AUSTRIA.

A Vienna correspondent on the 211 assures the
Dresdener Zeitung that the four conditions con-
tained in the French note of the 22d of July would be
positively refused by the Russian Cabinet, and that
the official negative reply wis expected in a few
dap. The information given you yesterday on
this subject has this morning been confirmed. A
Cabinet messenger yesterday morning brought
Prince Gortschakoff confidential communications
relative to the views of his Government on the sub-
ject of the guarantees demanded by the Western
Powers from Austria. According to the Copirte
Zeitung Correspondenz, the Russian note will con-
tain no definitive answer, but clear and full expla-
tions will be demanded of Austria. "As no defi-
nitive reply can be given until these explanations
have been given, the guarantee question is not
likely to be settled before the new year.', Should
this prophecy be fulfilled it will be a matter of

tie consequence, as tins year's campaign cannot last
above six weeks or two months longer.

ITALY.

SPAIN.
Advices from Madrid of the 29th state that the
Union Club was closed the day before by order of
the Government.
A detachment of National Guards intimated to
the members that they must disperse, and the order
was immediately obeyed.
Other clubs of less importance were closed at th.
same time.

In order to satisfy the public feeling which es'
ists against Queen Christina, and at the same time
to cover her departure, a decree was about to be
issued sequestrating her property and suppressing
her pension until the pleasure of the Cortes has
been taken on the matter.

Madrid was tranquil.
General Van Halen, Conde de Peramcamps, is
gazetted President of the Supreme Tribunal of
War and Marine, vice Baron de Meer, whose re-
signation is accepted.
The battalion of Cazadores of Tarragona is de-
clared dissolved for the late mutiny at Sarria. ; and
the light battalion of Africa is to take the name of
battalion of Madrid, and to supplyits place.
General O'Donnell has decided on the suppres-
sion of the Queen's Guards and the organisation
of the Halberdiers.
From the subjoined telegraphic despatch, it will
be seen that Queen Christina did not leave Madrid
without an attempt being made to prevent her. It
is clear that her departure was altogether supported
by the Government :
" BAYONNE, Aug. 30.—An insurrectionary movement
took place at Madrid yesterday on account of the de'
parture of Queen Christina. The troops, in conjunction
with the National Guard, removed some barricade!
which had been raised, and put down the insurrection.'

TRIAL OF FORTY THIEVES.—The Court of ItsalAy

gang, a man named Lalourcey, who was sentenced t 5,12
years' hard labour, recently made revelations whic,.
inculpated fourteen other persons. A searching iljcisl
tl?
tigation was made, and the result was that the
authorities considered that there was sufficient grouen,
to cause the prosecution of five out of the fourte,e.o
one of them being Lalourcey himself. These 1,4
were accordingly arrested, and were on Saturakr
brought to trial before the Court of Assizes. Laloureei

The declaration of Garibaldi has caused great
.liscontent among the Mazzinian leaders. Their
papers are now daily abusing Garibaldi, With
,04 much fervour as they had formerly praised
him. Up to the time of that declaration
he was, according to them, the bravest
soldier, the ablest general, and the most un‘
blemished patriot under the sun of Italy. Nov,
all is changed, and this time he is the tool of
the Jesuitical Government of Piedmont, a luke-
warm adherent of the national party, an indifferent
chef de batail on, a downright apostate in fact. A
protest against his declaration, said to have been
signed by the officers of the Roman Republic, has
been published in some Mazzinian papers; to
which Garibaldi has replied in the most effective
manner, in a very few words, by requesting the
editors of those journals to furnish him NVitb the
names of the officers subscribing the protest.
It appears that when Cardinal Antonelli was in-
formed, in an official way, of the intentions of this
Government with regard to the convents, he ao-
knowledged that, so acting, the Sardinian Govern-
men+ Ras not moved by any hostile feeling against
the Church, but solely on account of the peculiar
circumstancesejectment would be effected with all
possible delicacy. We are also informed that go!at
fear of revolutionary outbreaks prevails at the
Final Court ; and this, perhaps, explains the un-
expected mildness with which the recent measures
of the Piedmontese Government have been re
ceived by Cardinal Antonelli.

FRANCE.
With the exception of some remarks in the Con'
stitutionnel on the Customs returns published by-
the Moniteur, and a notice in the Pays of the de-
spatch from the Prussian Minister, M. de Marl"
teuffel, which we gave yesterday, there is nothing
of any interest in the, leading columns of the Pl"s
journals of this day. The Constitutionnel says
The progressive development of national prosperitf
in presence o the war in the two extremities of EurePe
is a remarkable fact. By a just chastisement, the COw
sequences of a rupture of peace fall exclusively on the all.
thor of it. Whilst Russia is expiating the faults of th?
Czar by the interruption of her maritime commerce Oa
the destruction of the revenue of the Customs, France,
like England, tranquilly pursues her course of el;
inertial enterprise. This is not mere assertion. It
not founded on inventions, like the Russian bulletins,
hut on official returns by which the true state of France
is shown to her friends and her enemies. The Public
have only to turn to the account of the revenue of tbe
Customs published by the Moniteur to see what the
rations of our foreign commerce have been during the
last seven months. It will be seen that not only hal
our foreign trade not fallen off, notwithstanding the sus'
pension of the trade with Russia, but that, on the CO
trary, it has made new progress, and that there is a Orr_
siderable augmentation of revenue. The revival rd trade
manifests itself in the most evident manner, and, with
the co-operation of a good harvest, we may exPee,,
great movement in manufactures and commerce for the
end of the year."

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE:

CITY. TWO o'C f,OCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 10,000 balei, including 3,000 taken
for export and on specu'ation. The market closed
firmly, without alteration in prices. The sales
comprised 250 Pernam and Maranham, at sd. to
7id., 300 Egyptian at sd. to Bid., 700 Surat at
3d. to 4d., 50 Sea Island, at ls. id. to ls. 7d., and
the remainder American. Railway Shares were
firm at higher rates.
The monetary and commercial advices from the
United States by the Atlantic steamer at Liverpool
yesterday are not of a very satisfactory character.
The dates she brings are to the 20th inst. Failures
of consideration still continued to be announced
and reported. One of them, that of Messrs. Henry
Sheddon and Co., was connected with commercial
affairs exclusively, it appears, and is said to have
arisen out of heavy bill acceptances for the accom-
modation of Texas cotton planters, and shippers
who have neglected or been unable to meet
their engagements. Another large failure, the
names of the parties to which are not
given, would seem to have been connected
with the stock and share speculations, a.l it
is reported that the suspended house was " one of
the most responsible endorsers of the Erie paper,"
meaning, it may be presumed, paper issued by the
directors and speculators to support the market in
Erie railway shares and bonds, the prices of which
had been greatly depreciated, and the securities
themselves much discredited by directorial mis-
management. Evidently there was no imme-
diite prospect, but rather the reverse, of any
abatement of the railway imbroglio, which was the
primary cause of the difficulties which had been
experienced, and still prevailed, in the money mar-
ket. Nevertheless, the New York Banks had all
the appearance of being in a healthy condition,
both as respected the amount of circulation, depo-
sits, and specie on hand. The deposits, represent-
ing to a certain extent unemployed capital, had
been for some time past on the increase indeed,
and such a fact comes in stronger proof of the
embarrassed state of credit. The 'New York Aip-
2*egand 'ommercial List remarks that, with all this
favourable position of the banks, there was a de-
cided indisposition to dscount any but short-dated
and choice bills. Long-dated paper, say at four
and six months, even with otherwise respectable
signatures was " difficult of negotiation, even at
the exorbitant rates of interest now charged by the
note brokers." As a consequence capitalists and
money lenders preferred to loan their money at
call for which 6 to 7 per cent. could be obtained
Phan to employ it in the discount of bills, or in
railwaypaper at the enormous rating, which ranged
from 10 to 24 pe: cent., as thus catalogued :
Loans on call from 6 to 7 per cent.
Prime bills from $0 to 90 days, 10 to 12 do.
Prime four and six months, 12 to 15 do.
Railroad paper, 15 to 24 do.
This state of affairs created much embarrassment
to commerce, but more still to the prosecution of
railway enterprise. Various new undertakings
would be reduced no doubt to a suspension of
operations, whilst others more advanced would
haie great difficulties to surmount for the comple-
tion even of such portion of their lines, the works
of which were in the most forward state.
From the Monthly Shipping List, compiled by
Mr. Miller, of the Jerusalem Coffee-house, we find
that there are 58,936 tons of the berth for the
different ports of Australia, of which 4,585 ore for
Van Diemen's Land, 18,013 for Sydney, 26,653
for Melbourne, 5,852 for Adelaide, and the rest for
other parts.

It was scarcely to be expected that the rapid
rise of yesterday in Consols, without any special
cause in action, would be followed up, or even
supported, to the same extent to-day. Dealers
and speculators would appear to have been of this
opinion, and have been prudently realising their
profits upon the rise this morning to the partial
relief of the less fortunate operators for the fall.
Otherwise there is no apparent reason why Con-
sols which left off yesterday flush at 95 to
I for money, and 957, to 96k for account,
should have gradually receded this morning to 95/ to
for money, and 95i to for time, which are the
actual quotations. Reduced Threes have been done
at 96, but the last bargain was at 95g. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., from 96g at the opening, ars3
now 95g. New 21 per Cents., 831. Bank Stock
has been bought at 208 k and 2101 ; Long An-
unities, 4 11-16 and 41 ; India Stock 226 ; India
Bonds, 3s. premium ; Exchequer Bills, ls. to 4s.
Premium ; Exchequer Bonds of 1859 at 984 and 98g.
The dealings in the Foreign Stocks have gene-
rally been numerous, but in particular bonds there
Lave been several transactions. Spanish have been
active, but weaker ; the Three per Cents. have
ranged from 381 to 3712, and the New Deferred
from 181 to 18i. Russian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. are quoted 90. Mexican Bonds are sup-
ported at 241 to 25. The Turkish Scrip is 6k
and 6.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds 6to Mexi-
can 244 to 25, Peruvian 71 to 73, ditto 3 per
Cents. 52 to 54, Portuguese 4 per Cents. 40 to 42,
Russian 5 per Cents. 99 to 101, ditto 4i per Cents.
86 to 88, Spanish New Deferred 18g to 18k, ditto
3 per Cents. 38 to 38k, ditto Certificates sto 5/,
ditto Passive n to 41.

The settlement of the account i the Railway
Market is going off steadily. Yesterday's highest
prices are not current to day, and this is most ob-
servable in Great Western, Midland, and North-
Eastern. The French shares, however, still tend
upwards, and there is more doing.
Mining shares are dull, and also the Banks.
South Australia are 1/. better.
