There must be something radically defec tive in the condition of any nation when myriads of its inhabitants, who might be the producers of national wealth, are compelled to remain without occupation, and to consume unproductively in place of increasing the national resources. The wretched state of Ireland affords a melancholy example of the results of pauper izing an entire kingdom. We have witnessed a land of extraordinary natural fertility, with magnificent harbours and rivers, vast quan tities of labour easily attainable —in fact a drug in the market—and all the elements of na tional prosperity—and to what a depth of misery has she fallen—and from what ? Simply from the mis government of her rulers through a long series of years, which has led to the lands not being half cultivated, producing scarcely one-fourth of what could be obtained therefrom ; to millions of acres, that might easily be reclaimed so as to pay at least ten per cent. on the amount expended on their improvement, re maining utterly waste and unproductive, and to the bulk of her population remaining in a state of inutility, when the proper application of their labour would change the entire condition of their country from one of the deepest distress to great prosperity— would convert the trackless wastes into smiling and well-cultivated homesteads—and the squalid hovels, now the abodes of misery and desitution, into humble but cheerful cottages, inhabited by a happy and contented people. And yet to attain those blessings, to make Ireland the right arm and support of Britain, in place of a grievous and weighty burden, all that is required is the due application of her own internal resources —she requires but little, if any, foreign assistance. The want of capital is said to be her chief grievance, from which all her miseries proceed, owing to which there is a stay to every species of improvement, to every description of productive employment. But this is not so. In the vast amount of labour that is at her disposal she possesses a real capital, far more valuable than if she had heaps of hoarded bullion in her banks. The latter would be absolutely useless but for an id ea l an d fi ct i t i ous va l ue attached thereto ; the former is th e rea l f oun d a ti on o f na ti ona l wea l t h . Capital is nothing but hoarded labour, and al though I reland has not, owing to the existence y of the s ame causes by which she is still depressed, laid by, and accumulated the monuments of past in dustry, she pes:esies in abundance the only . source from which it can be obtained. The mine is there well stored with the precious m g e r t e a l ls t , but it remains un wrought and neglected. llerof a.meraeal want has been a,nndshof having,hit Ju di_ Money has been too scarce, and cemmand:d' (.too%s. a price, too exorbitant a rate of interest. there 111-11 not a sufficient circulation for the wants and exigen cies was of the nation, and consequently improvements were not attempted, w irks were left undone, the people were compelled to be satisfied with the scan tiest subsistence of the coars , :st description, even in the most propitious seasons, without the slightest superfluity, while at an adverse period they we re reduced to the most fearful state of destitution, and dependent on the charity and benevolence of other nations for the means of dragging on the most wretched existence. And such is the condition to which our own once happy land will be brought if we persevere in an obstinate adherence to the unwise and pernicious monetary law under which for twenty-eight years we have been re stricted, and by which all our energies have been weak ened and impaired, s 3 hich rendered the nation far less prosperous during seasons of universal peace and tranquillity, when the Temple of Janus might be said to have been closed throughout the whole of the civilised world, than it had been during the conti nuance of the most sanguinary and expensive wars. Already tens of thousands of labourers have been driven from their employment, and with their families exposed to the most painful privations. Artizans and operatives of every description have either been obliged to remain in perfect idleness or to work short time. No class of labour has been spared. A shout of triumph has been raised because the railway works have at length been stayed, and the directors in consequence of the inordinate price of money, at length obliged to yield; but that yielding has necessarily been accompanied by the discharge of many thousand navigators. The progress of our industry, the erection of works, that would remain perpetual monuments of our power have been ar rested ; and why ? because we sacrifice everything to the maintenance of a currency founded on a gold basis which is wholly insufficient for the wants of the country. We make money dear by artificial means. Formerly usury was prohibited by law under weighty penalties, be cause it was known that when carried to too great an excess it crippled our trade and commerce, and checked production. Then, interest after the rate of five per cent. was the highest that could legally be taken on any transaction, anything greater than that being looked on as deeply injurious to all the national interests, and contrary to public policy. Now the Bank of England is prohibited by Government from discounting at less than eight per cent., and it is needless to say that under such circumstances the rate throughout the country must be at least from ten to twelve per cent.—a rate which, if maintained for any prolonged period, must prove destructive to our merchants and traders, and act almost as a prohibition to our manufactures. It is impos sible that such a system can be con tinued. The country will not submit to it. There. must be a circulation proportioned to the wealth, to the taxation, and to the population of the kingdom. The undue scarcity at present creates a scramble amongst the different interests, each ascribing their own sufferings to the undue demands of others. There should be enough for the legiti mate demands of all. Mr. LOCI E, in his " Considera tions on Money," has afforded an apt illustration of this state. He says, " People not perceiving the money to be gone are apt to be jealous one of another, and each suspecting another's inequality of gain to rob him of his share, every one will be employing his skill and power the best he can to retrieve it again, and to bring the money into his pocket in the same plenty as formerly. But this is but scrambling amongst ourselves, and helps no more against our want than the pulling off a short coverlet will among children that lie together, preserve them all from the cold. Some will starve unless the father of the family pro vide better, and enlarge the scanty, covering." All the evil is ascribed to the demands of the railways, whereas it should be to the inadequate circulation. The only remedy is for the father of the family (the Government) to enlarge the scanty covering, and give sufficient for all; and this can only be done by the adoption of a national currency, which will admi of the due development of the national industry. In pursuance of the intention announced in our impression of yesterday, we shall now endeavour to particularise the more important of those precau tionary measures which it would be advisable for the Legislature to take pending the preparation of a com prehensive Act for the enforcement of a system of sanitary improvement. The diminution of the mortality should be the prin cipal aim of these precautionary measures. The in creased comfort and happiness of the community would be their inevitable concomitants. Now, to en sure the former success, it is absolutely requisite that the Executive should discover, first, the most destruc tive diseases—the diseases which more than any other thin the population—that they should thereupon trace out the causes of their frequency, and see whether or not it is possible to diminish the number of their victims by removing the more deleterious of the agencies by which they are produced. The returns of the Registrar-General will furnish the necessary statistics, the writings of our most popular and intelligent physiologists will indicate the abuses by which the different maladies are originated, and the newly appointed body of Sanitary Commissioners can readily superintend these investigations, and deli. berate upon the course most advisable under the cir cumstances to be adopted. To come to the point :—Among the most destructive and prevalent of the various maladies to whici the human race is subject are consumption and pulmo nary diseases generally. This is proved by the fact that in the September quarters of 184.5, 1846, and 1847, the persons who perished from the former were 1,558, 1,784, and 1,581, in London alone. Of those destroyed by inflammatory affections of the lungs in the same quarters, and in the same district, there were 1,111, 977, and 1,071. Surely these figures are suffi cient to attest the frequency with which death is in flicted through the respiratory organs. Common sense will convince one at the first instant that dis eases are acquired in those organs in the act of in spiration, in the pernicious qualities of the air which is inhaled, and in the constant subjection of the lungs to the influences of that baneful atmo sphere. What we would see done, therefore, by the Legislature for the diminution of the numbers com prised in these tables of the national mortality is rather the removal of the causes of consumption, and of inflammation of the lungs, than the restoration to health of those whose lungs are already affected. We demand rather precautions for the future than assistances for the past. The discovery of remedies for this most subtle of maladies is more appropriately the theme of individual enterprise and philanthropy. It is for physicians like Dr. HASTINGS to discern whether decline can be eradicated by the use of pyro ascetic spirit, or, as it is more commonly called, naphtha ; it is for those who are personally actuated by sentiments of benevolence to see whether those compound agents are best in the treatment of phthisis which are peculiarly rich in carbon and hydrogen. The duties of the Legislature do not interfere in any manner with these investigations—the duties of the Legislature, in as far as the public health is con cerned, being rather preventive than curative, san tary rather than sanatory. 'What we cannot but conceive to be the principal responsibility of the Sanitary Commissioners in re- gard to the eradication of the tendencies to phthisis or consumption, is this—the prevention of the contamination of the atmosphere. This contami nation comes from an extraordinary variety of sources. It comes from indifferent sewerage ; from the imperfect cleansing of streets, courts, and alleys ; from the decay of animal matter consequent upon tallow-boiling, the slaughtering of cattle, knackers'- yards, ill conducted tanneries, &c.; from the delete rious vapours evolved from chemical works, such as those for the preparation of lead, colour, mercury, water-gilding, corrosive sublimate, ammonia, sulphu ric and oxalic acid, as well as from lucifer-match and floorcloth manufactories. It comes from the insuffi ciency of drains, or from their construction in an gular instead of oval channels ; from the exhalations arising from open cesspools ; from the evils result ing from the lack of Cabinets-d'aisance ; from the disgusting and poisonous gases which reek up from the rotten soil of the intermural churchyards, and from the deplorable ventilation of the workshops and tenements of the industrial poor. The causes, indeed, of the contamination of the atmosphere in our larger and more populous cities are so numerous, that to destroy them effectually and immediately is hopeless. Clever as HERCULES was in cleansing the Augean stable, his fame as the divinity of scavengers would be rather perilled were he to undertake the purification of the air of London by the removal of the different abuses by which its natural salubrity is instant st a i t certainpuri fie a t t i i c ; ant sciencem ay a dissipated. Impracticable, however, as such an s phpeasar retaheteentfiyt proved recently sight, away the open cess it to be possible. "Without closing graveyads, without putrescentlit pools, without bodily carrying contents of the metropolitan ting a stop to the operations of the tanneries, ofpthe abattoirs, of the knackers'-yards, or of any other of those establishments which must necessarily accumu late large quantities of animal matter in advanced stages of decomposition—thH air may be at once re- .frlig SUN, LONDON, lieved of its pernicious qualities, and rendered suit able for human respiration. That such was possible has been at different times imagined by Messrs. SHAW, and PRINGLE, and M'BRIDE, and GUYTON, and DUPUYTREN, MORVEAU, and lIANNEMA.NN. In 1831 it was conjectured by M. SALOMON, who then contrived and patented a disinfecting powder called " noir animalist." In 1844 M. SIRET concocted a species of disinfecting paste. About the same period M. SCHATTEMANN, of Bouvilliers, proposed the em ployment of sulphate of iron for a similar purpose. But, one after another, these supposed disinfectants were proved to be wholly inefficacious. Baffled for the time in their researches, the analytical chemists of Europe were by no means discouraged. They knew that the injurious effect produced by feculent matter was attributable to the constant evaporation of sulphuretted hydrogen and ammonia, and they determined by neutralising that evaporation to pre vent the surrounding atmosphere from becoming con taminated. Their researches have been successful; a complete and effectual disinfection is ensured by the liquid compound employed in the experiments of M EDMOND DAM at Brussels, by M. COUTARET at Paris, and by Mr. CHARLES F. ELLERMAN at Liver pool. Those experiments have been principally ef fectual in the disinfection of the feculent matter con tained in the sewers. The cheapness of this inesti mable fluid, its instantaneous efficacy, and the con sequent purification of the air in the neighbour hood of all such localities as are at present the nests of contagion, renders it most advisable that the Sanitary Commissioners should render its employment compulsory. By thus clearing the atmosphere in the more densely-populated dis tricts pulmonary complaints would be diminished in frequency, as would in like manner English cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, typhus fever, and the generality of the zymotic class of diseases. This, be it re membered, would be an expedient for temporary adoption, until such time as the Bill for sanitary ' amelioration could be introduced to the House of Commons. It is one of those expedients which we have already undertaken to enumerate, and which the Government should at once adopt, because it is essentially practicable and efficacious. A letter from Berne of the 28th ult. says— " In presence of the declaration of the Austrian Ambassador, which excludes all direct intervention of Austria in our affairs, and of the analogous decla ration which they had received from the Ambassador of France in the conference of which I spoke to you yesterday, the deputies of the Sonderbund have comprehended that the moment had come to make use of the secret powers with which they were pro vided, and yesterday afternoon they decided to send to M. Ochsenbein two of their members, bearers of propositions which they, without doubt, supposed likely to arrest the preparatives, showing that the ma. jority of the cantons are firmly resolved to decide the present difficulties by force of arms. The following is the text of these propositions : " PROPOSITIONS OF THE STATES OF LUCERNE, URI, SCHWYZ, UNTERWALD, ZUG, FRIDURG, AND VALAIS. "For a whole week the Deputies are all in posses sion of the propositions presented by the state of Zug; the federal representatives, whom the Governments of the seven states have sent back to address their re spective delegates sitting in the Diet, have been three days returned. When the proposition of Zug was brought forward for discussion in the sitting of Oct. 21, the deputies of the seven states declared themselves disposed to) enter into negotiations on its bases, if they met with the same dispositions on the other side; but they waited in vain during the interval to see a de liberation entered on with a view to arrive at a pa cific solution. From the sentiment of duty imposed on them not to neglect any course that can lead to a pacific solution, they reproduce the proposition of the Zug is the following terms :—' The high Diet gives to the seven states which have formed amongst them selves a defensive association, the solemn assurance that their political and confessional rights shall for the future remain intact; in consequence, the affair of the Jesuits shall be withdrawn from the subjects of deliberation before the Diet; it recognises and en gages to maintain the rights guaranteed to religious institutions by Art. XII. of the federal compact; it promises to admit and respect the sovereignty and the equality of the right of representation of the seven states, according to the sense and the letter of the federal compact of 1815. If a majority of the federal states shall agree in giving these assurances, and shall subscribe to these acts, the seven states named above will at once and with joy dissolve the defensive association which they have formed for the main tenance of their confessional and political rights.' (here follow the signatures of the Deputies of the seven states of the Sonderbund.) " After having handed in this document to M. Och senbein, the two delegates of th e L eague d eman d e d from the President to have the Diet assembled the next day to discuss the propositions of which they were the bearers. M. Ochsenbein replied to them that he acceded to their application relative to the meeting of the Diet, but that he considered it his duty not to allow them to be ignorant that proposi tions founded to a certain extent on those of the deputy of Zag had scarcely more chances of success of being admitted. After this proceeding the depu ties of Bale-town, who, without any mission, play the part of mediators, persuaded those o f St. G a ll and Schaffhausen to take part in their attempts at re conciliation between the parties. An interview was, in consequence, arranged between these gentlemen and the representatives of the League ; it gave rise to propositions professing to be new, which Bale-town took under their patronage, their chance auxilaries not caring much about sharing the responsibility of the act, but as it was important to know whether these propositions would have the sanction of any majority whatever, before producing them before the Diet, the deputies of the Son derbund wrote to the President to request him to countermand the sitting of to-day. The deputies of the majority, informed of all these pro ceedings, held a conference to ascertain to what point they could enter on the overtures announced to them. Nearly the whole of the members present insisted on the necessity of adhering only to such arrangements as might satisfy the populations, and as the proposi tions put forward by Bale-town are very far from fulfilling this condition, since they scarcely go farther than those of Zug, they have been declared inadmis sible. However, in order that the majority of the states might not be accused of rejecting any means which might tend to a pacific solution of the present crisis, it delegated at noon M. Furrer, of Zurich ; Munsinger, of Soleure ; Nofr, of St. Gall ; and Kern, of Thur g au, to meet the d e l ega t es o f th e League, who had manifested the intention of dis cussing in a conference with the twelve the proposi tions of Bale-town. This conference, at which the majority of the Diet is to be represented by the four delegates named above, will take place this evening, but I am perfectly convinced that it will not be attended with a more fortunate result than the motion of Zug." Military preparations are going on in all the cantons, and General DUFOUR had published his address on taking command of , the Federal army. The Diet has issued a decree summoning to arms 50,000 men, and organizing them into six divisions. The canton of Friburg will be the first attacked. Letters from Rome of the 23d ultimo state that the arrest of the Prince DE CANINO had been taken off on the 22d. The journals of Rome state that GIOVANNI ANDREA ROMEO, one of the Calabrian chiefs, had surrendered himself, been tried and condemned to death, but that his sentence was commuted. A letter from Turin, of the 28th ult., says— " The disturbance continued some days, but last night order was restored; several persons have been arrested here and at Moncalieri. It is to be hoped that they will be set at liberty, for their offence only consists in crying out 'Pius IX. for ever!' Italy for ever !"The King has been indisposed, but is en tirely recovered; he is to set out for Genoa in the beginning of November." A letter from Turin of the 26th ultimo informs us that the Sardinian Government has submitted to the Council of State projects of law against riotous assemblages of the people, for the establishment of a Supreme Court of Cassation, for a revision and a liberal construction of the tariff of Customs' duties, and for a postal reform, including a delivery of letters on Sundays. The Prince DE JOINVILLE landed at Leghorn on the 24th, and immediately proceeded to Florence. Previous to his departure he sent off some pressing dispatches to Naples. Accounts from Athens state that General GRIvAs is still at Janina, where he is treated with the utmost attention by the Turkish authorities. HAFIZ PASHA proposed to him to accept a high rank in the Turkish army, which however GRIVAS refused. GRIVAS will probably soon show himself again in Greece. Madrid journals of the 27th ult. have arrived. Senor SALAMANCA has addressed the following letter to the Ileraldo, on the subject of the conver sion of the Royal _Household bills into Three . per Cents. : _ knolln t y precedents i n th e way of interest, which are o the whole country, my conduct As a Mini. WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1847. ster, which, despite the passionate opposition of some persons, slander has been unable to sully, and the testimony of my conscience, have made me behold with coolness, hoping that I should have the opportu nity of answering them in the Cortes, the attacks directed against the operation of the conversion of the Royal Household Bills, a conversion which, besides being just and legal, was unavoidable, seeing the con dition in which her Majesty's treasury was, according to the statements of the Intendiente of the royal pa trimony for money. Nevertheless, the perseverance with which the Espanol endeavours to deceive public opinion, by representing, with allusions not to be mistaken, facts completely false, which I repel as calumnies of my personal enemies—this persecution, I say, obliges me to address myself to you, gentle men, in order to inform the public that I am about to address myself to the tribunals, of whom I shall no doubt obtain the redress due to me." Senor PEDRO DE EGANA Will, it is said, be reap pointed Intendiente of the Household, a post which he held under the Sotomayor Administration. MADRID 13OLSA, OCT. 27.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26 3-16 for cash, and 26 11-16 at fifty days ; the Five per Cents. at 16/ for paper; the Debt without Interest at 51-; and the Coupons at 12k. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. M. GulzoT seems desperate!y annoyed at the check which his retrograde policy has received in Italy, where, in consequence of his alliance with Austria, the influence of France is at this moment more com pletely annihilated than it has been since the days of FRANCIS I. The worthy French Minister gives vent to his spleen in the Journal des Debals, in what he calls a reply to the gross insults of the Italian journals. The article concludes in these words : "If it were necessary to refute all the diplomatic notes forged in Italy we should not be able, and for our own part we have no intention to disturb the satisfaction of the profound public writers who know so well how to penetrate the secrets of European di plomacy. 'We should have preferred to see the Ita lian Liberals apply themselves to facts and to a true appreciation of the situation of affairs, and not to in dulge in illusions as to the resources at their com mand. For that reason we thought it our duty to address to them some moderate advice. Our advice which we offered for the good of Italy has been re jected. The moderate men who are of our opinion are reduced to silence, and it has become the fashion in Central Italy to howl against the Journal des Debals and the French Government. As for our part, our convictions would be feeble indeed if such miserable clamours could change them. We are equally aware insults, but the Fre nc h G overnmen t d esp i ses suc h but we are of opinion that in the face of manifesta tions so often repeated it owes it to itself to demon strate that, if in the true interest of Italy it has not sought popularity beyond the Alps, it is not disposed to show any anxiety with respect to men who are systematically hostile to it. Weakness has ever en joyed gre a t p r i v il eges , b u t th ose privileges have limits which must not be transgressed. It must be confessed that M. GUIZOT has some cause for his ill-humour ; clever diplomatist as he is, he has suffered himself to be out-manoeuvred by two Powers whom he has hitherto treated with insolent contempt, and has received a check which will damage him much in the ',opinion of the Chambers and of the country. It has always been a hobby with the French nation to be considered as the protector par excellence of the Christians of Syria, and as this self assumed office gave the French Foreign Minister an opportunity of badgering the Porte, and constantly meddling in the internal affairs of Turkey, the office has always been considered as one of high honour for French people. Disgusted with the unauthorised meddling by M. GUIZOT in Eastern affairs, and with his avowed support of COLETTI and the war party in Greece, the SULTAN dispatched CIiEKln EFFENDI to Rome, and a treaty has been concluded between the SULTAN and the POPE by which the Christians of Syria are henceforth taken under the protection of the POPE, who is to appoint a representative to reside among them. This is a serious wound to M. GUIZOT'S vanity, and a " heavy blow and great discourage ment" to the underhand designs on Turkey of the KING of the Faexcii, and therefore some allowance must be made for the spleen with which both master end man must necessarily regard the Pora at this moment. The Presse gives the following account of this transaction : " The following information has reached us rela tive to the object of Chekib Effendi's mission to Rome. The Sultan has sent him to the Pope to express his desire that the protection of the Christians of the Libanus should take place in a direct manner, by the intervention of are presentative of the Holy See. The Pope, moved by this overture, has just re-established the office of Patriarch of Jerusalem, and raised to that dignity a simple missionary priest. This nomi nation causes great surprise in the Cabinet of our Minister of Foreign Affairs. What is about to pass ? Will the Pope complete his relations with the Sultan by accrediting a Nuncio to Constantinople ? If he is satisfied with a Patriarch at Jerusalem, who is to be charged to follow and support the representations of the Patriarch with the Turkish Government ?" The following are the latest accounts from Switzer land contained in the Ministerial journals : The Debats says—" We rec e i ve d l ast even i ng by extraordinary express intelligen ce w hi c h conf i rms too well our sad expectations. We would yet doubt of its exactitude, and we must w arn our readers that we do not guarantee it to be perf ec tl y certa i n, although we have reason to believe it so.

This morning, (THIS DAY.) about fire o'clock, there was a sudden outbreak of fire upon the extensive premises belonging to Messrs. B a d ger and Co., wholesa l e con f ect i oners, 15 and 16, nishopsg a te- s treet Without. So strong a hold had th e fl ames obtained before their ex i stence was known to the p o li ce, that in less than five minutes after the alarm was so un d e d, fi re i n i mme nse sheets sh o t hi g h into the a i r . Th e eng i nes o f t h e par i s h, L on d on Esta blishments, with those of the West of England and County companies, arrived in a short period, and a powerful body of water was scattered over the flames. The firemen were unable to get the fire extinguished until the upper and first floors on the south wing of the premises were burned out, and the valuable stock therein destroyed. The damage will reach to several hundred pounds. Fortunately the other portions of the premises received no damage unless by water. About one hour previous the premises in the occupa tion of Messrs. C. and J. Reid, tailors, No. 21, Saville place, Lambeth, were discovered to be on fire. The police gave an instant alarm, and the engines of the brigade and West of Engl Ind promptly attended. The fire was soon got out, but not until the flooring, parti tions, fixtures, and stock in trade were damaged. The stock was insured in the London Fire-office. TURKEY AND GREECE. — Advices from the Turkish frontier, to the 18th of October, announce that the French Consul at Bucharest had complied with the re quest of the Greek agent, and conceded provisionally the protection of the French flag to Greek commerce and Greek subjects ; but, before giving this act an offi cial character, awaited instructions from his Government. The Russian Consul-General expressed his approval of the step taken by the French Consul. The Porte seems willing to relax in the coercive measures it has taken, so as to give time to the new Greek Ministry to effect a reconciliation. The Government of St. Petersburgli is said to have strongly recommended the Greek Govern ment to come to an amicable arrangement with the Porte as speedily ao possible, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton yesterday at Liverpool were only 1,000 to 1,200 bales, the market being very dull. American was sold chiefly. Railway shares were flat. Although different writers will take contrary views, and we differ from those of Messrs. Ferguson and Taylor, as far as causes are concerned, we believe that their report of the state of the markets is interesting, and we know that it is accurate. They state— "As may be inferred from what we have already said, prices of all descriptions of manufactures have been un settled and declining under the pressure of a comparative cessation of demand and monetary difficulties ; eP. L. Printers have been in only very limited request, and prices, in a great measure, are nominal. Some clearances to raise the needful prompt, have been sold at unquotable, rates, lower than taken in 1841, and on which doubtless a considerable sacrifice was made, as the web was woven from high-priced cotton before the late decline. The turn out' against an attempted reduction of wages by,the operatives of Ashton-under-Lyne, if persevered in, may sustain the value of these fabrics somewhat, which result, doubtless, will not be objectionable to the manufacturers of that district ; but we would rather have seen the suspension of production, and its consequences, accomplished by a combined movement more likely to preserve an ami cable feeling between the employers and the employed, than by the present struggle to uphold the value of labour. Stocks at present are sufficiently abundant, and prices have a drooping tendency ; nine-eighths maddapolams and skirtings are neglected, more es pecially the former. Prices of the latter have declined about 41d. to 6d. per piece. Forty-inch G. E. India longcloths have declined to the lowest rates at which they were ever offered in this market, and the sales that have been effected this month have been at prices most ruinous to the producers ; some parcels have changed hands at prices unexampled at any previous period of the severest pressure. Stocks are yet abun dant, notwithstanding the great curtailment which has taken place in production. G. E. cambrics and jac conets have been only of limited inquiry, and prices are drooping; stocks, however, are not very heavy. Do mestics, which suffered so severely from the advance in cotton, never obtained a proportionate advance to the rise of the staple, and consequently the production was greatly reduced; stocks, however, have continued to accumulate, and although by no means superabundant, yet the value of these goods has declined within the last week or ten days, owing partly to the fall in the value of the raw staple, and partly to the general exigencies of the times. If business shortly revives these staples will be amongst the first to advance in value. Velvets and velveteens are much de pressed, and prices are receding." There are no further failures, but the Bank is said to have further applications for assistance to some extent now before it. The following report from the Bristol market may be interesting " Importers of raw sugar having mostly withdrawn their samples from the market, and the supply on show being consequently very indifferent and limited, the transactions of the month scarcely reach 1,000 hhds. West India and 5,000 mats Mauritius, purchases, how. ever, both in Liverpool and London, particularly of sugars suitable for the pans, are still being made on a large seale, and this must continue to be the case until our importers bring forward their stocks, which, at present, we see no prospect of their doing. No sales of consequence are reported in Bengals; and, indeed, for grocery sugars of all descriptions the demand is exceed ingly limited, which arises, we believe, in a great mea sure from the daily increasing; consumption of manu factured crushed sugar." The English Securities have been fluctuating. Con sols have been 814 to 824 for Money, and 818 to 82.1. for Account. Money ; from day to day; has been ra ther easier. Exchequer-bills have realised 16s. to 19s. discount, and India Bonds 355. discount. Bank Stock is worth 1851, and India Stock 229. The New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 814 to 82k. The Foreign Stocks are merely nominal. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 88 ex-dividend ; Mexican, 154 to 161; and Spanish Three per Cents., 26i to 27. For Railway Shares the quotations are much the same as yesterday. 131{1TISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 185 1 ,4 _ _ 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY. Coastwise, and by land carriage, the arrivals of English Wheat, this week, have been on a fair average scale. To-day the show of samples was small. Selected qualities of both red and white, were in steady request , at fully Monday's quotations. In all other kinds the business transacted was trifling, at late rates. The supply of foreign Wheat on offer was not very exten sive. On the whole the trade was slow, but we can notice no alteration in value. The best parce ls of Eng lish Barley sold at l u ll p r i ces ; b ut the middling and in ferior kinds might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The Malt trade was exceeding,ly inact i e ve j at barely late curr enc i es . O ats were selling at '" prices ; but all other articles commanded very little at tention. ARRIVALS.
