LATEST FOREIGN NEWTS.

FRANCE.

Prince Napoleon, who is completely recovered
from his late indisposition, visited the Emperor at
St. Cloud on Saturday.
The Moniteur publishes two imperial decrees,
one extending from the 31st December, 1853, to
the 31st July, 1854, for the temporary suppression
of the additional navigation duty (surtaxe) usually
imposed on corn, flour, and other articles of food
imported in foreign bottoms ; and the other inter-
dicting until the 31st July, 1854, the exportation
of potatoes and dried pulse.
Another decree nominates Captain Bonfils, of the
French navy, Governor of Guadaloupe, vice Cap-
tain Aubrey Bailleul, recalled to France on his own
application.
The Moniteur publishes the convention con-
cluded on the 30th June last between the French
Minister at Mexico and the Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Mexico, for the payment of the sums due
to French subjects ; and the Moniteur requests all
persons residing in France who have demands to
make on Mexico to send them in to the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, or to the French Legation in
Mexico.

The Courrier du Pas-de-Calais states that, at the
request of the Mayor of St. Omer, the Emperor
has given 30,000 fr. for the fountains of that place.
His Majesty has also given 5,000 fr. to the poor of
the town.

It may be remembered that the municipal coun-
cil of Dieppe, having offered the Hotel-de-Ville of
that town as a gift to the Emperor, his Majesty
refused to accept it on the ground that the ex-
penses of the civil list were already too great to
permit him to charge it with any additional burden.
Queen Christina, the Duke de Rianzares, and
her two children on Saturday visited the Hotel des
Invalides. Her Majesty was received by the Go-
vernor of the Hotel, General Count d'Ornano, and
by all the staff. She visited and minutely ex-
amined the tomb of the Emperor and the chapel
in which his remains are deposited. Her Majesty.
appeared much moved in contemplating the latter.
The Queen also visited the infirmary, the library,
and other parts
.of the establishment. In the
course of the visit a female named Brulon, who
hold§ the rank of a sub-lieutenant, and is a mem-
ber of the Legion of Honour, was presented to the
Queen ; her husband was killed in battle, and she
has served seven years in his stead. She was se-
verely wounded, and was admitted to the Inva-
lides. This was fifty-three years ago, and she is
now aged eighty-two.
At the Bourse on Saturday the settlement
proved in favour of the sellers. At first the nu-
merous operations for the fall entered into for the
next account depressed the renter, which went down.
to 74.90 and 74.85. Afterwards there was a re-
action for some minutes, during which the Threes
rose to 75.15. Sellers then came forward rapidly,
and quotations soon fell to 74.80. Later in the
day they dropped to 74.60, which was the closing
price, being a fall of 50c. from Saturday. The
price of Consols of the day was not posted at the
Bourse.

The Cortes will very probably be convoked for
the 15th November. There is nothing positive with
respect to the alleged resignation by certain generals
of the posts conferred on them by the new Cabinet;
and it is said that the Cabinet will not accept the
resignations, if offered. The provinces generally
have received with satisfaction the nomination of
the new Ministry. General Narvaez is expected at

THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)
LEEDS.—The woollen trade continues in a similar state
to that we reported last week. The markets in both We
cloth-halls were very dull and inactive both on Saturday'
and on Tuesday. The merchants are buying with cau-
tion, evidently only to meet immediate requirements ;
while, on the other hand the clothiers are anxious to sell St
rather lower prices. The trade in the warehouses has bee&
very dull and inactive this week ; we have not bad
quieter week for some time. There have scarcely
any buyers in the town, and the few that have been liele
kept their purchases within a very moderate limit.
BRADFORD.—The unfavourable characteristics of last
week's market have marked the transactions of this etti,y.,
There has been little doing, and that little with a decline
of prices, which we believe has in some instancdete es beelt
considerable. There is no panic, but a general Tml-
nation to avoid making stock at present high p
Wool
rices,
and where orders run out, machinery is stopped..
has been the firmest in price. A moderate business has
been done in bright-haired wools, but for downs an
half-breds there is no demand. Noils and brokes aill
well.

founded for that express purpose. We may not be able
to do all we could wish, but we may do a great deal ;
we may stir up and assist and rally round us local efforts ;
we may by degrees establish an increased number and
improved description of life-boats ; we may continue, as
we have done, to reward and encourage those who risk
their lives to save others ; we may endeavour to awaken
general interest on the subject. But our capability of
usefulness will be proportional to the assistance afforded
us by the public.
To that public we must, therefore, again and again
appeal, and we have every confidence that we shall not
do so in vain.—The Life Boat.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—OcT. 1.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbourn.)

IN RE F. LANGAN.

The bankrupt, described as a wine merchant, of Ox-
ford-street, applied for his certificate. He owed to un-
secured creditors 7071. ; assets about ss. in the pound,
after paying the expenses. It appeared, from the report
of the official assignee, that the bankrupt had come to
the court on hie own petition on the 13th April last.
He had been bankrupt in 1837, paying then a dividend
of 2s. sd. Both before and after that date he had car-
ried on the business of wine merchant at Paris, and had
returned to this country after the revolution of 1848.
He had subsequently held a situation as town traveller
to a house in the city, at a salary of 3001. a year ; he
had then commenced business on his own account with
a small capital of about 2501.
Mr. Pennell stated, in answer to the court, that the
assets had realised 2301., and that of the creditors
returned at 7071., 4581. had been struck off as having
no claim. .

Mr. Crouch, for the assignees, offered no opposition.
At the time of the bankruptcy nearly the whole of the
property was in the hands of certain creditors ; but,
with the assistance of the bankrupt the whole had been
recovered by the assignees. His conduct had been
most praiseworthy, and the assignee hoped that he would
receiv' a certificate of the first class. _

Mr. Lucas, on behalf of the bankrupt, discussed the
circumstances of the trading, and contended that the
case was wholly one of unavoidable misfortune.
His Honour said there was much in the conduct of
the bankrupt to commend. He was not a mere adven-
turer, but was honourably distinguished from that class,
having commenced business with a capital of 250/.
Having regard to his conduct both before and since the
bankruptcy, the court would give him an immediate
certificate of the second class.
London, England, 1853-10-03

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 20th ult., in the Ger-
man Journal of Frankfort, states that the Bene-
dictine Monks are about to found a vast college at
Rome, for the novices of all parts of the world.
They also contemplate uniting all the abbeys
hitherto existing in a state of isolation.

NAPLES, SEPT. 24.—A royal decree has appeared,
which says :—" The traffic of ships coming from
Newcastle to the ports of the Two Sicilies will be
provisionally suspended." It is generally expected
that this decree will be followed by a general im-
post on all vessels coming from England. A
steamer from Liverpool came in yesterday with the

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Minister of War has just decided
that the new uniform lately introduced into the
Belgian army, and worn by the 6th regiment of
the line, is to become the general dress of the Bel-
gian infantry, with this exception, that the buttons
are to be of silk in place of metal. This new uni-
form, as already stated, exceedingly resembles that
worn by the Austrian infantry.

GREENWICH.

Active measures are being taken thoroughly to cleanse
and purify the several parishes comprised in the Green-
wich union, as being the best means to the prevention
of cholera. Dr. Milroy, medical inspector of the Gene.
ral Board of Health, on Friday attended a special meet.-
ing of the board of guardians, to hqld a conference with
the medical officers, in the coursEfOr which various mea-
sures of precaution were brought underdiscussion. Re-
solutions were agreed to, that thwmedical officers of the
iih
union should act as a kind of sanitary inspectors ; that
they should report every case of

the hospital,the and was principally intended to enforce on
students and on medical men generally a
proper
sense of the duties and obligations of the profession to
wards the public and towards each other. He dwelt
with peculiar effect on the moral and social responsi-
bilities of medical men, and rejected the common impu-
tation that, as a body, they were inclined to scepticism
and doubt. From the peculiar nature of their studies,
and their constant contemplation of disease and death,
they might sometimes pay too much attention to secon-
dary causes, and forget the first great cause ; but it was
not true, in these days at least, that the medical profes-
sion was more inclined to unbelief and irreligion than
others. The discourse was listened to throughout with
deep attention, and concluded amidst the applause of all
present.
Miss CUNNINGHAME'—We ( Cialignani) have received
two letters from Genoa, complaining of the—misrepre-
sentations o Mao conduct of Miss Margaret Cunningham
contained in the letter of "An Englishman," copied hit'
this journal from the Post, which is calculated:to creed
an unjust prejudice against that unfortunate youngladY.
The Englishman states that she distributed the prohi-
bited tracts at Lugliano, the day previous to her doing
so at Benabbio, and that she was assaulted by the en-
raged peasantry with stones in consequence. This, our
Genoa correspondents assure us, is unmitigated false.
hood. Miss Cunningham did nothing of the kind, nor
would she have distributed any tracts at all, but that she
was in entire ignorance that her so doing was an offence
against the law. Under such circumstances, every ge-
nerous mind must extend it s sympathy to the unfortunate
captive, and join in the hope almost universally expressed
of her speedy deliverance from the consequences.

We were tolerably well supplied with foreign stock to-
day. The demand for it ruled steady, at full nrices.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were slightly on the increase, and in
improved condition. For all breeds, as the weather was
favourable for slaughtering, and as the attendance of buy-
ers was good, the demand ruled somewhat brisk, at fully
last Monday's advance in the quotations. The primest
Scots were worth quite 4s 6d per Blbs.
The arrivals from the northern grazing districts amounted
to 2,210 short horns, from other parts of England 580 of
various breeds, and from Scotland 72 Scots.
There was about an average supply of sheep on sale ;
but the general weight of most breeds was by no means
heavy. On the whole, the mutton trade was less active ;
but we have no change to notice in prices. The primest
old Downs were worth 5s 2d per Blbs.
Calves were in short supply, and steady request at Fri-
day's advance in prices of from 6d to 8d per 81bs. The
primest calves were worth 5s 4d per 81bs.
We had a slight improvement in the sale for pigs, the',
prices of which had an upward tendency.

ITALY.

A letter from Rome of the 20th ult., in the Ger-

dictine Monks are about to found a vast college at
Rome, for the novices of all parts of the world.
They also contemplate uniting all the abbeys
hitherto existing in a state of isolation.

NAPLES, SEPT: 24.—A royal decree has appeared,
which says :—" The traffic of ships coming from
Newcastle to the, ports of the Two Sicilies will be
provisionally suspended." It is generally expected
that this decree will be followed by a general im-
post on all vessels coming from England. A
steamer from Liverpool came in yesterday with the
yellow flag, and was put into a five days' quaran-
tine. The Neapolitan Board of Health is only
waiting official returns of cholera from Eng-
land to put the long quarantine laws into practice.
Trade is unusually dull. The exportation of
Spanish dollars continues, and large orders to buy
silver are still arriving.
Another decree extends the permission to import
all sorts of grain into the Two Sicilies, duty free, up
to the end of May, 1854.

" Instead of bringing with them health and protection from disease,

Sept. 25, 1853.
PEOPLE of ENGLAND,—The above is lite-
rally what has b: en said by the doctors of Newcastle against
the doctors sent by the Government to treat the cholera in the north.
What think you of this? Is it not most conclusive of what we have
for so many years endeavoured to make you sensible—viz., that in-
stead of using medicines for the cure of diseases doctors use deadly
poisons? But then it is only when such rivalry as that at Newcastle
occurs that the truth comes out. 0 tempora! 0 mores !

LONDON.

A fatal case of cholera has occurred in Martin-street,
Friar-street, St. George's, Southwark. The death took
place on the 27th September, but the body is not yet
buried, although there are four more inmates in the
same house.

A great amount of diarrhoea, in many cases of a cho-
leraic character, prevails in the neighbourhood. A.
severe case of this nature has just occur ed in Great
Tower-street.

Dr. Melier, the commissioner from the French Go-
vernment, accompanied by Dr. Sutherland, one of the
medical inspectors of the General Board of Health,
examined the infected districts of Newcastle. He ac-
companied the medical officers in the house-to-house
examination in the system introduced by the board, and
stated that he was thoroughly satisfied with it. But he
expressed his extreme surprise at witnessing the condi-
tion of the population in the lowest districts of the town.
He had been called upon to visit some of the worst con-
ditioned of the French towns, but ho had never Been
anything so bad in structure as the houses and arrange-
ments of the worst and most severely visited portions of
Newcastle, or as the state of filth in which the popula-
tion there existed.

Mr. W. COOKE feels the greatest pleasure in announcing that the
Grand Mythological Burlesque Spectacle each Night increases in
attraction, and the pleasing and instructive nature of the subject
has already gained the attention of Parents and Guardians, who
nightly flock to the Amphitheatre with their younger branches to
witness the astounding and classical effects introduced in this un-
rivalled production. In order to keep up the uninterrupted chain
of novelty, an engagement has been entered into with Signor
CARLOTTI and Signor FRANCOIS, who will introduce their
matchless Feats as performed before the RaJah of Nagpore. These
extraordinary Artistes are pronounced incredible.

pointment, to meet the young lady, from whom he had
received many letters, and whose company he had kept
for some time as a suitor ; that he merely said to her,
"Oh, how do you do ?" at the same time laying hold of
her hand and withdrawing it from that of complainant,
upon which complainant seized him by the collar, and
then defendant admitted he struck the complainant.
Magistrate (to defendant)—Are you going to marry
the young lady ?
Defendant—Not that I knows of, after this. (Laughter.)
Magistrate (to complainant)—Are you about to marry
her ?

Complainant—Not exactly, your worship.
The magistrate said that as he did not conceive the
assault was of a very serious nature, he should merely
fine defendant ss.

SOIITHWARK.—WiIIiam Alison, a retailor of Bri-
tish wines, was summoned before Mr. Combe for unlaw-
fully selling wine, being a fermented liquor, during
divine service on Sunday morning.
The defendant pleaded guilty as to the selling, but
contended that it was not an exciseable article, conse-
quently there could be no breach of the law.
Mr. Combe said that he had committed a breach of
the law, as British wine came within the meaning of the
act.

The defendant here said that he did not consider that
he had broken the law. He had kept shops on the Mid-
dlesex side of the water, and sold wine on Sundays, and
received the approbation of the magistrates, who said it
was better than vending gin to the public. His wine
was not fermented, therefore it did not come under the
act of Parliament.
He called the maker of the wine, who endeavoured to
make his worship believe that such was the case, but he
did not succeed.
Mr. Combe told him that he had pleaded guilty to the
summons, and there could be no doubt that he was so,
as it was well known to every man or woman of com-
mon sense that wine was fermented.
The defendant here said that he had a license from
the Excise.
Mr. Combe remarked that that very fact put him
under the Excise laws, and he had better not repeat the
offence, for they might proceed against him. He should
not fine him this time, as he believed he acted in
ignorance of the law, but he should order him to pay
the costs.
