Who is a vigorous opponent of Russia, and a n o p en contemner of the "snivelling" policy of Prussia and the smaller German States. A letter from Vienna, of the 15th, in the Cassel Journal, says :—" We learn from a good s ource that th e Austrian Cabinet will not come to a defi nitive resolution cone( rning the proposal of an Offensive and defensive alliance with the Western Powers, until the result of the propositions sub raitted to the Diet by Baton Von Proketsch-Osten, as also that of the military operations commenced in the Black Sea, be known. All that may s afel y said i n th e interval is that, should the proposi tions submitted to the Diet not be so favourably received as Austria might wish, but, on the other hand, the military operations in question be crowned With success, the conclusion of the said alliance will no longer be doubtful, whatever the Berlin Papers may say to the contrary.' • The Press of Vienna, of the 14th, says :—" It is known that Baron Proketsch-Osten, representative of Austria at the Diet, has submitted to the com mittee of the Diet several questions, and amongst others that of deciding how far the situation of Germany is changed by the default of temporary ex planations on the first point of the additional article of the Austro-Prussian treaty, which says that offensive operations would be commenced, if Russia incorporated the principalities or passed the Balkans. We learn from a sure source that Prussia has declared her opinion on that point in a circular, dated September 3 • she says that the eventualities provided for by that article being dis tant, it ought to be looked ou as without effect ; and that Prussia would not take part either in a war of aggression against Russia or in other coercive measures, having for object to enforce the execution of the guarantees demanded, and that, in. fine, Germany could not give a more extensive application to the treaty of April 20, if Prussia did not consent to it. Austria, she adds, has not to fear any attack on the part of Russia. There are positive indications that Austria has recently suc ceeded in coming to an understanding with Ba varia and Saxony on the Eastern question. The gravity of the situation has caused these Cabinets to comprehend that the attitude of Austria is very advantageous to German interests." A letter from Vienna of the 12th, in the Breslau Gazette, says :-- "The Prussian ambassador announced in the audience giren him by the Emperor, before his depar ture, .the arrival of new propositions of mediation, drawn uP by the Prussian Government. The ambassador at the same time thanked the Emperor, in the name of his Sovereign, for the last resolution of Austria with respect to the Russian reply, and expressed the hope that the winter which is approaching would present an opportune occasion for conferences and negotiations. It is possible, a eveitheless, that Prussia will be deceived in countin g ra change in the policy of Austria. The latter ewer, i n fact, is firmly determined not to abandon the position which it has taken up in the Principalities, is the interest of the Porte and of Germany, except under the condition that Russia shall consent to convert the present de facto situation into one de jure by aceeding t o a general European treaty, in which the demands of guarantees of the Western Powers shall be set forth at i t lalgth. It will, therefore, be seen that it is necessar y th emselves of a pledge which shall cause the submission of 3 Russia. C onsequen tly the projected expeditions of t • e Crimea and Bessarabia can excite no objection, as it 1 . 0 :,riatural that, in the state of war in whic h the Western -r were are with Russia, each party should endea vour to obtain the most advantageous position." The resignation of Count Buol, of which the re port was first set afoot by a Belgian journa l —no d oubt ) with the most innocent intent—is declared to be unfounded. The aide-de-camp of Prince Danilo, of Monte negro, arrived here a day or two ago. Russia, it would seem, has withdrawn her magnanimous Subsidy for the support of his highness's state, was impli c it o b e dience to the Czar's comm ands was refused. The Prince now offers to throw him self altogether into the arms of Austria, if this Go • . e rnra. twill 1 z en on y help him to live, and assist him to maintain order among his mountain bri gands, Perhaps the boon demanded may be granted—but, of course, only under conditions Which will be generally approved of in Europe. PRUSSIA. The Post Amt Gazette of Frankfo rt has the followin g from Berlin, of the 15th :—" The Kin g hag refused, in the most flattering terms, to accept the resignation of General Count de Groeben, as commander of the guard. The count assigned as the motive of his resignation the state of his health, which would not permit • him to fulfil his military duties in case of more serious events. The King, in refusing to accept the resignation, is said to have _Observed that no s uch events were to be appre hended, and that, consequently, the general ought not to pay attention to such considerations." A letter from Vienna, of the 121, says :—" The Moniteur of the Army publishes the names of sun dry officers who have been decorated for improve ments in military arms and equipments, and amongst them is Colonel de Lenk of the artillery, who has received the insignia of the Order of Leopold for a discovery which allows the employment with great advantage of cotton-powder for artillery. The Emperor has already ordered the practical applica .tion, of the invention to that arm, and cannons are being at present cast for the purpose." SWEDEN. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 12.—The Government has given up its absurd intention of prosecuting the speakers at the Copenhagen meeting. It contents itself, to begin with, with a new prosecution against the Redrelandet, for its moderate and half-humor ous article on the opening of the Court-Junta Otigs-raad). Lord Canning and Mr. Tritton are here with their yachts. The French war-steamer Cycette has Passed to the south. Several other vessels are coming and going. Military evolutions on a large scale are taking place in Schleswig, as well as round Copenhagen. There has been a considerable fire in Stockholm. The only vessel of the allies now near Stockholm is the the Austerlitz, to which visits are dail y made. imperial eagle is everywhere on board ; but, ,Singularly enough, four lauding c annons have still their proud old inscription, " Re p ubli q ue Fran caise ; Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite. Up to the last dates the fail of Bomarsund was still kept secret from the Finnish papers. A whole armfull of British ports has been de clared by King Oscar infected or su s p ected ; his own cholera residence is, of course, still excluded from ;legislation. And this we patiently submit to. Swedish half-official press, it is remarked, ":_s openly acknowledged that these st e p s are go 17y " other than sanitary reasons." True, it his simply been a weapon more in the arsenal of a - "ussian court. FR AN CE. ARRIVAL OF QUEEN CHISTINA. s, Tuesday Morning.—The French steamer -Newton arrived in the Garonne on the 17th, with Queen Christina on board. The article of the Moniteur, on the alliance be tween France and England, is copied without zom rnentary by all the Paris journals of yesterday. Some remarks of the Siecle will be read. with in. terest, for they set forth in plain and unequivoca . terms, what was, from a reserve which will be duly appreciated, intentionally vague in the Moniteur. The Siecle says : " The 1 oniteur has published a long and important political article. There are in it two very distinct things : in the first place the eulogiums on the policy of the Chief of the State, and afterwards a kind of declaration on the affairs of the war carried on in common by the two ma ritime powers. As we are not in a situation to discuss the points of internal administration which the Govern ment journal applauds, we shall only turn our attention to what regards the immense undertaking in which Prance has now engaged her honour, Jaer -finances, her army, and her blood. The Government , in order t o bring this undertaking to an honourable conclusion, Particularly relies on the close alliance of France and Ilangland. The Moniteur does not mention the names (4 the German powers. It confines itself to remarking that generals from all the Sfates of Germany have been sent by their Governments to be present at the military tnanceuvres of our camps. It thus supports itself on the kind of European international verdict which has solemnly condemned the ambition of the Czar. But it i s on this point, if we do not deceive ourselves, that the article of the Moniteur becomes a kind of manifesto di rected not precisely against the powers of whom we have just spoken, but against the absence of acts in support of their first decision. All are convinced,' says the official journal, ' that a prompt and energetic war is the only means of re-establishing peace on solid bases ; that in short this war, commanded not by a spirit of conquest, but for the honour and safety of all, was not undertaken until after Europe, represented in a sort of international Grand Jury, had delivered unanimously against the guilty aggressor a verdict which it would have been disgraceful not to have executed. Nevertheless in spite of the d:sg,race which there would have been in not exe cuting it against the ;guilty aggressor, the Moniteur o nl y mentions 'France and England as having resolutely ranged themselves on the side of execution. France and England could riot,' says the official journal, 'hold back from that consequence. United for action as they had been in council the two great maritime powers share the glory of the vigorous resolution which forms the security of the present and the guarantee of the future.' But why are England and France alone to share that glory of resolution and of action F Why have they not been followed on the fields-of-battle by the German Powers? What has prevented a verdict which has been given unanimously from being executed unanimously I What has prevented the guilty aggressor who has been condemned by all from being also attacked by all ? What is the reason that, in an enterprise prompted by a sense of general honour and safety, the whole of Europe has not taken part in the action, as it took part in the censure ? On this subject as well as on that of the German powers themselves, the Moni teur has thought it its duty to maintain silence. It ap pears to u.s, however, that it would have been interesting for the country to know what calculation may be made on the eventual attitude of Austria : and on that of Prussia, and in what light for instance is to be regarded the occupation of the Danubian province- , by the troops of his Majesty Francis Joseph. Assuredly France and England, united in a close alliance, may with reason, we are convinced, pronounce the 211Pclea superest. They may be without any fear as to the issue of the enterprise. Their union alone inspires him who provoked the war, with barbarous and senseless acts unworthy of true cou rage, and their union will, we hope, be sufficient to in sure victory. It is nut, therefore, we who will ever excite the Government to seek per fax et nefas for an Austro- Prussian alliance. The English alliance is sufficient for us both as Frenchmen and as partisans of the revolution. But we cannot prevent ourselves from observing that the situation of Europe, if it should be prolonged, might became anormal. There has been, as the Moniteur says, a common judgment delivered, and has great interna tional verdict, up to the present time, has only been carried into execution by France and England. Two nations only fight for the safety of all. There is in this a want of logic which cannot continue without prejudice to those who have created such a state of things. Austria, and more particularly Prussia, ought to reflect on this. A power of the first order, when it is engaged in council, cannot, without danger to its own influence and to its own honour, refuse its action ; when judg ments have been passed, it cannot without incurring a loss of esteem abandon to others the execution of them." The Revue de Deux Mondes takes the following view of the course pursued by Austria in the Eastern question : _ _ _ " Assuredly we have every confidence in the loyalty of Austria, and do not suspect her of' an arriere-pensec. She has given proofs of her good faith. She has even given pledges that she will act in concert with us, by lending her name, not, perhaps, without some regret, to the conferences on Eastern affairs, thereby affording to Russia an honourable and safe retreat. We can account for her embarrassments, and respect her scruples. We can also make every allowance for her methodical habits in politics. All that is well, as far as it goes, but there are others, as sensible and as moderate as ourselves—we mean the crowd, who judge by facts, by instinct, who are not always mistaken, who are sceptical and suspi cious, demanding acts, not words, and tempted on all occasions to repeat those words of the poet—" La foi qui n'agit point est-ce une foi sincere ?" Therefore, this auditory, who follow the march of events with lively in terest, have at this moment, we must confess, serious misgivings as to the result. They loudly applauded the declaration of Bth August. They saw in it, even sup posing it to have no effect on Russia, a determination to act with vigour and prudence, since our troops, with the Turkish army in advance, being masters of the Danube, could have easily united with the Austrian army. It was generally supposed that, in the event of Russia refusing to accept the four guarantees, the Court of Vienna, after so many fruitless at tempts at conciliation, all her military preparations being completed, with nothing to fear on the side of Servia, Montenegro, and Bosnia, would have frankly joined the alliance of the Western Powers, that she was resolved beforehand to act with them in case it should be the intention of Russia not to make the slightest concession until compelled thereto. But they were greatly mistaken. Austria had decided otherwise, for without a moment's hesitation, without wasting time in deliberating, contrary to her usual habits, she determined not to consider the negative answer of Russia as a casus belli. This resolution was adopted at Vienna, not only with incredible promptitude, but, what is more extraor dinary, was published with the same rapidity. We can not take on ourselves to say whether the Governments most interested were apprised of it before the newspapers and the public, at least we may have some doubts on the subject, as the news spread so rapidly. The Russians, pre-occupied with our preparations for the expedition to the Crimea, and dreading an open rupture with Vienna, knew at once that they had nothing to fear from Aus tria, at least for the present. It was evident the Aus trians were about to enter the principalities, but Omer Pasha was already at Bucharest, and, for a reason we cannot explain, Prince Gortschak , ,ff's army was retiring behind the Pruth. Therefore, since there was to be no collision, since the Austrians were not to pursue the Russians into their own terrritory, the occupation of Wallachia by the Austrian troops was of very little im portance as a political demonstration against Russia, and does not sufficiently compensate for the embarrassments and susceptibilities which it must cause both at Con stantinople and in the principalities. "It is to be lipped, for the honour of Austria, that she will not content herself with merely applauding the removal of all obstacles to the free navigation of the Danube, or with marching her soldiers into a territory which no one contested, as it would not be a safe game for her to play. We look for ward with great confidence to the success of the expedition to the Crimea, and we are convinced that our success is also desired at Vienna. For that reason, it is not from fear of a check in that direction, which would allow the Russians to re-enter the Principalities or to threaten Gallicia, that we consi der the attitude assumed by Austria both injurious and unaccountable, as it implies neither war nor penis. It is because we think the capture of Sebastopol will not put an end to the war, for, having to deal with a Power so tenacious and proud as Russia, whose territory is sheltered from all attacks, it will be of very little use to strike a blow towards its extremities, no matter what humiliation and damage might be the consequence. The taking of Sebastopol would never insure peace. The belligerents miL4lat be driven by the force of circumstances and by reciprocal engagements to seek or to adopt modes of warfare which they could not have anticipated. Then will Austria haie cause to regret not having thrown the weight of her sword into the scales. •She cannot possibly expect to have the same weight when she did not share the same dangers. And if, in the development of a situation, of which nobody can foresee the issue, she experienced embarrassments peculiar to the conditions of her existence, can she expect support from Powers she has not assisted in an enterprise, though she approves it, and is already reaping the benefit of its success." THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1854. SPORTING NOTES. LEICESTER AND MANCHESTER. I shall redeem my promise by briefly directing attention to the programmes of the Leicester and Sr Manchester Meetings, albeit so little interest do the events appointed to be decided at either place ex cite that anticipatory remarks on them will be scarcely expected. The list of sport at Leicester contains twelve items, but the meeting most un fortunately clashes with the " last day" at Bed ford, and the opening day at Manchester, a cir cumstance which will contribute to shorten the fields, and diminish the attendance of company. Sharavogue heads the list of acceptances at Bst 121 b, and the animals likely to be pitted against him will, despite his heavy impost, find in him a troublesome opponent. Should he start, therefore, I shall, with " Sam's" assistance, expect him to pull through. In his default Lurley may prove the winner. Sharavogue is, by the way, also entered for the County Cup, which on paper looks a " certainty" for him. This event and the Handicap are to be decided on the same day ; whether he will do battle for both I am, of course, unable to determine. Among the nominations to the Two-Year-Old Stakes are Cimicina, Rambling Katie, Pole Star, Lord Alfred, Jack Sheppard, and Mrs. Rigby. The last-mentioned will start " unpenalised ;" and should her two "severe heats" with Ellermire over the hard ground at Doncaster have produced no stiffening effect on her, I shall, should she go to the post, select her against the field. The Belvoir Stakes I shall not touch upon. 25 St. 20 St, Among the " rips" likely to compete for the Scurry Handicap, Butterfly and Game Chicken may show to good advantage. The 10 Sovs. Han dicap may be placed to the credit of either Bright Phoebus or The Poet. .. Sport is generally pretty good at Manchester, and the betting somewhat brisk. The meeting appointed to take place on Thursday and Friday is likely to show few shortcomings in these respects. Cherry Brandy's running at Doncaster last week was sufficiently good to induce me to place faith in his ability to concede weight to the "youngsters" likely to oppose him for the Chesterfield Handicap. He will, however, encounter powerful Resistance, and His Piper may sound his retreat. For the Wilton Handicap I shall select The Little Fawn and Jetty Treffz. Black Doctor has been so little worked this year that I am induced to place him under suspicion. Hazlenut and Patience are en titled to favourable notice for the Welter Handi cap. From the twenty-five animals weighted for the Northern Metropolitan, I select Lou g h B awn, Helena, Maid of Team Valley, Domino, and Pumicestone, as forming a "lot" most likely to furnish the winner. I have not yet seen the weights for the Grand Stand Stakes and the Northern Subscription Han dicap. A FRESH MAN, September 19. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) I 25 THE EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT AT MURDER. It appears from inquiries instituted this morning that the unfortunate gentleman, Mr. Willoughby, w h o dis charged a pistol at Mr. Giffard, the barrister, w h i l e sitting in the Old Court, is related to Mr. Alderman Kennedy, and it appears that he has been for some time in an unsound state of mind. Mr. Giffard was in court this morning, and it is satis factory to be enabled to state that he appears to have received very slight injury. The unfortunate gentleman is a clergyman, and holder of two livings. Since his committal to Newgate his conduct has not been at all particular. After his removal to the cell where he was locked up, he became somewhat excited, but not more so than prisoners under charge generally 20 20 10 10 John Smith, 19, carrier, William , Watts, 22, la bourer, and Henry Luke, 19, labourer, were indicted, Smith for stealing 121 yards of silk, value 361. 11s. Bd., the property of John Gillard, his master, and the others with having received the goods. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, Mr. Payne was for Luke, Mr. O'Brien for Smith, and Mr. Sleigh for Watts. It appeared that Smith was in the employment of a carrier, and amongst other goods which he had to de liver was a box of silk from Bridgewater, to Messrs. Cook, of St. Paul's Churchyard. Luke and Smith had been seen in company upon the day Smith had the box of silk. Upon that day Smith left his horse and cart, which was subsequently found at the green-yard. Upon I that day Luke was apprehended by the police in posses- I sion of some of the property, and then said he had found the box in the street. When Smith was taken in charge he gave as his reason for leaving his cart that, having missed the box from it, he was afraid to come home. With regard to Watts, nothing was proved except that he was seen in their company. The evidence as to the identity of the silk not being very clear, the prisoners were acquitted. 20 20 20 25 St. 10 St. 25 20 20 50 20 20 20 20 20 20 10 20 20 .00 fAbcrdeen. 8:1 Ambg. Nottng.

MADRID, 16th.—The Gazette will to- morrow publish the nomination of General Zabala as Cap tain-General of Castillo, and that of General San Miguel as Inspector of Cavalry. Generals Ler - sundi and Turron have arrived at Madrid. The police have visited and searched an hotel, where they supposed they should find M. Soule. General Narvaez went from Loja to Malaga, where lie was received with the honours due to his military rank, and embarked on the 11th for Mar seilles. General O'Donnell was taken ill very suddenly on the 14th while giving audience at the War-office. The complaint is stated to be bilious cholic ; but whether cholic or cholera, he soon recovered from it, and is now doing well. A Royal decree has been published annulling the decree published by the preceding Government, by which the order of Geronimitan Friars was re-esta blished at the Escurial. The preamble to it is signed by all the Ministers. General Shelly has resigned the Captaincy-Ge neral of Granada, and General Hoyos is gazetted in his place. The .Augsburg Gazette informs us that the insur rectionary party in lower Albania and Thessaly is again lifting its head. Between the 12th and 15th of August the robber chief Skalyojitini was atßa , dovitzi, in Epirus (where the revolution com menced) with 500 men ; Grivas is with 1 , 500 , an d Katarathia with 600 men in Thessaly. If Sebas topol should fall, we shall probably hear nothing more of these heroes, and soon learn that his Ma . jesty King Otho has become more tractable. THE SWELL MOB IT BANCHORY.—A few of those speculative individuals who set at nought the ordinances which regulate the rights of property, availed them selves of the opportunity afforded by her Majesty's visit to Banchory to astonish the natives by their dexterous manipulation. From one man's pocket the circulation of the current coin was illegally accelerated, while an other man, looking to the safety of his own purse, drew forth the empty one of his neighbour, which the wily artist had transferred to his custody after appropriating the contents. "The public attention" of Banchory was immediately called to these mysterious events, and the result was the capture of the delinquents. After her Majesty's departure a court of justice was improvised for the trial of the offenders by some of the county ma gistrates who were in attendance, and the prisoners were arraigned. Their worships, however, had no clerk, and their desire to vindicate the outraged law was likely to prove unavailing ; but from this dilemma they were relieved by the offer of a gentleman connected with the local press to take down the evidence. The testimony of the complainants having been duly re corded, the magistrates proceeded to attach their sig natures to the depositions, but their dismay was very great on finding the page covered with those wild-look ing and flighty memorials which are called into exist ence by the pen of the stenographer. Their worships could make nothing out of the manuscript but hooks and eyes and quaint figures of less simple proportions, and they suggested that the stenographer should copy out the notes for their enlightenment. They declined, however, to say that they would reward him for his trouble ; and on his refusal to perform the work gratui tously, the only course remaining for their adoption preparatory to the committal of the offenders was to affix their names to a mysterious document, the contents whereof had baffled the keenest efforts of their' in tellect. THE AUTHORSHIP OF JUNIUS.—Mr W. Cramp is pre paring for press a brief memoir of Solomon Dayrelle, Esq., the godson and intimate friend of the celebrated Earl of Chesterfield ; also some account of Mrs. Christa bella. Dayrolle, the amanuensis of Junius; A. memoir of the presumed confederates of Junius must be considered. a desideratum by all who feel an interest in the dis coveryof the great political satirist, since Junius, who. ever erhe was, must have had one or more confidential person's to assist him.- -Critic. PAISLEY SANITY.—In the Registration Court, Paisley, the question was incidentally mooted whether confine ment of an elector in a madhouse was a sufficient reason for expunging the name of the unfortunate individual from the roll. One gentleman declared most emphati cally, that if madness was a disqualifying circumstance, at least one-half of the electors on the roll were liable to hay° their names Otruck off,—Pctfley journal. M 0 E 4 MA II K AND f)OMMERCIAL INTELLIG-ENcE. CITY, TV o o'CLOCK The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, including 1,000 American, taken for export and on speculation ; 140 Perlman and Maranham, at 61d. to 7ld'. ; 50 Bahia, at 6 d. ; 200 Egyptian, at sid. to 70. ; and 500 Surat, at 3d. to 4&d. per lb. Railway shares were dull and heavy, at rather lower prices. The occurrence of failures is at all times calcu lated to arrest attention, and the information has been received with much regret, therefore, of the suspension of Messrs. Dean, Youle, and Co., of Liverpool, in the South American trade. We fear, nevertheless, that many other stoppages will occur ; the result, in the first place, of that re striction in business occasioned by the war, and more recently of the embarrassments on the other side of the Atlantic. The agriculturists of the United States will be partially crippled in their means, and will be more economical in their purchases of manufactures, owing to the partial failure of the Indian corn crops, while the derangement among the railway speculators will prevent the extension of the lines and the giving of contracts for iron and other materials. Here then is a direct influence exercised upon our manufacturers, and those who were originally weak, aad who have suffered by the reaction in the Australian trade, by the China rebellion, and the Turkish war, may perhaps have to succumb. One result of the reaction in America will. be to arrest the remittance of State bonds and securities, which was being so freely made to Europe, and so far the London money market will experience relief. How far the convulsion in American railway property is justified, it would be impossible for us at a distance, to say, though we apprehend there has been enough of extravagance and mismanagement, as in England. While one party maintains that railroad stocks are inherently rotten, and must further decline iu the United States, others who have also local opportu nities of judging prognosticate an improvement. The Erie stock has fallen seriously, and the holders at New York have laboured under a complete panic, but the directors assert that this is not justified by the position of the company. This they explain in the following circular, which is in teresting to many parties having shares and stock here : • "Office New York and Erie Railroad Company, New York, September 4, 1854. 1 " The directors observe with deep regret the great de pression in the market value of the stock and bonds of the company, and the almost total loss of its credit, so much so that the board have been compelled to resort to very extraordinary measures to fulfil the obligations of the company. " The airectors have not lost confidence themselves in the ultimate success of this great enterprise, and are confident that the plans they will adopt for relieving the company from its present embarrassments, and provid ing for the income bonds due in February next, will meet with the approval of those interested. "We think that, taking the country through, there need be no fear of scarcity, for the drought has been more severe here than in any other part of the country, and must be felt more here than on the rich lands of the West. That the corn crop is short there can be no doubt, but when the effect of this is brought to its proper bearings, whiCh will hardly be before next spring, we shall find that it will simply be a short supply of pork and lard, and whisky, and a price for corn more nearly approaching that of wheat than usual. If the speculators understand this and buy up the pork, lard, and whisky early in the season, they will do a service by seasonably checking the consump tion, and more nearly equalising the price through the winter and spring, and so high a maximum will not be eached as would otherwise happen. except for a brief period, while they are making their purchases. "At an early day their plans will be presented to the public, with a report of the business and condition of the company, which the board confidently believe will be sati , factory. "The operations of the road during the 9 months of the present fiscal year, commencing Oct. 1, 1853, and ending June 30, 1854, down to which time full accounts are made up, have been as follows : Transportation earnings 53,953,298 42 Transportation expenses, including inte rest on the funded and floating debt 3,336776 78 Surplus Which shows a profit of $616,521 64, equal to 8 per cent. per annum upon the capital of the company, over and above all expenses of every kind, and the interest and commission which have been chargeable upon its entire funded and floating debt. "Notwithstanding the sickly season through which we have just passed, and the depressed state of the busi ness of the country, and the consequent effects upon 'the business of the road, the board entertains the opi ‘nion that the returns when rendered for the last quarter of the year will present a net gain equal to the average of the three previous quarters. "This brief statement is now made, in advance of a more full report, in answer to numerous anxious inquiries concerning the business of the road, and in the belief that something of the kind is necessary to prevent timid holders of the stock and the bonds from unnecessarily sacrificing their property.

The demand for gold for exportation has in creased, and some large shipments are in progress, the amounts from Australia and America furnish ing the means. The Turkish Loan and the war expenditure in the East, together with the liqui dation of debts due by merchants on the other side of the Atlantic to their French correspondents, the money being remitted through England, will account for the exports.

Full confirmation has *arrived of a diabolical attempt to upset a railway excursion train from Londonderry t o Enniskillen, ou Friday night. There were 800 persons in the train, including the Earl of Enniskillen, the Hon. and Rev. J. C. Maude, and several clergymen of the Established Church. One of the engine-drivers was killed ; another had his leg broken ; and the Earl of Enniskillen received some contusions. The upset of the engine was caused by large blocks of stones. . The excursionists belonged to a Protestant associa• ion, and had dined at Derry. The coroner i 3 now holding an inquest. Lord Londonderry has offered a reward of five hue. dred pounds for the discovery of the miscreants con. cerned in this horrible outrage. ANOT.EIER ANOMALY OF THE BEER ACT. The framers of the Beer Act were compelled to make this concession to common sense that parties who could only obtain the sustenance necessary to support natur e at public houses should, under certain restrictions, be allowed to receive refreshments in public houses on Sunday. It was assumed that the designation, " tra vellers' would cover all the varieties of individuals composing this class. Unluckily it does not. A few weeks ago a publican in the vicinity of Smithfield was placed at the bar of a police-court, charged with selling refreshments at an early hour on Monday morning. It turned out th at the p . .arties served were i drovers ; and as their l a b our consists in great part n moving backwards and forwards along the roads, they were held to be travellers, and the publican escaped. Last brought h t t h e before magistrate f a d u npublic-houseera charge similar ckwal lwas to that which had been made against his Smithfield The parties, however, th e Bl ac k wall publi can se rved early had early on a Monday mor n i ng were not drovers, ov er brother. rbved ut dockyard labourers ; dockyard labourers can no t squeezed into the category o f travellers , and well e t ingly the accused was fined, and found liable in ace"d ts and dismissed with a cautionary threat. Novrie th e' eye of common sense the case of the d rovers and the dockyard labourers is perfectly identical. Both are compelled to labour at night—both have to labour at a distance from their homes—both require refreshments at hours when most of the world is asleep ; and both can only procure those refreshments at a house of public entertainment. But the drovers come from the country to the town—and the dockyard labourers only pass from one part of an overgrown metropolis to the other. It is, therefore, held that in the sense (or non-sense) of the Act, the former are travellers, said the latter not. And as the egregious framers of the Act have only conceded to common sense and common hu manity in the case of travellers, the dock-yard labourers, compelled to toil under cloud of night, in all weathers, amidst river sludge, are to be denied their necessary refreshments. This the necessary consequence of a law enacted to compel the working classes to certain out ward formai observances of days and seasons, by men who know nothing of the times and modes of labour which the necessities of the poor compel.them to adopt. The Pharisees of our drawing-rooms and saloons ought, before they are allowed to hamper and annoy the honest poor by their enactments, to be compelled to share for a season in the labours of the poor, in order that they might have some conception of the plivations which they entail upon their victims, and the possible consequential' of such privations.—.

In speaking of the first appearance of these artistes, he New York Sun says : " It would be carrying our admiration of the qualities displayed by Madame Grisi to an extreme unwarranted by the evidence of Monday evening's performance, were we to say that she has lost nothing of her former fresh ness and purity of voice. The hand of Time, which deals so unsparingly with all the rest of the world, makes no exception in the case of those favoured children of song, whose rich endowments of physical gifts open the way for them to reputation and fortune. Still the traces of its inroads are only obvious to those who have had the opportunity of comparing the different stages of a career pre-eminently success ful in all its phases. Her figure has assumed a fullness and a heaviness not quite consistent with our notions of classical grace; but her features are still noble, command ing, and expressive. If she is wanting somewhat in the facility and precision of execution for which she was for merly remarkable, her voice still possesses a power and richness that it , does not often fall to our lot to hear, and that leave her still equal in this respect to almost any of her cotemporaries. For those great parts which she has made particularly her own, and which none of her rivals have been able to approach her in, such as Norma, Lucrezia, Borgia, Anna Bolena, and Donna Anna, her vocal and histrionic powers are still in suffi cient vigour and perfection to enable her to give her accustomed effect to them. Although it is not impro bable that we may yet see those parts filled by greater singers, it is scarcely possible to find combined with so mach vocal excellence so much of dramatic force and ex pression. Grisi, in fact, owes as much of her reputation to the latter quality as to the former; end, although in the one those who have beard her at an earlier period of her operatic career will recognise a sensible falling of, in the other her powers seem to have matured rather than di minished. There could have been no more striking proof of this than the intensity of passion which she dis played throughout almost the whole of Monday night's performance. Her defiance of the taunting nobles, her despair at the poisoning of Gennaro, and her anguish at his death, were all expressed with a depth and grandeur of emotion that carried away the soul with it, and left that profound impression upon the spectators which nothing but genius of the first order can create. The reputation that preceded Mario to this country received full confirmation in the verdict of the public on his performance of Monday evening. He is unquestionably the finest tenor that has visited us ; and we have had the ad ♦antage of hearing him in the full maturity of his powers. When we compare him now with the descriptions given of him on his first appearance at the Grand Opera in Paris, in 1839, we cannot but admire the perseverance which has enabled him to conquer the bashfulness and awkwardness which then marred all his efforts. It is impossible to give an idea by description of the delicious qualities of his voice, his perfect style of phrasing, and the exquisite delicacy and refinement of his execution. When we combine with these qualities finely-formed ex pressive features, a slight and graceful figure, and considerable dramatic power—the result of careful study—some notion may be formed of the effect pro duced by his performance on the audience. Where the roles of both these distinguished artistes offered only a succession of new beauties, each equalling the others in the perfection of its rendering, it would be difficult to particularise those passages that pleased the audience most. Suffice it to say, that all the gems of the opera were encored, and at the close of each act Madame Grisi and her husband were called before the curtain, and greeted with the most enthusiastic applause. Of the other debutante we can only speak favourably of the new basso, Sig. Susini. He has a fine voice, some what wanting in flexibility, perhaps, but betraying careful cultivation. His style and action are both excel lent, and altogether he is a most valuable acquisition to the company. The tickets for • the next performance will be reduced to three dollars to all parts of the house. A NATIONAL ANTI 15L FOIL MEXIOO.
