L _ n r 1 bohn ; Li. de Canitz, from M . .; in t(: Nap; ; and Count Oriolla, from Rio Janeiro to Copenhagen. The Prussian Consul-General for the Principa lities will proceed to his post (says Spener's Journal), now that the Austrians have taken possession of those Principalities. The new . Turkish Envoy, Kiamil Effendi, and the members of the Legation, had the honour of being p resen ted to the King this afternoon at Sans Souci, and afterwards dined with their Majesties. The Queen, having been prevented by a slight in disposition from leaving Pilnitz yesterday, joined his Majesty this morning. THE PRUSSIAN DESPATCH. The Cologne Gazette, under its Berlin head, says : --" It is known that Austria proposed to have part of the military forces of the Germanic Confedera tion placed on a war-footing. It is also known that Prussia expressed in a circular of Atu,f. 3 her astonishment at that proceeding on the part of the cabinet of Vienna. But that is not all. That de spatch of Prussia drew forth a reply from Austria, in which it was said that the position of Austria with respect to her allies in Germany had been badly un derstood, and that the Prussian circular was not of a nature to throw light on that state of things. On the occasion of the treaty of April 20 , negotiations had taken place between the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, the results of which were set down in a convention. Austria had intended to submit that convention to the Germanic Diet, and Prussia is said to have declared that she admitted, in general, the communication of that docu ment to the Diet at a convenient moment.' That is the point on which Austria has based her first circular despatch. The Cabinet of Berlin has at length replied in a new despatch, in which it is said that all depended on what was understood by the expression convenient moment.' This new despatch of Prussia bears the date of the 31st of August." RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES. A Berlin letter in the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort says : " We are able to mention the principal clauses of the maritime convention concluded between Russia and the United States of America on the 23d of July last. The contracting parties declare in Article 1 that the following points shall be for them unvarying principles :-Ist. The flag shall cover the car g o, with the exception of contraband of war. 2d: The property of neutrals shall be respected, even in enemies' ships, except as regards contra band of war. The contracting parties engage to extend to the profit of the trade and navigation of all States the application of these principles which they agree to in a permanent and invariable man ner. In the second article the right is reserved of ulteriorly extending these principles which are im mediately to serve as rules in all wars in which Russia or the United States may be engaged. In the third article it is stipulated that the nations who may adhere by treaty to the principles laid down in this convention shall enjoy all the rights The from it to the present contracting Powers. -Ehe latter engage to communicate to each other all the results which may be obtained from the steps t hat may be taken on this point. It is finally sti pulated in the last article that the treaty shall be ratified at Washington within one month." POLAND. It is confidently reported at Warsaw that the favourite of the Czar, the Grand Prince Nicolas, is to be created Viceroy of Poland, with au inde pendent Government, under the protection of Russia. The Prince, a member of :the Greek Church, will first turn Catholic. ITALY. ARREST OF MAZZINI. The Journal de Geneve, of the 9th, contains the following "A letter from Berne, of the 7th, informs us that Mazzini has been arrested at Basle. He was coming f rum Berne, where he had spent some days in the house of a patrician, to whom he described himself as an Italian Count, greatly attached to Austria , and driven into Switzerland by the fear of the cholera. Ac cording to our correspondent, the police has discovered his residence, and was preparing to apprehend him, When he absconded, and left for Basle, under a false name. The Government gave notice to the authorities of his arrival, and he was arrested on alighting from the diligence." A revolutionary protest is being at present ex tensively circulated at Turin, and is sent by post to the journals ; so at least we presume from our own experience. The object of this protest is to cast a slur upon the present Government of Switzerland, for •its prudence in observing a strict neutrality, and in preventing any revolutionary expeditions from being prepared in Switzerland against the Italian States. The arguments are very poor, consisting chiefly of a recapitulation of the great deeds performed by Switzerland in the olden time to shake off the yoke of Italy, and a complaint that she has now forgot ten all that glorious history, and become the faith ful ally of the Austrian police. Wherefore the writer protests against what he calls the uncon stitutional conduct of Switzerland, and declares that the Italians will revenge themselves upon Switzerland on some future day, by exercising the right of reprisal against the Swiss settled in Italy. A letter from Naples of the 4th, in the Parla ment° of Turin, states that the cholera has sub sided in the former city, after carrying off 6,000 Victims. Cardinal Riario has been invested by the Icing with the Order of St. Januarius for his fearless conduct during the epidemic ; he used to get up at five in the morning, and go the round of all the hos pitals, comforting the sick, and performing the duties of ieligion wherever required. To relieve the most pressing cases of destitution the good prelate raised money upon his plate and upon his estates, without the slightest ostentation. The Parlamento of Turin quotes advices from Rome of the Ist., announcing that the cholera had made much progress there, and that the Chevalier Pistrucci a well-known artist, and superintendent of the Museum of the Vatican, had died of the disorder. FRANCE. The Emperor and Empress will, it is said, on the return of the latter from Biarritz, reside for some days at the palace of Compiegne. Great prepara tions are already being made for the reception of their Majesties ; and the hunting establishment has been sent to Compiegne. The Empress has sent a sum of 2,000 f. for the relief of the sufferers from the recent terrible fire at Saint Laurent-du-Pont, in the Isere. The do nation is accompanied by a most gracious letter from her Majesty's secretary. In some of our Paris contemporaries the portion usually devoted to what are called original articles is filled. with notices of the preparations for the attack upon Sebastopol, and speculations as to the mode in which it will be made. Most of these, however, are founded on the articles which have appeared in the English journals. The Debats says : " It is admitted that the landing of troops, or the pas sage of a wide river in the presence of the enemy, is one of the most difficult operations of war, and at the same time one of the rarest. According to General Jomini, the numerous armies which the great States keep up in our days, do not allow a descent of 30,000 or 40,000 men, as formerly ; and he regards it as nearly impossible to embark an army of 80,000 or 100,000 men, with its immense apparatus of artillery, cavalry, provisions, and ammunition ; consequently, the com bined army will at the present moment have executed what that great strategical writer locked on as impos sible. The experience of history demonstrates, he adds, the difficulties of a naval expedition, even for bodies of 50,000 or 40, 000 men only. There it is evident, he says, that with these restricted forces a descent ought to be attempted only against isolated colonies, or against a Power of the second rank which could not be immediately supported, or to effect a momentary diversion against a State whose troops would be occu pied at a distance from the spot by a great war. And thus the descent which is now being effected in the Crimea with a whole army, in face of a hostile army fully on its guard, will constitute a feat of arms as striking as it is new in the annals of modern wars, and which ought to strike the masters of the art with astonishment." The question of disposing in France of the pri soners from Bomarsund has already given birth to a number of applications from various towns in France. Cherbourg requests to have them to aid in executing the works in its port ; Algiers for the cultivation of the ground in its vicinity ; Nantes for the drainage of the Lake of Grandlieu ; and Orleans for the improvemet of the Sologne. What ever occupation they may be assigned (and it is certain that they will not be left unemployed), they are sure of humane treatment. General Count d'Hautpoul, commander-in-chief of the camp of the south, has announced to the authorities and to the Archbishop of Aix that the Emperor will visit the camp in the month of Octo ber. Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers arrived in Paris yesterday, and left this morning for Boulogne. The following telegraphic despatch arrived last night :—" This night a fire broke out in the goods warehouse of the A ries Railroad, it is said in th ree different parts. Although immediate and active aid was received, the whole, among which was a great number of bales of cotton, was consumed. The warehouse was insured for 500,000 f," We read in the 3loititeur de la Flotte :—" The Messager de /a Manchc announces as positive the arrival, next mon th, a t Ch er b ourg, of the entire of our Baltic squadron. This report, if not Pnfirel7 7,renndless, is at le .s& prenntnre, as there it;,'.!; kiiow tt , i yet subjecz, England herself is undecided what she will do with her ships. The sailing vessels are recalled, but the steamers have received no such orders. Probably the latter will only retire by degrees, according as they shall be driven out by the ice, and this hap pens some seasons earlier than others. Besides, we may be certain that as long as an English vessel re mains in the Baltic, we shall see a French vessel sharing the same fatigues and dangers.". The Three per Cents. closed yesterday at 74f. 10c. for the end of the month ;. the 41 per Cents. at 97f. 75c. ; and the New Loan, at 73f. 70c. ; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,235 f. ; Rouen, 970 f.; Havre, 582 f. 500. ; Great Northern, 855 f. ; Stras burg, 807 f. 50c. ; New Shares, 632 f. 50c. • Paris and Lyons, 977 f. 50 c. ; Lyons and the editer rancan, 8731. ; Western of France, 665 f. ; Bor deaux and Cette, 613 f. ; Great Central of France, 516 f. ; Lyons 'and Geneva, 532 f. 50c. ; Bank of Credit Mobilier, 728 f. 75c. • THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1854. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 9th, which ought to have arrived yesterday, and those of the 10th, due this morning, have come to hand. The Gazette contains the following circular from the Minister of the Interior to the Governors of provinces : " The liberty of printing and publishing his opinions, guaranteed to every Spaniard by the Constitution of the State, must not be extended in such a way as to cause every one to believe that he is authorised in neglect ing to obey the laws which regulate the exercise of it. The laws tend not only to prevent the press from making an abusive use of its sacred ministry, by con verting liberty into license, but also to prevent govern ments from giving false interpretations to principles, so as to impose unjust embarrassments on citizens in the exercise of such an important right. They are then a reciprocal guarantee for the press as regards the go vernment, and the government as regards the press, and maintain them both in the sphere of their rights. It is therefore necessary that the laws shall be a truth both for one and the other, and penetrated with that convic tion, her Majesty has deigned to order that your Excel lency shall scrupulously see in your province to the exe cution of the laws of 1837 and 1842, which have been provisionally re-established by royal decree of the Ist August of the present year, and by the circular of the same month. By royal order, I communicate this to your Excellency, in order that it may have full force and effect. God keep your Excellency many years. " SANTA CRUZ. " Madrid, sth September."_ . The Gazette publishes a Royal decree which sus pends the decree of the Bth February last relative to the Stock Exchange, and enacts that the nomi nation of brokers shall be suspended, as their num bers are to be reduced to a third. Major-General Bristow - , an Englishman, who has constantly contended for liberty in Spain, and who has been exiled by one of the preceding go vernments, has returned to Madrid. The Clamor Public() says : " Aranjuez has just witnessed deplorable events. According to some persons, cries of Hurrah for the Republic !' were set up, but others state that an at tempt to raise a Carlist band was made. What is cer tain is, that a conflict took place in which one poc r wretch was killed and another wounded ; but that the forces of the town, commanded by M. Valera, the new director, checked the movement, and made twenty pri soners, whom he sent to Madrid, escorted by the na tional guard." At Malaga some alarm had been occasioned by the assassination by a blind beggar of one of the commanders of the national guard. The na tional guard immediately demanded that the man should be shot, and the Government could only tranquillise them by promising prompt and severe justice. In several other parts of the kingdom, and especially in Estramadura and La Mancha, disturbances had taken place in connection with the municipal elections. The appearance of Car list bands in the provinces of Caceres and Toledo is mentioned ; but the Espana states, on authority of a letter from Paris, that the Count de Monte molino has sent a circular to his partisans, calling on them to remain quiet, and not to attempt to light up civil war. The Duke de Valencia had not left Logo up to the 4th, but was about to set out for Malaga to embark for Marseilles. The Duchess de la Victoria, wife of Espartero, passed through Vittoria on the 6th, on her way to St. Sebastian, and was received with almost frantic enthusiasm. A French steamer, the Chacal, arrived at Barcelona on the 6th to convey back to France a number of poor Frenchmen without means of subsistence. THE FRENCH ARMY IN THE BAST. The Moniteur says :—" The situation of our army in the East justly occupies the attention of the public ; persons badly informed have expressed a fear that the military administration could not sufficiently provide for all the wants of such a con siderable number of men. In order to remove all uneasiness, it is merely necessary to point out what has been done by the administration, to prove that solicitude could not have been carried further " Food.—The regular ration of meat of 250 grammes has been increased to 350 (rather more than the ill) English) ; the ration of bread from 750 grammes to 1,000 (about 21b 3ozs. English) ; and that of rice from 30 to 60 grammes. A good ration of coffee and sugar is given every day to the soldier, and replaced occasionally by a ration of wine. The distributions have been re gularly made from the very first day, and have gone on without interruption. The quantity of provisions which had been landed on the 20th ult., on the different points of the theatre of operations, will give an idea of the zeal and efforts which have been exercised to secure the re gular supply of our army in the East : Flour sufficient for 7,670,000 rations ; biscuit, for 4,830,030 ; rice, for 27,740,000 ; live cattle, for 5,200,000 ; salt beef, for 520,000 ; salt pork, for 2,140,000. To the above must be added the following supplies delivered at the end of August :—Live cattle sufficient for 2,800,000 rations ; wine, for 2,110,000 ; brandy, for 946,000; sugar and coffee, for 5,730,000 ; a further quantity of coffee and sugar for 4,584,000 rations was expected at the end of August. The consumption up to the end of August may be estimated at about 8,500,000 rations, leaving in store for the ulterior wants of the army 4,000,000 rations of bread and biscuit, 19,000,000 of rice, 2,160,000 of meat, and 4,870,000 of wine, sugar, and coffee. It must be remarked that, up to the present time, two-thirds of the consumption of the army has been in fresh meat, and the same proportion will be maintained for the future. The making of bread has been secured by the means of twenty-four field ovens sent from France, independently of the permanent ovens which have been constructing on different points.—Clothing, equipment, and camp equipage—Every man is provided with all the articles ste, down in the military regula tions. To these are added such others as the expe rience of the war in Algeria and the , anticipation of a rigouruus winter t‘k be passed on the coast of the Black Sea have proved to be necessary for the health and comfort of the soldier. In order to meet these additional wants without taking into account the re newal of the supply of the regular articles of equip ment there are about to be sent to the army of the East : Flannel belts 137,600 Great coats with hoods Worsted gloves (pairs).. 70,000 Sheepskin gaiters (pairs) 70,000 Cackias 70,000 Sheepskin great coats 15,000 Cotton shirts 280,000 Shoes (pairs) 290,000 Leather gaiters (ditto) 24,000 Linen gaiters (ditto) 25,000 Boots (ditto) 21,000 Half-boot (ditto) 6,500 Drawers (ditto) 21,000 together with a large supply .of blankets, tents, ves sels for cooking, and for the use of the different messes ; camping tools, pickaxes, shovels, hatchets, and every other necessary. The administration has besides sent out everything necessary for the formation of a foreign legion of 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry. The service of the permanent and field hospitals has been also abundantly attended to. The arrangements made will allow for the accommodation of 8,250 sick. Each of the hospitals is abundantly supplied with every necessary. The linen supplie iis sufficient for 180,000 dressings. Every attention has also been given to the supply of such articles as may be necessary for the food of the sick, There are 15 regularly-organised pharma cies with a supply of medicines sufficient for 7,500 sick for 3 months, and there has been a central depot estab lished at Constantinople, which has a supply in reserve sufficient for 6 months. It will be thus seen that from the moment of the arrival of etur troops on the theatre of war, and uninterruptedly until this day, their wants have been supplied, and that there are considerable quantities in reserve. These supplies will continue to be kept up with perfect regularity, so that no part of the Lervice will ever be allowed to be in want." THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND THE BEER LA W. At a public meeting of licensed victuallers, held in the saloon of Drury-lane Theatre, on Thursday week, it was determined, on account of certain circumstances which attended the passing of the recent act for the better re gulation of the sale of beer, to found a new association of their body for mutual defence and protection, and a committee of 20 members was appointed to draw up a series of rules, and to form its constitution, subject to the approval of the general body of subscribers. Yesterday the committee presented the rules, on which they had decided, to a general meeting, in the,same place, presided over by Mr. T. B. Simpson, of Cremorne Gardens. On the motion of Mr. Foster, seconded by Mr. Grimes, the rule was agreed to which enacted that the society be called the Metropolitan and Provincial Licensed Victuallers' Defence Association, and that its objects should be to get an immediate relaxation of the beer law ; to strive for its total repeal ; to take steps to promote the urgent interests of the trade, consistently with the wants and requirements of the public ; and so soon as existing societies, and the paper belonging to a great number of the members, would fulfil their duty to the trade, to work wit h them in combined action. The other rules, which comprehended the. organisa tion necessary to can:: out the foregoing objects, were all unanimously agreed . to,, and the proceedingsibrought to a close by the usual complimentary vote. () 7t; 1 4 ' V :NI AR K f4l COMAIEBCIAL INT ELL IGENO B. CITY, TV 0 o'CLOCK. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, including 1,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market was very tame, and prices were un changed. The sales comprised 4,500 American, 100 Pernam and Maranham at Gid. to 0 Bahia at 6gd., 800 Egyptian at sid. to 6id., and GOO Surat at 3d. to 40. per lb. Railway Shares were quiet. Colonial produce this week has been taken to a ' limited extent only, and prices have varied but little. Tallow is an article that has suffered rather decidedly, having declined. Tea has been heavy also, and in Cotton there has not been much done. There have been a few transactions in Rum, and Spices have been quiet. Sugar has been dull, and in Coffee the dealings have been limited. A mode rate business has been done in Saltpetre. The number of ships arrived in the Thames yes terday from foreign parts was 44 besides 45 colliers. There are further arrivals from Australia with bullion freights. The Indian Queen from Mel bourne arrived in the Mersey, brings 70,000 ounces, or rather less according to other reports. The Rodney from Sydney has 7,950 ounces and 6,500/. The dates are old. The increase in the rate of postage, as established by the Legislative Council of Victoria, is in itself a measure so unwise, that not even the plea of de ficient income will avail in palliation. A Sydney journalist very impartially adverts to this subject, and adduces the experience, not alone of the mother country, but likewise of New South Wales, against the revival of dear postage. The following is the view he takes : " While it is acknowledged that the Council had felt justified in the course they had taken, in imposing in creased rates of postage, mainly on a view of the utter . disproportion of the postage receipts to the expendi ture incurred in the conveyance of mails, and of the necessary extension of postal communication, Mr. La Trobe charitably trusts that these increased rates will not offer a bar to that interchange which is so much conducive to the advancement of civilisation. We thought it had been clearly under stood by this time, throughout the whole British em pire, that so far as the advancement of civilisation is dependent upon postal communication, the great art of adapting the means to the end is to make the charge for communication both cheap and uniform. After an experience of some fifteen years, the mother country has verified this truth to her full satis faction, and to the satisfaction, as was supposed, of all her colonies. We have tried the experiment in New South Wales, and au experience of more than four years attests its wisdom, whether viewed in its fiscal or in its social character. Nay, so deeply had we become convinced of its importance as a help to the cause of civilisation, that for -the last two years our Government have been doing all they could to induce the whole of the Australian colonies to cooperate in placing their postal relations upon a footing of cheapness and uniformity. To the best of our recollection, the appeal was responded to favourably from every one of them, even (so far at least as her Exe cutive was concerned) from Victoria herself. And now the hoped for arrangement is rudely destroyed by this legislative blunder ! The reformatory process has been reversed, and, by the enactment of a law in direct an tagonism to the spirit of the age, the Legislature of Vic toria has made itself unenviably conspicuous amongst her colonial sisterhood?' The market for United States Securities has been very dull this week. The report which gains ground as to the proba bility of a new French loan, is naturally calcu lated to interest all parties who watch the money market. The sum that will be required is stated at 16,000,0001., and if this statement be correct, it would appear that the expenditure of our neighbours for domestic as well as warlike purposes, more than keeps pace with our own. Anyone visiting France, and more especially Paris, at this moment, must be sensible of the large outlay which the State is incurring, the pub lic works department alone absorbing a good sum, but while so much is expended at home, the indus trious classes benefit, however the public burdens may be augmented. It is an evil that borrowing should have to be resorted to, but there is no al ternative when a war struggle is being carried on, between immediate and onerous taxation and re course to loans. Here we have seen great opposi tion to Mr. Gladstone's plans for raising the larger part of the war expenses by increased imposts, but the results promise to be salutary. There has been a heavy tone again in the Eng lish funds, and the quotations have not recovered from the depression which occurred yesterday afternoon. The statement about a new loan for France, acting upon a dull market, is the cause. Consols have been 95 to for transfer, and from 95 b have receded to 951 for account. .The New 31 per Cents. have been done at 83k, and since at 821 for special delivery. Exchequer-bills have been at 6s. to Os., and East India Bonds at 10s. premium. Foreign Securities are heavy. Spanish Three per-Cents. have receded to 37/1, and the Deferred to 181. Mexican Bonds have been at 247 ; to 25, and Brazilian New at 96. The Turkish Scrip down to 4- to 5 premium. There are no bargains in Dutch or Russian Stocks. Sardinian have been quoted 88. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to G. ; Mexican, 241 to 241 ; Peruvian, 70 to 72 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 98 to 100 ; ditto, 4} per Cents., 88 to 90 ; Spanish Now Deferred, 18i to 18i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 371 to 38i ; ditto Certificates. 5i to 51 ; ditto Passive 4 to 4k. Railway Shares have been at rather lower rates than yesterday, the effect of the settlement having in some measure passed away. The decline is most perceptible in Lancashire and Yorkshire, North- Western and Berwick. The foreign lines are still merely nominal. For the Gold and other Mining Shares there is no inquiry, the Banks are firm, though quiet, and the Crystal Palace have not recovered. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

STATE OF TRADE.—The continued inactivity in the lace trade appears to be operating dishearteningly on the spirits of our manufacturers, and they begin to indulge the impression, that unless the long-expected improve ment absolutely sets in between the 20th and 30th inst., little hope remains of doing a successful autumn busi ness, and their hopes must TDe directed onwards to the spring Meanwhile no change has occurred, and things remain exactly where they were, the protracted character of the existing dulness being regarded as its most unfa vourable symptom. The state of the American Money Market continuing still to be so unsatisfactory restricts hosiery business to home transactions ; no shipping trade i s doing. The manufacturers, however, are grat e f u l th a t the very multiplicity of branches into which the trade has gradually extended renders the home demand ade quate to cause fair employment to be kept up. Those unacquainted with the ramifications of the trade could scarcely, indeed, have any conception of the ext en t an d variety of these additions to our hosiery manuf ac t ures , or the vast range included, in its productions, from the large under-clothing technically known as "pantaloons," to the elastic branches, comprising baby jumpers for the home trade, and coloured belts for the Australian market. It is to these resources that hosiery is indebted for the maintenance of its energies in the absence of a favourable foreign business.—Not(inghantshire Cluardian. SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAT.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Among the contradictory opinions of the medi cal profession on the treatment of cholera, I find that ordinary friction is the only one on which they, one and all, agree. There can be no such friction without mes meric influence being conveyed, yet ordinary friction is not the most efficient method of applying mesmerism, and for this reason I beg to add my mite of experience in allaying the scourge of the human race. Having attended many cases of cholera in Exeter, in 1832, as well as since that period, I beg to offer a few remarks for public consideration. As complete prostration of strength from the loss of nervous energy and severs cramps are the most constant and prominent symptoms of cholera, I am induced tck think that the vomiting and diarrhoea are only the effects of the malady, as both of these accompaniments are sometimes wanting in the most rapidly fatal cases of cholera. The exudation of the most fluid part of the blood from the whole of the alimentary canal is accompanied with the most insatiable thirst, which must be gratified by some harmless fluid, such as cold water in quantity, even by gal lons. The powers of digestion are so much suspended as to be insensible to the salutary action of food, calomel, brandy, laudanum, or other medicinal substances, and I believe that much of either of them impedes the recover) , of the patient. As the nervous system is so much ex hausted, we must endeavour to restore that from a healthy and congenial source, which can be most effectu ally and naturally done by mesmerism or friction down wards, by a relay of foUr or five vigorous and healthy persons, to succeed each other at the end of 20 minutes, one only of them to remain with the patient during the time. Mesmerism should be also applied by breathing warm air vigorously over the heart. A few grains of bi-carbonate of soda, with mint, may be added to the water in cases of excessive thirst. The cramp of preg nant women is relieved in a few minutes by mesmerism, and I have known patients in the collapsed state of cholera, and considered as hopeless, completely restored by adopting the above means,—l remain, sir, &c., JOHN BATTISHILL PARKER. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SCOTTISH CENTRAL. The report of the directors of this company states that the sum expended on capital account during the half year amounted to 12,2111. less 3,3501. for land sold to the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway Company, leaving 8,861/. The directors recommend that the outlay to be incurred for the extension of locomo tive workshops and new machinery shall not exceed what is absolutely necessary for the requirements 01 this company, taking into consideration the obli g ation incurred by them for w or ki ng th e F ort h and Clyde Junction and Crieff railways, when completed. The sum of 4,0641. has been expended on waggons to meet the rapid increase of traffic. The net amount of expendi ture on the capital account to the 31st of July last was 1,615,8561. Of this sur... 1,018,5101. had been raised on original stock, 152,5181. on , preference stock, and 417,878/. on loans, together 1.588,9071. leaving a ba lance against the company of 26,9491. The estimated expenditure for works and plant to be added to this amounts to 70,0001., so that the total deficiency on capital account amounts to 96,948/. To meet this there remains 97,4811. to be raised on preference shares,l6, 000/. on loans, and 1,490/. arrears of calls on original stock, making toga. I ther 114,9711., leaving a surplus, after providing for every contingency, of 18,0221. The directors estimate they will be able to close the capitalaccountat 1,685,856/., or at an outlay of 70,0001. beyond the present expen. diture. They state that the shareholders may rest as sured that every effort will be made to reduce this estimate and close the capital account below the figures stated. The estimate of the expenditure is made on a wide basis, in order to provide fully for all that is necessary to complete the line. The revenue account for the half-year shows an increase of 2181. in the passenger traffic, and 7,0601. in the goods traffic, together 7,2781. over thei corresponding period of 1853. The working expenses amount to 41i per cent, of the receipts, being 2/ per cent. less than those at the corresponding period of 1853, which amounted to 44 per cent. That reduction was made notwithstanding the greatly increased cost of labour and material. The train miles run during the half year were 239,672, of which 148,143 were by goods trains, and 91,529 miles by passenger trains. The re ceipts per mile per goods train amounted to 4s. 51d., against 3s. 91d. at the corresponding period of 1853; and for passenger trains to 65., against ss. 10id. per mile at the corresponding period of 1853. The increase in the receipts per train mile is most satisfactory, and is to be attributed, in a great measure, to the general rise of rates to which allusion was made in the last report. The balance from the last account amounted to 9,234/., and the surplus profit on the half-year to 20,916/. making a disposable sum of 30,1501. The directors re commend that a dividend at the rate of four and a half per cent. per annum on the consolidated stock should be declared payable on the 29th of September, which will amount to 22,9501., leaving a surplus to be carried forward of 7,2001. The dividend of 4s. 2d, per share on the preference stock will be paid at the same time. The net revenue for the year ending the 31st of July amounted to 44,455/., and the dividend, at the rate of 4 per cent. in March last, and the proposed dividend of 41 pe r cen t, now, to 43,3501., leaving balance of 1,1051. ; th e di v id en d for the year avera a gl 4/ per cent. Th e di rec t ors regret the failure of the eng ma sure for amalg ama ti ng t h e S cottish Central and Scot tish- Midland Railway Companies. A traffic ar rangement has been concluded with the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, Scottish Midland, and Dundee and Perth Railway Companies, for a period of seven years, under which the evils of competition are avoided. The capital account shows that 1,712 ; 984/. had been ex pended, and 1,686,035/. received, leaving a balance against the company of 26,9481. The revenue account for the half-year shows that 59,0851. had been received and 24,593/. expended, leaving a balance of 34,492/. The cost of working the passenger trains is at the l rate m. of 10 62d per m il e, and of goods tra i ns 9.62 d. per ; the average number of carriages in a train being 0169, and of waggons in goods trains 19'63. THE EZ7ON AND EXETER Taanfriva COLLEGE.— The committee of the Devon and Exeter Training Institu ion, having secured the services of Lord J. Russell, the Lord President of the Council, and upwards of 100 noblemong gentlemen, and clergymen as stewards on the occai ion of the opening of the institution, have determined to celebrate the occasion with great éclat.

CORN EXCHANGE. The present week's arrival of English wheat, coastwise, has been but moderate. Fresh up to-day, the receipts by land carriage were limited, and the show of samples was small. For most kinds we had a steady demand, and flue qualities realised an advance of is per quarter. Old wheats were quite as dear as on Monday. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, but the imports continue trifling. About an average business was transacted, and, in some instances, the quotations were in favour of the sellers. Floating cargoes were tolerably Arm. There was rather more inquiry for grinding barley, at very full prices, but the sale for malt was dull. We had a steady sale for oats, at an advance of is per quarter. Beans and peas met a dull sale; but flour was firm. The top price of English was 50s per 2801bs.
