BOROUGH HOP,

Since our last report there has prevailed a steady con-
sumptive demand for new hops, yet no improvement has
taken place in the quotations. Old hops have changed

duction in their value. Last weeks ;

RAILWAY INTBLLIGENCE.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND,

The report of the directors stated that the revenue
account for the half•year ending the 31st January
showed that £47,700, or 6s 4d per train mile, had
been received, and £17,456, or 2s 51d per train mile,
had been expended in working, £325 rent of the
Old Meldrum Junction Railway, and £4,932 for in-
terest and commission on loans, leaving a balance of
£24,988, to which was added; £3,015, the surplus
from the preceding account, making £28,003. From
this was deducted £5,532 for dividend on new
shares, at the fixed rate of 41 per cent. per annum ;
£10,916, the proposed dividend on the preference
stock, at the rate of 71 per cent. per annum ; and
£10,382, theproposed dividend on the original stock,
at the rate of 71- per cent. per annum ; together
£26,630, leaving a balance of £1,373. The results
of the working afforded a dividend on the preference
and original stocks of the company at the rate of
71 per cent. per annum, with a balance of £1,373,
as compared with a dividend at the rate of 61 per
cent. per annum and a balance of £1,536 in the
corresponding half-year. The working and other
expenses amounted to 38 per cent. of the receipts,
against 36 per cent. at the corresponding period.
A long-pending arbitration between the company
and certain traders on the Aberdeenshire Canal had
just been concluded. The compensation claimed by
those traders, in respect of the closing of the canal
during the construction of the railway, amounted
to £16,898. The award, including interest and ex-
penses, amounted to £8,230, which had accordingly
been paid. This payment, together with a balance
of £1,300 still due by the company to the contrac-
tors, exhausted the company's liabilities on the ori-
ginal construction account. The report complained of
the hostile course adopted by the Scottish North-
Eastern Company in promoting a bill in the present
session of Parliament for authorising a line, about 22
miles in length, from Limpet-mill to Kintore, instead
of jointly promoting a bill next session for a junction
line at Aberdeen to connect the Scottish North-
Eastern and the Great North of Scotland railways
for the mutual interchange of traffic between the
two companies. With a view to protect the interest
of the company, the directors had assumed the re-
sponsibility leasing the Deeside Railway at a rent
in perpetuity equal to 6 per cent. per annum, and
they also acquired an interest in the Deeside Ex-
tension Railway to the extent of £30,000. The
capital account showed that £995,918 had been ex-
pended on the company's line and stations, and
£225,622 in the stocks of other. railway companies,
making £1,221,540, and leaving a balance of
£88,077.

few symptoms of improvement. Prices, however, rule

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITTPS
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions ate carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

ROME.

A letter from Rome of the 15th, in the DebatB,

says :

" Political arrests continue here. The Mayor of
Bracciano, M. de Angelis, a most esteemed merchant,
has been put in prison, as also the baker Verzani,
accused of belonging to the national committee, as
if every Roman did not belong to it. Four weeks
hack the advocate N. (for motives of pru-
dence I do not give his name), was taken from his
bed, and shut up in the prison of Saint Michel; up
to the present moment he is ignorant of what he is
accused. He may remain for years in this position,
unless some event happens which will open the doors
of the political prisons ; and some day or other,
after two, three, or ten years of preventive deten-
tion he will be set at liberty without having even
undergone an examination or known what was his
crime. So it is that things are carried on here.
But here is still better : six months ago two boys

were quarrelling in the street, when the youngest
aged eight years, called a gendarme who was pass-
ing, and denounced his companion as having written
in the crown of his hat ' Victor Emmanuel for ever.'
Upon this the worthy gendarme seizes hold of the
child end the proof of accusation, and takes them
to the police ; this child of fourteen years is sent to
the Carceri Nuovi, where, after a detention of six.
months, he has just been condemned to remain im-
prisoned for four years ad majorem Des yloriam.
If any senator questions this fact, he may satisfy
himself as to its truth by applying to the unfortu
nate father, a poor workman in mosaic, residing at
No. 125, Via del Babuino."

RUSSIA.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg announces that
the bridge over the Dwina at Dunaburg being com-

could be forwarded in the same vans all the way
from St. Petersburg to the Prussian frontier. St.
Petersburg is now connected with Berlin and Paris

-2- (Royal exquisitely 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of' Teeth, enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by tne closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the mouth (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

"It is believed at the Navy Dep, rtment that
several of our gunboats are in pursuit of the rebel
steamer Alabama, or ' 290.' This vessel has never
been in American waters, but only in British waters,

mations by our Government upon that of Great
Britain for the acts of a vessel that has no stamp of
nationality other than British.
" The Agricultural Department has received
gratifying intelligence from various sections of the
country of the success attending the culture of

The French gunboat Lavoisier, Capt. Rebonre,
had arrived at New York from Sydney, Cape
Breton. There are now a number of French war

Havannah dates are to the 10th inst. It was
stated by a reliable merchant at Havann.h that the
alleged Confederate steamer burnt on the island off
the Cuban shore and her crew taken by a National
steamer, is no Confederate, nor was she loaded with
cotton, as stated by newspapers. She was a slaver,
and discharged 200 negroes in the port of La Mu-
lata, north of the island, belonging to wealthy and
influential parties at Havannah. When the captain
found he was pursued by a Federal man of-war he
ran the steamer on shore and set fire to her imme-
diately. The interested parties made it appear that
the vessel was a Confederate, laden with cotton, and
that the Nationals had sat her en fire, which fire
required only 12 hours to consume her totally.
It was positively asserted in Havannah that the
Confederate steamer " 290," with 13 other Confe-
derate men-of-war, was in Mobile. This is at least
false in so far as it relates to the " 290."

MEXICO.

Vera Cruz dates are to Oct. 1. General Forey
landed at Vera Cruz on the 25th, but he had been
preceded by the following proclamation :
" Mexicans ! When the Emperor Napoleon en-
trusted me with the command of the new army
which will very soon join me, he ordered me to
make his true intentions known to you. When, some
months ago, Spain, England, and France, having
the same object to obtain, saw themselves led to
join together for the same motive,the Government,of
the Emperor sent to Mexico only a small number of
soldiers, leaving to the most aggravated nation the
principal direction to exact the reparation of com-
mon grievances. But by a fatality which it was
difficult to foresee, the parts have been changed,
and France has remained to defend alone what she
thought to be the interest of all. This new situa-
tion does not cause her to shrink back. Convinced
of the justice of her reclamations, and fortified by
her favourable intentions towards the regeneration
of Mexico, she has persevered, and will more than
ever persevere, in the object which she has proposed
to herself. It is not against the Mexican people
that I come to make war, but against a handful of
men without scruples and without conscience, who
have trampled upon the rights of men, have
governed by the means of the most sanguinary
system of terror, and who, in order to sustain them-
selves, were not ashamed of selling to foreigners,
piece by piece, the territory of their country. It
has been tried to exeite against us the national feel-
ing, pretending to make you believe that we come
with the object of saddling upon the country a Go-
vernment to our liking. Very far from it. As soon
as the Mexican people shall be liberated by our
arms, they will freely elect the Government which
they please. I have the express order to declare to
you this. The strongminded men who have come to
join us deserve our special protection ; but in the
name of the Emperor do I call, without distinction
of parties, all those who wish for the independence
and the integrity of their country. It is not the
policy of France, on account of a personal interest,
to meddle with the internal dissensions of foreign
nations ; but when for legitimate reason she find her-
self obliged to interfere, it is always in the interest
of the country where she exercises her action_ Re-
member, Mexicans, that wherever her banners float,
as well in America as in Europe, it represents the
cause of the people and of civilisation.
" FoREY, the General of Division, Senator,

Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Army
in Mexico.

" Vera Cruz, Sept. 24, 1862."
According to the latest information, the health
of the troops in Vera Cruz, and the crews of the
different ships in the harbour had much improved,
the cases of yellow fever rapidly decreasing.

TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION
-a- (Royal Seal granted 17th July. 1860), Sets or partial
Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the month (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life
time, as well as for mastication and articulation. Mr.

and all breeds moved off heavily, at a decline in the quota-

was 4s 8d per Sibs. Prime Down and half-bred sheep
commanded a steady sale, at full prices ; but inferior breeds
wei e heavy, and 2d per 81bs cheaper. The supply was mo-
derately good, and the best Downs sold at 5s 8d per 81bs.
We have to report a dull inquiry for calves—the show of
which was good, at 4d per Sibs less money. The quotations
ranged from 3s 10d to 5s per 81b. There was a fair demand
for pigs, at full prices ; but mulch cows were very inactive

was 301 b. When the explosion took place the water
rose and formed an artificial waterspout, which fell
on the surface of the water after producing a consi-

7HE CIVIL WAI? IN AMERICA.

(From [le Tones' Correspondent.)
NEW YOAli, OCT. 17.
The continued rise i❑ gold that on Wednesday
reached a premium of 374 per cent., causing an
actual depreciation of the paper dollar from 100 e.
to 621 c., has not only alarmed merchants and
bankers, but all the noisy class who clamour for
the vigorous prosecution of the war and the exter-
mination of the Southern people. If Gold were a
citizen of the United States who had taken the oath
of allegiance, and were amenable to civil or martial
law, his treasonable sentiments as openly ex-
pressed in Well-street, and his no less treasonable
acts in persisting to rise to a frightful premium,
when Mr. Chase commanded him to remain peace-
ably at par with green hacks and other paper, would
subject him to immediate incarceration as a more
dangerous rebel than " Stonewall" Jackson. Gold
discourages enlistments. Gold condemns the Presi-
dent's proclamation of freedom to the slaves. Gold
repudiates Mr. Chase as a financier. Gold dis-
trusts the power of the Northern armies to subju-
gate the South. Gold has no faith in the ability
of the Administration. Gold questions whether
General M'Clellan will ever take Richmond, or that
he can do anything better than go into winter
quarters. Gold has serious misgivings about the
solvency of the Federal Government. Gold doubts
whether the country will pay the taxes. And, to
sum up all its treason in one clause, Gold expresses
in its own irrefutable way the opinion of impartial
and unimpassioned observers in Europe and in Ame-
rica that an honourable peace on the basis of
Southern independence, though it would be a good
thing for the South, would be a much better thing
for the North, and Gold is a good logician. Sooner
or later such a peace must be the result of the war,
if the Northern people and Government are not as
utterly demented as Alexander the Great, or Charles
XII., or Napoleon Bonaparte, or any other fool of
empire who did not know when be was well off, and
ruined himself by grasping at the unattainable.
And if Gold remain obstinate it will make many
converts to these ideas before Christmas, though
not, perhaps, before ruin has overtaken the incre-
dulous.

One result of the gold panic—for such it really
amounts to—rejoices many. The contractors who
depend upon Europe for the supply of the articles
which they have bound themselves to deliver, are
checkmated by the premium. They expected to
make profits of 39, 40, 50, and even 100 per cent.
out of the needs of the nation; but, with gold vary-
ing from 35 to 371, with the prospect of a rise to 50,
their gains may turn to losses. No one will pity
them, come what will.
