The Revenue Returns for the year and quarter, ending the 10th of October, will be found in another part of this day's impression. They appear to be of a satisfactory character, and afford indications of a gradual improvement of the nation from the financial difficulties in which it has been involved for some time past. The industrious classes have, indeed, passed through a fearful ordeal during that disastrous period. Two years since there was a monetary panic,! a total cessation of :credit—the interest of money was three or four times the usual rate. The Bank Charter Act, which, if not the cruse of this fearful state of things, had at least materially in creased the intensity of the crisis, had been virtually suspended. Its most enthusiastic advocate was compelled reluctantly to admit that if it had been maintained in all its stringency there would have been a cessation of cash payments. The Bank of England, with 8,000 0001. sterling in its coffers, would have been unable to have met its engagements. The very measure that was intended to have secured the con vertibility of the bank note would have had a totally different effect. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer, however, yielded at the eleventh hour. The apathy and indifference with which he had lis tened to the representations of the merchants and bankers of the United Kingdom immediately vanished when convinced of the danger of the Bank it-elf. The celebrated letter of the 25th October, 1847, was wri ten, and its beneficial effects were almost immediately apparent, confidence was im mediately restored. There had never been the slightest doubt as to the real solvency and stability of the national establishment ; the only danger was occa sioned by the mischievous restrictions of the Act of 1844, which prevented the directors from rendering available the large amount of bullion lying idle in their coffers. Notes were as acceptable as gold, but it was feared that those notes could not be issued, and the natural result was the run upon the deposits that threatened such calamitous consequences. The permission to dispense with and disregard the provi sions of the Act removed the danger, and the nation was preserved from a catastrophe of which it was impossible to foresee the result. Since that period there has been a gradual but slow improvement, which would have been much more perceptible but for the undue caution exhibited by the Bank authorities. " The screw " was still kept on, the discounts were lirnitsd until the private securities were reduced to less than half the amount at which they formerly stood. Had greater liberality been exhibited, the difficulties would long since have passed away, and the country would have been restored to prosperity. We must, however, be contented with the scanty measure which our rulers are inclined to accord, and to rejoice at the symptoms of returning vitality afforded by the National Balance sheet for the past year. There is an improvement of the total revenue, both on the year and quarter—on the former of 235,5711., and on the latter of 281,3841., the greater portions whereof are on the ordinary branches of revenue, which for the year is 222,3671., and for the quarter 276,0931. ; and it is satisfactory to be enabled to state, that the ameliora tion is to be found in the most important items. It is true, that there is a decrease in the Customs' re ceipts on the quarter of 153,211/. This falling off, can, however, be fully accounted for by the removal of the tax on corn, from which a considerable sum WAS realised during the corresponding quarter of last year. There have been several important reductions of duties, which have come into oFeration during the past year without any mischievous results ; indeed, the increase under the head of Customs on th e twelve months is no less than 298,7361. This result is conclusive as to the accuracy of the financial propo sition, that the reduction of taxation does not tend to the proportionate reduction of the net revenue. The Excise, which may be regarded as the index to the condition of the labouring population, exhibits, we are happy to say, an increase on th- quarter of 185,0031. The tide has at length turned in this most important branch of the national revenue. The year, however, still exhibits a falling off of no less than 443,945/., which may partly be ascribed to the defi cient crop of barley last year, and partly to the post ponement of the collection of the hop duties, in consequence of the difficulties and embarrassments experlenced in the h o p- grow i ng districts. The chief increasein the quarter is in the spirits and paper duties, the former of which is in some degree attribu table to the fearful epidemic raging throughout the country, which led to a greater consumption of ardent spirit.: than is usually the case. The Stamps exhibit an increase on both the year and quarter—on the former:of 125,1081., and on the latter of 224,8051. This in some degree warrants the infer ence that there is a greater degree of activity in the commercial world than during the preceding year. A portion of the increase is owing to larger receipts for probate and legacy duties. Taxes, while they exhibit an increase on the year of 18,4271., show a decrease on the quarter of 12,5991. This may pos• sibly be owing to greater indulgence being ex hibited in he collection. The amount must be pretty nearly the same, for the assessment must be paid sooner or later, whatever may be the consequence. The Property-tax, which indicates the condition of the middle classes, as the Excise does of the working population, is also recovering from the shock it sustained during the disastrous years 1847-8. The (Ailing off on the entire year is but 2,209/., while the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING . OCTOBER 11, 1849 improvement on the quarter is 21,1161., which would show an improvement in the incomes of persons of the middle class to the amount of nearly 3,000,0001. per annum more than it was in the quarter ending 10th October, 1848. The Post-office still appears in a highly satisfactory position, thanks to the indefatigable exertions of Mr. ROWLAND HILL. Many improvements have been effected at a considerable expenditure, affording greatly increased accommodation to the public, and still there is an increase of 66,0001. on the year, and of 3,0001 on the quarter. In the Crown Lands there is an increase of 39,0001. fer the year, no change whatever on the quarter. A vast improvement could be effected in the adminis tration of this department ; if managed with the same attention which a private individual bestows on his own affairs, it is not too much to say that 500,0001. per annum could easily be realised. What can we think, however, of the stewardship under which " The New Forest," containing more than 60,000 acres of land in one of the finest counties of England, which would probably sell for 1,800,0001. or 2,000,0001., if submitted to public competition by auction, not only produces no revenue whatsoever, but there is actually a charge of 2,3041. 103. fur management during the past year, over and above all returns what soever? This glaring abuse, this flagrant waste of public money, must speedily be reformed. The nation requires it ! The over-burdened tax-payers demand it, and the Government must comply with their reasonable request. The only remaining item of the ordinary revenue, the Mis cellaneous, shows an increase both on the year and quarter—on the former of 121,3401., and on the latter of 7,9791. Of the extraordinary branches of the revenue there is an increase in the " Imprest and other Monies,' and also of the " Repayment of Advances" during the year. The improvement is, however, nearly balanced by the China Money, of which the last instalment was received during the year 1848. We cannot conclude our observations without alluding to the pleasing fact that the country is no longer expending more than its income. In place of a deficiency, which has so often been apparent, there is at length a surplus revenue after providing for the charges on the Consolidated Fund, and for the pay ment of Supply Services in England in the quarter just terminated of 544,8871. After a multitude of victims, averaging in round numbers from 10,000 to 20,000, have been sacrificed to that devastating scourge which may now-a-days be as correctly termed the European as the Asiatic Cholera—the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers has been determined by a writ of supersedeas. How many individuals might have been spared from de struction by a somewhat snore humane display of unanimity among the late Commissionerslwe shall not pause to conjecture ; but certain it is that hundreds, nay thousands, have been cruelly saerificed to squabbles as disgraceful as they were ill-timed and interminable. With the successors of these very crochetty and quarrelsome gentlemen rests the responsibility of making ,up for their deficiencies, by the wholesome and practical re forms introduced in the more vitiated quarters of the metropolis. Until we see any sufficient indication to the contrary, we shall continue sanguine in our esti mate of the ability and the good intentions of the new Commissioners. It will be observed with satisfaction that among them are comprised members of some of the most important classes of the community —a nobleman of active business habits, an engineer of world-wide celebrity, a barrister-at-law, a general officer, four officers of the Royal Engineers a Fellow of the Royal Society, a builder of great emi nence, and among the foregoing two of the popular representatives. Profiting by the example of their predecessors, it is earnestly to be hoped that these gentlemen will avoid all those occasions of dissen sion which, while bringing odium upon them col lectively, is calculated to paralyze all their better exertions. They must have recognized, in the de clension of credit perceptible in the public feeling evinced towards the late members of the Commis sion, that no posstole advantage can accrue from the irritable advocacy of theories as fantastic as they are chimerical. What is required in these periods of public emergency, when a terrible disease is ravaging he capital, is not any ingenious device, principally remarkable for its novelty, but a speedy, simple, and general employ ment of the ordinary measures of purification. GOD knows there is ample room for labour in this direc tion, and that the energies of the Commission may be readily engrossed in the routine of such plain and un-intricate proceedings. As if to illustrate the state ment that there are nests of disease festering amidst all the wealth and magnificence of London, the same im pression of our journal, which announces the appoint ment of the new Commissioners of ,Sewers, contains the account of a deplorable case brought under the attention of the magistrate of the Thames Police court yesterday. It will be there observed that the brutality of a ruffian' who:is son-in-law to the keeper of a penny lodging-house in Blue Anchor-yard, Rose mary-lane, brought to light the excessive filth of that miserable locality. On rescuing from the prisoner two unfortunate boys who had been beaten by him over the head and shoulders in a savage manner with a blackthorn stick, the policeman witnessed in the room of this penny lodging-house a scene of squalor and wretchedness, the existence of which is a blot on the civic escutcheon. The room in question, according to the witness, was a very small one, containing no furniture of any description. Sixteen men, women, and children were huddled together on the floor, all of them in rags, and some of them almost is a state of nudity. The apartment did not appear to have been cleansed for a considerable time, and the impu rity of the atmosphere was consequently intolerable Aft r these particulars, there cannot surely be felt any surprise at the supplementary statement of the policeman, that several cases of cholera had occurred in the house and in the adjoining ones, which were equally filthy. If such is the foul condition of those localities on the surface, it may be conjectured how much attention is paid to their subterranean purification. But the case is far, unfortunately, from being isolated. Instances equally distressing might be multiplied from all the metropolitan pariehes indiscriminately. In one direction we find the atmo sphere polluted by the deleterious gaseslissuing from an overgorged graveyard, where the very sods are reeking with rottenness ; in another' the air is poisoned by the vapours rising from an open cesspool, or by the equally obnoxious exhalations from the premises of some disgusting manufactory. here ventilation is rendered impossible by the closeness of some miserable little court, the resort of habitual mendicants ; there the water consumed by a whole district is pumped in the immediate vicinity of a stagnant sewer. Surely these evils betokenby their pro longed continuance an insane indifference on the part of the community, as well as a most culpable negligence on the part of the authorities. So long as the Thames is contaminated by the vast quantities of decomposing substances and feculent refuse poured into it daily, hourly, and even momentarily, while the metropolis itself is still choked up with filth, and rendered the perpetual abiding place of contagion—so long will the Commission of Sewers be disgraced in the eyes of the suffering community. It remains with the newly appointed members of this Commission to remove their official discredit, and in so doing to benefit the entire population, and render the capital of England salubrious, instead of destructive. In expecting them to do this we are looking for the per formance of no miracle. We are only demanding what is required at once by common sense and common humanity. We feel that, with out making on our own part some exertions of this character, the national prayers and humiliation e w r i e l will be gu e i only sing a mockery of Gon's:infinite n a hackni e d tru i sm that' 6ro l D w h e d ei o the stho wisd sew om of the hohelp themselve s . L et t h e new ly.elected p Commissioners but enter upon their important labours with a due recog nition of their responsibilities, and the ill-repute of their office may be happil y ; an d speedily dissipated. Let them feel that alth oug h those labours - are in many respects Herculean ; though they have, in the sewers of the capital, to cleanse more than the stables of Elis ; though, in the shape of many d ea dl y epidemics, they have to destroy a more horrible monster than even the Lernean hydra; though they have, in the indignation of the public, to grapple with an Antagonist stronger than the lion of Nernea —that, nevertheless, all these things are cle arty practicable ; and that the most difficult amongst them may, by a combination of probity and energy, be reduced from a dream to an achievement. TRE FRENCH REPUBLICS We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The trial of the accused of the 13th June was to commence on that morning, at Versailles, and great preparations were making in that city for the opening of the High Court with all due state and solemnity. The accused, who are in custody, were removed on the night of Tuesday, in omnibuses strongly guarded, from the Conciergerie to Versailles. Among those who are in custody, are the following representatives of the people : MM. Commissaire ... ... Jura Suchet ... ... ... Var Maigue ... ... ... Haute Loire Fargin-Fayolle ... ... Allier Pithes ... ... ... Arid Daniel Lamaziere ... ... Haute Vienne Bock Bas Rhin Vanthier ... ... ... Cher Devine ... ... ... Hautes Pyttnees Gamboge ... ... ... Nievre. The following is a list of the representatives who have fled, but who are included in the act of accu sation : MM. Ledru Rollin ... Victor Considerant Boichet ... ... Rattier ... ... ... Seine Beyer ... ... ... Bas Rhin Pfheger ... ... ... Haut Rhin Avail ... ... ... Izere Martin Bernard ... ... Loire Koenig ... ... ... Haut Rhin Rougeot ..• ... ... Soane et Lore Menaud ... ... ...

Loire et Cher Hertzmann ••• ... Soane et Loire Jaunot ... ... ... Soane et Loire Laurien ... ... ... Cher Felix Pyat --- ... Cher. The accused are 67 in number, of whom 29 only are In custody. The National Assembly, on Tuesday, rejected M. PELLETIER'S motion for the seizure of corporate and communal property, and for the establishment of 3,000 banks to lend money to the ouvriers, by a ma jority of 433 to 5. The proposal of M. PELLETIER did not differ materially from that made by M. PROUDIION last year. The greater number of the Montagnard representatives abstained from voting. The Journal des Debats publishes the following report of the conclusion of the discussion in Commit tee on the demand_ for additional credits for the Roman expedition : " The committee charged to examine the credits de manded for the expedition to Rome yesterday closed its discussions on the questions relative to the affairs of Italy. The groundwork of these questions were prin cipally entered into by two of the Members, M. Victor Hugo and M. Thiers. M. Thiers developed the opinion ' which he had before given in his barest'. He took the mote proprio as the basis of the policy which should be pursued, and declared himself perfectly satisfied with that document. He passed the highest eulogium on the Roman expedition. The taking of the bastion No. 8 was in his eyes a feat of arms which might be com pared to the battles of Arcole and of Lodi, and to the most glorious deeds of the Republic and of the Em pire; and the result obtained by our negotiations might, he said, be compared with the success obtained by the treaties of Camp* Formio and Tilsit. M. Victor Hugo placed the question in a point of view diametrically opposite. He confined himself to the letter of the President, which in his opinion summed up the whole national policy ;in the Roman question. Ihe whole discussion, he thought, should bear on that letter. The comparison between it and the motu proprie should, he said, be the basis of the deliberations of the Assembly. He thought that the Assembly should sup port our Government, our Cabinet, and our diplomacy in a sense of firmness, and not in one of weakness. He feared that the majority would, by a timid vote, give the Cabinet an excuse to draw back. He saw a serious danger in any schism which might take place on a ques tion of such importance between the President and the majority. M. Mole, M. Janvier, and M. do Monta lembert supported the observations of M. Thiers, while M. de la Moskowa and M. Casablanca looked at the question in the same light as M. Victor Hugo. General Oudinot gave several explanations, which were supported by documents, which it is stated will not be made public. The President of the Council and the Minister of Foreign Affairs attended the Committee. They communicated to it several documents, and declared that the letter of the Pre sident, in its ensemble, would form the basis of their policy, and that without expressing themselves as well satisfied as M. Thiers with the mote proprio. they ac cepted it provisionally, subject to a claim fur ulterior concessions. M. Thiers replied, that although now satisfied with the mote proprzo, he should be delighted to see the Court of Rome go beyand it, and snake further concessions. Nevertheless he could not deny that he anticipated a strong resistance on that point on the part of the Court of Rome. It aprears that Ministers de clared to the Committee that the mote proprio, and par ticularly the kind of amnesty which it contained, had given great dissatisfaction to every class of the Roman people, and that the army could not at present be with drawn from Rome without danger. The Committee afterwards proceeded to nominate its reporter. M. Thiers was elected by eleven votes; M de Broglie ob tained two. M de Montalembert absented himself at the moment of voting. One blank bulletin was given, which was attributed to M. Victor Hugo." M. DE Fet,Lot,ix has had a relapse of so serious a nature that it is considered it will be impossible for him to take part in the approaching discussion on the affairs of Rome. ... Seine Seine ... Seine The late Minister of the United States in Paris had an interview with the PRESIDENT of the Republic on Tuesday. It is said the French Government are about to ap point an agent to remain at Fez, near the residence of the Emperor of Mottocco, in order to defeat the intrigues of the EMPEROR'S courtiers. In the course of the sitting of the Assembly yester day M. DE LA. MosKowA moved that an additional annual allowance should be granted to the Vice- President of the Republic to enable him to defray the expenses of his Hotel. The motion was, after considerable discussion, agreed to by a majority of 213 to 89. The Democrat du Var publishes intelligence, which it says it has received by the Tartare, just arrived from Civita Vecchia. This intelligence is nothing less than the report of the outbreak of a popular insurrection at Naples, and of the violent death of King BostnA. We need not add that such intelligence as this stands greatly in need of confir mation. The High Court of Versailles was occupied the whole of yesterday in putting the usual preliminary questions to the accused. _ The Assemblee -Nationale says :—" With real satisfaction we learn that the Council of Ministers has decidedly adopted the motu proprio of the Holy Father as the basis of its policy. This resolution has been unanimously taken, without even excepting AL DUFAURE." The Ordre says : " The account which we quoted from the Perk of the delivery of his passports to the Turkish Ambassador by the Austrian Government, is far from being confirmed. A letter from Vienna of the 3d, which has been commu nicated to us, announces on the contrary, in a very posi tive manner, that the Imperial Cabinet has renounced the intention which it had in the first place entertained of ceasing all communication with the Turkish Envoy, who on his side has protested the desire of his Government to continue its friendly relations with Austria." ALLEGED REVOLUTION IN NAPLES. The Patric of last evening repeats the ru mours of an insurrection in Naples, which had ended in the proclamation of a Republic, adds, "this intelligence does not appear altogether devoid of foundation." PARIS BOURSE.—WEDNUDAY, OCT. 10. The market opened firm at about the closing quota tions of the previous day, and for a time were well main tained; towards the close, however, in consequence of some rather considerable sales, prices again gave way, to leave off rather lower than yesterday; Threes at 55f. 55e.; and Fives at 87f. 75c. The market closed as follows:—Threes, for cash, 55f. 60c.; for account, 55f. 55c.; Fives, for cash, 87f. 75c. ; for account, 87f. 75c.; Bank of France Shares, 2,340 t. ; Spanish Threes, 34f. 25c.; ditto Fives and Neapolitans not quoted. RAILWAYS.—There has been little or nothing doing in railway shares, but prices have varied very little. Orleans closed at 735 E; Rouen, 5251.; Havre, 2451.; Avignon, 2171.50 c.; Vierzon,29oE ; Strasburg and Basle, 101 f. 25c.; Bordeaux, 402 f. 50c.; Northern, 427 f. 50c.; Paris and Strasburg, 348 f. 75c.; Naates, 2861. 25c.; Montereau, 112 f 50c.

MADRID BOLSA, OCT. s.—Three per Cents. 27f paper; Five per Cents., ill for account Exchange on London, 50 40 money. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, OCT. 10.—REMOVAL OF THE COURT FROM THE ISLE OF WIGUT.—As at present arranged, her Majesty leaves Osborne on Friday, on a visit to her Majesty Queen Adelaide, and the Royal children leave on Saturday, but it is expected they will be absent but a very few days, in consequence of the cholera being at Windsor. The Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue had an interview with the Chancellor of the 4xchequer yesterday. in, there is every reason to expect that prosperity which his Majesty hopes to be an eye witness of, so soon as circumstances shall permit him to repair to his faithful subjects of Luxemburg. -"In the name of the King Grand Duke, I declare the ordinary session of the Chamber of Deputies to be opened." his Royal highness then retired with the same ceremonies which had attended his entrance, after which the Chamber proceeded with the formation of its bureau. M. METz was appointed President, and Baron TRUNAW Vice-President ; Messrs. LEFORT and GROS were appointed SPerrtaritti. One of the Netherland journals, the Toekomst (Future), announces that the KING, in imitation of Louis Pniurrs, is letting his sons go through the regular course of studies at the College of the Hague, in order that, during the course of their education, they may become acquainted with the views and wants of the people whom they may hereafter be called upon to govern. The High Court of the Netherlands has decided the cause in favour of the family of the BOURBON son of the soi disant Duke of NORMANDY, against the State. THE HAGUE, OCT. 10.—The Chamber of Depu ties of Luxemburg has voted an address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. It is almost a repetition of the Speech, and concludes in the following words :-- "His MAJESTY and the Government may depend upon the frank and loyal assurance of the Chamber; that they take, for the b‘sis of their policy, the principles of order, law, and impartiality, of con servatism, of progress, and of honour. His MAJESTY has not hesitated to recognize that Luxemburg has hitherto followed these principles, and by persevering in them, we may with confidence expect that pros perity which the country will be proud for its SOVEREIGN to witness, whenever circumstances may permit him to visit his faithful Luxemburg subjects." His Royal Highness Prince HENRY gave a grand dinner to the Members of the Chamber, at which several loyal speeches were made, in acknowledgment of the toasts. Altogether his Royal Highness has been received with much enthusiasm. The Cabinet Council at the Hague continues to have one sitting after another, and negotiations are carried on with many individuals, but as yet his MAJESTY has not succeeded in the formation of a Ministry. The cholera is on the decline ; not more than twenty persons were under treatment at the hospital on the 9th, and one fresh case only occurred —Dutch Papers, Oat. 10. GREECE. HOSPITABLE RECEPTION OF THE ITALIAN REFUGEES. The Concordia of the 6th publishes a letter from Athens of the 22d ult., stating that more than 500 Italian refugees have arrived there, and that it is the intention of the Greek Government to allot them por tions of uncultivated land in the Morea. The following is the outline of the plan which was expected to be presented to the Chambers on the 24th, in the name of the Italian refugees :-Ist. A colony to be formed in some part of Greece, to be fixed hereafter; 2d. The Italian colonists shall acquire the rights of Hellenic nationality ; 3d. Each man shall receivy a minimum of land of the extent of 100 strcmata, which may be increased according to the m( ans of each colonist ; 4th. The colonist becomes sole proprietor of the land on condition of fulfilling the clauses of his contract, and paying the value of the land by instalments. He may let and convey his rights and obligations; sth, The colonists shall be tax-free for five years, and after that period pay a tax which shall increase progressively, till, at the end of twenty years, it has reached the common standard ; 6th, The necessary funds to be obtained by subscriptions opened in Italy and in other countries, and by the institution of an anonymous society, with a capital to be deter mined, divided into small shares to be imbursed at certain periods by drawings ; 7th, The Government and Hellenic Bok shall take a certain number of shares sufficient for the first expenses ; Bth, Agricul tural instruments, machines, seeds, &c., for the society shall enter free of duty during three years. If thr above plan be approved, a commission is to be named to carry it into execution. MONEY and COM "4 " CITY, QUAR7'EIe TO THREE. There was a very active market for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday. The sales wero estimated at from 30,000 to 35,000 bales, including 20,000 American, at 41d. to 7d.; 2,000 Pernam and Maranham, at 58d. to 6d.; 2 000 Egyptian, at 6d. to 7d.; 6,000 Surat, at 44d. to 4,W.; and 500 &a Island at 100. to ls. 4d. per lb. Of the above there were 11,500 bales taken on speculation, viz., 6.000 bales American, 1,500 Egyptian, and 4,000 Surat. The market was excited during the :'ay, and an advance of id. per lb. took place on the pric: a of Monday, making prices id. per lb. higher than oa Friday last.—Railway Shared were dull at lower quotations. Tue six weeks' average price of Wheat is 435. Id. per quarter, and the quantity sold in the provincial markets, which regulate the duties, is 128,149 quarters. Our Continental advices received to-day are of a meagre character. At, Amsterdam the negotiations for the formation of a new Ministry were still going on. The Bourse was rather feeble. Dutch Twceand-a-flulf per Cents. 531 to 15-16ths. Other securities were neglected. At Frankfort, on the Bth inst., the Austrian Five per Cents, were 904. The task of giving an opinion concerning the value of property, funded or other, is at all times invidious, and the office is the more difficult, because there are two par ties to be considered, the public and the holders. As a general rule, we adhere stringently to the course of warning the former, wherever we think they incur a risk, and this will at once explain the course that we have felt it our duty to adopt in reference to Buenos Ayres bonds. A correspondent, who is either a speculator or a holder, and in either case must possess the very motives, viz., those of interest, which he falsely imputes to us, is not right either in his assumption that our remarks were the result of ignorance. Because we do not lend ourselves to puff up a Stock upon which no interest has been paid from almost the period of contracting the loan, we incur, forsooth, the displeasure of this said correspondent, who affirms that he " happens to know there is every prospect, if France does not, by her intrigues, hinder the set tlement of the unhappy difference between England and Buenos Ayres, of an early recommencement of the payment of the dividends and a very great en hancement of its value." And because our correspondent happens to know" this, the public are to rush in and buy the Stock at 45, when other securities that have paid for years are to be bought cheaper. But there is to be " a very great enhancement of its value." Likely enough, and if people choose to run the risk they may make money, " always providing," however, that they do not remain as the stepping -stone for others to profit by, and realise in the scramble with the rest. The Dictator of Buenos Ayres presides over a confederation of States which we willingly admit have the means to pay, but he is himself merely a capricious tyrant, who heartily despises England and France, and none the less, we may be sure, because he has succ ee d e d i n b eard i ng both. If any confirmation were needed of the value of our opinion as to the intrinsic worth of Buenos Ayres bonds, we would merely refer to merchants who have long re sided in the Argentine Republic; but as we have no wish to dishearten holders, but rather would encourage them to hold on, in the hope that something may turn up, we would simply add that it is not a security in which the surplus funds of the widow or orphan could be safely placed, and that our correspondent has no title to question the reasons that induce us to give this caution, any more than we have to blame him for maintaining " that there will be a very great enhancement." A letter appeared - some days since in a contemporary, the Morning Chronicle, we be lieve, asking how it was, that although fluctuating quo tations were given daily for Buenos Ayres Bonds, he could never find, upon inquiry of his broker, that any thing was doing in them, or at least to nearly the extent implied. Perhaps our compleining correspondent will seek the explanation from some of the jobbers, who, having made a good harvest by running up the prices, exp- (tied recently to be as successful by putting them down. The proprietors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company have just held their gener4l meeting, and al though their report shows a slight falling off in receipts compared with the first half of last year, this is not sur prising, looking at the depressed state of the West India colonies, and the Havannah quarantine. The dividend declared is 2/. per share. The English Funds have been heavy again, although the Revenue accounts are favourable, and it is shown that upon the year there is a surplus income of more than halt a million. Whether, betore the period when the financial year is considered to terminate, say about April, there may be an alteration in this respect, remains to be seen. Consols have b een 92e , and are now about 921 to 922. There have been special trans fers ex dividend in the New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. at 92f to 922, and in the Reduced Three per Cents. at 90 to 914. Bank Steck is worth 196. Ex chequer-bills have been 41s. to 445., and Indian Bonds 795. to 82s. premium. The Foreign Securities have been very dull. Spanish Three per Cents. are 341, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 30; Mexican Bonds have been 264, and Bra zilian 83 to 84 ex dividend. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been steady at 54. We regret to state that the Railway Share market is again worse this morning, and upon the report of a con tinued diminution of receipts compared with the corre sponding week of last year. No doubt the cholera, and the partial diversion of traffic by branches, has had much to do with this. Great Western are Ito 1 lower than yesterday. Midland, I and North Western 21., these being the lines most effected, though others are also flatter. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCE. (From the Official List.)

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The following letter from Madame MADEasrAcx, which appears in the Wanderer of Vienna, com pletely confirms the accounts which we have given of the atrocities perpetrated by the woman-floggers who rule over the red monarchy of Austria, the authen ticity of which some of the Russo• Austrian prints in this country have ventured to deny. The editor of the Wanderer vouches for the authenticity of the document, which is as follows : " Ruskby, Sept. 18. " I will narrate to you the fate of my family with calmness and composure, for my heart is become stone. In our neighbourhood an army of Hungarians surrendered, 10,000 men with 40 cannon. Two days later the Austrian troops entered our town. They consisted of a detachment of Lichtenstein light horse, commanded by Captain a native of Ruskby. It is possible that the great domestic happiness which I enjoyed may have stirred envy and gained me enemi-s in Ruskby, but of no other crime am I guilty. Two families, low and coarsely bred, and --, set this captain on this horrible crime. I was torn from the arms of my husband, from the circle of my children, from the halloo ed sanctuary of my home, charged with no offence, allowed no hearing, arraigned before no judge. I, a woman, wile, and mother, was, in my own native town, before the people accustomed to treat me with respect, dragged into a square of soldiers, and there scourged with rods. Look, I can write this without dropping dead. But my husband killed himself. Robbed of all other weapons, he shot himself with a pocket pistol. A cry of horror filled the air. I was dragged further to Karansebes. The people rose, and would have killed those who instigated these horrors, but their lives were saved by the interference of the military. My eldest son was taken prisoner with the army of Georgey, and sent as a common soldier into Italy; and so is the measure of my grief full. Can you picture to yourself the state of my mind? You knew not my husband. I tell you that no nobler, more elevated, more adorable character does or ever will exist. The productions of his intellect are known. He was the inventor of iron bridges. In him the world has sustained a great loss. My misfortune is boundless, and unexampled are the tortures which I have endured. My grief will be eternal. You will conceive that I can dwell on nothing but my sorrow. One only wish still animates me—to liberate my son. They have transported him to Gratz. If you have friends there, think of my poor boy of eighteen. _ _ ‘‘ F. VON MADERSPACH." The Austrian officer who superintended the flogging of Madame MADERSBACK was Captain GRADER. A letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Indepen danc• of Brussels, says—" The subscriptions to the new Austrian loan have exceeded the amount (60,000,000 florins to 72,000,000 florins) fixed by the Minister of Finance. On the closing on the 4th they amounted to 62,000,000 florins, without counting those made abroad, which are calculated at about 30,000,000 florins; Amsterdam alone has subscribed from 10,000,000 florins to 15,000,000 florins. The amounts taken by the houses of ROTHSCHILD and SINNA are now stated to be 5,000,000 florins each." On the 2d of October the National Bank of Vienna had 27,510,966 florins cash in hand, and 2,58,425,294 florin notes in circulation. The amount of notes is 924,649 florins less than on the 2 , 1 of September, whilst the diminution of cash is only 126,924 florins. The amount of advances made to the State was 221,370,034 florins. The Austrian Government has, it is said, resolved to make a political and administrative separation of Bukowine and Gallicia. Marshal RADEllZKlrrived at Presburg on the 4th. Prince TSCHERNETSCEIOFE, Russian Minister of War, has been appointed Grand Cross of the order of St. Stephen of Hungary. A letter from Pesth of the Ist announces that KOLOST, one of the murderers of General Lamberg, had arrived in that city laden with irons. The Gazette de Tos, of the 7th instant, contains a letter from Vienna of the 4th, in which it is stated that the Austrian Government is disposed to uphold the POPE in his projects for the political re-organiza tion of the Roman States, and to put at his disposal the troops in Italy. The army under General WIMP FEN has received orders to march into the Romagna ; and Count ESTEMIAZY, the Austrian Ambassador to his HOLINESS, has received the necessary instructions by a special courier. TURKEY. The French Journal des Debats publishes the fol lowing letter from Constantinople, dated 25th Sep tember "As I mentioned in my former letter, it was on the morning of the 17th that the Russian and Austrian Ministers made known the rupture of their relations with the, Porte. Prince Radzivil left on the 17th by the packet from Odessa. lie was to have been received in the course of the day by the Sultan, but in conse quence of his abrupt departure, his audience to take leave was erased from the programme. If what is said of the first audience be true, the Sultan would not be much concerned at not having had to grant a second, It would appear that Prince Radzivil, more accustomed to carry military orders than diplomatic messages, confined himself on entering the presence of the. Sultan to give a mi litary salute by carrying his right hand slowley to the top of his hat. The Sultan demanded through the Minister of Foreign Affairs an explanation of such an unusual proceeding, when the Prince replied that it was ' the military salute ; to which the Sultan in his turn re plied that the Prince was not received as a General but as an Envoy Extraordinary charged with a diplomatic mission. If this anecdote be true, Prince Radzivil opened his campaign badly,and the Sultan would have given a les son of politeness to the aide-de-camp before giving one of humanity to the Emperor. Fuad Effendi, who has been charged to carry the reply of the Sultan to the Emperor is by this time en route for St. Petersburgh. It was im possible to have made a better choice. Fuad Effendi speaks French fluently. Ile is a very intelligent man, with great sang-froid, pleasing manners, distinguished address, and great aptitude for business (he has succes sively represented the Porte at London, Madrid, and Lisbon; ; in a word, he is considered to be a man equal to any difficult position. .A.bdulhy Effendi, the chief physician of the empire, who did not attend the council on the plea of ill health, but really because he would not stn the minutes of the last council, being strongly de voted to Russia, has been dismissed and replaced by a young physician, Salih Effendi, brought up at the school at Gall' a• Serau, and who bears a very high reputation. The attitude of the Porte is calm, and the spirit of the people excellent ; there is not the slightest symptom of uneasiness in the public mind. Every one, on the contrary, congratulates the Sultan and his Ministers on having shown firmness and resolution on a question of humanity, and which so highly interests the dignity and honour of the country. It is positively stated that the Polish refugees are about to be sent to Choumla, the Ilungarians remain at Widdin. As to the Italian refugees, to the number of 400 or 450, no one claims them, and the Porte is devising means to make them quit the territory." The Austrian Lloyd's announces, on authority of a letter from Semlin of the Ist, that the insurgents of Bosnia have arranged their differences with the Tur kish Government, the latter having abandoned the tax of which they had complained. HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBURG. THE HAGUE, OCT. 8.-111 S MAJESTY being unable to open the session in person, that office was per formed by Prince HENRY. His Royal Highness took his seat by the side of the vacant throne, and made the following speech in a firm and distinct voice : " Gentlemen,—lt was the desire of the King Grand Duke to open the present session in person, but he is detained at the Hague by imperious and unlooked-for circumstances ; he has accordingly commissioned me to replace him in his prorogation, and to open the present session inihis name. S " Gentlemen,—lt i s w ith li ve ly satisfactio n th a t I find myself in th e m id st o f t h e goo d popu l at i on o f Lux emburg, and I am h appy to b e th e i n terpreter of th e overe2gn, in convey i ng to you the sentiments of his goodwill and affe c ti on . Th e s erious events which took place last y ear s h oo k the f oun d at i on o f a grea t p ar t o f Europe, have left the Grand Duchy unscathed, thanks to the moderation of its inhabitants, and thanks also to the exalted and magnanimous wisdom of his Majesty, the late King Grand Duke, my dearly beloved father, whose memory I rejoice to see so gratefully cherished by the Grand Duchy. " His Majesty will not lose sight of every interest which may affect Luxemburg in its relation to Germany, while vigilant to maintain the rights of sovereignty and nationality of Luxemburg on the basis of existing treaties. " His Majesty desires to preserve in tact that sacred trust which, by virtue of his birth and the constitution to which he has sworn, has been placed in his hands. " The country, happily, is also in a great measure exempt from that depreciation of commerce, trade, and prosperity, which everywhere prevails. The inhabitants of Luxemburg, by their love of order and economy, have rendered such effects less disastrous than they have been in other countries. " The financial state of the country is satisfactory, the public services are insured without effort by the ordinary resources; these services are conduct!d with regularity under the inspection of an Administration devoted to the interests of the country. " Those grand means of communication which in these days are indispensible in any country which is anxious to prosper, are everywhere accessible from the Grand Duchy. Luxemburg may very soon expect to benefit by the advantages which railways confer on those coun tries which possess them. "In opening the present session, I am happy to ex. press to you that the principles of order, law, imparti ality, conservation, and honour, will invariably form the basis of the policy of your King Grand Duke; and his Majesty is persuaded that he shall not lack your support in cerrying out these principles. His Majesty and the Government find in the Legislative Assembly or the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, cordial and loyal con. currence. _ "By this means, and in the maintenance of these principles, which Luxemburg has hitherto persevered ITAL Y. A letter from Rome of the 30th ult. states that the POPE had sent a manifesto to that city, reminding his subjects that they owe obedience only to their legiti• mate Sovereign, and that everything that may emanate from other parties will he treated by him as void and of no effect. General ROSTOLAN refused to permit the publication of this manifesto lest it should excite too strongly the indignation of the army. The same letter announces that 3,000 Spaniards had left Velletri for Narni, where they were to form a junction with a corps of Austrians. These Spaniards committed the most horrible atrocities on their march. The diligences which arrived at Rome on the 30th had all been pillaged by these honest defenders of the cause of order and moderation. The Giornale di Roma of the Ist publishes the fol lowing notification : "French soldiers have from time to time been exposed to attempts at assassination, i❑ which cowardice was combined with brutal hatred; groups of armed indivi duals have joined to assassinate a single man. Such crimes deserve exemplary punishment. The councils of war will try the culprits. These deplorable facts prove that the surrender of arms has not been complete, and that a great many individuals have found means to elude the directions of the military authorities. In order to ensure the full execution of the above measures and prevent new crimes, the General-i- Chief orders as follows : —Art. 1. From this day 24 hours are allowed for the sur render of arms of every description by those who have not a special license from the French authorities. A. proper place is appointed to receive the arms at the Pre fecture of Police.—Art. 2. Tuesday afternoon, domiciliary visits will take place in those houses which aro con sidered suspicious. Every individual found with arms in his possession, or concealing them, shall be imme diately brought before a court-martial, and his sentence shall be promptly executed.—Art. 3. The manufacture, sale, and exhibition of poniards, swords, stilettos, knives, sword-sticks, or any other arms, are severely prohibited, and transgressors incur the application of Art. 2 con mums: possessors of arms. " General-in-Chief, ROSTOLAN. " Rome, Sept. 30." The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin of the sth was almost entirely taken up with the discussion of a law intended to modify the Civil Code of Piedmont, with respect to the right of foreigners to acquire land. The first article was passed. A member having expressed his fears that under such a law English capital might buy up the whole country, a voice was heard to cry " So much the better !" There was a grand funeral ceremony celebrated on the sth in the Church of St. Lawrence at Genoa fur the reception of the body of his late Majesty CHARLES ALBERT. All the Foreign Consuls were present except the Russian Consul. The remains of the KING were afterwards conveyed to Pontedecimo, en route for Turin, where they were expected to arrive on the 12th. TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES THE HUNGARIAN NATION COUNTS ON THE SYMPATHY OF EVERY NATION WHICH LOVES RIGHT ♦ND Ll- BERTY."—Kossuth's Protest against Russian Interven tion. Subscriptions may be sent to the following bankers:— Messrs. Coutta and Co. Messrs. Drummond. Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith ; or to any one of the members of the committee formed to carry out the Testimonial. **All further Post-office orders to be made payable toMurdo Young, Esq., at the Money Order Office, Strand. Subscriptions already received ... £1,106 19 HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Macready performed hamlet at this theatre last evening, and was quite as enthusiastically received as he was on Monday. The house was again crowded to suffocation, not a place from which there was even a chance of catching an occasional glimpse of the stage being unoccupied. Macready acted the part with great care, and in the third act more especially produced an immense effect. The scene with his mother was splendidly given. He was well supported by Mrs. 'Warner, whose Gertrude was very fine, and by Miss P. Horton, whose Ophelia is a most exquisite piece of pathetic acting. Mr. Macready and Mrs. Warner were both called forward at the conclusion of the tragedy. METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.—In The Sun of yesterday it was stated that the Metropo litan Commissio❑ of Sewers, issued at the commence ment of the present year, had been determined by writ of supersedeac. We are now enabled to state that a new commission has been directed to the following persons:— Viscount Ebrington, M.P.; Major-General Sir John Burgoyne, K.C.8.; Sir Henry de la Beche, F.R.S.; Robert Stephenson, E,q., M.P.; Samuel Morton Peto, M.P.; Lieutenant-Colonel Alderson, Royal Engineers; Philip Hardwick, Esq.; Captain Vetch, Royal Engi neers; J. M. Rendel, Esq.; Captain Harness, Royal Engineers; Thomas Hawes, Esq.; Captain R. K. Daw son, Royal Engineers; and Edward Lawes, Eiq., bar rister-at law. Last night Mr. Artis gave his first elocutionary entertainment, entitled " A Night with the Poets," at the Freemasons' Tavern; he successively introduced— Poetry—Definition—Orin of Poet r y —Effi cacy o f it -Readings from Milton's ig " Paradise Lost "—Poets—Re- Marks on them—The Dying Slave—M. Lewis—" The Captive," in the first part. The second part consisted of—Remarks on Shakspere's King Lear—Readings from that Tragedy. The entertainment was listened to very attentively throughout by a very crowded and delighted auditory. We hope soon to have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Arris again. Mr. More O'Ferrall had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. Do., New Guar. 6 per cent. 10 - Do. Liverpool and Bu: y... 46 Do.
