It appears that the committee, appointed some time
ago. at Harleston, to obtain subscriptions to the amount
of 12,0001. from local parties interested in the construc-
tion of the lino from Twetsball to Harleston, have not
as yet succeeded in obtaining the sum required to enable
the contractors to proceed with their works. The com-
mittee have been requested to continue their labours in
the hope of ultimate success.

EAST LANCASHIRE.
The arbitrator between this company and their con-
tractor has awarded to the latter 28,2101., subject to
the opinion of the Court as to whether the contractor
is entitled to 10 per cent, over his schedule prices.

COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK, JAN. 18.
The demand for money is still so urgent that
stocks do not advance beyond the quotations of
last week.

In all branches of trade there was a pervading
dullness. Stocks, breadstuffs, and cotton were
suffering under this influence, and had been un-
able to sustain previous prices. Freights, however,
were firm and higher. Exchange on London was
quoted at 109/ to 1094.

THE PUBLIO THOROUGHFARES.—Notwithstanding the
indignation so generally expressed at the state in which
the streets of the metropolis were suffered to remain
after the recent fall of snow, and the imposition of
heavy fines in some cases on persons whose duty it was
to clear them, it is a fact that the quantities of snow
and slush the partial thaw has suffered to remain in ex-
posed places, and in the suburban districts of the
metropolis, appear likely to do so until the local autho-
rities are shamed into a proper degree of attention to
their. duties in a matter of much importance. In

illusta.tion of the correctness of these remarks, we
would direct the attention of the public to the pave-
ment immediately beyond the Marble Arch entrance
to Hyde Park. The footpath outside the park railing
from the arch to the corner of the Edgeware-road, has
been covered with snow to the height of several feet,
which is actually remaining at the present time. It has
now assumed a black and dirty condition, as may
naturally be supposed, and has the effect of completely
hiding the view of the park from the road, at the same
time that, from the want of the natural current of air
through the park railings, the road, which it need
scarcely be remarked is one of the busiest in the metro-
polis, is in such a state of rottenness as not, to be equalled
in even the most neglected portions of the town. It
reflects infinite disgrace on all concerned, and possibly
this notice of it will have the desired effect of removing
so foul a nuisance from one of the most important altos
in the metropolis.

A NEW THEATRE IN THE EAST.

Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane, has pur-
chased the extensive freehold estate on which Shadwell
workhouse stands, for ,the purpose of erecting a large
and commodious theatre on the site thereof. The estate
was sold by the Stepney Union, under an order of the
Poor Law Board, at the Auction Mart, yesterday. It
comprises an area of 17,066 feet, enclosed with brick
walls and carriage entrance ; the spacious building used
as the workhouse, standing on 3,800 feet of ground, and
numerous other brick buildings ; also a large garden.
We cannot doubt but that the enterprise of Mr. Smith
will set the East-end of the town alive. It is somewhat
singular that he should have purchased a workhouse to
convert into a theatre, at the very moment when his
out-door relief to the poor in the way of soup, bread,
&c., is creating such a sensation in the neighbourhood
of Drury-lane. During the late inclement weather,
Mr. Smith's philanthropy would have been a great
boon to the inhabitants of Shadwell.

ITALY.
The wife of Marshal Count Radetzky died at
Verona on the 12th.

All the inhabitants of Brescia who were impri-
soned at Mantua for, political offences have been re-
stored to liberty.
We learn from Turin, Jan. 14, that 4here had
been a report current during the last few days, that
the Government had decided to increase the army
by a knew levy, and to send Chevalier Massimo
d'Azeglio on a special mission to Paris. Although
the report obtained such consistency that M.
d'Azeglio received not a few compliments on his
supposed mission, there is no truth in it ; the Go-
vernment having wisely determined to take no
steps in such a sense, save on the combined advice
of England and France.

The legal proceedings with regard to the late
riots in the Val d'Aosta are going on actively.
The Government has dismissed several of the
mayors of the province, for having been weak
enough to allow the insurgents to obtain possession
of the arms of the National Guard. Some more
priests have been put under arrest, making the
total of those implicated in the movement ten.
In central Italy constitutionalism is making
steady progress. An admirable, and, under the
circumstances, a courageous pamphlet has just been
published by Signor Vincenzo Salvagnoli, a Floren-
tue lawyer, one of the most eloquent men in Italy.
This pamphlet is nominally an essay, on the life
and writings of Count Pietro Verri, the well-known
Lombard economist of the last century, and advo-
cates warmly the principles of independence, con-
stitutionalism, and free trade, holding up England
as a model for the contemplation of Italian
liberalsm.

There have been some more arrests at Milan ;
amongst others, that of M. Arpesani, a person who
is not supposed to have ever interfered in politics
in any way.

Various reports are current in Lombardy as to
a proposed amnesty, upon the marriage of the Em-
peror of Austria, to those sequestrated by the decree
of February last ; but as, acording to the most
probable of these, the said amnesty is to be coupled
with the condition that the persons so amnestied
shall return to Lombardy, there will in reality be
no amnesty at all ; and, at all events, the interna-
tional question with Piedmont, involved in the
case, will not be touched.

SPAIN.
The Queen appeared at Madrid on the 16th for
the first time since her confinement.

The Duke and Duchess de Montpensier left Ma-
drid on the 13th for Seville.

England.

force of this antagonism, one of the prin

cipal organs of the Court of his Imperial

Majesty the CZAR has been recently filled
with attacks, against the French and British, of
the most out-spoken and vindictive character.
Moreover, it was already known. that the Minis-

tern of the AUTOCRAT had been formally assem

bled in the metropolis of his dominions, to take
the suggestions of the compromise lately offered
by the Allies of Turkey into serious and imme-
diate consideration. It was likewise understood
pretty generally that the sentiments cherished in
regard to that proffered compromise by the ad-
visers (so called) of the Emperor NICHOLAS
were anything but calculated to predispose
them in favour of its acceptance. On the
contrary, even the least observant felt satisfied
that the final Note of the Powers must, in all
human probability, prove abortive in its operation
as a means of effecting the reconcilement of past
differences—accompanied or preceded as it would
be by intelligence of the advance of the combined
fleets into the Black Sea from their Beycos an-
chorage. A movement of that kind on the part
of the maritime armaments sent by France and
England from their station in the Mediterranean
to the waters of Constantinople, had all along been
declared by the CZAR to be incompatible with the
preservation of tranquillity. In plainer terms, it
had been long intimated by Russia that the ap-
pearance of the French and British squadrons in
the Euxine would. be regarded by her as tanta-
mount to a formal declaration of war on the part
of the Cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries.
Whether this warning assurance has been in any
degree exaggerated, must now be learnt in this
country almost immediately. A preliminary to
the acknowledgment of a rupture between Russia
on the one side, and France and England, as the
allies of Turkey, on the other, has already be-
come audible in the despatches received within
the last few hours, via Paris, from Vienna,
informing the world of the total rejection of the
Final Note of the Four Powers by the Imperial
Russian Government.
. Meantime, let it not' be forgotten that the
limit affixed by the Sublime Porte to the period
within which the Russian troops are required to
evacuate the Principalities, extends over an inter-
val of not more than forty, days altogether, accord-
ing to an important communication, dated the 9th
instant from Constantinople. Neither must it be
overlooked that distinct orders have very recently
been transmitted to Prince GORTZCHAKOFF from
the Cabinet of his imperial master—enjoin-
ing him on his allegiance to effect the passage of
the river Danube at the earliest practicable

opportunity. Seawards, moreover, accounts
from the seat of war would seem to be not
one jot more propitious. Notwithstanding the

NiON.EII MARKET

AND
(lOMMEECIAL INTELLIGEIVCE.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000
American taken for export. The market closed
heavily, without change in prices. The sales com-
prised 5,000 American, 300 Pernam and Maran-
ham at sid. to 7td, 200 Egyptian at s,td to 9d.,
and 1,500 Surar at 3d. to 4id. per lb. Railway
shares were steady.

In Mark-lane to-day, business was dull, and
prices were scarcely maintained.
In adverting a few days since to the extra charge
of 2d. per cwt. upon all sugar taken away by water
from the dock warehouses, we entered into no par-
ticulars, but the following are now supplied to us.
In February last the Dock Companies lowered
their rates about 15 per cent., which it was con-
sidered brought the charges down to a reasonable
level. In July, however, another paper was issued,
as follows

"EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCK COMPANY.
" Revised conditions of the Prime or Consolidated Rate,
to be applied to all goods under that rate if landed
on or after the Ist August, 1854.
" THE PRIME OR CONSOLIDATED RATE

Includes all expenses fur lan ling, wharfage, weighing or
gauging at landing ; coopering, or mending for housing ;
marking, sampling, housing, weighing for actual deli-
very it within twelve months after landing) and deliver-
ing by land ; furnishing landing and delivery weights,
tales, or gauges and strengths ; surveying and fnrnish-
ing certificates of damage, and rent for twelve; weeks
from the date of the ship's commencement of discr,harge,
or first landing from craft, excepting where it is;other-
.wise stated. It is charged upon the nett weight, and on
all goods to which it is affixed, unless notice be. given
previous to the final weighing or gauging by the impor-
ters, of their desire to have them placed under the land-
ing
rate.
" July, 1854."
"As nothing is stated, either in this paper or in the
table of revised rates published on the 15th February,
of any charge on the delivery of sugar by water, and as
such a charge had never been made previously, the
words "delivering by land" did not, it is believed, strike
any one as implying a charge for delivering by water.
" On the 12th August, however, a charge was made
of 2d. per cwt. on some sugar shipped by the writers of
the following letter, which not only took them by sur-
prise, but also eaused equal astonishment to the+ dock
companies' officials ; fur on inquiry being made at the
Dock-house as to what the charge could mean, no expla-
nation could be given, and the chief clerk in the General-
office of the East and West India Dock Company sent
down a memorandum to the warehouse, of which the
following is a copy : _ _

"Messrs. Cole; cannot understand why the annexed
has been sent up, the goods being on the Consolidated
Rate.

(Signed) GEo. WOOD,
17th August, 1854."
To which the warehouse keeper replied in the follow-
,ng memorandum :

BORO UGH HOP.

As the new hops are coming down very light, the duty
is still called only from 50,0001 to 60,0001. All kinds are
in good request, and new qualities are selling at from 181
to 211 per cwt. Last week's imports were large, viz.,
1,238 bales from Hamburg, 211 from Antwerp, 269 from
Ostend, 7 from Dunkirk, 299 from Rotterdam, 12 from
Ceylon, 1 from Calais, and 166 from New York. —Mid and

HOLLAND.

We read in the Echo of the Hague of the 19th :
—" The Department of the Finance in Holland
has just published an account of the amount of
taxes received during the first 8 months of the pre-
sent year as compared with the corresponding
period of 1853. The total for 1854 is 36,894,391f1.
44c., and for 1853 it was 36,779,4421 3c. (The
florin is 2fr. 11c.) The financial situation of the
country continues to show a constant improve-
ment.

EGYPT.
A letter from Alexandria, of the Ist inst., in the
Afoniteur says :—" Since the departure of Said
Pacha, the most complete tranquillity has prevailed
in Egypt. According to the last accounts from
Constantinople, Said Pacha is said to have pro-
mised to the Porte a fresh reinforcement of 10,000
men, and orders have been for the concentration at
Alexandria of all the disposable troops. It is also
intended to send several batteries of artillery. A
regiment of English cavalry, intended for service
in the East, is shortly exhected at Suez from India.
The Egyptian Government immediately gave the
permission demanded by the English consul-general
for the passage."
