is the only business officially reported in the Stock

Exchange.
The transactions in foreign mining stocks are
more numerous, but have led to no change in
quotations.
Subjoined is a list of yesterday's transactions in the
Mining Exchange:

gress, and will have an influence on the value of the minmg
property of that district, by reducing the expense of fuel and
carnage. As regards fuel the neigbbourusg coal laid of

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

AUSTRIA AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Official Milan Gazette of the 14th, in a lead-
ing article on the question of the Danubian Princi-
palities, refers to the late article in the Moniteur on
that subject, and after observing that Austria and
England join with Turkey in demanding the separa-
tion, adduces arguments in favour of the latter
course. It quotes a Vienna letter from the Journal
de Francforl, in which the writer attributes the article
of the Moniteur to some secret object, known only to
the courts of Paris and St. Petersburg, which
" might cause fresh clouds to accumulate on our po-
litical horizon." The letter then says:" On ac-
count of this demonstration, the cabinet of Vienna
is, however reluctantly, obliged to apply for positive
explanations to the French government, before it
withdraws its battalions from the Principalities. If
we are well informed, Baron Hubner will be directed
to tusk for the precise interpretation of this last
singular manifestation on the part of France."

DURHAM AND UZI SNOITHORtAI —Durham, tle

attention paid by its principal stockbreeders to this descrip-
tion of cattle. It would appear that to maintain the pro-

Durham County Agricultural Society, for at a meeting of its
council, held on Saturday, it was agreed to offer what almost
seems the monstrous prize of a piece of plate of one hun-
dred ovin is, value for the beet short horned breeding animal.
The plate however, to be won by the OA Me exhibitor three
times before it becomes hie absolute property. The society
also give. large money prizes for the same breed of cattle,

PARIS, TIIMIUSDAT EVZNINO.

As the Emperor was yesterday taking a drive in
the Champs Elyhees, some of the secret police, who
always watch his movements on such occasions,
observed when near the corner of the Rue Montaigne*
carriage apparently following him closely, and in
which were three foreigners, of dark complexion, in
the hand of one of whom they distinctly saw a pistol.
The carriage was instantly surrounded, and on close
inspection the pistol proved to be a highly finished
revolver, with six barrels. The men were
detained under arrest, but it turned out that
they were Brazilian gentlemen who had just bought
the revolver at M. Lepage's shop, and were proceed-
ing to his shooting gallery to try it. This expla-
nation being corroborated by circumstances, they
were at once released with apologies.

The Emperor's journey to the ChMons camp has
been postponed for two or three days.
The Courtier de Paris states that Prince Gregory
Ghika committed suicide on Tuesday evening, at a
chateau, which he has lately purchased near Nlelan.
He shot himself with a fowling piece. The reason

for the act has not transpired: -
The Bourse opened with a slight degree of buoy-
ancy, but the better disposition was checked by a
fallof in Consols, and the tenor of the Indian news
telegraphed from London. The Itente closed at 67fr.

The Pays, alluding to doubts thrown by Some
London journals upon the accuracy of its account of
the strength of Delhi, affirms that it has never pub-
Jished any Indian news except upon sure informa-
tion, and that none of its statements have ever been
contradicted. I have already mentioned that thePays'
exclusive London news is supposed to be furnished by
the French embassy, but how does it account for
Lord Palmerston's contradiction of the story it told
the other day about au application to the I'acha of
Egypt for leave to send troops across the Isthmus of
Suez ?

PIEDMONT.

The Opinione of Turin gives an account of the
reception at Genoa of the splendid piece of ordnance
sent by the citizens of Boston to the people of Pied-
mont for the walls of Alestandria. General Mi-
randa commandant of the division of Genoa, and the
civic authorities, proceeded in state to the gates of
the port, where the gun was solemnly delivered to
them. It was then conveyed to the Piazza Nueva,
accompanied by a band of music and by a detach-
_ .

ment of soldier,. It remained there until the Mon-
day following, to be viewed by the population, and
was then lent off to Turin.

TILE INDIAN MASSACRES.

A telegraphic despatch from Marseilles, published
by the Morning Post, gives a few additional parti-
culars as to the contents of the Indian mails, now on
their way to the metropolis. The following arc
are amongst the killed at Cawnpore :—Brigadier
Pack, Colonel Williams, Lindsay, Prout, Sir George
Parker, Quin, Redman, Supple, Halliday, Reynolds,
Prole, Smith, Eckford, Dempster, Jervis, Challwin.
This despatch represents the engagement on the
bth of July before Agra between the garrison of
that place and the Neemuch mutineers, who had
marched thither with reinforcements which brought
I their numbers up to 10,000 men, to have resulted in
the defeat of the garrison. " Our force was obliged
to retire with a heavy loss." Among the officers
killed in this action were Major Thomas, Captain
Doyly, Lieutenants Lamb, Pond, and Fellowes ; and
of the civil service, Messrs. O'Connor, C. Horn, P.
Horn, Carlton, Smith, Jordan, Prendergast, White-
ray, Black, Burdbrank, Freeze, Outram, Oldfleld,
and Deedes. The 9th Light Cavalry and 46th Na-
tive Infantry, who mutinied at Sealkotc on the 9th
of July, massacred Captain Bishop, Dr. Graham, the
Rev. Mr. Hunter, with his wife and child; Briga-
dier Brind was wounded. The remaining Europeans
at this station were safe in the fort. These muti-
neers, it will be remembered, were totally defeated
by General Nicholson on the 16th.
At Meerut, General Hewitt had been removed
from the command "for supineness."

At Setapoor were killed Col. Birch, the Christians,

PERSIA.

The Pays says:
" It is affirmed that mantling to the draft treaty
now ender consideration at Paris, England is to
enjoy the commercial advantages of the most
favoured nation in Persia. It follows that she will have
the right to send Consuls to several determinate
points in the interior of the empire and on the
coast of the Persian gulf, but she will not be able
to accredit Consuls to any of the posts of the
Caspian Sea, because no other power has diplomatic
agents there."

PORTUGAL.

The following is the letter of our correspondent :
LISBON, Ocr. 29.
I regret that still little or no improvement can be
reported in the wane of the epidemio—every jay
adds to its victims, and every day the pressure aimed
by the closing of 'hope and manufactories, and the
stagnation of general trade, becomes more diffused
and imminent- Let the government look to the
future, for matter. are becoming very serious, and
what was at first thought a temporary evil is
now winning more alarming proportions. The
opinions—medical and otherwise—about the
nature and cause of the disease are very
conflicting ; the majority sasert it to be yellow
fever, and consider that in the first instance the
venom was im but found a medium of action
well by the pestilential sewers; others
call statement " nonsense," and propound
theories of their own in contradiction. So who
shall decide when doctors disagree? Writing, how-
mu, upon the facts, nobody can deny the presence
among us of a deadly if not contagious fever, which
carries off its tale of victims daily, and which has
now laid sous 1,600 patients under treatment in the
fever wards of the hospital. Ono impression made
by the diversity of opinions is, that the faculty are
not altogether au fait either to the name or treat-
ment of the disease, and that many people must be
quite content to be practised upon seeutichsm artem,
leaving the chances of cure to nature, or the power
of a strong constitution.
The King remains in Lisbon, and still visits the
fever hospitals; and manifests the greatest interest
in the welfare of his people. As I have already
told you, ho bas given 7,0001. for the benefit of the
widows and orphans who are now cast without pro-
vision upon the world. These actions speak well
for the heart of the young King, and will gain him
a lasting place in the love of his people.
Since the prevalence of the epidemic his Majesty
has several times visited the Opera. Before he
rarely if ever did so, and his motive is evidently to
give confidence to the people, by showing he is
amongst them and sharing their dangers.

SWEDEN.

The debate upon the bill which had been laid be-
fore the Four Estates of the realm in the Swedish
Diet, and the object of which was to efface front the
legislative code those penalties upon religious dis-
sent which by their severity and intolerance are
manifestly offensive to the spirit of the age, has just
terminated in the rejection of the bill. The Estates
of the Peasantry, the Nobility, and the Clergy voted
against the government measure, which was only
supported by the representatives of the trading
classes and townsfolk. The discussion was very
warm, and amongst the speakers who during the
first two sittings of the combined Estates advocated
most vehemently the retention of the penalty of
banishment upon every person who quits the domi-
nant Lutheran religion to embrace *nether faith,
was Count Spans, late the Swedish Minister of
Justice. His passionate and exaggerated de-
scription of the dangers and calamities which
might be brought upon a Lutheran popu-
latum by the encroachment of the doctrines of
the Romish church, seems to have induced a number
of the bourgeois as well es of the rustic members to
vote in favour of the amendment proposed by the
constitutional committee, the effect of which is to
retain the penalty of banishment.
This debate in the chambers upon a matter of so
much controversy had naturally excited great agita-
tion amongst all classes of the people. The clergy-
men of the Lutheran church have held meetings in
almost every province to express an opinion for or
against the government bill. In the province of
&hewn, out of 457 persons who compose the clerical
body there, 230 declared in favour of maintaining
the law of banishment. The respectable minority of
177 clergymen who expressed themselves in favour
of the abolition of penalties repugnant to the feelings
and morality of the present age, could not prevail
against the influence of their ecclesiastical superiors,
who exercise a very rigorous authority over the
pastors and preachers of the country.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN LONDON.

The deaths registered in London rose from 988 in
the preceding week to 1,047 in the week that ended last Satur-
day (October 31st). The deaths of melee were 631, hose of
females SIG. In the ten years 1847-66 the average number of
deaths in the weeks oorreeponding with last week eras 1,008 ;
but to admit of comparison with the deaths of het weak.
when population had increesod, the average must be raised
ri'Vdonally to the increase, in which use It will become
. The deaths now returned were, therefore. fewer by
62 than would have occurred if the average rate of mortality
had ruled.

In the present returns typhus fever numbers more deaths
than any other symotie theme, and scarlatina shows an
almost equal number. To the two &sears 56 and 53 deaths
earFectively ere referred. More occurred from scarlatina (17)
in the North districts than in any other of the flee metropoli-
tan divisions ; and only eight from that complaint on the south
side of the river. Only 11 deaths from measles are re-
turned, end of these only one occurred in the numerous port-
lotion on the south ode. At 8, Medburn-street, Somers-
town, a commercial traveller and two daughters died of scar-
latina within 84 hours. The medical attendant states that
the father " was struck down in 28 hours." In this and
other instances in which scarlatina or typhus wan fatal, bad
drainage, offensive gallim, or lower apartment. flooded with
swags are complained of, generally by medical attendants.
The deathe from Harahan are now reduced to 31 ; of these 13
wand in the south district., only one in the west. Three
deaths are returned se caused by cholera end " choleraic
di urlicea or fever." On 29th October a seaman, rYRd 18
years, died of" cholera" after twelve hours' illness, on hosed
• ship in the Commercial Dock. Another ease occurred at
Osborne Cottages, Lewisham ; and the third in Regent's-
rood, Mile-end.
Fourteen women died after childbirth; 8 Wants died from
Inanition or want of breastmilk. Three persons died of dia-
betes ; one of chorea; 4 of delirium tremens; 3 of intemper-
anoe. Besides three perilous aged 91 years, a labourer is re-
turned who had attained the age of 100 ran. He died on
27th October, at 3, Durhain-yard, Weft-street.
Last week the births of 921 boys and 864 girls, in all 1,785
children, were registered in London. In the tan correspond-
ing weeks of the you* 1847-66 tho anew number wu 1,467.
