ITER AtiA.JESTY'S TIIEATRE. Tilt GRAND L A 'NATION CONCER'rS. The Executive 'Committee, Directors, avid Managers of "The Grand National Conc..,:ts'" have the iionlir to .aUnounca that the FIRST SERIES will commence on 'IMLAY, the 15th of October. next. In laying before the musical world and the public in general the rincipal arrangments that have been entered into for the carrying P ont this great national requirement. the Committee trust to prove that thee have spared neither expense nor exertion in'endeavonring to form a union of talent never hitherto witnessed in any country. Their constant aim will be to present an intellectual entertainment of the highest order, embracing the greatest works of the greatest masters, illustrated by the most eminent artistes in Europe, and that at the cheapest possible rate consistent with pru dence to themselves and justice towards those whose interests they have mainly in view. Every effort has been used to render the selection of artistes wholly free from all undue, partiality to country er individual ; and first-rate excellence being the only passport to an engagement at these Concerts, it is confidently believed that the most splendid available talent will thus be brought together—a con summation next to impossible when the arrangements are confided to one person;more or less fettered by nat onal preju lice, connexion, or interest. A similar independence will also characterise the choice of works to be produced. No exclusive preference will be given to any particular school or nation. The monumental produc tions of Germany, Italy, France, and England,' ancient and modern, will be presented in succession. On certain evenings during the series, the Concert will he placed under one national head, and the entire performances will consist of works by the most celebrated . composers or one of the above four musical nations. It is also in con templation to devote several evenings to the exclusive performance of Sacred Music, particulars of which will be duly announced. The I usual Evening Programme will be a varied Programme—such as to meet, as far as possible, the wishes and tastes of all, and thus gratify the. lovers of the higher class of music, as well as those who may prefer a lighter school. A highly-important and distinctive feature In this undertaking, and one which the Committee are most anxious should be in every way worthy the support both of English artistes and English audiences, will be the introduction of original instrumental and lyrical works, by native composers, to whom every opportunit y will be afforded of obtaining a satisfactory interpretation of their labours. That this object ma; be carried out as completely as pos sible, entire works in an operatic form will be given, somewhat after the manner of short secular Oratories, combining the services of Soprano, Contralto, Tenor, and Basso-Cantante, with the full Band and Chorus. Mr. George Macfarrea and Mr. Edward Loder have already completed two new one-act Serenatas in the above form, which will be produced early in the season ; Mr. Howard Glover is now engaged en a similar work, the title of which is " Hero and Leander ;" and arrangements are also pending with other English composers. Mr. atacfarrn's work is founded en the popular Arabian tale entitled " The Sleeper Awakened," the poem by Mr. John Oxenford. Mr. Loder has secured the services of Mr. George Swine, who has selected for his libretto, " Telemachus." The Committee are also in communication with the great master Spohr, M. Marsch ner, and Felecien David, relative to the production of several ors - ginal works; and the latter composer will personally attend and conduct the pro auction of portions of his opera, " Christophe Co lomb." M. Haifa will assume the post of Musical Director, Con ductor, and Composer; and an engagement is pending with the re nowned chef-d'orchestre, M. Charles d'Albert, who will have the entire direction and arrangement of the Light or Dance Music. Quadrilles, Polkas, Valdes, &c., written expressly for these Con certs, by the most celebrated native and foreign authors, will be rapidly produced. Amongst other novelties will be —a " Quadrille of all Nations," composed by alusard, in cel.bration of the Great Industrial Exposition of the year 1851 ; " The Grand National Polka," by the author of " The Agnes Polka;" a new Introductory MS. Overture and Hunting Chorus, by M. Rolfe: The composers of " The Firefly," " Fuschia," " Arban," and other popular music, ta ill also contribute various novelties to the dance repertoire. The Committee have the utmost pride and satisfaction in an nouncing that, by the gracious permission of his Majes y the king of Prussia, they have been enabled to secure the entire Chorus of the Berlin Chapel Royal, consisting of fifty male voices, under the direr Lion of Herr Kapelmeister Neidthardt. The extraordinary perfec tion of this chorus is well known by reputation to every artiste and amateur in Europe, but the opportunity of hearing them in any town or country except their own has never hitherto been afforded. During their engagement, several pieces, entirely nen , to this conntry, and composed expressly for the Royal Chapel by Men delsshon, Neidthardt, &.c., will be pertbrmed, in addition to selec tions front the choral works of Bach. Handel, and Marcella toge ther with the celebrated " Battle Chorus," which has •creatkd so extraordinary a sensation in Germany. An extra Chorus for the aerenatas and other English music has been selected with the greatest care from the principal lyrical establishments, and will be nnder the direction of Herr Ganz. Chorus Master of her Majesty's Theatre. The arilangemente of the Operatic Selections, &c., will be confided to Sig. Negri. The meces of admission have been fixed at as low a scale as pm : dence avtil admit; ut as the Committee mean to be guided wholly by circumstances, and no wish or idea of profit will in any way influence them, they beg it may be distinctly understood, should the returns justify any further reduction, that it will be instantly made. The Concerts will commence at eight, and terminate usually about eleven. The Theatre has been entirely re-decorated for these entertainments. In addition to the following list, numerous engagements are pend ing with other V cal and Instrumental Artistes, particulars of which will be announced as soon as possible. VOCAL'S TS. _ . Mcille.

Wornain delivered a lecture to a numert)us au -dience, consisting - mainly of the students of the Government School of Design at Somerset-house, on the characteristics of styles. The styles treated of were those of the early and middle ages, extending over a period of three thousand yearn, and were the Egyptian, the Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Sara cenic, and Gothic. The lecture was of a technical character. The lecturer showed, by the aid of diagrams, the peculiari ties of each style, pointing out that each style, however individual in character, was intimately connected with those which preceded it. A point once gained was not lost, but was improved upon by succeeding ages.

A coroner's inquest has recently been held on the body of a person whose death was said to have been occasioned, or at least accelerated, by the violence of public officers, and a verdict of manslaughter was re• turned against the accused, without entering into the merits of the question which must hereafter be in vestigated before a competent tribunal. It was clearly and distinctly proved that great and un necessary cruelty was exercised by parties whose business it was to afford protection to the public, and there is but too much reason to suppose that such conduct is habitually pursued by , many persons holding similar situations, who are en couraged by the comparative impunity with which they are permitted to violate the law and ill-treat the unfortunates who come within their power ; indeed it would almost appear as if harshness were considered a necessary qualification for their offices. The case was that of a relieving officer, named EDWARD MoR►N, who was charged with having caused the death of a casual pauper, named ANDREW MURPHY. It appeared that the de ceased, who was only twenty-two years of age, and who described himself as a tailor in search of employment, applied on Wednesday, the 18th of September, at the Tib-street vagrant ward of the Manchester Workhouse for a night's shelter. The tramp-master, FRANCIS DALTON, informed him that he would be required to perform three hours severe task work in the morning in return for his supper and breakfast, to which the unfortunate young man replied that "lie had no money, and must get in." He then entered the ward ; shortly afterwards DALTON saw the deceased struggling with MORAN, who had hold of his arm, and was trying to open his hand, saying at the same time, " You bad better give it up." DALTON declared that on hear ing that Meanly had something in his hand, "he took hold of his left wrist with one hand and exerted all his strength to open his fingers with the other, but he could not succeed. He believed that MORAN was bolding him by the other arm at the time. Mr. HoLus, the superintendent of the Tib-street Industrial Establishment, who was present, and a pauper named SMITH, went to assist in searching the deceased Mr. flows took hold of the deceased's thumb, and pulled it back, while DALTON got his hand under neath the fingers, and a quantity of copper money, 10. , /d., fell out of his hand—the money was swept away, and placed on a stove in the centre of the room. Another scuffia then took place between the deceased and MORAN", the former attempt ing to strike the other with a Wellington- boot, which blow he parried, and struck MURPHY in the face." This was the statement of DALTON, one of the parties implicated, who would of course be inclined to exhibit the conduct of the authorities in the most favourable light. It would, however, scarcely account for the marks of violence that were discovered on the body of the deceased, and which could only have occurred on that occasion. The next morning the deceased complained of being very unwell. His thumb was swollen and disco ' loured ; one of his eyes was also discoloured, and he repeatedly vomited a greenish liquor, which smelt strong of spirits. He was then sent to the workhouse, where he continued very ill, and never rallied until his death, at two o'clock on the following Sunday morn ing, having in the interim stated that he " had been murdered by the Governor of the Tib-street work house." From the evidence of the medical witnesses one who attended him during his illness, and the other who conducted the post mortem examination—it appeared that death was occasioned from an injury in the head, which produced a rup ture in the membrane of the brain, and led to an ex travasation of blood, and Mr. HOLROYD thought that it could not have been caused by a fall, or by pre vious intoxication in a man of his age. Under these circumstances the jury returned a verdict that " the deceased had died from a blow of the fist given by Enw.kßD MORAN, " who was committed to take his trial for manslaughter, and ac companied the verdict by expressing an opinion that " HOLED, the superintendent, and the tramp-master, had been guilty of great cruelty," and recommended that " in cases of extreme resist ance on the part of the tramps in future, the aid of a police officer should be immediately called in." There are few persons who will not concur in this recommendation. It is of the utmost importance that the poor-law officials should not be permitted in any case to enter into personal conflicts with the paupers placed under their charge. Such persons are but too fre quently inclined to exceed the limits of their autho rity, and woe betide the unfortunate tramp who ven tures to complain of ill-treatment. He is looked upon as a wretch placed beyond the limits of the law, who may bo kicked and buffeted about with impunity whenever the " relieving officers" or " tramp miater3" choose to indulge in that pleasing recrea tion. The visits of such parties must they conceive be discouraged, and guardians are inclined to regard in a favourable light conduct and demeanour, on the part of their subordinates, which, although not strictly warranted by law, may be calculated to deter appli cants from seeking shelter, and induce them to prefer a night's exposure to the inclemency of the weather, with cold and hunger as their companions, rather than submit to such tyrannical and oppressive conduct. The " right of search" affords a peculiarly fa vourable opportunity for inflicting every possible indignity on the wretched casuals, and it is by no means surprising that many persons should revolt and resist the attempt. If the officers are justified in making it, the aid of the police may easily be called in, and the party punished the next morning by the magistrates. But persons of the class of MORAN, Or DALTON, or HOLLIS, should not be allowed to take the law into their own hands, to dislocate the thumb of an unfortunate young man, and, perhaps, to cause his death, because he does not yield prompt obedience to their high be hests. We trust the Poor-law Commissioners will cause a searching inquiry to be instituted into the entire circumstances of the case, to ascertain whether HOLLIS or DALTON are fit persons to be entrusted with the extensive powers bestowed on the workhouse officials. We can scarcely believe that the Commissioners of Sewers can have read the " Report of the General Board of Health on the Epidemic Cholera of 1948 and 1849 ;" for had they done so they would have scarcely ventured to countenance the plan which has been recently laid before them by their engineer for the draining the Surrey portion of the metropolis. We are told over and over again by the Commis sioners of Health that there is no more fruitful source of disease than offensive sewers and cesspools, and yet the Commissioners of Sewers propose to make an enormous cesspool, extending from Chelsea to Woolwich, the contents of which shall be kept to ferment for twenty-four hours, and then be poured, without having been subjected to any previous de putrifying process, into the Thames, to be carried by the tide down to Gravesend on the one side, and by the return tide up to Chelsea on the other, thus pro pagating pestilence on both sides of the Thames. The Commissioners of Health inform us that the cholera last year was most fatal on the banks of the Thames, and, on looking at the tables attached to. their report, it will be found that the outbreak of Cholera on the banks of the Thames was contempo raneous with the commencement of the system of flushing the sewers, and that an increase of cholera . folloriea each siivdeilaive flushing.; thus proving to (le moratration that the pollution of the stream by sewage, if it did not occasion, at all events greatly aggravated the disease, and yet it is proposed to pour the concentrated essence of all the filth of the metro polis en masse into the Thames, to poison its waters, while the inhabitants are to be exposed to the pesti lential influence of the neighbourhood of an enormous cesspool, kept perpetually charged with gases of the most poisonous quality. We repeat what we have so frequently stated in former articles, no plan for the sewage of the metropolis should be entertained which does not preserve the Thames free from pollution, The Commissioners of Health have given numerous instances of the influence of impure water in predis posing to the disease; we will content ourselves with quoting two only. The first is as follows : "The privies of a number of houses in Silkmill-row, Hackney, were pulled down, and cesspools substituted. In Dr. Gavin's report it is stated— " • The first cesspool was sunk in the middle of July within one yard of the only well which supplies with water 12 houses containing 85 inhabitants. Three other cesspools were made at the distance of 3,5, and 12 yards from this well. About a fortnight or three weeks after the first cesspool had been made, the inhabitants ob served the water become tainted and offensive; it gra dually became worse until, when I SAW it, that fresh drawn in the morning was as thick as thin soup, with feculent matter. The landlord's agent employed himself an hour every morning in pumping off the thickened water in order to fit it for consumption and use. Atter his morning's work he declared the water to be quite good enough for the inhabitants. Those who do not choose to drink and cook with this most foul water are compelled to catch the surface water which flows along the kennel from the road and neighbouring field. This water, which at other times would be considered foul, appears pure when compared with that used by the un fortunate inhabitants of this place.' " Of these 85 inhabitants, 22 did not use the water of the well: these remained free from disease. Of the re maining 63, 46 were attacked with severe diarrheas, one of them approaching cholera." The next is a still more remarkable instance ; it is given on the authority of Dr. EVANS, of Bedford, who says— " A few years ago he was staying at Versailles with his lady, when they both became affected with ague, and, on inquiry, the following facts were disclosed:—The town of Versailles is supplied with water for domestic purposes from the Seine at Marli. At the time in ques tion a large tank, supplying one particular qaarter, was damaged, and the mayor, without consulting the medical authorities, provided a supply of water consisting of the surface-drainage of the surrounding country, which is of a marshy character. The regular inhabitants would not ' use this polluted water; but Dr. and Mrs. Evans, who were at an hotel, drank of it unwittingly, and it was also used by a regiment of cavalry. The result was, that those who drank the water suffered from intermittent fever of so severe a tyre that seven or eight of the soldiers. fine young men, died on one day, September 1, 1845. On a careful investigation it was ascertained that those only of the troops who had drunk the marsh water were attacked, all the others, though breathing the same atmosphere, having escaped, as did also the town.people." The Commissioners themselves furnish further proof of the deleterious effects of using polluted water, although they do not draw from the fact which they record the inferences which they might draw. They state that cholera was more prevalent on the south bank of the Thames than on the north bank, but seem at a loss to account for the circumstance. To us the reason is evident. The inhabitants of the south bank depend upon the Vauxhall and Lambeth companies for their supply of water, and those corn. panics depend exclusively on the Thames as the source of such supply, and it is to the exclusive use of polluted Thames water that the greater prevalence , of cholera on the south bank of the Thames is to be attributed. The Commissioners of Sewers themselves ! have admitted that the great majority of the in habitants of the metropolis must necessarily derive their supply of water from the Thames, and there fore we impress upon the authorities the necessity of at once rejecting every plan of sewage that does not keep the waters of the Thames throughout their whole coarse free from pollution. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Almost every other political subject of interest is forgotten in the excitement caused by the studied insult lately offered to the PRESIDENT of the Republic by General CHANGARNIER. The abrupt departure of that officer from the plain of Satory in the very midst of the review seems at length to promise an open rupture between himself and Louts NAPOLEON. Much indignation is expressed by certain parties at the flagrant but petty bribery practised by the latter towards the army indiscriminately. After each of the reviews there are not only supplied to the privates and officers, with and without commissions, cold col lations, but each man has his bottle—nin ordinaire for the rank and file, for the officers champagne, and, in addition to this, cigars of excellent quality are liberally distributed, and on the completion of the banquet, or rather, we should call it, the unceremo nious jollification, the Panics in person decorates a select few with ribbons and crosses. The 4th Regi ment, which called out " Vive le President !" was sent to Lille ; and the 62d, which shouted " Vive l'Empereur !" retained in the capital. Still, while it is but wise to watch these things vigilantly, it must be remembered that Lents NAPOLEON has, ever since his election on the 10th of December, acted with uniform loyalty to the Republic, and again and again proclaimed his allegiance to the republican institutions. Masses still continue to be said throughout the country for the repose of the soul of the late ex- King LOUIS PHILIPPE. Yesterday M. POITEVIN hovered over the Boule vards, riding on an ostrich, which swung from a balloon. M. TRIERS had arrived in Paris from Germany. M. PER/IGN r bad also returned to Paris from London. M. METERBEER has recently arrived in the French metropoli3. Monsignor FRANZONI has arrived in France. Last night news was received that he had reached Brian (;on, in the department of the Hautes Alpes. M. COCEIELET, Consul-General of France in Lon don, has been appointed one of the Commissioners for the arrangement of objects in the French compart ment of the London Exhibition. A paragraph in the Constitutionnel contradicts the statement, of the death of tvl. FREDERICK BASTIAT, mentioning that his journey to Pisa has been taken at the advice of his physicians. A decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic appears in the Moniteur, conferring the decoration of the Legion of Honour on M. ANIADEE MARE, director of the Paris and Orleans and Vierzon Railways. According to Galignrzni, a courier had actually left the capital for Turin with dispatches strongly repre hending the conduct of the Sardinian Government. The following note, communicated by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, is published by the Patric and the MOniteur dzt Soir " Seieral journals of this morning contained, relative to the incident at Pernambuco, assertions which are wantinz in exactitude. All the measures of satisfaction which the French Government was entitled to and bound to apply for have bell) demanded from the Brazilian Government, and the French Government has every reason to believe that they will be accorded. Besides, no news has yet arrived from Rio Janeiro later than that received from Pernambuco." The privilege of the Theatre Italien was yesterday transferred to the hands of Mr. LUMLEY, the director of her Majesty's Theatre in London, on the special recommendation of the Commission des Theatres, to whom the situation of the Italian Opera had been re ferred by Government with a view to its re-establish ment in the state of eminence and prosperity this elegant theatre enjoyed previous to the revolution. the,Ordre makes a violent attack on Prince Louis NAPOLEON; whereas the Pays speaks in the follow ing terms of the PRESIDENT of the Republic : "In 1851 he will be indispensable. Indispensable, be cause without him France would fall back into anarchy, and would lose the fruit of two years' efforts ; because independently of him no government ispossible; because the Socialists, the moderate Red Republicans, the Legiti matists, are not only incapable of preserving any go vernment, but even of arriving at it for a single moment; indispeasable, because he alone can be moderate without weakness; and because his moderation, the effect of strength, becomes in its turn a fresh cause of strength; indispensable, because independently of him there are only parties, and parties are only a negation; but a country does not live on negation, and France desires to live. All that is marked beforehand with the stamp of logic; the principle of good sense will have it so, and we have said that we know no other. As fatally as the spirit of party has caused those whom it blinds to pass by the triple stages of useless, dangerous, and impos sible, so incontestably Louis Napoleon, after having been useful in 1841, and necessary in 1850, will become indispensable in 1851. We do not think this truth a novelty. There are few men in France who have it not at the bottom of their thoughts. Many have not, per haps, yet expressed it to themselves; no one will dis avow it, and all will admit with us that, in the calm and perfectly disinterested terms in which we expose it, it is in reality what every ono desires." The decline in the price of Government Securities at the Bourse to-day had nearly assumed the appear ance of a panic, i n consequence of the quant i ty o f Five per Cents. offered for sale for cash.

" Announcement by the Commander-in-Chief. " After living for three years in the retirement of pri ♦ate life, and quietly observing from that position since March, 1848, so many proceedings painful to the feelings of a true Hessian, I am quite unexpectedly called by his Highness the Elector to the position of Commander-in- Chief in our fatherland during the continuance of the state of siege, and am endowed with extensive power to break the opposition to the royal ordinances of the So vereign which have been rendered necessary by the undutiful conduct of the Assembly in denying those mewls without which the administration of his Government cannot be carried on, as well as by the usurpation and presumption of the Stand ing Committee—and to restore the reign of law and order in the State. That I, an old man of seventy one years, willingly obey the call of my Sovereign to exchange the chosen quiet of my retired life for the toil and anxiety of an office which, alike by the deluded and the deluders, is despised, may prove to every man not only that I am fully convinced of the legality and con stitutional character of the measures of the Government, but that I will respond to the confidence placed in me without fear of man, and with energy and a?al. Let those who are inclined• to offer an active or passive op position to the lawful authority learn that, although I am hoary with ago, I am firmly confident in the aid of Almighty God fshall exercise the otice entrusted to me with strict severity, and prove to all that I still know how to wield the sword of authority with decision and force. " Lieut.-Gen. VON HAYNAU. Casstl, Oct, 1, 1850." A protocol of a meeting at which M. llassmirrLuo delivered written declarations of the Government upon questions of present interest, has just been pub lished. The following passages, selected from the Ministerial replies, will show the variations of the Ministry since last March, when they were formally recorded.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENIN4i. MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF DOWN.—The Belfast psper which we received this evening an nounces that shortly after dusk on Wednesday evening a weaver, named ITCormick, who resided at Carmoss-on-the-hills, Borough-road, within a short distance of Ballynahinch, and about two miles beyond the Carrayduff meeting-house, while sitting at his loom, was shot at by a miscreant who had intruded th e muzz l e o f hi s gun throu ghan aperture made i n th e w i n d ow -f rame ; th e bullet entered the heart of the poor victim, and after passing through his body was lodged in the frame work of the loom. The only cause that can be assigned for the murder is, that . M'Cormick had taken a small farm, and was care-taker fur another from which the previous tenants had been evicted. He had received several threatening letters during the last two months calling upon him to give up possession, or take the consequences. DEATH OP COLONEL STEWART or KILLTMOON.— Letters from the north announce the death of Colonel Stewart, proprietor of the splendid seat and magnifi cent demesne of Kil'moon, county Tyrone, for which proposals of purchase were lately made by Lord Gough. Colonel Stewart was a descendant of the junior branch of the Stuarts Ochiltree, who were related to the royal line, and w h o received large gra nts from James I. after hi s access i on t o the British throne.

THE Ho? DUTY. — The hop-growers of Worces tershire e n , e t w he A t sleyrolunmautt.: Herefordshire, tershire and comprising what is called the Worcester district, have had a meeting at Worcester to so licit further indulgence from the Government for the pay ment of the remaining moiety of the 1848 duty, which at present stands f ixe d for the 15th instant. The chair was taken by Mr G. Freeman, of Lugwardine, Herefordshire, a magistrate and large hop-grower, and, after several speeches, a memorial to the Chancellor of the Exchequer was agreed to. The memorial set forth that at the present period the agriculturists were called oil for the payment of rents ; that the price of all agricultura l produce was exceedingly l ow , and, therefore, if the pa yment of the moiety of the duty were insisted upon, it would oblige the planters to throw a large quantity of hops upon the T h e makeemorialh t t, and tus her p e rod foreuce a ruin ous depreciati on i n price • prayed for a postp onement o f the duty until after Christmas. Mr. `every, a large Herefordshire planter, represented that if the payment of the duty were e orced at once, it would reduce the price o f h ops 1 0 s. per•cw nt. f immediately. CARES IE THE CoIINTT COURTS.—Cases are now in the course of trial to ea under the County Court Exten sion Act, passed in the late session. There is a provision in this Act which require to be generally known, in order to save t rou bl e to laintiffs an d defendants. Hitherto judg ment could not b e taken by default, but now it is enacted by the eighth section, that any person against whom a plaint is entered, whether he be enmtnoned or not, in the presence of the clerk or assistant clerk of the court, or one of their clerks, or of an attorney, may sign a statement, confessing and ad mitting the amount of a debt or part thereof. Notice of such admission is to be sent to the plaintiff, and on the next court judgment to be given, in the same manner and subject to the came conditions as if the cause had been tried. This provi sion will lead to arrangements both as to the period and amount of instalments to be made, and save a good deal of time to all parties and prevent unnecessary exposure. The Lord Mayor elect (Alderman Musgrove) has appointed the Rev. Dr. Vivian, rector of St. Peter-le-Poer, Broad-street, one of the minor canons of St. Paul's Cathe dral, tol he his chaplain during the year of the ensuing mayoralty.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of G)tton at Liverpool yesterday were e4ti ma'ed at 10,00') bales, of which 3,000 Amorican were taken on speculation. The market was steady, and clos^d without change.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at advancing prices. The weekly statement of tho Bank of England is of a character to bear out the assertion that fuller employ ment has lately Le en obtainable fur money, for the ad vances upon " other" securif es stand for a much higher sum. It seems by no means improbable that parties may be obtaining loans upon stock, Ecc., and placing some of the proceeds in railway shares and produce, but, however this may be, the fact stands patent that the Bank has been called upon for a larger amount of accommodation, and this must be deemed satisfactory. The state of the account of the public treasury is like wise cheering, and there may be favourable anticipa tions of the revenue formed from the circumstance that the deposits are so large. The circulation both of notes and specie has increased, and, compared with the previous week, the following changes are apparent is other respects : Notes Issued Theo re ass ...

There were not quite such good rates obtainable yes terday afternoon for bills of exchange on the principal Continental cities, the nearest quotations per pound sterling for paper dated 90 days being as follows—Paris, 25 474 to 52i; Frankfort, 120 to 4; Trieste, 11 57 to 59; Antwerp, 25 47,E to 50; Hamburgh, 13 91 to 10; and Amsterdam, 12 01 to 12 1. The railway traffic returns for the week will in most cases bear a favourable comparison with those for the corresponding period of last year, but there are some cases more prominent than others. The Great Western takings are remarkably good, and few lines, apparently, can more advantageously and safely carry on the excur sion system. The South Devon traffic is particularly gratifying. The Great Northern line is doing well, con sidering the short period that it has been opened, and, whether from this opposition or some other cause, the Eastern Counties returns are deficient. The Caledonian have taken less, and the Aberdeen decidedly more. The French lines are getting a fair share of the general increase. If the reports from Laipsic, concerning the great fair now in progress there, be correct, they suggest matter for reflection, and it would be interesting to i❑quire into the cause of the alleged preference to German textile fabrics. We are positively assured by a party writing on the spot, that a highly satisfactory business has bean doing in all articles, with the single exception perhaps of English mannfactures, which the same authority fur ther asserts, have been neglected for Zollverein fabrics. One is tempted to ask whether the price operates as a bar, and if the high duties imposed abroad occasion an onerous enhancement of that price, for certainly England, with its vast facilities for obtaining raw staples direct from the places of growth, should on anything like equal terms beat every competitor. The Royal Mail steamer from the West Indies brings favourable accounts of the weather in most of the islands, but in Jamaica very heavy rains had fallen. In Demerara the weather was hot and dry, but good for the planters ; and the prospects of the next crops in Trinidad are encouraging. The minor colonies had been benefited by fine rains. The steamer Washington furnishes later intelligence from the United States, but it seems to be of no promi nent interest. There was more gold advised as being on the way from California. The exports of the precious metals from London this week comprise 2,065 ounces of gold, and 183,000 ounces of silver. The Funds are drooping, and the amounts from Paris advise a very marked depression in the rentes, and a continued uneasy feeling. The gold in the Bank of France had been diminished 7,000,000 francs during the week to which the return is completed, and this argues some want of confidence. Consols have been 963 for transfer, and 961 for November. Exchequer bills bars realised 68s. to 67e. premium.
