THE DAY'S NEWS

Yesterday we had later intelligence from the
Brazils. The Sultan, although not a Brazil mail,
brings, via Lisbon, advices from Pernambuco to the
20th of August, at which time the Brazilian
Chamber of Deputies had passed a bill, authorising
the government to open a credit of six hundred
contos, to be applied in promoting colonisation,
and for other public services. A bill had also
been passed to regulate the strength of the naval
forces, and another establishing international
copyright between Portugal and Brazil, were under
discussion. The additional articles of the bill of
the Maria Railway and the Amazons Company
were sanctioned ; but the Chamber, at the sugges-
tion of the Prime Minister, had resolved to frame
a new project, to prevent its being embarrassed in
its progress through the State.
The Canadian royal mail steamer North American,
entered the Mersey last evening after an excellent
passage, considering the state of the weather, of
eleven days four hours. She brings us Quebec
advices of September 13—five days later than
those previously to hand. It appears that the
Kansas agitation was still going on, and that the
revolutionists, if such they can be called, aro
energetic in carrying out their barbarous designs.
Our Continental advices this morning inform us
that at Paris the Neapolitan question now occupies
public attention, almost to the exclusion of all
others. No doubt is now entertained that England
and France are determined to make an energetic
demonstration towards the King of Naples. The
French legation is about to be recalled from Naples,
as well as what remains of the English one, and the
two Allied Governments will each send four line-of.
battle ships and four frigates into the Gulf of
Naples. It is said that the first place of rendez-
vous of the force will be Ajaccio, and the French
part of it has received orders to immediately leave
Toulon. The united squadron will have on board
as "140 Y from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
l ran", 'with- decisive instructions for M. Brenier.

from the Minister of the Finance to the Director
of Customs, announcing that the Government has
rejected the claim of certain English traders of
Santa Maria to be exempted from the payment of
20 reals for each cask of wine taken from that place

The Venice Gazette has the following from Rome
—" A meeting of cardinals and prelates was con-
vened by the Pope a few days ago, to discuss
matters relating to the Roman Catholic Church in
the East; the Sultan having latterly proposed
some measures to the Holy See in favour of his
Roman Catholic subjects, through the medium I

of the sections

of Mgr. Hassun, the Latin Archbishop of Con-
stantinople."
The state of affairs in Montenegro remained in
statu quo. In order to be prepared for whatever
may take place, the head quarters of the corps
d'armee of Roumelia has been established at Monas.
tir, within reach of the frontier of the above named
province.

The Gazette of the German Empire announces, on
authority of a letter from Servia, of the 13th, that
it is believed that the Powers of Europe will soon
consent, even in spite of the opposition of the
Porte, to render the dignity of prince of the pro-
vince hereditary in the family of Prince Alexander
Karageorgewitch, the present ruler.

From Vienna we have the following intelli-
gence :—The affairs of Naples continue to occupy
the attention of the Imperial Cabinet, and are the
subject of daily conferences between Count Buol
and Count de Martini, the Austrian Minister at
the Court of King Ferdinand. It is stated that in
consequence of despatches received from Baron
de Hubner, the return of Count de Martini to his
post will take place sooner than was intended. It
is wished by the Emperor that the count should
be at Naples with Baron do Hubner, and that they
should conjointly make a serious effort to induce
the King to change his language and his attitude

towards the two great Western Powers.
According to late despatches from St. Petersburg,
Russia intends to prosecute her claims to the rock,
and is wing every effort to induce other Powers to
make it a subject for mutual decision. There
ought to be no question whatever, that the Island
of Serpents has traditionally belonged to that
Power which holds the nearest continental land.
The new Russian frontier, though extending
beyond the Dneister, will make Russian ground at
least 50 miles from the Island of Serpents, whilst
it is within about 20 of the mouths of the Danube.
That fact alone ought to suffice. Our naval force
has very positive orders should Russian troops
again attempt to land. The Nord of Tues
day contains a telegraphic message from
Berlin to the effect that the principal net-
work of railways in Russia has been conceded
to a company composed of capitalists of various
countries, among whom are the Paris Credit
Mobilier, and M.M. Hottingeur, Baring, Hope, and
Stieglitz. The concession is granted for 85 years,
and a minimum interest of 5 per cent. is guaran-
teed to the shareholders by the Russian govern-
ment. The lines must be completed in ten years.
In consequence of this decision, M.M. Isaac
Pereira and Thuraeissen, on the part of the Credit
Mobilier, have left for Russia.

Our Paris correspondent, writing yesterday,
says :—Apart from the Neapolitan question there
is no news of interest, and as the intelligence is
derived from your side of the Channel, to send
you the rechauffe accounts which find their way
into the French papers would be worse than carry-
ing coals to Newcastle. The step taken by the
Western Powers, however, is very generally ap-
proved of. An incipient quarrel between Turkey
and Austria about Montenegro also excites some
attention, but it is thought to be nothing more
than a feu de parole. Turkey, it is expected, will
have to yield.

The domestic and local topics of the day are easily
summarised. The Denbighshire and Flintshire
Agricultural Society have held their annual meet-
ing, and, according to our reporter's observations,
all was highly creditable. Further statements
regarding the unfortunate ship Imogene are pub-
to cloy The pnblio hcavo now hoard both
sides, and we must close our columns to any
further remarks, and leave a legal investigation
to reveal who is to blame for the late melancholy
disaster. Sir James Graham has been delivering
a speech at Carlisle. Like all other states-
men, he is " canny," as to what course Ice will
pursue during the next session of Parliament.
We publish some additional remarks respecting
the Royal Oak Burial Society, whose affairs are
just now in a queer state.

The Oliver Lang has at length taken her depar-
ture for New Zealand. She sailed yesterday
—the weather preventing her from starting,
although ready in every respect on her appointed
day. The Oliver Lang has gone out well fitted
and appointed in everything that can contribute to
the health and comfort of every one on board. She
is the pioneer of an important line. We wish her
God speed on her errand, and earnestly hope her
voyage will prove satisfactory and remunerative to
the enterprising firm who have sent her forth.

THRE are many considerate politicians who
would confer the Parliamentary and municipal
franchise on women, and •,ve must confess that we
were not very strongly opposed to the idea, until
we had witnessed the scene which was enacted at
the Concert Hall on Monday evening last. The
Royal Oak Burial Society held their adjourned
meeting in the Hall, for the purpose of electing
officers to manage their affairs for the next twelve
months. The " ladies" enjoyed, in this instance,
the right to vote, and the use they made of their
privilege was original and amusing. They voted
first for their enemies and then for their friends.
They applauded everything that was proposed, but
cried down every one who attempted to speak.
They asserted their vested right, and claimed a
perfect monopoly of all that belonged to the orato-
rical part of the business to be transacted. They
would have a majority, and did carry every resolu-
tion their own way. Taking the Redan would have
been a much easier task than attempting to carry
any proposition against their united voices. The
spirit of Mosms and the lungs of CULLEN were of
no avail against the angelic clamour of a thousand
tongues. Nor were the delectables deficient when
it came to show of hands to decide which side was
to gain the day.

When a resolution was put to the vote, up went
two hands above each bonnet. If a foot would
have been taken for one, we verily believe that
every shoe and stocking in the room would have
followed the hands into the air. Such enthusiasm
was never before witnessed ; and their determina-
tion not to be counselled, hoaxed, or defeated was
not to be shaken. It was impossible for a man,
whether friend or foe, to get a word in, even side-
ways. The consequence was, that the former
President and Committeemen were re-elected, to
the utter amazement of every respectable member
of the Society present. Had there been no women
in the room to vote, a very different tale would have
been told. All is not lost, however, The members
have very absolute powers conferred on them in
th.
h e new rules. If they have any reason to believet
the funds of the Society are being improperly
applied, they
can appeal to the County Court Judge,
who can restrain the officers of the Society. This
eb
largethatStillis number of members
will discontinue their contribu • tions, and allow
themselves to be thrown out of benefit. This, we
think, would be very impolitic, considering that
the County Court can be applied to at any
moment, should anything transpire to render such
a course necessary. The old clique have the whole
of the Society affairs in their
hands at the present

THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDA

moment; but it is not likely that Mr. POLLOCK
will allow the female members to vote at another
election, after the very discreditable part they
played on Monday evening. Their motive,
throughout the whole affair, was too palpable to
be mistaken; and we do not see how giving one
set of men a monopoly of the management of any
public society, can contribute to the honest and
impartial administration of its affairs. New
blood is required in the direction of almost all
undertakings of a public character, and the
members of the Royal Oak must be tolerably well
satisfied that it would be all the better for them if
they had a few fresh faces on their board of
managers. The matter is settled now, however,
for another year, when those members who keep in
benefit will have a better opportunity of judging
what ought to be done for the purification of the
Society, and when they may probably be allowed
the right of hearing and speaking in the absence
of women, whose sole object at the Society's
business meetings is to render MOSES as unintel-
ligible as possible, and to make CULLEN appear a
martyr and a saint.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENINCI

- The
,Liverpool Cotton Market begins to be
animated, and holders have the advantage in price,
although not to the extent of a quotation. To-day
no less than 15,000 bales changed hands, of which
speculators took 5,000, and exporters 2,000. • The
market closed with firmness, holders feeling
inclined to withdraw their stocks. The rates paid
were-41d to 5d for Surat, 61d to 7d for Brazil,
and 6d to Sid for Egyptian. The imports this week
are only to a moderate extent.
Our Railway Share Market is still dull and
stupid. Sellers would willingly realise, but buyers
seem quite unwilling to operate to any extent. We
might almost reprint our remarks of yesterday, as
to the opening and closing of business to-day.
Among the latest sales, we notice Eastern Coun-
ties, 91. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 961 961.
London and North Western, 1024. Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln, 32a. Midland Stock, 78.

There is hardly such an active and general
demand for money either here or in London, and
if anything the rate of discounts must be con-
sidered somewhat easier; at the same time, no
bills, no matter what signature they bear, or how
short the date, are done' under the minimum rate
of the Bank of England, 4-1 per cent. The Consol
Market opened quietly this morning, and there
was not much anxiety to operate ; business was
done at 931 to 94 for the account, and 931 to 94 for
transfer. The market left off with quietness, and
the last prices quoted were 93i to 94 for the acount,
and 931 to 931 for money. Exchequer Bills were
quoted at 14s to 17s prem.
In the Railway Share Market the business
transacted to-day was limited, but without any
material change in prices. The sales reported
comprised-Caledonian, 54, 548 ; Great Northern,
931; Great Western, 64; London and North Wes-
tern Stock, 1021, 102 ; Midland Stock, 772, 78, 771;
South Eastern and Dover, 702 ; Newcastle and
Berwick, 79; York and North Nidland, 554. The
last prices of the day were as follows :-Caledonian,
541 55. Eastern Counties, 9 1-16 9 3-16. East Lan-
cashire, 794 804. Great Northern, 90/. Do. A., 811
821. Great Western, 641641. Lancashire and York-
shire, 861 86k. London and North Western, 1021
102/. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 32t
321. Midland Stock, 771 78. North British, 38 39.
York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 79 80.
All descriptions of Foreign and Colonial produce
\ continue in good demand, and full prices are
readily maintained. Coffee has been quiet, but
prices are unchanged. Rice and Saltpetre are firm,
at very full prices. The Tallow market is firm, at
52s on the spot, and 49s 9d to 50s for October to
December.
A special meeting of the Fire department of the
Unity Fire and Life Association took place yes-
terday, at the London Tavern. The cause of
complaint is the great expenditure in establishing
the society, and also the cost of maintenance.
After some discussion, a committee was appointed
to go into the past and present management
of the company in respect to this department.
The shareholders and assurers of the Unity will,
doubtless, be glad to learn that the differences
which have of late agitated this company are now
nearly, if not entirely, at an end. Mr. Mechi
having appealed to the shareholders to support
him in the views he enunciated at the late meet-
ing, has received replies from nearly 750 persons,
representing upwards of one half the subscribed
capital. Thus armed, he appealed to the board in
a spirit of conciliation, which was promptly
responded to, and the majority of the directors,
bowing to the decision of the proprietors, as
expressed at the late meeting and through Mr.
Mechi, will, it is understood, retain their seats at
the board, which will, however, to some extent be
modified, so as to secure the utmost amount of
confidence from the propretary, the assured, and
the public. Mr. Baylis, with the cordial assent of
all parties, resumes his position as manager.

The scarcity of money on the Continent is
becoming more and more apparent, nearly all the
State Banks having been compelled to put up
their rates of discount. The Leipsic Bank, as well
as that of Vienna, have made a move, and it is
expected that Belgium will soon again follow the
example. Purchases of the five franc pieces in
Paris continue active, and as the Money changers
give a moderate premium, a large quantity is
disposed of every day.

Nkre learn that the parties to the petition for
winding-up the affairs of the Royal British Bank,
left London this morning for Bury St. Edmunds, to
go through the form of presenting the petition to
to• Vice Chancellor Kindersly. A telegraph despatch
from Bury St. Edmunds, states that his Lordship
has made the order for winding up the affairs of
the Bank.

Accounts from Constantinople mention that the
question of establishing a National Bank is again
suspended ; and that the money changers at
Galata, profiting by the circumstance, have man-
aged to raise the exchange of the pound sterling
from 118 piastres to 125. The financial affairs of
the government are said to be in an embarrassed
state.

Telegraphic advices from Vienna, of the 22nd
inst., mention that there'was considerable agitation
exhibited on the Bourse in consequence of the
position which the Neapolitan complications had
assumed, and the resolution adopted by the
National Bank to increase their rate of discount to
5 per cent. At the close of the Market on that day
the Austrian Funds declined l per cent, to 821;
the New Loan to .108; and the Lombardo-Venetian
Loan to 92. Shares of the New General Bank of
Credit fell 10 florins, to 345. Money was daily
getting scarcer, and the premium upon the precious
metals had risen to 5 per cent.
The last American papers give a statement, made
up to the end of 1855, of the extent and cost of the
railways of the United States, compared with those
of Great Britain. The number of miles of railway
in America is 23,242, and the cost of construction
has averaged 7,1001. per mile. For this country
the total is put at 8,334 miles (reckoning 3,076 miles
of double track as 6,152), and the cost has been
36,0001. per mile. The people of the United States,
therefore, are congratulated on having obtained
nearly three times the extent of railway possessed
by Great Britain at little more than one-half of our
aggregate outlay. The difference in the durability
and general character of the roads, and also of the
rolling stock must, however, be taken into account:

The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and
Rotterdam produce markets state that the opera-
tions have not proved important, but that prices
emtinue to be supported. The letters from Rouen
mention the appearance of increased activity in
the market for manufactures, purchases generally
having been made on a more extensive scale.
It is stated that the silver shipments to India
and China, by the mail from Southampton, on the
4th of October, will amount to a million and a-
quarter sterling. The rate of insurance has
advanced from 35s to 90s.

LATER FROM CANADA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN.

- - -- -
The Royal Mall Screw Steamer, North American, Cap-
tain Grange, which sailed from Quebec on the 13th inst.,
arrived here last evening, after a favourable run of little
more than eleven days. She brings a general cargo, and
150 passengers. The North American reports the
Cambria at Boston, on the evening of the 13th instant.
The question of a reduction on Ocean Postage occupied
the attention of our Canadian fellow-subjects, and from
everything which appears, they were likely to effect that
most desirable object. The following is published in one of
the Quebec papers :—We mentioned last week that the
Board of Trade had recommended a reduction in the
Ocean postage to 3d sterling. The present rate, as will be
seen by the following letter handed us for publication, has
been agreed upon with the Imperial Parliament, whose
concurrence, it appears, is necessary to any new arrange-
ment. However, the attention of the Postmaster-general
having been directed to the subject, he will, we are sure,
do all he can to secure for the people of Canada so great
a boon, and one which, it is believed, must be consequent
upon the establishment of a weekly line of steamers to
Liverpool.
Post-office Department, Toronto, 3rd Sept., 1856.

Sir,--With reference to your letter of the 27th ultimo,
addressed to the Hon. Provincial Secretary, and trans-
ferred to this department, conveying a suggestion from
the Council of the Quebec Board of Trade, that the Ocean
postage should'abe reduced from sixpenc3 to threepence
sterling. I am directed by the Postmaster-General to
inform you that the sea rate is four pence sterling, with
one penny added for the British and one penny for the
Canadian internal conveyance, and, without entering into
the question of the expediency of reducing these charges,
that the rate is fixed by the tereis of the agreement now
subsisting between the I nporial and Provincial authori•
ti for the regulatiJn of the correspondence.—l have the
hc Jour to be, sir, S,,L,
(Signed) W. H. GRIFFIN, Secretary.
To Alexander Borrowman, Esq.,
Secretary, Quebec Board of Trade.
Alluding to the performances of the splendid steamers
belonging to the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company,
the Montreal Herald says :—There is no doubt that the
feats of nur steamers have already created a great sensa-
tion in New York and the other American ports; but we
shall be surprised if a small but highly important piece of
news brought by the Canadian does not make our friends
to the south open their eyes a little wider than ordinary.
The plain truth is, that of two steamers sailing the same
day, one from Quebec and the other from New York, the
New Yorker was distanced by the Quebecer, which arrived
and delivered her news in Liverpool before her competitor
was telegraphed. Who shall say that a new era is not,
dawning upon Canadian commerce? We all know the
vaunts that have been made of these American vessels—
and vaunts, be it said, that were by no means vain boasts.
We know that no money was spared in building
them, and that immense subventions have been laid
out to encourage their running. In short, the
highest steam has been carried in the boilers, in the
treasury, in the newspapers. But here is a vessel
with inferior power, and with a very moderate aid from
Government, which makes the passage from the Canadian
ports in shorter time than her powerful rival. We need
not say that in imputing this success to the superiority of
the route, as well as to the excellence of the Canadian
vessels, and of the arrangements of Messrs. Edmonstone
and Allan, we in no respect disparage the latter. The
gentlemen in question, and the ships of their company,
have accomplished wonders ; and if the advantages of the
Canadian route of commerce are now demonstrated in
practice as well as theory, it is to them we owe it. Still,
the permanent geographical superiority of this country for
the purpose of communicating with Europe, is a more
important fact than any accidental superiority which
might have been gained by a faster steamer over one less
speedy. We know now what we are capable of with
inferior though excellent means. We must not be
content till we prove what we can do with a class of
vessels equal to those with which we have to contend.
The Quebec Chronicle remarks—Captain Judkius, of the
Cunard steam-ship Persia, stated in conversation lately,
that the Cunard Company have made arrangements for
the construction of another iron steam-ship to be built on
the Clyde, and called the Scotia. It is to be larger than
the P, rsia, and Captain Judkins is confident it will
exceed the Persia in speed as much as that fine vessel
exceeds ordinary ocean steamers. He thinks the British
naval architects have learned much since the Persia was
built, and will improve both in the model and in the con-
struction of the engines. The Scotia will be finished in
about a year.—[We give this for what it is worth. We
have not heard that any such vessel is on the stocks, or
even about to be laid down, and fancy our colonial
brethren have been imposed upon.—En. N. T.]
The news from Washington or New York are quite
unimportant. The New York papers contain the follow-
ing advices from Kansas of the sth, which say that Lane,
with 150 men, attacked Tecumseh, on the 4th inst. No
particulars. Judge Trowbridge had issued orders to the
U.S. Marshal to arrest Lane and other agitators. Gen.
Smith had instructed Col. Cook, commanding fourteen
companies of troops at Fort Reilly, to give all necessary
assistance in the execution of writs.

Gen. Geary arrived at Glasgow on the 2nd instant, when
he left, Gov. Shannon was on his way down.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

MONTREAL, Sept. 10 —Business—liisopened very
briskly for imported goods in Toronto and Hamilton.
The stocks in Montreal are large, but there are few
buyers yet. The demand for exchange is moderate, but
chiefly at this season of the year for paper ; and in con-
nection with this, we have again to point out the
inferiority of a Montreal importer's position, as compared
with that of his New York competitor. The Montreal
importer has to sell at six months, and to keep the notes
he receives two or three months on hand, before he can get
them turned into Bills of Exchange to meet his payments
and when these notes come due, he has to renew a considera-
ble portion—perhaps the whole—for three months more.
He is, therefore, unable to buy at short dates, or to advan-
tage in Europe, unless possessed of great capital, or unless
he pay a heavy commission for drawing upon some British
house for the 'use of the necessary means, and he is in
constant hot water with renewals. The New York
importer, on the other hand, sells at 8 months,, to be paid
at maturity, and discounts his months paper with bill
brokers for the purchase of Exchange at once ; so that
lhibiseroalwnanldiabatiltirtaiecstivmeuccrhedimtoraet

promptly, and has no trouble about the renewals,
all this being the result of a greater supply of
capital, and a better
i mode of applying it. In
yet can morepa y
Flour and Wheat there s little to notice, prices being
rather dull though the supply is by no means large. Up to
date, the receipts of both are largely in advance of last
year ; the increase to Saturday being 88,138 brls flour, and
439,749 bushels wheat. This shows that business is once
more finding its way down the St. Lawrence. Coarse grains
are all in active demand, and advancing. Oats being 2s 3d
to 2s 6d per minot; barley 5s 61 to 63; corn 3s. Peas
continue at 4s Id to 4s 3d. The supply of Corn this year, as
compared with last, is deficient 95,517 bushels. Oatmeal
is scarce, and 23s per barrel of 200 lbs has been paid.
Ashes have taken a further rise, and have been sold as high
as 37s 101 for pots—this is a very high figure, and will
surely stimulate production. Pork continues to decline
slightly. The dry goods trade is also very active, and prices
firm. Salt has been gradually advancing here from 3s 10d
to 4s 3d per bag.
QUEBEC, Sept. 13.—Very few of the fall importations
have yet come forward, and there is consequently no in
creased activity in business to note. The following are the
sales of the week :—Ashes : The demand for both sorts
