SUITTIFIELD.

The show of beasts here to-day was very moderate, and
much out of condition. The few prime herds on offer sold
steadily at full prices. Otherwise the beef trade ruled
heavy at late rates. We were fairly supplied with sheep.
On the whole the mutton trade ruled firm, and in some
instances the quotations were a shade higher than on Mon-
day. Calves, the supply of which was small, sold steadily
at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. Pigs were
dull, but not cheaper.
Much cows, with their small calf, were selling at from
141 to 191 each.

THE TRANSPORT SHIPS.

The Columbo, No. 110 transpOrt, came up the river yes-
terday on her return from the Baltic, and remained nearly
an hour opposite Woolwich, for the purpose of having
some telegraphic communications transmitted from the
Commodore Superintendent's-office to the Admiralty. The
portion of the crew who came on shore gave an exciting
description of the storming of Bomarsund, where they were
within range of the guns near the place where the Pene-
lope went on shore. The redhot shot from the forts were
often very near to, although not directed against the Co•
lumbo, but at the Penelope. Had the authorities known
that the Columbo had 500 kegs of gunpowder on board,
they would not have thought her an insignificant vessel,
not worth firing at.
IThe Rubicon, No. 38 transport, arrived yesterday and
brought-up off the Woolwich dockyard. She has brought
home 28 women and children from the seat of war in the
East. The women and children are to be sent to Chat,.
ham, and they will be forwarded by the Paymaster at
Chatham to their respective destinations. The 108 women
and 118 children, who had previously arrived at Chatham,
have all been forwarded by the Paymaster of Invalids of
that garrison to their homes.
The Prince, screw steam transport-ship, now off the
Royal Arsenal, brought home and has landed three brass
field service guns, and 13 cases of muskets and small arms
taken at Bomarsund.
The Indus transport, which sailed from Southampton
on Wednesday with the Indian mails, took out a large
quantity of roasted coffee and medical stores for the army
in Turkey.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CON EXC fIA I•TGE.
Tho present week's arrival of English wheat up to our
market, coastwise, has been very limited. The quantity
received fresh up to-day was small. The few samples on
the stands met a fair demand, and in some instances prices
were the turn higher than on Monday; but the business
doing was by no means extensive.
We had a moderate inquiry for foreign wheat at full
quotations. The imports are only 2,450 quarters. Float-
ing cargoes of grain commanded fully the late advance.
Barley moved off steadily, and late rates were well sup-
ported. _

The malt trade was dull, on former terms.
Oats, the show of which was small, sold steadily, and
prices had an upward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour were steady. The top price of
flour was 55s per 2801bs.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Sept. 19.—Spener's Journal has the
following relative to the contradiction that exists,
or appears to exist, between the contents of the
Prussian circular of the 3d inst. and the assurances
of an opposite teuour, simultaneouslygiven in direct
and unequivocal terms to the envoys of France,
England, and Austria at Berlin, of which the Jour-
nal appears, however, to be ignorant :
" It is supposed," says Spener, •' that a contradiction
exists between the Prussian despatch of the 3d of
September and the instructions addressed to the Prus-
sian envoys at Vienna, London, and Paris. We must,
however, question this ♦iew of the case, because in the
circular of the 3d attention is drawn to the position
which the Confederation should assume in regard to the
four propositions of the Western Powers ; whilst in
the instructions addressed to the envoys, on the 6th
of September, the groundwork of the thought is that
efforts should be made to brink about an arrangement
between the belligerent Powers by further deliberation,
and to consider whether the evacuation of the princi-
palities having been completed by the Russians new
mediatory propositions might not be made."
The Weser Gazette, under date of Berlin, 1
16th, says :—"lt has been stated that nego- '
tiations between Prussia and Austria are still
pending, but that they are rapidly advancing
towards a satisfactory solution. Unfortunately
the former of these assertions is more certain than
the latter. Since the reply of the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg, and particularly since the declaration
of the latter, that it would remain on the defensive,
although that declaration has no groat value, being
founded only on strategic motives, the points of view
in which the two great German Powers have placed
themselves are far removed one from the other; the
susceptibilities which exist on both sides will not con-
tribute to render an undertaking easy, and if the
co-operation of the Diet of Frankfort becomes
necessary to attain that object, it will be still more

difficult. There are certainly some symptoms which
indicate that a clia.inz- may talc? plain in Prl7st.gian
bait that will not be very quickly, tor the
result of the expedition to the Crimea will b© first
waited for."

M. de Bismark Schonhausen, Prussian envoy to
the Diet, has returned from Pomerania to Berlin,
and will probably return to Frankfort as soon as
Prussia and Austria have come to an understand-
ing upon the plan to be adhered toin regard to the
attitude to be assumed by the Diet. This will de-
pend in a great measure upon the issue of the Black
Sea expedition.

the fiat delegates the duty of investigating the
matter to his clerk, who, in turn, only inquires
whether the debt is sworn to, and the plaintiff
expresses his belief that the defendant is about to
leave the jurisdiction. The order is then granted
and the unfortunate debtor arrested, very pro-
bably without notice, as in the case above alluded
to.

Now this is grossly wrong. The intention
of Parliament was, that there should be a
strict inquiry, and we earnestly hope that regula-
tions will be adopted to carry that intention into
practical operation. These orders should never
more be granted as a matter of course. The accu-
racy of the demand, the grounds in which the
belief as to the departure rest, and the fact of
previous application—unless under very peculiar
circumstances indeed—should all be clearly esta-
blished, not only by the testimony of the plaintiff,
but also of his attorney. We trust that, merely
directing attention to this subject, and showing
how the law was perverted under the present sys-
tem, will be sufficient to abate the nuisance that
has arisen, and that it may not be necessary to
apply for a legislative remedy.

The Madrid journals of the 16th, due yesterday,
have arrived ; and those of the 17th have come

THE BALTIC.

A letter from Stockholm of the 12th, in the
Hamburg Correspondent, says : " A journal
pretends that Helsingfors is menaced on
.the
land-side, and the .Aftonbladet says that Romno
and Nystadt, in the Gulf of Bothnia, have been
attacked. It appears, in fact, that a landing was
effected near Ulriscaborg, on the southern point of
the tongue of land on which 11€21singfors is situated,
and iu front of which Sweaborg stands • that bat-
teries were raised there which burnt and destroyed
a considerable number of gun-boats stationed in
that port, and that the village also was burnt
down."

The Hamburg .News contains a letter from
Stockholm of the 14th, which says :—" Yester-
day, near Grislehamm, a sharp cannonade was
heard in the direction of the south. As the fleets
have left Aland, it is difficult to know what could
have caused this cannonade."

A letter from Copenhagen of the 18th states that
'the French war steamer the Daim arrived there the
'day before from the south. A letter from Nyborg
lof the same date states that the French war steamer
ithe Laborious had left for Langelands Belt, and
'the French war steamer the Goeland for Dragoe.
DANTZIC, Thursday, Sept 21.—The Bulldog has
'arrived. She left the fleet at Ledsund on the
19th. The French fleet was gone. The Auster-
litz got on the Stockholm rocks on the 20th. She
threw her guns overboard and got off.

BfEBIORANDUM I.

The maritime commerce of nations having Dr
the world to an unprecedented extent, and conspet.,.._
having arrived at such a point that the value of cargoes
and the profits of enterprise depend more than ever on the
length and nature of voyages, it has become a question of
the malted iipportuct to attormiuo tit bolt tocka for

A very large number of ships, chiefly American, are
now engaged in observations ; stimulated by the advice,
and aided by the documents so liberally furnished by the
United States Government, at the instance of Lieutenant
itlaury, whose labours have been incessant.
Not only does that Government offer directions and
charts, gratis, to American ships, but also to those of our
nation, in accordance with certain easy and just con-
ditions.

In this country, the Government, through the Board of
Trade, will supply a certain number of ships which are
going on distant voyages with " abstract logs" (or meteo-
rological registers), and instruments, gratis, in order to
assist effectively in carrying out this important national
undertaking.
In the preface to slate edition of Johnston's " 'Wind and
Current Charts," published last June, at Edinburgh, Dr.
Buist says :--" It has been shown that Lieut. Maury's
charts and sailing directions have shortened the voyages of
American ships by about a third. If the voyages of those
to and from India were shortened by no more than a
tenth, it would secure a saving in freightage alone of
250,1100/. annually.

`.` Estimating the freights of vessels trading from Europe
with distant ports at 20,000,000/. a year, a saving of a tenth
would be about 2,000,000/. ; and every day that is lost in
bringing the arrangements for the accomplishment of this
into operation occasions a sacrifice to the shipping interest
of about 6,003., without taking any account of the war
navies of the world."

It is obvious that, by making a passage in less time,
there is not only a saving of expense to the merchant, the
ship-owner, and the insurer, but a groat diminution of the
risk from fatal maladies ; as instead of losing time, if not
lives, in unhealthy localities, heavy rains, or calms with
oppressive heat, a ship properly navigated may be speed-
ing on her way under favourable circumstances. There is
no reason of an insuperable nature why every part of the
sea should not be known as well as the land, if not indeed
better than the land, generally speaking, because more
accessible and less varied in character. Changes in the
atmosphere, over the ocean, as well as on the land, are so
intimately connected with electric agency (of course in-
cluding magnetism), that all seamen are interested by
such matters, and the facts which they register become
valuable to philosophers.
Meteorological information collected at the Board of
Trade will be discussed with the twofold object in ♦iew, of
aiding navigators, or making navigation easier, as wall as
more certain ; amassing a collection of accurate, and well
digested observations for the future use of men of science.

Council, and by which act they are by law guilty of a
misdemeanour.

Mr. Bradley stated that for upwards of 12 months,
indeed since the promulgation of the order in council,
prohibiting the burial of bodies in the churchyard, him-
self and his family had been freed from the unpleasant
smell caused by the exhalations from the burial-ground ;
but since the spread of the cholera the sexton recom-
menced opening the ground, and the consequence was,
that close to the wall of his house the body of a young
man who died from cholera was buried. Since this had
been done, the unpleasant smell increased to such an
extent that his family were afraid to open the back
windows so as to admit athorough air and the circum-
stance was altogether not only exceedingly disagreeable
to himself and family, but likely seriously to affect their
health.

Mr. Elliott—ls this done by the order of the church-
wardens ?

Mr. Bradley—l think not, sir. It is done by Brook,
the sexton, merely for the purpose of gain, while I have
no doubt he represents to the parish authorities that the
graves opened are family graves. I shall be able to
prove 1.1 witnesses that the grave opened for the inter-
ment, on the 4th instant, of the body of a young man
who died of cholera, was not a family grave, but had
merely been opened on the payment of a fee of five shil-
lings. Indeed Brook, the sexton, makes no secret of the
matter; but says he will bury anybody for a fee of from
one shilling upwards.
Mr. Elliott—You may take your summons.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTEBDAT.

Owing to the meetings at Leicester and Manchester,
the room was very thinly attended.
500 to 25 and 200 to 10 against Muscovite for the
Cesarewitch, and 500 to 15 against the Nailer for the
Derby, were the only bets laid.
In the City quotations respecting the Cesarewitch,
Balrownie was put at 30 to 1 taken and offered.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA Sept. 18.—The Austrian Correspon-
dence contains a private telegrahhic despatch from
Jassy, dated the 15th inst., which informs us that
Prince Gortschakoff would leave that capital for
Skuloeny on the following day. On the 14th inst.
he confided the Government affairs of Moldavia to
the administrative council, which is presided over
by the Grand Logothete and Minister of the Home
Department, M. Constantine Stourdza.
Prince Stirbey, hospodar of Wallachia, arrived
here yesterday. The Turkish Ambassador,
Arif Effendi, has presented to him the Sultan's
authorisation to resume the reins of his adminis-
tration. The Prince intends taking his departure
for Bucharest on the 25th. He has been nearly a
year at Vienna."

A letter from Venice, in the Moniteur, states
that important changes have just been made at
Trieste in the general command of the navy, and
others are about to follow in the civil government
of the province. The Archduke Ferdinand Maxi-
milian, brother of the Emperor, has been ap-
pointed commander-in-chief of the Marine. The
successor of General de Wimpffen as civil governor
of the Marine is not yet known.
Their Majesties the Emperor and Empress will
probably return from Ischl in the course of this
week.

THE BALTIC.

A letter from Stockholm of the 12th, in the
Hamburg Correspondent, says : "A journal
pretends that Helsingfors is menaced on the
land-side, and the Aftonbladet says that .Romno
and Nystadt, in the Gulf of Bothnia, hav 0 been
attacked. It appears, in fact, that a landing was
effected near Ulriscaborg, ou the southern p oint of
the tongue of land on which Helsingfors is sit uated,
and in front of which Sweaborg stands ' • tht it bat-
teries were raised there which burnt and destroyed
a considerable number of gun-boats stationed in
that port, and that the village also was burnt
down."

The Hamburg News contains a letter from
Stockholm of the 14th, which says :—" Yester-
day, near Grislehamm, a sharp cannonade was
heard in the direction of the south. As the fleets
have left Aland, it is difficult to know what icould
have caused this cannonade."

A letter from Copenhagen of the 18th states that
the French war steamer the Daim arrived them the
day before from the south. A letter from Ny borg
of the same date states that the French war steamer
the Laborieux had left for Langelands Belt, and
the French war steamer the Goeland for Drage&
DANTZIC, Thursday, Sept 21.—The Bulldog has
arrived. She left the fleet at Ledsund on the
19th. The French fleet was gone. The Aus ter-
litz got on the Stockholm rocks on the 20th. She
threw her guns overboard and got off.

ITALY.

A letter from Florence states that the reigning
Duchess of Parma, for the purpose of attracting
capital and facilitating the circulation of it has just
created a Bank, the capital of which is divided into
shares, soma of which her Royal Highness has

taken in her own name and in those of her sons.
Tie nid other per-
sons of distinction have followed the example.
A letter from Naples states that his Majesty has
conferred on the Cardinal Archbishop of Naples
the grand- cordon of St. JantariuS as a Mark of
distinction for his zeal and devotedness during the
raging of the cholera. His Majesty has also made
some valuable gifts from his private purse for the
relief of the sufferers, and the Queen has also given
for the same object all the money which she. P
sessed. •

MONTENEGRO.
The Ost. Deutsche Post of Vienna has' the
following from Cattaro of the 10th :—" Great
apprehensions are beginning to be entertained
in Montenegro since it has become known that
the Austrians have occupied the Principalities)
and that the Russians are forced to evacuate
them. Colonel Kowalevrski had fascinated Prince
Danilo, who had allowed himself to be entirely
gained over to the Russian cause, notwithstanding
the advice of experienced men ; so that there -was 3
Russian and an Austrian party in the principality;
the primate Petrovich and Boscovich belonging t°,
the latter. But the Russian party was the stronger 0.
the two, and Prince Danilo forced the adverse
mates to seek a refuge abroad. But now Prince Danilo
is of a different opinion. and has resolved 'to EmuA
:
one of his confidents to Vienna in order again
seek the protection of the Emperor of Austria. .41
M. Bieladinowich has been entrusted with this znil;
sion, and is moreover the bearer of letters addresseu
to the Emperor Nicholas, which he is to defiler
to Prince Gortschakoff. ie is also to explain 11
the latter the solitary condition of Montenegro, an
to ask the Russian ambassador for further instruc-
tions. Hostile incursions from Montenegro
the Turkish territory have ceased for some tit°,
past."

The Sane a this port last night from Boston, hand. came up the river
this morning, where, after anc
salutes with the platform battery. e exc
Jacinto gleft
Boston on the 3d inst., and is bound to the Baltic,
whither, after coaling and taking in provisions at South-
ampton, she will take her departured
in a few ays, for
the purpose of watching the operations of the allied fleets.
The San Jacinto is a flue screw steamer, of about 1,800
tons burden, and 400-horse power, and carries 10 guns,
two of which are heavy traversing guns to throw 68-
pounder shot or shell, and weigh 12,0001b5. each, the
others being broadside 68-pounder Paixhain guns. The
officers and crew number 267 souls. So soon as the ice
closes in the Baltic, the San Jacinto will return, via
Southampton, to the West Indies, but she is expected
to form one f a numerous squadron of observation to
be sent to the Baltic next spring, in case the allied
Powers should then find it necessary to undertake im-
portant operations against Russia.
FIRE IN THE WORCESTER CORN MARKET._At half-
past two o'clock on Wednesday morning a policeman in
the county force passing up Silver-street, from the rail-
way station, saw flames bursting out of one of the side
windows of the house occupied by Mr. Hartland, baker,
whose premises form the corner of Silver-street, on the
one hand, and of the Corn-market on the other. He
raised an alarm, which awoke the inmates—viz., Mr.
Hartland and his wife and child, who were all soundly
sleeping in the room immediately over that in which the
fire was raging He managed to make good his escape
by the front pi4-t of the house, which is very large and
roomy, and toilaring his wife and child there also, and
they were got but of the window by means of the fire-
‘ucape, which was speedily procured from the station-
house. In about two hours the fire was entirely ex-
tinguished.— Worch,ester Chronicle.

Total number of Policies granted from December, 1852, to
December, 1853-1,194.
'Under the following heads are briefly enumerated the leading
principles of this Society :

OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY.
1. A Life, Assurance may be effected either by One Paymeat, or
by an Annual Premium.
2. Policies may be effected wren or without the privilege of
withdrawing one-half of the Annual Payments. If with-
out this privilege, the rates are lower.
3. A Life Assurance may be effected on the life of another, on
Joint Lives or Survivorships.
4. Annuities, Immediate, Deferred, or Contingent, will be
granted; also Endowments for Children.
5. Naval and Military Men, not in active foreign service, as-
sure I without extra charge, and allowed to go abroad with-
out forfeiture of Policy, on payment of an extra Premium,
according to climate.

In the event of the Assured (when on the Withdrawal System)
not requiring to continue the Policy, on its surrender one-half the
annual payments will be returned by way of purchase of his interest
therein. By this means, apprehension of great pecuniary loss and
doubt as to the intrinsic transferable value of each Policy is re-
moved. its cash value being fixed and determined beforehand by the
Society at one-half the annual premiums paid thereon : a vast class
of society will thereby be admitted ; and every indivilual, while
steadily pursuing one object—a provision for his family at death—
will have, by the plan of this Society, a door open to his savings,
which will never be closed against his wants or his use.
Prospectuses, Report of last Annual Meeting, Forms of Proposals
for Assurance. and every descr.ption of necessary Blank Forms, with
Tables of Rates, and full information on all points, furnished, on ap-
plication at 26, Ccirnhill, or at any of the Company's Agencies.
