MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.
We had a very limited supply of English wheat-on-sale
in to-day's market. Although the attendance of millers
was by no means numerous, the trade ruled steady, at
fully Monday's quotations. Foreign wheat, the show of
which was moderate, moved off slowly. Importers, how.
ever, were firm in their demands, and prices were well
supported. Floating cargoes of grain wero in good re-
quest, at very full prices. Fine barley was toles ably firm,
at late rates. Inferior kinds met a slow sale.

Malt sold steadily, at last week's quotations. .
Good sound oats were steady, at full prices ; but inferior
kinds ruled izactiTe.

Beans, peas, and flour were firm, at Monday's advance.

BERLIN, Oct. 22.—The Cabinet of Vienna has made
it officially known to most of the German states, that
" if a reform in the Federal Constitution is proposed,
Austria will be ready to support it, as the present vexa-
tious position of Germany arises, in great part. from the
Federal Constitution at present in force." Difficulties
have arisen about the Austrian Concordat with the
Pape. Even the Austrian bishops complain of the powers
coec-ded to the Holy See.
CORNWALL RAILWAT.—The works are progressing sa•
tisfactorily on the several divisions of the line. We are
glad to find that the bankruptcy of Messrs. C. Mare and
Co. will not delay the construction of the Saltash Bridge,
which is being proceeded with by the company
With
great vigour. The valuable plant of the contractor,
under the agreement, becomes the property of the com-
pany, and as about half the amount of the contract Is
still unpaid, it 'is thought that the loss by the failure of
Messrs. Mare and Co. will be but 'wall-

COLLISION.—THE BRIO ALDERMAN' THOMPSON AND
AMEnICAN STEAM-PACKET ERICSSON. —The s I earner
which ran into the brig Alderman Thompson, in the
Straits of Dover, and cut off her stern, is proved to be
the American steamer Ericsson, from Bremen to South•
ampton. The commander of the Ericsson states that
the cause of the accident arose from the captain of the
brig not observing the la" of sailing. The commander
of the Ericsson also denies that he refused to stop to
render assistance to the brig.
ON BILLS OF ExcHANGL
THE NEW LAP( —Tia-mnr
row (Thursday) the new act on Bills of Exchange and
Promissory Notes will take effect. The act has a retro-
spective operation on such securities as have become due
within six months. It is enacted that from and after
the 24th October all actions commenced within six
mouths after the same shall have become due and pay-
able, may be by writ of summons, in the form annexed
to the act. On filing an affidavit of personal service, or
by proceeding in the mode pointed out by the Common
Law Procedure Act, a plaintiff may proceed to final
judgment for debt and costs with interest. Within a
period of twelve days defendant can apply to a judge at
chambers for leave to appear, and leave can be granted
on showing merits, on such terms as may be imposed.
A. judge may order a bill to be placed in the hands of an
officer of the court. The expense of noting a dish°.
noured bill, and other expenses, can be recovered. One
summons may be issued against all parties to a bill. The
act is to apply to the Courts of Common Pleas of Lan-
caster and Durham ; and her Majesty may, by an order
in council, direct the act to apply to all courts of record
in England. The act is not to apply to Ireland or Scot-
land, and is to be cited as "The Summary Procedure
on Bills of Exchange Act." The object of the new law
is to prevent vexatious and frivolous defences to actions.

SPORTING NOTES.

ALL IS LOST NOW.

William Day has achieved a triumph. For the Cesare•
witch he expressed an opinion that Sultan could not be
beaten, and " Honest John" emphatically declared that
Sultan was the best horse he ever tried. In fact, Sultan
could beat Nabob easily at even weights and give Joe
Miller " three stone !" These facts justified the con&
dence which was placed in the horse for the Great Event
of the Second October Meeting, and although his party's
expectations were then disappointed, yet the result of the
' race for the Cambridgeshire has proved that neither
Honest John nor " His Boy William" committed an
error of judgment. Still the horse was comparatively
"friendless" at the close, although perhaps with the
exception of Mr. Davis few book makers have won an
the race, for prior to the Cesarewitch Sultan was
freely backed for the Cambridgeshire. The inglo-
rious exhibition which Crown Pigeon made can
only be accounted for by the fact of the horse's
getting somewhat badly off. He never showed pro-
minently in the encounter. That his party were in
earnest to the close and sanguine of success is abun-
dantly proved by his steadiness in the betting. When
the horses passed the Duke's Stand Escrow held a clear
lead, with Mary in his track, Sultan on the upper
ground. The race, however, from this point seemed a
" certainty" for Sultan, for young Goater there "took a
pull at him," and looking steadily round seemed to mea.
sure with his eye the capabilities of his opponents. Van.
dyke seemed a "dead 'on." Throughout the morning
rumours were afloat that be would not start, and he
might just as well have remained in the stable, for like
the apothecaries' bottles he only served to make up a
ohow. Veteran figured even more respectably than I
anticipated. It is said that he had been so highly tried
that poor old Orinoco could not have won at 7st Iolb.
He, however, turned out to be a second Dreba for his
party.

The finessing and kidding about John Osborne's, too;
was shameful. Bearpark at first weighed for Lord
Alfred, but after he had been paraded on the ground,
and the betting had nearly closed, he was walked quietly
home again. A more disgraceful case of "milking"
was never witnessed on the turf. Everybody was pre-
pared for Robgill's performance. Verily, Tom Parr is
a closer man.

I can hear of no great winners on the Cambridgeshire.
The principal bookmakers had laid their money prior to
tie Cesarewitch. I am glad to state that Mr. Davie
throws in for a good sum Lord Anglesey backed his
horse, whilst an Irish gentleman is reported to be a
good winner.

A FRESH MAN.
