SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. until next week, we can be at no loss to discover the cause of this violent and extreme measure. The re turns published elsewhere show that during the week ending on Saturday last, large and increasing appli cations were made to the Bank for loans. The appli cations continued to increase during the present week, and the Bank having made advances up to a certain point did not think it prudent to go farther. The effect is, that the holders of stock' who want cash must force their stock upon the market at any price, and all bankers and dealers in money who hold part of their reserves in stock and Exchequer-bills are obliged still further to limit their credits, in order to avoid the necessity of realising at an enormous depreciation. The excessive demands upon the Bank were the result of a pre-existing pressure, and it is needless to point out in how many ways the severity of that pressure must now be heightened by the course that has been adopted. Now this is a state of things such as, taking all the facts into view, may be said to be unparalleled. We have often enough had seasons of monetary pressure. We have gone through .many varieties of the disease called a crisis, and we have had actual panics not a few; but before the year 1847 we had no such phe nomenon as this of the Bank of England suddenly refusing to make loans on stock, with nearly nine millions of bullion in its coffers. This we hold to be purely the result of the present artificial restrictions —a piece of unmixed injury inflicted on the mercan tile community by the law of 1844. Setting aside the requirements of that law, there is no shadow of ground for such a proceeding. There is no foreign drain acting upon the Bank treasure. There is no apprehension of a drain. There is no reason to doubt that the commerce of the country, as a whole, is in a sound condition. There is no desirable object of public or monetary policy to be attained by refusing short loans of money upon stock, at the high rate of interest which the Bank has fixed. In short, it can not for an instant be doubted that if the Bank were now as free to deal with its own capital as it was before 1844, this rude shock would not have been given so unseasonably to confidence and credit. Re- stricted as the Bank of England is, however, by the separation of its functions, we can readily believe that it has adopted this course from necessity. Its first duty is to take care of its own credit. The law of 1844, by tying up a large portion of its bullion to meet issues alone, obliges its loan and discount busi ness to be conducted upon a reserve too small for transactions so vast and variable in their nature as those of the Bank of England. The Bank directors, therefore, having to keep in view, not as in former times the amount of their gross stock of bullion, but merely the amount of reserve in the deposit depart ment, are induced, or compelled, to regulate their advances by much smaller fluctuations in the reserve than were regarded under the old system. The in terval which separates comparative ease from the most intense pressure is now far less than it was. A mil- MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS• CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS OF TUIS DAY. TIMES.—The Manchester meeting suggests some rather serious reflections. That city is the industrial metropolis of this empire ; and whatever it feels and says on the subject in the sentiment and voice of British industry is a much truer and more practical sense than anything which can be elicited from the heterogeneous and strangely sorted masses thrown together on the banks of the Thames. The instincts of production and commerce cannot fail to govern half a million souls assembled for no other purpose than the staple manufactures of England. We are not claiming infallibility for a m anufacturing mul titude; on the contrary, we consider that in respect of the railway delusion Manchester has been fore most in error. The thought which most effects us on a perusal of the proceedings in Manchester Town-hall on Thursday afternoon is the vast gulf which unhappily divides commercial and poli tical England. To take the most unfavourable view of the case, even to over-state the cu pidity, recklessness, and credulity of trade, here is Manchester confessing its mistake, proclaiming consequences which pride would tempt it to conceal, describing a state of things which calls for prompt remedy, and suggesting the only' possible course, with about as little chance of getting anything done as if it were the village of Little Pedlington peti tioning the Lords to protect the general interests of morality and religion. The character of the present crisis, the follies*d disasters that have led to it, and what ought pow-to be done, have never been better described than by the speakers at Manchester. Yet they speak to -stone::syallF. Nothing will 13e done, Very few words will sufnce to show the utter want of sympathy and common understanding between the Legislature and those mighty but irregular powers and undisciplined impulses to which we owe our railway undertakings. The Legislature has not stirred a step either to check these speculations or to promote them. It has thrown the most tremendous difficulties and expenses in their way, far beyond what were necessary to sift them, and not of a sort to accomplish that object. It has exposed them to a ruinous scramble, in which chance, corrupt in fluence, money, and dexterity ruled the day. It has scarcely made one effort to lay out the great design, to economise the capital sunk in the work, to save This morning it was announced that the Bank of England would for the present discontinue altogether its advances on stock and Exchequer-bills, the rate for which was yesterday raised from 5 to 5i per cent.

PRICE'S • PATENT CANDLE COMPANY. Notice is hereby given, that in pursuance of a Resolution of the Board of Directors of PRICE'S PATENT CANDLE COMPANY, an EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING of the SHARE HOLDERS of the said Company will be held at the londott Tavern, Bishopsgatc-street, in the City of London, on WEDNESDAY, the 13111 day of October instant, at One o'clock in the Afternoon precisely, to sanction and confirm the postponement of the First ,pividend pro posed by the Prospectus of the Company, to 130„rnade payable on the Ist of October, 1847, and to fix the amount of such ; Dividend, and the day on which. the same shall be paid ; and to'consider and determine whether any, and what new Director or Directors shalLbe appointed in the room of the retiring Directors, Sir George. Larpent and Mr. John Cockerell, or either of them; .and to consider of the forfeiture of certain shares held by the above-named retiring DirOctors respec tively ; and to receive and consider the Report of the Board of Di rectors on the position and operations of the Company ; and to carry into effect the resolutions of the Meeting in relation to the matters aforesaid;and give all requisite powers and directions in relation thereto. . Dated this Ist r day of October, 1847. WM. WILSON, Chairman. An intimation was also given that the rate of dis count for first-class paper will henceforth be 54 per cent. on bills not having more than 15 days to run, 6 per cent. on bills not having more than two months to run, and 64 per cent. on all beyond that period. In consequence of the above events, the English Funds, which had opened at a slight decline from yesterday's prices, underwent a fall of 1 per cent. The first quotation of Consols for money was 851 to S, whence they rapidly went to 84t, finally closing at 841 to For the account the range was from 85i to 84k, and the last price was 85, sellers. After business hours, however, they were done at 851. Bank Stock left off 194 to 196, and India Bonds 10s. to ss. discount. Exchequer-bills, after the publication of the Bank notice, were saleable with great difficulty. They were done at 2s. dis- count, and sales were subsequently offered at 35., but there was a general indisposition to purchase, and no amount of any importance could have been dis posed of. The number of loans which became repayable at the Bank to-day was very considerable, and the greatest distrust and inconvenience was occasioned when it was found that a renewal was refused. Owing to the feeling which prevailed half-payments in some instances were taken, and an extension granted upon the remainder. Notwithstanding an almost unexampled state of excitement, and the incessant circulation of rumours, the day passed off without a single failure of any i►n portance, the only suspension being that of a firm in the West India trade, whose engagements are too small to call for any special notice. A report, which was very generally and very recklessly circulated, that the Company of the Copper Miners in England had stoped payment, proved to be without foundation. From Manchester we have accounts of the failure of Render and Milner, commission agents, but the liabilities are not supposed to be large. At the same time we have, on the other hand, the satisfactory news that the report of the stoppage of Birley, Corrie, and Co., only " arises from a temporary inconve nience," and that no demands upon that firm " have been, or are likely to be dishonoured." The natural results of the measures adopted by the Bank of England on the 2d of September have taken place to-day, and the City has witnessed another panic, consequent on the proceedings of that institu tion. Four weeks back in the face of a steady de crease of their reserve of notes, notice was given that advances would be made on stock, Exchequer-bills, and bills of exchange, at 5 per cent., being a re duction of full one-half per cent. upon the rate then current in the market. The inevitable consequences of this plan of reducing the price of their commodity in proportion as the demand for it was increasing, was pointed out at the time in the same way as it was pointed out previously to the Bank-made panic of April last. In both cases, however, experience was necessary to enlighten the directors, and in both cases also the penalty arising out of this necessity has been paid by the public. Instead of husbanding its resources at the time when, owing to the absence of absolute alarm in the money market, a quiet opportunity is presented for it to do so, with a view of securing the means of offering aid when a time of emergency shall arise, and of thus checking the evil of monetary fear, the Bank of England is always the first in the field to add to the terrors of any existing crisis. At periods when the slightest show of liberality, even for four and- twenty hours, would at once serve to check the vague apprehensions which the occurrence of two or three large failures is sure to create (and which appre hensions in their effect are far more dangerous than any real event that could possibly happen), the Bards is always in embarrassment, and, so far from protect ing others, is seen to be engaged in sudden and des perate efforts to protect itself; thus giving the tone to every minor establishment, and causing universal timidity to ensue when everything depends upon the boldness of self-possession. Up to yesterday there was an all-pervading cautiousness in the money. market, but there was no panic. The Bank, how ever, have begun to act, and now there is general confusion.

The effects of human rashness have been fearfully aggravated by a Divine visitation. The great city which has all along been considered the very source and centre of this mad ness, and which is now the chief sufferer, asks fur some remedy. What is it to the Legislature ? After the experience of the last few years, does any one ex pect that anything will be done to arrest the progress of the commercial Juggernaut which is crushing the multitudes of its once infatuated and now powerless devotees ? We are sorry to drop a single word which can imply dissatisfaction with the great political compromises of this country, above all, with any recent " finality," but we are forced to admit that we see in the present facts a sign that our commercial and manufacturing interests are not adequately represented in the Government, or even in the Legislature. To appreciate our present condition, let us suppose it not the spontaneous work of the people them selves, but the tyrannical act of a dominant class. _ _ Prospectuses and full particulars may be obtained upon applica tion to the agents of the office in all the principal towns of the United Kingdom ; and at the head office, No. 50, Regent-street. JOHN A. BEAUMONT, Managing Director. THE PARISH OF MARYLEBONE. Yesterday a very numerously-attended meeting of the directors and guardians of Marylebone took place in the board room of the workhouse, Mr. Lowe in the chair.

The Company transact business in every department of Life and Fire Assurance, in Annuities, Reversions, and Loans. LIFE DEPARTMENT. ACTUARY—J. T. Clement, Esq. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, ono-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001.

FIRE DAPARTMENT. The Company insure houses, furniture, stock in trade, farming stock, and every description of personal property, against loss or damage by fire. The Directors beg to remind their friends, whose premiums become due at Michaelmas, that no extra charge is made at this office for the transfer of policies, and that they will be rated on terms pecu liarly favourable to parties insuring. Insurances may be effected for any period of time ; if for seven Years, the Premium and Duty will only be charged for six. Sept. 27, 1847. JOHN BIGG, Secretary By order of the Board, C. P. 120.1s'EY, Secretary. Bishopsgate Station, September 30, 1647. Mr. MESSER, the relieving officer, reported that there was an increase in the workhouse of 500, and out of the house of 2,700 over and above the corres ponding period last year. Mr. THORNE, the secretary, then introduced the official report of the committee appointed to consider the present arrangements respecting the separation ward, with a view of making some improvments in the system. The report stated that the committee, having satisfied themselves of the utter inefficiency of the existing arrangements for the purposes of classifi cation, especially among the females, had directed their attention, and approved of a report of a com mittee, accompanied with plans and specifications, for the erection of a distinct ward and washhouse for girls in the women's ward. The report also recommended other improvements for the better classification and general amelioration of refractory paupers, as well as to cheek insubordination, and likewise to defeat the object of girls, that of being sent to prison, which they preferred to being in the workhouse. Mr. BELL moved the adoption of the report, and hoped that it would be carried out as speedily as possible. The expense of constructing a separation ward would he 1831. ce, es, [9, B UCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY, 1847.

Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from the impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acri monious humours lodged in the body. 5. This humour, which de generates the blood, has three sources—the maternine, the conta gious, and the personal. 6. Disease and pain have the same origin, and may therefore be considered synonymous terms. 7. Purgation by proper vegetable purgatives is the only effectuual mode of eradi cating disease. 8. Experience of upwards of twenty years has amply proved MORISON'S VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE to be such proper vegetable purgative. 9. From the intimate connexion subsisting between the mind and the body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other. Hygeism—The science of health. Hygeist —A promoter of health. Hygeian—Pertaining to the science of health. These terms have not been adopted through an affecta tion of singularity, but merely for the sake of drawing a sufficiently broad line of demarcation between the old and new schools. The Rev. Dr. SCOBELL seconded the motion, and Mr. POTTER spoke at some length upon this subject, and after an animated debate the motion was put by the Chairman, and carried nem. con., when the meeting dissolved.

W. Miles, litsq., 'M.P. The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The ?Gds attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and t.be whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having tversal spring Joint, also a in: which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every earner, cleansing its route most perfectly. TN CApabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offlee ; while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in eontinuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St James's; at Messrs.

Knowing that heretofore his dreaded knock Had acted on his tenant like a shock. But now there needed not the s ightest fuss, For Mr. Tenant met the landlord thus : Good morning, Mr. Landlord, pray walk In, For Sir, (excuse the phrase), I've got the tin. About a year ago, or maybe less, I set to work to try and save in dress, And having from my neighbours understood That Messrs. MOSES sell both cheap and good, I made a purchase from their stock of stocks, And put the savings in a money box. Here the good tenant on the table roll'd Ilis gains by MOSES —copper, silver. gold, And having counted it he smiled to view Enough to pay his rent and taxes too. Well done, exclaimed the landlord, I propose We drink to MOSES and to MOSES' clothes. LIST OF PRICES. MADE TO MEASURE.

Notice.—No business transacted at this establishment from sun set Friday, till sunset Saturday, when business is resumed till twelve o'clock. A E. M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un cornprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS " On Single and Married Life, " pnb. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretatior of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy" They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate-0 do unto others as he would he done unto—tc live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " tunny side of the way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet •street ; Mann, 39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally, mornings and cvelings), 10, Argyll-plate Regent-street; and all Booksellers. Suppose the chiefs of a feudal aristocracy, ascendant in the Legislature, had procured a vast mass of pecu liar jurisdictions and monopolies, authorising them to levy enormous contributions from the burghers of England, which enabled them to employ a vast popu lation in certain works of private profit and distant utility. The aggregate of exactions is a million pounds sterling a week for five years; and the whole population employed, including men, women, and children, and those who are indirectly dependent on the work, is not less than two million souls. To this state of things great calamities are super added. A famine raises the price of food to a fearful height, and compels an immense outlay for foreign supplies. Another visitation cripples our first staple manufacture. Notwithstanding all this, our supposed lords of the soil, bent on the com. pletion of their fancies and the c onsolidation of their powers, urged on by rivalry, being also om nipotent in the Legislature as well as in their private resources, will not relent. They only urge on the work. They see the wealth of the country percepti bly failing under this vast drain. They see the con sequent flagging of all other more ordinary and more useful branches of employment. What could be imagined more like the rule of a Pharoah, or the ruinous ambition of a Napoleon ? Such, however, is exactly our present state, as far as regards the nature and vastness of the works, the amount of the expen diture, the absoluteness of the power committed to the directors of the work, the fell necessity which urges it on, the present results, and all other re spects, excepting one alone, which is that we owe our bondage rather to our own infatuation than to the bondage of our birth. We have sold ourselves to slavery. Yet, did the Government of this country really represent our true interests, would it not take the earliest and most efficient steps to procure us emancipation from our self-imposed service ? In the fact that such an event is most unlikely—that nothing has been done, and that nothing will be done, to miti gate the difficulty, we detect a want of union and cordial co-operation between the governing and the industrial classes of this country. CHRONICLE.--Th e present position of com mercial affairs demand s the most serious considera tion of every reflecting person. It will be seen from our usual record of the state of the money market, that the uneasiness and pressure which have been ex perienced during the week were felt, in an aggravated degree yesterday, and that a decline of fully one per cent. took place in the value of the public securities. We believe that this increased pressure is purely the result of temporary causes, and that the apprehensions which are at present producing so severe a contraction of credit are not justified by the real state and pros pects of trade. In two branches of our import trade we have had, indeed, very serious failures, but those failures have been connected one with another by close relations, and their occurrence is no proof whatever that the general commerce of the country is nat in a sound and safe condition. A great house like that of Reid, Irving, a n d C o ., i s b roug ht to the ground by causes which ha ve b een f or y ears in ope ration. In their fall they crush others. An India mail brings large remittances in the shape of drafts firatin, and the receivers of least for the moment, in pelled to stop within G ss uo r levhe bills nr et .m o tot t a h fn e cheo i s n u b s s o ee lsevoeitnnhetu, thus coin the last few days, we hear al m r t e ion a g d_ b y eth o me f iru s c o ph m ay e mmo w er h ne o tst,h a a r on e r etfairirneesliudabilities. If even houses either whos e sufficient o a n ss ettos the arempoe i ea n ts te their h o r suffering from temporary (discredit are found to be thus solid, still more certain is it that the great mass of commercial firms, who are in no way connected the possession of as er period.

Our posi tion, therefore, as a whole, is one which ought not to inspire distrust, but hope and confidence. In this belief, we feel called upon by the facts of the present week, and especially by the events of yester day, to direct attention to the working of the Act of 1844, which appears to us to have seriously aggra vated the pressure now felt, and which threatens to produce still worse mischiefs. Our readers are aware of the pains which we have taken to repel the exag gerated charges made ag ains t that Act. To represent it as the cause of the c ontracted circul a t ion , or o f the high rate of interest which we have had during the last six months, implies the most monstrous blind ness to the real facts of our condition. Under any banking system the rat e of interes t wo u l d be hi g h, and the continuance o f a hi g h rate is t he onl y means by which railway companies can be prevented from absorbing the whole disposable capital of the country. A high rate of discount, therefore, is an evil from which no Bank-law could protect commerce at the present time. But the pressure of yesterday was more than this. The Bank of England, having on Thursday raised the rate of in terest for advances upon stock, yesterday refused to make such advances upon any terms. Although the present state of the Bank accounts cannot be known N AVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, SEPT. 24.—The fleet is still in port, but it is reported that it will leave for a cruise about the 10th proximo. The Locust steamer, which has just arrived from Athens, reports that the three line-of battle ships were in port, and would not leave until the Harlequin sloop from Smyrna had joined. The Fantome, 16, had sailed from the Piraeus to re lieve her. —.- WOOLWICH, OCT. I.—The Fisgard, 42, guns, Capt Duntze, is officially ordered to be paid off here on Thursday, the 7th inst. The two pumas, or South American lions, the reindeer, and the condor, have been purchased by Mr. Tyler, proprietor of the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, and these fine and rare animals and bird were taken on shore to-day for con veyance to the gardens. The Garland steam-vessel, Captain Smithett, has returned from attending on the Queen, and will re sume her duties on the Ostend and Calais stations from Dover. This vessel has answered the expectations of every one during the late trials of speed with the fastest and most powerful vessels in England and Scotland, and was never behind in the station she was appointed to take. ---- CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—Of late house-break ings and robberies have been alarmingly bold and frequent in the west of Scotland. Glasgow appears tl be the head-quarters of the gang, but the provinces come in for their share of depredations. The number of offenders, we find, has recently received an addition by an import at Greenock. We mentioned lately the arrival here of the Trident, which had picked up at sea a boat with six men. These, with the boat, the master of the Trident brought to Greenock, and after lingering about town for a few days, they disappeared. They gave some account of their being part of the crew of a wrecked vessel, or some such story; but their true history is no doubt conveyed in a paragraph which we had in the Bermudian of the 24th ult., which says, that six of the most notorious offenders confined within the walls of Hamilton Gaol have made their escape. After clearing the wall which surrounds the gaol, they seized upon a small clipper sail-boat, owned by Lieutenant Ramsey, of the 42d Regiment, and proceeded to sea. On the fore noon, of the morning they escaped, having got clear 1 early, the Government steamer Gleaner was dispatched I in pursuit; but a fine easterly wind had wafted the fleet, little craft so rapidly over the sea, that the steamer, not withstanding a run of sixty miles after losing sight of land, had to return without any tidings of the object of her chase.—Greenock Advertiser. HORSEFLESH AS BUTCHER'S MEAT.—In -Frankfort and several other cities of Germany, societies have been formed of " eaters of horseflesh," the members of which 1 endeavour to remove the obstinate prejudice entertained against the food supplied by the carcases of horses. I For these evils, however, the public have only to thank themselves. The Gazette returns are published once a week, and in these there is no deception. At the time when the Bank volunteered to cheapen its advances, the returns in question gave a warning which the public were not bound to disregard merely because it was lost upon the Bank directors. Week by week since that time the same warning has been repeated, and with growing urgency, and, had these been attended to, the steps to which the Bank has been driven to-day would have been anticipated by all parties, and, instead of creating panic, would have been regarded only as the wholesome result of an attempt to regulate business in total defiance of its commonest principle. When the Bank returns in the Gazette shall be taken at their true value, and be adopted as the guides of all commercial men, and when the shifting measures of the Bank Court shall also be taken at their true value, and be utterly dis regarded, the money market will then be wholly freed from the danger of violent convulsions. Each weekly change will be noticed, and a gradual course will be foreseen ; there may be pressure of the severest kind, but it will never be coupled with the fatal, and, to a people priding themselves upon their mercantile sobriety, humiliating exhibition of help less fright. The accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse notice a further decline in the value of most public securities, arising from the pressure of sales. Foreign stocks had, it appears, experienced the greatest depreciation. The papers from St. John's, New Brunswick, state that the exports of wood to Great Britain and Ireland, from the Ist of January to the Ist of Sep tember, included 57,603 tons of pine timber, 4,311 tons of birch timber, 1,262 tons of spruce timber, 62,865,769 feet of deals, 5,525,359 feet and 272 tons of railway sleepers, and 639,753 feet of boards and scantling. There was a good demand for labour, especially of the kind adapted to waterside employ ment, wages averaging from Gs. to 10s. per day being freely paid. The price of deals was quoted at 51. 10s. to Si. lis. ; timber, 225. 6d. The freightage of deals to Liverpool was Si. 7s. 6d., and to London Si. 15s. 6d. For timber the price was 355. On Londen the rate of exchange was 9 per cent. An account from Pictou, received by the American steamer, says :—" We never remember our harbour to have presented a scene of greater activity than it does at present. Besides the usual number of vessels engaged in the coasting trade and some large ships loading for British markets, there are no less than 70 vessels, British and American, entered at the Mining Company's office, South Pictou, for cargoes of coal, many of them of considerable tonnage. The dates from St. Thomas's extend to the 30th of August, at which period there had been several arri vals of vessels from Martinique and Guadaloupe seeking freight. Sugars at Porto Rico were fetching from 3l gourdes to 3.1 gourdes, but little business was transacting for export. The gross shipments of the article this year amounted to 21,600 hogsheads The last crop of coffee reached 63,000 Spanish quin tals. The advices from Manilla, speaking of the busi ness transacted there in the early part of July, refer to the activity of the coffee market, and the advance which has taken place in price. The descriptions mostly dealt in were those commanding about 9 dollars 2 rupees per picul. Rice was rather lower, the scarcity of freight preventing exports. The white qualities of this article were quoted 2 dollars 2 rupees per picul. Sugars varied between 3 dollars 6 rupees, and 5 dollars 6 rupees. A French vessel, the Auguste Marie, had been chartered for England at 8/. per ton. The rate of exchange upon London was 4 dollars 3 rupees. The Colonial 'markets have shown s y m p toms of considerable heaviness during the week, havin g been therefore, the of F r y, Griffiths, the general affected to a very great extent b y the p resen t pres sure. The distrust which has now for so long a period prevailed, has been greatly increased in the produce-market and Co. Considering, b3 , the suspension th flat ness of the market, it is not surprising that where importers have seemed anxious sellers of sugar, they have been compelled to give way in price, and have only been enabled to effect sales at a reduction of from ls. to ls, 6d. per cwt. At this decline, how-- ever, the grocers and. refiners have come forward more freely than might have been anticipated. Of coffee very large parcels of Plantation Ceylon have been injudiciously brought forward at this un favourable moment, and the result shows that, though the bulk has been disposed of, yet a decline of 2s. to 3s. per cwt. has been submitted to, while good ordi nary has about maintained its previous rates . In the tea market there has been almost a suspension of business. Many of the importers are placing their goods on the market, now that it is perceived, by the arrival of the late mails, that all fear of the ex istence of hostilities in China appears at an end: The dealers, however, show the greatest unwillingness to increase their stocks, and will scarcely make any purchases. Public sales are declared for Tuesday • HOLLAND. The interment of the remains of Napoleons Louis iluonaparte, 'ex-King of Holland, lately bearing the title of Count de St. Leu, and of his son, Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, took place on Wednesday in the church of St. Leu Taverney, near Enghien. The porch and interior of the church were hung with rich draperies of black cloth, relieved by embroidery in silver, and by escutcheons of the arms of the de ceased, and clumps of tri-celoured flags, forming a scene of solemn-splendour when lighted by the- tapers and torches. In the middle of the choir was raised a magnificent catafalque ' Within which were placed the two co ffi ns ; that of the ex-King on the right, covered with a violet pall, and that of his son on the left, having over it a Week pall. On the first was a cross of cloth of gold, surrounded by bees, and having a border of ermine, emblematic of royalty. Upon the coffin was placed a cushion, with the em blems of sovereignty. The four corners•of both palls were wrought with the arms of the ex , King. 'Over the catafalque was a grand dome or canopy suspended from the vault of the church. The corners of the pall were held by the Prince de , Montfort, the Duke de Padoue, the Duke Decazes, and an Italian Prince. More than ten thousand. persons came from Paris and the surrounding towns and villages. By eleven o'clock the church was full.. Between 400 and 500. old soldiers of the Empire, wearing the rich uniform of the old guard. The Hussars, the Curas siers, the Dragoons, the Grenadiers, the Chasseurs, and the Artillery came from Paris, Rouen, Orleans, Lille, Cambrai, and other place's, to attend the fune ral. They were drawn up in lines along the .riave, under the command of Captain Leeomte, of the Hus sars. Several generals and an immense number of officers of the army and National Guards were present in. their uniforms. The funeral service, which was with music, began at half-past twelve. The organ loft was filled with performers from most of the theatres of the capital, who came to contribUte, by their voices or their instruments, to the effect of the solemnity, which was not over till three o'clock. Amongst the persons present we perceived Prince Napoleon, son of Jerome Bonaparte, Princess Ma tilde Demidoff, Madame Wyse, General Arrighi, Duke de Padoue, General Gourgaud, M. de St. Hilaire, the Abbe Coquereau, M. Marchant, Valet de Chambre of the Emperor, Dr. Conneau, the friend of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who was confined at Ham, M. Belmontet, General Sherasky (a Pole), General Oliviera (an Italian), M. de Vatry, and M. de Thaer. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, ex-44.ng of Holland, was born at Ajaccio, in Corsica; on the 2d of September, 1778. He entered the French army at an early age, and accompanied his brother Napoleon to Italy and Egypt. He was aide de-camp of Napoleon when the latter, seizing a standard, rushed upon the Bridge of Arcola. On this occasion Louis placed himself before him, braving the fire of the enemy, and made his body a rampart for his brother and commander. He was sent by Na poleon, when First Consul, to St. Petersburg on a mission, but received at Berlin the news of the death of Paul I. After staying at Berlin about a year, he returned to Paris, and was made colonel of the sth regiment of dragoons. He became soon a general of brigade, a councillor of state, and subsequently a general of division. In 1802 he married Hortense Fanny de Beauharnais, daughter of the Empress Josephine. When Napoleon became Emperor, Louis received the title of constable and colonel-general of carabineers. After having successively been appointed Governor-General of Piedmont, and governor ad interim of the capital in place of Murat, he took the command of the army of the north in Holland. The Batavian Republic was soon afterwards converted into a kingdom by Napoleon, and a treaty, by which the Crown of Holland was given to Prince Louis was signed between France and Holland on the 24th May, 1806. On the 9th June the states of Holland sent an embassy extraordinary to Napoleon, to request, in the name of the Dutch people, that Louis might be their King, and almost immediately afterwards..he assumed the title. The first care of the new King was to re establish the finances of the state, and he earnestly solicited the Emperor to recal the French troops, who were paid by the Dutch nation, and to diminish the naval armaments. This request was eventually ae dedect to. A civil and criminal code according to his views were drawn up by eminent men, and he established an equal system of taxation. He finally proposed to the legislative body a law creating the order of the Union and that of Merit. To his quali ties, as a statesman and a Sovereign, he added a noble character for humanity. In 1807 a barge loaded with gunpowder blew up at Leyden, and caused dreadful disasters. The King hastened to the spot, and assisted the sufferers. The persuus who sustained losses were by his order exempted from all taxes for ten years. In an inundation of the Gueldre, the King, although ill at the time, rushed to the as sistance of the people, and exposed himself to immi nent danger in the example he gave to others to exert themselves for the sufferers. The benevolence with which he listened to all the complaints .that were made to him endeared him to his subjects; but what inspired them with most veneration was the humanity that he displayed in the village of Arle s in exposing himself volun tarily to the effects of a contagious malady in order to give succour to the inhabitants. The love of Louis for his Dutch . subjects was such that he re fused without hesitation the Crown of Spain when offered to him by the Emperor. It having been re solved by Napoleon to establish his continental system, an order was given for the sequestration of all English merchandise, which would have the effect of destroying the commerce of Holland. Louis, from a sense of duty to his subjects, long resisted the com mands of the Emperor, and Marshal Oudinot, at the head of an army of 20,000 men, was sent into Holland to enforce the continental blockade. The King then, finding that he was unable to protect the interests of the Dutch nation, abdicated in favour of his son. The abdication was rejected by the Emperor, and by a decree dated the 9th of July, 1810, Holland was united to the empire. The ex-King left Haarlem secretly, and went to Gratz, in Styria, where he re sided three years, under the title of Count de Saint Leu. He had refused a brilliant apanage, and or dered hi& wife to resist all assistance from the Emperor for himself and his children. In 1813, when the united forces of Europe appeared to be on the point of falling upon France, Louis offered his services to the Emperor, by whom they were ac cepted. He proceeded to Switzerland, but, notwith standing the answer he received from the Emperor, remained there unoccupied. When Holland threw off the French yoke, Louis, who was then at Soleure, addressed to the Provisional Government a letter, as serting his claims to the throne, but they were op posed by the Allied Powers. The Count de Saint Leu finally retired to the Papal states with some mem bers of his family. In his retreat he devoted himself chiefly to literature. He was the author of the following works :—" Marie, ou les Hollandaises," " Documens Historiques sur la Hollande," " moires sur la Versification," an opera and a tragedy, a collection of poems, and a reply to Sir Walter .3cott on his history of Napoleon. The ex-King was an advocate for the abolition of capital punishment. " A King," said be, "owes to Gad, to !posterity, and to the nation, an account of all the persons in su b j ection to him." ' lle died at Leghorn, on the 25th oft ofJune,hs 1846, leaving a request that his body and t hat son, who was killed at Forli in 1831, in the disturb ances of Romagna, might be taken to France, andi buried at Saint Leu with the remains of his father aid his first son, which lie there.
