TO CORRESPONDENTS.
THE number of STAMPS issued to the DAILY NEWS
by the authorities of the Stamp-office, during the year 1847,
was :
From JAN'. 1, 0 Dec. 31, 3,447,009
This, we believe, is within eight per cent. of the number
issued to the Morning Herald, Morning Chronicle, and
Morning Poet, ALL PUT TOOETHER.

In addition to the above, issued to the DAILY NEWS,
Mornino pertere were issued for the Evening Edition,

From Jsv. 1, to DEC. 31 778,714
Which was more, we believe, than were issued either to the

the EXCHEQUKR, and a more able hand may be
employed against next session to redress the mis-
takes of this. The country., however, must not
trust to new arrangements of the cabinet for redress,
but take the business into its own bands. Between
this and tho re-assembling of parl.ament much will
have to be done by the associations for financial
reform. The state of utter confusion and dilapida-
tion into which the national finances are obviously
drifting imperatively calls upon them to be op and
doing.

The statement made by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, when announcing the diplomatic appoint-
ments, published yesterday, as reported in the Cologne
Gazette, contains an intimation of some consequence,
omitted in the report of the Frankfort paper from
, which we derived our information. " With reference
to the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein I have to state
that the Under Secretary of State, Max Von Gagern,
has been despatched to Itendsburg, to watch the pro-
gress of affairs on the spot, w th a view to the retlisa-
tion of the wishes of ministers."

AUSTRIA--A correspondent of the Allgemeine
Zeitung describes the presentation of the diplomatic
corps to the Emperor and Empress on the 16th inst.,
at Sehonbrunn. The most important part of the nar-
rative is that which relates to the presentation of the
Freni h resident minister, M. de la Cour. In point of
fact, France had at that time no accredited minister
in Vienna, the French repub:ican government not
having been officially recognised by the Emperor.
On this ground M. de la Cour hesitated to accompany
his diplomatic brethren. The Austrian ministers, how-
ever, urgently requested that he would, assuring
him that the recognition of his government was all
but formally decided by the cabinet. The French en-
voy was received with a marked friendliness by the
Emperor and Empress which appeared ra' her to
surprise some of the other ministers. At the close of
the conversation which they held with him, the Em-
peror said with marked emphasis," Vous savez cue
VOUb Cites tout-it-fait reconnu ici tnaintenant."

narrate the facts of the case, stating_ that Martin and Faulk
nor lived at • gambling-house, at No. 2, Bennett-street, St.
James's, and detailing the circumstances connected with the
interview at Hatchett'a Hotel, and explaining that in an a

restora.ion of the bills. The 1001. w.is of course gone ; but
the present suit sought to upset the warrant of attorney, and
he hoped that the jury would by its verdict show that those
gentlemen who "stand in" themselves, hut take in others,
would not be p: emitted to do so with impunity.
Evidence was gone into at great length in support of the
&large, and the learned judge having summed up, the jet y,
without leaving the box, returned a verdict for the plaintiff.

RAILWAY NEWS._

On Saturday we had a general fall of prices in the
railway market, with rates so variable and varying,
and such an almost total absence of real business, that
none worthy of confidence, and as a guide to trans-

be disposed of on any terms.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Pen. 15.
Lord Clarendon has just intimated to the Royal
Flax Improvement Society of Ireland, whose centre
of operations is Belfast, that the sum of 1,000/. will
be at the disposal of the directors, to enable them to
carry out the objects of the society in encouraging
the growth of flax. It is well known that the soil of
Ireland is well adapted for its cultivation, and that
any extensive growth of the plant will not only afford
employment to agricultural labourers, but to artisans
also; while at the same time the mercantile interests
of the empire will be advanced, and England become
less dependent for linens and linen yarns on other
states.
The discussion on the point reserved in the case of
the convicts Butler and llourigsm for the murder of
I'atrick Cleary, occupied the judges up to a late hour
yesterday evening, eleven of their lordships being
present. Chief Justice Doherty was absent. The
final decision of the majority was to uphold the sen-
tence, seven being in favour and fonr against it. It
was stated the minority consisted of the Chief Baron,
Judge l'errin, Ilaron Richards, and Judge Ball. The
17th inst. is the day named for the execution of the
prisoners.
The trial of Mr. Mason, late accountant of the
Board of Works, has created very great sensation in

The report in the Newry Telegraph shows the proceedings
to have been noisy and interrupted. Some hits were inter

THE BISHOP OF OXFORD AND DR.

HAMPDEN.
Sir,—Having seen in the Tines of yesterday an
alhuion to my name by the Provost of Oriel in his reply to
the Bishop of Oxford, with reference to the postcript of the
Bishop of Hereford's letter to me, I would request the favour
of your inserting the following explanation why that letter
(a copy of which I herewith enclose) appeared before the
It is incumbent en me frankly to confess that I took upon
myself, without the knowledge of his lordship, the responsi-
bility of publishing his letter. Ido not deny that his lord-
ship s warm approval of the part I teak in the stone altar
contemn at the Round Church might have drawn out some-
thing of the proud feelings of my heart ; but I declare that
my ardent zeal for the Protestant cause was the real motive
that actuated me in the printing of that letter.
I rejoiced so much at the premier's appointment of Dr.
Hampden to the episcopal bench—whose liberal views and
undaunted opposition to tractarianism I humbly believe to
be the very blessing required by our church at this eventful
period—that I could not refrain from making his lordship's
noble declaration publicly known.—l remain, sir, yours
obediently, R. R. FAULIENZa.

FRIDAY EvzNINO. 1
The generally encouraging nature of the accounts'
this morning from nearly all parts of the continent
imparted a more cheering tone to the stock market,
and the funds opened in advance upon the prices last
marked yesterday. Consols, from 864-, at which the
first bargains were done, rose to 864, but so remained
for a short time only. A sale of 50,000/. for account
reduced the quotations at once per cent., and
they subsequently declined still further to 83a to 6

referred to, although not of particular magnitude, had

PENINSULAR MAILS,

By the arrival at Southampton, this day, of the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Iberia,
Capt. Burney, Lieut. Langton, Admiralty agent, we
have dates from Gibraltar to the 26th ; Cadiz, the
27th; Lisbon, the 29th, and Oporto end Vigo the
30th ult. The Iberia brings 48 packages of bullion
and specie.
On the 26th Oct. Sir Robert Wilton, governor of
Gibraltar, received a communication from the vice-
consul at Malaga, stating that, in consequence of the
cholera morbus prevailing in England, the board of
health of that town had come to the deter-
mination of imposing fifteen days' quarantine
upon all veseele coming from the infected
porta ; and that, where cases of disease existed on board
a vessel, she must proceed to Port Mahon, there to
undergo a rigid quarantine. As Gibraltar is depend-
ant on Spain for its chief supply of provisions, the
board of health at this latter place have been forced'
to come to the same determination; and, from hence-
forth, all passengers arriving from England at Gibral-
tar will be obliged to perform 15 days' quarantine ;
and a hulk is to be prepared, by the agent of
the Peninsula, packets, for the rue/Pion of the
same. Sir R. Wilson bon howovort written to
the governor of Algesiru, requesting that the
quarantine may be reduced to seven days, but
with very little prospect of success. Quarantine
will in future be imposed upon all vessels arriving
from England at Lisbon, varying from seven to fif-
teen days, according to the description of cargo and
state of health of the crew and passengers. The
Iberia was not admitted to pratique, either on her out-
ward or homeward voyage, at Vigo, which is the only
port at which she met with any obstacle from the au-
thorities. On her return voyage, the passengers and
cargo were transferred to a vessel prepared to melee
them, the former to undergo three days' quarantine
(of observation).
The political news from Portugal is of little im-
portance. The Corde de Thomar had left Lisbon for
Madrid, on a special mission. Exchange at Lisbon,

ITALY.

The National Soreisien, of the 30th Mt., states that
in the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Turin of
the 27th, the ministry bid nearly received a check in
the shape of a vote of censure. '1" minister had been
led to avow that, when on the 16th August M. de
Revel rigned the acceptation of the basis of the Anglo-
Frenoh mediation, he was still the only minister, the
cabinet not having yet been formed. The opposition
then contended that Id. de Revel could not constitu-
tionally take upon himself the responsibility of a
whole cabinet. The chamber, however, voted the
order of the day on the incident by a majority of 79
to 62.

The Corner* Mercantile of Genoa, of the 28th ult.,
announces that an insignificant demonstration took
plans in that town the day before, in favour of
an Italian constituent assembly. Cries of " Viva
Montanelli a Guerrarsi !" were heard, mingled with
't Down with the ministry ! We want war !"
The Currier* Mercantile of Genoa of the 27th ult.,
quotes correspondence from Milan of the 26th. an-
nouncing that great agitation reigned in the Valtel-
lina ; that Chi•venna lied risen; and that one of the
brothers Dolaini, at the head of 600 or 800 men, had
made {4e Austrian garrison prisoners, and proclaimed
the rephblio. Hs wanted to destroy des military road
of Lecoo, and fortify himself near the Lake of Como ;
but the inhabitants of Chiavenna, perceiving them-
selves unsupported, begged Dolzim to give up his
enterprise.

AUSTRIA.
LATEST FROM VIENNA.

Our correspondent, writing from Berlin on the 31st
October, rys "In the extraordinary supplement of
the Denteche Reform, of this day, it is stated
that, up to the 29th, afternoon, the combat at
Vienna still continued. Windisgratz bad taken several
suburbs. Negotiations were resumed, but the result
bad not transpired. On the 28th the imperialists
commenced the attack upon those suburbs from which
the least opposition was expected. Windisgrats
had openly afforded the citizens of Vienna the op
tunity of assembling in the suburbs which halted
captured in order that they might separate themselves
from the armed population.
Ths following paragraph appears in the Berliner
Zritung-Halle of this night : " Vienna, Oct. 27.
Windischgratz has issued a proclamation to the effect
that as tho 48 hours' truce had expired, he would no
longer rest satisfied with the former conditions, but
would require the heads of General liem,
Palsky, and Dr. Schulte, and would make every
homeowner responsible for whatever occurred on his
premises. Should • shot be fired from any house, or
an attack be made from it on the imperial troops, all
the persons found in it should be put to the sword
and the house itself burned. In reply to this pro-
clamation, Dr. Schutte, the well-known agitator, has
set a price of 2,000 gold ducats on the head of
Windischgratz.
According to the Schkaische Zeit ang the Hungarian
landsturm has "broken out," and on the 27th and 28th
thousands, armed with pikes, had entered upon the
Austrian territory ; the Jager corps during the attack
on the first barricade in Vienne, had lost 1,350 men.
During the whole of the day of the 28th the city was
bombarded.
Quarter to 9,', P.M., all this evening and up to the
present time, an immense crowd (manybearing torches)
have been and is standing near the locale of tho con-
stituent assembly, which is still discussing a motion
to the effect that the cause of the people
of Vienna be declared to be that of Germany in
general ; and that the latter be aided in their pa,
triotie endeavours. Yesterday the Assembly voted
the abolition of the nobility as a separate caste, and
prohibited the use of lettere of nobility in public
documents.
9 p.m.—The crowds are increasing in the neigh-
bourhood of the well-known gendarme-market' The
result of the discussion in the Assembly has not yet
transpired. The excitement is intense."

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY ETCHNO.
The trial of Mr. Williams, the co-proprietor of Mr.
O'Doherty, is being proceeded with to-day. The At-
torney-General, having stated the case, called
evidence of proprietorship alone, offering no
testimony as to handwriting, which was done in
the ease of Mr. O'Doherty. What effect this may
have—whether the jury will hesitate in conse-
quence of the omission, is difficult to conjecture.
Most probably, however, they will not. Mr. Fer-
guson, who conducts Mr. Williams' defence, will, it
is expected, close this evening, but the charge of the
judge will not be given until morning.
The term opened to-day, with the:usual formalities,
and considerable interest was felt to know what the
crown was prepared to do in the case of Messrs.
O'Brien and Meagher, against whom prosecutions
for sedition are pending in the Queen's Bench, as also
whether the habeas corpus would be moved fur, in
order to bring the parties now in Clonmergaol, under
sentence, into court to assign error. Nothing was,
however, done in either matter up to post-hour.

A MEETING or TEE BAR will, it IS understood,
be held on Saturday next, for the purpose of embodying in •
memorial the sentiments of the bar generally upon the
subject rf the proposed alterations in the sittings of the
Equity Courts, as announced by the Lord Chancellor, and
described in our law reports this day.
SUPPRESSION OF Noisexcre.—Yesterday the board
of guardians of the extensive pariah of St. George-the-
Martyr, Southwark, appointed four ;inspectors of 11111/1131CU
under the Wealfh of Towns Aot, whom duty it is to daily
visit the different localities, with a view to the detection and
removal of i.uisanecs prejudicial to the public health, a

son who obstructs or hinders them in the execution of their

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Jews 29.
There will be a special meeting of the committee of
the Repeal Association to-morrow, to deliberate on
the posture of affairs, and principally the question of
dissolution. Mr. J. O'Connell persists firmly in his
resolve. Very powerful influence, it is said, had been
brought to bear on his obstinacy, but without avail.
A patriotic tradesman describes, in the Limerick
and Clare Eraminer, an interview between the Ft len
Club of the City of the Treaty and Mr. S. O'Brien.
The deputation set off to Cabirmoyle, and had a long
interview with the hou. member. An address having
been presented, Mr. O'Brien delivered a rira race to
his " brother felons," in which, inter a/ a, he urged
the necessity of organising clubs throughout all the
laud. Having concluded the affair at Cabirmoyle the
members dropped into military array, under their
" commander,' and marched " down the hill."

At the lastHanturk Sessians the criminal calendar
was peculiarly heavy. There were over 300 cas.
in which the offences were traceable to hunger.
Among the offenders were numerous children, be-
tween 7 and 12 years, charged with transportable
offences. The grand jury of lianturk passed a series
of resolutions at the late quarter sections, in reference
to this subject, which speak ill for the effective admi-
nistration of the poor law in the Mallow diarict :

the proper authorities. Resolved—That we also earnestly request

ment of the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the

was but fair and tight that a qu. stion in which the public
had so much interest should be bully dixussed. (Hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL said that as the able speech of the
hon. member fur Manchester had not been answered he
thought the hon. member fur the West Riding ought to be

Mr. COBDEN aaiu the question was one of principle,

Mr. BRIGHT said it was not at all neceisary that the

A PHYSICAL FORCE SALERMAN.—G. ROWCiifft was in-
dieted, with three other persons, for a'saultine a ..roker named
Solomons. A sale by suction of some "genteel and hand-
some modern household furniture " was announced to take
place ht the Hall of Commerce, in Threadneedlcstreet.
Placards were printed announcing the sale, and in them the
property was described, in the smallest possible type, as be-
longing to the defendant &maitre, but in the catalogue the
name of Rowcliffe was not mentioned. A catalogue was sent
to the prosecutor by the post, and thinking it a bona fide
affair, he attended the sale-room. When he found that
Roweliffe had the management of the sale, he had a different
belief about it, and told the assembled persons that they were
being imposed upon; it was not a fair transaction, the sale
being a rigged" one, by which term was meant a
sale got up and attended by persona paid by the auc-
tioneer to bid against those who went really to put
chase. Roweliffe ordered him off, but he refused to
go, and thereupon the defendant resorted to physical
force. A scuffle ensued, and in the melee Solomons
received a blow which blackened his eye. He received
other injuries, and was finally turned out of the room.—The
Recorder put it to the jury whether they considered that
more than necessary force had been used in ejecting
Solomons.—The Jury answered in the negative, and
acquitted the defendants.

ADDISON Y. THE NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY
COMPANY.—INJUNCTION —DIRECTION THAT NOTICE
SHOULD HE GIVEN TO DEFENDANTS.—Mr. Willoock ap-
plied for an injunction ex parte on behalf of certain share-
holders in the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company, to
restrain the d:rectors of the company from entering Into a
perpetual haw of their railway to the Newcastle and Ber-
wick Company, on the ground that the agreement had been
entered into contrary to the provisions r f the act. The offer
for tho lease had been accepted on the 31st of May last, and
it was to be signed on the Gth inst. The plaintiff alleged
that he had not been informed of the intended transacuon
until the Ist of this month.—The Vice Chancellor objected
to grant the injunction ez parte, and directed notice to be
given to the defendants for Saturday next.

Before Vice-Chancellor Wlgrarn.
Ex PAICTE NEWTON.—PUIVILEOII FALAI ASHEST.—Tkis
motion was renewed, Mr. Newton having obtained an
order from the Lord Chancellor, by which the Vice-Chan-
cellor was directed to hear the motion upon the merits with-
out reference to the informality in the heading of the notice
of motion arid the •ffidasits. It will be remembered that
the applicant, while in attendance as defendant in a suit at
the Rolls to superintend the drawing up of the decree, was
arrested under an attachment for non-payment of costs in
auuthcr suit in the same court. The present motion was to
be discharged from custody, on the ground that •
party to a cause wu privileged from arrest while
attending at the proceedings in the cause.—Mr. Newton
appeared in person in support of the motion; and Mr. Ken-
yon Parker and Mr. Ilsll contra.—At the conclusion of the
argument his Honour geld Mr. Newton was entitled to his
discharge, on the ground of his privilege whilst attending
at the registrar's office. It was admitted that the privilege
existed in the case of attendance by a party at the hearing of
a cause, and that it extended also to attendance at the
Mader's office. It bad been argued, however, that it did
nut extend to an attendance upon the registrar, because the
duty of that officer was purely ministerial, to draw
up a decision already pronounced by the court,
a proceeding at which a party was sufficiently re.
presented by his solicitor. The same argument, he
thought, might be urged in reference to the
hearing, and he could not follow the reasoning on which
the distinction was lounacd. He thought the effice of re-
eistrar was not purely ministerial, inasmuch ses he was en-
tru.ted with the performance of a duty in which, to prevent
a miscarriage, he was required to be attended by all the par-
ti•fe interested. As the decree in question affected Mr.
Newton as to cosu, his interest was sufficient to entitle him
to attend, and he thourbt, therefore, that he could not do
otherwise than make an order for his immediate discharge.
