blishment, in which he hopes to build more than one vessel for the Austrian navy. A sum of 16,000,000 florins, which would be required to in crease the navy, is no doubt, a large one ; but we must not forget that it would give immense ac tivity to maritime enterprise, and open a career to thousands of Austrians. From the moment at which Austria shall have a powerful navy, the coasts will be bound more firmly to the rest of the Empire. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin states, from Florence, that Giacomo Castrucci, who has declared himself to be the murderer of the Pontifical gendarme at Rome, is still kept in prison, and has been already examined several times. He has not only persisted in his declaration, but has adduced much circum stantial evidence in support of it. On being asked - why he had not surrendered before, he answered that he could not, but that he had hoped to be able to save Locatelli from the scaffold, having been assured that he was not to be executed before the 29th ult. A letter from Turin says :—" Mention has been made of a note on the affairs of Rome drawn up by Baron Ricasoli and presented to M. Bene detti. An article in the Opinione speaks of this document, and explains in what respect the propositions made in it were considered too liberal by the French Government. The object of this communication is to declare anew to the Italians that it will be very imprudent to leave the door open for the intervention of the Catholic Powers in Italian affairs, by placing the position of the Pope under their guarantee. An immediate result is not expected here, and no great importance is attached to the negotiations which are going on, except as a means of winning over the public opinion of Europe to the Italian cause. As to the reception which the propositions, though so liberal, will obtain from the Court of Rome no one entertains any illusion. The news that the chief of the Dutch Cabinet has succeeded in making the two Chambers of Hol land accept his explanations respecting the recog nition of Victor Emmanuel as King of Italy has caused great satisfaction here. ROME. A letter from Rome has the following : " I have received from a reliable source the following particulars of what passed at Veroli on the night of the 22d. You are aw are that Veroli is a small town, surrounded with old walls, situated near the Neapolitan frontier, just beyond Frosinone. Veroli is occupied by a detachment of the 19th Regiment of the line, commanded by a captain, who is especially charged to keep a watchful eye on what passes in the direction of Sora, On the 22d the captain was informed that a convoy would pass that way in the evening with arms, ammunition, and money sent from Rome to Chiavone. He therefore ordered a lieutenant to place an ambuscade of twenty men at a point which appeared most favourable for intercepting the convoy. The lieutenant and his men lay quiet till an hour past midnight, when they heard the convoy approaching, and would have completely surrounded it, but for the barking of a dog which had followed the French soldiers. The Bourbonists, who were seven in number, discharged their mus kets at the French detachment, and then took to flight. One of the soldiers was shot through the chest and fell dead. One of the brigands fired at the lieutenant when almost close to him, but fortu nately without effect. The French then pursued the fugitives, but only caught their leader. concealed behind a hedge. This man was found to be a young captain of the late Royal army, named Ricci. The convoy was found to consist of forty muskets and 3,000 fr. in French silver and gold, supposed. to have come direct from the Legitimist committee." HAYMARKET THEATRE. A new farce, entitled " Paul Pry Married and Settled," was produced for the first time last even ing. It has evidently been written either by or for Arr. C. Mathews, as in him centres the whole of the action. His pourtrayal of the illustrious Paul as a married man is highly comical, and created im rnensa laughter, and therefore the end aimed was arrived at. Certainly no other actor on the boards could produce similar effects. Mr. Booth appears on Monday next as Sir Giles Overreach. This gentleman's performances and the new comedy "The Soft Sex," have attracted very large and fashionable audiences during the week. NEWMARKET RACES—(This Day.)

MARK ET AND CITY NEWS'. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England return, completed to the 2d October, is not of quite so satisfactory a charac ter as was generally anticipated. The bullion shows a slight diminution, and there is a decrease of upwards of a million sterling in the reserve of notes. The other securities, also have been aug mented, consequent upon the preparations made to meet the engagements due on the 4th of the month. The public deposits, owing to the payment of offi • cial salaries and other disbursements usual at this season, have been lessened by about a million, while the active circulation has consequently been largely augmented. The other items of the balance sheet exhibit little change of importance; they will be seen in the subjoined table:— Active Circulation. £21,087,955 Increase .. 1,114,375 Stock of Bullion .. 14,124,626 Decrease . • •• •• 117,615 Rest .. • • .. .. 3,809,537 Increase .. .• • • • • 13,517 Public Deposits • • .. .. 4,909,918 Decrease .. .. 900,506 Other Deusits.. 12,115,942 Increale •• •• •• 158,134 Seven Day and other Bills .. 748,891 Increase .. 57,423 Government Securities .. 10,733,123 Increase .. 282,323 Other Securities 17,717,494 Increase .. 278,235 Notes unemployed 6,922,565 Decrease .. 1,185,350 A further small supply of good—viz., £7,000, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. An instalment of 20 per cent. becomes due on the New Indian Loan on the 22d inst- There is rather less demand for money to-day, ample provision having been made for the engage ments due to-day, the 4th of the month. The market, however, presents a firm appearance. During the last few days business has continued moderately active in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Tea at public sale realised previ ous values, while full rates were obtained for sugars, coffee, and cocoa. Rice, however, remained dull, but a fair business was done in fruit and spices, without any material alteration in quotations. Saltpetre has been neglected, but increased anima tion has prevailed in the tallow market, prices generally showing an upward tendency for both present and forward delivery. Increased activity prevailed in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, and prices were firm. The sales amounted to 15,000 bales. The market for Public Securities has under gone very little variation to-day, the few dealings entered into for transfer and speculation having failed to influence prices to any material extent. Consols have been steady at 921 93 for transfer, about 93 for the 10th inst., and 93-} for November. The New Threes are firm at 918; the Reduced steady at 901 91 ; Exchequer Bills, March, at par. to 3s. prem. ; and the June flat at 7s. prem. ; India 5 per Cent. Loan has improved to 1038, but the Bonds remain at 1 le. to 13s. prem. A fair amount of business has been transacted in the Foreign Market, and prices show no important variation. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 841 to 85 ; ditto, 1858, 68/ 69 ; Mexican have been 24, but are now 26i e ; and Spanish are fiat at 498 ; Buenos Ayres have improved to 86 ; Brazilian to 991 ; and Venezuelan are firm at 20t. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and rather less firmness has been ex hibited in prices. Eastern Counties and Midlands have receded 55., and Caledonians and Great Wes terns, 10a. , North Eastern (Berwick) and South- Easterns have improved 55., and Lancashire and Yorkshire, 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines continue at steady rates—South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene tian. however, advanced 55., and East Indian, Great Indian Peninsula, and Punjaub brought former prices.

Verses wonderful for a milkwoman no longer excite an interest ; and the poetry of ploughboys is prized, if at all, for its keen and clear reflection of nature, and not be cause it proceeds from a ploughboy. Elliott of Sheffield proved that good poetry wins fame for a blacksmith as for a nobleman or gentleman ; but the self-made men among the poets are, and will be, fewer and of a higher order than for merly. 'We do not look for a Burns twice over ; but of Bloom fields an d Clares we shall hear less than our fathers.d id ; and mere rhymesters, like some who made a great noise in the last century, are obliged to withdraw their pretentions, as we see in the instance of Close of Kirkby-Lonsdale, who would once have been a great man for life, after the Prime Minister had spoken of him as being in the same category with Burns." THE QUEEN'S PRIVATE VISIT TO FETTERCAIRN. —The ladies of Fettercairn are wroth that the Queen should have stayed over all night in the village without their knowing it or seeing their Sovereign. Some, too, who keep lodgers are thinking over the appearance and looks of certain gentlemen who resided with them on that memo rable night, with a view of seeing whether they may have been among the honoured. At one house, where a stranger slept, the good lady orderei all the bedclothes to be religi ously put by, and preserved for ever and ever, in the hope that the stranger was the gallant Prince Louis of Hesse, which he wasn't. On being undeceived she called out from the top of the stairs, in an agitated but effective manner, " Jeanie, woman, wash th' oboes, the chield was only a commercial traveller."—Caledonian Mercury. THE ASSASSINATION AT NEWCASTLE. --The in quest upon the body of Mr. Mark Frater, collector of as sessed taxes, who was brutally murdered on Tuesday morn ing in Blackett-street, under circumstances a lread y detailed in The Sun, was opened at the Eldon Arms Inn, on "Wednesday evening, before Mr. Hoyle, coroner The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder. AN ADDRESS TO RAILWAY PORTERS.—The Gloucester lotirnal has the following :—A wag, who sent a cask per r a il way, a few days ago, and who had hear d some thing of th e propensities of railway goods porters, a dd e d the followi ng caution upon the address Ye rail way c h aps perhaps may think This cask is beer —taste not—'tis ink I" EVERY LITTLE HELPS.—A Berlin correspondent of the Independence says :—" The agitation for the Ger man fleet increases in extent every day. The Committee of the National Association at Coburg has just forwarded to the Minister of Marine at Berlin the sum of 10,000 florins, destined for the construction of gunboats. A brisk sub scription is going on at Berlin, and, indeed, all through saermaay." LYCEUM THEATRE. Mr. Falconer's comedy of " Woman" still con tinues highly attractive, notwithstanding it is now tome eight weeks since its first production. For a " new and original" comedy a run for such a length of time is nowadays somewhat extraordinary, but the intrinsic merits of the work and the ability of the actors easily account for such a prosperous state of affairs. Mrs. Bowers, who new sustains the part of the heroine Geraldine, has evidently well studied the part, and plays it with great effect. Mr. Vezin's impersonation of the hero, the Hon. Mr. Arden, maintains all that freshness and vigour which so particularly marked it on the first night of the representation of the comedy ; and Mr. Walter Lacy and Mr. Addison each improve, if that be possible, in their respective parts. The business has been so successful that Mr. Falconer has taken the theatre for some time, and various novelties are announced for representation. We cordially congratulate the talented manager, author, and actor on his success. OLYMPIC THEATRE. The company at this theatre has been augmented by the addition of Mr. Henry Neville, Mr. W. J. Ray, and Miss Florence Hayden, and last night a new petite drama was produced to introduce them to the audience. The piece was entitled " Jat:lc of all Trades," and was most favourably received. The drama was put upon the stage with singular beauty and completeness. ST. ZINES.S THEATRE. Mr. Alfred Wigan commences his second season at this theatre on the 14th inst., with a very excel. lent company, Mr. George Vining is stage manager; and rumour speaks highly of the novelties that have been accepted by the management. THEATRICALS IN HOLY WEEK.—In future the compulsory closing of theatres in Lent is to be limited to Good Friday. The announcement of this change was offi cially made on Monday last at the special annual court held at St. James's -palace, by the Lord chamberlain, for the purpose of grantin g the yearly licenses to the theatres. All w th e London managers of present, and the Lord Cham ber!ain informed them the determination which the exe and cu tive had arrived at, which would be set forth in their havingli cen ses. The managers h aving briefly expressed their grateful thanks for the indulgence, withdrew. We believe that the matter, which had beengunder consideration, was first moot ed b y Mr . John the injury which the old restriction Douglass, inflicted and pointed out ted upon the poorer employes of the theatres. DEATH FROM STRYCHNINE. --A, in es t WAS held on Tuesday last at Witheral, near Car lisle, body of William H oodless, four y ears o f age. Thoonohdd the had been ailing for s ome time, when Dr. Hendrie of Ca rd lisle, was consulted. He attributed its illness to worms, and prescribed a medici ne. It was given to the deceased in the form of a powder mixed up in some preserves. H alf an h our after it was taken the child fall on the floor, and died in violent convulsions. A 1:03€ mortem examination of the body was made by two medical me., who reported that death had resulted from a dose of strychnine. At the inquest Dr. Hendrie stated that he meant to administer Powders for worms from santonine. In his surgery, how ever, the santonine bottle and the strychnine bottle stood together. Both were covered with blue paper, and both were labelled, but the rain had got in and destroyed the writing. He had in consequence taken uti and used the wrong bottle. The jury found that the child had died from strychnine inadvertently administered by Dr. Hendrie. They recommended that he and all other doctors should have their bottles properly labelled. THE MURDERER GREEN ACRE.—The weapons with which Greenacre destroyed Mrs. Brown were not found until quite recently. In making the railroad from Dulwich to the Elephant and Castle, the excavators had to empty the cesspool of Greenacre's house, and therein they found a b u t c h er ' s k n if e an d t wo -f oo t crow b ar , with which he is supposed to have committed the murder.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS AND THEIR EXn,NSES- This was an action to recover a sum of money for ex penses and for wages in lieu of notice. Mr. Pook said his client was a commercial traveller, and defendant a warehouseman in Gresham-street, and the question for his Honour would be whether or not plaintiff was entitled to 245. 9cl. per day for travelling about the country, defendant insisting that 18s. or 19s. was sufficient. His. Honour —This is a case for a reference. Mr. Buchanan will put you to a strict proof of all the items. Mr. Pook—Mr. Buchanan suggested a reference, but I wish your Honour to try the case. We shall produce one bill, and your Honour will judge from that the general ex pense. Mr. Buchanan—l shall require proof of each item. After a short discussion, the legal gentlemen agreed to refer the case to Mr. 0. B. C. Harrison. His Honour—Very well, no one could do it better than Mr. Harrison. Referred. CURIOUS RUNNING DOWN CASE-JURY CASE-JOIINSON This was an action to recover a sum of money as damages sustained by plaintiff's horse and cab, through the alleged negligence of defendant's carman. Mr. Haynes called his witnesses, who swore that the cab belonging to plaintiff was going down the New-cut at the rate of four miles an hour, and a cart, belonging to the de fendant, driven at the rate of 10 miles an hour, dashed against it and seriously injured both cab and horse. The cab, indeed, was completely overturned. Mr. 0. B. C. Harrison, for defendant, called a police officer, who deposed that the cab was overturned in the middle of the road, and a lad who swore that it was not overturned at all. (Great laughter.) The police-constable farther said that plaintiff's cab was racing with another cab a very short distance (two or three feet) from it—and the lad said that the other cab was 15 yards a-head. (Re newed laughter.) The jury here stopped the case, and said they could not believe the witnesses called for the defence, and at once found for the plaintiff, his Honour allowing costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(this Day.) Two rough-looking fellows, named Driscoll and Crawley' were placed before Mr. Henry, charged with robbing a gentleman named Metcalfo of £3, a gold chain, and eye• glass. Yesterday afternoon the men were first charged with the offence. Mr. Metcalfe was not able to identify either of the parties, as he was seized from behind, and held while the robbery was committed. Driscoll denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said he had witnesses to prove that he had nothing to do with it. In order to allow him time to produce the evidence the case was postponed until to-day, when Driscoll called Charles Regan, who said he was sitting on a tub in the court in which he rosided, in Drury-lane, the night before last, when Driscoll said he had been told that some men had robbed a gentleman. He (witness) was intoxicated at the time, so he did not clearly remember the circumstances. Ho was sure, however, that Driscoll said he had heard of the robbery, and that he had not been concerned in it. Mr. Henry sail the evidence just tendered did not mate rially affect the case, as Regan admitted that he was drunk when Driscoll was talking to him. He did not think there was sufficient evidence at present, so he would dis charge the men, but he should require their attendance at the Court on Friday next. As the police knew where to find them, there would be no difficulty from that course. Mr. Metcalfe said he was quite ready to assent to any thing the magistrate proposed. He was happy to say his loss in money did not amount to over a sovereign and a half. Mr. Henry—But you were robbed of your gold chain and eye .glass.. Witness—Oh, yes, but that I think was taken from me in Oxford-street. Mr. Henry—How did you get into Oxford-street, coming from the London Tavern ? Witness—Well, sir, you see I am somewhat of a stranger in London, and having been with some gentlemen to arrange the preliminaries of a City dinner at the London Tavern, we, after transacting our business, sat down to a very quiet one for four, and afterwards prepared to go home. I had but two glasses of champagne out of the two bottles we had, so I could not have been intoxicated, and as I was going to my hotel in Covent-garden, I managed to lose myself. I bothered about first one place and then an other, and after getting into Air-s treet, Long -acre, and D rury - lane, I got to Little Russell-•street, where I was garrotted. I suppose, from the circumstance that I walked lame, the fellows thought I was a good article to get hold of. The fact is I do walk rather peculiar, but that arises from an injury I received some time ago to my thigh ; so I've nothing to keep me from " broaching to windward," as the sailors say. The prisoners were then liberated, but the police were directed to make further inquiries about them. EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN FOBRRT'S-PLACE.—James Summers, 6, Bailey-court, Holborn, was charged this morn ing with breaking and entering the house 1, Fobert's-place and stealing 198 shirts, 139 neckties, and a quantity of other articles, of the value of £56, the property of Mr. Golsworthy, hos. er ; John Newman, seaman, of the Sailor's Home, Ratcliffe, and Francis Anson, painter, of 96, Cro mer-street, were charged with being concerned in the same. About a dozen large bundles containing the property were produced in Court, which was much crowded. Sergeant Mullord, 339 A, said—About a quarter before three this morning, from information I received with Ser geant Kay, I followed the prisoners Anson and New man, up the west side of Regent-street, and into Beak street, where I saw the prisoners reconnoitring a house. I afterwards saw them stand near the door of 1, Fobert's place, and on being asked what they were walking about for, they said they had just come from the Haymarket. I, knowing that to be false, took them to the station with Ser geant Kay's assistance, and there Newman made a state ment to Inspector Rogers, saying he had known Anson some time, but from further information I went to 1, Fobert's-place, and with the assistance of Sergeants Ed wards, Harrison, and Kay, gained an entrance to the house with the assistance of a ladder, and there saw Sum mers, who was taken out by force by Barber, 59 C. In the room he discovered 10 bundles containing a number of shirts, neckties, &c. (the room was the one Summers was found in). On further search found the shop in confusion, things all thrown about, and some matches and a piece of candle. Sergeant James Kay, 293 A, after corroborating the pre vious witness, said—While searching the lower part of the house Summers was found in the upper. The shop was kept by a hosier. Giles Barber, 59 C, while watching the house, saw the shutters spring open, and found Summers crouched under the window in the parlour, and took him into custody, a number of bundles produced being already tied up for re moval. At the station I searched him, and found on his back a coat belonging to Mr. Golsworthy ; a large clasp knife, and on his feet a pair of new stockings, and on a shelf in the first floor this pair of old ones [considerable laughter was excited by the officer holding them up, they being nothing but rags], and a piece of wax taper. Mr. Golsworthy, the prosecutor, said all the articles produced are my property, and were all safe the night before in their places. Ido not sleep in the house. lam a shirt maker, and have just removed there. The value of the goods are worth at least £56. I have seen one of the pri soners before. I locked the shop up at half-past 9. I don't find any marks of violence about the place. Inspector Rogers—That is all the evidence, but I wish for a remand. The prisoners were accordingly remanded.

THE BUILDERS' STRIKE.—Not the slightest symptom of any termination to this unfortunate and long protracted struggle is yet apparent. The strike has now lasted for six months, and both parties appear to have made up their minds that it must continue through the winter. An understanding has been come to by the masters in union that as few contracts as possible shall be entered upon before the ensuing spring, and that to expedite those on hand the employers who have been fortunate in obtaining anything like an adequate supply of skilled labour shall assist by the transfer of that labour those who have been less fortunate. The supply of money to the operative's committees flows in very liberally, and they are enabled to keep up the pay ments of the diyidenda to the men at the maximum point. THE LOTION QUESTION AND THE SUEZ CANAL. A writer in a contemporary says :—Three years ago I pointed cut, at various public meetings, the insecurity of our tenure in America for future sup plies of the cotton ; at the same time alluding to the efforts made by the Cotton Supply Association to provide in time for any contingency calculated to stop these supplies by availing ourselves of the immense resources in India and elsewhere for the cultivation of cotton. At that period little encourage ment was held out to the movers in this matter, and, as is usually the case under such circumstances, their efforts were faint and led to no practical result. Now, however, that necessity stares us in the face—that we are threatened with a " cotton famine"—our exertions have assumed a colour of earnestness and zeal, which, whilst it augurs success, is not all that is required. The gee ' graphical position of America is what has enabled her to monopolise the cotton trade. Our eves are directed to India as a market (owing to its immense resources), fitted to become our great " cotton em porium," and ultimately render us independent of America for supplies. But here nature interposes a " barrier," against which, unless removed, we may vainly seek to contend—it is "distance." We cast our eyes on a neck of land which engineering skill can cut through; we know that once removed one half the distance to Bombay is saved, and the value of our Indian possessions considerably in creased. We also know by reports continually reaching - us that there are human beings busy on the spot toiling unceasingly to effect its removal, with all the mechanical contrivances of which the age is rife at their disposal. We are tutored to look upon these works with distrust. We see " fortifications" and " cannons" in perspective, which, like the mirage in the desert, dissolve on approach, leaving nothing to view but the figures of peaceable Arabs working at cuttings and embankments, and a silent caravan occasionally arriving with provisions. Surprised at our phantoms of distrust, we return home with feelings very different from those which before ruffled our prejudices against a work cal culated to benefit mankind. Surely the time has now arrived to make common cause with our neighbours in lending our moral support, if we do not wish to do more, to the com pletion of a water way through Egypt, which will be found in no small degree a solution of the difficulties the Cotton Association has to contend with in its endeavours to make India render us independent of America for our future supplies of cotton. By the last accounts upwards of 10,000 men were at work along the line; of these, 1,000 are employed in effecting a cutting. through Lake Ballah, destined to unite Kantara with Per dane, and thus place El Guisr in direct communi cation with the Mediterranean. At the same time a fresh water (branch) canal is being completed, and is expected to be opened to navigation before the departure of the next mail from Egypt. It runs between Raz-el-Wade and Ramses, a distance of 10 miles, and is considered most important for the conveyance of goods and provisions which had to be carried over-land. By this branch canal small craft will be able to penetrate to the valley of Goshen until within about 10 miles of Lake Timsah, thus opening a direct water-way between the very centre of the Isthmus with Cairo, Alex andria, and other parts of Egypt, and effectually doing away with the necessity of having recourse to camels for the transport of provisions in future. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. At our market to-day the supply of English wheat on offer was very moderate. For both red and white qualities the demand ruled inactive, yet, compared with the reduction reported on Monday, no change took place in prices. The show of samples of foreign wheat was tolerably ex tensive. All descriptions moved off slowly, at about previ ous currencies. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late rates. For all kinds of barley the trade was heavy, and the quotations had a downward tendency. Malt changed hands slowly, yet prices were fairly sup ported. Oats met a steady sale, and all sweet corn realised ex treme rates. For beans and peas there was a fair demand, at full quo tations. In flour sales progressed slowly, and, in some instances, the currencies were rather easier. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Wheat Barley. Malt Oats. Flour.

TEA.—At public sale there has been a fair inquiry for most qualities, and prices generally have shown an upward tendency. SUGAR.—The market has been active, and good grocery and refining qualities were in demand at fully late prices. COFFEE.—The supplies on offer have been somewhat large, but the demand has continued good, and late rates have been well maintained for all descriptions. RICE.—The inquiries have not been very extensive, but as holders are not pressing sales prices are nominally steady.
