COUNTY COURTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I have been much struck with the ability of your article in your Evening Paper of the 4th instant, relative to Mr. A. Clarke's case in the Court at West minster. Give me a corner in your excellent jour nal for the following case of hardship : On Monday last I went over to Northwich, to answer in the recently established County Court there a claim of 1/. Bs. made upon me, and alleged to have been incurred in 1842. Since that period I have been bankrupt, of which niotice, agreeably to the summons, was immediately given to the clerk of the Court, and also to the plain tiff, and begging of the latter that he would not put the to the expense of a twenty miles' journey. I got no reply. I felt compelled to incur the expense and loss of tune to defend myself by my certificate against this attempt to mulct me of a snm he knew I did not owe, because, had he been suffered to succeed, all the cre ditors under our bankruptcy might have copied his example. The case was heard, and after a search into books and precedents decided in my favour. I now applied to the judge (Mr. Harding) for my expenses, and satisfaction for my trouble and loss of time, under section 79 of the recent Act. " If the plaintiff shall not make proof of his demand to the satisfaction of the court, it shall be lawful for the judge to award to the defendant by way of costs and satisfaction for his trouble and attendance such sum," &c. &c. Instead of acting on this power, he turned to me and said, " You have no locus standi there, and it is indulgence enough that I have allowed you to conduct your own defence ; I shall not allow you anything." Such treatment, Sir, hardly needs comment. lam poor, and could not afford the cost of the journey and the loss of time which it entailed upon me. What is the use, Sir, of such a clause as the above if poor Persons like myself are to be treated in this way ? Is misfortune to be treated as a crime ? In what ima ginable instance can we hope for a favourable appli- Cation of the clause if in mine it be denied ? I enclose my name and address. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Oct. 8. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. M. Jullien, the new lessee of Old Drury, com menced his campaign last night with Promenade Concerts. The house was crowded to excess in every part. The pit, as on former occasions, was covered over, and the orchestra built on the stage. The band is selected from the best orchestral performers of the Philharmonic and Ancient Concerts, her Majesty's Theatre, and the Royal Italian Opera. Miss Dolby is engaged for a limited number of nights, and sang a new S w i ss ballad very effectively. Sainton, whose violin performances have of late been the " gems " of the Philharmonic concerts, played in a most masterly style a solo on airs from Donizetti's opera of Luerezia Borgia, and was received with rapturous applause ; hi s b ow i ng i s very superior. In addition, we h a d J u lli en ' s usual admirable selection of overtures, quadrilles, and waltzes, which, of course, Were rapturously applauded. Between the first and second part of the concert the National Anthem was performed. Th e coup aril presented by the house at this moment, w h en all the audience rose, was magnificent ; each box was a framed picture. The new decorations are simple, although exceedingly effective. Th e ground of the whole is a faint blossom colour, approaching a white, and the ornaments, which are all appliqué, are gilt. The fronts of all the boxes are laced with a trellis of large mesh, formed of an enriched moulding, gilt, and upon this festoons of detached fl owers, very nicely modelled, and also gilt, are suspended. On the dress boxes the festoons are looped through wreaths, on the next tier tied with a gilt riband, and on the front of the third tier the festoon consists of riband only. The fluted Co rinthian columns which form the proscenium, two on each side, have their capitals and bases gilt, and . the flutes entwi ne d b y a continuous wreath of flowers, gilt, as have also the small columns which support the boxes throughout the house. The whole of the ornaments, fruit, and flower work, are of papier macho, the ornamented moulding which forms the trellis being of a new patent machine-made kind. The ceiling is painted to represent the sky seen from a roofless building, and much ingenuity is exhibited in the endeavour. A continuation of the gilt trellis work, rising from the walls, forms an inclosure around the lower part of circle; and the central glass chandelier, a new one, is made to present, by masses of drops, six flags, with the lines of the union-jack marked on each of them by light. It is kept close up to the ceiling, and is upheld by six flying cupids, The draperies are of bright scarlet cloth with yellow edging, which pro duces a brilliant effect. The boxes are lined with yellow -patterned paper on a crimson ground. The "family boxes" have been cleared away, so as to form an enclosed area for standing spectators. The arrangement of the whole has been under the su perintendence of Mr. Frederick Gye, and reflects the highest credit on his taste. Each of the favourite artistes was received with applause. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston are sur rounded by a disting u i s h e d circle at Broadlands, their seat in Hants. The party include his Excellency the Duke de Broglie, his Excellency th e A ustriam I has sexit,•y and the Countess Dietrichstein, his Excell enc y Bar on Brunnow, Count and Countess d'Haussonville, Count Honri de Bearn, Lord and Lady Holland, Hon. Captain Robert Gore and Miss Sulliva n . Th e visitors in th e ear ly Tart of . the week have comprised Sir Augustus and La d i y Albina Forster and Mr. V. Forster, Sir Augustus Chiford and Miss Clifford, Hog. Mrs. Lamb, Mr. Norman Macdonald, &c. With a trifling exception or two, hop-picking in this neighbourhood has been brought to a close. The weather of the past weak having been fine has permitted the operation to be curried on uninterruptedly ; and, though the result falls short of last year, the estimate of duty is rising, it being now set at from 175,0001. to 1 80,0001. General accounts state the picking to be nearly concluded, the deficiency in the crop compared with last year being from one to two cwt. an acre, and in some instances even more. Though there was a lame supply of new hops in Canterbury market on Sa turds:jv-. few were sold.—Kentish Observer. AMERICAN ADMIRERS OF SIIIKSPERE.—The num ber of Amt' can names, with the addresses at full length, Scrawled over tie walls is Legion. This mode of personal glorification is e ' .tried by the Americans to the height of a national passion. Not content with writing up their names and the placet. A of their abode, and sometimes even their ages, with notes l of admiration, and a labyrinth of flourishes, they emplc , y such huge letters as fairly to blot, out the more me, 'lest inscriptions of their pre decessors. The name anti\ address of one Samuel Mason, front Sew York, may thu * be seen sprawling along the beam which traverses the ceiling, in great thick cha rtcters, enclosed in bla c k lines, as if th e w h o l e space 1 3_e longed t o hi m, a f ter the manner of a family vau lt, d ug out of half a cen t ury o f ) bli terate d graves.

Mr. HENRY RAWSON said that he had called the meeting together, and he wished that to be clearly ' understood. He and a few other shareholders had conferred together, and at their request he had con . sidered it his duty to call the other shareholders to gether. Their object was to form a nucleus whose object should be to prevent any further extension of , the works at present. Upon the original shares 21. 2s. had been paid up, and the price of those shares at the present time was not more than ss. Now, he understood that 30s. per share was in the hands of ' the directors, and therefore he thought it was not wisdom to expend more money until the proprietors were consulted. It was a question whether it would not be wise to wind up the concern altogether, and return the 30s. per share to the holders. The fact was, that the shares were at present so low that they could hardly be given away. Under these circumstances he would advise that the question was not fully en tered into at that meeting, but that a deputation should be appointed to confer with the directors as to the best course to be adopted. Mr. MPARLANR wished to know if the gentlemen calling that meeting had had any communication with the directors on the subject of the meeting? Mr. RAWSON said they had not seen the directors on the subject, because they thought it better to have the opinion of the shareholders in the first in stance. Mr. M'FARLANE said that at their last general meeting Mr. France, their chairman, had told them that no further calls would be made until the next meeting, and he wished, therefore, to know whether anything had occurred to alter that determination. Mr. HORATIO SMITH said that whatever might have been the promises made at the last meeting, they were indebted to Mr. Rawson for calling them together. Mr. THOMAS PEET said he thought the pledge given by the chairman, on behalf of the directors, that no further calls would be made without the con sent of the shareholders, ought to be sufficient. They were well known to be honourable men, and therefore to be relied upon. He wished to know what really was the character of the movement. He had been informed that certain parties had been buying up the shares at ss. a share, with the view of having the company dissolved, and the affairs wound up, by which they would pocket the 305. per share which was in the hands of the directors. A SHAREHOLDER said that at their last general meeting the chairman had assured them that their expenditure should not be allowed to exceed 1001. a month, and therefore he thought the works should be proceeded with as the directors thought best. Sir RALPH PENDLEDURY said the object of the meeting was to try if they could not prevail upon the directors either to postpone the works or abandon the scheme altogether ; and he must say that he would prefer the latter course. The CHAIRMAN explained, and said the object of the meeting was to make certain representations to the directors, and not to discuss the merits of the line. Mr. RAWSON said that he did not think Mr. Peet was justified in casting out such insinuations, and at tributing such motives. He was actuated by no other motive than that of benefiting the shareholders, and of preventing speculations in such stocks; and the question really was w hether a committee should be appointed to wait on the directors. If the directors agreed with the opinions which he and many of the shareholders held, then there would not be any necessity for further trouble ; but he pledged himself ' to adopt every means in his power to carry out his own views in the event of the directors differing from the shareholders. He would leave no means untried to resist the progress of the works in the present state of commercial embarrassment, and concluded by moving a committee to wait on the directors, to confer with them, and to report to another meeting to be held hereafter. Mr. M'FARLANE seconded the motion. A somewhat angry and personal discussion ensued, in which Mr. Hobson, Mr. Peet, Mr. Rawson, Mr. Smith, and other shareholders, took part, after which the motion was carried. The committee so appointed consisted of Sir Ralph Pendlebury, Mr. Henry Rawson, Mr. John War lane, Mr. Horati o S m i th, and Mr. Thomas Tomason, of Bolton. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. THE RAILWAY COMPANIES AND THE - PRESENT DISTRESS. One direct cause of the present distress, especially at Manchester and Liverpool, can be traced to a mode of action of the railway companies which, although it has generally escaped remark, is, perhaps, as far as it goes, more fraught with danger than all the rest of their proceedings put together. The four millions a month which these parties claim is not enough for their objects. The merchant and manufacturer when these are paid do not know the worst. Four millions a month may be taken from the market, but it can not be distributed all at once. While the large pro portion is yet passing into the hands of the labourer, from him to the shopkeeper, from the shopkeeper to the importer, and from the importer to the produce grower of South America, Russia, or the United States, there is still a considerable amount that finds its way back, temporarily, at all events, into the hands of the banks whence it was drawn, and that might thus be supposed to be applicable to the wants of those who are seeking their usual ac commodation in the money-market. As the amount which filters back in this way is lessened month by month so long as the pressure goes on, of course the price must increase; but still, the merchant would be disposed to say, " there, at all events, is a certain quantity to be divided amongst us, and which those will obtain who choose to bid the highest. The weak must go to the wall, but the strong may yet stand." In this, however, lies a grievous error. Th e ra il way di rectors compete with hi m still. He cannot escape from them, or move a step but they will struggle with him and overcome him. The portion of the calls which find their way back to the money-market must again be delivered to these gentlemen. 4,000,0001. a month, or such proportion of it as may be paid to them, being altogether inadequate to their wants (an amount which they put up with in consideration of "the existing pressure"), they deem it advisable to an ticipate future payments by carrying on works beyond what these amounts will meet, and by paying their contractors in promissory notes or bills. These bills are thrown upon the discount market, and when private firms seek accommo dation, they find there are other claimants before them. It is true that, owing to the largeness of the draughts as well as to the way in which they have been discountenanced by the Bank of England, and by the most respectable of the joint-stock and pri vate banks, they are negotiable only at a higher rate of discount than would be demanded upon legitimate acceptances, but the knowledge that they carry the responsibility of a public body with several millions of capital operates to keep this dif ference at a very moderate point, and even if it were much greater than it is, it would still be no protection to the merchant. Let the rate demanded be what it may, the machinist, the contractor, or the engineer who may have taken the bills of the com pany can outbid him step by step, and without the slightest anxiety as to the ultimate point to which it may be necessary to go, since it is more than sus pected that while making their payments in bills the companies submit to a stipulation (which, indeed, under certain circumstances would be an obvious one) that any loss shall be made up to their creditor which he may sustain in getting them discounted. Thus, therefore, while the Legislature imagined they had effectually provided against money being bor rowed by the companies at a higher rate than 5 per cent., these bodies find themselves in a condition to obtain it by offering at all times any rate that may be necessary. This system is not of recent date, but it has latterly increased in proportion as the strin gency c y p a y o m f e t n h e t s t i f m r o e m s h s a h s a r r e e h n o d l e d r e e r d s it a n d d i ffi t c h u a l t t t o h e x a s been carried on to an extent sufficient to explain much of that pressure on the provincial discount markets which has caused houses to suspend with good bills in their cases seems to have been pretty clearly ascertained, while it evidently affords a key to worse that remains behind. When the railway directors found the first warning of the consequences of their career in the protests of their shareholders against the inconveniences of calls, the public hoped that a check had been administered. The issue of debentures permitted by the Legislature, however, served as a resource, and still the madness went on, and when these could no longer answer, a return to calls with threats of forfeiture, and in the face of general distress, again showed the public that their enemies were scarcely scotched. The final impossi bility of payment under any threats or force what ever, seemed at last, however, to hold out that the end might be approaching, even although it could only come amidst the general ruin of all the weaker members of the community ; but now even this turns out to be an error, and the public are destined to find that there is yet no prospect of a stop—that if calls carnot be met, money can, at all events, be raised upon them in anticipation—and that, in fact, so long as it is in the power of a single firm in Eng land to raise a single pound, it will still be in the power of the railway companies to snatch it from their hands. Let this condition of things be fairly considered, not merely to awaken alarm at the position in which we now stand, but also that it may convey its moral. Since the year 1837 we have been throwing stones at America, but it may be questioned if, amidst all the recklessness of the land-speculators of that country and period a more desperate, evasive, or culpable game was played than that which is now being carried on by the railway financiers of Great Britain ; and when we hear a clamour for a repeal of our currency laws at the cost of national credit, to sustain for a little while longer the delusion now threatened with collapse, let us not blink the plain fact, that even as regards repudiation itself there must be many thousands amongst us to whom there would be something far more shocking in its name than in its reality.—Times.

A FLATTERING EXCEPTION.—An eccentric farmer, who was recently at a tea-table, where there were seve ral fine girls sipping their twankay, was asked what he thought of a certain lady who was then absent. " Oh," replied he, " she is the plainest woman I ever saw in my lite, the present company excepted !" EXTRAORDINARY FRAUDS.—Great excitement has prevailed in Sunderland since Monday last, in conse quence of the discovery that Mr. Charles Isaac Humble, recently a member of the firm of Milbourn and Humble, sharebrokers, had decamped, having committed several forgeries of a most daring character. It is of course, impossible at present to learn with precise accuracy all the details : but the statement we now give we have no doubt will be found pretty correct. His forgeries have been committed chiefly upon his relatives and family connexions Humble, a maiden lady (his aunt) the Re♦ Philip Kearney, Catholic priest, and Mr. Mat thew Kearney, wine and spirit merchant. Bills purport ing to be accepted by one or other of these parties—the signatures to the acceptances being of courso forged— have been paid[away by Humble to the extent of not less than 10,0001. Of this forged paper, Mr. Barnes, of Jar row, received about 4,000/. in payment for ships sold by him to Humble ; and three bills of 1,000/, each, all for genes, have been discounted by parties in Sunderland. The Sunderland Joint-stock Bank, it is understood, holds one of these, Mr. Barnabas Sharp another, and the thirdlis held jointly between Mr. W. White and Mr. R. T. Wilkinson, solicitors. Mr. Thomas Burn, solicitor, is also a loser to a considerable extent, by discounting some of the forged paper. There is too much reason to fear that Humble, who is quite a young man, had got some unfortunate connexions with swindlers at a distance, who were victimising him and goading him to his ruin. A warrant was on Tuesday granted for Humble's appre•. hension, but there is not much probability of his being caught, as he has been gone about a week. It is srip posed he has sailed for Monte Video.—Durham Chro nicle. Last week. 501.; for two yrs old — colis, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 51b. T.Y.C.

MARSHALL, Chief Cashier. 847. Dated the 7th day of October, MARKET INTELLIGENCE. § 4 ' 4 • at,, 23c0 e.)g (From the London New Price Current of Oct. 8.) SUGAR.—To-day importers of Raw Sugar experienced some difficulty in preventing prices from further de clining, although the quantity on offer was not quite so large, and there being several inquiries from both the home trade and exporters : on the part of merchants there was, however, less inclination genera lly t o press sales. The demand for West India Muscovado was good for all purposes, and the sales amounted to 550 hhds and tierces, but the reduced rates noticed in our former report were taken. The total sales for the week art: 2,280 hhds and trcs. The appearance of the Sugar market was, on the whole, rather better to-day than in the early part of the week. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods met with little at tention from the home trade, and prices continue to give way, brown grocery Lumps selling at 535, and standard Lumps at 53s 6d to 545. In the value of Bonded Crushed Sugar there is no variation; but few buyers are to be met with. TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY.—The reaso7us of the delay in placing the whole of the North and South passenger traffic upon this line, instead of taking it round by Birmingham, as at present, is the , non-comple tion of the Post-office arrangements. Ir reply to ap plications from the company, the Post-of dice authorities have informed Captain Huish that it 1 , 4' Al not be practi cable to place the mails on the Trent Valley Railway by the Ist of November ; and that altb ough the Post office may be ready by the middle of N ovember, still no promise that arrangements will be cerimpleted even by that time can be given. It will be s ten, therefore, that the public have no ground for the ,rging the company with delay, as they are desirous of giving them the full benefit of the saving of time and dist 3r ice effected by the Trent Valley line at as early a period as possible.— Leeds Mercury. The Gazette des Tribunaux pub fishes a letter, ad dressed to it by M. Vidocq . in wh i.ch he states that,. although Madame Vidocq did tak ei twenty drops of laudanum in a glass of water to li 1 1 11 the severe pains from which she had long been sufi ering, yet the phy sicians who were in attendance up, ,m her had unani mously declared that the quantity I 'bus taken, though larger than they had prescribed, co' aid not have has tened her death, and that the state in which she was rendered it impossible for her to have survived any longer. The commissary of polio 1, called in to verify her death, made a report to the Pr ocureur du Roi, to the effect that she had not committt 41 suicide, counter.. signed by five physicians, and the / ?rocureur thereupon immediately granted his warrant fo ; her interment, MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon the quantity submitted to public competition amounted to 7,581 bags of Mau ritius; nearly the whole found buyers, and former rates were supported for brown and inferior yellow and grey, but middling to fine yellow went at Gd per cwt lower; low yellow sold at 34s 6d to 35s 6d, middling 36s to 36s 6d, good 37a to 38s 6d, fine 39s Gd to 425, fine brown 345, good 335, washed 33s to 38s, and syrupy 28s to 39s 6d per cwt. _ _ EAST hiniA.—There has been little desire evinced to operate in inferior kinds of Madras although there are sellers at very low rates. Of 4,654 bags submitted to public competition a part only sold, and at a reductios on former rates of Is to 2s. The better qualities, hon' , : ever 2 met with att en ti on, an d 4,654 b ags o f s t ron g white s were all sold at publi c sa l e , an d f etc h e d nea rly former rates.

COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was operated in with caution by private treaty, and 34s to 34s 6d ac cepted for good ordinary. Of Plantation 670 bags at auction were sold at a fall on former rates of Is to 2, per cwt.; low m iddli ng went at 48s to 49s 6d, fine fine ordinary 46s to 46s 6d, fine ordinary 44s to 455, pea berry 575 to 60s, damaged 31s to 465, triage 29s to 38s. For public sale 3,000 bags 160 casks, all Plantation, are announced. SPICES.—To-day at public sale 5 pkgs Penang Nut megs sold at 2s 10d to 2s Ild per lb for middling brown, and at 6d to 10d for wormy. 2 casks Mace, middling 2s 9d, which are full rates. Pepper is still little wanted, and 2,000 robins Malabar were nearly all taken in at 2id for half heavy. RICE.—To-day East India Rice met with little atten tion, and on the part of merchants there was a desire to • ' •&.• :.. ;, ~~ . t .~ ► realise. At public sale 3,567 bags 1,715 pockets lengal ware only in part sold at a fall on former rates of• Is to Is 6d. Privately there are sellers of sound :Cargo Bengal at 9s for net cash. Fnurr.—Since this day week a greater desire has been evinced on the part of importers of new Valencia Raisins to sell, but having reduced the price to 44s per cwt for first quality occasioned the demand to be good ; an impression, however, exists that quotations will further recede, as arrivals will be heavy this season, and the bulk is likely to be of fine quality. New Turkey pulled Figs are not much required. The importation is likely to be good this year; Mus catel Raisins are offered upon lower terms, but the busi ness concluded has been to a limited extent only at from 50s to 70s; the supply will be good this season. Sul tanas move off slowly at 68s to 70s. The market is firm for Currants, although there will be a plentiful supply; a good demand exists at 38s to 40s for old Zante and Cephalonia, and at 39s to 40s for Patras. CoCKINEAL.—This afternoon there was no improve. went in the demand for Cochineal. At public sale 42 bags Honduras silvers were taken in at 4s 8d to 5s ; 12 bags Black sold at 6s to 6s 9d, and 14 bags Lima at 4s 6d to 5s 9d for low to fine silvery black, which are full rates. SPinrrs.—ln the value of Janiaica Rum there is little variation to make known, but on the part of exporters or the home trade little desire has been evinced to operate, and the tendency of prices is downwards. Demerara met with littl e a tt ent i on, notwithstanding the late considerable fall in the value, and only 50 puns have been sold this week. In Leeward Island the business done has been limited, except there are sellers upon further reduced terms, Is lid to 2s having been accepted for proof, and Is 10d for cloudy, whilst the supply continues on the increase. For East India the market has a dull appear ance, and prices keep on the decline ; Is 9d to is 10d is the value of proof. In Havannah no sales to report, and not more than is 7d can be obtained for proof. There are sellers of Brandy on low terms, but few buyers met with, either for home use or exportation. Geneva sells slowly at 2s 8d for exportation sort, and at 3s 2d to 3s 6d for fine home consumption kind. For British Corn Spirits the market is quiet at lOs 6d proof. Gin is only in moderate demand; 17 per cent under proof at 9s Bd, and 22 under 9s 2d per gallon. INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India commences on Tuesday, and the quantity declared is extensive, amounting to 17,620 chests. Although there are sellers at a reduction on the July rates of 3d to 4d per lb., still scarcely any business has been transacted this week either in home trade or shipping sorts. TEA.—The inactivity in the market for all kinds of Black has increased, and there are sellers at a fur ther decline in prices, whilst there is a larger quantity on offer. Although Congou of the lower kinds can be obtained fd to id, and the better sorts Id to 2d per lb, under the rates that existed two weeks back, still little disposition has been shown on the part of the town and country trade to operate by private treaty this week in any kind. Other kinds of black met with a dull sale, and are offered upon rather lower terms. Green Tea of all kinds has been purchased in with caution, aad there are sellers at a fall on former rates of id for common, and Id to 2d for the better kinds, whilst there is a plentiful supply. Scented Teas are dull of sale, and rather cheaper. SALTPETRE.—Rough is much required by exporters or the home trade, but in the value we have little varia tion to make known this week, none having been sub mitted to public competition; the tendency of prices, however, is downwards. The market will be better sup plied shortly, and lower rates are looked for. English Refined met with little attention, and there is a desire to receive contracts at 32s 6d to 335. Nitrate of Soda is dull of sale, and prices are on the decline. OlLS.—This afternoon, at public sale 50 pipes fine Cochin Cocoa Nut Oil went at much higher rates, and sold at 67s to 70s 9d ; 30 tuns Southern, low to good, 241 to 261; 10 tuns Humpback 23/ 15s to 26/, which are full rates ; 90 tuns Seal in part sold, pale at 271, straw and yellow 24/ to 251 ss, brown 231 to 244 and boiled 1915 s to 20/, which are lower prices. TALLow.—This afternoon at public sale 86 casks of Australian Tallow were sold at 44s to 45s 6d for mid dling to good. 440 casks Taganrog Mutton 44s 3d to 46s 3d, Beef 44s to 45s 9d. - - - - HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, OCT. 6.—The average price of corn for the week ending Oct. 2 was—wheat, 26f. 44c, ; rye, 16f. 21c., being a fall of 74f. on wheat, and 25f. on rye. The returns from the various markets indicate a general tendency to fall, but at this time the corn trade is slack, and very little is doing. The Communal Council has just had its first sitting, when the Burgomaster presented the gold medal of the kingdom to a young man named Maes Laureat, of the fourth class of the Royal Athe naeum of Brussels. The Council then proceeded to • . the order of the day, and received the report of the Administrative State of the town. The project of the budget for 1848 was referred to the Finance Committee. An interesting discussion arose on the subject of connecting a Pensionnat with the Athenaeum. The great utility of such an establishment was acknowledged by all, but the majority of the Council considered that it would be best to defer it till the Government carried out the plan of establishing a commercial and indus. trial university at Brussels. This having been ac complished, the Pensionnat could be completely and effectively organized. This would also be the oppor tunity for ameliorating the duties in the lower classes of commerce and manufactures, and of harmonizing them with superior courts to which they might be preparing. The project was adjourned, by 16 against 14, for a short period. REFUSAL OF THE POPE TO RECEIVE THE BELGIAN AMBASSADOR.—The great interest which this fa c t has excited induces us to give some extracts. from two letters, one of which M. Leclerq has addressed to the Independence Beige, and another to the Minister for Foreign Affairs upon this subject. " Some assert that there was nothing personal in the refusal of the Holy See to receive me as the repre sentative of Belgium. personal and official character of M. Marson, the Papal Nuncio, is too reputable for the slightest doubt to be entertained of his veracity, and I cannot avoid taking advantage of this occasion to say, that I consider him entirely exempt from the affront which has been personally offered to me, and, I must add, to my country, as I consider the Holy Father as also exempt from it, deceived as they have been by per-. sons, who, I wish it was in my power to say, are not Belgians. But such is the spirit of party, that the honour of the country is set at nought for the gratification of indulging its hatred and its resent ment. I say party spirit. I do not attri.loute it to all the men who belong to what is called the Catholic party, for many of them are incapable of such an action, but I speak of som e among th em. T h i s dis graceful incident in our political career is an evidence how far men may be carried astray when they are not actuated by the love of truth." To the Minister for Foreign Affairs M. Leclerq says, " When with the approval of the King you offered me the mission to Rome, I recognised in it a new occasion for serv ing my country, and I at once accepted the offer, not having the slightest suspicion that my appointment would not be agreeable to the Holy See. This, however, proves to be the case ; the Apostolic Nuncio has notified to you officially . that his Court refuses to agree to my nomination, and that his refusal resulted from my antecedent conduct, which would prevent my being received with plea sure. It is true you asked for the dispatch which contained that notification, and on his refusal to com municate it without the sanction of the Holy See, you resolved not to take any step till you should see whether this request was admitted or refused. But: whatever may result, in this refusal the Nuncio has offi cially, as N uncio, and, in the name of the Court of Rory". given you the notification which I have received ; an& to say the least, it can never be believed that that- Minister has imposed upon you. The communication which you have asked for might easily inform you of some details, some textual terms; but you would learn nothing more. On the whole, it re . - mains o ffi cially true, that my nomination is. not agreeable to the Holy See, sad that upon per-. sonal grounds, injurious to m . y character, and for-. mally announced without previous inquiries as be to what might true or false i n t hese motives... Two courses remain open to me—either to• renounce the mission, and protest against the in-. jury done to my character, or to wait till after the explanations shall have been exchanged between the Belgian Government and the Court of Rome. When the communication demanded shall have been : granted or refused, and my person justified from every imputation, I shall adopt the first course. I renounce,. without waiting for ulterior explanations from the, Court of Rome the mission which you have offered= me on the part of his Majesty, and protest vehe mently, and with all my power, against the - refuse), so injurious to myself, which has been noti_Sed to me in the name of that Court." M. Leclerq goes on to exonerate completely the Pope and the Nuncio, and attribute the refusal to the calumny of his enemies. These letters demand further explanation, both from the Court of Romei and the Government of Belgium.—Flanders Mail,. Oct 7. HAMBURGIT BORSENHALLE, OCT. b. Bills. Money.

This vessel is one of four which have been ordered to be built by the Admiralty, for the purpose of carrying the mail between England and Ireland, and are to be vessels of superior accommodation and extraordinary speed. The Banshee is built of wood, and of a peculiar con struction, from a design furnished by 0. W. Lang, Esq., assistant-master shipwright of her Majesty's Dockyard, Chatham. She is constructed on the diagonal principle, with all the improvements that a long experience in this particular art of ship building have been proved to be most efficient ; and there is no doubt, from the symme try of her form, and the excellent manner in which the constructor's views have been carried out, under his own superintendence, that the intentions of the Lord s Com missioners of the Admiralty will be realised. Her prin cipal dimensions are as follows: — Length between the perpendiculars, 189 feet ; length of k ee l f or tonnage , 172 feet 91 inches ; breadth extreme, 27 feet 2 inches ; ditto, moulded, 27 feet ; ditto, for tonnage, 26 feet 2 inches ; depth in hold, 14 feet 9 inches ; burden in tons, No. 670 5-94.
