The public will be gratified to learn from the following official communication from the Admiralty, that there is at last some glimmering of hope as to the safety of the adventurous leaders of the Arctic Expedition. And, although the intelligence brought to England by the True love is unfortunately very far from being conclusive, Tve do not hesitate to offer our cordial felicitations to Lady FRANKLIN, and to all thaw wilo3e relatives de- a lot ruLav haw. AI ca,fi n a tilpin lay before our readers the accounts this day trans. 'flitted to ourselves by the Secretary of the Ad. wiralty : "Admiralty, Oct. 4, 11148. "The Secretary of the Admiralty presents his com pliments to the editor of The Sun, and requests the prominent insertion of the enclosed notice in this evening s paper : " From communications made this day to the Lords of the Admiralty by the editor of the Shipping, awl Mercantile Gazette evening newspaper, some hopes are entertained that the news brought by Captain PARKBR, of the Truelove, arrived at Hull, from Davis' Straits, of Sir ..john Franklin's ships having been seen by the natives, as late as March last, beset by the ice, in Prince Regent's Inlet, is not without foundation. " From the same source reports have been received that Sir James Ross's ships are in the south of Prince Regent's Inlet, and that the vessels of both expeditions are safe. " This hope is somewhat strengthened by the telegraphic message to the Admiralty, since received from the Mayor of Hull, where the Truelove arrived last night." From the above it will be observed that the intel ligence relating to Sir JOIIN FRANKLIN comes through some more homely, and consequently more admissible, channel than from the lips of a clairvoyants al Bolton. According to Captain PARKER, the com mander of the Truelove, just arrived at Hull, after a voyage from Davis' Straits, it will be observed that there is some probability of the report, as to the missing vessels having been seen as recently as March last by the natives, while beset by the ice in Prince Regent's Inlet, proving not altogether without foundation. Supposing this ru mour, on investigation, to be found correct, much of the anxiety respecting our brave countrymen will by th a t very circumstance be at once dissipated. For, according to that showing, the voyagers on the exploring expedition will have been seen within about half-a-year from the present period. Such being the case, the probabilities are that the second expe dition, the one dispatched by the Government to carry assistance to Sir JoHN FRANKLIN and his comrades, have already, or will very speedily, light upon their predecessors. The meeting among those regions of eternal winter, and the return of the adventurers homewards, will be amongst the most en thralling incidents recorded in that encyclopedia of marvels and heroism, the " Library of Voyages and Travels." Not only from our European revolutions, but also from the occurrences transpiring in the re motest corners of the navigable globe, may we ob tain conclusive evidence of the inaccuracy of that remark of Buaxe—that the age of history has gone by. We are more than ever sanguine that the last researches of Sir Jorm FRANKLIN and of his colleague, Captain Caozinit, in the Arctic Circle, m ay add another and a bril liant chapter to our maritime annals, and not remain for ever a mystery, whose solution is as horribly dubious as the fate of the unhappy Presi dent. The above communication from the Secretary to the Admiralty inspires us with new hope that the T one of FRANKLIN will be numbered amongst th e moat successful, and not amongst the most unfortu nate, of our illustrious navigators. There was an incident recorded in our foreign in. telligQnce of Saturday last, the bare recital of which must fill every manlyheart with unutterable indigna tion, and yet in the civilised country in which it took place such things are a matter of daily occur rence. Where - ter that mirror of chivalry, General Ilavmau, makes his appearance, his soldiers—so often conquered, and no wonder! when they meet men in open fight—are employed in bestowing the lash upon refractory women. rsuch, it appears, is the most ap. THE proved mode of Austrian warfare in the nineteenth century, and Austria (as we were informed no later back than Friday last) is " a Power with which Eng land, if not in alliance, is on friendly terms !" GOD forbid that we should in any way regard with satis faction such an act of wanton cruelty, such a base and cowardly outrage as that perpetrated against the noble lady whose hospitality had afforded temporary succour to the heroic fugitives BEM and Guvoar. Nevertheless, the event, however lamentable, has been excellently well-timed. It has come as " a great fact " to give a startling answer to the eloquence of a contemporary who, on Friday last, denounced with most rhetorical indignation the illiberal opponents of an Austrian loan. Let the people of England look dispassionately upon this picture and on that : let them listen to an English newspaper strongly urging upon Englishmen the propriety of furnishing supplies of money to impoverished Austria, and, behold ! the next day it is made manifest for what purpose those sums of money are required. It is asked of us, Englishmen ! to put a lash into the hands of HATNAII ! We are called upon—we who boast of our civilization and our Christianity—we whose hearts have bled for the sorrows of the Hunga rian patriots—we are called upon (now that the s vords of her soldiers are no longer to be feared) to share in the final glories of an Austrian campaign, the chastising of the wives and widows of the insur gents. Such is the sober fact. Austria wants money, and why, we are indignantly asked, should not English money be forthcoming. " This (we are told) is one of the most ordinary commercial trans , actions possible. It is as a commercial, a pacific transaction. It is one in which merchants, bankers, and brokers are eminently concerned. It is a mere matter of trade." It is the business of a capitalist to lend his money, no matter for 1$ hat purpose that money may be required. In the same way it is the business of a druggist to sell his wares, and of a cutler to dispose of his weapons ; but if those weapons or • those wares be purchased for the avowed purpose of committing murder, we apprehend that the said cut , ler and the said druggist will be amenable to the laws albeit they considered the sale " a mere matter of trade." Equally certain it is that any capitalist whose gold shall find its way into the coffers of Austria will from henceforth be identified, in the eyes of Europe, with the cruelties of WINDISCHGRATZ and the cowardice of lIAYNAU. Ho will be a mercenary speculator indeed who will venture to advance his money at such a rate of interest. If, however, anything were wanting to demonstrate the odious nature of such a transaction it would be amply afforded by the brutal flogging of Madame M.ADERS - uivticw... 'There are some persons in this country whose political opinions are favourable to despotism, who regard the Hungarians as rebels, and conse quently the Austrian campaign as perfectly legitimate. However much we may differ from these, we are confident that not one of them, not one individual Englishman, Scotchman, or Irishman, approves, or even tolerates the brutalities of General HAvNAu. Not one subject of Queen VICTORIA would have stood by and witnessed a woman, whose only crime was the having succoured the brave unfortunate, basely flogged by the hands of soldiers, and then dragged barefoot. Not one British heart would have throbbed callously—not one British hand, even if its owner stood alone against a host, but would have been lifted in that woman's defence. This is a supposi tion which no one, we are confident, will dispute. Shall we, then, believe that Englishmen, though they have been termed a nation of shopkeepers, are so lost to all sentiments of national dignity and individual humanity as to regard a partnership with HAYNAU as " a mere matter of trade ?" We do not believe it. The greatest aristocrat of us all, he who would shed his blood in defence of the right divine of kings—he who would bend a bow to extirpate the rebel subjects of Austria, would not give his gold to find lashes for the backs of women. Therefore it is we regard the sufferings of Madame MADERSBRUCK as singularly opportune. Mr. CO➢DEN might have spoken for ever, but even his practised eloquence would be powerless, in comparison with the natural indignation which these sufferings have excited in every honest heart. The Times may exhaust all the resources of its rhetoric in favour of an Austrian alliance, and the r;..inta aon;ial;aka _Until" -mar. Trintiara—aLtr.a. ", suchdemonstrations of the work for which English money is required ? Two years and a half since, when distress and want of confidence prevailed throughout the entire country, and when the ruinous consequences of the iniquitous Bank Charter Act of 1844 became too plainly perceptible, intelligence was received which produced the greatest joy among the currency quacks and bullionists. It was announced that the Au tocrat of RUSSIA had determined to extend relief to the commercial interests of the British Empire, similar to that which he had previously afforded to our French neighbours ; that he had directed that a portion of the specie, which had accumulated in the Imperial Treasury, under an inconvertible monetary code , amounting to thirty millions of silver roubles, equivalent to 4,600,0001. sterling, should be in vested in public securities, in addition to the sum previously applied in the purchase of French rentes, and it was understood that the greater portion, if not the entire thereof, would be expended in the British Stock Exchange in Three per Cent. Consols. An lo peran was forthwith raised by all those who considered the " convertibility" of the bank-note, and what they were pleased to term " the integrity of the standard," as more important than the preservation and extension of constitutional freedom throughout the civilized world, or than the honour of the British flag and the safety of the British nation. The praises of the mighty CZAR, the virtues of the magnanimous NICHOLAS, were chanted on every side! How grie• vously were they mistaken who ascribed any selfish or unworthy motives to that most excellent Monarch, who ventured to suspect that he meditated any aggression on our Indian Empire, or on the ter ritories of our ancient and trusty ally, the Sublime Porte. Such slanderers should thence forth and for ever hold their peace. Stronger evidence could not have been afforded of the pacific intentions end friendly feelings of that calumniated Sovereign than he had evinced by coming forward so liberally for the relief of our neces sities, and the support of our national credit. It was true that he had some little agreeable peculiarities—that he kept his own subjects in a state of slavery and degradation, and that he was supposed to be the unflinching opponent of the progress of liberal opinions and constitutional freedom ; but surely he was the best judge of the system of government suited to the innumerable races by which his boundless territories were inhabited—the miserable serfs of Muscovy, the Cossacks, Calmucks, Tartars, et hoc genus mune, could not be judged by the same rules which were applicable to English yeomen. The amiable despot, in fact, only panted for the opportunity of bestowing perfect freedom on his loving subjects; his heart's ardent aspiration was that the recipients should be worthy of the blessings with which he was ready to endow them. And, as to his being opposed to free institu tions and liberal opinions out of his own dominions, that was proved to be false by the di.sinterestall and timely assistance rendered to France and England, the most strenuous and influential supporters of these views, and the sturdy and unflinching opponents of absolutist doctrines. He could surely have no sinister designs in sending Fowl MILLIONS Six HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS sterling to our shores, at a mo ment when our resources were almost exhausted. lie could only be actuated by a friendly solicitude for the welfare and prosperity of his trusty sand well-beloved ally, and he might also desire to sustain so good a customer to give facilities for the purchase of corn at Odessa, rather than at New York, and by supplying us with the means of buying largely in the market, to keep up the prices of bread-stuffs, and to obtain higher prices than could otherwise be realised. Such were the views and opinions entertained with respect to the celebrated ukase of the 31st March, 1847. Few, indeed, were those who did not partici pate in the joy occasioned by the act of his Imperial MAJESTY. 'We, however, regarded the matter in a very different light. We could not share the general exultation. We felt that new weapons were placed in the hands of the despot to enable him to crush the liberties of Europe. We showed that he was there)); empowered, under our present ruinous and ,iniquitous LONDON, monetary code, to bring on at any moment a com mercial crisis, to expose the entire mercantile community to the most severe and ruinous losses. We have witnessed the melancholy results of a withdrawal of five or six millions of specie from our shores, and we explained the dangers of enabling our most formidable rival to call for 4,600,0001. in gold at a moment's notice, and called for a total alteration of the system that subjected the nation to such hazardous and disgraceful contingencies. Vain were our warnings. The Whigs in office were resolved to sustain the currency theories of their predecessor. Sir CHARLES WOOD was strongly imbued with all the fallacies of the JONES LOYD, PEEL school, and nothing could be hoped for at his hands. The Bank Charter Act, which was virtually suspended by the well-known letter of the 25th of October, 1847, was restored in all its stringency ; the public mind was amused by a mock investiga tion before a packed Committee, who reported directly in opposition to the evidence produced be'bre them. No change has been made in the Acts of 1819 or 1844, and the trade and commerce of Great Britain are still liable to be injured at the mere caprice of the Rus sian despot. The AUTOCnAT is fully aware of the vast increase of strength which he has thus obtained ; he believes that the arm of England is paralysed, be cause he has become her creditor for nearly five mil lions sterling, and, consequently, treats her represen- tations with contempt and disregard. Hence his unauthorised and unjustifiable invasion of Hungary —hence the overwhelming forces brought to crush the liberties of that heroic nation—hence his insolent and overbearing demand for the extradition of the gallant fugitives, who—victims to the bullion mania, to the " Auri sacra fames" of England sought refuge and protection from Moslem hospitality. The AUTOCRAT may, however, for once be mistaken. There is a limit to English forbearance. The debtor will not alwayn crouch at the feet of the tyrannical creditor. England, who never deserted the forlorn and distressed —who never rejected the prayer of the suppliant —will not see a friendly power bullied or cajoled into acting differently from what she would do herself; or suffer the betrayed champions of freedom to be surrendered to the vindictive and sanguinary monsters who thirst for the blood of patriots, and who would butcher upon scaffolds those whose only crime was too deep a love of their native land—too bold and unshrinking en assertion of their rights and privileges as free born citizens of a free nation. 'THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. MM. FRENEY and BOULATIQUIER have been dis patched on a special mission to Rome. The choice of these gentlemen for envoys would seem to indi cate a determination on the part of the PRESIDENT of the Republic to carry out the prinniples laid down in his celebrated letter to Cclonel EDGAR Nev. Both these gentlemen have long been known for their attach ment to the doctrine of the supremacy of the State in all things, and for their opposition to the various propositions which have been from time to time brought forward for the purpose of increasing the temporal power of the priests. It is also of good omen that the Univers, the organ of the Jesuits, is indignant at the appointment of these gentlemen. The proposition of M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE for an amnesty to the Bourbons is rejected with scorn by the worshippers of the " Right divine of kings to govern wrong." The Union says : " This is a singular conjunction ! The Bourbon family placed on the same line Kith the insurgents of June, and returning to France in virtue of the same act, and almost the same title; that is, by an appeal to gene rosity. The proposition of M. Napoleon Bonaparte is in every respect objectionable; it dissimulates ill an ambi tious calculation and a pretension. There are names and principles which will never be lowered under the insult of an amnesty. Had M. Napoleon Bonaparte then need of an insult to the Bourbons in order to mark his sym pathy for the insurgents of June ?" The Opinione Publique, though less insulting, is not one whit less opposed to the proposition. It says— " The sentiment which has suggested it does honour to M. Napoleon Bonaparte; but, with a little reflection, he would have comprehended that amongst the exiled Bourbons there is one who is not a man, but a principle; so that one could not be recalled without the other being established. To effect what M. Napoleon Bonaparte de mands, according to the Etinement, it would be necessary that the Republic bad proved, in loading France with grandeur, liberty, glory and prosperity, that the Count L de_ Chl,°sl°Fd h as but one orrice to render to his co iin the countr of an of l:tn. th eventuarlities of the futu re . M. Napoleony Bonaparte con e sequently has deposited on the table only a generous il lusion drawn up as a proposition." The proposition is said to have been drawn up by M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN. We are not, therefore, surprised at finding the following in the PresBe : " What an admirable initiative the President of the Republic has allowed to be taken from him! It is not, however, time which failed him, for he has had from December 20, 1848, to October 1, 1849. The adoption of the proposition signed, Napoleon Bonaparte, cannot be doubtful, with the present majority of the Legislative Assembly. To have this proposition rejected, it would be necessary that MM. Berryer, Nettement, Laroche jaquelin, and their friends, should vote against the Duke de Bordeaux; that MM. Thiers, do Broglie, Mole, and their friends vote against the family of Louis Philippe, against the pious Queen Amsfilie, who prays every day to God to be allowed to die in France, against the Count de Paris, who has nothing to gain by his eduction taking place in a foreign country. This proposition is the event of the day —a happy inspiration. By this act, the exile of 1814 has added a new eeliit to the glory of the name of Napoleon Bonaparte." It is believed that the PRESIDENT and his Ministers, in common with the great majority of the French people, are indignant at the conduct of the Emperors of Russu and of AUSTRIA, and are determined to support the SULTAN at 'all cost. The parti pretre, the " children of the Church," as they are called by the Uaivera, are the only persons who venture to support the Emperor of RUSSIA, and to hint, for they dare not speak out, the impolicy of France joining England in defending the Porte against its iniquitous oppressors. Fortunately, however, the " children of the Church " form a miserable minority in France. The National expresses, we believe, the sentiments of the great majority of the French people, when it says— "ln our opinion war is inevitable, and without de siring it we are prepared for it. But if it is desired to avoid it let it not be at the price of our honour, or of our interests. These are sacrifices which cannot be re paired, and God knows what price we may yet have to pay for having suffered the Monarchs to compress the movement of Democratic expansion, to which the revo lution of February gave birth. An opportunity is now offered to us of reconquering a portion of our lost in fluence. May we know how to profit by it." The Dia Deeembre, a Bonapartist journal, whose connexion with the Elysee is more than suspected, has the following:— "It is positively stated that the French Government is decided on not allowing its old ally the Porte to be oppressed, and that the President of the Republic, faith ful to the sentiment of patriotism of which his name is the glorious standard, is resolved to enter frankly into the paths of national dignity and energy, which preced ing Governments have too often forgotten for the last thirty-five years." It is satisfactory to find that the treatment of General LAMORICIERE by the AUTOCRAT has opened the eyes of the PRESIDENT and his Ministers to the value of Russian professions, and has shown them that their interest, as well as their duty, requires them to check the progress of Russian ambition. The only party in France that has aught to gain by Cossack supremacy is the par-paetra, whose pros perity has ever been synonlmous with the degrada tion of France. The representation of the melodrama entitled Rome, at the theatre of the Porte St. Martin, has been forbidden by the authorities.

LONDON AND METROPOLITAN COUNTIES BUILD• ING AND INVESTMENT SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society, which is founded upon very improved and popular principles, was held yesterday at the Craven Hotel, Strand ; Mr. Ayling in the chair. A very satisfactory report of the opera tions of the society during the past year was presented to the members. The improvement in this / society over many of the old ones consists in the fact that the subscriptions of the members begin and termi nate at specified periods, and that a stated instead of an uncertain amount is advanced to the members to purchase n.p d tla w rerema e ye l :t l ie i ,sid n ni Highnessgitistaoih:aeoPvarpeoloro-insmcituotafrde:, Prince Albert has been iirn to. be Saunders, Surgeon-dentistdi l e c s e q a . s , e d o . f —i G I e oo o n r rd g do e in: Gazette, Oct. 2.

Even in Vienna the publication of the mock am nesty and mock constitution granted by the Pore has been received with indignation and disgust. The Vienna journals of the 28th are unanimous in pro testing against the introduction into Rome of a sys tem of government so opposed to the wishes of the mass of the Roman people s and so at variance with the spirit of reform advocated by the Pro NoNo in 1848. It is said that M. DE HUBNER, formerly secretary to Prince METTERNICH, is to be appointed Ambassa dor to the French Republic. The rumour of the surrender of Comorn again prevailed in Vienna on the 28th. The capitulation was signed, it is said on the 27th. PRUSSIA. It is determined that Erfurth shall be the seat of ;he new German Diet about to be convoked by the ,hree Kings and their associates. FRANKFORT, Letters from Frankfort of Sept. 28 state— " Our autumn fair closes to-day, and for years we have not had any fair which has exhibited results as satisfac tory, not only regarding wholesale but also retail operations. But as it is natural that the sales are not always equally large in all branches, it has been ob served this time that articles of mere fashion have been in little demand, and the sales of articles of necessity have been so quick that a great number of merchants were compelled, after disposing of all they had brought, to carry home orders for what they could not supply on the spot. The retail trade has been favoured by the fine weather, which has induced many to attend the fair from a distance. The result of this fair proves that Frankfort has not lost its importance as a place for holding fairs, and that it will become still more important when the railroads which terminate in Frankfort shall be finished, and thus render it a cen tral point of union for the r a il wa y s of Western Ger many." SCILESWIG-HOLSTEIN. HUSUM, SEPT. 26.—An emeute took place here yes terday; it was occasioned by the arrival of the new postmaster, who had received his appointment from the Government Commission to act at Tonning ; he was so grossly insulted by the populace of Tonning that he was compelled to make his retreat hither under escort of the Danish Chamberlain and hi 3 secre tary, accompanied by a body of Hussars. But his reception was no better here ; he and his companions were hissed and hooted at by the populace, who even threw stones at them, and insisted that he should instantly take his departure in order that the public peace might - net be 'broken. He was with difficulty rescued from-the mob by the energetic con duct of a citizen named SCUMIDT, who, however, drew the popular fury upon himself, and he with difficulty effected his escape to his own house, whither the mob closely pursued him and wreaked their vengeance upon him by breaking his windows. The Prussian troops did not succeed in establishing order till nearly ten o'clock at night. The German Reform ,say `s the Danish Ministers have solemnly buund themselves'by a protocol not to consent in the treaty of peace to a partition of Schles wig under any circumstances whatever, but to persist in the maintenance of the integrity of the duchy. SWITZERLAND. The Sentinelle du Jura of the 30th ult. says—" M. STRUVE, the leader of the Baden insurrection, has been compelled, on the demand of the Grand Duchy of Baden and the German powers, to quit Lausanne, where he had sought refuge. He proceeds through France to England. He was yesterday at Lons le- Saulnier, witbbia wife, aged 20, and his brother-in law, who is still;younger. He is himself at least 50 ; his head is partly bald, and, without being handsome, carries the marks of great energy in his features." DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, SEPT. 14 —Troops: i have taken their departure from Jassy and Galatz, under the command of General Menmoup PASHA. A corps of Russian troops coming from Tansylvania has gone direct into Moldavia, without traversing any foreign terri tory; ten thousand Russians, and the same number of Turks, remai❑ in Wallachia as the garrison. The surplus of this number are to quit Bucharest in the course of the autumn.• TURKEY. Letters from Malta of the 26th ult. state that in telligence had been received in that island from Con stantinople of the 19th, which gave every reason to hope that the questions which had arisen between Turkey and. Russia would be . se t tled amicably inasmuch as the Ttussian asontrte b :inee he foun d ' Wirrv i irrivViirtra - t r iviaita, received a dispatch from Sir STRAITORD CANNING on the 22d ult. He im mediately forwarded it to Sir W. PARKER, who was at Corfu with the Queen, Caledonia, and Howe, three-deckers; Prince Regent, Powerful, Vengeance, and Bellerophon, two-deckers; Thetis frigate, Odin steam frigate, and Rosamond and Ardent steam sloops. It was supposed that Sir W. PARIER would at once proceed with his fleet to the Dardanelles. It was•said that a Russian fleet had been met with in the Black Sea steering towards Constantinople. It is said that there is proof that the outbreak in Ce phalonia was the work of Greeks in the pay of Russia. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 500 American for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market wes quiet at previous rates. Tie transactions comprised 5,000 American at 41d. to 6id., 300 Bahia at 54d., 300 Egyptian at 60. to 7id., 300 Surat at 4d. to 41d., and 40 Sea Island at 10d. to Is. 2d. per lb.—Railway Shares continuk d dull, and prices were tending downwards, with but little business doing. ✓ Tho sales of Grain in the provincial markets are in creasing. The six weeks' average price of wheat is 435. 6d. per quarter. The American letters received yesterday afternoon add nothing important to the outline then given in The Sun, but the intelligence from California is described as having produced a very marked sensation at New York, and led to renewed expectations of most important restilts. The effect upon the trade and currency of the world may not be immediate, but it will be soon felt in America, and, not long after, here likewise. Even the glut of goods at San Francisco must be wholly relieved, ere long, by the increased consumption, unless the im ports are very inordinate, and which is unlikely, seeing the number of vessels already abandoned in the harbour. A New York journalist gives the following warning:— " Look out for a gradual rise in the price of provisions and produce, and other articles of necessity, as the fall and winter approach. A number of new banks have been started in this state, under the present banking system, for the purpose of enabling speculators to go out west, and purchase, on speculation, all the produce that they can lay their hands upon, then advance the prices, and thus making money, during the fall and winter, out of the bard-working community of New York. Those banks will also explode, after being used by the specu lators ; but the high prices of provisions will be secured, without the subtraction of a dime." As excellent a summary as we have seen of the posi tion of various railway undertakings, the causes of their decline, and the prospects of the market, is given in a letter that we have received from Mr. Robert McEwen, of Manchester. Alluding to the satisfactory result of recent meetings, the writer observes that they will suf ficiently account for the lower range of prices that has lately prevailed, the falling traffic receipts having on the 21st ult. given the coup de grace, and, by leading to a re newed decline, destroyed the margin assigned by those who had loaned money on such securities. The cholera likewise, had en undoubted influence, f)r in the year 1832 it lessened the traffic of the Manchester and Liver • pool line to the extent of 70,000 passengers, and it is re marked that it is in the item of passengers, not goods, that the recent decline has occurred on the North- Western. The reckless competition for the conveyance of merchandise to Liverpool is another point very fairly commented on, and the shareholders will doubtless take up the matter hereafter. The public now in respect to shores are said to be evincing more than the usual cou rage and discrimination, by taking up stock at the cur rent low rates for investment. Much more is stared in ,he same letter upon the subject of remunerating direc• ,ors adequately, in order to prevent amateur manage ment, and of the necessity of dividing the boards into managing and consulting; and, after observing that de velopment of the traffic is to be looked to especially, we have the following : " However continuous the downward current of prices has been, it necessarily cannot be perpetual. Prices i are n t not he tlriakeffi I c y r to receipts e r i a p l t l rally, h oiv r e vcr, w these fa i l t l h o o u ff tan im provement in and parlia mu t does not authorise an advance of shares, dividends and prices must necessarily decline proportionably. Yet the general state of the country would promise success to any sound and well-managed undertaking. Liabilities in respect of calls are now within a narrow compass. The calls for September were 443,1811. in all (2E0,000/. being for the South Wales alone), against 2,592,763/. in September last year. Money, for short periods, is only worth two per cent. in Lombard—street, and first- class paper is being discounted at 21 per cent. Such an easy condition of the Money Market has been always followed hitherto by an advance in the price of produce and secu rities. The internal business of the country is active and remunerative, artisans and operatives being fully em ployed. The foreign trade for the year, as evidenced by the Board of Customs' returns, has been on a scale of unusul magnitude. The weather has continued provi dentially favourable, so that the late crops of the r.orth of England and Scotland have been secured, in as good condition and as great abundance as the earlier ones in the south. The cessation of war and political ferment on the Continent has led to an active resumption of our commercial relations with the various European states, throughout which peace and plenty once more prevail. The horizin is clear at the moment of most of the threatening elements that used to depress the more speculative and sensitive class of securities. The ravages of cholera are mercifully mitigated. The pulse of business might well beat more feebly in the metropo lis, when, as in the first week of September, 2,000 of her citizens were numbered among the victims of the epidemic. In Hull its virulence was not less fatal; and seems to have attained its acme during the month in all the large towns. It would have been unseemly, had the effects of such a visitation not been perceptible in every walk of life and business, and not least in its more spe culative branches. The disease, happily, seems now everywhere decidedly and gradually on the decline. It may he that the country is emerging from a series of disastrous to one of snores vas 11y t prosperous years. ,Such, too, -=; "" 1 fAher.askosn ni ton _ n w itusee:But while almost lt of every ot have only sunk deeer sae slough.

This arises, however, chiefly from the falling off in the pro ceeds of the sale of Crown lands and licences, for the general revenue exhibits an increase under nearly every item.

From Van Dieman's Land there are accounts of the 18th May. The production of grain had been very prolific, and there was a difficulty in disposing of the large surplus of the island as well as of South Australia. Some proposed the erection of Government stores. The first colonial built ship had just been launched at Hobart Town, and is described as being as fine a one as any in the port. Two more were on the stocks, destined to inc rease the whaling fleet, each of 350 ton s , or the same service, and two of 700 and 500 tons respectively for the London trade. If this is followed up with spirit, the eoloni. , s will effect a great annual saving upon their exports, and we shall soon see whether cheap built ships cannot be got by England as well as the Continent, to the advan tage of all classes, because of the increased trade. Im mense quantities of produce, Sze., are now withheld from distant parts where they would be useful, solely on ac count of the necessarily heavy charge for freight. The Continental adjices are not of much interest . , and the prevalence of contrary winds has checked the ar rival of the usual number of mails. At Paris the news of the decline in Consols upon the Russian affair occa sioned some fall in the Bodes. The Funds have been fairly supported, but are not quite so buoyant as they were at the opening.

PENINSULAR MAILS SOU TIT AMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING, ELEVEN, A.M. - The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Iberia, Captain C. F. Burney, h as j ust arrived here with the usual Spanish and Portuguese mails. Her dates are—Gibraltar, September 26 ; Cadiz, 27; Lisbon, 29; Oporto, no communication; Vigo, October 1. She brings eight packages of specie and a large cargo of grapes, lemons, &c., and 25 passengers. Our accounts from Lisbon are to the 210th ultimo. The artisans who had struck for wages had quietly returned to their- work. The discount on Lisbon bank notes had declined another six per cent. in con sequence of judicious steps taken by the Minister of Finance to stop the sales of those notes on Govern ment account. The discount is now quoted 25 per cont. Reports were prevalent that M. Avila, the Finance Minister, would be forced to retire from the Cabinet, although the Diario di Govern() declares that the best unc4rstanding existed between the members of the Ministry, yet it was maintained by well:informed persons that such was far from being the case. The Count de Thomar was absent from Lisbon at his estatsga. i n the country. An Oporto company had presexiftd proposals for the Lisbon water contract. Rains had set in very heavily, and had stopped all further grape packing. On the Lis bon Exchange a large amount of bills on London had appeared, with fewi takers. The quotation was 54 for three months' pver. Portuguese Five per Cents., 52i to 53i ; Four per Cents, 43 to 44 ; Bank of Por tugal shares have declined. We learn from Gibraltar that a French line of bat tle ship and two war steamers had dropped anchor in Tangiers Bay on the 245th ult. BATHS AND WASHRouSES IN LAAIDETII.—On Tuesday evening last a meeting of members of the dif ferent parochial boards of this parish was held at the Vestry-hall, the Rector in the chair, to consider the propriety of taking steps for the erection of baths and washhouses for the benefit of the poor inhabitants of the parish. It was unanimously decided that such an ar rangement would be highly beneficial to the parish, and under the Divine blessing might have the effect of greatly diminishing the sickness and mortality among the lower classes, if the parish should ever again be visited by such a pestilence as during the present year. The churchwardens were requested to give more than usual publicity to the notice of the vestry, which, under the provisions of the 9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 74, it would be necessary to call, it; order to consider the expediency of taking advantage of that Act for erecting the baths and washhouses. DAvls' STRAITS WHALE FISHERY.—The following intelligence has been brought by the Truelove, which passed Peterhead on the Ist inst.:—The Truelove, of Hull, 13 fish, a full ship; the Prince of Wales, of llull, lost; the Lord Gambier, of Hull, not seem the Lady Jane, of Newcastle, lost; the Regalia, of Kirkaldy, 19 fish. 150 tons oil; the Chieftain, of Kirkaldy, 16 fish, 85 tons; the Alexander, of Dundee, 20 fish, 130 tons; the Horn, of Dundee, 17 fish, 160 tons; the Advice, of Dundee, 20 fish, 170 tons; the Princess Charlotte, of Dundee, 28 fish, 235 tons; the Joseph Green, of Peter -18 fish, 140 tons; the Superior, of Peterhead, lost; the Dublin, of Peterhead, not seen.

James Keefe, a tailor residing in Earl street, Seven dials, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a leather portmanteau containing wearing apparel and articles of jewellery, value 501., the pro perty of Mr. Henry Cavendish Angelo, 79, Great Titchfield-street. The prosecutor deposed that on the evening of the 29th of August he returned from the country, and at once proceeded to his apartments in Great Titch. field-street with his luggage. Having partaken of some refreshment he went out, leaving his portmanteau in his bed-room. On his return, home at twelve o'clock the same night, he was surprised to see the street-door wide open; but as the servants were in the habit of doing this when they ran out for anything, he took no notice of the circumstance, and proceeded up stairs to bed. In about ten minutes after he was surprised to see a police-constable walk into his room with a light. The constable asked witness if he had lost anything. Ile looked roand the room and dis covered that his portmanteau had disappeared from where he had deposited it. The portmanteau contained, besides wearing apparel, a valuable diamond ring, a diamond brooch, and gold shirt-studs, altogether worth about .0/. George Sangster, a cabman, stated that about eleven o'clock on the night of the 29th of August, he was stand ing with his cab on the rank in Foley-street, when a man, whom he identified as the prisoner, came across the road with a large black portmanteau on his shoulder, and engaged witness to drive him to King-street, Long acre. He placed the portmanteau in the cab, and wit ness drove him there. On getting out of the cab he paid witness Is., and went down the street with the port manteau. Witness did not notice which house the prisoner went in. Mr. .Argelo said his portmanteau answered the de scription of the one described by the cabman. Police -constable Hughes said he had not been able to trace any of the stolen property at present, but if the prisoner was remanded, he thought he should be able to connect the prisoner with the robbery. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded for a week. 17% --- IRELAND.
