The Proprietor can confi dently recommend it in all cases of Coughs, Sore Throats, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, and Weakness of the Chest and Lungs, as well as for the relief and ultimate cure of long standing Asthmatic Affections, which have offered resistance to the most approved remedies. Being entirely free from all noxious ingredients, and beneficial to the system generally, it may be taken by persons of all ages with perfect safety; for whilst powerful to heal and give relief to the chest and throat, and to subdue and eradicate cough, its tendency is to cool and 'purify the blood. The following are a few of the many thousand cures yearly effected by WOOLLEY'S PECTORAL CANDY : Surprising Cure of a Cough of seven years' duration, after the best medical advice had failed.—Plymouth, Foundry Plymouth, Devon, March 22, 1850.—T0 Mr. Woolley,— Sir,—l think it a auty I owe to yourself and the public to inform you of the great benefit I have derived from your Pec toral Candy.

You have my permis. sion to give publicity to this statement.—l am, sir, yours, &c., JOHN EDMOND MARE.

Please send me three dozen of the large boxes for her brother to take out to the Mauritius with him next week. -I can also add my testimony that, from the many cases I have seen of its decided efficacy, I am persuaded it stands unrivalled as a general cough medicine.—Yours truly, HENRY WATTS' ' Chemist. Chatham. Extraordinary Cure of a case of Asthma of ten years' duration.—Redditch, Worcestershire, March 17th, 1851.

Saw Mills, Corn and Rice Mills, Building and Joiners' Establishments, and all others requiring rotary motion, are respectfully invited to examine PARKER'S PRINCIPLE of BANDING PULLEYS, which combines a large saving of motive power, with an increased velocity of motion never before obtained in limited compa-s, and may be applied as well to the first motion from the engine as to the collateral demands upon the power, which is largely saved by avoiding the Complicated Bands, Pulleys, and Cog Wheels. The principle is applied with matchless success to Fans, Blowers. Lathes, Winnowing and Thrashing Corn, Chopping Hay, Grinding Malt, Circular Saws, of any required dimen sions; hut the most remarkable application of this invention is to the Portable Circular Saw, which is made to perform a variety of duties that render it the most desirable tool, and which no mechanic will be able to dispense with. For the right to use this patented invention, and for the purchase of the royalties of any Town, County. District, or for any individual establishment, and for directions in its application, Apply to WILLIAM ROWETT, Commercial-buildings, Water-street, who is the sole Agent for Liverpool. N.B.—lt has been ascertained that one man working the Portable Saw can do the work of a steam-engine of one horse power for a limited period. GREAT FIRE AT THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY'S WORKS, AND DEFEATED BURGLARIES, THOMAS MILNER and SON have sincere pleasure in communicating to their Friends and the Public the following new endorsements to the claims of their HOLDFAST and FIRE-RESISTING SAFES. The Fire at the Gutta Percha Company's Works was of the most intense character, as may well be conceived from the nature of its food. Gutta Percha, Oil, Naptha, reducing the buildings to a pile of gutted red-hot walls. The Safe has been most severely tried, as the letter testifies, and brought its contents out of the Furnace without a singe upon them. 66 Gutta Percha Company's Works, " City-road, London, Bth June, 1853. " Stns,—We consider it only our duty to inform you of the entire preservation of all the books and papers* contained in the large safe you recently supplied us with, although exposed during Sunday last to a fire which destroyed the larger part of our works. This is the more remarkable, as the intense heat has in many parts melted the outside of the safe. " We are of opinion that so successful a vindication of the merits of your invention cannot, on public grounds, be too generally known ; and we therefore leave you at liberty to use this letter in any way you may wish. " We are; Sirs, your obedient servants, "THE GUTTA PERCHA COMPANY. " HENRY FORD BARCLAY. "To Messrs.

"GENTLEMEN, — Some time back I was indebted to your strong Holdfast and Fire-resisting Safe for the protection of a large amount of cash, against the violent an 4 persevering attempts of burglars at my steam-mills, in Woodstock-street, and I have now the pleasure of informing you that I have lately found the same impregnable security in the one 1 had last from you for my provision warehouse in Brownlow-bill. The floor was all trodden over around the safe, as if the thieves had been at it for many hours, after which they got it out into the back yard, and as it could not be picked or broken open, they then filled the key-hole with gunpowder, thinking to gain admission by explosion but in which they were again foiled.

Smith, Esq. :—" 13, St. Mark's-terrace, West Brompton, London, 10th May, 1852.—Sir,—Ten years ago I was induced to give you my opinion, founded on experience, of the merits of Frampton's Pill of Health. lam pleased at your having published that plain statement, by which I hope others have bean induced to try so effective a medicine. Anxious cares and the neglect of my old tried friend during the early part of this year, had produced symptoms of uneasiness which I found it prudent no longer to neglect; and I am delighted to say that a few doses of the pills, under the blessing of Divine Providence, has removed, and I am again as well as I ever was in my fife. Please forward me the usual supply of half-a dozen boxes, which I may safely term my medicine chest for self and family; and I hold it a duty to omit no opportunity of thus giving to you proofs of my experience of the valuable properties of this medicine.—Wm. SMITH." These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds, Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all obstructions of the Urinary Passages; and, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head ache, Giddiness. Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females, these Pills are moat truly excellent, removing all Obstructions, the dis tressing Headache so very prevalent with the sex ; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To Mothers they are con fidently recommended as the best medicine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all ages they are un equalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most suc cessful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be required. Sold by T. PROUT, 229, Strand, London.

A New and Curious Invention con nected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. How ard; it is the introduction of an ENTIRELY NEW DE SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH ; fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and pre serve the teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it, should avail themselves of this New discovery. MR. HOWARD, SURGEON DENTIST 17, At home from eleven till four. This new method of fixing Artificial Teeth, has obtained the approbation and recommendation of the following emi nent Physicians and Surgeons :—Sir James Clark, Bart., Physician to Her Majesty; Dr. Locock, Physician Accou cheur to Her Majesty; Sir B. C. Brodie, Bart., Sergeant Surgeon to Her Majesty; Sir D. Davies, Physician to Her Majesty the Queen Dowager; Dr. Merriman, Physician to Her R. H. the Duchess of Kent; and numerous other mem bers of the Medical Profession. Those interested in the subject will find this statement of the superiority of these teeth over all others to be entirely and scrupulously correct. H--THE TO PROLONG LIFE AND ENJOY IT. 1.1.-THE GREAT PURIFYING AND STRENGTH ENING MEDICINE. What though the sun in beauty shine, And you have countless hoards of wea'th; What though the world—all, all was thine, If you but want the blessing, Health. Dr. DE ROOS' PILULE VITAS, or VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS. A universal Restorative for both Sexes and all Ages, concocted solely from the VEGETABLE kingdom; they may be administered to the youngest Child, or to the most delicate Invalid, by merely regulating the dose according to the age and strength of the person. They remove all Disorders and Pains in the Stomach and Bowels, as Costiveness, Spasms, Loss of Appetite, Sick Headache, Fulness after Meals, Indi gestion, Liver Complaints, Inactivity of the Bowels, Listless ness, Heat, Pain, and Jaundiced Appearance; and while they act thus salutarily, they must of necessity increase the strength of the Patient. Headache, Giddiness, Singing in the Ears, Fluttering of the Sight, and other Heavy Drowsy Sensa tions,—the forerunners of many fatal diseases,—as Apoplexy, Paralytic Strokes, Epilepsy, &c., are effectually warded off by a few doses of these Pills. They also produce sound refresh ing Sleep, a keen Appetite, and possess extraordinary efficacy in invigorating the system, and imparting a pleasing serenity of mind. They are unequalled as a Family Medicine; in few instances, where occasionally employed in Families and Schools, will other assistance be needed. For Females they are truly excellent, removing Headaches, Depression of Spirits, Dizziness of Sight, Nervousness, Dim ples, Sallowness, and giving a healthy juvenile bloom to the Complexion. Ladies, however delicate, will find them parti cularly beneficial both before and after confinement. For Elderly People they are the most comfortable Medicine that can be taken. Mr. Smith, St. Ins: "Since taking your Pills I have not once required the services of a medical man, and feel satisfied this would be the case generally, if people were not so much governed by prejudice."—T. Webster, Esq., Sleaford, near Melton Mowbray: "Having read your advertisement, I felt assured your Pills would be of use to some of my poorer neighbours. I have bad 12 boxes, and they have derived great benefit from taking them. I shall continue to recom mend your valuable Pills to all my friends."— Mr. Edwin Highley, 4, Mount-street, Halifax : " I find your Paula Vita a very pleasant medicine in removing headache."—Maent wrog, Tan-y.Bwlch, North Wales: "Mr. Warner's compli ments to Dr. De Roos, and he finds no medicine do him so much good as his Pilulae Vitae." _ _ Persons going Abroad, Captains, and others, cannot store more important articles of health than the above, which, by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, and tranquillizing 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 Emigrant'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. . . _ IM PORTA NT.—Some unprincipled Vendors, when asked for Dr. DE ROOS' Pills, have attempted to foist upon the Pur chaser 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 let ters on the red ground printed in the stamp, affixed to each Box, by special direction of Her Majesty's Honourable Com missioners, to protect the Public from Fraud, and to imitate which is Felony. May be obtained through all Medicine Vendors, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d.; 4s. 6d., lie., and 335. per Box, with Directions for Use, &c., 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 LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER iLtberpoot ~E-INtanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 18, 1853. THE WEEK. AT the meeting of 'the Town Council, on Wed nesday, a considerable amount of business was done in deciding upon the recommendations of the several committees, but the object was effected by a great' expenditure of eloquence, owing to the strong desire which seemed to prevail for making speeches. A subject of great interest was brought before the Council by Alderman PARKER, who produced some magnificent potatoes which had been grown on the Sandhills, near the Southport Railway, by the sole aid of Liverpool sewage. Such a conversion of offensive refuse is a subject of too much importance, in a two-fold sense, not to demand further investigation into the practica bility of its extension, so that Liverpool might be cleansed from her impurities, to be returned in the shape of food. The Town Council has decided upon the North side of Shaw's-brow as a site for the new building for the Free Library and Museum, owing to the lower side of St. George's-hall being bespoke for Public Baths. As the latter site will be occupied by a public building, it removes the objection to the Library not being placed there, but we cannot see any force in the remark, that the Library would obstruct the view of St. George's-hall, as it ought not to be a lofty building. The extra concert of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society, on Tuesday, was a brilliant affair, sur passing the most sanguine anticipations of its success. Every seat in the spacious building had been engaged long before, and in order to accom modate, as far as possible, the many who applied for admission, extra seats were placed in every available space, and all were occupied, even to the standing room in the galleries. The audience comprised the youth, beauty, and fashion of the neighbourhood for several miles round. Another musical treat is in store in the performance of the. London Orchestral Union; on Tuesday next. This band comprises the leading professors on each particular instrument,. and, as they have practised. well together, the result is a perfection of harmony and a completeness of finish which surpasses even the magical effects of Jr - Liam/es. celebrated band. The arrival of the Golden Age, from New York, on Wednesday, added another to the gigantic steam-ships for which Liverpool has gained a well deserved celebrity. She will leave here in a short time as one of the Golden. Line of packets to Australia, and will then form the pioneer of the new route by way of Panama, which , will be effected by a double line of steamers, viz.,, from Liverpool to Chagres, thence across the Isthmus by railway, and then from Panama to Australia, so that, although we may see the Golden: Age no more, she will still be employed in the conveyance of Liverpool passengers and Liverpool goods to the gold regions of Australia. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. — The Emperor and Empress left Paris on Wednesday for Compiegne. They drove along the Boule vards in an open carriage to the Northern Railway, pre ceded by a detachment of guides, and followed by an escort of dragoons. The Moniteur publishes a= list of the different forests formerly belonging to the Orleans family, which are to be sold in , the present year in execution of the decree of March 27,1852, and which together are equal in extent to about 62,050 English acres. The Abbe Dequevauviller, Apostolic Missionary and Chancellor of the Patriarch of Jerusalem, .was received by their Majes ties on Sunday. He presented to the Empress at cross in mother-of-pearl, sculptured at Bethlehem. ITALY. — The government of Naples has decreed that all vessels arriving from the ports of London and New castle shall be subjected to a quarantine of ten: days, if they have clean bills of health. If not, the vessels will not be permitted to enter the Neapolitan ports. Vessels from Gibraltar and the northern ports of France are to remain seven days in quarantine. DENMAIIIE.—On the 3d inst. the King of Denmark opened the diet of the kingdom of Denmark Proper with a speech from the Throne. His Majesty referred to the efforts he had made towards unity of constitution, and alluded to the new law governing the succession to the throne in the whole monarchy of Denmark. Princess Christian of Denmark was safely delivered of a daughter on the 27th of September... The family have now mounted the royal livery of red and gold, and will soon be men tioned in the prayers put up for the royal family in the liturgy. TURKEY.--The Fury, having left Constantinople on the 2nd instant, arrived at Marseilles on the 9th, and:her let ters fully establish the feet that a declaration of war, in due form, has been made by the Porte ; hostilities to com mence forthwith, unless the evacuation of the Provinces be instantly proceeded with. At the date of the , Fury'S departure, it was reported3hat the Turkish and Egyptian fleets were entering thelllack Sea. We learn further that the Fury had met Her Majesty's ship Ardent, carrying orders for the British fleet to enter the Dardanelles. Xlater despatch informs us that a manifesto, declaring war,lad been posted, on the sth, at the entrances of all the Mosques. Omar Pasha had been instructed to inform Prince-Gorts chakoff that he must evacuate the Principalities. In• case the Prince were to reply that he must have the permission of his Government, a delay not exceeding the time strictly necessary for communicating with St. Petersburgh, was to be granted to the Russians. In the case of a peremptory refusal on the part of the Prince, Omar Pasha was in structed at once to commence hostilities, without, however, crossing the Danube. A courier, conveying'the text of the manifesto, was expected to reach Vienna on the 13th. A levy of 150,000 troops had been decreed. The remainder of the Russian functionaries were about to leave the country. The navigation of the Danube and of the Black Sea is left open, bythedeclarationofwar,to vessels sailingunderneutral flags. Vast masses of Russian troops continue to pour westward. On the 26th four battalions of Jagers and 32aix-pounders arrived at Bucharest. On the 27th came eight battalions of Jagers, and the day after three battalions, also Jagers, with their baggage. Captain_ Luders arrived on the 26th incognito. On the 30th Prince Gortschakofhaustersed the several corps at Aleko Ghika, Magureta, Kalugaren, and Scherbanetschi. A despatch from Bucharest of the Ist instant, says,—Prince Menschikoff is, charged with the Administration of the Principalities, and Prince Paskie vitch nominated Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army on the Danube. The Journal des "Moats, upon the authority of its correspondent at Constantinople, says that the Ottoman Porte had determined to resist Russia, though the Four Powers should be opposed to such an act, for the Divan were unanimous in their decision, which the Grand Council supported by 160 against 3. The repre sentatives of Austria, Prussia, France, and England (the latter with reluctance), anxious to avoid such an extremity, endeavoured to persuade the Sultan to accept the Vienna note, but without effect. The Turkish fleet is to be sta tioned at Battshik. Advices from Bucharest state that the Metropolitan was to give his blessing to the flags and troops on the 3rd instant, and that on the 6th or 7th an at tack would probably be made on theleft bank of the Danube. A telegraph despatch, dated Paris 16th Oct., says :—lt is asserted that an important despatch has been received from St. Petersburgh. The Czar, who had promised to accept any proposals the mediating Powers might make, has, on receiving the news of the Turkish declaration of war, declared that he retracts all his concessions. He added that nothing remained now but war to the knife (guerre a l'outrance.) A private telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, dated Saturday, announces the arrival of a mail steamer which left Constantinople on the sth instant. In Besika Bay she met the two fleets preparing to enter the Dardanelles. The Porte has addressed a manifesto to the Four Powers. Orders have been given for the immediate armament of the frigates Le Vauban, Descartes, Asmodee, Caciqui, Montezuma, and Panama. AIISTRIA.—An Imperial decree orders the reduction of the Austrian army by means of an extended system of furloughs. The Voss Gazette of Berlin states that Lord Westmoreland, on his return from Olmiitz, had declared that the Emperor Nicholas would make no further con cessions. The Czar has sent his portrait to Prince Met ternich, and has given decorations to more than eighty Austrian officers. The Emperor left Vienna for Munich on Monday. Conferences are still being very frequently held between Count Buol, Lord Westmoreland, and M. de Bourqueney ; so that the Viennese were of opinion that the exertions of these distinguished diplomatists were not yet come to a close as regards the Turkish question. Various merchants in Vienna, trading with Constantinople, have received instructions from their correspondents,not to send any more goods byway of the Danube, fears being enter tained that hostilities would soon break out there. RussiA.—The Grand Duke, heir to the throne, arrived at St. Petersburg, on the Ist inst. Several wealthy and patriotic Russians are sending large stores of provisions as gifts to the army encamped in Wallachia. It was re ported in Paris on Thursday that the Baron de Kisseleff, the Russian Minister, had been recalled. EGYPT.—According to accounts received from Alexan dria, to the 6th instant, the exports of grain from Egypt were still going on, and the question of stoppage unsettled. The Nile had done some damage, but was falling. JAPAN.—The American squadron, under Commodore Perry, reached Japan on the Bth July, and left again on the 17th. It was well received, but the opening of Japan was postponed to the spring of 1854. WEST INDIES.—By the Royal Mail Steam-ship La Plata we have the West India and Pacific mails of Hon duras, 18th ; Jamaica, 26th; and St. Thomas's,' 30th ult. In Jamaica the position of affairs was unaltered, and the arrival of 'Governor Barkly look e d f orwar d to w ith the u tmost anxiety. Rain continued to fall copiously through out the island. A fely cases of yellow fever still occurred in all the islands : Trinidad at present suffers most ; but it is abating there. Four cases of cholera had broken out at Kingston just before the packet left. Tortola is quiet. Sixty-one of the ringleaders in the late riots are in custody. On the 19th of September an earthquake was felt at St. Thomas. At Belize, a spaniard has been executed for the murder of Colonel Henderson. HompunAs.—A treaty of peace, with a boundary line, is just completed between Yucatan and the Indians' through the mediation of the British Consul at Honduras. NEW ZEALAND.—From the official accounts of the re- venue and trade of the colony, it appears that the revenue of Auckland for the last four years, ending. 1852, has been pretty stationary, at from £19,500 to '. £20,000. The official value of the imports averages £lOO,OOO ; last year it reached £138,578, but this included £35,000 of specie. The value of the exports in 1852 was £77,953, against £41,641 in 1851. There are now about 6,000 tons of shipping belonging to the port of Auckland, and a most profitable trade is carried on in grain, roots, tim ber, &c., with Sydney and Melbourne. Australian gold has placed considerable means in the hands of the colo nists ; and, although labour has been scarce and dear, the spirit of the people and the fertility of the soil may be determined from the fact that, on the very first day on which the modified regulations (by which agricultural land became pnrchaseable at 10s. and pastoral land at ss. an acre) took effect, not less than 21,000 acres were applied for. Inntx.—We have advices by Overland Mail from Bom bay to the 12th September, and Hong-Kong to the 24th of August. Of political news in India there is a barren ness. It may, however, be interesting to those who give India some real consideration, to know that the Governor-General is employing the respite from war to look into the internal condition of the country. The accounts from Burmah are most unsatisfactory,—the famine, though abating, is still very severely felt; the troops are sickly and disgusted, and the country, every where out of sight of our posts, is literally possessed by large bands of robbers, who, there is too much reason to believe, are instigated by the Government of Ava, with the object of laying waste our new territory, and compel ling. its inhabitants to emigrate into Burmah Proper. CHINA.—We are in possession of advices from Shanghai of the 7th of August, being 25 days later than by last mail. Though the accounts we have of the rebellion are general, they agree as to the successful progress of the insurgents northwards. It was reported there had been hard fighting in the Honan province; but the rebels forced their way through without apparently sustaining any severe reverses, and had crossed the Yellow River into Shantung province, the capital of which, Tsi-nan-foo, it is given out, had fallen. They were pushing on towards Pekin in great force, and it was the current belief that a division of the rebels was not far from that capital ; but the vague reports of its having been taken seem prema ture: The insurgents retain Nankin and Chin-kiang-foo. At the latter place there had been a smart engagement with the Imperialists, in which the latter were completely routed, and obliged to retire, the insurgents taking a place towards Soochan, which caused great consternation in that city, and which would, no doubt, shortly be obliged to submit.- Amoy, up to the 10th of August, remained in possession orthe rebels, but the Imperialists were to make another effort, in force, to retake it in a few days. In an attempt to take the Imperial fleet, the rebels were unsuc cessful, and very unfortunate in having several of their vessels driven on the Mandarins' war junks, and taken, and all on board were beheaded. The place had been visited by a severe typhoon, causing great damage to houses and property. Letters from Canton mention that the commander of the Imperial troops at the Melin Pass had sent to Canton for assistance and instructions liow to act, as the rebels were marching on the pass. Atr6TRALIA..—We have advices from Sydney via Pa nama, to the 19th of July, up to which date there had apparentlybeen no ffirther important alteration in the state of the import markets. Large quantities of goods, it is said, were being continually forced to sale ; but the evil is attributed to the want of storage rather than to the supply being such as to necessitate ruinous sacrifices, the consumption being very great. Building materials and furniture continued in extraordinary demand. Little • intelligence is communicated regarding the mines in , either colony, the means of communication being almost suspended from floods and other causes peculiar to the season. It is said, however, that the yield at the Ovens k continued to be very large. A consignment of 10,000 sovereigns had been lost at Geelong, from the Gsmanli steamer, in its removal to boat, in 24 feet water, but was expected to be recovered. Should such not be the case, the loss would fall upon London underwriters. • The Chusan steamer, with the overland mails from England, was due on the 13th of July, but had not yet been re ported. The Argo steamer, belonging to the General Screw Company, which left Southampton on the Bth of May, was reported to have arrived at Melbourne previously to the 16th of July, and her mails were at once taken on to Sydney ty the Hellespont She is expected to accom plish her return voyage by about the 20th of the present month. The Osmanli steamer, from Liverpool, had also eached Melbourne. Nonxn AUSTEALIA. — The - Lords of the Treasury have granted the application which General Haug has made to them for a new exploration of the northern part of Aus tralia. The sum placed at the- service of the expedition, under the recommendation of the Royal Geographical So ciety, is £2,500:—" General . Hang proposes to start from the mouth of the -Victoria River with a carefully selected body of guides and - explorers—to ascend this fine river to one of its sources—to continue-his journey from that point in an easterly direction, the precise route being determined by the nature of the soil and its overgrowths. This move ment across country will bring the party to one or other of the many affluents of the streams running northwards into the Gulf of Carpentaria. Afterwards, General Haug proposes to strike into the interior, and settle the gre.it question of whether there is, or is not, a great central de sert in that continent So far as the Victoria River has been traced, it was found to be navigable—or capable of being made so—and the country beyond the range of the explorer was seen to be- green and beautiful. It may be Lomat' that tho practical difficulty which now oonfinoo tho colonist in his movements, and prevents a rapid settlement in many quarters of Australia, will now be removed by the lights of an ample knowledge of its internal geogra phical features." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA. By the British and North American Royal Mail Steam ship Africa, Captain Harrison, we have advices from New York to the sth instant. The Africa sailed from New York at 0.30, p.m., on the sth instant. Tory Island'Light was passed at 2.50, a.m., on Saturday ; at 5.10, a.iny, passed the Niagara, hence for Boston ; and at 9.50, p.m.,. saluted the Rock Light, having made the run in 10 days 4 , hours and 34 minutes. The Africa brought $BOO,OOO in specie on freight. Among the passengers were Mr. W. Jackson, M.P., and Mrs. Jackson ; Mr. Betts, Captain Jeathes, Mr. T. M. Tarleton, U.S. consul at Melbourne, Australia, and lady ; Sir Hereford and Lady Bb-dges, and about eighty others. The U.S. mail steamer Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived at New York, from this port, at 7.15, a.m., on the 3rd instant. _ _ The Hon. James G. King, formerly president of the New York Chamber of Commerce, had expired suddenly. The 4,000 ton ship, Great Republic, was successfully launched on the 4th at' Boston, in the presence of 30,000' people from all parts of 'the country. Telegraphic advices from New Orleans, to the 3rd, an nounce that the deaths. from yellow fever for the previous twenty-four hours did:not exceed six, and that the Board of Health had determined to discontinue their daily reports, considering the epidemic at an end. At Mobile, on the 4th, the sickness was abating, only two deaths having oc curred from yellow fever the previous day. On the Ist instant, the coast of New Brunswick was visited by one of the-heaviest gales experienced dining-the last twenty years.. Ten English and Norwegian vessels are reported to have been driven on shore, but the parti culars are not given. The steamer Crescent City,which had arrived atNewYork from Aspinwall, brought nearly $1,000,000 dollars in gold dust, about $40,000 of which were from Australia, being the first arrival: of any large amount from that country, via the Isthmus of Panama. Late news frem Utah states that the Indians. had re cently killed many of the white inhabitants,, and that the utmost consternation prevailed in consequence. Go vernor Brigham Young had called the military force of the territory into service, and, as a further• measure of protection, hack ordered a wall to be built around the city of Salt Lake. Adviees from Havana to the 27th ult. report the land ing of 600 African Slaves at Trinidad de•Cuba, the pro perty being disposed of with the consent of the local authorities. The facts had been brought before General Cando by the British consul. It was stated that one thousand negroes had been landed within the month, and that the sufferings they had undergone on the passage were awful. Numerous arrests had taken place of par ties supposed to be inclined to insurrection; others had been exiled. The suspension of Messrs. Diago, with lia bilities to the extent of $1,250,000, was rumoured. The barque Appoline had. put into Havana in distress, part of the crew having died from yellow fever. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, OCT. 6, Moimv.—The business in investment stock; is limited, the demand continuing light, and, although the supply is good, there is no dispositien shown to effect sales. The money market is well supplied on call at 7 per cent., but there is an indisposition to make long contracts, and the negotiation of paper is consequently more difficult. Mer cantile paper sells at from 9 to 12 per cent., and railroad notes at 12 to 15 per cent. Foreign exchanges are firm, and rates tending upward. The dosing prices are as follow :—Bills on London, 9i to 10 per cent. prem.; Paris, &c. of. 11c. to sf. 191 c., sixty days, and sf. Sic. short sight ; Antwerp, sf. 13 4 c.; Hamburg, 35'1 to 361; Bremen, 791 to 80. CoTToN.—(Prom the New York Shipping List of Oct. 5.) The market continues dull and sphitless, but there is little or no change in prices. The low qualities continue neglected. The sales for the last three days are 1600 bales.

Wright's Circular of October 5.) — Since the reception of accounts per Washington, the de mand for cotton in this market has fallen off : holders, however, did not press sales, and quotations must be con sidered nominal. Such was the position of the market up to yesterday, when an active demand set in, caused by receipt of further unfavourable news from the south as to the growing crop, and the market was swept of all de sirable parcels, the day's sales amounting to at least 5,000 bales, making a total since 26th September of 12,000 bales.—We have had very numerous and general com plaints of the crop from all sections of the cotton growing region during the past week, and the prevailing opinion here and at the south appears to be that it must fall short of the last, to what extent depends in a great measure on the time of a killing frost. BREAnSTUFFS. — The flour market has been greatly ex cited by the receipt of a succession of favourable advices from England, by the steamers Washington, America, and Baltic. The advance realised on the arrival of the first was only 12i cents per barrel, but the intelligence by the others led in each instance to a further improvement of 25 cents ; the whole advance since this day week amounting to 62tc. to 75c. per barrel. Wheat has improved to the extent of Sc. to 10c. per 60 lbs., but the demand is somewhat inter fered with by the advanced rates of freight, and it is diffi cult to effect sales for the moment even at some decline. Indian corn 'closes heavy. PnovisroNs.—The active demand for Western pork still continues, in part for export and future delivery. There is a good inquiry for good prime for France, and also a fair demand for home use ; the stock is very light. Beef, with a continual supply of good, is in good demand, in part for export, at previous prices. Lard continues firm, with a fair demand. Butter is in better demand at pre vious prices. Cheese in active request at better rates. SALT.—The sales include a cargo of Turk's Islands, and 2,400 sacks Liverpool fine, on private terms ; and 2,000 Ashton's, to arrive, about $1,75c., four months. NAVAL Sronzs.—Turpentine continues in very small supply. Common rosin is scarce and higher, and white sells quickly. Tar is only in demand for consumption. COAL.—Hard is without change, and foreign remains scarce and wanted. The dealers' price of Liverpool is $12,50c., for On.el, and $l3 for Cannel delivered from the ship, and $l4 cash for both, screened and delivered from the yard. IRoN.—There is a fair demand ; and, as the supply of Scotch pig is moderate full prices are realised. FREIGHTS.—To London and Liverpool freights have further advanced, closing at the highest figures. To the latter ports the rates are, for cotton, 7-22 d. to id. per lb.; flour, 3s. 3d. to 3s. 6d. per brl.; grain, in bulk, 124 d. to 13d. per bush. To London : flour, 4s. 6d. per brl.; grain, in bulk, 15d. per bush. To Havre: cotton, c. per lb.; flour, 78c. to 80c. per brl.; wheat, in bags, 21c. to 23c. per bush. To Glasgow: flour, 3s. 6d.; oil cake, 375. 6d.• bark, 355.; lard, 405.; and cheese, 425. 6d. The ship Charles Crooker, 930 tons, now in Liverpool, built at Bath, four years old, has been purchased by R. Caldwell and Co., for a Charleston trader, at $50,000, cash, delivered here. NEW ORLEANS, 'SEPT. 30.—=Salei for the week, 5,500 bares. Middling, 101 c.; good middling, 11c.; middling fair,- llic. Receipts for the week, 11,000 bales; stock on hand, 28,000. Freights have advanced, and are now, to Liverpool, id., and to Havre, lic. per lb.—Oct. 4: The cotton market was still heavier to-day, and, after the publication of the Baltic's news, quite unsettled, and with out any sales of importance.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC AND THE GOLDEN AGE, By the steam-shiP Arctic, Captain Lewis, and Golder age, Captain Porter both of which reached here on Wednesday, within Iwo hours of each other, we have. advices from New York to the 2nd inst. The Golden Age sailed. from New York at 8, a.m., on the 30th ult., and arrived in the Mersey at 7 o'clock ; the Arctic sailed from New York at 10, a.m., on the 2nd instant, and arrived in the Mersey at 9 o'clock on Wed nesday morning. The United States' steamer Washington, from Bremen, arrived at New York on. the 29th tilt.; the steamer America, from Liverpool, arrived at Halifax on the 29th ; and the screw steamer City of Glasgow, from Liverpool, arrived at Philadelphia on the Ist inst. The Arctic passed the steain:;liii;lialtic at 5 p.m. on the 2d, and the steamer Arabiii at 5 a.m. on the 4th, both bound from Liverpool for . New York. A very severe gale had occurred on the northern coast, and a number of fishing vessels, with their - crews, are reported to have been lost. The yellow fever at New Orleans had nearly died out. The deaths from that cause on the is inst. did not ex ceed fifteen. The correspondence relating to the Kossta affair at Smyrna has been published. Chevalier Hulseman, the Austrian Minister, had demanded that Kossta should be delivered up to Austria, and that satisfaction should be rendered to the Austrian Government. Mr. Secretary Marcy replied in a letter occupying five columns in the New York papers, refusing to give up Kossta, sanctioning Captain Ingraham's conduct, and refusing to tender any satisfaction whatever to Austria, concluding by expressing a hope that that Government will, on consideration, see the necessity of relin3uishing all claim to Kossta. The amount of C e ttstom-house dirties collected at the United States ports for the last fiscal-year was $58,731,865 nu. General James Tallidge, President of the American Institute, had expired suddenly in New York. The following important circular has been issued from the-United States Treasury department : Treasury Department, Sept. 211,1853. Sre.,—The increasing revenue and accumulating amount of money in the Treasury render it most probable that the tariff will be made a prominent subject of discussion and examina• tiom with a view to reduction, during the approaching session of Congress. In the meantime, and at as early a day as may be,.lsm desirous to obtain from the most reliable sources the best information of the working of the present rates of duty upon-the leading branches of industry of , the country, and of the effect to be expected from the proposed modifications. Understanding that you take an interest. in this subject. and havegiven some attention to it, and. perhaps, have been in situations to place within your reach very valuable informa- Boni you will much oblige me by communicating to this department your views thereon. and by furnishing lists of articles now subject to duty, which, according to such views, should be duty free, and of such other articles on which the present duty should be reduced. The existing tariff having been 'designed generally and substantially for revenue, and for a fair and equal operation both between the various sec tions of the country and the various branches of industry the same objects should, undoubtedly, be :slept in view; ea vi the reductions, if any shall be made, should he so arranged as to afford an equal participation in the benefit to every interest and to every section. Articles which enter into our manu factures, and those which do not come into competition with American products, are those about which there will, doubt less, be the least question. Besides these objects in the pro posed reduction of the tariff of such an arrangement as will afford proportional benefit and relief to every portion and interest of the country, there is another which ought by no means to be disregarded—l mean, to obridge the labours of the Custom-houses. This object will be consulted by adding to the free list articles of general consumption and articles paying little duty, which, but for this consideration, might properly be made subjects of revenue.

The guilty man was discovered: through having by mis take exchanged umbrellas with- his victim. It is added that "on the tonsure of the- murdered man the letters 'M. J.' were cut. They are the initials of ' Mary and Jesus,' and it is a common belief in the province that, if a priest be suddenly killed, the- cutting of these letters on his tonsure will save him from- damnation. It is believed that they were cut by a priest from a feeling of charity."

Under any circumstances in which, an, English minister should feel himself justified in interposing his good offices, it was not likely that his represenUstions should be without effect ; but when, as in the present case, his interference was supported by public opinion, not only in his own country,, but throughout the civilised world, the result will not excite surprise. —Morning Post. A FEMALE CHIMNEY SWEEP.—A woman named: Duhamel was on Saturday placed at the bar of the Tri bunal of Correctional' Police on the charge of vagabondage. " What is your occupation ?" said the President. " A chimney-sweeper."' What ! a woman ?" " Yes ;- and why not ? There- are men who make shirts, so that a woman may be allowed to sweep chimneys. Besides, you see I wear maiis- clothes." " You have no regular resi dence ?" " I have one at Bondy." " Inquiries have-been made about yon there, but nobody knows you." "No doubt you asked- for me as a woman, though I am only known as a man. And lam not a lazy fellow, either, I can tell you. During the summer, when there- were no, chimneys to, sweep, I occupied myself in harvest work, and did more work than the men." As, however, the good character which the woman gave herself did not relieve her from the charge against her, she was condemned to a month's imprisonment. REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM PRIBOX.—About three weeks ago a convict, named James Dunn, escaped in an ingenious, manner from the Sing Sing prison. He made his way under water from the prison to a point about a mile distant, where he went on shore, and could not afterwards be found by the officers of the prison or the authorities. He did this-by means of a water-proof pipe, the lower end of which he held in his mouth, while the upper end was joined to a small bag of air which looked like a duck, and floated upon the surface of the water. By this means he breathed while he made his way slowly under water. Efforts were made bythe prisonofficers to cap ' tare him, but without avail. Learning that a number of prisoners were aware of the escape of Dunn, and were planning their own escape, theofficer of the prison resorted to a ruse to give the impression that he was caught, and was killed in the attempt to take him. A funeral took place in the prison, and a coffin filled with shavings, said to contain Dunn's body, was interred for the purpose of intimidating the prisoners. Citizens of Sine Sing hearing of this, had the coroner to make an investigation, which brought the deception to light. Information was recently gained at the prison that Dunn had been seen in the upper part of New York. On Friday evening Captain Andrews, warden of the prison ; C. C. Childs, jun., clerk of the prison';and keepers Washburn and Baker, came to the city, and having ascertained the residence of Dunn's relatives, watched the house. At eight o'clock on Satur day morning, finding the doors locked, they burst them in to search for Dunn. Meantime Dunn leaped :from the window of the second stork, and ran, but was over taken about two blocks distant from this house. He had a pistol in his hand when captured. He was taken back to Sing Sing, to finish his term of imprisonment. —New York Tribune. _ _ NEW RAILWAY' ROUND PARIS —The following is the route of the railway round Paris, which is just on the point of being completed on the west, north, and east of the capital, from Auteuil to Bercy:—This line forms two dis tinct sections, that of the west and north-east. That of the west comprises the small line to Auteuil, having its starting point in the Rue St. Lazare. After passing through the tunnel at the Batignolles, it crosses the plains of Monceaux, passes . under the village of Courcelles, and runs across the Nemlly road, near the fortifications, and then skirting the Bois de Boulogne, passes before the Chateau de la Muette at Passy, and ends at Auteuil, about 200 paces from the pond. The other sections start from the goods terminus of the Rouen Railway at the Batig nolles, passes over the road to Clichy by means of a bridge, crosses the road from the Batignolles to St. Denis, and goes across the plains of St. D en i s eas tward to the goods station of the Northern Railway at La Chapelle, Pass,e , - , under the high road from Paris to St. Dellis, crosses Plaine des Vertus, after having detached a branch li'ie to the terminus of the Strasburg Railway, passe. over the ' route de Flandres to the northward of La Ville"cte, over the canal de l'Ourcq, and over the Panda road..
