Letters from Malta announce the receipt of intelli-
gence from Trebizond to the 19th of Sept, up to
which date the cholera, which bad manifested itself
in that town on the night of the Bth, and had, up to
the 15th. b. . n rapidly spreading, but afterwards de-
clining, had carried off 133 out of 360 attacked.
This disease had also broken out, at the close of Aug.,
in Bagdad, where, on the Ist of Sept, out of 16
attacks, 6 had proved. fatal ; but at Kars and Erze-
room, on the 4th idem, it had nearly ceased, leaving
only a few isolated cases of a mild type. The Austrian
steam-packet Stambool, which arrived at Constanti-
nople from Trebizond on the 21st of Sept, with 256
passengers, had had three cases on the voyage, of
which two died, and the third was not likely to sur-
vive. She was ordered to ride out a quarantine of
ten days in the Dardanelles.

The pressure for money in Liverpool conflates unabated,
and, though comparatively few failures have taken place, we
fear our traulnes are not by any mean, over. On Saturday
a memorial, which originated with the American Chamber
of Commerce, by for 'lgnatius in the Exchange-room, and
soon teethed the signatures of a vast Wily of merchants
" and shipowners. We sohjoin a copy of the document. We
understand that a highly rtspectable deputation will forth-
with proceed with this memorial to London, and, in order
to give due weight and importance to the representations of
the merchants, they have formally requemed Mr. W. Brown,
M.P. for tee county, and Sir. Carl well, AL P. far the bwough,
to attend att m on the presentation of the memorial to Lord
Jnho !Lomeli. We understand that Sir Birch may pas-
sibly have arrived from the Continent, in which case the hon.
baronet will oleo accompany the deputation •

The memorial of the under•ignrd hankers, merchants, trader.,
and others, inhabitants of Liverpool,
ghoweth.—•flue your mcmoe:dist• beg respectfully to represent to
your lord-hip the yreaent tiepins-able condition of the trade, tom-
= roe, and nenufaciures of the country, rind the imperative neer.-
aity for such immediate relief as it may be in the power of the go-
vernment to afford. Produce of every description i• only saleable in
small quantities, and at an enormous trainee. Bills of exchange,
aod the man valuable emeriti., are unconvertible into cash, even at
great deprecistion, except in the most insignificant amounts. Foreign
orders for volute and goons cannot be executed for want of the etas-
tranary focdoir. for disposal of bills drawn against them. Contdenoe
iv all but annihilated, lint the currency of the country in a great
measure withdrawn and hoarded.
It is needle., on thin occasion, to inquire by what combinntion of
tact,: thi. ....m.cotable state of affairs has been brought about: a
ends of tun ara!kled severity exit., and your re.emorialins believe
that it is lu the poser of the government to allay alarm and restore
conEdersoe by coining to the relief of the cam. mid and manufac-
turing dn.es by a temporary advance on the credit of the country.
Your memorialots inlinve it in not only the duty but the intermit
of Km-eat:mit to award relief, inasmuch an they confidently
be:wve that t!.e utter proatrunon of the manufacturine and com-
mercial mtecerts cannot otherwise be prevented, whereby the
LaNretrinr population will be immtvFately thrown out of employment,
and an amount of misery and destitution will be wltuesned unexampled
In the snook of the country.

the present pr.-sure be not relieved, merchants and other traders, of
undoubted relattability.—who arc not only salient, but rich, and

ACCIDENT AT AN IRON FottignaY.—On Friday, as
five men employed at the iron foundry of Mr. Mahon, at
Manchester, wen working a travelling crane (such u is used
by atone masons) oa two elevated wooden beams, to lift some
girders for a railway bridge, cue of the beams suddenly broke
under the immense weight thfy were moving, and they were
precipitated, along with the crane, to the earth. One of the
men (James Moon) was so severely hurt that he survived
the accident only a few hours. Three others were conveyed
to the infirmary, with but slight hopes of recovery ; but the
'fifth man, strange to say, escaped without the slightest injury
They fell a depth of about twenty feet. It is believed that
the beam was strong enough for the purpose, with ordinary
care, but the men had not attached the slinging chain, so as
to prevent a slip, and the sudden jerk thus produced snapped
the balk of timber in two.

MONEY MARKET 8.: CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o' Clock.—Without any special reports or news
of an unfavourable character which might be sup-
posed to influence prices, the funds have regularly
and gradually declined from the opening of the mar-
ket. Consols were first quoted 80.4 to 14 money, and
81; tot for account. They drooped by one-eighths
down to rot to 4 money, and 814- to ; for account. The
cause to be assigned fur this downward movement
appears to he quite unconnected with speculation, for
it is the constant succession of sales of money stock
which has depressed prices. A report is current that
these sales were for account of the Scotch banks, but
we are inclined to believe it without founda-
tion. It is more probable that, if for banks at
al:, these soles were for the country banks, who may
have found it desirable to strengthen their position.
The discouraging reports still current about a Liver-
pool bank tend als3 to dispirit the market. and
it is not improbable that the stock selling may be
for its account and assistance. To complete the
gloom of the market, the Bank broker is a seller of
Eschequerltills and money stock alas, which would
appear to show that the drain of dividend paying
has oblii.,ed the establishment to fortify its reserve too
much encroached upoa its consequence. Another
report, however, is that the sales for the Bank con-
sist of stock pledged, which the owners are unable
to redeem. Consols have now declined to 81 to
4 for account, and 80t to .4 money. Reduced Threes,
