The Latest Edition of The Sun, Stamped, in time for Poet, may always be had from halk past 5 till 'T o'clock every evening. Subscribers in the Country will please to observe that the heading " THIRD EDITION" is always to be seen on the papers containing the latest news. If any difficulty be experienced 'n obtaining that Edition, a communication to l'he Sum Office will remedy it. Sun Office, 112, Strand. r(rt illli, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1856., We have repeatedly called ma the tax-paying community to adopt speedy and energetic means to obtain a revision of the national taxation, so as to levy the amount that must be provided for the liquidation of the public liabilities and the sup port of the national establishments in the manner least onerous to the great body of the people, and at the same time most equitable to the contri butories in general. We have especially directed attention to the unjust and oppressive apportion ment of the income tax, which is so unsound in principle —so twtariehi in its operation—that, but that it has been sanctioned by Parliament, and is an existing fact, of which the middle classes are so - frequently and so painfully reminded, it would seem to be an act of Rupercrogation, a mere fighting with shadows to adduce a single argument against it. This iniquitous impost is, by a quibble, at which an Old Bailey practitioner would blush, to be continued, at the rate of ls. 4d. in the pound, or 61 per cent, until April, 1858. This result is obtained by a literal interpretation of the Act for doubling the impost, the clear intent and meaninc , whereof was that the extra charge should termi nate at the expiration of the financial year, next after the termination of the war, but as the words used are " next after a ratification of a definitive treaty of peace," the Government are doing that collectively of which its members individually would be ashamed, and which is neither more nor less than a swindle on the nation. If the Chan cellor of the Exchequer cannot spare so large a sum, which would in round terms amount to nine fninione sterling, let himbring the question before Parliament fairly and honourably, and he will find ever y disposition to provide all that he could r "my require to meet the many claims on the Exchequer ; but let hint' carefully avoid anything that can by a possibility he looked on o as a " breach of faith,","r even the taking of an unfair advantage of the people. Better relin quish the entire amount than submit to such an imputation. Good faith, in the widest Accepta tion of the phrase, has hitherto been the charac teristic of every British Government, no matter of what party. It would indeed be deeply prejudi cial to the nation and to the value of the publi; securities, to remove that honourableprestige, and to exhibit a disposition to take advantage of petty points quit. opposed to the spirit of the enact ment. Nor is it tho am ount of the burden alone, onerous as it must be considered that is the most o bjectionable part of the transaction. In certain districts an unusual stringe y Is manifested in the collection. It was, we believe, the invariable practice when a party was in arrear to send notice t h a t unless the claim were liquidated by a oertain day a return would be mad e to the Com missioners, and measures adopted t) enforce pay ment. This notification almost invariably pro duced the money, without the addition of law costs. This ordinary oourtesy has, however, been with. damn s The first information received is the appearance of a broker armed with a warrant, and attended by a man to be left in possession unless the amount was liquidated at the first demand ; and so strictly has this system been acted on that in one case, when the broker was int . ( rmcd that th© master of the house would be back in half-an hour, and that the amount would then be paid, lie refused to call again in that short time, but made the distress, thus adding ss. 6d. costs to the amount, which was paid within the half hour. It has been said by some of the sufferers that the time is carefully selected at which the responsible party is absent, in order to obtain the opportunity of adding the additional costs, and the same system is also pursued with respeot to the house tax ; the broker facetiously hinting while pocketing his charge, that it would be a salu tary lesson to teach the parties to pay promptly without entailing the necessity of an application. We can scarcely think that such proceedings can be with the approbation of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. If not, they should resume their former practice, unless they desire that the atten tion of Parliament should be directed to the sub ject. We rejoice to see that an association is in course of formation, for the purpose of obtaining the speedy reduction of the tax, now that the War has closed, from 16d. to Id. in the pound, and also for obtaining a more equitable apportionment of the charge on income. A preliminary meeting was held at the London Tavern, Ludgate-hill, on Wednesday evening. With the views there ex pressed, which appeared in our impression of yesterday, we fully and cordially con cur. There is indeed a great distinction between income arising from accumulated and realised property, and that obtained by physical or intellectual labour. The position of a fund holder possessing 10,0001. in the Three per Cents. is very different indeed frem that of a hard-working barrister, clergyman, medi oal practitioner, or tradesman, realising pro fits to the extent of 3001. per annum, or rather assessed at that amount. We have frequently pointed out the vast difference, and yet all would have to pay the same amount, viz., 201. a-year. We trust the association will persevere in their labours. It only requires to have the full extent of the grievance fully exposed to in duce a pressure from without that must be felt within the walls of Parliament. "Orthodoxy," quoth a worthy divine, "is my dozy; heterodoxy is any body else's dozy." The City of London Gas Company adopt the senti ment, to all appearance, seriously and to the fullest extent. They are right, and everybody else who differs from them must be wrong. Com forting doctrine truly, especially when holding it coincides with one's material interests. Em brace it, and there is no Gordian knot with folds intricate enough to puzzle you and throw your energies to waste. Like the sword of ALEXANDER, it cuts right through. Some men have passed their lives in bondage because of scruples of con science thrust upon them' which they lacked the resolution fairly to dissect, lest the re sult should prove antagonistic to their wishes. Pity they had but taken up the doctrine in ques tion at the outset, and stuck steadily to it. What a worla of mental uneasiness it would have saved them ! How easily would they have surmounted difficulties which, for the lack of it, proved wel nigh insuperable ; and what towers of strength would they have been could they have persuaded their neighbours of the soundness of their belief. To be sure, as a celebrated political economist once insinuated to an inveterate " infallible" whom she encountered in America, the neighbourhood of such an oracle is likely to be a little dull, there inevitably being nothing for the good folk, if it all reasonable, to contend about. Fortunately or unfortunately, however, for the world, let the reader determine which, society is perverse, and prefers to entertain opinions of its own rather than adopt the opinions of " infallibles," more especially when the latter, in all likelihood, owe their origin to personal considerations. The policemen on the Whitefriars beat, and the respectable inhabitants who have given evidence in the inquiry, are all in the wrong. Instead of being a nuisance prejudicial to .health, the City Gas Works are rather a fountain of health as well as of wholesome dividends. The Company always believed this, and they believe so still. That a nuisance exists in thp neighbourhood is not de nied, but the Gas Works are not that nuisance. It will be found elsewhere. Possibly P. C. 844, went on to his beat, as he says, in perfect health, and immediately lost his appetite, became ill, and had to be removed from his beat because of the offensive exhalations he there encountered. Sergeant KNIGNT, too, notwithstanding his sturdy constitution, may have had to submit to a com pulsory evacuation of the stomach from the same cause. The complaints of other policemen, and of the respectable inhabitants of the neighbour hood may not be without some foundation. Brandy may be kept in stock at the works for the relief of sufferers from the same cause. But what does all this amount to as against the City Gasworks ? Absolutely to nothing at all. The witnesses, every man of them, unlike SLA.WHENBEROILTS, stand convicted of being born without noses, or rather noses of discrimination—noses that can distinguish between things or odours that differ. The noxious smells that turn the policial stomach topsy-turvy, and play " old Harry" with the inhabitants, don't come from the City Gasworks at all. Their origin will be found in the Fleet Ditch ! The company are martyrs to nasal ignorance Infortunately the policemen stick up for the detective qualities of their beaks, and insist on the City Gas Works being the veritable forts ma/orum, and net the venerable ditch. The respectable inhabitants do the same. How is this to be ac counted for ? It is not said, but possibly the police inherit a partiality for the Fleet, while the inhabitants of a business locality in the heart of the great metropolis may be anxious to have it thought they can " smell their way." Besides, there is the • evidence of Mr. CHILDS, the surgeon of the police force, who has statistics to show the health of the men on the beat where the gas works are situate is not worse than the health of the men on other beats. Unluckily for the company, the vagaries of a certain class of the profession are too notorious to serve their turn, and Mr. CHILDS neither disputes the veracity of the men, nor entertains a doubt that the smells they de• scribe would produce the effects they have deposed to. Was there ever an affair more farcical ? The effluvia from gasworks are none so faint and un distinguishable as not to be recognised, even if the Fleet Sewer be forgetful of the proprieties. The dullest hound of a nose, if it has any scent at all, could not be tempted by the latter from its track. The policemen, we make bold to say, whatever the configuration of their noses, have been on the right scent, and really " nose d him in the" City Gas Works. What further proof of this could be desired than the fact of the compassionately reviv e d ibition of brandy by reso lutefrom e x b a d i e i s t e t i c o t i r :e b s y be th i e ng exh the servants of the company, and their being dis missed without a word being said to them about the Fleet Sewer? Then was the time to dis abuse their minds on the subject, if they were abused, and not after an inquiry was instituted. Depend upon it the sewer would not have escaped detection a moment longer than could be pre vented on the receipt of such information, pro vided the polieial nose testified to its being reliable. Setting, however, this particular case aside, we are decidedly of opinion the existence of gas works in crowded neighbourhoods is in compatible with the public health, and that on inquiry it will be found the weight of authority is on the side of those who think with us. Shall our Farmers have railways ? We mean, shall purely agricultural districts have them ? The question was suggested to us by the report of a railway meeting at Lynn, or rather a meeting to promote a railway between Lynn and Hunstan ton, in Norfolk. The loyal borough of King JOHN is well enough known to our readers ; and, if Toryism be loyalty the old town has preserved its loyalty to this day, although the high and dry of that class certainly caught a Tartar in electing Lord STANLEY for their member, while his Lord ship was studying Democracy and Voluntaryism in the United States. Perhaps half England has known the name of Lynn better since it chose a member who speaks at public meetings, on Agri culture and Church Rates, on Law Reform and Reformatory Schools, on Education and the Maine Liquor Law, on anything, apparently, where social action is the chief requisite. To how many places has not Lord STANLEY carried with him the name of Kings' Lynn, when the committee's advertisement and placards have given the full style and title of their Lion for the occasion. But Hunstanton—who ever heard of it t Every one knows far more of half the Tillages on the Danube, or in the Crimea. And no wonder. It lies, by road, some seventeen or eighteen miles to the North side of Lynn, and the Royal town itself is the end of that attenuation of a railway called the East Anglian ; at any rate, having got thither you must back out again, and may then start off crab-wise to Norwich, one way, or to Wisbeach the other. But Hunstanton—eighteen miles off the fag-end of a most quiet railway, who should know where it is ? Yet is this said Hunstanton a very pleasant little place on a summer's day ; a kind of Brigh ton, to its Metropolitan at the mouth of the Ouse. It is well known to the sailor, for on its cliff stands a lighthouse, the first shore light as he enters the Wash. It is known too to the geologist, for its said cliffs are the most beautiful on the east side of England ; black and yellow sandstone below, and overhanging crags of red and white chalk above ; huge slabs of the latter form ing a romantic debris at the bottom. Indeed one might imagine that an earthquake had caused the wild confusion ; it is the work, however, of winter's wet and frost alone. The antiquary also knows the place, and we of the fourth estate ought to know it too, for its old Hall was the family seat of the VESTRA.NOES, who are said to have come over with the Conqueror ; and Sir ROGER, L'ESTRANOR, an author of several works, was appointed, after the restoration, Censor of the Press, and brought out himself, so early as 1665, a newspaper, called The Puilie Intelligencer, a circumstance duly commemorated in one of the family pictures. Hunstanton, humble as its inhabitants may be, is not, therefore, to be de spised, and we can testify from personal know ledge to its pleasantness as a place of escape from our smoke and noise ; the former is not to be seen there ; and of the latter, all you hear is the roar of the waves, and the scream of the sea gull. At present it furnishes the charms of solitude—one excellent hotel, a mile from even a cottage, being the only accommodation for visitors ; a railway might change all that. If the place were known to those excursionists who like a hundred miles run, it might become a ♦ery attractive spot to many of the daily toilers within the sound of Bow bells. We should not have thought, just now, how ever, of Hunstanton and the L ' ESTRANIFFA, but for the report we have referred to. We lately travelled in the district, and when we saw in a local paper the heading Lynn and Hunstanton Railway we certainly did open our eyes. Re• freshing our memory by a good map of Norfolk, we found but six or seven small villages between the two places ; the largest of them numbering, perhaps, a thousand inhabitants, the rest not more than a few hundreds ; on one side of the present road, the sea only separated by two or three miles of fields or pastures; on the other, again, but few villages, and those small and mostly distant ! If the Lynn and Hunstanton Railway be to succeed, then it will be a fair test of how far agriculture can support the rail, and we confess that on that ground alone we should like to see it tried. The loss, if loss it should turn out, will not be ruin ous ; responsible partiee hare offered to construct the railway, and hand it over complete for 80,000/., but a trifle over 5,0001. per mile ! Should this be done, it will, if we remember aright, be cheaper than any railway yet completed in England. We should not think the district remarkably favourable for railway engineering ! It would scarcely be wise to keep to the level low lands, near the beach, and leave all the villages too much on one side ; and if it went inland the line must go through the undulating, though not high, chalk hills of the uplands ; there would be many cut tings, though no tunnellings. We have not seen the details of the calculations, but Mr. SIMBSON, of the East Anglian, is fully satisfied with the prospective result, and we must leave that to him and the good burgesses of Lynn. It would seem that the promoters of the railway have subscribed more than half the required amount among themselves—a fair guaran tee for the earnestness of their convictions. On the grand point, however, which interests us—agri cultural railways—we have a remark or two to make. Let it be understood of what kind the district is, agriculturally. Exeept a strip of good marshes adj scout to the Wash, it is a highly cul tivated light land arable district. Much of it within living memory was open sheep walk ; and heaths, to which Hampstead-heath is but a heath - plot, yet remain. It it; nearly all now enclosed, let on long leases, and well tilled by an intelligent tenantry ; and it is one of the best barley districts in England. Lovers of the best London porter owe not a little to it. Every kind of crop is, however, diligently cultivated, for the land being naturally poor relies upon green crops and artifi cial manure, and the number of sheep and oxen grazed is very considerable. The delivery of this produce at the port of Lynn and carriage back of oilcake and other artificial manures must be, we suppose, the chief reliance of the projectors, though they may fairly include in their calcula tions the pleasure trips froel a town of 20,000 inhabitants, and the increased visits of the rural population to the town. Nor should we be sur prised at all if, some day, the little village at the terminus should become as much of a resort from the metropolis as Yarmouth or Lswestoft. Its sea coast is far more beautiful than either. The only peculiarity is the vast distance to which the low tides leave the shore. Even this, however to those who spend the day there, is no objection, while the firmness of the uncovered sands renders them perfectly agreeable to walk on, and the amusement is ample to amateurs in the con struction of marine aquariums. We must wish the little project success, though we cannot pre tend to be judges of the probability of it. Were the business in the hands of parties able and willing to make the country terminus as alluring to us jaded Londoners as it easily might be, we should not doubt that it would even pay well, if constructed at the proposed cost. We may just remark that agricultural railways must depend for success on agriculture having assumed its best form in any district. Manufac turing neighbourhoods can always support a line through them, not only on account of the number of persons travelling, but from the goods traffic also, which is becoming increasingly remunera tive. In proportion as agriculture becomes more of a food manufacture, and is carried on with mechanical and scientific appliances—in proportion as it approaches to what is doing at Tiptree Hall, or even to what is attained in the Lothians and in the well-tilled parts of Norfolk—will be its capacity to support railways. When the cultiva tion cf England shall have reached its highest perfeotion, and have approximated to horticul ture, and when the towns and the country shall have arranged to apply our sewerage to its proper use, it will then pay to carry—single lines at least—to every district ; and landlords may even find that small branch lines to each im portant farm will pay good interest in the shape of increased rent. LATEST NEWS CANADA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The screw steamer Canadian has arrived with the mails from Quebec and Montceal of the 28th ultimo. The advices contain no news of interest. Comtnereial affairs were quiet. NAPLES, OCT. 4. The political trial which has been going on for some time past is concluded, and the following sentence delivered :—Mignona has been con demned to banishment for life, Mauro Dangelis for twelve years, and the priest Decicco for two years. The monk Roggero and another have been set at liberty. The King and the Duke de Calabria arrived here from Gaeta on the 30th ult. Gen. Martini has been received by the King, and at the con clusion of the conference a council of Ministers assembled. MADRID, OCT. 8. By a royal decree, published in the Gazette of this day, M. Tassara is named Spanish Ambas sador at Washington. Preparations are com menced for sending to Africa nett spring a con siderable amount of naval and military forces. A letter from Vienna, in the German Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The Austrian war steamer Elizabeth has received orders at Trieste to go to tk• Bay of Naples, not to make a demonstration, but to station there. It is certain that in his com- munications with Baron Hubner, King Ferdinand did not reject the good counsels of Austria and France, and he has even allowed them to a cer- tain extent, but he refuses to cede to the demands of England, and Russia encourages him in his resistance. It was in. the Athens journals that the late Russian circular was first published, it having been first communicated to the Govern ments of Greece and Naples." A letter from Vienna of the 4th, in the Pint Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" The circu lar despatch of Prince Gortschakoff was, it is said, in the hands of the King of Naples on the 6th September, that is to say, three days before the arrival of Baron de Hubner." A private letter from Bucharest, of the 29th cf September, contains news which will hardly fail Is create some little sensation in the West of Europe. Prince Alexander Ghika, the Kaimakan or Stadtholder of the Porte in the Principality of Wallachia, has not only re-organised the Cabinet and made great changes in the political admi nistration of the province, but he has entirely broken up the supreme and second courts of justice. The words of the correspondent are, " The Kaimakan has just dismissed all the em ployes forming the courts of supreme justice and of appeal. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says :-- " The latest adviees from Naples as yet an nounce no change or modification in his Majesty's determination. To the first steps taken by the Western Powers the King responded by the open ing of the present criminal proceedings. To the ultimatum, if ultimatum bo intended, the same amiable sovereign will probably reply by the exe cution of the sentence on such of the prisoners as have been convicted. A note is still spoken of on the part of the French Government, but it is hardly believed that the fleet will be despatched at the same time to enforce its demands. Indeed, there seems to be nothing yet decided respecting the lent, though it is probable that the Ambas sadors will be recalled." FRANCE. PARIS, TIIURSDIY EVENINe. The Moniteur says :—" The speculation of sweating and melting down coins, in order to ex tract therefrom any value they may contain above their ordinary currency, is an injury inflicted on the public fortune, and constitutes a misdemeanour e s s t t which cannot be tolerated.

There will be hunting and shooting matches alternately every five days at Compiegne until November. The carrousel which is to figure in th e series of • fetes at Compiegne will have this particularity, that all the horsemen will be mounted on Arabian horses of the samo size and colour. They aro a greyish-white - ,• h w hite and belonged to the old regiment of the 4th Chassours, now transformed into a regi ment of the guard." Colonel Pelissier, of the Marine Artillery, has been named member of the Council of Naval Works, in the room of Colonel Frohault, removed to other functions. General Gyulai, who is still in Paris, will be re ceived to-morrow or the day after, in private audience by the imperor. It was rumoured that M. de Solignac Fenelon was recalled from Berne ; the rumour is unfounded. M. de Benkendorf, who is the bearer of a letter from the Emperor of Russia to the Queen of Spain, leaves this euening for Madrid. The arrivals of corn at Toulon since Saturday last have been 90,000 hectolitres. Prices have slightly declined. " Iu the month of April last," says the Moniteur, " the Joune Dieppois, French merchant vessel, was attacked in the neighbourhood of Cape Tres Forms, by the pirates of the Riff. That i•-ct was, on the part of the government of the Emperor, the subject of the most energetic representations to the government of Morocco, and his Majesty's consul general at Tangiers, in conformity with instruc tions sent to him, also demanded from the Court of Morocco an equitable indemnity in favour of the owners and crew of the pillaged vessel. The Moorish Government has just acceded to this claim, and the Governor of Tangiers has informed Viscount do Castillou that a sum of 7,000 pias'res (35,000 f.) was ready to be paid to him. There is no doubt that the Government of Morocco will cause the payment of this indemnity ultimately to fall on the guilty parties ; and it is already an nounced that a force is being collected to march into Riff. The result obtained by our consul-gene ral is the more remarkable that it is unprecedented. Up to this time, the Government of Morocco has never paid auy attention to remonstrances, even the most legitimate, unless in presence of an armed demonstration, and we have the more reason for congratulating ourselves ou the result of our appli cation, that by determining the Government of Morocco to accept the responsibility of the acts of the Riffites, we have imposed on it the obligation of providing for the security of its coasts."

APPROACHING MARRIAGES IN HIGII LIFE. The marriage of Captain the Hon. Frederick Fitz clarence, brother of the Earl of Munster, and the Hon. Miss Sidney, sister of Lord De Lisle and Dudley, is to take place this month. The precise day has not yet transpired. The marriage of Lady Charlotte Scott, eldest daughter of the late Earl of Eldon, and granddaughter of the learned and illustrious Lord Chancellor, with her cousin, Mr. R. Surtees Bankes, is to be solemnised towards the close of the month. A matrimonial alliance is arranged between the Hon. William Hobart, son of the Earl of Buckinghamshire, and Miss Ramsay, daughter of the late Sir Wm. Ra msay and niece to Lord Panmure. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge awl the Princess Mary are expected to arrive to-morrow in town, from Germany. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland remove to Stanwick Park, Yorkshire, from Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, at the close of the month. The Duke of Devonshire is expected to leave Lismore Castle, Ireland, at the end of the ensuing week. Lady Dover, the Earl of Burlington, and Lady Louisa Caven• dish, who have beeu among the guests of his grace, have left, the former on a short visit to the Earl of Carlisle, and the latter for Holkar Hall, near Milne thorpe. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury are enter taining a select circle at Hatfield House, Herts. The Marquis of Lothian has joined the circle visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield House, Herts. The Earl and Countess Grey have arrived at Ho wick Hall, Northumberland, from a series of visits in Soot land. The Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury returned a few days ago from a continental tour. The Countess and Lady Victoria Ashley went on a visit to Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, at Broadlands, near Romsey, Hants, and have since joined the noble earl at the family seat, St. Giles's, Dorset. LORD J. MANNERGI.—The Lsicoster Journal says : " We are enabled to state, from inquiries which have been instituted, that there is no truth in the statement that Lord J. Manners is in a very precarious state of health." THE SUICIDAL MANIA.—The number of suicides, by drowning and other causes, that have been reported to the chief police-office, Great Scotland-yard, within the last week, is 21, and the attempted suicides that have been taken cognisance of by being brought before a magistrate number upwards of 15 ; and notwithstand ing that the magistrates are very severe with persons charged with the offence, the crime is greatly on the in crease. COLONIAL GOVERNORSHIP NO SINECURE. —The labours of a colonial governor are recorded in the statistical summary of the Register-General of New South Wales for the year ending the Mat of March last.

AU STRIA., VrENNA, Oct. 6.—The result of the appeal wloich a few days since was made by Austria to the good sense of the King of Naples is n o t ye t k nown , b u t the prevalent impression in hi g h er po li t i ca l c i rc l es is that General von Martini's mission will not be attended with any great success. The rupture between the Neapolitan i Government and its repre sentative at this Court s so complete that for some time past the latter has been entirely without in structions. The oesterreichtsche Z e it ung, w hi c h i s supposed to acquire apart of it s i n f ormat i on at an official source, contains the following interesting piece of news : " Many of the foreign papers state that the Austrian Government has sent a squadron f rom P ola to share in the demonstration against Naples, but the news is pre mature. 'Until now no vessel but the war steamer, the Elizabeth, has received orders to proceed to the Bay of Naples."' The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort contains the following :—" The rumour to the effect that the Emperor of Austria will be crowned in thA spring of next year is without foundation. That ceremony will have to be preceded by the publica tion of a new rescript, which is rendered necessary by the new organisation of the provinces. Up to the present moment the document has not even been taken into consideration." A letter from Vienna in the Hamburg News says :—" Workmen are actively employed at pre sent on the various fortified places of Gallicia, and large sums are appropriated to the works, the in tention being to establish in Austrian Poland a system of fortifications not inferior to those in Russian Poland. Hitherto there have been on the north-west frontier only the fortified places of Olmutz and Pizenusl. But much more is Row to be effected, and the places just mentioned are to be greatly enlarged, so as to be able, like Verona in Italy, to accommodate a numerous body of forces. MONTENEGRO. A letter from Montenegro of the 26th ult., in the Osservatore Triestino, sa y s : _... , 4 The consul. general of Russia has arrived here this day from Ragusa, charged, it is said, w ith an important mission. The French con sul of Scutari arrived a few days ago, and bad a long interview with the prince. It is gen erall y believed his object is to induce the prince to conclude a treaty with Turkey, to the effect that Montenegro be declared part of Turkey as a separate duchy without payment of tribute, and under the sovereignty of the Petro vitsck dynasty ; the Sultan would have the 1 .'..1 . wers in of confirming the prince.

A letter from Genoa of the sth, in the Constittc tionnel, says :—" Every prepa ra ti en i s being made for the reception of the Empress Dowage r of Russia. Her Majesty will pass by this city in order to avoid the crossing of the Col de Tende, and will take her passage on board a steamer which General Lamarmora places at her disposal.

The journals have spoken of a Russian fleet Naples. Long which is to go to the Bay of before the publication of the Gortschakoff cit.! cular, the Emperor Alexander 11. had resolved on sending a flotilla into the Mediterranean, but it was merely to have it near his august mother, and to secure to her an asylum in the not very pro bable event of a revolutionary movement. This is the reason of the Russian vessels coming from Cronstadt. The smaller ones will winter at Nice, whilst those with a greater draught of water will proceed to Villefranche or to the port of Genoa. It is said that this naval force will be commanded by the Grand Duke Constantine. As to going to Naples, to mount guard in case of a conflict and of the appearance there of the Anglo-French squadron, it is needless to say that if the Russian navy had wished to assume a martial attitude it was at the tinao of the bombardment of Bomarsund, Sebas topol, Odessa, and Kertch that it should have done so. It will not do at Naples what it did not do at home." The nounces the d e p ar t ure o f Lord John R usse ll from Pianiont ese G aze tt e , of the 6th i ns t. , an. Turin for Genoa. M.

B.—The recent very severe HAMBURG, equinoctial gales which have ra ge d at sea are said to have caused some very heavy losses to our as surance companies. he r The Span the Northnish brig Perla, that was a b andoned by Sea, after a period of three days' sail from the Elbe, on her voyage to the Havannah with a valuable cargo (amounting, up said, to about 20,000/.), and fortunately picked by the Hartlepool steamer Gitaua, Captain Spence, on her way to this port, and conveyed to the British coast, as sal cu heaviest amo ng th e losses e, will fo rm one o f the experienced. From all that is stated it appears that the captain of the Perla was rather hasty in leaving the vessel, for there were only' two feet of water found i n her hold, and the other English crew would have repaire Eiderabl d. da mages were such that mu Captain Spence, of the Gr s itana, will benefit con by by the s a l vage, which, some say, will, amount to about 3,0001. for the crew and himself. After leaving the Perla in the port of Bridlington , the Gitana made good her voyage to the Elbe, and arrived very shortly after her usual time. The Grand Duke and Duchess of Saxe Weimar left our city yesterday morning, where they have been staying a couple of days, for Eutin, on a visit to the Duke of Oldenburg and family. No further accounts relative to the Danish Ali nisterial crisis have arrived from Copenhagen. The King's birthd a y was ce l e b ra t e d throughout his domibions with the usual rejoicings on Monday last, and several promotions and appointments took place on the occasion. A letter from Odessa, of the 26th ult., saye.:--- " The cessation of th e quarantine measures is a real benefit fmr our port, as well as for those in the Sea of Azoff, in a commercial point of view.

The prices resolved upon at the preliminary meeting held a fortnight age were maintained, but there was considerable underselling among makers of inferior qualities. The tendency of the market, upon the whole, was not satisfactory, influenced greatly by the state of the money market, but no positive information as to the position and prospects of the trade can be given until after the concluding meeting of the quarter at Dudley on Saturday evening next.
