"An application has been made at Monte Video to the commodore, to land there the Buenos Ayres mail bag, which he refused to do, as the packets are not now detained there, and the letters punctually de livered here on their arrival. It - seems, however, that the object of this application is to increase the post office revenue at Monte Video, which is sold to and administered by a foreign company there, and every single letter is charged is. 6d., whether addressed to Monte Video or Buenos Ayres. "A memorial, numerously signed by the mer chants here, is about to be forwarded to Sir Thomas Herbert, begging him to resist the late extra duties put on at Monte Video, considering the same a war tax, from which, by treaty, British subjects are exempt. We do not think the decree will be carried into effect. " The legitimate merchants here are complaining very much against the present state of things in this river, and we should not be surprised to see a meeting of them, at which a majority would attend, to peti tion the Government to cause the French blockade to cease. It is really distressing to observe 80 or 100 large or small foreign craft loading and discharging in the inner roads of this port, more than two •thirds of which are occupied in the trade with Monte Video, and are solely permitted to do so for the benefit of the Custom-house contractors there, and to support a foreign garrison in arms. The movement referred to, though tardy, if it takes place, may do good. " We sincerly trust the French will raise the blockade on receipt of advices of England having done so, as by this means an arrangement would take place with the in and outside parties at Monte Video, and a short time after the resumption of trade, friendly feelings would be engendered, and the way paved for a final adjustment.

IJORRIBLE MURDER AT MADRID. MADRID, Nov. 22.—A murder was committed on Tuesday last which has given rise to the strangest reports, though at first it appeared merely an ordinary case of robbery as the object, and of murder as the means of effecting it. Senor Fullera, chaplain of the Duke and Duchess of Rianzares, occupies a house or suite of apartments, situated in the lower story of the palace of the latter, in the Calle de las Rejas. The only person living with him was a female housekeeper, who is spoken of as being good looking, though not very young. It appears that the chaplain had gone out on the afternoon in 'question to purchase some books in the Calle del Leon. which is quite at the opposite part of the town. He returned at five, and found the unfortunate woman lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood, with her head 'Yearly cut off, in fact only retained by some fragments of skin. It is said that there were marks on her person which indi cated that she made a desperate resistance. A gilt button, with some blue cloth attached to it, is said to have been found on the ground. No cries were heard. The murderer, whoever he was, had washed his hands afterwards in the wash-hand basin. It does not appear that any suspicions have fallen on the chaplain, who is said to h ave f oun d, on l oo ki ng about the room, that four dollars and some copper money which he had left there were missing, and also a small miniature portrait. The idea of robbery having been the object has, however, given way to other reports, upon which the Eco del Comercis has the following remarks. It says :—" In our num ber of yesterday we copied what the Popular said about the horrid murder committed in the house of the Duke and Duchess of-Montmoiel, and respecting which very significant rumours have been circulated. No one could , give the_ news earlier than the Eco, since, from its proximity to the Calle de las Rejas, it had occasion to know it early in the morning—an b w e h ca at us th e e i y t w kn as ow a . lu N es e t v io e n rti c ie f l a e n ss a t t h roc e i -E ou e s ° cr w im as e hour fruitful in n ews , as th e servants tell one another si c l o e m nt . com mitted on the person of a housek ee p er o f an , ecclesias tic, fair in person, and who, as such, might have in spired desires or jealousies which, resisted or denied, may have cost her her life. Our prudence was na turally increased by the circumstance of the murder having been committed in a house of such category, where it is not easy that they can allow persons, un less well known, or who state the object which takes them there, to enter, since no one will believe that free entry is given in the house of the Duke and Duchess to all who go there. But there is more : the murderer seems not to have feared any surprise, and to have acted as if he had been in his own room, since he washed the hands, which he had stained with the blood of his victim, in the wash-hand basin. It belongs to the tribunals to appreciate the commenta ries that are made in consequence of this event, and the suspicions connected with it, if indeed they do not hold back before the considerations which retain our selves." Or, alternatively, It is intended by the said Bill or Bills, to autho rise and carry into effect a sale and purchase, or a lease, by one or more of the said Monkland and Kirkintilloch, Ballochney, and Sla mannan Railway Companies, of the undertoking or undertakings be longing to such Company or Companies, to the other or others of the raid Companies, or to enable the said Companies respectively, to enter into, and complete such sale and purchase, or to grant and accept such lease. And also to make arrangements with each other for fixing the terms upon which such sale and purchase shall take place, or such lease be .entered into.

It is astonishing how little the journals occupy themselves with the murder committed in the palace of Queen Christina. It appears that the chaplain has been arrested, but that he is able to prove that he had been away for four hours when he returned that afternoon, while the medical men who were called in state that the murder could not have been committed more than three-quarters of an hour be fore they saw the body. It should be observed that there is a constant guard of soldiers who parade before the Palace, and that neither the sentinels nor the porter of the establishment had seen any one enter or leave about that time, and, consequently, the inference that it must have been committed by some one in the Palace is almost beyond doubt. The murdered woman had recently arrived, it is said, from Valencia, and was about thirty years of age. The body was taken to the usual receptacle at the llospital de San Carlos. The local tribunal of the district is said to be occupied in investigating the matter MITCHELL, HENDERSON, and MITCHELL, Solicitors for the Sill. Glaigow, Wovember 11, 1847. NEW ELECTION FOE EDINBUSGIL —Mr. Cowan has resolved not to attempt taking his seat for the city. having been at the time of his election a Government contractor. He has now got rid of the contract, and is to offer himself for re-election. This is precisely the course which, after the fact of his being a contractor transpired, we said would ultimately be found necessary, and which some of our contemporaries, who had not taken the trouble to examine the facts and the statutes. set down as ridiculous. Mr. Cowan was in no danger from a petition ; but he was at the mercy of any in former who chose to sue before a civil court for the sum of 5001. for every day he retained his scat. There is at present no probability of any opposition to his re-elee- Lion. We believe we may say that at least none is con templated or desired by the leaders of the party that supported Mr. Macaulay during the late contest. As to the Tories, we may infer, from the extensive support they formerly gave Mr. Cowan, that they are well enough pleased with things as they are.—Seetswian. STORY OF THE PENINSULAR.

TESTIMONIAL TO BENJAMIN HAWES, ESQ.—On Friday evening a meeting of the subscribers to the fund for presenting a testimonial to Benjamin Hawes, Esq., one of the late Members for tke borough of Lambeth, was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee ap pointed to receive subscriptions, and to recommend to the subscribers the most suitable form in which such memorial could be offered. Laurence Redhead, Esq., was called to the chair; and having briefly stated the object of the meeting, the secretary read the report of the committee, showing that the sum of 7001. had been received, and that additional sums had been promised. The committee recommended that the fund should bo applied to cover the expenses of any election that might take place for the return of Mr. Hawes to Parliament for any borough that might seek his services—a reserva tion of 100/ being made for the purpose of presenting to Mr. Hawes a piece of plate bearing an inscription that should set forth the object for which the fund had been raised. On the motion of Mr. Hooper Hartnell, seconded by Mr. Sim, a resolution embodying the sug gestion of the committee was unanimously adopted. — Surrey Mercury. FOREIGN POTATOES.—The recent arrivals of this esteemed vegetable from abroad have comprised soave from the Hanseatic towns of .Efamburgh and Bremen, Holland, Denmark. Belgium, and Guernsey, and one from Sydney, New South Wales, the largest being from the first-mentioned place, the supplies from which have been of an extensive character. The notice of these in]• portations of potatoes in this succinct and general man ner, will be of much interest, as none took place during the greater portion of the summer and autumn. Two of the supplies from Hamburgh took place in vessels be longing to Pwllhelli, the rest were all in British vessels or in ships belonging to the respective countries from which they took place.

PORTSMOUTU, Nov. 28.—Our last adviees from th( above squadron were to the 9th inst.; we now con tinue the interesting details - from that date to tht 20th : " Nov. 9.—At 8.30 A.M. Sig,llal WA,I made Ven geance part company.' She was soon under wcigl for the Mediterranean, her hand playing as she sailed past the other members of the squAron, • Should null acquaintance he fin-got,' and Rule Britannia.' The Howe, 120, Captain Sir J. Stirling, in-rived, an , came in to-day from Madeira, after dienilarling the Queen Dowager. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Moorman, sailed in the evening for the Mediterranean. The Admiral inspected the Odin steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. F. T. Pelham, this day, and made a very long and minute examination, exercised and trained her guns in every direction. hoisting out paddle-box and other bolts, &c., all of which manoeuvres were executed in a manner highly to the satisfaction of the Admiral, considering the short time she had been in commission. At 1.30 P.m., signal was made, " Hoist out, man, and arm boats,' which was promptly done, and they went up the river under the command of Captain Milne, of the St. Vincent, and exercised firing, forming line of-battle, and performing a variety of other ma nceuVres. " 10.—The Odin sailed for the Mediterranean to augment the steam squadron under the Commander in-Chief there, Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, G.C.B. " 11.—At eight A.M. up royal and topgallant yards. At nine, signal made to Shift topgallantmasts and jib-booms.' Caledonia was, as usual, first with top gallantmasts, then the St. Vincent, Canopus, Queen, and Howe; with jib-booms, the Avenger steam frigate was first, but she having no flying jib-boom, enabled her to do that; next, the Caledonia, Canopus. Howe, Queen, and Dragon, and last the St. Vincent and Amphion. (Another Correspondent gives this manoeuvre thus,—' From sway and lower away royal and topgallantyards to the yards being crossed again, topgallantmasts were shifted,—Queen's in 15 minutes; Caledonia, 16 ; Canopus, 16i ; St. Vincent, 19; Howe, 19. In shifting jib-booms—Caledonia was 52 minutes ; Queen, 55 ; Howe, 59 ; Canopus, 60 ; St. Vincent, 90.') " A signal was made by the Admiral to make better arrangements for shifting jib booms. At sunset shifted topgallantmasts by signal as follows :—Cale donia, Howe, St. Vincent, Queen, and Canopus. (Another correspondent gives the inanceuvre thus, — Caledonia, 12i minutes; Howe, 14k; St. Vincent, 15i ; Queen, 17i ; Canopus, 20; and adds, a slight accident happened on board the Queen, which re tarded her a few minutes.' Signal from Admiral to Caledonia, hake less noise.' General signal,— ' Admiral requests the pleasure of captain,' company to-morrow to lunch at two r.m., to meet the King of Portugal. Full dress.') "12.—At nine A.m. a funeral took place from the St. Vincent, to inter the remains of Mr. Riches, a a midshipman, who fell a victim to the typhus fever, alluded to in my last. The gallant deceased's re mains were interred in the English burial ground, followed thither by the captains of the fleet, and a brilliant staff of mourners from the ships. At one p.m. the squadron dressed ship and prepared royal salute, and at 1.30 his Serene Highness the Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar and his son the Prince Her mann of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by Sir Hamilton Seymour, the British Minister, who were invited by Sir Charles Napier to meet the King of Portugal, arrived and were received on board the St. Vincent by Sir Charles Napier, at the gangway, under a royal salute; the St. Vincent's officers being on the quarter deck. At 130 the captains and commanders of the squadron, who had been previously invited by signal repaired on board the St. Vincent in full state uniform, and were presented to their Serene High nesses. At 2.30 the squadron manned yards, as his Majesty the King of Portugal was observed coming down the Tagus in his state barge. At 2.40 his Majesty, with the Prince of Portugal, Duke of Oporto, and one of his principal aides-de-camp, was received at the gangway of the St. Vincent by the Admiral in full uniform. Their Serene Highnesses the Duke and Prince of Saxe Weimar, and all the captains and commanders of the fleet, also the officers of the St. Vincent in full dress, received his Majesty on the quarter deck, when the royal standard of Por tugal was hoisted and a salute fired from all the squadron, which the foreign men-of-war joined in, the bands playing the Portuguese national air. After the cap tains and commanders had been presented, his Ma jesty and suite visited the decks and store-rooms of the St. Vincent, whilst the crew were at divisions, the respective officers of the ship being presented on passing. After visiting every part of the ship, his Majesty, the Prince Royal, Duke of Oporto, Duke of Saxe Weimar, Prince of Saxe Wei- mar, his Excellency Sir Hamilton Seymour, and all the captains of the squadron partook of a sumptuous dejeuner with Sir Charles Napier, the magnificent service of plate presented by the city of London to the Gallant Admiral for his success in capturing the Miguelite squadron, being laid out on the occasion. On the wine passing round, Sir Charles gave The health of the Queen of Portugal,' with three times three cheers, the band playing the Portuguese national air. His Majesty the King of Portugal acknowledged the compliment, and gave The health of her Majesty the Queen of England,' three times three cheers, and many more followed this, the band playing God save the Queen.' His 1 1 Excellency the British Minister, Sir H. Seymour, returned thanks, and proposed The health of his Majesty King Ferdinand of Portugal,' with three times three, the band, as before, playing the Portu guese national air. His Majesty briefly returned thanks, expressing his sense of the high marks of respect paid him by the Admiral and officers of the British squadron, and her Majesty Queen Victoria's representative, also the gratification of himself and sons with the inspection of the flag ship that day. The brilliant assemblage then broke lir . " His Majesty having expressed a wish to visit the Queen, 110. the barges were got ready, when the Duke and Prince of Saxe Weimar accompanied his Majesty in the state barge, a royal salute being fired on his leaving the St. Vincent. Sir Charles Napier and Sir Hamilton Seymour also accompanied the royal party to the Queen, at the gangway of which ship the King was received by Captain Sir Henry Leeke and Commander Schomberg, all the other offi cers being stationed on the quarter deck in full dress, the usual compliments of royal salute, manning yards, guard of honour, &c., being paid, the seamen were at divisions. The royal party visited and inspected every part of the ship, and the King expressed his gratification and astonishment at the size and capabi lities of the splendid three-decker. After expressing his thanks most warmly, and highly complimenting the captain and officers, his Majesty left the Queen at 5.40 raa., under the same ceremonies as on arrival. Altogether, the visit of his Majesty was a most splendid and imposing affair. The Tagus has not presented so enlivening a spectacle for many a year. " 13th.—The English mail arrived to-day. Squadron exercised topgallant and royal yards in the morning. The Admiral took up his quarters ashore for the winter to-day. " 14.—Sunday. No movements. " 15.—The Admiral went on board the Avenger steam-frigate, Captain Dacres, to inspect her, and continued for five hours examining every part of her, and performing every evolution in the service, with guns, boats, sails,- masts, and yards, &c. She came out of the ordeal in a manner highly gratifying to hereaptain and officers, and satisfactory to the Admiral. Captain Dacres will be Flag-Captain immediately Cap tain Napier (his successor to command the Avenger) arrives.. At 9.15 signal was made ' Shift c ourses, jib, and spanker,' which manoeuvre wa s performed_t. by the ships in the following order: —Canopus, S - Vincent, Queen, Amphion, and Howe. p y e. l ace Theto-da Cale donia was annulled. A funera l too from the Howe, a clerk (Mr . Spong) having d ied yesterday. His remains w ere interred in the En glish burial-ground, the officers of the squadron fol lowing. Captain J. Stirling, of the Howe, 120, gave a grand banquet on b o ard to-day, to which 26 of the country were invited. Amon first people of the them were the Marquisand Marchioness of Fayal, g General Sada Bandeira, the Marchioness of Limeres, the Count and Countess Zeferini, Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, Consul and Mrs. Smith ; Captains Moresby, of the Canopus, Sir H. Leeke, of the Queen, Milne, of the St. Vincent, Dacres, of the Avenger, &c. The august party met in the handsome cabin lately occupied by the Queen Dowager, and separated highly gratified w ith t h e hospitality' and urbanity of Sir James Stirling, their gallant enter tainer. " 16. No movements. "17. The Sidon steam-frigate, Captain llenderson, C. 8., anchored at eight o'clock, five days from Ports mouth, with the Earl and Countess Dalhousie, family, and suite on board, the new Governor-General of India, en route for Alexandria. Sir Charles Napier and the British Minister called on Lord Dalhousie immediately after the Sidon anchored., After these visits th e E ar l and Countess prpeeoqd'on shore, the to Cintra, returning late in the evening on board 1 Sidon..

Its triumphs will shortly be o'er; The clocks will have soon tolled its knell, And proclaimed that " November's no more." A comfortless month has it been, With' its fogs, and its damp, and its cold; No sun-beam enlivened its scene, While vapours around it were rolled. But drear as November has proved. Its vapours no ntisehlef have done For danger at once I removed, By going to MOSES and SON. I purchased a coat for November, A sample for all in the trade; And really I've cause to remember The capital purchase I made. This over-coat still suits me well, And, thanks to E. MOSES and SON, I hey've thousands, just like it, to sell, So that each may be furnished with one. LIST OP PRICES. 11.ZADT WADI.

Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance discloced, in hew many could It be traced to physical disQualificatione and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used- in • moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief, and of greater or less injury ts the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the 'sitars and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any'other to which it is subject. This work 'contains RR accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly require. the closest attention and study, for what subject can he of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed.

WESTWARD PROGRESS OF THE CHOLERA. Accounts from Malta, received y es t e rday, yid Leg horn, announce that on b oar d th e French Government steam-packet Mentor, which arrived at that island on the 14th November, from Constantinople, Smyrna, and the Piraeus, the lieutenant second in command had been attacked on the 16th with a disease of the bowels, which being suspected to be cholera, the steamer was ordered to sea on the 17th by the quaran tine authorities, and at the moment of getting under weigh, the patient expi re d un d er c i rcum stances which left but little doubt of the identity of the disease. Fifteen passengers, among whom was the Chevalier Cordova (with his family), late Spanish Minister at the Sublime Porte, had fortunately for them been already landed in the Lazzaretto, and were not of course called upon to re-embark. The Board of Health had previously, on the Bth of November, come to the following determination, in anticipation of some such case : .‘ As the cholera is now raging in several ports of the Black Sea, and in other places, the committee has come to a resolution to forbid the entrance into port of all those vessels comin, from places where the cholera exists, which should have had cases of death by cholera, or persona sick, within ten days of their approaching this island, which vessels will remain under sail outside the harbour for such period of time as the committee may ccnsider necessary, it being well understood that such period can never be 1.:1.s than ten days frcm the day of the last case occurring on board. " The doctor of the quarantine department will go alongside of such vessels, to obtain the requisite in formation, which must be sent to the health committee. " Vessels under such circumstances, on being ad mitted into the port of quarantine, must consume such a period of time as the committee shall decide upon." And on the 16th, in consequence of receiving ac counts from Lord Cowley, her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires at the Sublime Porte, to the effect that between the 24th of October and the Bth of Novem ber, notwithstanding the prevalence of cold (and consequently favourable) weather, nine cases had occurred at Constantinople (though in some of them the medical men were not agreed as to the positive nature of the disease), considered it necessary as a matter of further precaution to ex tend the period of a quarantine from ports where the cholera actually prevails to twelve days for passen gors (whether by merchant vessels, ships of war, or steam-packets, and to fifteen days for goods of a sus ceptible nature; these latter to undergo due depura ration in the Lazzaretto, a practice which had been discontinued on the reduction of the Levant qua rantine. A board of health was sitting on the 18th to con sider whether any further restrictions were called for in consequence of the fatal case of the day preceding, but up to the post hour no resolutions had been come to. If the present regulations are strictly acted up to, some difficulty or inconvenience may arise in the sending on the India mails by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamers arriving at Malta from Constantinople, should they chance to have had sick ness on board, for it will be next to impossible to coal a steamer in the winter months, unless she be admitted into port, a circumstance which we un3er stand has been brought under the official notice of the authorities by the company's agent at Malta, and which, no doubt, was under discussion by the Board of Health at its sitting above referred to. On former occasions, St. Paul's Bay, some dis tance from Valetta, was destined to receive vessels having sickness on board. From Constantinople, under date of the Bth of November, they write, that the cholera makes no progress, owing to the cold weather. There have been only thirteen cases in many days, and only four of them fatal. It does not appear that the disease will be malignant. Accounts from Bagdad are con soling—the cholera has ceased in that city, and other neighbouring places. Dr. Drotz, who has studied this sickness on the spot, is convinced from experi ence that by the assistance of sanitary measures, to be strictly observed, an end may be put to this scourge. Trehisonde is entirely free from cholera ; it has also ceased within thirteen leagues of that city. From Palermo accounts to the 22d October, men tion, that stringent regulations have been adopted by the Board of Health of that city, respecting all yes. gels coming from ports where the contagion has ma nifested itself. • [PitICE SD.

The Howe made signal for permission to shift topsails, and did it in 20 minutes. -" A parting dinner was given to-day by Captain Sir Henry Leeke to the ward-room officers of his ship and a select circle of their friends, whom the gallant Sir Henry had invited to meet them, con sisting of twenty -four guests." The Britomart, 10, Commander N. C. Chamber.. lain, arrived at Sierra Leone from England on the 27th of September. A letter from her of that date says—" Just after we anchored in came a prize taken by the Waterwitch on her passage home. Tile prize was in charge of Lieutenant Mansfield, of the Water witch, and while his men were aloft three of the slaver's crew rushed on deck and stabbed him (Lieu tenant Mansfield) very dangerously. He could only just utter to the man at the wheel, 'Steer south,' when he dropped. He was fourteen days without surgical aid, and when he arrived at Sierra Leone he was nearly dead. It is a kind intervention of Providence he has lasted the voyage out to tell the tale and bring to justice his intended murderers. The pirates are to be tried for their lives. On the Brito mart's passage out a man of the name of Oda was loading a gun, when in the act of ramming home the cartridge the charge exploded and not a vestige d the man has been seen since. It is considered he was blown to atoms, and that the fatal calamity was )wing to the captain of the gun not serving the vent." At the date of our letter Lieutenant Mansfield was doing very well. The Asia, 84, Captain Stopford, flag of Rear-Ad miral Phipps Hornby, C. 8., sailed yesterday morn ing for the Pacific, calling at Plymouth. She takes ~ut dispatches for the Queen Dowager at Madeira. The Comet steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Rigge, arrived off Belem Castle, Lisbon, on the 21st, in four days from Plymouth. An order was received here on Friday directing the Admiral Superintendent to make the necessary arrangements for the formation of a library is this dockyard. It is to he accessible, under certain re• strictions, to the workmen in the evening. All the men belonging to the battalion for musket drill are to be instructed, in addition, in the battery and field piece exercise, and every officer and man is to take his turn of duty. We are sorry to learn that the Admiralty have re fused payment of the head-money, amounting to 10,9001., for pirates condemned by the Admiralty Court, to her Majesty's ship Semarang, Captain Sir E. Belcher, who is going to appeal against the judgment to the Privy Council.—Nautical Standard. WooLwrcu, .Nov. 27.—The Janus steam-vessel, when tried down the River on Wednesday last, was found to have acquired a speed of 7 1-10 knots per hour, making 17 strokes per minute, with 10Ib. pressure, and 121 b. upon the condenser, the immersion of the vessel being 11 feet 3 inches forward, and 11 feet 8 inches aft. She was taken into the basin to-day to have her steam power tried by the dynamometer. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, is under orders to leave Wool wich on the 15th of December, for Portsmouth, to be paid advance at that port. The Acheron steam-vessel, Captain Lort Stokes, will leave in the end of next week for New Zealand, where she is to be employed on the surveying service. She is to take out a number of cases, and fig, mul berry, peach, and numerous other fine trees and plants of various sorts, with the seeds and germs of clover, grasses of many sorts, from Garroway and Moyes' nursery at Bristol. FLANDERS MAIL. COMMERCIAL INTRLLIGENCEo—PRAGUE, NI . OV. 21. —The crisis which afflicted England so severely, and which could scarcely fail of producing bad effects on the Continent, had hitherto passed without causing any detrimental effects on our commercial and financial interests. Money had not for years been so plentiful as this year, nor had the discount ever been so firm and regular as during the past months, when it was e between 4 an d 6 per cent., consequently lower than in all the considerable markets of Europe. Great, therefore, was the consternation on 'Change to-day when the intelligence was communicated that one of our first houses, the loom .factory of Ritter, had suspended payment. Much sympathy is ex pressed by all for the highly esteemed and re spected head of the establishment, and likewise for the vast number of workmen who will be thrown out of employ by their failure : several hundred persons were employed in constant work, and the weekly payment amounted to about 5001. It is earnestly to be desired that the business may be soon resumed. The amount of the debts is not yet positively known, but they are said to exceed 300,000 florins. A sad accident has occurred in our vicinity, at the new railway works at Auising, where the Prague and Dresden line runs close along the banks of the Elbe, through immense masses of rock which are piled up there, and through which the road has to be cut, an employment in which thousands of workmen are at this moment engaged. A ferry which was going across suddenly sunk, with a number of men. About 30 of them sank to rise no more, several of them the fathers of families. STETTIN, Nov. 18.—The number of ships which have run into our harbour in the month of October is 186. They were chiefly laden with corn, especially wheat, likewise linseed, wood, and bricks. Our in land corn trade is becoming more active. During the severe gales, which have done so much damage to our shipping in the latter part of October, it was a remarkable fact that none of the clockworks of the pilot station on the important Island of Ruden sus tained the slightest damage.
