At a Meeting of the Directors of the Unity Fire Insurance Association, held at th.• Chief Offices, 40, Pall Mall, on Friday, the 7th instant, it was resolved unanimously that the following Proposition be recommended to the Proprietors : I. That the Capital of the Unity Fire Insurance Associa tion be increased to the amount of £2,000,0 0, by Capitiil of the Cotripny of -i2 each, 'and creating and issuing 2,D00,000 New Shares of .el. each. 11. That One Million of such new Shares of .el each be issued to the existing Shareholders of the Company, at or on the price or deposit of 2s. 6d. per Share, and be apportioned among them, so that each existing Share holder shall be allotted and receive two of such New Shares of each, in lieu of, and exchange for, every existing or original Share of .e 2 each held by him or 111. That the moneys paid by the Company by the several holders of the existing or original 500,000 Shares of 42 each in respect of the deposit of ss. per Share paid or payable upon such shares, shall be taken into account and allowed to them respectively in full payment and discharge of the price or deposit of 2s. 6d. per Share to be paid in respect of the One Million New Shares of 41 each, to be created and issued to them as aforeiaid. IV. That the remaining One Million New Shares of 41 each be issued at the price of ss. per Share, to be paid by the Allottees, of, or Subscribers for, the same respec tively, on their respectively executing the Company's Deed of Settlement. In accordance with the above Resolution, Notice is hereby Given, that an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Pro prietors of this Association will be holden at the Chief Offices, 40, Pall Mall, London, on Tuesday, the Bth day of November, 1853, at Eleven for Twelve o'clock at Noon precisely, for the purpose of considering the same. By order ofthe Board, THOMAS H. BAYLIS, General Manager and Secretary NITY FIRE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION —Capital 4'1,000,000 sterling, the whole fully subscribed for by upwards of five thousand shareholders, whose names and addresses were published in the Times and other morning papers, on Saturday, 24th September, 1853. The success that has attended this association, from its formation, is unprece dented. It is supported by the most powerful and numerous constituency existing—a fact that, of itself, must render its solid advancement a certainty, while the principles on which it is established are such as to command the support of the public generally. With respect to rates, it is not intended to underbid other offices, or to diminish the full margin of profits, without which neither the assured nor the assurers would be safe ; but to return the profits, not to a few capi talists who might be the exclusive holders of the property of this association, but to those numerous and known parties from whom the profits have been actually derived ; not to bestow occasional bonuses at will, whether large or small, but to repay as a debt to the insurers two-thirds of all sur plus, and one-third to the shareholders. The manner in which this mutual advantage meets with the support of the public may be best explained by the fact that, in the past two weeks ending 4th October, 1853, 792 insurances have been received for property to the extent of -*'582,145, being at the rate of issuing nineteen thousand policies insuring nearly fourteen millions sterling per annum, while the total number of new insurances completed in the past twelvemonths is 5392, insuring property to the amount of £3,082,145.

The Hair Restored, Baldness and Greyness Prevented, By BEETHAM'S CAPILLARY FLUID.—The truly wonder ful efficacy of this unique preparation is the theme of admira tion wherever introduced. It effectually prevents the hair falling off or turning grey, promotes its growth on places that have been bald for years, strengthens weak and fine hair, and gradually restores its natural colour, without the use of dye.

Rase and Comfort in Walking. BEETHAM'S CORN AND BUNION PLASTER.--Thia most important discovery causes the greatest delight and astonishment wherever it is introduced. Its effect, to use the words of numerous correspondents, is truly miraculous; the most inveterate Corns, Bunions, and those unsightly and painful enlargements of the GREAT TOE JOINTS, which disfi gure the beautiful symmetry of the foot, have been imme diately relieved from all pain and uneasiness, and in a short time entirely dispersed after twenty years' suffering.

FRANCE. — The town of Compiegne is rendered exceed ingly gay by the presence of the Imperial pair. The guests at the palace are very numerous. Upwards of sixty apartments are occupied by them. A grand battue in the forest, a stag hunt, and a racket match in the court attached to the palace, were the amusements of three successive days. The dramatic mompany of the Gymnase have been playing before the Imperial party, in a temporary theatre erected in one of the salons. Lord Cowley left Paris on Sunday to join the Imperial party _ at Compiegne disposition. Lady Cowley remaining in consequence of in- The Princess Mathilde had also gone to Coinpiegne. Cardinal Wiseman is now staying in Paris. A rumour was current early in the week, and has not been contradicted, that another plot had been discovered, and 140 arrests made on Sunday night. The truth ap pears to be that extensive political arrests were made, but that the number stated is an exaggeration. Accounts have been received of the arrival at Jerusalem of the first caravan of French Pilgrims, Qn the 12th ult. As soon as they perceived the city they alighted from their horses, trated Iv' ' , ul prayed prostra. ~iiemselves, and prayed fervently. aey were all clothed in white, and, as they entered the city by the gate at Jaffa, musket shots were fired in their honour. It is said that a French frigate is expected at Jaffa to pro- tect the pilgrims. The Moniteur of Thursday contains a statement of the Minister of Marine, from which it would appear that the State maintains at this moment 161 sea going vessels, manned by 33,600 sailors. There are two squadrons of fourteen men-of-war, without reckoning frigates and corvettes. There are five screw steam ers ready, and nine will be finished by the end of the year. There are six more on the stocks. It is stated at the Prussian Embassy in Paris, that the king has expressed to the Courts of France and England his disapprobation of any measure tending to disturb the equilibrium of Europe. Failing in his endeavour to conci liate, he will remain neutral. The trial of 32 persons con cerned in the " conspiracy of the Opera Comique " has been postponed to the 7th of next month before the Court of Assizes of Paris. Twenty-seven of the accused are in custody. The indictment charges them with conspiring to assassinate the Emperor, and to destroy the form of Government. SPAIN. — The Duchess of Montpensier is suffering from indisposition. One account states her malady to be scar latina. Another says it is measles. The Queen of Spain, in commemoration of her birth day, the 10th instant, has ordered three screw-frigates, each carrying thirty-one guns, to be constructed ; and to be called the Berenguela, Petrolina, and Blanca, in memory of the three queens from whom her Majesty derives the crowns of Castille, Arragon, and Narvare. _ . ITlLi.—Disturbances have broken out at Turin, in consequence of the dearness of bread. They were speedily suppressed, and a telegraphic despatch on Thurs day announced that there was not the least further dan ger to public tranquillity. The late extraordinary rains have made great havoc in several parts of Italy. A dili gence travelling from Nice was overwhelmed in a moun tain torrent, and two Swiss ladies, with a child, were drowned. AusTalA.—The Viennese papers continue to hold a pacific tone ; and the most faithful to the Imperial Court argue the most strongly from the recently decreed reduc tions in the army, that the intentions of Austria are peaceful. In the meantime we are informed that no ar rangements are on foot for carrying into execution the Imperial decree ; but that, on the contrary, the generals commanding in Lombardy, Hungary, and Grotia have all demanded reinforcements, on account of the popu lar feeling of discontent and disaffection in those countries. RUSSlA.—Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 10th, an nounce that the Emperor Nicholas has just adopted some very important warlike measures. It is well known that the military forces of Russia comprise two principal divi sions—the army destined for grand operations in Europe, and the troops having a local destination. It is positively stated that the former of these two armies, called the army of Europe, which is now quartered in the western part of the empire, and the principal corps of which occupy Russian-Poland, and to which the other corps form the reserve, is called into active service. The Emperor of Russia arrived at St. Petersburg on the 13th from Berlin. Despatches from St. Petersburg state that the prepara tions for war are being proceeded with rapidly. The fleet in the harbour of Cronstadt, which had laid up for the winter, is ordered to prepare for sea with all possible de spatch, and to proceed at once to Revel. TURKEY. — lntelligence from Constantinople to the 6th instant states that, on the day following, the Sultan's manifesto was to be read in all the mosques. It was ex pected that hostilities would commence on the 25th. The son of Redschid Pasha, who left for Schumla on the 4th, has, besides the summons to Prince Gortschakoff, de spatches instructing Omer Pacha what steps to take in case the Russians refuse to evacuate the Principalities. Similar instructions have been sent to the commander of the army in Asia. The determination of the government was received by the whole Turkish nation with enthu siasm. The army is eager for war and well disciplined. There are 130,000 regulars in Europe, and 70,000 in Asia. Fortifications are being carried on on a large scale, espe cially at Schumla. The Turkish government has been obliged to commence the issue of paper money. From Galatz we have news to the 7th instant. Omer Pacha has declared that he will leave the Danube free to neutral vessels until the 25th of this month. All the German officers who have been imparting military instructions to the Turks are re-called. The military cordon on the northern frontier will not be augmented. Accounts have been received from Constantinople, via Trieste, dated the 10th, stating that the Sultan had made a formal demand to the Ambassadors of England and France to summon the allied fleets to the Bosphorus. The ambassadors had accordingly done so. The latest accounts from Bucharest represent the plight of the Rus sian army as most pitiable. On the other hand, the Turks are healthy and in good condition. The army of Omer Pacha, who has with him 40,000 regulars in a most efficient state of discipline, and 35,000 of the redifs, is animated by the strongest national feelings, but not with religious fanaticism ; and the stories of outrages com mitted by the Turkish soldiery on the Christian popula tion are utterly untrue, being Russian fabrications. In the reply of Prince Gortschakoff to Omer Pacha, he is thus reported to have delivered himself :—" My master is not at war with Turkey, but I have orders not to leave the Principalities 'until the Porte shall have given to the Emperor the moral satisfaction he demands. When this point shall have been obtained, I will evacuate the Prin cipalities immediately, whatever the time or the season. If I am attacked by the Turkish army, I will confine my self to the defensive." Letters from Constantinople in timate that a collision between the Turks and Russians in Asia is likely to take place before any engagements on a larger scale on the Danube. The monk Anthinos has been appointed to the Greek Patriarchate, at Constanti nople, in room of Germans. We hear from the Danube that Omer Pacha has organized a regiment of Ponton niers, who were making rapid progress every day. He has nearly completed all the materiel for throwing a bridge acros the river, but it is not expected that he will make any movement until next spring. Prince Gorts chakoff, it is said, has ordered 3,000 huts to be erected on the left bank of the Danube, and the Wallachian Govern ment has to pay 30,000 ducats for their construction. A telegraphic despatch from Vienna says According to advices from Constantinople, of the 15th inst., hostilities were positively expected to commence in about ten days from that date. The Sultan having applied for the pre sence of the combined fleets before Constantinople, and Lord Stratford and M. de la Cour having assented to his request, the fleets were momentarily expected. GIBRALTAB.—By the steam-ship Ripon, arrived at Southampton, we have accounts from Gibraltar to the 15th instant. The British schooner Thrifty put in there with damaged bowsprit on the Bth instant. The steamer Euxine, six days from Southampton, with the outward India mail of the 4th instant, arrived there on the 10th, en route .to Malta and Gibraltar. The screw steamer Balbec, 14 days from Kertch, 10 from Constantinople, and five from, Malta, touched at Gibraltar on the 12th instant, on her way to Liverpool. The screw steamer Calpe, six days from Liverpool, arrived on the 12th, and cleared for Genoa and Leghorn. The screw steamer Genova, four days from Marseilles, also arrived, on the 13th instant, bound to Liverpool. The steamer Sultan, with the out ward bound Peninsula mails of the 7th instant, from Southampton, arrived on the 14th instant, and, having been placed in quarantine, was to leave on the 15th, at midnight, for Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, Vigo, and Southamp ton. The screw steamer Frankfort, from Leghorn and Palermo, arrived on the 13th instant, and proceeded to Liverpool. Her Majesty's steam-sloop iresuvius was in the Bay. The steamer Elbe arrived'on the 15th from Lisbon and Cadiz, and left the same evening for Malaga and Marseilles. The French war steamer Petrel was lying at Gibraltar, ,having come over from Algeciras, on the 15th. The American ship Julia Howard, for Phila delphia, and the French ship Le Flandre, for Sydney, sailed on the 15th. THE PENINSULA.—By the steam-ship Sultan; arrived. at Southampton on Sunday, we have dates from Gibral tar the 16th; Cadiz, the 17th, Lisbon, the 19th; and Vigo, the 20th instant. This steamer was detained in quarantine three days at Gibraltar, and, after obtaining a clean bill of health, was admitted to free pratique at Lis bon, but on arrival at Vigo (homeward) a quarantine of three days was imposed. The greatest annoyance is given to these steamers at the Spanish ports, where the so-called sanitary arrangements cause great pecuniary benefits to the authorities, arising from the gross impositions which are practised. H.M. steam-frigate Odin, Captain Scott, was the only foreign vessel of war in the Tagus. The ship Warrior left Lisbon under sail, on the 15th, for Liverpool, being declared unfit to proceed to Australia. The Mary, Captain Millard, from Liverpool for California, put into Lisbon for repairs on the 16th. On the 18th the Rattler steamer arrived from Liverpool, having been off Oporto-bar, whence she was ordered to Lisbon, in consequence of the bill of health of the Portuguese Consul, stating the exist encee g German emigrants at an hospital, th Liverpool being otherwise free. It portof cahnodletraowanmoofn was expected that the Rattler would be admitted to pratique, and return to Oporto in a couple of days, when she would have completed eight days from Liverpool, voyage and quarantine observation included. The Water witch, belonging to the same line as the Rattler, had pre viously been very badly treated at Oporto, and the English Minister at Lisbon had supported the agent's claim for losses consequent upon her having been illegally sent to Lisbon, whence-she was only able to return to Oporto on the 15th. The Times' correspondent was assured, when the Sultan left Lisbon, that Liverpool steamers and their pas sengers would,with bias, of health similar to the Rattler's, be placed on the same footing (eight days' voyage and obser vation) as the Peninsular steamers from Southampton. Lisbon exchanges at • three months : London, 54k, with few transactions, in consequence of the scarcity of money and bills, short dates being preferred since the increased rate of interest in England. On the continent paper was scarce, and the quotations 532 on Paris; Amsterdam, 43; Hamburg, 48t, and Genoa, 530. Triie tain Bowen, reached Portsmouth on Sunday, having been unable to make Plymouth on account of the heavy S.W. gales and thick weather, being under sail alone, and an accident having happened to her air pumps when abreast of Gibraltar, on the 13th instant. Lieutenant Peirs, the Admiralty agent in charge of the mails, died on the pas sage home. Rear-Admiral Bruce, in his flag-ship, the Penelope, was on the southern part of the station on the 3rd of September. The Polyphemus, 6, steamsloop, was off Lagos.

LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS. The most wonderful CURES of ASTHMA and CONSUMPTION, COUGHS, COLDS, and all Disorders of the BREATH and LUNGS, are performed by this extraordinary remedy. ANOTHER CURE OF ;CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.—Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liver pool.—Gentleznen,—l have great pleasure in communicating to you a case (among many) which came under my own observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her assiduous attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness, caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough, and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her medical man, but did not obtain any relief; when, upon the recommendation of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers, which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by continuing them she is perfectly cured. THOMAS DEAN. ANOTHER CURE OF COUGH AND HOARSENESS.—Parlia ment-street, Liverpool.—Sir,—lt is with much pleasure I bear testimony to the extraordinary power of Locock's Wafers. I had been troubled with a cough and hoarseness for nearly two years, without relief, when I was induced to try Locock's Wafers, the effects of which were soon visible, for one large box (2s. 9d.) has quite cured me. I have s i n ce recom mended them to several of my friends, and they have experienced the greatest relief from them.—Yours, gratefully, J. WILLIAMS. IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING.FYO27I S.

Lichfield.—Gentlemen, —A lady of distinction, having p o int ed out to me the qualities of Dr. Locock's Wafers, I was induced to make a trial of a box, and from this trial I am happy to give my testimonial in their favour. I find by allowing a few of the Wafers (taken in the course of the day) to gradually dissolve in the mouth, my voice becomes bright and clear, and the tone full and distinct. They are decidedly the most efficacious of any I have ever used. S. PEARSALL.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT I A CRIPPLE SET ASIDE HIS CRUTCHES AFTER TEN YEARS' SUFFERING.—Copy of a Letter from Mr. Thompson, Chemist, Liverpool, dated Aug. 20, 1852.—T0 Professor HOLLOWAY, — Dear Sir,—l am enabled to furnish you with a most extraor dinary cure effected by your invaluable Ointment and Pills, which has astonished every person acquainted with the suf ferer. About ten years ago, Mr. W. Cnmmins, of Saltney street, in this town, was thrown from his horse, whereby lie received very serious injuries; he bad the best medical ad vice at the time, and was afterwards an inmate of different infirmaries, yet he grew worse. and at length a malignant running ulcer settled in his hip, which so completely crip pled him, that he could not move without crutches for nearly ten years; recently he began to use your Ointment and Pills, which have now healed the wound, strengthened his limb, and enabled him to dispense with his crutches, so that he can walk with the greatest ease, and with renewed health and vigour. —J. THOMPSON. A MOST EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF A DREADFUL SKIN DISEASE WHEN ALL MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED.—Copy Of a Letter from Mr. Hird, Draper, of Keardy, near Gainstro , dated March 1, 1852.—T0 Professor HOLLOWAY,—Sir,—Some time since, one of my children was afflicted with dreadful erup tions over the body and limbs. 1 obtained the advice of several eminent surgeons and physicians, by all of whom the case was considered hopeless. At length I tried your Oint ment and Pills, and without exaggeration, the effect was mi raculous, for by persevering in their use, all the eruptions quickly disappeared, and the child wis restored to perfect health. I previously lost a child from a similar complaint, and I believe, had I in her case adopted your medicines, she would have been saved also. I shall be happy to testify the truth of this to any inquirer.—J. H IRD. CERTAIN REMEDY FOR SCORBUTIC HUMOURS—AND AN ASTONISHING CURE OF AN OLD LE.DY, SEVENTY YEARS OF AGE, OF A BAD LEG.—Copy of a Letter from Messrs. Walker and Co., Chemists, Bath.—To Professor HOLLOWAY,—Dear Sir,—Among the numerous cures effected by the use of your valuable medicines in this neighbourhood, we may mention that of an old lady living in the village of Preston, about five miles from this city. She had ulcerated wounds in her leg for many years, and latterly they increased to such an alarming extent as to defy all the usual remedies ,• her health rapidly giving way under the suffering she endured. In this dis tressing condition she had recourse to your Ointment and Pills, and by the assistance of her friends, was enabled to persevere in their use, until she received a perfect cure. We have ourselves been greatly astonished at the effect upon so old a person, she being above 70 years of age. We shall be happy to satisfy any inquries as to tha authenticity of this really wonderful case, either personally or by letter.—A pri vate in the Bath Police Force, also, bas been perfectly cured of an old scorbutic affection in the face, after all other means had failed. He states that it is entirely by the use of your Ointment, and speaks loudly in its praise. —We remain, dear sir,.yours faithfully, (Signed) WALKER and Co. The Pills should be used conjointly with tiebiaiUeni;in most of the following cases : Bad Legs Corns (Soft) Scalds —_ . _ __. _ Bad Breasts Burns Cancers [Joints Sore Nipples Contracted and Stiff Sore Throats Bunions Elephantiasis Skin Diseases ii - 1 Bit e o Moscbetoes Fistulas Scurvy and Sand Flies Gout Sore Heads Coco Bay Glandular Swellings Tumours Chiego foot Lumbago Ulcers Chilblains Wounds Chapped Hands Rheumatism Yaws Sold at the Establishment of Professor HOLLOWAY, 224, Strand, (near Temple Bar,) London, and by all respectable Druggists and Dealers in Medicines throughout the Civilized World, in Pots, at is.

PAINS IN THE BACK, GRAVEL, LUMBAGO, RHEUMATISM, GOUT, HEADACHE, NERVOUSNESS, DEBILITY, &c.—DR.DEROOS' COMPOUND RENAL PILLS (as their name Renal, or the Kidneys, indicates) have been long . established as a most safe and efficacious remedy for the above dangerous complaints, Dischargei of any kind, and Diseases of the Kid neys, &c., which, if neglected, frequently end in a lingering painful death. For Depression of Spirits, Excitement, Dis like of Society, Incapacity for Study or Business, Loss of Memory, Confusion, Giddiness, Blood to the Head, Drowsi ness, Sleep without refreshment, Nervousness, and even In sanity itself, they are unequalled. Possessing tonic proper ties, they agree with the most delicate stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, increase the appetite, and improve the general health. They require neither confinement nor change of diet, and, as experience has amply proved, they will effect a cure when mercury and all other dangerous medicines have failed. One Trial will convince the most sceptical of their surprising properties. Mr. Letellier, Etruria, Potteries.—" Your Renal Pills have done wonders with me and others to whom I have recom. mended them." H. C., Post-office, Stafford.—" Your Renal Pills are a most splendid medicine," _ _ _ et thejt l e u o rP f h th Y e T. Webster, Esq., Sealf or d, M e lt on M ow b r ay.—" Your valu able 0 ,b e fore , Upper t S h t e e y r ar i - e s r t e r e a e l i t y , aD surprising i n " — n m e Renal Pills have done good to every one I gave them to." Mr. Thos. Williams, at Mr. Hutchings, baker, King-street, Chelsea.—" I was persuaded to try your most beautiful Pills, and am happy to inform you I have received more benefit from them than from any of the medical men in London." W. Chartres, Esq., Newport, Mayo.—" I have a degree of mental energy and vigour such as I did not feel these two years. My memory is wonderfully improved, so that I can ecollect all the events of each day with the greatest degree of clearness. It is astonishing how I got out of such awful suf ferings, but I think I owe it altogether to the use of your Pills." PERSONS GOING ABROAD, CAPTAINS and OTHERS, cannot store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquil lizing the Nervous System, will prevent those fatal diseases so prevalent abroad, as also Sea Sickness and other complaints incidental to long voyages and irregular living. No Emi grant's Chest can be properly furnished without them, for when far removed from medical aid, they will find in these Pills a never-failing restorative. IMPORTANT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE Roos' PILLS, have attempted to foist upon the public other Medicines or trash of their own compounding, from which they obtain a larger profit. The GENUINE have the words, " WALTER DE ROOS, LONDON," in white letters on a red ground, printed in the Stamp affixed to each box ; by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Commis sioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is felony. May be obtrii - ned through all Medicine Vendors, at ls. lid., 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., Ils., and 335. per Box, with full directions for use; or by enclosing Post-office Order or Stamps to Dr. DE ROOS, 35, ELY-PLACE, HOLBORN-HILL, LONDON, they will be sent per return.

The Triennial Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church was holding its meetings iu New York. The most interesting portion of the proceedings was a debate which arose on a proposition of the Rev. Dr. Mason, of Indiana, to the effect that the delegates re-express their good feeling and sympathy for the delegation of divines from the Church of England, and their desire for a more in timate interchange of opinion with the Established Church of this country. The resolutions were adopted. Miscellaneous accounts mention that the Woman's Con vention at Cleveland was a scene of great disorder, and ended in a Mr. Nevins pulling the nose of Mr. Garrison, which the latter did not resent. Father Gavazzi was lecturing at Buffalo. At Providence a very destructive fire had occurred. Rumours were current of heavy forgeries on some extensive commercial houses in Boston, but it was said the forged paper had all been met and the matter hushed up. Business at New Orleans had commenced to be brisk. The whole number of interments for nineteen weeks was 10,960, of which 8,143 were fever cases. Letters mention the continued prevalence of yellow fever in the interior of the state. The Star of the West had arrived with advises from San Francisco to the 16th September, and $816,670 in specie on freight. The John L. Stephens had sailed from San Francisco with $1,362,473 in specie. Mining interests continued in a prosperous condition, under the operation of improved machinery. The silver mines of Arrizona, in Sonora, had turned out to be of unparalleled richness. The news had created great excitement among the inha bitants, and upwards of 1,000 men had left Guaymas and Hormosilla for the mines. The quantity of quicksilver shipped from San Francisco for the six months ending June Bth exceeded 9,047 flasks. During January and August 26,722 persons arrived at San Francisco. The number of departures was 18,083, nearly all males. The accounts of the merciless depredations of the Indians in Sonora are truly startling and melancholy. The savages were murdering the whites, including women and children; wherever they could be found. The Illinois had arrived at New York, with $1,218,811 in California gold dust on freight. The state of the Isthmus of Panama was good, and the roods in fine tra velling condition. The New York Herald says :—". We stated a few days since that Messrs. James Sykes and Co., of Sheffield, England, had concluded a contract for the construction o a plank road and railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuan tepec. The plank road will be built first and put into operation. This will be completed within the next twelve months. As soon as the route is opened and operated in this way, the laying of rails will commence, and be carried through in the shortest possible time. Messrs. Baring and other eminent English capitalists are at the bottom of this movement, which is a guarantee that it will be successful in every particular. This will be the shortest route between New York and San Francisco, and that it will be the favourite with the travelling public no one at all acquainted with its advantages can for a moment doubt. From New York to San Fran cisco, vid the Panama ronte, the distance is 4,992 miles ; rid Nicaragua, 4,531 miles ; rid Tehuantepec, 3,804 miles. From England to San Francisco, via Panama, .the distance is 7,502 miles ; rid Nicaragua, 7,041; and rid Tehuantepec, 6,671 miles. The distance from New York to San Frahcisco is, rid Tehuantepec, 1,188 miles nearer than Panama, and 727 miles nearer than Nicaragua. The distance from England to San Francisco, via Tehuantepec, is 831 miles less than by Panama, and 370 miles less than by Nicaragua. New Orleans is more favourably located in relation to this route than any port of England, or the port of New York, in the distance saved. From New Orleans to San Fran cisco, rid Tehuantepec, the distance is 1,801 miles less than by Panama, and 1,063 miles less than by Nicaragua. The geographical position of New Orleans is, therefore, not only more favourable as regards the total distance, but as regards distance saved." The Mexican Legation at Washington had issued a letter declaring that. the re-organization of the national force of Mexico is for the purpose of defending the people of that country against the attacks of the wild Indians on the frontiers of the United States, who have not been re strained by the latter Government, in accordance with the stipulations of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. It is positively denied that Santa Anna intends to employ this great military force either for oppressing his, fellow countrymen or to make war upon a friendly power. Letters from St. John's N. 8., report the loss of the steam-ship Fairy Queen. Three ladies were drowned. Accounts from Hayti state that fever had disappeared. The country was in a quiet state, and advancing gradu ally to a more prosperous condition. Coffee was very scarce, and had advanced to $lO5 per 1001bs. Haytien currency. Letters from New Granada state that the country en joyed tranquillity, although much agitation existed among the people on account of the transition from the old to the new constitution. The electoral question had given rise to much discussion, which was carried on to rather an alarming extent in some of the provinces. The question of religion was also creating a good deal of dissatisfaction among some parties, who could not reconcile themselves to the change. Gov. Barkly had not arrived at Jamaica by the 28th ult. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, OCT. 11 MONEY.—The six per cent. U. S. loans of 1867-8 are worth 122-1. The amount sent in for purchase by the Treasury during the last week was $506,000, including the several loans. The curtailment of loans by the banks has thrown a large amount of good paper into the bro kers' hands for negotiation, the rates of discount on which range from 1 to 12, and even 2 per cent. per month. In foreign exchange the market is firm for sterling bills, bankers' signatures, at 110 to 1091 • produce bills, 108 to 1091- ; France, 5 111- to 5 12f ; Amsterdam, 41 to 411 ; Hamburgh, 361 to 36} ; Bremen, 791 to 80, COTTON.—(From W. P. Wright's Circular of Oct. 11.)—Our market has been sensibly affected by the ad vices per Arabia, not so much in price as in the cessation of demand for export. The sales, which consist of only 4,500 bales, have been made chiefly to home consumers, with occasional small parcels to fill freight engagements, or positive orders. Holders still resist the efforts made towards a lower scale of prices, and only sell when the quotations annexed can be reali7ed ; the lower grades must be considered nominal, they being difficult to move ; nor can this be a matter of surprise when the Arabia brings advices of sales of ordinary cotton, made in Liver pool, at about the date of her sailing, at prices below the first cost in this market in May last, and which, if here to-day, would sell within tc. of the price then paid The export since the 4th of October has been, to Liverpool, 2,939 bales; Bremen, 233; Antwerp, 172. Total, 3,344 bales. Prices in this country are considerably higher than any in Europe, whith may be accounted for in the belief that the Turkish affair will very soon 'be peaceably dis posed of. Receipts at the port show a decrease, as com pared with last year, of 77,000 bales. The exports to Great Britain during the past week have been but 4,000 bales, again 10,000 same week last season. The excess since Ist September last is reduced to 3,000 bales. • The accounts continue unfavourable as to the prospects of the growing crop, and in some sections of South and North Carolina a slight frost has already happened, not severe enough, however, to hurt the plant. The following is a statement of the movement in cotton since the Ist of September last, as compared with the previous three years : _ 1853 1852 1851 1850.

The prices of choice qualities of wheat are fully maintained, whilst all others, with the exception of red, which is scarce and in demand, can be bought somewhat cheaper than last week. Indian corn has advanced to the extent of 3c. to 4c. per bushel. PROVISIONEL—Mess pork is steady, at $l7 laic. to $l7 25c. ; prime, $l3 874 e. to $14., Beef is firm, and good lots are scarce.

NEW ORLEANS.—Receipts for the week ending Sep tember 30th, 10,470 bales. Exports : to Liverpool, 1,748 bales ; Havana, 40 ; Vera Cruz, 148. The market has pre sented very little activity. The sales generally indicate a decline of c. from the rates current last week. The total sales have been confined to 3,800 bales, of qualities ranging from low middling to middling fair, taken for England, France, &c. Freight to Liverpool, id. The receipts of new crop thus far this season are 21,531 bales, against 99,970 bales to same date last year. Oct. 10.-1,600 baled of cotton were sold to-day. The market is heavy and lower.

ARRIVAL OF THE EAGLE By the ship Eagle, Captain Boyce, belonging to Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co.'s Eagle line of Australian packets we have intelligence from Melbourne to the 28th July. The Eagle ;railed on the 28th of July, and reached the Mersey on Saturday, thus making the voyage in 86 days. On her passage home she spoke the following vessels : October 9, in lat. 36 55, lon. 36 38, the Rhondda, from Pernambuco for this port ; October 14, in lat. 47 21, lon. 29 35, the St. George, from Maryport for Quebec ; Oct. 16, in lat. 48 55, lon. 19 3, the Shackamaxon, from Liver pool for Philadelphia. The Eagle has brought the following on freight :-120 packages gold dust, weighing 63,952 oz. 10 dwts., and valued at £256,000 ; 2,070 bags rice, 1,895 barrels flour, four octaves and three cases wine, one case of watches, and numerous cases of sundries. She has also brought 156 passengers, and 77 bags of letters and newspapers. In addition to the gold on freight, there was a large amount in the hands of passengers ; and two nuggets, one weighing 1,117 oz. 11 dwts. and the other 1,011 oz. 15 dwts., and valued at nearly £B,OOO. They were taken from the Canadian Gully, Balaarat, by two labouring men, who, after several days' working, to little or no purpose, struck upon the above. The passengers are all well, and speak very highly of the vessel, the commander, and his officers. The screw-steamer Cleopatra was to sail from Melbourne for Liverpool, via the Cape of Good Hope, on the 31st July. The screw-steamer Argo was to sail from Melbourne for Southampton on the 18th of August. The Royal Mail -steamer Chusan arrived at Melbourne on the 20th of July, with the mails of the 4th of May, from England, and sailed on the 21st for Sydney. • A person named Quinn, who absconded from Messrs. Train and Co.'s., of this town, in July, 1852, with £1,300, was captured in Melbourne, and has been brought back in the Eagle. The boa, containing £lO,OOO in gold, which had been lost overboard, in Melbourne Harbour, from the steamer Osmanli, from Liverpool, had not been recovered, although a diving-bell had been constructed, and every attempt had been made to recover it. Two Government escorts arrived at Melbourne on the 22d July, one with 1,737 ounces from the Ovens diggings, and the other with 3,100 ounces from the Mount M`lvor diggings. The accounts from Geelong state that a decided im provement was observable in the yield of gold from l3alaarat. The last escort that arrived in Melbourne brought down nearly 6,000 ounces, besides leaving a large quantity behind. Great excitement had been caused at Melbourne in con sequence of the Mayor Private Escort Company's escort having been attacked and robbed, on its way to Melbourne, of a considerable amount of gold dust and gold coin. One account states that the escort was robbed of 2,390 ounces of gold dust and a large amount of gold coin, and that four men in charge of the escort had been killed. A later account states that the escort was attacked by twenty men when about fifteen miles from the Mount 141`Ivor diggings, and that the amount of dust stolen was 8,000 ounces, besides £4,000 in gold coin. No official account of the robbery had, however, reached Melbourne at latest advices. The latest accounts from Perth, Western Australia, are to the 10th July. The operations at the Coal Shales, on the Preston river, were to be discontinued, in consequenee of the workmen employed not being able to sink deeper without proper materials, and the boring apparatus sent by government not being sufficiently equipped. All descriptions of goods and merchandise were rapidly accumulating in Melbourne ; from twelve to fourteen arrivals from foreign ports every day. Gold was still rising, and was quoted at £3 17s. 6d. per ounce. Martell's brandy, in bond, was quoted at 15s. to 17s. ; Bass's ale, 16s. per dozen; case brandy, 51s. to 635. per dozen; clean fleece wool brought 18id. to 214 d.; slipe 17d to lad.; lambs, 21d.; hand-washed, 20/d.; fine Adelaide flour, £27 to £2B per ton; hay, £23 per ton; oats, 12s. per bushel; maize, 15s. per bushel ; - hams, 9d. per pound; cheese, colonial, Bd. per pound; Cheddar cheese, ls. 3d. per pound; butter, ls. 4d. per pound; lunch biscuits, 9d. per pound; chocolate, 9d. per pound; Kent hops, ls. 3d. per pound. Timber and building materials in good demand, at very high prices. Bricks, English, were selling at £l7 per 1000 ; quartering boards, 465. to 595. per 100 feet ; joists, 565. to 675. per ditto; battens, 545. to 60s. per ditto ; laths, 40s. to 41s. per 1000; shingles, 735. per ditto; grooved and tongued boards, 7-id. to Bd. per foot; and lime, 15s. to 20s. per bag. Superior draught horses were realizing from £BO to £118;. inferior ditto, from £55 to £75 ; supe rior hacks, from £3O to £42 ; inferior ditto, from £l5 to £25 ; working bullocks. £35 to £45 per pair for superior ones ; and £2O to £25 for inferior. The barque Tory was wrecked on the 15th July, whilst on her passage from London. She was bound to Port Stephens, with two hundred and eighty passengers, prin cipally for the Peel River Gold Mining Company, and machinery, and had reached to within seven miles of her destination when she met with the disaster. All the passengers were saved. _ _ _ - A correspondent, writing from Ralaarat on the 11th of July, says, One or two rushes have occurred during the last two or three weeks, without any material result. Prince Regent's, or Norton's Gully, continues to attract the greatest numbers ; whilst that portion of the Eureka abutting on the flat, which was last worked productively, was gradually being abandoned until within the last day or two. Claims are now being made upon the flat, which are gradually extending into the valley leading to Balaarat, and, should a few of these claims turn out well, there is no doubt that the whole of the valley to Balaarat will be turned up during the course of the next few months. The escort returns give a very imperfect estimate of the quantity of gold produced, and chiefly indicate the quantity sold each week upon the ground, whilst great numbers are hoarding their gold, and refuse to sell more than is sufficient to supply their immediate wants. The roads are in the most wretched state, and no attempt is made to repair them, or even to make the approaches to the camp to lerably good. Whenever a rush occurs in the neighbour hood of a road, as frequently happens, claims are sure to be marked out, and often holes several feet deep dug in the road itself. The commissioner, as a matter of course, makes his appearance on the following day, and should he be so fortunate as to catch the delinquents, fines them also, as a matter of course; but no attempt is made to restore the road to its former state, or even to fill up the holes, and the carters are daily co m p e ll e d t o fi n d ou t fresh tracts for their drays. Not satisfied with compelling storekeepers, schoolmasters, parsons, doctors, and law yers to take out licenses this month, a carter was caught, when looking for his bullocks in the bush, and fined five pounds for not having a license." A correspondent of the Melbourne Argus, writing from Mount M`lvor diggings on the 19th July, says, " Since my last communication the diggings at M`lvor have slightly improved, in so far that ground hitherto neglected, or but badly prospected, has within the last week had a more thorough trial, by sinking through, in cases, no less than three, four, and even five, bottoms of clay, and coming down to the hard rock, at a depth, say, from thirty to fifty feet. In consequence of this deep sinking on the rising eminences and gullies between, run ning along the creek south from the Melbourne Private Escort-office, a heavy rush has taken place, and a consi derable amount of gold has been secured by those who have reached the hard rock bottom. So many false bottoms of clay above referred to have puzzled, until lately, the diggers at M`lvor altogether. One would think the first clay was the true bottom; another would imagine the second clay the real thing ; another digger the next clay, and so on. Gold certainly is found more or less lying on these clay bottoms, and the best and surest way at Mlvor to sink a hole is, first, down to the hard rock ; that reached, then drive under as far as you can ; when that is completed, then fill up the hole to the lowest clay bottom ; drive on that again, and so on up to the highest clay bottom in the pit. Another thing I may mention is, that at M`lvor the washing-stuff has quite a yellow red kind of colour, and not that bluey white colour, as at Forest Creek and other diggings. This has deceived many old dig gers; so much so, that in one instance two men realised a heavy weight of gold in nuggets on the Commissioner's Flat, but, not knowing the nature of the soil, threw away their washing-stuff. The two men afterwards separated ; one went to Bendigo,but the other remained at M`lvor, and, becoming better acquainted with the soil, went back to his holes, and in the first week washed out from what they had thrown away, ten ounces. Last Wednesday, a fifty-two ounce nugget was again picked out, i n a pit b e hi n d th e " Commissioner's ;" I have also seen a fine crystalised piece of gold weighing eleven ounces, taken out by a lad among the rocks adjoining the Golden Hill, in posses sion of Dr. Waugh. A considerable rush had also taken place during the week, to the Bald Hill, about two miles and a half north of the Private Escort Com pany's place ; where, I am given to understand, the dig gers are realising most handsomely. The long flats lying directly east and west of the M`lvor Creek are also looked at with most wistful eyes ; but the diggers are pre vented from digging there at present, from the great rush pring very great se flaw, irual what has already _yle Gully, Opossum Gully, and favourites at present, and several, otner improvements goinvgeroynsantuMg business there. Among , and which show what the authorities think as to the stability of the 31`Ivor diggings, contracts have been issued, and taken up by Messrs. Crowley, late of Adelaide,' for the erection of splen did stone barracks and offices for the 'powers that be,' in TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1853° amount somewhere about £5,000. The foundation for u,';', d im same is now being laid down by the contractors, .° ll rov e. be completed in a few months.
