MADRID, Sept. 18.—The Queen went yester-
day evening to the royal residence of the Prado.
Although there have been some cases of cholera,
the 6piciemy "does not make any progress.
The dissolution of the Juntas of Corunni, Orense,
and Lugo has been ordered for having organised a
central Junta in Gallicia. The most perfect tran-
quillity exists.
MADRID, Sept. 15.—The Consulting Junta of
Valencia has dissolved itself.

The Espana says that General Castaneda will be
appointed captain-general of. Catalonia, in place of
General Dulce, resigned. It is also stated that
General Zabala wiil be appointed captain-general
of Madrid, in place of General San Miguel, who
will be inspector-general of the National Guards.
There is great activity displayed now in arming the
latter force ; several companies who were unarmed
marched this morning to the barracks of San
Gil, where a depot of arms has been established,
and returned with arms.

The Government have banished Don Julian del
Valle, commander in the army, and who was at

the head of the volunteers of Madrid who formed
part of O'Donnell's forces to. Valladolid, for which
ho left at one a.m., under custody of.a civil guard.
It appears that he took a prominent part against
the Government in the affair of the 28th ult.

GREECE.

TRIESTE, Sept. 20.—Accounts from Patras, of
the 14th, state that the free communications of the
Piraeus with the rest of Greece have been resumed,
the cholera baying completely ceased. At Syra
the disease still prevails. _ _ _

A private letter from Athens of the 12th an-
nounces that the Greek Government has despatched
to Constantinople M. Barozzi,. late Greek Con-
sul at Adrianople, furnished with letters to
Redschid Pasha and to the representatives of the
foreign Powers. The Greek Government aekno*-
ledges its many offences against the Sultan, and
appeals to his generosity. It proposes to sign
a treaty of commerce with the Porto as an in-
demnity for the debt which Greece contracted with
Turkey by the late insurrection. A treaty to the'
same effect was prepared some years since, and
approved by the two Governments, but Ring Otho
refused his sigziature. This treaty of commerce
defines the boundaries of the two States, and will,
consequently, force King Otho to acknowledge the
existing limits Qf Turkey in a more formal manner
than he has hitherto done by existing treaties.
The chblera still rages with great intensity at
Messina.

PREVENTION OF BOILER EXPLOSIONS.—A meeting of
millowners and others took place at Manchester on
Tuesday evening, under the presidency of the Mayor, at
which Mr. William Fairbairn, C.E., brought forward a
plan for the establishment of a voluntary association
such as be had suggested at the late inquest at Roch-
dale, to prevent boiler explosions, and the lamentable
loss of life consequent upon them, by the appointment of
properly qualified inspectors to watch over and test the'
efficiency of all boilers and safety-valves in the works of
'members of 'the association. As a further inducement
for manufacturers and other persons using steam-boilers
to join the association, another object to be attained by
it is the saving of fuel. A committee was established to
carry out, the objects proposed 'by drawing up rules and
join.

THE LATE MURDER IN TIPPERARY.--,The Lords-
Justices have offered a reward of 601. to any person who
shall give such information as will lead to the apprehen:
sion of the person or persons concerned in the murder
of Thomas Dwyer. It will be recollected that deceased
was returning from the town' of Tipperary on the 2d
instant, when he was attacked on the road at Garry-
shane, in the county of Tipperary, and from the effects
of the injuries then received he died on the 9th instant.
THE STABBING CASE ON tHE TYNE.—The two poor
men brought out of the Ferocco on Sunday night, with
frightful wouuds in the abdomen, are still in a most cri-
tical condition. The name of the maniac is Dominico
Combings: His brother-in-law, Antonio Coscario Comb-
ing, is very ill, and quite deranged. He has been
attended by the Catholic priest, who has tried to
soothe him. The othet%poor fellow, though the wound
in his abdomen is described as of a fearful character, is
calmer, and there is more prospect of his recovery.
OPENING OF A NEW THREAD WORK.---On the even-

ing of Frinay last the workers in the employment of
Messrs. John Dick and Sons, thread manufacturers,
celebrated the opening of their new factory, designated
the Clyde Thread Mills, by a soiree and hall. The mill
is situated immediately west of Rutherglen-bridge,.'oo
the banks of the Clyde, and has been fitted up in the most
handsome manner, with the newest and most approved
machinery for the thread manufacture. It is built of
stone, and. the various flits are of more than ordinary
height, and every improvement has been introduced_
that can in any way conduce to the comfort of the work-
ers. Dancing commenced about twelve o'clock, and
was kept up with the utmost hilarity till an early hour
in the morning, when the party separated, highly de-
lizhted with their evening's enjoyment.:---Ndrth British

LEGAL JOKES UPON INFANTS.—An application to the
Court of Chancery, in a friendly suit where nobody con-
tested anything, to authorise trustees to advance a
thousand pounds out of an estate, to • educate some in-
fants, cost 1031. 14s. 6d.; a similar application for.the
same authority, to the same trustees, under the same
will, in behalf of some other, infants, costs the same;
20 similar applications; under the same will, for similar
power to the same trustees, in behalf of 20 other in-
fants, or sets of infants, as their wants arise, will cost
each the same.—Household Words.

mencement of the institution, was 1,385. The subscrip-
tions received during the year amounted to 1401., making

.INTELLIGENCE:

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,200
American and 500 Surat taken for export and on
speculation. The market was heavy, without
alteration in prices. The sales comprised 6,500
American, 300 Pcrnam and Maranham at 6d.
to 60., 100 Egyptian at 61d. to 61d., 1,500 Surat
at '3d.. to 41d., and 50 Sea Island at Is. to 2s.
ld: per 113. Railway shares were dull.
The number of ships from foreign parts arrived
in the Thames yesterday was 26, and from Ireland
2, besides 16 colliers.
The demand for money which still exists, the
best bills being done at 5 per cent., can scarcely be
taken as a proof of more activity in trade, since
very little is doing beyond what is required for
present purposes, an almost entire absence of
speculation tieing observable. Nevertheless money
is in demand, and we should make this im-,
portant distinction, that there is no scarcity, the
bankers being amply provided with means ; con-
sequently, it is want of confidence that is chiefly
observable: The numerous failures in the United
States, with the recent stoppages at Manchester,
will interfere materially with the negotiation of a
certain class of bills, and indirectly act upon paper
of a different character by raising the terms for dis-
counts- generally. Happily, our own position in
the matter of food supplies is inherently sound,
and there is, therefore, but little to apprehend for
the country at large.
A most extraordipary and unjustifiable state-
ment appears in the Journal de Constantinople,
that the promoters of the Bank proposed to be esta-
blished by British and French capitalists in that
city have renounced the' rights and privileges
secured to them under the firman which was issued
in their favour. The document inserted in the
journal in question is not signed, and is pronounced
by the promoterS to be a fabrication pure et simple.
So far from having- renounced their privileges, they
are resolved to adhere to the firman, and feel con-
fident' that justice will eventually be done them.
There is' an opportunity of quick despatch for
letters to the Ca*, of Gdod Hope, if posted before
to-morrow evening. Her Majeaty's steamer Hor-
net takes a mail, and the charge per half ounce will
be is., newspapers going free. It is probable that
by way of the Cape letters would reach St. Helena
also sooner than if they were fprwarded thither
direct frOm England per sailing ship.
The improvement which occurred yesterday after-
noon in Public Securities, upon the favourable
news from Sebastopol, has been confirmed this
