay double and triple the amount of the value of land through which the railway ran, and he was of opinion that unless the Government by some enactment would take steps to protect railway property in that re spect, the system of exorbitant charges for land would cripple, if not totally destroy railway speculation in Ireland —(hear, bear.) The management of the railway had been singularly felicitous, and the best proof he could adduce in that respect was, that during the half year there was not only no accident, but there was no instance in which the persons of passengers or property of the company in engines and carriages had been endan gered from one end to the other of the line.—(Cheers.) Before he concluded he would take the liberty of offering his advice to the shareholders, and particularly to his English friends, not to sacrifice their shares. Englishmen had tried their capital in every country in the w( rld before they made a trial of Ireland, and now having come amongst us to invest their capital with a liberal hand, he hoped none of them would be inducel to dispose of the shares they held without giving the Irish undertaking a fair trial.--(Hear.) The motion for the adoption of the reports having been unanimously carried, th e meeting was then made special for the purpose of authorizing the direc tors to Jesse the Irish South Eastern Railway, a line projected from Carlow to Kilk enny, a d i stance of 21 miles, half of which is open for traffic, and to empower the directors to raise a capital of 312,0001. on 50,000 new shares of 61. 55. each. It was proposed that a deposit of 11. 53. per share s h ou ld b e paid in January next, and the remainder w ou ld b e called in by instal ments, over a period of three years, but that the only call in 1850 would be th e d epos i t of 255. in January. lt was further provided that the deposits and calls on those new shares should bear interest at 6 per cent. to the holders, and that when fully paid up, the holder of eight shares should have all the privileges of proprie torship, in common with the holder of an original share. The necessity for raising this new capital arose from the relations in which the Great Southern and Western Company was involved with the South- Eastern, inasmuch as they had subscribed for 90,0001. to the capital of the latter, which at its foundation had 50,000 shares, and that number was now reduced to 18,000. The directors advised that that company should be reconstructed, and with that view they called upon the shareholders to authorise them to lease the South - Eastern Railway for four years, at 4 per cent., in order to make the capital invested in that company available to profits. A resolution to that effect having been moved, seconded, and unanimously adopted, and thanks voted to the Chairman, the meeting dissolved. Mr. NORMAN was then called upon to address the meeting, and pointed out to them the necessity for acting out Mr. Banks' pointed and wholesome truths. He trusted they would begin afresh from that night, and extend their influence in every possible direction. The institution would confer great blessings upon them and the neighbourhood, if properly supported, as it ought to be, and as he hoped_ in future it might be. A number of new members joined the institution at the close of the addresses, and a majolity of the members present pledged themselves to become constant and willing labourers in the mental field. A good spirit pervaded the meeting, and there is little doubt left a good impression upon the minds of the audience. The handsome gift of Lord Vis count Goderich, who recently presented a hundred volumes to the library of this institution, was a noble act, and well worthy of imitation.—llarrop;ate Ad vertiser.

Tip: re were numerous indictments against the prisoner, and the only one taken was for obtaining a quantity of knives from Mr. Dobby. a cutler, living at 95, is the Strand. it ap peared that on the sth of June the prisoner called at the shop of the prosecutor, and ordered a quantity of knives to be sent to her residence, 39, Brotnpton-crescent, which were sent on the following morning. The, door was then answered by a man dressed in a striped j whet, who iictud, to all appearance, as butler. He took the goods in, stating this; he could not call his mistress then, as she was engaged in her dressing_room. Tire prisoner, how ever, substquently came down, and having looked at the knives, said she did not think they were good eneugh, and should have to show them to her husband before she could give an answer, and in consequence of this and the respectable appearance of the place, the things were left. A person who represented herself as cook to the pri soner, wanted to eet some more things, which, however, they did not feel inclined to part with, and upon their going on the following day for the money or the goods, the y found the house shut up, and all parties run away, after taking in numerous tradespeople in the neigh. bourhond. Mr. O'BRIEN cc•ntended that the affair war merely one of debt, and that trtdesinen were then.: elves to blame, being so eager to do business that they did not make sufficiently strict inquiries. 'the jury found her guilty. The RECORDER, after referring to the recent Act of _ the 12th arid 13 h Viet., c. 11, said that the Legislature had sufficiently tied up the hands of the Court in their e. powers of sentencing prrsons convicted of larceny by swindling. This was one of the first samples or the effects of the new law, for now, unless a person guilty of swindling was convic•ed of obtaining got by false pretences, the Court had not the power to transport. The Learned Recorder then sent,. need the prisoner to two • years' imprisonment and hard labour, observing that, • had the law allowed him the power to transport, he should have tried the other cases and transported her, which would be the proper sentence for swindlers. The other cases disposed of during the day were wholly devoid of interest. .AILWAY 811ARIt. , ] ALA iiKETS.
