STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 4.—The market to-day has again
been exceedingly inactive, the unfavourable speculations
respecting the prospects of the money-market rendering
all parties extremely cautious in their proceedings.
Stocks are very generally light, and prices are not quotably
lower than on Tuesday, but their tendency is daily more
in faVour of purchasers, and no expectation of improve-
ment appears to be entertained. The chief inquiry for
cloth has been from the Greek and. American trades, and
the Germans are operating, but with considerable cau-
tion, in yarns.
NOTTINGEAM, Oct. 4.—There has been this week a
slight increase in the demand for inferior classes of lace
goods ; yet, although the autumn season has commenced,
the lace trade continues very quiet, and there is not so
much doing for the season as was anticipated would be
the case. The hosiery manufacturers are preparing for
the winter demand. Tho trade is steady. Yarns re-
main without alteration.

NAPLES.

We learn from a letter dated Naples, Sept. 21,
that the taking of Sebastopol has caused the greatest
excitement in that city ; the people are full of joy
at the news, but are obliged to smother their feel-
ings. The Attoyalists are terrified. Banquets have
been held at the English, French, and Sardinian
embassies with great pomp. On Monday last the
King of Naples was presented with a very strong
diplomatic not*, brought by a special courier from
London.
Another lettar mentions that all who had been
marked by the p office as having loitered about the
British, French, and Sardinian embassies on the
occasion of their L‘eing illuminated in honour of the
late successes of th, 9 allied forces, have been arrested
as taking part in those festivities contrary to the
Royal will and plea oure.

PRINCE MURAT AND THE "TIMES."

The following letter from Prince Murat, ad-
dressed to the Times, but which we have not seen
in that paper, appears in some of the Paris jour-
nals :

" Monsieur,—An article in your journal which has
just been communicated to me, tends to represent me
as an adventurous man, who would wish to profit by
the difficulties into which the Neapolitan Govern-
ment has fallen, to revolutionise the country.
Happily, you say, the spark is extinguished, and
what could now only end in a conspiracy in by favour,
will give place, at a more or less distant period, to the
union and independence of Italy which can only be
realised by Piedmont. Your article would lead to
the belief that in succeeding, I should have been an
obstacle to the union and independence of Italy. I
know not what proofs you can bring forward in sup-
port of that assertion. The jourrals occupy them-
selves a great deal with a letter written by me to my
nephew two years ago, and which without being
publicly known, was so to all those who had an interest
in being acquainted with my opinions. That letter was
not published until after Piedmont had declared by her
alliance with France, England, and Austria, as well
as by articles inserted in the ministerial journals
that she renounced all idea of aggrandisement of ter-
ritory, and that she would respect the present state
of Italy. How, then, could a change of dynasty at
Naples interfere with or injure the ideas of Pied-
mont ? Let the latter dec'are herself, let her raise the
standard of the union, the independence, and liberty of
all Italy, and I pledge myself here, as I did in my let-
ter not only to be any obstacle in her way, but to give
to her all my co-operation and that of all the men whom
reminiscences of the past attach to my family ; for it
would be the realisation of the ideas of my father, to
which 1 shall always remain faithful. My political and
family position make it a duty for me to abstain from
any polemical articles in the journals. I therefore wish
that this letter may serve as an answer to all attacks
which malevolence may direct against me for the future.
—Accept, &c., " LUCIEN MuRAT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

Sin,—I beg to forward to you the copy of a letter ad-
dressed by me to Sir Benjamin Hall, in the hope that, as
the subject referred to is of public interest, you will have
the goodness to insert it in your next publication.
I am, Sir, your obed. servant,
JOHN VILLIERS SHELLEY.
Mansfield Park, 4th Oct., 1855.

Mansfield Park, 4th Oct., 1855.

MY DEAR HALL,—When I wrote to you on the 16th
ult. in relation to the proposed road across St. James's
Park, I did so in consequence of representations made to
me by some of niy constituents, who thought that the
road would be objectionable, and that the Government
intended to proceed with the scheme without any refe-
rence being made to Parliament. This impression was
no doubt made upon them in consequence of statements
which
be
th
the
public
papers, that the road was
to during the recess, and that the
works bad been commenced ; but, after the assurance
appeared proceededin w
contained in your letter of the 18th ult., " that nothing
will be done till Parliament meets, when the public will
have an opportunity of considering the plans which will
be presented to the House of Commons, and of seeing
whether the accommoCation offered to the public is the
best that should be granted," I am requested now to
state that they do not think it necessary to wait upon
you on Saturday next.
Hereafter, when they have had an opportunity of well
considering the plans, if they have objections to make it
may again become my duty to apply to you to receive a
deputation of my constituents.

I am, my dear Hall, yours truly,
JOHN VILLIERS SSELLEY•

HERTS AGRICULTURAL SOCIE2'Y.

The annual ploughing match of the Herta Agricultural
Society and exhibition of stock took place on Wednesday
at Buntingford, near Royston, and will be carried out
with more than usual spirit, the most extensive prepara-
tions having been made for the reception of the patrons
and subscribers of the society with the competitors and
a large number of the gentry of the locality. Several
trials have already taken place with the different ploughs,
and the stock, which will consist of bulls and etirks,
cows, heifers, rams, &c., are in most excellent condition.
The preparations have been made under the direction of
the committee, and at the conclusion of the match a
splendid dinner for about 200 will be laid out in a mar-
quee from B. Edgington's, under the presidency of the
Rev. Leveson Vernon Harcourt. A large quantity of
extra stock, consisting of agricultural implements, &c.,
will also be exhibited. TO° approaching match has
created the utmost interest amongst the district farmers
as well as the most influential gentlemen agriculturists,
not only from the fact of the implements which will be
used on the occasion being of first-rate construction and
manufacture, but from the increase of knowledge in
til-
ling the soil which these contests always promote.

THE GALLANT CAPT. FYERS.—Capt. W. A. Fyers,
2d Battalion Rifle Brigade, whose name was so honour-
ably mentioned by our special correspondent in the
Crimea, is the second son of the late Major-General
Peter Fyers, Royal Artillery, an officer who served with
much distinction in the last war, especially under Lorsl
Nelson, who gratefully acknowledged his valuable ser-
vices at the Battle of Copenhagen. Capt. Fyers first
joined the service in the 40th Foot, in which highly dis-
tinguished regiment he served throughout the Affgbaa
War under General Nott, and it is a curious circum-
stance that Lieutenant-Colonel Eman, of the 41st ItegGre_v:
ment, who so gloriously fell at the assault of the
Redan, was a fellow-subaltern with Captain FY"' is

VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.
James 71turston, a carpenter, and Catherine Keelin, a
woman of the town, were brought before 1:11r. Yardley,
charged with being drunk and disorderly, and asFaulting
Phillip Bradley, a police constable, No. 137 H, who
said he was on duty this morning about one o'clock, in
Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, when his attention was
called to the male prisoner, who was quarrelling with
another man and several prostitutes. They made a good
deal of noise. He begged of them to be quiet, and go
away, but they refused to do so, and he led the male
prisoner to the end of the street, when he turned round
upon him, and struck him a violent blow under the ear,
which caused him to stagger, and he fell against the
shutters of a house. When he recovered himself he
laid hold of Thurston by the collar, and the woman
Keelin then came up to him, and struck him a violent
blow on the mouth, whioh caused it to bleed, and cut
his lips. He then procured assistance and gave the pri-
soners into custody. Both were very violent and dis-
orderly on the way to the station-house.
Thurston, who is a respectable-looking man, said he
had unfortunately been drinking more than usual last
night, which carried him into excesses he would have
spurned if sober. He was not what the constable took
him to be, but a working man. While he was in liquor
he fell in with a fellow who was living with a girl of the
town, and who invariably annoyed him when he met
him. Ho got into a quarrel, the police constable came
up, and he did not know whether he struck him or not.
The woman pleaded that she was "insensibly drunk"

This was a meeting for last examination. The bank-
rupt was described as of Salvador-house, Bishopsg ate-

son's-green, Fulham, smelter and manufacturer.
The bankrupt's examination was again adjourned to
give the assignees time to properly investigate the a&
counts filed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

this morning.
Mr. Yardley said it was no excuse for beating a police-
man that the parties who assaulted him were drunk.
The male prisoner was not suspected to be a dishonest
man, or conducting himself otherwise than orderly in
general, but he was a very powerful man, and a blow
from him must have done the constable much injury. He
feed Thurston 405., or in default of payment 14 days'
imprisonment, and the female prisoner 103., or the alter-
native of 7 days' imprisonment.

POSITION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

The Polish journal Czas thus describes the posi-
tion of the Russian army in the Crimea, on the
23d ult. :

"The Russian forces occupy a line, fortified by art
and nature, forming a semicircle round the position of
the Allies, and extending from the Telegraph and Fort
Constantine, situate at the extremity of a small promon-
tory, to the impenetrable chain of mountains of Tehatir
Dagh. The main force of the Russians, consisting of
three divisions, is posted behind thatline, on the plateau
of Belbek, and facing the south. The right wing is com-
posed of a considerable corps, occupying (on the north
side of Sebastopol) the citadel of Sever❑aya, and the
Forts Catherine, Constantine, and Telegraph. The left
wing holds the fortified defiles of Aitodor and the chain
of the Tcherkes-Kerman, as far as the source of the Bel-
bek and the mountains of Yalta. The army of reserve
is stationed at Bakshi-Serai and Simpheropol. Other
troops maintain the communications between the prin-
cipal army and three other corps—namely, the one be-
fore Kertch with its right wing at Kaffa and its left at
A.rabat ; another in observation before Eupatoria ; and
the third, consisting of at least 40,000 men, which pro-
tects Perekop. The Russian troops in the Crimea still
possess two roads, by which they can communicate with
Russia ; the ono passing by the Isthmus of Perekop,
and the other by the bridge of Tchongar across the
Putrid Sea."

This Publication will consist exclusively of orivinal matter, or of
news embodied in original comments ; and it will thus be distin-

It will differ from the weekly newspapers in the exclusion of
merely borrowed news, and from the purely literary journals in the
admission of political discussion. It is intended that it shall address
itself to the principal topics in the Political, Social, and Literary
World, which will be impartially handled by competent writers,
with that liberality and independence which educated and reflecting
minds demand from those who assume to guide and repre ent public
opinion.
The publication of the Se-runner REVIEW is entrusted to Messrs.
John W Parker and Son, West Strand, to whom all communications
may be addressed.

PRINCE. MURAT AND TIIE "TIMES."

The following letter from Prince Murat, ad-
dressed to the Times, but which we have not seen
in that paper, appears in some of the Paris jour-
nals :

" Monsieur,---An article in your journal which has
just been communicated to me, tends to represent me
as an adventurous man, who would wish to profit by
the difficulties into which the Neapolitan Govern-
ment has fallen, to revolutionise the country.
Happily, you say, the
.spark is extinguished, and
what could now only end in a conspiracy in my favour,
will give place, at a more or less distant period, to the
union and independence of Italy which can only be
realised by Piedmont. Your article would lead to
the belief that in succeeding, I should have been an
obstacle to the union and independence of Italy. I
know not what proofs you can bring forward in sup;
port of that assertion. The journals occupy them-
selves a great deal with a letter written by me to my
nephew two years ago, and which without being
publicly known, was so to all those who had an interest
in being acquainted with my opinions. That letter was
not published until after Piedmont had declared by her
alliance with France, England, and Austria, as well
as by articles inserted in the ministerial journals
that she renounced all idea of aggrandisement of ter=
ritory, and that she would respect the present state
of Italy. How, then, could a change of dynasty at
Naples interfere with or injure the ideas of Pied-
mont ? Let the latter declare herself, let her raise the
standard of the union, the independence, and liberty of
all Italy, and I pledge myself here, as I did in my let-
ter not only to be any obstacle in her way, but to give
to her all my co-operation and that of all the men whom
reminiscences of the past attach to my family ; for it
would be the realisation of the ideas of my father, to
which 1 shall always remain faithful. My political and
family position make it a duty for me to abstain from
any polemical articles in the journals. I therefore wish
that this letter may serve as an answer to all attacks
which malevolence may direct against me for the future.
—Accept, &c., " LUCIEN MURAT.

ITALY.

TURIN, SEPT. 30.—Another document was pub-
lished yesterday morning in the Gazette del Popolo,
at Turin, and is without signature. It is as
follows :

_ •
"Sicilians,—The tyranny of Ferdinand Bou,rbon has
arrived at its last hour. He has vexed his subjects
and attacked the Western Powers, who will not
tolerate in the Mediterranean • a Russian pro-
Consul, and he cannot renounce this alliance
to which he is bound by conformity of prinoi-
pies and interests. The moment is supreme—it would
be folly to supersede, folly to delay it. The French
and English men-of-war before long will appear in the
Neapoltas waters. Let us rise—not French, nor Eng-
lish—but Italians, unfurling the sacred tricoloured flag.
Lost is the tyrant if he yields, because from the mon-
strous edifice of bis tyranny one stone cannot be re-
moved without its falling. Lost is he if he resist-, be-
cause against him will be raised the indignation of the
Western Powers, and the long compressed rage of the
people.
" Sicilians I Remember the atrocities of that Caligula,
the blood of our martyrs, the tears of so many widows
and orphans, the infamous sufferings of so many dissolved
families reduced to misery by that hatred which never
forgives. Malediction upon us if we ever forget the bom-
bardments, the sackings, the fires, the butcheries, the
rapes, of Messina and Catania. We have not forgotten
the churches burnt, and the Monti di Pieta' robbed,
and the priests murdered on the altars, nor the blind
and paralytic put to death in the almshouses, nor
the sick [Yarned alive in the hospitals, nor the
grey heads of old men, and children snatched from
maternal arms, impaled on barbarous bayonets. Honest
men crowd the galleys and the Ergastole, and robbers
are in the King's Palace, in the magistracies, in the
ministries, and in the first ranks of the army. They
rule us with the bastinado like the slaves of olden times,
and worse than the slaves, because they were nourished
by their masters, and we over-fed with our blood those
who flog us.
" We who now speak have been silent for six years,
considering as a misfortune any inopportune movement.
Now, with serenity of conscience, we say the day is ar-
rived. Let us banish old antagonisms and unnatural
animosities. Union amongst all honest and energetic
men, not weak or bad ; liberty is holy, and our pure
and unstained men should become apostles and soldiers
of it.

"Sicilians !—No one has the right to impose upon
you any form of Government. The sovereign people will
manifests its will, and it 'will be conformable to the ho•
nour and wants of Italy.

NEW PIERS AT WOOLWICH.

To facilitate the embarkation of rear material, from
the Arsenal•wharf at Woolwich, two wooden piers are
in the course of being constructed, and will extend as far
53 the moorings of ships of heavy tonnage. The first
was commenced about three weeks since, and is nearly
completed. It is supplied with one of Captain Boxer's
shoots for receiving shot and shell on board with ra-
pidity. Vast piles of Ordnance stores in the Ars,:nal•
yard are again accumulated, and guns of various
descriptions are constantly arriving there. The officers
of the Royal gun factory are proving from 10 to 18
guns daily, yet few shipments of that material zire
taking place for the present. The superintendence of
the transport service has been consolidated with the
storekeeper's office there, as being more appropriate to
that department.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise, since Monday, the arrivals of English wheat
have been tolerably extensive ; but fresh up to-day they
were limited, and the show of samples was small. The
demand, however, for most kinds ruled inactive, yet very
little change took place in the quotations.
The imports of foreign wheat have been trifling. Most
kinds sold slowly, yet importers were firm, and late rates
were supported. Floating cargoes commanded full prices.
Very little barley was on sale, and the trade was steady,
at fully late rates.
We Ind a firm market for malt, at fully Monday's cur-
rency.
The oat trade was steady, and really fine oats were the
turn dearer.

Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was but mode-
rate in number, and very deficient in quality ; neverthe-
less the demand for all breeds was inactive, at barely Mon-
day's currency. We were scantily supplied with sheep,
mostly in low condition. The mutton trade, however,
ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. The show of both
English and foreign calves was rather extensive, and the
♦eal trade was heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d
per 81bs. Pigs were steady, at late rates.
Mulch cows sold slowly, at from 141. to 191. ss. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

Railway Shares have given rise to very few tran-

they were yesterday morning, and this about the
average decline in the other lines; but, as compared
with yesterday's closing rates, there is no further
reduction, and in some instances a slight improve-
ment. he Foreign Shares are weak, and with

TREMENDOUS THUNDER-STORM

Yesterday afternoon, about half-past three o'clock, a
violent thunder-storm broke over the metropolis, which
lasted until between five and six o'clock, and was accom-
panied by torrents of rain such as it has seldom been our
lot to witnes'.

Thursday.—This
PORTSMOUTH, .thursday.—This port has been visited
to-day with a tremendous tsunder-storm, accompanied
with a perfect deluge of rain, by which the streets were
rendered for some time impassible. The yacht Era was
capsized at the mouth of the harbour. She belongs to
Gibbs, jun., Esq., and on board of her were seven
hands, who had a narrow escape. The vessel was
off the blockhouse with her head in-shore and all
sail set. The storm came on so suddenly that there was
no time to let go the halyards, so that the whole force
of the gale took her, and she heeled over and went down
in about two fathoms.

LIVERPOOL, '1 hursday.—About two o'clock this after-
noon a violent thunder-storm visited this town and neigh-
bourhood, accompanied with very violent peals of
thunder and vivid flashes of lightning. The rain de-
scended in torrents, and hailstones were exceedingly
numerous. Amongst the casualties which have occurred
the electric fluid struck a portion of a firework manu-
factory, in Greenland-street, where the operation of
making these combustibles was going on. The house
instantly blew up, and with the explosion a public-house,
next door, was also quite destroyed. Several persons
who were engaged in the manufactory were injured by
the explosion ; three or four so severely that it is doubt-
ful whether they will recover. The fire-engines from
Temple-court were in attendance, and succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames : the premises, however, are left
in a mass of ruins.

THE SHIP CANAL OF SUEZ.

A firman of concession by his Highness Mahomed
Said, Viceroy of Egypt, confers upon M. Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps the power to constitute a company
formed of capitalists of all nations, having for its
object the opening of the Isthmus and the forma-
tion of a canal between the two seas, under the
title of Compagnie universelle du Canal Maritime
de Suez.

The obligations of the company are :--
The undertaking of all the works of construction at
its own expense.
The payment of the indemnity due to every individua 1
who may be expropriated for the public advantage.
The duty of setting aside 15 per cent. on the net pro-
fits for the benefit of the Egyptian treasury, and 10 per
cent. for that of the original members of the company.
The right of the Egyptian Government to approve the
tariff of transit established by the company, as well as
its laws ;
A formal stipulation to maintain in the tariff an abso-
lute equality for the flags of all nations, and a prohibi-
tion to grant peculiar advantages or exclusive profit to
any one of them.
The benefits reserved to the company by the fir-
man are :
The concession of the canal between the two seas for
the term of 99 years, reckoning from the day on which
the navigation shall be opened ;

the construction of the canal, and forming part of the
public domains. These lands are almost the whole upon
which the works will have to be executed •
The division among the shareholders of 75 per cent.
upon the net profits ;
The gratuitous concession of all the public domains,
at present uncultivated, that may be irrigated and
cultivated at the expense, or by the labours, of the com-
pany, by means of the irrigating canal derived from the
Nile ;
The power to fix by measurement of the land (feddan)

'STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 4.—The market to-day has again
been exceedingly inactive, the unfavourable speculations
respecting the prospects of the money-market rendering
all parties extremely cautious in their proceedings.
Stocks are very generally light, and prices are not quotably
lower than on Tuesday, but their tendency is daily more
in favour of purchasers, and no expectation of improve-
ment appears to be entertained. The chief inquiry for
cloth has been from. the Greek and American trades, and
the Germans .are operating, but with considerable cau-
tion, in, yarns.
NOTTINGUAL Oct. 4.—There has been this week a
slight increase in the demand for inferior classes of lace
goods ; yet, although the autumn season has commenced,
the lace trade continues very quiet, and there is not so
much doing for the season as was anticipated would be
the case. The hosiery manufacturers are preparing for
the winter demand. The trade is steady. Yarns re-
main without alteration.

to this district, in which the want of a railway commu-

it so beneficial to its promoters as to ensure its early ex-
