THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL PACKET did not lave
Plymouth on Wednesday, as was expected. It is most pro-
bable, therefore, that letters posted on that day will arrive
in Plymouth in time to be seat out by the packet.

OP ME COMMUNICATION WITH

INDlA.—Orders have been issued by the Emperor of Aus-
tria, that an electric telegraph be constructed between
Zara and Agratn as speedily as possible. This is a most
important undertaking, not only for the Austrian empire,
but for the whole of western Europe, as Lloyd's Levant
steamers can always touch at Zara when the Dora keeps
them from making the port of Trieste. When the telegraph
is complete, news from the east will reach England two
days sooner than is at present the case.

[Advertisement.)-LHoLLowAY's PILLS FOR rim
CCU ( r COVOUS, OMNI, ANY ASTRIIATIC COMPLAI KM—Them admi-
cable pills are the moot emcicet remedy ever discovered for the cure
of cough; colds, and mania. Some of the most obstinate cases of
diereses of the lungs and affections of tne chest have yielded to their
curative powers. They speedily remove any accumulation of phleguss
whereby the respiratory organs are permanently relieved, and olds
mately a sound and perfect cure is effected ; therefore the asthmatics
or those sufferiag from a tightness of the chest, a difficulty of breath.
ing, or a bad cough, should have recourse to these well.known pills
to ensure a radical cure.—Sold by all medicine venders, and at Pro.

ITALY.

Vienna letters of the 19th state as a rumour that
the Austrian Emperor proposed to seize on the pro-
perty of a l"rge number of emigrant Lombards,
alleging that they were engaged in designs against
his government.
The same correspondence reports the Milan arrests
as having been 300 in number, and continuing every
day. The number of individuals executed is said to
be 17. The last executions reported by the Italian
papers, those of the 14th, it may be remembered,
brought the number up to 13.
Advice% from Venice inform us that on the night
of the 14th a number of persons were arrested as
they were in the act of stnpping the walls of Ha-
detzsky's proclamation.

TURKEY AND MONTENEGRO.
On the 21st, as we learn by telegraph, it was
rumoured at Vienna, and generally credited, that the
French government had proffered its mediation on
the differences now existing between Austria and the
Porte, and that at Constantinople this offer had been
accepted. It will be remembered that the Paris
Moniteur announced a fortnight since, that, as far as
Montenegro was concerned, a pacific settlement
would be attempted by the French government.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

......
Mr. GREGSON begged to ask the President of the Board
of Trade, if he had any plan in operation or in prepara-
tion for the pupae of obtaining and circulating periodical
returns on the statistics of agriculture.
Mr. CARD WELL said he was then about to lay on the
table returns prepared by the Bighland Society of Swtland
and their Secretary, Mr. Maxwell, which had been obtained
with the concurrence of nearly every tenant farmer in Roc-
burghshire, Sutherlandebire and Haddingtonshire, with re.
gard to the produce of their crops, and other agricultural
statistics. The plan had, therefore been began in Scotland,
under most favourable auspices. With regard to England,
his right hon. friend the President of the Peor-law Board.
had put himself in communication with Sir John Walsham,
with a view to returns from Norfolk, and he was also in
communication with Mr. Weals, with regard to Red-
ford, so that he hoped next year the results of inquiries
which were made would be seen.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Mr. LAYARD begged to in uire of the government on
what day the noble lord themember for London would
give the explanation en the Eastern question to the house
which he had promised some days ego.
Lord PALMERSTON was unable to answer the qua-
tion at the present moment. His noble friend would re-
turn to town to-morrow, and perhaps the hon. gentleman
would communicate with him privately before Monday.

In the present state of the money market, this re-
turn exhibits changes of considerable significance,
and fully confirmatory of the views to which we have
given expression. The large falling off in the Bank's
stock of gold, in face of heavy Australian supplies,
attests the magnitude of the drain to the Continent,
to which we have of late made an especial point of
drawing attention. The large increase in private se-'
clarifies shows that the Bauk is at length meeting
with ordinary commercial business, owing to the
rates out of doors having now become approximated
to its own. Simultaneously with this, we find that

the Bank has further reduced its stock of government
securities. The reports connected with the move-
ment in this item were referred to by us in the week
iu question. On the whole, this return is not of a
reassuring character.

AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTURAL COMPANY.

A special court of proprietors was held yesterday,
at the °Mess in Cannon-street, for the election of a director
in the room of Mr. Stewart hfojaribanka, resigned. The
Chairman, Mr. Brownrigg, moved that Mr. William
Wallace be elected a director in the room of Mr. Majori-
banks, which was agreed to. In reply to a question by a
shareholder, the Chairman stated that no other property
had been leased except that of the Peel River Company.
The land of that company had not cost quite 21. an sc..,
and he believed that the surface land alone, without re-
ference to its mineral wealth, fully represented the value of
the property. It was only quite recently that they sold half
an acre of the land in Tainworth Township for 1001. Mr.
Rodernheimen, an eminent mineralogist, had been sent out
to inspect and report upon the mineral wealth of the coup
palsy. The collieries were in a satisfactory position, and he
hoped to have agreeable information to communicate at the
general meeting, in January next.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE
MARKETS.

MINCING-LANE, SATURDAY MORNING.
There has not been much animation in the colonial mar-
kets, and some kinds of produce have declined in value.
The public sales of Sugar at the commencement of the week
went cff flatly, but yesterday there waa more spirit, and full
rates were obtained ; considerably sales of foreign sihat
have been made during the week. There haa not been
much Coffee offered at auction, but privately a fair busi-
ness has been done. Rice has been sold at rather lower
, price.. Saltpetre has declined fully 6d. per cwt. Tea re-
mains extremely inactive, and a lower quotation is esta-
blished for common Congou. There baa been no public
sale this week.

THE DANISH SUCCESSION.

- - -
Mr. BLACKBT T begged to ask whether the govern-
ment would have any objection to lay before parliament
such portions of the correspondence relating to the =mis-
sion to the Danish crown as can be communicated without

detriment to the public service.
Lord PALMERSTON said the correspondence in ques-
tion was very voluminous, extending to about 6,000 pages
folio, and the only public inconvenience in producing it
would be the expense of printing a vast mar of cones-
pondence which was not commensurate in point
of interest, as it contained a number of details
which, however important at the time, had lost
all interest when the main question wts settled. The out-
line of the original object of this country was this, that
whereas, as things stood, the succession to the Daniels throne
was in the female line, the succession to Holstein is the
male line, and the succession to Schleswig disputed, and on
the death of the Danish King and his uncle, the sucessaion
to Denmark would fo one way, that to Holstein another,
and that to Schleswig another, it was thought important
for the interests of Europe and of England that the states
which were called in common parlance the Danish mo-
narchy should be kept together. It was necessary to obtain
a renunciation of the female succession to Denmark, of the
male succession to Holstein, and to combine the whole of
these claims in a person who possessed egos' rights to all
portions of the monarchy, and that was done by the treaty
in question. If there was any document such u that relat-
ing to the renunciation of Russia, which the hon. gentle.
man would mention, he would produce such as would satisfy
his wishes without going to the expense of producing them
all. Perhape the hon. gentleman would specify any docu-
ment he wished.

Mr. DLACKETT said the only one he could mention
was the circular of the Danish Minister for Foreign
Affairs of last May ; but ►e would communicate with the
noble lord. .

The orders of the day were thee proceeded with.

LAW OF EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL.
This bill was road a third time.

On the motion Ant the bill do pas,
Mr. J. S. WORTLEY drew attention to the fact that
by this bill wives were made competent witnesses in civil
cases where their husbands were concerned, end he urged
that the same principle should be extended to criminal
cases, contending that there was often as much involved as
regarded a husband's interest in civil as criminal cases. He
hoped the subject would be dealt with next year, as well as
that of substituting affirmations for oaths in cases of reli-
gious scruples; and which the Attorney-General had inti-
' mated his intention of including is this bill.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL intimated that the sub-
ject would meet with the attention of the government, as
well as many others suggested in the report of the Common
Law Commissioners.

he thought was to be attributed in a great measure to the
gold discoveries in Australia. With regard to the port of
Liverpool, there were features of • peculiar character.
The sands were cuustan,ly shifting, and it was impossible
for any person whu was not educated a pilot, and who was
I not constantly on the spot, to know or keep up a knowledge
of the Channel. The shipping interest there were in
alarm at this bill. No lex than 39,000 vessels had entered
in and gone out of the port of Liverpool within the last six
months, and under the present system only three casualties
had occurred. Now, however, they wen/going to put the'
' pilotage into the hands of persons who might be absent
II from the port for months together, and who could not'
therefore keep up • knowledge of the Channel.
After a conversation,
The Earl of HARROWBY objected to the measure being
extended to Liverpool, and maid that not only the pilots, but
the underwriters, merchants, and shipowners of that port
bad petitioned against it.
Lord STANLEY defended the bill as it stood.
The bill was then read • second time.

SALE OF AUSTRALIAN LAND.
Sir G. GOODMAN
.begged to inquire of the Under-
Secretary for the Colonies, if it would not be desirable that
increased facilities should be given for the sale of land in
the Australian colonies?

Mr. PEEL had no hesitation in saying that it was de-
sirable that every proper and practicable facility should be
given for the acquisition of land in the Australian colonies.
He understood the hon. gentleman to contemplate a reduc-
tion in the upset price of land. At present, the price was
fixed by set of parliament, and he wee not aware that it
was too high, as at sales by auction land fetched
11. an acre. A proposition had been made by the govern-
ment to the Australian legislature which if accepted would
leave it to the legislature to decide on the price at which land
was to be sold.

MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL.

On the order of the day for going into committee on this
bill,
Lord COLCHESTER pride some general observations,
complaining that under the measure an undue disadvantage
would accrue to the British sailer in competition with the
foreign semen. The noble lord concluded by moving the
omission of the clause.

After a few words from Earl WALDEGRATE,
The Earl of HARDWICK E objected to any interference
with the coasting trade of the country.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH regretted that a bill of
such great importance sbouid have been brought up at a
time when all discussion was impossible. The effect of the
measure would be most dangerous upon a class of men
upon whom the efficiency of the naval service mainly de-
pended, for it would iutroduce foreigners into the coasting
trade upon whom we must rely for the manning of our
navy.
The house then went into committee on the bill.

Clauses from 1 to 30 inclusive were agreed to without
amendment.

Loid COLCHESTER objected to clause 31, and moved
its rejection.
The committee divided, when there appeared :
For the clause lB
Against it 6-13
The clause was accordingly agreed to, as were also the
remaining clauses of the bill, and the house resumed.

MINES.

There has not been much business to-thy in the
home mining stock market, which presents no feature
of novelty. The rise in copper is calculated to pro-
mote materially the interests of copper mining ad-
venturers. The sales reported are :—West Caradon,
at 2271; • Wheal Margaret, 100; Eaglebrook, 93 ;
West Providence, 32,1 ; East Margaret, 10i, 11 ;
Mill Pool, 6 ; Wheal Lemon, 2i, 3 ; Wheal Speed-
well, 3.
The gold mining shares were rather flatter to-day,
several descriptions closing at a slight reduction.
At 4 o'clock Colonial Gold were quoted 7-16 to
9-16 prem.; Great Nugget, to I prem. ; British
Australian, to 1 dis.; Port Phillip, •;,' to die.;
Agua Fria, 9-16 to 11-16 prem. ; Nouveau "Monde,

The Imperial Brazilian and National Brazilian
shares were less actively dealt in, and showed a
little weakness. Cobre Copper shares, on the other
hand, were buoyant, and rose 2/. per share. Those
of the Mexican and South American Company rose
10s. United Mexican shares were flat. Metcalfe
Copper shares were a shade firmer on the meeting,
but were last quoted only I to 1 prem. Pontgiband

AMERICA.

(BY ELECTRIC

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
This morning the United States Mail steam-ship
Atlantic, Captain Comstock, arrived at our port, with
the usual maihi from the United States and British
North America. The Atlantic sailed from New York
on the 29th ult., and has brought, besides the mails,
about 100 passengers and 500,000 dollars in specie
on freight.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, from hence,
arrived at Boston on the 26th ult.

The United States Mail steam-ship Hermann, from
Bremen and Southampton for Now York, had put
into Provincetown short of coal.

By the arrival at New York from St. Juan of the
United States mail steamer we have advicee from
Califotuia to the Ist of October. The steamer had
3,000,000 dole, on freight, and in the hands of pas-
sengers.
'the principal topic of Californian news, apart
from items of a kindred character to those published
on the arrival of each mail from thence, is the intel-
ligence that a private expedition had been organised,
' and was preparing to start from San Francisco, to
take forcible possession of the province of Sonora
from the Mexicans.
The condition of business matters at New York was
far from satisfactory. Money continued very tight,
and was quoted at 12 to 24 per cent. Stocks were
also feverish and uncertain.
The cotton market is reported brisk, with a good
average amount et business doing, and prices hare
slightly advanced, as will be seen by the following
`quotations:—New Orleans mid. fair to fair, 114 c. toi
12c. per lb.; Uplands, 101 e. to 11c.
The market for breadatuffs was quiet, with little
change from former prices. Western Canal flour
ruled steady at 6 dole. 62 to 6 dole. 63c.; Oen-
ncssc prime wheat, 1 dol. 54e. to 1. dol. 60c. per
; Indian corn, round yellow, steady at 78c. to 80c.
per bushel.

Provisions had experienced a fair demand, and
prices continued to maintain themselves with firm-
ness.

Little change had taken plan either in the de-
mand or the rates of freight. The asking rates at
the steamer's departure were :—uotton, to Liverpool,
Id. to 5-I6d. per lb.; grain, Is. Id. to Is. 11d. per
bushel ; flour, 3s. 6d. to 3s. 9d. per barrel.
Exchange os London was firm at 1091 to 1091;
Paris, 5.111 to 5.131; Hamburg, 361 to 37.

THE EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS AT

CHATHAM.

_••^-

The unfortunate woman, Mrs. Henniker, who was
so seriously injured by an explosion whilst engaged with
her three sous in making fireworks, on Wednesday last,
died on the same night. An inquest was held on the body,
on the following evening, by Mr. Hills.
The jury returned the following verdict:—" That the
deceased met her death Irons the accidental explosion of the
preparation of gunpowder used in the making of fireworks;
and that the Jury consider the practice of making and
selling fireworks iu dwelling-houses to be most reprehen-
sible.'
At the conclusion of the inquest, the jury requested the
coroner to embody his remarks in a letter, and forward it
to the county magistrates, and this the coroner promised
to do.
The remains of Mrs. Henniker and her son, Peter, who
also died on Thursday evening, were buried on Monday,
the funeral :procession exciting deep interest as it wended
its way to the burial-ground. The young.st son, Albert,
it is feared, will lose the use of his land•, the explosion
taking effect on the front port of his person. William, the
eldest son, still lies in a state of great suffering, though the
medical men hope his case will not terminate fatally. Mr.
Henniker, as may be expected, has suffered mach from
anguish and distress of mind.

" The loss on the Turkish side is not known.

" 4,000 Turks occupy Kalarache, 2,000 have esta-
blished themselves on an island in front of Giur-
gevo, and 12,000 are in Lesser Wallachia."

TUESDAY NIGHT.

From the 4'h to the sth the Turks occupied the
island near Oltenitza, and crossed unobserved to
Wallachia at dawn. When seen, a battle ensued,
which lasted 28 hours. The result is unknown.

It is rumoured that Giurgevh was taken by storm.
WEDNZIIDAY MOUNING.

Accounts from Bucharest report a battle and 14
superior Russian officers killed. The Turks remained
masters of the field, and the Russians were retreating
on Bucharest.

A report wu current at Vienna on Thursday that
Russia had renewed direct intercourse with Turkey,
and that negotiations of peace had commenced. Ac-
cording to another version, the negotiations were of
a preliminary character, and had an armistice for
their object. The news, which had no pretensions to
official authenticity, was said to have been received
from Bucharest. The rise of the rumour in ques-
tion coincides with the appearance of an article in a
well-known continental organ of Russia, in which
fresh negotiations are announced, and Bucharest is
designated as their centre.

VIENNA. Nov. 7.

The government Gazette announces that Prince
Ghat', hospodar of Moldavia, resigns his regency to
a council of administration, and is on his way to
Vienna via Czernowitz. The Russian General Um-
roff, it is said, will take on himself the government of
the principality.
Prince Stirbey left Bucharest immediately after
being summoned by Prince Gortschakoff to take an
active part on the side of Russia.
The Bucharest Zeitung, printed under the eyes of
the Russian military authorities, states the number
of soldiers sick and in hospital to be 12,000.

BERLIN, Nov. 6.

Upon the failure of the English note, the Prussian
government has resolved to attempt a mediation,
and has transmitted definite proposals for that pur-
pose to London and Paris.

GUILDHALL.

Mary Anne Thompson, :4ophis Bariger, and &stab
Clark were placed at tie bar before Alderman Lawrence
charged with stealing a Geneva watch and a purse con-
taining 10s. from tne person of a gentleman who was de-
scribed in the police-sheet as W. Renee., accountant, 5,
Drunamond•rea.l, Blue Anchor-road, Bermondsey."
Alderman Lawrence—Where is the prosecutor ?
Officer (pointing to a gentleman sitting near the table)—
That gentleman is the prosecutor, your worship.
The gentleman (in great astonishment)—lt must be a
mistake. I know nothing of the case.
Alderman Lawrence—Who gave the prisoners into cus-
tody ?
Officer—That gentleman, your worship. (Laughter.)
The gentleman—lt's a singular ease of mistaken identity;
but 1 have not the slightest knowledge of any of the parties,
and I thought it very strange when, as I entered the outer
door of the court, a woman addressed me on the same
subject.
. . _

Alderman Lawrence—Do you think, officer, you might
ha►e made any mistake ?
Officar—Uh, no, your worship, I am quite sure that was
the gentleman who gave the prisoners in cha►ge.
Alderman Lawrence—Will you favour us with your
name, sir ?

The gentleman—Certainly. It is Whitehead ; but I
should wish the officer to look well at me, for he is cer-
tainly in error, and I should not like it to go forth that I
um the party is this case.
Aluerman Lawreoce—Well, that is not the name on the
police Sheet, BO we will iato the case in the absence of
the prosecutor.
Mr. Knight, of 19, Dorchester-atreet, New North-road—
said—The prosecutor is a friend of :aloe, and is not at all
like that gentleman. 1 was with the prosecutor last night
in t cab, in which the prisoners were also, znd my friend
lost hie purse and his watch.

in of the new Lord Mayor.
Alderman Wit.som said—This being the first court since
her Majesty's commissionen base met to comment* their
inquiry into the matter of corporatOol reform, I think if no
allusion be made to the subject the Public may naturally
cowl lee that the allegations and motel ens mode before the
commission may be true. I do not weal to introduce or
occasion any doctission on the question, for I do not think
that this is the time or this the place for noticing it. (Hear,
hear.) I merely ask the public to mait a, to their th Ci.iOu
until both sides have been heard. A time will came when
the Court of Aldermen will have their turn to be heard,
and I have no doubt that they will ba able to give a must
satiefoctory answer. Many of the catements are so sheeted
sad preposterous that very few persons can believe them,
or indeed pay any attention to them. (Hear, hear.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Gilmore, a private in the Artillery, was charged
with having defrauded several licensed victuallers by means
of forged billets.
The following case was brought forward :
Elizabeth Loa ier, daughter of Jane Loader, licensed vic-
tualler, 119, Tottenham Court-road. said the prisoner came
to the bar the previous night and offered what appeared to
be a billet for two soldiers, to be billeted in the house fur
seven nights. The prisoner told her the billet was quite
correct. Witness asked the prisoner bow much he could
get a bed for out of the house. He replied 8.1., and witness
believing the billet to be genuine, gave him 9s. 4d.' which
was the presumed charge fur two beds at Bd. per bed for
seven nights. The prisoner signed a receipt for the money
on the back of the billet.

Police Constable Hackles, 191 F, said the prisoner was
given into his custody on aucher charge, and he was then
taken to the station house. . .

William Green billeting sergeant at the Albany bar-
racks, said the bidet given to the witness Loader was not in
his handwriting.
The prisoner was remanded.
WORSHIP-STREET.
- - .

Mr. Edwin Jamea, Q.G , was summoned for having re-
fused to pay the sum of 2e. 6d. to Demetrius Parkhurst,
cab-driver No. 1,151, for the hire of his vehicle.
Abraham l‘acoek, the defendant's servant, appeared to
answer the summons. _

Complainant stated that on the nth ult. he took the
defendant, with his servant, from his residence, 63, Pall-
mall, to the Shoreditch station, in order to catch the eight
o'clock train. Complainant being somewhat impeded at
the station by the vehicles before hint, the defendant
jumped out and ran with his servant into the booking-
office. Complainant waited twenty minutes, expecting him
to return, but seeing no more 01 them he went back t)
Pall-mall. Mr. James's female servant desired him, how-
ever, to call again the next day, when her master would
be at home. Witness did so, and saw Peacock of whom be
demanded his fare. Witness said he was entitled to 2a. fur
the distance and 61. for waiting, but he should also expect
an additional Gil. for the trouble and loss cf time he bad
since incurred. Peacock, however, refused to pay him more
than the half-crown.

Peacock now explained that be bad apprised the com-
plainant on the way to the station that as he had only a
sovereign with him he must ask Mr. lames far the fere,
and he was under the impression that he had done so.
When he saw the complainant the next day, he (Park •
burst) demanded the da., without saying anything about
the odd Gd. being for loss of time, and both he and his
master thought that 2s. M. was all he was entitled to.
Mr. D'Eyneourt said the complainant had acted through-
out with perfect fairnes-, and ordered the defendant to pay
him the 2s. Gd., awarding him also 9s. 6d. as costs.
A donation of 10/., from "C. D." for the poor-box, was
received through the medium of Messrs. Rogers, Olding,
and Sharpe.
