THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. DENMARK. A Berlin letter of the 29th ult. says :—" It is positively stated that a confidential corrtmunication has been received from St. Petersburg concerning. the Danish Duchies, in which it is as serted that the restoration of the legal status in Holstein is unquestionably within the com petence of the Germanic Diet; but that the deci sion on the questions connected therewith would react in several points on Schleswick; and that, consequently, as Schleswick does not belong to the German iv-,-Confederation, and the two Duchies do not - wish to sever the Union which formerly attached them to each other, the best means of ter minating this untoward affair would be to refer it to a European conference. This conference would be able to form an impartial judgment on the in terests of Denmark, the Confederation, and the Duchies themselves, and decide all claims with justice and equity." MONEY MARKET A. 1 1 71) CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLock. Although there is rather less pressure for dis eDunt accommodation, an active business is still reported in banking circles, and the inquiries are likely to continue on an extensive sale until the January dividends are paid. A considerable amount now accumulated at the Bank of England will then be released, and the effect of the annual disbursements having partially subsided,a quieter feeling is likely to ensue ; but a great deal depends upon the advices from America, which, although better in tone, have not yet announced any decided improvement in monetary affairs at New York. Further remittances will no doubt be made in the course of the present week; but, in the meantime, upwards of three• quarters of a million sterling in specie has just arrived, which may be expected to counteract the immediate effect of such operations. The Great Britain will, no doubt, be followed very quickly by the Roxburgh Castle, which left the colony about 77 days ago, and may therefore be considered overdue. The steamer Atrato, which leaves to-day for the West Indies, will t ace out £4,400 in specie. The Mexican dollars brought by the Atrato have been sold at ss. ltd. per oz., being a decline of compared with the price realised for the previous supply. Intelligence has been received, this morning, to the effect that the Bank of France have raised their rate of discount from 41. to 5i per cent. This mea sure was expected owing to the relative value of money in this country, and the renewal of the un favourable specie movement in Paris, the demand for gold having revived. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. A general, though slight, advance was exhibited in the Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon. A meeting has been convened of the London and Westminster Bank proprietors, for the decla ration of a dividend and the election of three directors. At the meeting which has just taken place of the proprietors of the Colonial Bank, it was stated that, during the half-year ending June 30, a very satisfactory business had been transacted, resulting in a net profit, after providing for all contingen cies, of, £37,044 12s; ld., which, after allowing for a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, would leave a surplus of £12,044 12s. ld. to be added to the reserve fund, augmenting that item to £80,940 17s. 9d. The Edinburgh, which left this morning for New York, took out £106,000. The market for Government Securities has remained steady, but it is exceedingly dull, owing to the inactivity of speculation. Consols are 921 1, being firmer than might have been expected, con sidering the depression reported on the Paris Bourse and the increased stringency of money. The New Threes are steady at 921 a ; the Reduced at 921 ; Long Annuities at 161 ; India 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is 941; ditto 51 per Cent. 1001, and Exchequer Bills are 3s. discount. Continued quietude pervades the Foreign Stock Market, but prices show an improvement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711; ditto New 57*. kpanish Deferred have improved to 41 ; Russian 41 per Cents. to 93 ; and ditto 1860 remain at 901 to 91. Sardinian are flat at Kt. Business in the Railway Share Market has not been very active, but prices have exhibited more buoyancy owing to the favourable character of the traffic returns. Caledonian, Great Western, Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North-Eastern (York), have advanced 55.; Lancashire and York shire, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Eastern, 10s.; and Midland and West Midland, £l. The Foreign and Colonial lines have shown no material variation. South Austrian and Lombardo- Venetian realise 12/ ; and Northern of France, 39; Great Western of Canada are steady at 11 ; and Grand Trunk of Canada Preference Bonds were heavy at 75. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinue very inactive. Bank of Australasia have declined £1; and Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 10s. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent.

POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON AN HOTEL-XEEPER BY A. BEGGAR.—Geo. Carter, a tall, sturdy fellow, having only ono arm, and wearing a smock frscli, was charged before Mr. Beadon with assaulting Mr. Thonas Mason, 221, Piccadilly, hotel keeper, and also with assaulting Luke Jeffrey, 49 C. Mr. Mason said flat about 11 the previous night the prisoner, who had hen drinking, came into his house begging. He ordered Um out, and he loft, but immediately came in at another doer. He again ordered him out, when the prisoner put himself into a threatening attitude, became very abusive, tore his clothes, and kicked violently, using at the same time very bad language. Jeffrey 49 C, said ho was called to the prosecutor's house to take prisoner into custody. He came out of the house quietly, but in tie Circus, on the way to the station, he gave him a severe kck on the leg. Inspector Bowles, C division, said he knew the prisoner as one of a number similarly dressed, who went into pub lic-houses of a night bTging. Prisoner said becaus3 he wore a smock frock he was taken for somebody else, _ _ Mr. Beadon committed him for II days. Ile had been told to leave Mr. Masox's house, and when a constable was sent for to remove hm, lie thought proper to kick him. DR, CUMNING ON THE OLD YEAR: Last night, Dr. Cumming delivered a lecture at the National Scotch Church, Crown-court, Covent garden, his subject being "A Retrospect of the Year." Having selected as his text the 13th chap. of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, 12th verse, " The night is far spent, the day is at hand," he pro posed to inquire what were the symptoms that the night was passing away. Dr. Arnold, be said, had expressed his conviction that we were approaching the end of the world, and the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland (Lord Carlisle) that if the Book of Daniel were inspired it was evident that we were on the eve of the most stupendous events the world ever witnessed. He himself had said that looking to the various epochs mentioned by Daniel it might be gathered that the world would be at an end in 1867 or 1868, and this seemed to be plain, for Christ was born, as they had the authority of many writers for saying, in the year 4132, to which if 1860 were added it would show that we had nearly completed the 6,000 th year spoken of by the prophet, and should be close on 7,000, which was, to be the period of rest. Referring to Palestine, he said that from the heights of Lebanon to the sea, during 1 , 800 years, there had been nothing but dark ness, and yet in the year 1860 it came before the world as the great crisis of the East. Far different things were evidently in store for that land. The Emperor of Russia had had there 350,000 members of the Greek Church who were looking to him, while there were looking to the Emperor of the French 250,000 Roman Catholics. Considering the love he had for annexation, it was not impro bable that the Eldest Son of the Church—a very naughty son the Pope frequently found him—would would, at no distant time, consider that it would be well to annex Syria to France. This annexation if attempted would lead to a general war, for it would constantly be asked who was to have Pales tine, which was the gangway to India. Another evidence that the night was passing away might be found in Turkey; for in Turkey in Europe there were now nine millions of professing Christians, while there were only 21 millions of Mahom medans. Another evidence was to •be found in China. Whatever might be their judgment of the policy or principle of the late war, they would all agree that the sword, terrible as it was, had opened up a path for missionaries of the gospel, and access had been secured to a capital which for a thousand years had been pronounced unapproachable. With regard to the United States the rev. gentleman quoted from the New York Observer, and expressed an opinion that, under the guidance of Mr. Lincoln, the new president, the States would get rid of that which was a fever in the heart of America. Another evidence of the passing away of the night was to be found in Italy. When he preached at Exeter halinot long since, when his own church was being enlarged, he stated his conviction that the power of the Pope was on the eve of dissolution. Some of the newspapers made capital out of it, and ridiculed the idea that the mightiest power in Europe was in danger, but now the poor old man, the Pope, in his allocution was lifting up his hands in despair, and calling upon his foes as well as his friends for assistance. At present France appeared to be the protector of the Pope, but they might depend upon it that the French army was merely in Rome as a gaoler to the Pope, the intention being to despoil him of his temporalities. The Pope certainly would not continue in Rome with out temporal power, and the absence of the Pope from Rome would be the virtual dissolution of the whole Roman Catholic system. With regard to home affairs, the rev. doctor argued that "the day" is at hand by evidences gathered from th© revivals in Ireland, as well as the progress of religion in England and Scotland—eminent men as well as unlettered persons being engaged in preaching in theatres, concert-rooms, from omnibuses and cabs, and from the corners of the streets—as well as from the general spread of education amongst all classes of the people.

'IITAI‘IES. SI*GULAIt FRAUDS OT MONTHLY NURSM.—Margaret Doolan, alias Mead, about thirty years of age, a vulgar and dissipated looking Irishwoman, of 49, Reginald-street, Deptford, and who was described in the polieo-sheet as " cohabiting with a beer•seller," was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with obtaining £l, by false and fraudulent pretences, of Mrs. Margaret Daniels, a monthly nurse, of No. 6, Upper Storer-street, Stepney, a like sum of Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, a monthly nurse, of No. 20, Bonner's road, Victoria .road, Betinal-green, and various sums of other persons. Inspector Griffin, of thb K division of police, said he had already five charges against the prisoner, and he believed there would be many more if she was remanded for a few days. Mrs. Daniels said the prisoner introduced herself to her a few days ago at No. 6, Upper Storer-street, and asked her if she was not a monthly nurse, to which she replied in the affirmative. The prisoner asked her if sho had not to attend upon a lady at the end of January, and witness said that the accouchement of one of her ladies was expected about that time. The prisoner said that the lady had met with an accident and injured her back, and that the services of witness were immediately required. Believ ing that the prisoner was telling the truth, and that she was attending to a lady she was engaged to nurse at Camden-town, she dressed herself immediately and pre pared to depart. The prisoner said she was directed by the lady to lay out 9a. 6d. in the purchase of various things, and asked her for the money, which she said the lady would repay on reaching her house. Witness had not sufficient in silver, and gave the prisoner a sovereign. The prisoner accompanied her to tke railway station at Stepney, and she went to Camden-town and found she had been hoaxed. Mr. Yardley—The lady was quite well, I suppose ? Witness—Yes, sir, and did not want me. Mr. Yardley—The lady had not sent for you ? Witness—No, sir. I was very credulous, and ought to have asked that artful woman a few questions, ankthen I should have found out sho was a swindler. Mrs. Johnson, another monthly nurse, said that a simi lar imposition had been practised upon her by the prisoner, who obtained a sovereign from her. Mr. Yardley—You were hoaxed by the prisoner? Witness—l was, sir. She said a lady whom lam en gaged to nurse at the proper time was ill and wanted me immediately. Mr. Griffin—There are three other charges, sir. I have not all the evidence at present. The prisoner made no defence. Mr. Yardley remanded her until Monday next. "OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT AT THE SEAT OF WAR." (From Punch.) The post of newspaper correspondent, besides being responsible, has become dangerous. In their published letters these gentlemen are modesty sparing of allusion to any personal mishaps, but their hair-breadth escapes and adventures all over the world would fill a volume. One ready writer was all but shot as a spy during the Carlist war. It required strong intercession to save the life of another who was taken, note-book in hand, when the Danes and Schleswig-Holsteiners were at loggerheads. In the Russian war the letters of a third, who was at Shumla with Omar Pacha, were nearly brought to a close by half-a-dozen Bashi- Bazouks—these gentry assailing him with hatchets and muskets for his unwarrantable interference when they were stealing his straw. Special cor respondents of the limes were cooped up in Silis tria and in Kars, and endured all the privations and perils of those memorable sieges. At Kalafat a troop of Cossacks made a swoop upon the corre spondent of the Daily News, who escaped only by his free use of whip and spur. The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle was nearly frozen to death in travelling from Erzeroum te Kars. Mr. Woods was saved by a miracle from going to the botto m during that fearful November storm in the Black Sea, but happily survived to sketch the Atlantic cruise of the Agamemnon, and to describe in bril liant word-painting a great international visit. Mr. W. H. Russell must bear a charmed life, for after bronchial attacks and dysentery, induced by Crimean cold and exposure—after being nearly sabred by mutineer sowers in India, lamed by the kick of a horse, and struck down by a coup de soleil —he still weilds every week in the midst of us his graceful, genial pen. Later still, Count Arriva bene, the Italian correspondent of the Daily News, who could not resist the temptation of joining in a cavalry charge, was taken prisoner by the Neapo litans, and only restored to his friends when they had given him up for dead. Prootentorum pen eulorum dul c is est MC712071 . (1, as in the Latin gram mar it is written. But other writers at the seat of war have not been so fortunate. Poor Mr. Tucker, on the staff of the Illustrated London News, carried by his ardour into the thickest of the fight, was shot through the head before Capua. The last and saddest episode in this eventful chronicle is the fate of Mr. Bowlby, the special correspondent of the Times in China. The loss of such a man at such a time, and in such a way, is irreparable. Through his eyes all Eng land hoped to see the battles that were fought and the heroism that was displayed by her sons in the East; through him we hoped to get our first photograph of Pekin, our first impression of its palaces and people, our first glimpse of the Im perial Court, with its thronging mandarins and 'princes. How eagerly should we have read his description of the Summer Palace, with its glittering fountains, its miles of terraces, its won drous gardens, and the more than barbaric luxury and glitter within. How vigorously he would have recounted the sack and burning of this fanciful and costly structure. What a life-picture we should have had of the ratification scene at the Boards of Ceremonies. But this was not to be; and just as his tale was awaited here with the greatest expec tation, and had aroused the greatest interest, the narrator was struck cruelly down. We hope that no considerations of red-tape will prevent his bereaved family from sharing in the " compen sation money" so properly demanded from the Chinese Government. Mr. Bowlby was in China on the people's business, and lost his life empha tically in the public service; and the nation for whose information he wrote, and the army whose gallantry he recorded, surely owe some fitting tribute to his memory. However this may be, Mr. Punch, whose love of fun is ever less than his sympathy with misfortune, and whose laughter is sometimes close akin to tears, on his own and the public behalf deplores this public loss, and calls on his myriad readers to hold in kindly and in sorrowing remembrance the unhappy historian of the last Chinese war.

(From the Cope Monitor.) His Excellency Sir G. Grey has allowed the fol lowing highly interesting communication from the Consul at Zanzibar, in reference to Captain Speke and his exploring party in the eastern coast of Africa, to be published : British Consulate, Zanzibar, Aug. 23, 1860. My dear Sir George Grey,—Capt. Speke arrived here in the Brisk on tho 17th inst., and from him I have received the letter and books you so kindly sent me, and for which I feel very much obliged to you. Knowing the deep interest you take in every thing connected with Africa and its races, I have often wished to communicate to you subjects con nected with these parts of it, and will do so on every future opportunity, and also forward to you as often as I can information regarding the pro gress of Capt. Speke's expedition. I think ho has every chance of success in his favour. British in fluence has been very much increased here by the events of the last two years, especially by the active aid given to the Sultan by-British ships of war during the rebellion of his brother and the El- Harth tribe of Arabs. I have also lately eman cipated 4,500 slaves who were held by British Indian subjects. I have had all these slaves brought to the Consulate, and given to each a cer tificate of emancipation, with new dresses and pre sents of money and sweetmeats ; and all the tribes on the coast are now aware that the English are their best friends. The negroes of this part of Africa are a most good-natured, docile, merry race, and soon become very much attached to Europeans. I have aiot yet had time to study the Zooloo Caffre Dictionary you so kindly sent me, but in glancing over it I am surprised to find how many words are exactly the same as those of the Kisuahel language spoken throughout the Zanzibar dominions; and in lately reading Magyar's travels, I observed the same of the language spoken by the tribes of the West Coast, near Benguela, proving beyond a doubt, that the people of the whole continent as far north as the equator are of one original race. An Arab merchant, who has travelled across Africa from opposite Zanzibar to Loando, lately returned here, and he told me that the languages all across were so similar to that spoken here that his people had no difficulty in making themselves understood. Captain Spoke had dozens of volunteers to accom pany him directly his arrival was known, and many of his former companions are anxious to proceed with him. Dr. Roscher, a young German, who left Zanzibar in June last year, to explore the Lake of Nyassa, was murdered on the 19th of March last,• and his two murderers were beheaded her e this morning. He reached Nussera, on the east shore of the Lake of Nyassa, on the 19th of November, and remained there nearly four months , bein g treated with the greatest kindness by the Sultan and all the inhabitants. On the 16th of March he left Nussera to go to the River Rovooma, accompa nied only by two negro servants, and with no arms but a revolver. On the third day's march, while resting at a village, they were attacked by robbers, and poor Dr. Roseher was shot . the throat and chest by arrows, and expired in a few minutes. One of his servants was also shot; the surviving servant returned to the Sultan of Nussera on the Lake, and the scene of the murder being beyond his dominions he sent him with an escort to the Sultan Kinzo manza, in whose territories the murders occurred. This chief at once proceeded to the spot and arrested the murderers, and recovered as much of Dr. Roscher's property as he could, and sent the men here, together with all the articles Dr. Roscher had left as Nussera. Considering that no white man had ever befose visited these districts, and that Dr. Roscher had no escort, and 'no proonta for the chiefs, as he was very ill provided with money, I think the kindness with which he was treated by the chiefs and people is a strong proof of their good disposition towards white men. His unfortunate death was entirely owing to his own Imprudence in travelling through wild districts with valuable instruments, Sac., so entirely without any means of defence. Another German gentle man, the Baron Van der Decken, a colonel in the Hanoverian army, is now preparing for a journey to the Nyassa, and by him I intend sending some presents to the Sultan Nussera and the Sultan Kinzomanza, who behaved so nobly towards a soli tary and unprotected white traveller. Dr. Roscher said that it is a magnificent country all the way up to the lake, which he reached in 85 days from the coast. The Rovooma is crossed about six days before reaching the Nyassa, and is there a deep, broad stream. It discharges an immense body of water into the ocean, and is well worthy of being ex plored. While lately engaged in writing out the certificates of emancipation for these 4,500 slaves, I remarked that most of those who had been brought here from the coast, some years ago, belong to the tribes which inhabit the coast opposite Zanzibar, while those which have been brought here within the last few years are from the south, and belong to the great tribes of Mazindo, Mizzahow, and Nyassa, and I was then informed that most of the tribes which formerly furnished most of the slaves are now nearly extinct, and the country between the coast and the Lake Nyassa is fast bccorniniy g depopulated. An Arab merchant, who r ecent returned here from Nyassa, informe d me that he ry travelled for seventeen days thrthrougha country covered with ruined towns and villages, which a few years ago were inhabited b y the Nyassa and Mizzahow tribe s, and where now no living soul is seen. Last year 19,000 slaves were imported through the Custom house here; of these 4,000 Were from the coast opposite, and 15,000 from lieelwe, the 'lodination BRITISH POSS. Share Railways. .

Every year the slave traffic is extended further into the interior, and a great many :laves are now brought from beyond the Nyassa ; and even the Mazanza, from the valley of the Shir, are now brought here. lilt should ever be found possible to put a small steamer on the Lake Nyassa it would cut off the chief supply of slaves to the east coast. The foreign slave trade has lately been very much on the increase on the east coast. I have recently sent in the first returns of the trade of Zanzibar, which have been compiled here. In 1859 the imports at this port amounted to :—lmports, £908,911; exports, £753,666 ; total, £1,664,577, which is an excess of 83.5 per cent. over the trade of Aden, and of 16.5 per cent. on that of Kurrachee. This is now the chief market in the world for the supply of ivory, gum copal, and cloves. In 1859 the export of ivory amounted to 488,6001b5., value £144,666 ; of gum copal to 875,8751b5., value £37,166 ; and of cloves to 4,860,1001b5., value £55,666. This trade is all the growth of the last few years, and were the slave trade on the mainland abolished a great quantity of cotton, sugar, gums, &c., might be exported. Within the last few years they have commenced to grow sesamum on the mainland. Last year 8,388,3601h5. of sesamum were exported from here ; and 8,016,0001b5. of cowries, value £51,444, were exported from here to the west coast. The whole of this island is of exceeding fertility; sugar cane, cotton, cloves, nutmegs, pep per, coffee, rice, Holcuss sorghum, &c., grow in the greatest perfection. The cassava, or manioc, which forms the chief food of the slaves and poorer classes, yields three or four crops a-year without any trouble. Almost the whole of the trade hero is now in the hands of British Indian subjects; they have settle ments at all the towns on the coast and even far in the interior. The Arabs are a poor, debased, ignorant race, and are fast becoming confirmed drunkards. Persons bring out great quantities of cheap spirits. The climate of Zanzibar is net unhealthy, although from its excessive dampness and there being no cold weather, it is very enervating. The fall of rain last year amounted to 16.7 inches—more than double the annual fall at Bombay. The extreme range of the thermome ter during the year was only 19; and the mean range 7.9. The climate of Zanzibar has acquited a very bad reputation from the great amount of sick ness which prevailed among ships-of-war some years ago after coming here, but I believe it was chiefly owing to their taking supplies of water from I impure sources near the town. Now aqueducts ' have been constructed at some distance from the town, and they afford a never-failing supply of pure water. The crews of the merchant ships work all day in the sun, and never appear to suffer. The Sultan has also given an order to a Hamburg firm to keep up a supply of coal here for the use of any ships-of-war requiring it. I think that the Zanzi bar State may have a very important effect upon the future of East Africa. There are now from 5,000 to 6,000 industrious British subjects residing in it, and commerce is rapidly extending. I fear that I am troubling you with a very long letter on the subject of Zanzibar, which will severely tax your time and patience to peruse. " Believe me, my dear Sir George Grey, " Yours very truly, "C. P. RIGBY." GARIBALDI AT CARRERA. Alexandre Dumas publishes in his joureal, the indipendente, the following details of Garibaldi at Caprera : General Garibaldi left Naples with only 10 piasters in his pocket, or to speak more correctly, in the pocket of Basso, his secretary. General Garibaldi's pocket, quite the contrary to nature, which has the horror of a vacuum, has a horror of a plenum. On the observation made to him by Basso and his son, that the sum he was taking with him could not last long, the general answered : " The harvest has been good, we shall therefore have some corn ; and the kitchen garden was very promising in the spring. I left seven horses with Trecchi to sell, we can wait then for the next cam paign. Be satisfied." They embarked on the faith of these words—confidence in the mission ended, confidence in the mission to come. So he started. Om arriving at Caprera, instead of that pretended palace and rich gardens of Armida presented to him by the French journals, and even the official jour nal of Naples, he found the mason who in his ab sence had repaired his house, and was waiting for him at the landing-place of the steamer to present him with a paper. Garibaldi took the paper, opened it, and found a bill to pay. The bill was more than ten piastres ; the general found himself compelled to confess his poverty and asked the man for time, but the latter refused to believe in the poverty of the modern Cincinnatus: " You have bean the dictator, which is more than Than a king, of the two kingdoms," said he to him; " it is not possible you have not put apart two and twenty piastres." The General assured him of the contrary, and offered him his ten piastres as an in stalment. The mason would not accept them, and summoned the general before the tribunals. The affair is still cora??? judice. Do not let it be thought we are joking; it's the simple truth. In the meantime the general entered the house. The work for which the mason asked payment of him was so badly done that in his sleeping room it rains as it does in the street. The general took advantage of one of the steamers from Rubattino to send for another mason from Genoa, as the first would not work for him without being paid for his previous job. If any details are wanted about the general's house and furniture, we can give theme house consists of a ground floor, divided i . Th e nine rooms. In the hall, used as a dining-room, the general's room is to the right; the cis tern is over this room, so that the general is be tween the dampness of the ceiling and the rain pouring in from the roof. He is very fond of his rooms and no human power could make him give it up. To the left is Menotti's and Frascianti's room; after which comes Gusmaroli's, then that of the farmer and his family, consisting of father, mother, and two children. From the farmer's room you pass into the kitchen behind, from the kitchen into the storeroom, into Basso's room, which is used by other guests also. In the middle there is a dark chamber with a spiral staircase, up which you ascend to the terrace. The furniture in the general's room consists of a wooden bedstead and two mat tresses, a small wooden table placed near the bed, and covered with an old piece of green baize. Before the table there is a chair, which has only its legs left, for the rungs are wanting. Two chests of drawers, and a library containing some works on history and military matters, complete the furni ture. This library will be increased by a " Manual of Agriculture," consisting of seven or eight illus trated volumes. A portrait of the general's daughter, taken when she was four years old, is the principal ornament of the room. Above the general's head is a locket, containing some of Anita's hair, and some of Garibaldi's mother's. Near it is Vecchi's picture ; a nail, extracted from a box, keeps the frame close to the wall, and also serves the general to hang his watch on. Near the window hangs a looking-glass that once belonged to his mother. The chests of drawers con tain bed-sheets, towels and napkins, as well as flags rent by bullets, presents to the general from several regiments. The other bed-rooms merely contain iron bedsteads. The animals on the island are seven or eight c6ws, a bull, and some calves. The general's f avou :ite cow is called Brunetta, and was brought from Saidinia. Five asses and two horses form the ,valr ea .y. FROM THE oc2ZETTE OF LAST NIGHT. --,- DOWNING.si3EET, DEC. 31.

Mr. Shanly, the general manager, in his report on the traffic and working of the line for the year ending the 30th of June last, states that the road was opened in its entire length on Nov. 21, 1859, and the number of miles worked since that date was comprised in the following divisions :—Detroit to Port Huron, 59 miles ; Sarnia to Portland, 794 miles ; Richmond to Quebec, 96 miles ; and the London branch, 21 miles; total, 970 miles. The increased mileage during the year ending as above was 90 miles. The average number of miles worked during the year was 9321 miles. The total receipts for the year ending the 30th of June last amounted to 2,909,054 dols., and the total expenses to 2,413,774 dols, leaving the net earnings 495,280 dols. The average cost of working the line for the year was 49 dols 73c per mile per week. The gross receipts for the year ending June 30, 1860, showed an increase of 627,733 dols, as compared with those of the year ending June 30, 1859, and the increase in the expenditure amounted to 334,644 dols, The increase in the receipts over the preceding year was at the rate of 271 per cent, while the increase in the expenditure did not exceed 1609 per cent. The management had been charged with grasping at and fostering the foreign traffic to the neglect of the local traffic. Every person at all conversant with railway business knew that the local traffic was the best paying traffic a road could have. In refutation of that charge, the report states that the company's foreign tonnage for the year ending the 30th of June last did not amount to one-sixth part of their total tonnage. For every ton of merchan dise carried for foreigners they carried up wards of 61 tons for their own people. The mana gers were not so blind to the interests of the com pany as to give an undue preference to that class of business which yielded the smallest profit. To the through traffic of the Grand Trunk Rail way the Detroit and Port Huron section was an indispensable adjunct, but for reasons he would mention they were not now taking of that class of business one-third of what was offering, and, as a consequence, that portion of their road was not worked to anything like its full carrying capacity. In point of gra dients and completeness of construction generally, it stood first among the several sections of the Grand Trunk Railway, and when supplied with a proper equipment could be worked at a lower cost per mile than any other part of the line. Previous to the 30th of June last the company had neither engines nor cars of their own on the Detroit see= tion, but were wholly dependent for working of the line on hired rolling stock, which of course added very much to the working expenses. Even now they did not own in engines and cars suited to the 4 feet 81 inches gauge more than one third of a full equipment. The average receipts per mile per week for the year endine. the 30th of June last amounted to 54 dols 49c, while for the 19 weeks ending the 10th of November they averaged 70 dols 10c per mile per week. Since the securing of the large crop of the past season a great improvement in freight traffic had taken place. There was now more agricultural merchandise offering than they had the means of carrying, the deficiency of means being principally in rolling stock, and, under that denomination, chiefly in the article of covered freight cars. With a full equipment of cars and engines, and with proper appliances for handling and storing grain in bulk at Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, and Portland, there would now be „scarcely any other limits to the business they could do than were imposed by the limited capacity of a single line, and by the very small amount of ship ping to be counted en at Portland. With a view to show the deficiency of working stock on the Grand Trunk line, Mr. Shanly states that the pro. - portion was one engine to every 42 miles of road ; and to every mile of road 2.7 freight cars ; while the Great Western of Canada had an engine for every 3.9 miles of road, and to every mile 3.4 freight cars nearly. .The Michigan Central had an engine for every 3i- miles of road, and to each mile of road 31- cars. So that, according to the proportion on the Great Western line, th Grand Trunk would require 31 additional engines and 508 freight cars, and in accordance with the proportion on the Michigan Central line the Grand Trunk would require 61 engines and 846 cars added to their present stock 0t216 engines and 2,778 freight cars. The number of engines and cars thus arrived at was absolutely required to enable them to earn as large an income per mile per annum as was earned by the Michigan Central, the nature of the traffic and other matters on both lines being in many respects similar. Besides the want of plant, the company were very much straitened for the means of working the grain trade to advantage. There was but one granary and grain elevator on the line (at Sarnia), and until they had its fellow at some point towards the other extremity of the road it could be made but little use of; for the unloading of the cars at the large grain markets, such as 'Toronto, Montreal, and Portland, entailed far more expense on them than the loading at the stations where it first reached the railway. The almost total absence of proper facilities for handling grain in bulk at Montreal had pressed heavily upon them and upon the merchant for the last few months, and their total absence at Portland would operate most prejudicially on their working expenses at that point all the winter. There should be elevators, with storage attached, capable of contain ing 200,000 bushels of grain, at Toronto, Montreal, Kingston and Portland ; more shed room for general merchandise was also required at all those points, but more particularly at the two former; and at many points along the line there was defi ciency of " siding" room to the extent of about five miles in all. The completion of the " St. Lawrence Dock and Wharfage Company's" wharfs at Pointe Levi, and the extension, as formerly contemplated, of the company's premises there, also would prove highly advantageous to the traffic during that moiety of the year when their principal communi cation with the ocean was by the way of the St. Lawrence. It was at Montreal, however, that means for facilitating the interchange of traffic between the shipping and the railway was, and would always continue to be, most essential. It was as a freight-carrying road that the Grand Trunk Railway was destined to hold a first place among the great highways of the North American continent. For passenger traffic it could not hope to vie with the shorter avenues to the great centres of population on the Atlantic seaboard—Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. To the merchandise traffic, then, they must mainly look for swelling their earnings to the point required to make the undertaking pay. With regard to the undertaking, he had an abiding faith in its ultimate ability to make a fair return on the capital absorbed in it. The cost per mile to the share and bondholders was much below the average cost of the chief American lines east of the great lakes, and though he would not undertake to pro mise that for some years to come it could be worked at less than 60 per cent. of its gross earnings, he believed that its receipts might be swelled to an amount that would represent a surplus sufficient to pay interest on the bonded debt, and by and by a dividend on the share capital. The working expenses of the year ending the 30th June last were not to be taken as a criterion of the proportion that outlay was to bear to revenue for ever. For the first I d they of that year they had no Victoria - bri d e , . p an out of had unavoidably to do many things aris l e i b l ich had shortcomings in original construction , drawn unfairly upon revenue. °tinted t0 e 70,841 ing the Bth of December lastina; week of 1859 to The traffic receipts on the line for the wek end ?nerease of 19,029 dole. dols and for the corresp d fat of July to the Bth of 51,812 ' dols, showing an th d6,497 dols, and for the The total traffic from December amounted to I, riot ! of the preceding year to eshowing an increase of 403,222 dols, corresponding 1,193,275 dols, 33'S per cent.

Both rod and white qualities were in fair, though not to say activo request, at Monday's quo tations, The show of foreign wheat was large ; nevertheless a good business was done in it, and in some instances prices were is per quarter higher than last week. Floating cargoes of grain were firm in price. We had a fair sale for barley. In prices, however, no change took place. Fine malt was scarce, and in request, at full quotations but other kinds were very inactive. There was a good consumptive demand for oats, at ex treme rates. Beans and peas commanded full prices. There was a good sale for flour, at extreme rates. ARRIVAI,g THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley., Malt. Oats. Flour. 230 250 400 i 210 k 310 500 1,910 4 50 sacks bris. English...
