TO THE EDITOR OP THE ,SUN.

Sin, —I have observed it stated lately in two of your
newspapers that checks payable to bearer can only be
drawn upon bankers within 10 miles of the place where
issued. It was so by the Stamp Act of 11th July, 1815
(55 Geo. 111., cap. 184) but if you refer to the
amended act of 15th July, 1828 (9 Geo. IV., cap. 49,
sec. 15), you will find that the distance is there extended
to 15 miles.—l am, Sir, yours, &c.,

ITALY.

The Parlament° of Turin, of the sth, has the
following :—" The Genoa papers speak of arrests
of refugees. We have been assured that respect-
able refugees have nothing to fear. The Govern-
ment persists in the intention of maintaining in-
violate the asylum granted to all those who are not
accomplices in attempts of a nature to endanger
the State, or in other crimes."
Forty-six persons have been arrested at Modena,
for political motives in the course of the last fort-
night.

The measure of expelling all political refugees
from Tuscany having been mooted in political
circles at Florence, the Austrian military com-
mandant had disapproved of it, so that the idea
has been abandoned.
The Parlament° of Turin of the 6th inst. an-
nounces that, on the 28th ult., the Tuscan Go-
vernment had promulgated a new municipal
law. Every district of Tuscany is to be re-
presented in future by a Council General, a
tribunal, and a gonfalonier. The Council General
is to consist of the gonfalonier, the priors,
residing within the jurisdiction of tribunal, and
a certain number of councillors. The appoint-
ment of the gonfalonier belongs to the Grand Duke.
The members of the council general are drawn
by lot from among the proprietors of each dis-
trict, and the priors are chosen among the highest
tax-payers. In towns, of which the population does
not exceed 2,000 inhabitants, the priors are to be
three, and the councillors six in number. In towns
of from 2,000 to 5,000 inhabitants, there are to be
four priors and eight councillors ; in those of more
than 5,000, but under 10,000, five priors and 10
councillors • in those above 10,000, but not exceed-
ing 15,000, six priors and 12 councillors ; in
those above 15,000, but under 20,000, seven
priors and 14 councillors ; in towns containing
more than 20,000 inhabitants, eight priors
and 16 councillors ; in the city of Lucca, nine
priors and 18 councillors, and at Florence and
Leghorn 10 priors and 20 councillors. The Gon-
faloniers remain in office during four years. The
new law is only to come into operation on the Ist
of January, 1854, and the present Gonfaloniers
and Communal Councils are to continue in func-
tions until the 31st of December, 1853.
The Giornale di Roma, of the Ist inst., announces

grossi, Professor of Criminal Law in the Roman

mouth and Devonport ordinaries. The average speed
of towing round was 64 knots per hour ; but under

Cwsar presents no outward appearances of her first dis-
aster, having undergone a complete overhaul and repair
of the damages. Whether she has suffered from her
last night's standing remains to be yet discovered.

after a lengthened absence in attendance on her Majesty,

The Tyne store-ship, Master Commander Peter Wel-
lington, on being taken into dock, to have her bottom
examined, was found to have her bottom as clean and
smooth in every part as if she had come home through a

appearance in many places, especially a short distance
below the water-line, of having been worn as thin as a
sheet of tissue paper. She is to be re-coppered, and will
be refitted immediately for farther service.

chesnut, and pomegranate ! Insomuch are we
overwhelmed by the abundance, that we are almost
glad to escape to the meats—what though our
sympathies (mind, we don't say our habits !) go a
great waywith the vegetarians. Vegetarians !—can
such people remain in existence after all the allure-
ments of the cooks of modern times, of the me-
dieval ages, of the days of antiquity? Let them
listen once seriously to the syren-voice of Soyer,
and their boards, we warrant them, will soon be
groaning under animal food in plenty. Not if they
hear him (p. 150) talking of the excellence of plump
young dog, or descanting upon the agreeable taste
of a tender and youthful ass. But let them once
lend an ear attentively to his record of the joints
carved from the kid, the pig, the ox, and the lamb,
and even in their eyes the kitchen garden and the
orchard, of themselves, will become little more no-
table than a fool's paradise. Yet more assuredly
will this be the case after a perusal of the chapters
relating respectively to " Poultry," from the capon
to the peacock ; to " Hunting,' from the stag to
the elephant : to " Feathered Game," from the
pheasant to the woodcock; to "Fish," from sturgeon
to anchovy ; or to " Seasonings," from salt to
mushrooms. By the way, glancing through. the
chapter relating to fish, how it is that M. Soyer
classes frogs among shell-fish we cannot, for the life
of us, conjecture. There is one other division of
" Pantropheon," not yet mentioned, which is espe-
cially entitled to consideration. It is that relating
to " Pastry"—a subject handled by the author
with loving tenderness, and treated by him from
first to last, may we not be permitted to say?—in
a manner honourable at once to his learning and
his sensibility. The solemnity of tone observable
at moments is something very fine, and cannot fail
to command the reader's admiration. Here, for
example, is the record penned by Alexis Soyer of
what may be termed

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine:—

"157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850,

" iccuainting you with the great benefit which I have ex.
perienced by taking BLAIR'S (I. )UT and RIILUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.

" About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
In my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
2ured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some-
thing of this disease. _ _

" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no Blue In procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
,he pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.

" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
ale is so valuable, than were it not that the days of rnacic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
lered, but on the contrary I believe the teudency of BLAIR'S PILLS
towards its improvement.

" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.
"To Mr. Front, 229, Strand."

For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo-
reux, &c., &c., BLAI:.'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a
sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other
dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and for ra-
pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London; and all respectable
rledicine Vendors. Pr ce 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S Gu 0 T and RH E TIM A TIC PILLS, and observe

STATE OF TRADE.

(Fronz-th.e Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)

MANCHESTER, Oct. 7.—On Tuesday, our market
was seriously affected by the announcement that the
Turkish Divan had decided upon a declaration of
war against Russia. At once the indications of re-
turning confidence which had begun to show them-
selves a day or two before, were reversed. From Lon-
don we had reports of a great effect produced upon the
stock market ; and we found all classes of buyers, whe-
ther of yarns or goods, withdrawing from any business
they might have been previously disposed to enter into.
Yesterday we had a pacific statement from the opposite
quarter to the effect that at the Olmutz conference, the
Czar was disavowing that dispatch of Nesselrode's which
bad driven the Porte to the last alternative, and was
showing a disposition to recede from the extreme ground
which he had assumed. But nobody knows what to
believe; certainly not the slightest faith is placed in the
honour of Russia ; and people are wearied and irritated
by the rapid alternation of hope and disappointment
to which they have so long been subjected. At the
same time, the reason there is to fear that grain will still
advance, and heavy imports will have to be paid for, ope-
rates very powerfully upon the caution of merchants and
dealers. We close the week, however, with rather less of
depression than there was on Tuesday, or even yesterday.
Prices are not lower than they were three days ago ;
and there appears to be a slight increase of business in a
small way. In the present week cloths have suffered
more than yarns. We should have a good demand for
yarns for Germany if confidence were only restored, for
the harvests there have turned out well, and the general
state of trade is satisfactory. At the Leipsic fair, which
is now being held, manufactures have been freely
bought.

THE PROGRESS OF PASTRY.

" Titus Livy said, in speaking of Rome, The great-
est things have small beginnings.' This applies equally to
pastry, which appears so unworthy of attention at the
commencement of the middle ages that nothing seems to an-
nounce its high destiny. At first, in the southern pro-
vinces, people simply mixed flour, oil, and honey. The
Roman school was still in force. The inhabitants of the
north had a mind to innovate ; they employed eggs, butter,
and salt. Then came the idea of inclosing within this
paste cooked meat, seasoned with bacon and spices ; and,
from progress to progress, they at last inclosed cream, fruit,
and marmalades."

Observe—how fine is the gradation! At first
they simply mixed flour, oil, and honey—then
came eggs, butter and salt—then " the idea of en-
closing within this paste cooked meat, savoured
with bacon and spices"—and so from " progress to
progress," says the historian of food, in a burst of
allowable exultation, " they at last enclosed
cream, fruit, and marmalades. " A noble
and memorable consummation. How little did
the fabricators of that first mash of flour and
honey, dream of the approaching glories of that
inevitable cream and those unavoidable marma-
lades ! A tolerable notion may be formed of the
enthusiasm by which the illustrious innovators in
gastronomy were animated- in their stately re-
searches, from M. Soyer's version of the old story
about Vatel, one of not by any means the least
distinguished of his predecessors. Our author has
been talking about some of the feats of the epicures
of the reign of Louis Qnatorze ; and thus recounts
