WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY.

There is very little doing in foreign Wool, manufacturers
in the country being well supplied with the Wools bought
at the German fairs and the late public sales. Prices aro
very firm and the stock in second hands very small. Trade
in the manufacturing counties is very good,and there is every
prospect of hands being fully employed through the winter,
with provisions cheap fur the labouring man and his family.
Messrs. W. Oreame and Co.notice the Liverpool market as fol-
lows, in their Monthly Circular :—" The activity noticed in
the Wool trade at the date of our last report has been
maintained throughout the past month, and the favourable
result of the late public sales in London has tended to in-
crease the firm tone of the market. On the 20th ult. 3,500
bales Spanish, frontier, East India, and sundry low Wools
were offered hero by public auction; the chief feature
to remark in these sales was the very active demand
for East India and other blanket Wools, which sold at id.
to id. advance on late sales in London. We have no im-
provement to notice in English- combing Wools. Laid
Scotch continues in fair request, without change in price.
On the 12th instant about 2,000 bales will be offered by
public auction, chiefly consisting of East India and other
low foreign Wools."

TO TICE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.

Slit,—As your paper seems so much patronised by
the tradesmen of the Crystal Palace (both foreign and
English, whose works arc exhibited there), may 1 venture
to suggest, through such a medium, that if, when this
" world's wonder " is doomed to close in October, a public
sale were to take place, great advantages might thereby
accrue to all parties.
1. The public would be benefited by a little continuance
of the admission of one shilling while it lasted.
2. The exhibitors might be saved the expense of moving
many things.
3. Collectors be afforded an opportunity of adding several
articles of vertu to their horde. Among the latter is

BRAZILS.

His Majesty the Emperor Pedro 11. closed the
third session of the eighth parliament of the General
Legislative Assembly of Brazil on the 13th day of
September, 11431, in the following speech:
August and most worthy gentlemen, representatives of
the nation,—ln closing the present legislative session, I
thank you for your co-operation with my government, for
the zeal you bare shown, and fur the patriotism with.
which you have provided remedies for the public wants,
That zeal and patriotism promise the continuance of a task
the accomplishment of which is not the work of a few ses-
sions, but which will assuredly be completed with time and
pare verance. The empire enjoys perfect tranquillity, and
trust that, by the help of divine Providence, it
will not he disturbed. My government continues, and
will continue, to employ. energetic means towards
effecting a total extinction of the slave trade.
By virtue of an express authorisation from the government
of the republic of ruguay, and because the presence of
General Oribe at the head of an army in the Oriental ter-
ritory, besides endangering its independence, is incompati-
ble with the security of our frontiers of the l'rovince de S.
Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul, as also with the tranquillity
of that portion of the Empire, I ordered our army to com-
mence active operations to expel him from that
territory. I hope that the execution of this reso-
lution will effectually contribute to the solution
of those questions which have been agitated in
Rio da Plata, and to the termination of the prolonged
crisis in which it has been plunged, a crisis which, prevent-
ing a regular organisation, has perpetuated cmses which
have incommoded us for some tame, and which threaten
still more serious inconvenience for the future. August
nation,

and most worthy gentlemen, representatives of the
in taking leave of you, I icy on your proceeding through•
out the year with fresh vigour, with the difficult though
glorious task to which I called your attention at the open-
ing of the session, a task so consonant with your sentiments,
so peculiarly your own, and so worthy of you. Let all the
good which our institutions contain be practically felt, so
as to endear us to them more and more, and to secure the
happiness and the future greatness of our country. The
session is closed.

lADIBET 11.

Win. Wardell, late a seria.a."'ail the establishment of
Joseph Hayden, Esq., a msgbittilte and banker, at Guild-
ford, in Surrey, who has loan in custody since the 3rd
inst., on a charge of attempting to defraud the South Wes-
tern Railway Company of 21)1., and John Lediaise Plaistow
leipood alias Count Chabears alias the Marquis Lio St.
Maurice, were placed at the bar for final elimination, the
former or. the abovenamed charge, and the latter with hav-
ing given a false character to Wardell, by which be was en-
abled to cuter the service of Mr. Haydon.
Mr. John Owens, of 42, Fi.h-street-hill, attended u the
attorney for the Marquis De St. Maurice, and said Vie
from what he himself knew of the character of that gentle-
man he believed he was the last person who would know-
ingly or wilfully be guilty of the offence with which he was
charged, and felt convinced that the act of giving Wardell
a character was one of mere indiscretion and not of wilful
intention, and that it was done in the thorough conviction
that the party to whom the character was given was an
honest aud nu.n.
Mr. Norton said that owing to the exceedingly defective
state of the law as related to false character, the evidence
did not proce the offence; but is there was a woad scam-

SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the 12th.
The Nacion states that MM. de Miraflores, Arteta,
and Gonzales Romero will leave the cabinet, and be
replaced by MM. Florento, Benavides, and Gonzales
Bravo. The same journal informs us that the Queen
has addressed an autograph letter to the inhabitants
of Cuba,expressice of the pleasure that their loyal con-
duct has given to her. The government, it is added,
has ordered that 6,000 percussion muskets, and 1,000
men, shall be sent to Cuba. The Herald() states that
the first conference of M. Oliveira and the President
of the Council of Ministers, on the subject of the set-
tlement of the public debt, is considered satisfactory
by M. Oliveira.
An act of great audacity was lately perpetrated
near Avila, a town about 30 leagues from Madrid,
on the road to Seville. At about nine in the morn-
ing, on a Sunday, six men, well armed and mounted,
took possession of a small inn by the roadside, and,
after having made their arrangements, stopped and
robbed every person that passed. By five in the even-
ing they had about 100 horses or mules shut up
within a narrow space, and 40 persons tied hand
and foot. They did not maltreat any one, and even
gave their prisoners some food. 'Near the close
of the day a post-chaise passed, containing two men,
ladies, and a child. They rifled these travellers com-
pletely, taking away even ladies mantles and bon-
nets. At last, when night had set in, the robbers
took their departure, carrying with them nine mules
' loaded with booty, and nearly 10,000 fr. From
some words which fell from one of them, it is con-
e jectured that they were expecting the arrival of a rich
family from Madrid, whom they intended to held to
ransom. Fortunately the expected party took somo
. other road.

TUSCANY.

The Corriere Mercantile of the 13th quotes a letter
from Florence, containing the following extraordinary
statement:—" A series of measures," according to the
letter, "are under contemplation, calculated to incor-
porate Tuscany, de facto, in the Austrian empire. The
War-office is to be suppressed, and General Ferrari,
of the Austrian staff, is to be appointed to organise
the Tuscan troops, which, it is said, he will effect
by marching themloff to Verona. The portfolio of
I Foreign Affairs is also to be suppressed, and the in-
terests of Tuscany are henceforth to be placed under
the safeguard of the Austrian embassies at foreign
courts. A large number of Tuscan officers and at-
; pomatists are to be pensioned off."

Lieut.-Gen. Durando, the new commandant-gene-
ral of the troops in the Island of Sardinia, arrived at
Cagliari on the 3rd.

Besides the et presaing influence of the coarse taken by the

on the money market, and hes produced for the present

them to operate ea freely as they have heretofore done.
Under these eircummanees the London quotations of a fall
of prices bas been more severely felt, and produced • fully

It is unders'eod that 39 of the Irish members have

Thus the t.ipoe':: ion in that quarter is being steadily.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Danish President of the Council, Count Adam
Molkte, announced to the " Things," on the 18th,
that, at the expiration of a week, lie should lay a
report before the Assembly, respecting the state of
the country; he required time to answer the inter-
rogations of M. Hansen, touchin Schleswig-Holstein
affairs, as the ministry were hardly yet settled in
their places. The question, "in what way the
ministry designed relatively to organise the different
portions of the Danish monarchy," was fixed for
discussion for the 20th inst. A debate then took
place on the report of the Flensburg notables. The
minister said that this report had already been once
under consideration, but was silent as to the views of
the government. It was remarked by a member that
two months had elapsed since this report had been
sent in, that the " Things" had sat for fourteen
days, and yet the questions involved in that docu-
ment stood still. It was finally voted, by a large
majority, that the report should be examined a
second time; but no day was fixed for so doing.

Two o'CLoox:

The week's market has opened without illsde-
velopment of particular movement in any descrip-
tion of railway shares, but the feeling is altogether
firmer, and no stock can be dealt in except at an improve-
ment on Saturday's ratty. The upward tendency
pervades the entire market, but is perhaps moat per-
ceptible in Lancashire and Yorkshires, 'London and
North Westerns, Brightens, North Stafford*, and
Great Westerns. Friday nest is settling-day in this

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-7THIS DAY.

The number of Beasts is nearly as large as of late, bt.t
there is a fulling olf in weight. Consequently the best
descriptions arc readily sold; in a few instances our top
quotations are exceeded. The supply of Sheep is short :
buyers are very unwilling to advance, owing to the state i I
the dead markets during the pest week. However, tho
number being small, prices generally are better. There is
a brisk trade for good Calves, but prices are very little
better. Front Germany and Holland, 1,278 Beasts, 5,630
Sheep, 192 Calves, and 110 Pigs; France, 80 Sheep; and
2,330 Beasts from the Northern and Midland Counties.

1 SOUTTIWARK POTATO MARKET-THIS DAT•

We have had several arrivals from Scotland since our
last report, and a few front Yorkshire, which, with a
liberal supply from Kent and ' has stocked our
market quite equal to the demand. Trade is ex-
ceedingly heavy, and very low prices are submitted to.
The York Regents arrived so late in the week that
none have yet been sold, therefore we cannot quote the
price. The following are this day's quotations: Scotch

rived yesterday at Southampton. Her dates arc—
Gibraltar, Dee. 5; Cadiz, 6th ; Lisbon, 9th ; Oporto
and Vigo, 10th.
The great want of rain in the Peninsula had caused
the most serious inconveniences. Cattle were dying
in great numbers for want of water. At Cadiz the
water-boats were besieged on their arrival, and it
was necessary to call out the military for their pro-
tection.

On the 3rd, GR,V3`2,800 rein in Dank of Libbon
notes were cancelled and burnt.

Our correspondent writes :

LISBON, DEC. 9.

At the meeting called for the 7th, to take into consi-
deration the Financial Decree of which I forwarded
you a translation, an address to the Queen was
agre.t: to, complaining of its provisions, more part i-
cularlr that part of it which refers to the capitalisa-
tion of the prospective dividends upon the (sternal
and internal debt but I understand trom the most au-
thentic source that the foreign bondholders will have
less to complain of than the home landholders, inas-
much as the former will most certainly receive in Ja-
nuary the nucapitalised dividends. for one of the
half years of 1850, and abot:t October, 1852, they
will again receive a six months' dividend for the la;t
half of that year which is not capitalisod.

BOROUGH MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Messrs. l'attenden and Smith report that there continues
a brisk demand for Sussex llops, which arc gradually ad-
vancing in price. There is also a st.andy trade for other
arts, at late prices.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.

As N usual on the annual " Great Market," we have a
good collection of fat llea;ts on sale. number is not,
however, so large as esliibittd last year, but the average
quality is very choice; trade is slow, and prices are by no
means good. The supply of Sheep is small; big Sheep aro
nut so much in request as on former occasions ; indeed, the
fancy for show things seems ta be on the decline. Sizeable
Sheep are dearer. There arc very few Calves on offer
there is not much demand, but owing to the shortness of
supply they are dearer. From Germany and Holland there
arc lot Beasts, 2,470 Sheep, and 24 Calves. Scotland, 350
Beasts. Norfolk and Suffolk, 400 Blasts; 3,200 from Lei-
cester, Northampton, and Lincoln; and 220 Sheep and 13
Calves from France.

TELEORAPHS IN THE UNITED STATE9.—The ex-
tent of telegraphs in the United States and Canada is esti-
mated at from twelve to fifteen thousand miles, and it is
increasing every day. No one not familiar with the sub-
ject, can form an adequate ides of the immense benefit
which the electric telegraph confers upon the people at
large, or of the advantage which it is to commercial and
business men generally. By its aid, the government at
Washington—tho great head of our political system—can
almost instantaneously communicate with all parts of thu
country, north, south, cast, and west. In this respect, it is
as potent as absolutism or despotism is in the Old World.
This vast country, three thousand miles long and threo
thousand broad, can be as easily managed and governed,
by the aid of the telegraph, as a single city. But the tele-
graph system in the United States is only in its infancy.
It must increase with the growth of the country; and, be-
fore twenty years, the republic will be covered with a net-
work of wires that will embrace a distance of probably fifty
thousand miles. From the time when the first wire was
laid between Baltimore and Washington, until the present,
the newspaper press has been a constant patron of the elec-
tric telegraph. It is compelled to keep up with the spirit
of progress and improvement that characterises this won-
derful age in everything. Were it not to do.sa, it would
not fulfil its mission. By the aid of the electric telegraph,
the United States can with safety extend her territory to
the farthest limits of the continent. On this side of the
Atlantic, it is the great comers ator and promoter of repub-
licanism and freedom.—Neas York Herald.

glariously entering the dwelling-house of Mr. Lloyd, a
tobacconist, residing at No. 1.52, Drury-lane, and the others,
brother and sister, with being acconsplivea. Prosecutor said
that, having closed the shop and locked up the premises on
Friday night, the family went to bed about twelve o'clock,
and at one Mrs. Lloyd was awakened by the noise of some
p..rson coining up the stairs. She aroused her husband,
who found that the shop of Mr. Barrier, a watchmaker,
which was a portion partitioned elf from his own, had been
entered from the street, and that the door was lett open,
and also the window. Ile called a policeman, and going
up stairs with the latter and Mrs. Lloyd, they found the
prisoner, Walker, lying on the upper landing-place, pre-
tending to be fast asleep. Beside him was a taper that had
recently bern alight, null on the stairs a number of lucifer
matches, which had been burnt, were fount scattered about.
Housebreaking instruments were fcund upon bins. On
being roused out of his feigned sleep, he insi,ted that he
was at home, in his lodgings, in Great Wild-street. lie
was taken into custody. The witnesses admitted that be
was drunk at the time.
Claudius Dawson, sbopman to Mr. Barrier, the watch-
maker, who does not reside on the premises, stated that at
half-past nine o'clock he locked up the shop.
The magistraV, on learning that the lot k of the shop door
was one of the commonest kind, and could be opcn,d by
any ordinary key of the fitting size, expressed surprise and
d;sapprobation that the tempting property of such a shop
should be left so unprotected.
The other prisoners were associates of Walker, and were
found lurking close by the shop of Barrier. They bad
been seen throu4hout the night near that spot.
They were all remanded.

out of the whole of thong employed at the k1r06668,
there had only been one disdained. Lord Worse Lennox
said this was • proof that in showing his seteem foe the men
of the P.atemouth terminu by iaviting them to join him at

family were frequeat travellers an the railways running into
P,etsmouth, and he had alwaye bad to notice the great
civility and attention paid to all clamed of travellers by the
camels, from the superintendent down to the poruses. As
same mark of his appreciation of these /content qualities it
wee that he did himself this pleasure of dining with *ea.
He had not a single share in any railway, and had sot the
lent interest to serve; he therefore felt at liberty to congratu-

so saischievessly got up on other lines ' • one of which, at the

Tun Mumet oN BOARD TIM SHIP KELSO.-16
the Expritss. Nqw. 25, the public were istarmed of a
most daring e.se of piracy, ic tempted by some Amt.:Jest,
seamen, on board the ship Helen, of L ,radon (the property
of Sir John Pinto, But., of &robin lane), while on a
pausge from Sus Francisco to Chios. The ship wu
supposed to have on hosed an immerse amount of gold dust,
and prior t 3 her sailing from Ban Franeisco, a plan was
cueocted for taking the ship and acuminating the muter
and officers, by a gang of desperate wretches whom the
commander engaged to work the ship in place of those of this
e•ew who had run off to Coe digging.. The ship had run •
full third of her voi ag• before the attack was male—
' providently, the master having become aware of the
murderous design of the wretches by the laCrifiA of two of
the principals who were shot dead by the Captain, the ship,
and his men, and officers were used. The trial of the ring.
leaders has sines taken place at Singapore, when they were
convicted and sentenced to transportation for life.
