LIONE Y MARKET AND CONIVITIRCIAL INTELLIGENCR. CITY, Two o'CLoos.. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed With a very dull aspect, and, compared with last fa rates, all kinds were steadily supported. The salsa am:meted to between 6,000 and 7,000 bales, 2,000 of what'll wore taken for export and 300 on speculation. The Raliwa . ;• Market was inactive, but prices were steady, and el,),,eti firmly at their best point. T he official returns relating to trade and naviga tion , for the month ending 31st Oct., have been probtibited. From these it appears that the total dee': Lred value o4f exports from the United King dom, for the month, was 10,666,951/., being an incr ease of 1,806,3571 ., compare d w ith those of the like month in 1855. The increase is perceptible in I Jeer and ale, coals and culm, cotton manufac turea, earthenware, glass manufactures, i,haber daehcry and millinery, hardwares anti cutlery, Leather, linen, yarn, metals, silk manufacture s , vrootlen and worsted manufactures, and woollen and worsted yarn ; but there was a falling off in fish., machinery, and soap. The importation s of the principal articles were larger, as respects animal charcoal, clocks, cocaa, corn, baraey, oa t s , r y e , fl ou r, raw cot t on , flax, cur rant plate glass, hemp, leather manufac lorea , potatoes, rice, saltpetre, silk manufactures, cloves, nutmegs, brandy, Geneva, sugar unrefined, talltesv, tea, wine, and sheep's and lambs' wool. Thor° was a diminution, compared with the same mokath, in live animals, coffee, dyeing stuffs, em bro idery, metals, opium, provisions, rum, and tohk occ ,. T.he return relative to shipping also exhibits some satisfactory features, a much large r num b er of foreig n vesse l s having,been employed in the fo reipa trade of the United Kingdom, as well as in the coasting business. Irk the commercial advices from the Continent, received this morning, a statement is furnished of the progress& of the manufacture of beetroot sugar in France during the season 1856 7, until the end of October. It appears that 269 manufactories bare been in full operation, or 15 more than at the corresponding period of the previous season, and that the production has been 15,000,000 kilo grs..mmes. This has become a most important branch of French industry, and the article made has, of course, greatly superseded the foreign staple, the periodical return& of imports showing a steady increase in this respect. The Paris Bourse yesterday recovered from the weakness noticed during the two or three previous days, the investing public having again come for ward as purchasers. With regard to monetary affairs a gradual improvement is spoken of, and it is expected that the next monthly return of the Bank of France will show some very satisfactory results. The Trust and Loan Company of Upper Canada will pay a dividend at the rate of 71 per cent. per annum. The Directors of the Bank of England have se parated without announcing any change in the terms of discount. Although many were of opinion that a reduction of A per cent, would have been made, it could scarcer) , have been supposed when all the circumstances connected with the recent crisss are dnlyconsidered that affairs had sufficiently improved to admit of any relaxation in the restrictive policy lately adopted. The amount of "other Securities" must be greatly reduced, and the reserve of notes will have to be considerably augmented before any of the discount restrictions are removed ; and it is thought, therefore, that the lowering of the rate at the present moment would have been very indiscreet. At a later period of the year there is no doubt capital will become cheaper, but although it is very desirable to relieve trade from the shackles now existing, but at the same tim e it is equally important that undue encourage went should not be given to speculation by a too precipitate action on the part of the directors. The Bank will make advances on stock during the shutting of the transfer books at ant 7 per The En g li s h Stock Market opened wi Cent. th a buoy appearance, but very little animation is appa rent, and at the present moment prices are rather less firm. The dealers are busily engaged in arranging the half -yearly account in Shares and Foreign Stocks, and as the settlement of the Consul account soon takes place fresh operations are temporarily contracted. Con sols for money have been 941 aryl 941 and for the December account 941 have been the values. For January they have been 95 to 954 and 951 I. Exchequer Bills have risen to 2s and ss. pre tnitun ; the Bond s are 981 to 99, the New Threes 93a and the Reduced 93 to 934. is 217, an d East India Stock 2271 Bank St oc k .

To-day was appointed for the consideration of a peti tion to annul the proceedings in bankruptcy, presented by Mr. Marcus, a shareholder. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, said that the prayer of the petition was not only to annul, but also that the aseete in the hands of the official assignee in bankrupcty should be transferred to the chambers of the Vice-Chan cellor, in which the proceedings under the Winding-up Act were being carried on. Heevras glad to say that they would not have to trouble the Court at any length to-day, as an arrangement had been proposed, and he hoped would be carried into effect, act the notice of appeal which had been given at the moment against the judgment of his Honour the Vice• Chancellor bad been withdrawn, and it had been suggested that the bankruptcy should be proceeded with in order to obtain for the creditors an equal, comparatively cheap, and speedy distribution of the assets, and according to the prop:_•scd arrangement for the proceedings to be carried on in Bankruptcy, no individual shareholder would Es liable, and a mutual, just, and fair contribution would be mado by the share holders ; he, therefore, had to ask that the petition should stand adjourned generally, with leave to apply for a day to be appointed, in the event of the arrange ment not being carried into effect. Mr. Taylor assented. Mr. Baddison, the solicitor and secretary, made some remarks, stating that the directors thought the inquiry should be gone into, which, ha had no doubt, woald terminate satisfactorily to them, the creditors, and the public.

EXAMINATION OF SNELL. This afternoon, at 20 minutes past 2 o'clock, Snell, the clerk in the accountant's office of the Great Northern Railway, was placed before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with appropriating a large sum of money, the property of the company, to his own use. - The prisoner is a gentlemanly-looking young man, about 30 years of age. It will be recollected, from the report that appeared in The Sun of Thursday last, that the prisoner was the confidential clerk to Mr. Reynolds, the chief accountant to the company, and that owing to certain circumstances having arisen, the books of which the prisoner had charge were ordered to be made up. On the morning following this annoudcement Snell informed Mr. Rey nolds that he was deficimit to the amount of 1,0001. The prisoner was then given into custody and under went a preliminary examination at this court last week. The o present case against the prisoner was the appropriation of a cheque for 5001., .drawn in favour of the Provident Fund, dated the 11th of July. Mr. Huddleston appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Hopwood defended. The evidence of Mr. Reynolds, the chief accountant of the Great Northern Railway, having been read over, Mr. Hopwood asked Mr. Reynolds when he last saw the 5001. cheque ? Mr. Reynolds—ln the latter end of August. It was before I left town in September. It was in the cash-box. Mr. W. Gomm said I am a cashier at the Union Bank, in Princes-street, I produce the cash-book. On the 11th of July, I received a cheque for 500/. in fa vour of the accountans' drawing account. It was made up by two cheques, and was accompanied by the docket which was in the prisoners handwriting. It stated that the cheque was drawn by Mr. Reynolds, and was far money could g e t sundries. The blue docket which accompanied the cheque was different in colour to that of Mr. Reynolds's. aA docket person such coming as t :h o s th?e accompanyingh bank t o pa y in the 5001. cheq ue a t the counter of the hank. The money was placed to the credit of the accountant's fund. Mr. J. Walbram—l am a clerk in the Union Bank Oa the 9th Oct. I paid two cheques to Messrs. Williams through the clearing house. They were paid by a transfer on the Bank of England. Inspector Williams—l am in the service of the Great Northern Railway Company. I am an inspector on the line. On the 19th of November the prisoner was given into my charge. The prisoner said he was a defaulter to 1,0001. I told him he had better not tell me anything about it, for that being a constable I was bound to repeat it again. The prisoner said he did not care—he bad no defence to make. He thought he was a defaulter to about 1,0001. He after wards said he had taken the 5001. cheque which had been given him to pay into the Provident Fund, and had paid it, with 21. 10s. of his own money, to Mr. Reynolds's drawing account. That he told Mr. Reynolds it was all his own money, and asked him to give him two cheques for the amount, which he did accordingly. That he bad afterwards paid those two cheques to Oswin and Co., 10, A ngel-court, Throgmorton-street, to meet some of his (prisoner's) losses for stock. He also said the docket • • ponying Qte money he paid into the Union Bank he bad got from the bank counter. Re said it was a bad job, and he was very sorry for it, but the company could take his furniture, which was worth 2501., and he gave me a list of some other sums that were owing to him, saying they could take them also. I produce the list. He told me to make haste down to Hornsey, and take possession of his property before the Guarantee Society took it. The prisoner afterwards altered the amount of his defalcations, which he said he did not think would amount to above 9001. This evidence completed the case, upon which the prisoner was fully committed for trial. Mr. Huddlestone then proceeded to detail another case against the prisoner. Toe learned gentleman said there was a certain fund called the Sick Fund, made up of certain allowances made by the company. The funds ought to be paid into the accountant's drawing fluid, and none other. On the 27th of October a cer tain sum of money from the engineers' department—a, contribution to the sick fund—came into the prisoner's possession which ought to have been paid into the ac countant's drawing account, which he did net do. The sum in this case amounted to about 981., and the pri soner was now charged with embezzling the same. Mr. Reynolds was recalled—l am chief accountant of the Great Northern Railway Company. There is a fund in connection with the company called the sick fund. Mr. Mowatt is the trustee of the fund. I dis burse fortnightly the sick pay allowances, and it was the duty of the prisoner, who was my chief clerk, to get from Mr. Mowatt cheques for the amount so paid. On the 27th of September, 1856, I paid on account of that fund for the previous fortnight, 201. 18s. sd. On Oct. 11 I paid fqr the sick allowances a cheque for 231. lls. 10d. When the prisoner, in the ordinary course, obtained these cheques from Mr. M:owatt, it was his duty to pay them into the accountant's drawing account. I have a book—the register of cash and values received in the accountant's office, which I produce—l find three en tries in the prisoner's handwriting. _ Two were on the 27th of October last, as money received from Mr. Bry. den, of 721. 9s. 9d., and 151. 18s., and the other is on 29th Oct., 81. 10s. Those entries represent cash,received from the engineer's department by the prisoner,. behalf of the sick fund. It was the pri.. g oner's duty to hav e p aid thos e s ums into the Union . Bank to the ac c o unt of " the Great Northern Railwa y That is quite a different account from drawing account." Those entries by an Ackvowledgment that he has received said—l generally send tragicthe the money. r oai i ne coCeCiOeu.llrun a r et a ltp n " the amount he has ad- Mr. Henry Oakley , chief : clerk in the secretary's office of vanced on account a the sick an d fuzieral allowance f un d thet the eGgrueeast to up to the prisone r in Mr. Reynolds's office.

The petitioning creditors are Messrs. Deane and Dray, who are creditors for 1501. Messrs. Deane and Dray were chosen assignees. The bankrupt surrendered after the adjudication took place, and obtained protection, but did not now appear. IN RE ROBSON-THE CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who was connected with the Crystal Palace frauds. He was brought up in custody and placed in a private room whilst the pro forma business of taking proofs was gone on with. The court was orowded to excess, but nothing of the slightest public interest occurred up to half-past one. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. • (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLARY. Henry Pearson, aged 27, described as a labourer, pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary, with intent to steal the goods and chattels of John Bird. The prisoner had been previously convicted. Four years' penal servi tude. MAKING A FALSE ENTRY IN THE REGISTER OF DEATHS. Mr. Metcalfe said that he had been informed that late last evening the grand jury returned a true bill against a person named Colley, at the instance of a person named Campbell, for falsely entering in the re• gister of deaths the age of a lady at 60, instead of 80 years of age. The charge had been investigated by two different magistrates, both of whom had refused to send the case to the sessions, and now the prosecutor behind the defendant's back came here and preferred the pre- sent indictment. The present application to the Court was to ask the Court to settle the amount of bail to be put in for the defendant's appearance, and that in the event of a warrant being granted for his apprehension its execution should be stayed. The learned judge made an order for staying the war ramt, and ordered that the defendant should enter into his own recognisances in 10E, and two sureties in 50i. each---24 hours' notice of bail to be given. BIGAMY. 2renry Chivers, 3D, labourer. pJeaded guilty to a charge of feloniously marrying Elizabeth Fletcher, his wife, Eliza Chivers, being alive. Mr. G. P. Doyle said that he was instructed to pro secute, and stated to the Court that the prisoner mar ried his wife on Dec. 18, 1849, and lived with her till Jute last, when he deserted her to live with the woman Fletcher, whom he subsequently married, she knowing at the time that the prisoner's wife was alive. At the time the prisoner married his first wife she was in the service of a person named Wilson, a hairdresser, Moor lane. She was 38 years of age, and had saved 501. The prisoner had no money, but with his wife's savings he took a coffee-shop in High-street, Wapping. The first wife, who complained of ill-usage on the part of the prisoner, prosecuted in this instance. The Common Sergeant said that the prisoner, in a statement he had put in, stated that he was induced to leave his wife, who had ruined him and blighted his prospects by her drunken and disgraceful conduct. If true, he did not appear to have benefited himself in that respect by his second meirriage, for he (the Com mon Sergeant) found by the de positions that the second wife was addicted to the same vice. He sentenced the prisoner to 4 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. GAROTTE RCA:BEERY. Frederick, Travers, 28, painter, pleaded guilty to a charge of violently assaulting and, in conjunction s Alt three other persons, robbing a person named John Moore of a watch and other articles. The robbery was committed with great violence, the prisoner being assisted by three other desperate characters. The prisoner was known to the police as an associate of thieves. He was sentenced. to fourteen years' trans. portation. BURGLARY AP BRIXTON. 11 7 iWain Henry IVotton, 21), casemaker, and Joseph, Young, 15, labourer, pleaded guilty to a burglary in the dwelling-house of George Swire, and stealing therein a hat, telescope, and other articles his property, and Charles Culling, 20, shoema;ker, Charles Heiner, 18, shoemaker, and Mary Ann Clarke, 19, pleaded not guilty to feloniously receiving I)art of the same property, well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted ; the prisoners were unde fended. It appeared, from the evidence, that the prosecutor was a chemist, of Brixton-I sill, and Wotton was for merly in his service as a port ier, but had left him a few months previous to the robbery. On the night of the 29th October the prosecutor retired to rest between eleven and twelve o'clock, ha ring previously fastened up the premises in his usual mare ner. About six o'clock in the morning he was awoke It 3, the violent barking of his dog, and on his getting down stairs he found the pre mises had been broken into, tape shop, &c., in great dis order, and the place complete 1y ransacked. Suspicion falling on certain parties the prosecutor gave informa tion to the police, who succ ceded in apprehending the prisoners, and in the possessio al of several of the prisoners was found most of the article s stolen from the prosecu tor's premises. Between 4 Vi. and 501. in gold was taken from a cash-bcx. After the prisoners were apprehended they rex.° taken to Lambeth police station, and put into tl i e cells. Cullen and Clarke were placed in adjacent cell / 4, when the following con , ersation between them was c tverheard by the police : el, rke called out to Culling, " Culling, how are you ?" H e r eplied, "All right, Pelt: v. Cheer up, I'm here." She th en said, " Where are, we going ?" and Culling replied, •" To the Bailey. If.. we had been sent to the Lane (Horatemonger-lane Gaol) we shoul,l have been lagged (transpori.ed) ; but at the Bailey we shall only get a stretch" (12 months' imprisra nment). (Laughter.) Clarke then said to Culling, "You had better say you slept at my house—you know what I mean." Culling replied, "All right, Polly. I've ns ade it all right with Bill Wotton. He is going to take the lot on himself." Clarke then said to Cullimg. "Plead not guilty. We were going to have a fine !Christmas, but never mind, we shall get out together." The prisoner Culling, in 1 its defence, said the articles found in his possession wer e given him by Wotton, and he called a witness in suppoi It of his statement. He had no knowledge at the time thi It the articles were stolen. The Common Sergeant st immed up, observing that be thought the evidence not , sufficient to convict Home:•. The statement of Clarke Culling that he was to say . he slept at her house that nitht, pointed to a knowledge of the burglary by those tTvy) prisoners. The jury acquitted Homer, and found the prisoners Clarke and Culling guilty of receiving. The prisoner Mary Ann Cie ,rke war: convicted on the 9th April at the Westminster Sessions in the name of Jones, and sentenced to six, months' imprisonment. Wotton was also convicted at Westminster on the 18th SoptaaborkAB64, for robbioir.bia employer of 104 6u. 3d., and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. He had been previously in custody on suspicion of having robbed three of his employers. Clarke, till recently, cohabited with a man who was sentenced at the late Westminster Sessions to vix years' penal servitude. The Common Sergeant then sentenced Wotton to four years' penal servitude; Clarke to two years' im prisonment with hard labour ; and Culling a " stretch," or 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Young, who is a lad of 15 years of age, and was scarcely tall enough to look over the dock, was ordered to be put back till next session, that inquiries might be made about him. He is supposed to be the associate of thieves, though of so tender an age. REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. There is little new to communicate to-day, public attention being everywhere occupied with th , lt great meeting hold last night in the Riding-school and its re sults,. which were t e l egraphed to the limes, and pub lished this morning. Mr. Vbreguelin, who first addressed the meeting, set forth his claims as a commercial man to the reincbc..:::: of an inaport.ent commercial constitu ency like Southampton, and expialn,:: l e ;.ling points of his political creed as exhibited in his address to the electors, which we printed on Monday. Ifr. James followed, confining himself chiefly to the cry got up against the lawyers, and to an examination of the valu able services rendered by that class cf men to the liberties of the country. The uproar throughout the meeting was of the most turbulent character, and the result has only added fuel to the flames, instead of allay ing them. Bills have been issued to-day, one set announcing the adoption of the resolution in favour of Mr. James, and the other ,declaring the contraty, and the majority to have fallen on Mr. Weguelin. The partisans on each side vehemently uphold their respective views, and the feeling is more violent and bitter than ever. Mr. James has published another address to-day, in ' which he says : " A majority of the Liberal electors of your borough, by a resolution passed at a large public meeting held last evening, having declared me the most fit and proper per son to represent you in Parliament, I hasten to return my thanks for the honour conferred upon me. " I have already explained to you my political prin ciples, and beg to assure you that I shall seek every oppor tunity of personal interview with each elector." Atter the meeting at the Riding-school broke up last night a large number of Mr. James's supporters met at the Royal Hotel, and formed themselves into an active canvassing committee, with Mr. Alderman Dusautoy as chairman, and Mr. Alderman Blatch, as deputy-chair man. Committee-rooms have been opened at the Royal York Hotel (which has been for some time unoccupied), and the exhibition outside of large placards announcing the fact gives token of the contest having commenced in earnest. A large and influential assemblage of Mr. Weguelin's supporters was also held to-day at the Star Hotel, to make the necessary arrangements for the coming struggle. Mr. Alderman Coles, we believe, acts as chairman of Mr. Weguelin's committee. Everything betokens the adventof a severe fight, and, unless some arrangement can be happily arrived at to heal ;he split in the Liberal ranks, the town will be plunged for the next three months into the turmoils of one of the most painful and bitter political struggles that have ever been known in Southampton. Mr. William Lankester, the iron -founder, and one of the principal tradesmen in the town, has been ap• pointed chairman of Mr. Weguelin's committee, and Mr. Alderman Tucker has been appointed deputy-chair man. Mr. Weguelin's committee rooms are'directly opposite those of Sir Edward Butler; Mr. James's committee-rooms are at the Royal York Hotel. There is every reason to believe that before the elec tion comes on, one of the liberal candidates will retire to enable the liberals to fight the conservative candidate with their full force.

SONGS." Under this title, which aptly enough indicates the pur pose she has in view, Miss Lizzy Stuart gave an enter tainment last night at the Walworth Literary Institution, comprising readings and songs very judiciously alter nated. The lecture, far it was truly such, is introduced by an appropriate graceful speech, which at once be speaks the attention of the audience ; and to the title of each song there was appended a variety of historical incidents, amusing anecdotes, and biographical notices, selected with great care and good literary taste. Miss Stuart's enunciation is distinct and emphatic, though somewhat rapid ; and her conception and expression of several points in her lecture told with great effect, Her musical abilities are well adapted for expressing the various peculiarities of Scottish song. *he was equally successful in the pathetic and tender as in the more B:irring and humorous. In particular, t o modern songs, by Mr. B.,ll ant i ne of Edi n b urg h, "Castles in the and " Ilka, hla ie o' grass," were sung exquisitely, a were greatly applauded. The entertainment, upon the whole, is one which ought to be very congenial t and propriato to literary institutions—amusement aarnedfoin struction being judiciously blended. Those , likedwhile thehoe s more songs—Scotch intellectualso ngare always those will find it in historical facts and national characts ristics. TEE PROPOSED HONDURAS RAILWAY. The following letter from Dr. Scherzer, of the Imperial Academy of Vienna, to Sr. Don Victor Herran, on the Honduras, and the proposed Hon duras Railway, will be every where read with much interest, now that the colossal scheme is fairly be fore the civilised world : VIENNA, AUSTRIA, AUG. 17, 1856. To DON VICTOR HERRAN, MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY OF THE REPUBLIC OF HONDURAS, TO TIM COURT Or ST. JAMES'S. Sir,—You have done me the honour, in your letter of the Bth inst. to ask from me some observati ons on the Rep u bli c Of Honduras, of which 1 - made a very thorough examination, in the course of nay recent tra.' vels in Central America, under the auspices of the' Im perial Academy of Vienna, and I hasten to comply with your request. The. principal quest;on which you have propounded is, "The possibility of c)ristructing a railway across the Isthmus of Central Aznarica, within the territories of Honduras, from Puerto Caballos on the Atlantic, to the Bay of Fcnseca on the Pacific, and if the configuration of the country offers any insurmountable obstacles to the execution cf such a work ?" In reply to this question, I ain h a ppy t o h ave it in illy power to say, that I have visited and examined with care theigreater part of the country which the proposed railway traverse, and that I am convinced there is no insur mountable ossLac:e is the executio n of the work. In fact, the difficult:es to be overcome are uos,_ii .sos. ~s.l would appear from a first, glance at the !liana liondurss and the mountain system to the csuntry. Whoevur travels there must soon arrive at the conclusion that the great valleys of the rivers Ulur. and Goascoran, the first stream falling into the Atlantic, and the second flowing into the Pacific, offer every facility for the execution of the work proposed. Colluctively these valleys have a length of 160 English miles ; and the greatest elevation of the country, at the point where they may be said to join each other, is but 2,400 feet. The thorough reports which have been pub lished on the proposed railway by Mr. Spier, formnriy Minister of the United Sates in Central America, and which are doubtless known to you, supported as they are by the high authority of Captain Fitzroy, R.N., in his communication to Lord Clarendon on this subject, ren der it unnecessary for me to enter into details, and I ac cordingly confine myself to saying that, throughout my travels, I have had abundant opportunities of verifying these reports, and can testify to their accuracy. -Be tween Mexico and New Granada there is no point which, from lie geographical position, is so favourable for the construction of a railway between the seas as that afforded by the Isthmus of Honduras, and whether we look to the transport of passengers or of -merchan dise, the rapid transmission of the mails and of treasure between the Atlantic States of the United States, and California, or between Europe and Australia and. China—in all these respects its advantages are most ob vious. The ports which form the points of departure, on both seas, combine the conditions most favourable for the realisation of this vast enterprise; that on the Pacific. The Bay of onseca may perhaps be considered as the safest and most commodious port on the entire western coast of America. All the navies of the world might meet in the grand basin, to exchange for the benefit of humanity the delicious products of the tropics, against the manufactures of European civilisa tion. The many material resources of Honduras will greatly contribute to facilitate the construction of the proposed railway, the adjacent forests will supply the necessary timber, and the rivers, navigable in the rainy season for considerable distances, will easily permit of the transpor • tation of mat:rials, and of supplies, as well as of the pro ducts of the soil. But what gives most importance to the plateau of Honduras, apart from its fertility and its temperature of perpetual springs, is the salubrity of its climate, which allows colonists from northern regions to cultivate the soil and pursue their avocations without danger to their health. I have visited the greater part of North America, from Canada and Lake Superior to Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico, but I have nowhere found a territory which offers the same advantages to agriculture with the plateaux of Central America. .Commencing at an eleva tion of 3,000 feet above the sea, Enropt'an agriculturists will find throughout a climate perfectly salubrious. The meteorological observations which I made in dif ferent parts of the country, extending over a period of two years, and which I propose very MCI to publish, show that at the elevation of 3,000 leet the thermometer very rarely falls below GO deg., and seldom rises above 82 deg. of Fah. The mean temperature of the summer, or hot season, is from 69 deg. to 75 deg. of Fab. The soil of Honduras, with few exceptions, is of such fertility as to require no manuring in order to yield two or three crops 'a year. The products of the torrid zone - sugar cane, coffee, cocoa, cotton, rice, to bacco, maize, bananas, yams, yucas, potatoes, &c.—may be cultivated gide by side with the wheat, barley, oats, rye, and the other cereal grains and useful plants of Europe. A delicious cliniaw permits the emigrant to labour and follow his avocations for the entire year. With less effort be obtain 3 ten times the products which ho could secure in Europe. In niece , parts of the Stare are found mines of silver, geld, Lad, copper, and iron, yet unde• veloped, and only awaiting the introduction of capital and of intelligent wcrkinen. The plateau of Honduras, as well as the plateaux of Central Atnerica, iu general, justify the belief that the world may enjoy the different products of the tropics, s uchas recourse c o to h ff e e , and e s s u o ga e r s : e w nt i i t a h l ou tu t tchievi!niseacettn necessit y of hav ing abominable institution of slavery ; had that all these products may be cultivated by free labour, through the medium of European colonies, which may be esta blished here, without the least danger to health, or risk to life. I should trespass perhaps i)oth on your tine and pa tience were I to enumerate the many advantagel which capital, whether engaged in emigration, indin , try, or commerce, might secure in the admirable countries of the isthmus, most especially if devoted to the construc tion of a railway there, free for all nations. By opening its high plains—picturesque and fertile beyond compari son, but now soly.ary for lack of inhabitants, to foreign emigration—Honduras could not fail to attract speedily the accumulate.; capital, skill, and intelligence of Eu rope, and take a superior position amongst the Spanish American Republics. As you have expressed your wish to give these lines to the public (which, if you deem them of sufficient interest, you are welcome to do), I regret that I am unable, at this moment, to present to you an adequate tableau of ' this country, concerning which I might add a thousand interesting details. But you will find most of these in a work on the "St . - es of Nicaragua, Honduras, and San Salvador," which has just been issued from the Brunswick (German) press. In one word, I do not believe there is, in the entire new continent, a country which presents so great ad vantages for European colonisation, industry, and commerce as central America. Situated between the two great ccans of the globe, it offers, on its eastern coast, the same facilities for commerce with the United States and Europe that it affords on its western shores for that of China, Australia, and the East Indies. The construction of a railway to cross the isthmus of Hon duras, passing through a country healthful and fertile, would ,fleeteeto f ship?, my ip opinion, fre nur o h p e e t a h n e sho r es, sigilal l f or ad e t n h e with sailing colonistsof a going to establish themselves on the table-lands of Central America. It will be a sublime spectacle to witness the their may capital, n riu t to e, o development ofthis happy their intelligence, country, fort o hosewh r o by ypen their heirposition, its immense solit u d es t o populations c and to industry. But, apart from the service which they will render to humanity, I believe that all who contribute to these good results, will also receive a just and profitable return for their efforts and expenditure. With high respect, I am, Sir, yours, &c., CARL SCEIXBUB. 94 i POLITICAL EXECUTIONS IN ITAY.
