THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 11, 1849

improvement on the quarter is 21,1161., which would
show an improvement in the incomes of persons of
the middle class to the amount of nearly 3,000,0001.
per annum more than it was in the quarter ending
10th October, 1848.

The Post-office still appears in a highly satisfactory
position, thanks to the indefatigable exertions of Mr.
ROWLAND HILL. Many improvements have been
effected at a considerable expenditure, affording
greatly increased accommodation to the public, and
still there is an increase of 66,0001. on the year,
and of 3,0001 on the quarter. In the Crown
Lands there is an increase of 39,0001. fer the
year, no change whatever on the quarter.
A vast improvement could be effected in the adminis-
tration of this department ; if managed with the same
attention which a private individual bestows on his
own affairs, it is not too much to say that 500,0001.
per annum could easily be realised. What can we
think, however, of the stewardship under which " The
New Forest," containing more than 60,000 acres of
land in one of the finest counties of England, which
would probably sell for 1,800,0001. or 2,000,0001., if
submitted to public competition by auction, not only
produces no revenue whatsoever, but there is actually
a charge of 2,3041. 103. fur management during the
past year, over and above all returns what-
soever? This glaring abuse, this flagrant waste
of public money, must speedily be reformed.
The nation requires it ! The over-burdened
tax-payers demand it, and the Government must
comply with their reasonable request. The only
remaining item of the ordinary revenue, the Mis-
cellaneous, shows an increase both on the year
and quarter—on the former of 121,3401., and on the
latter of 7,9791.
Of the extraordinary branches of the revenue there
is an increase in the " Imprest and other Monies,'
and also of the " Repayment of Advances" during
the year. The improvement is, however, nearly
balanced by the China Money, of which the last
instalment was received during the year 1848.

We cannot conclude our observations without
alluding to the pleasing fact that the country is no
longer expending more than its income. In place of
a deficiency, which has so often been apparent, there
is at length a surplus revenue after providing for the
charges on the Consolidated Fund, and for the pay-
ment of Supply Services in England in the quarter
just terminated of 544,8871.

After a multitude of victims, averaging in round
numbers from 10,000 to 20,000, have been sacrificed
to that devastating scourge which may now-a-days
be as correctly termed the European as the Asiatic
Cholera—the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers has
been determined by a writ of supersedeas. How
many individuals might have been spared from de-
struction by a somewhat snore humane display of
unanimity among the late Commissionerslwe shall not
pause to conjecture ; but certain it is that
hundreds, nay thousands, have been cruelly
saerificed to squabbles as disgraceful as they
were ill-timed and interminable. With the
successors of these very crochetty and quarrelsome
gentlemen rests the responsibility of making
,up for
their deficiencies, by the wholesome and practical re-
forms introduced in the more vitiated quarters of the
metropolis. Until we see any sufficient indication to
the contrary, we shall continue sanguine in our esti-
mate of the ability and the good intentions of the new
Commissioners. It will be observed with satisfaction
that among them are comprised members of some
of the most important classes of the community—a
nobleman of active business habits, an engineer of
world-wide celebrity, a barrister-at-law, a general
officer, four officers of the Royal Engineers
a Fellow of the Royal Society, a builder of great emi-
nence, and among the foregoing two of the popular
representatives. Profiting by the example of their
predecessors, it is earnestly to be hoped that these
gentlemen will avoid all those occasions of dissen-
sion which, while bringing odium upon them col-
lectively, is calculated to paralyze all their better
exertions. They must have recognized, in the de-
clension of credit perceptible in the public feeling
evinced towards the late members of the Commis-
sion, that no posstole advantage can accrue
from the irritable advocacy of theories as
fantastic as they are chimerical. What is
required in these periods of public emergency, when
a terrible disease is ravaging he capital, is not any
ingenious device, principally remarkable for its
novelty, but a speedy, simple, and general employ-
ment of the ordinary measures of purification. GOD
knows there is ample room for labour in this direc-
tion, and that the energies of the Commission may
be readily engrossed in the routine of such plain and
un-intricate proceedings. As if to illustrate the state-
ment that there are nests of disease festering amidst all
the wealth and magnificence of London, the same im-
pression of our journal, which announces the appoint-
ment of the new Commissioners of ,Sewers, contains
the account of a deplorable case brought under the
attention of the magistrate of the Thames Police-
court yesterday. It will be there observed that the
brutality of a ruffian' who:is son-in-law to the keeper
of a penny lodging-house in Blue Anchor-yard, Rose-
mary-lane, brought to light the excessive filth of that
miserable locality. On rescuing from the prisoner
two unfortunate boys who had been beaten by him
over the head and shoulders in a savage manner with
a blackthorn stick, the policeman witnessed in the room
of this penny lodging-house a scene of squalor and
wretchedness, the existence of which is a blot on the
civic escutcheon. The room in question, according
to the witness, was a very small one, containing no
furniture of any description. Sixteen men, women,
and children were huddled together on the floor, all
of them in rags, and some of them almost is a state
of nudity. The apartment did not appear to have
been cleansed for a considerable time, and the impu-
rity of the atmosphere was consequently intolerable
Aft r these particulars, there cannot surely be felt
any surprise at the supplementary statement of
the policeman, that several cases of cholera had
occurred in the house and in the adjoining ones, which
were equally filthy. If such is the foul condition of
those localities on the surface, it may be conjectured
how much attention is paid to their subterranean
purification. But the case is far, unfortunately, from
being isolated. Instances equally distressing might
be multiplied from all the metropolitan pariehes
indiscriminately. In one direction we find the atmo-
sphere polluted by the deleterious gaseslissuing from
an overgorged graveyard, where the very sods are
reeking with rottenness ; in another' the air is
poisoned by the vapours rising from an open cesspool,
or by the equally obnoxious exhalations from the
premises of some disgusting manufactory. here
ventilation is rendered impossible by the closeness of
some miserable little court, the resort of habitual
mendicants ; there the water consumed by a whole
district is pumped in the immediate vicinity of a
stagnant sewer. Surely these evils betokenby their pro-
longed continuance an insane indifference on the part of
the community, as well as a most culpable negligence
on the part of the authorities. So long as the Thames
is contaminated by the vast quantities of decomposing
substances and feculent refuse poured into it daily,
hourly, and even momentarily, while the metropolis
itself is still choked up with filth, and rendered
the perpetual abiding place of contagion—so long
will the Commission of Sewers be disgraced in the
eyes of the suffering community. It remains with
the newly appointed members of this Commission to
remove their official discredit, and in so doing to
benefit the entire population, and render the capital
of England salubrious, instead of destructive. In
expecting them to do this we are looking for the per-
formance of no miracle. We are only demanding
what is required at once by common sense
and common humanity. We feel that, with-
out making on our own part some exertions
of this character, the national prayers and
humiliationewri
el will be
gu
e ionlysing a mockery of Gon's:infinite

themselves. Let the new ly.electedp Commissioners but
enter upon their important labours with a due recog-
nition of their responsibilities,
and the ill-repute of
their office may be happily ;an
d speedily dissipated.
Let them feel that although those labours- are in
many respects Herculean ; though they have, in the
sewers of the capital, to cleanse more than the stables
of Elis ; though, in the shape of many deadly
epidemics, they have to destroy a more horrible
monster than even the Lernean hydra; though they
have, in the indignation of the public, to grapple

with an Antagonist stronger than the lion of Nernea

—that, nevertheless, all these things are cle arty
practicable ; and that the most difficult amongst
them may, by a combination of probity and energy,
be reduced from a dream to an achievement.

TRE FRENCH REPUBLICS

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The trial of the accused of the 13th June was to
commence on that morning, at Versailles, and great
preparations were making in that city for the opening
of the High Court with all due state and solemnity. The
accused, who are in custody, were removed on the
night of Tuesday, in omnibuses strongly guarded,
from the Conciergerie to Versailles. Among those
who are in custody, are the following representatives

The accused are 67 in number, of whom 29 only
are In custody.
The National Assembly, on Tuesday, rejected M.
PELLETIER'S motion for the seizure of corporate and
communal property, and for the establishment of 3,000
banks to lend money to the ouvriers, by a ma-
jority of 433 to 5. The proposal of M. PELLETIER
did not differ materially from that made by M.
PROUDIION last year. The greater number of the
Montagnard representatives abstained from voting.
The Journal des Debats publishes the following
report of the conclusion of the discussion in Commit-
tee on the demand_ for additional credits for the
Roman expedition :
" The committee charged to examine the credits de-
manded for the expedition to Rome yesterday closed its
discussions on the questions relative to the affairs of
Italy. The groundwork of these questions were prin-
cipally entered into by two of the Members, M. Victor
Hugo and M. Thiers. M. Thiers developed the opinion
' which he had before given in his barest'. He took the
mote proprio as the basis of the policy which should be
pursued, and declared himself perfectly satisfied with
that document. He passed the highest eulogium on the
Roman expedition. The taking of the bastion No. 8
was in his eyes a feat of arms which might be com-
pared to the battles of Arcole and of Lodi, and to the
most glorious deeds of the Republic and of the Em-
pire; and the result obtained by our negotiations
might, he said, be compared with the success obtained
by the treaties of Camp* Formio and Tilsit. M.
Victor Hugo placed the question in a point of view
diametrically opposite. He confined himself to the
letter of the President, which in his opinion summed
up the whole national policy ;in the Roman question.
Ihe whole discussion, he thought, should bear on that
letter. The comparison between it and the motu proprie
should, he said, be the basis of the deliberations of the
Assembly. He thought that the Assembly should sup-
port our Government, our Cabinet, and our diplomacy in
a sense of firmness, and not in one of weakness. He
feared that the majority would, by a timid vote, give the
Cabinet an excuse to draw back. He saw a serious
danger in any schism which might take place on a ques-
tion of such importance between the President and the
majority. M. Mole, M. Janvier, and M. do Monta-
lembert supported the observations of M. Thiers, while
M. de la Moskowa and M. Casablanca looked at the
question in the same light as M. Victor Hugo.
General Oudinot gave several explanations, which
were supported by documents, which it is stated
will not be made public. The President of the
Council and the Minister of Foreign Affairs attended
the Committee. They communicated to it several
documents, and declared that the letter of the Pre-
sident, in its ensemble, would form the basis of their
policy, and that without expressing themselves as well
satisfied as M. Thiers with the mote proprio. they ac-
cepted it provisionally, subject to a claim fur ulterior
concessions. M. Thiers replied, that although now
satisfied with the mote proprzo, he should be delighted to
see the Court of Rome go beyand it, and snake further
concessions. Nevertheless he could not deny that he
anticipated a strong resistance on that point on the part
of the Court of Rome. It aprears that Ministers de-
clared to the Committee that the mote proprio, and par-
ticularly the kind of amnesty which it contained, had
given great dissatisfaction to every class of the Roman
people, and that the army could not at present be with-
drawn from Rome without danger. The Committee
afterwards proceeded to nominate its reporter. M.
Thiers was elected by eleven votes; M de Broglie ob-
tained two. M de Montalembert absented himself at
the moment of voting. One blank bulletin was given,
which was attributed to M. Victor Hugo."
M. DE Fet,Lot,ix has had a relapse of so serious a
nature that it is considered it will be impossible for
him to take part in the approaching discussion on the
affairs of Rome.

The late Minister of the United States in Paris
had an interview with the PRESIDENT of the Republic
on Tuesday.
It is said the French Government are about to ap-
point an agent to remain at Fez, near the residence of
the Emperor of Mottocco, in order to defeat the
intrigues of the EMPEROR'S courtiers.
In the course of the sitting of the Assembly yester-
day M. DE LA. MosKowA moved that an additional
annual allowance should be granted to the Vice-
President of the Republic to enable him to defray
the expenses of his Hotel. The motion was, after
considerable discussion, agreed to by a majority of
213 to 89.
The Democrat du Var publishes intelligence,
which it says it has received by the Tartare, just
arrived from Civita Vecchia. This intelligence is
nothing less than the report of the outbreak of a
popular insurrection at Naples, and of the violent
death of King BostnA. We need not add that such
intelligence as this stands greatly in need of confir-
mation.

The High Court of Versailles was occupied the
whole of yesterday in putting the usual preliminary
questions to the accused. _

The Assemblee -Nationale says :—" With real
satisfaction we learn that the Council of Ministers has
decidedly adopted the motu proprio of the Holy Father
as the basis of its policy. This resolution has been
unanimously taken, without even excepting AL
DUFAURE."

The Ordre says :
" The account which we quoted from the Perk of the
delivery of his passports to the Turkish Ambassador by
the Austrian Government, is far from being confirmed.
A letter from Vienna of the 3d, which has been commu-
nicated to us, announces on the contrary, in a very posi-
tive manner, that the Imperial Cabinet has renounced the
intention which it had in the first place entertained of
ceasing all communication with the Turkish Envoy, who
on his side has protested the desire of his Government to
continue its friendly relations with Austria."

ALLEGED REVOLUTION IN NAPLES.
The Patric of last evening repeats the ru-
mours of an insurrection in Naples, which had
ended in the proclamation of a Republic, adds,
"this intelligence does not appear altogether devoid of
foundation."

PARIS BOURSE.—WEDNUDAY, OCT. 10.
The market opened firm at about the closing quota-

his Majesty hopes to be an eye witness of, so soon as
circumstances shall permit him to repair to his faithful
subjects of Luxemburg.
-"In the name of the King Grand Duke, I declare
the ordinary session of the Chamber of Deputies to be
opened."
his Royal highness then retired with the same
ceremonies which had attended his entrance, after
which the Chamber proceeded with the formation of
its bureau. M. METz was appointed President, and
Baron TRUNAW Vice-President ; Messrs. LEFORT and
GROS were appointed SPerrtaritti.

One of the Netherland journals, the Toekomst
(Future), announces that the KING, in imitation of
Louis Pniurrs, is letting his sons go through the
regular course of studies at the College of the Hague,
in order that, during the course of their education,
they may become acquainted with the views and
wants of the people whom they may hereafter be
called upon to govern. The High Court of the
Netherlands has decided the cause in favour of the
family of the BOURBON son of the soi disant Duke of
NORMANDY, against the State.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 10.—The Chamber of Depu-
ties of Luxemburg has voted an address in reply to
the Speech from the Throne. It is almost a repetition
of the Speech, and concludes in the following words :--
"His MAJESTY and the Government may depend
upon the frank and loyal assurance of the Chamber;
that they take, for the b‘sis of their policy, the
principles of order, law, and impartiality, of con-
servatism, of progress, and of honour. His MAJESTY
has not hesitated to recognize that Luxemburg has
hitherto followed these principles, and by persevering
in them, we may with confidence expect that pros-
perity which the country will be proud for its
SOVEREIGN to witness, whenever circumstances may
permit him to visit his faithful Luxemburg subjects."
His Royal Highness Prince HENRY gave a grand
dinner to the Members of the Chamber, at which
several loyal speeches were made, in acknowledgment
of the toasts. Altogether his Royal Highness has
been received with much enthusiasm.

The Cabinet Council at the Hague continues to have
one sitting after another, and negotiations are carried
on with many individuals, but as yet his MAJESTY
has not succeeded in the formation of a Ministry.

GREECE.
HOSPITABLE RECEPTION OF THE
ITALIAN REFUGEES.
The Concordia of the 6th publishes a letter from
Athens of the 22d ult., stating that more than 500
Italian refugees have arrived there, and that it is the
intention of the Greek Government to allot them por-
tions of uncultivated land in the Morea. The following
is the outline of the plan which was expected to be
presented to the Chambers on the 24th, in the name
of the Italian refugees :-Ist. A colony to be formed
in some part of Greece, to be fixed hereafter;
2d. The Italian colonists shall acquire the rights
of Hellenic nationality ; 3d. Each man shall
receivy a minimum of land of the extent of 100
strcmata, which may be increased according to the
m( ans of each colonist ; 4th. The colonist becomes sole
proprietor of the land on condition of fulfilling the
clauses of his contract, and paying the value of the land
by instalments. He may let and convey his rights
and obligations; sth, The colonists shall be tax-free
for five years, and after that period pay a tax which
shall increase progressively, till, at the end of twenty
years, it has reached the common standard ; 6th, The
necessary funds to be obtained by subscriptions opened
in Italy and in other countries, and by the institution
of an anonymous society, with a capital to be deter
mined, divided into small shares to be imbursed
at certain periods by drawings ; 7th, The Government
and Hellenic Bok shall take a certain number of
shares sufficient for the first expenses ; Bth, Agricul-
tural instruments, machines, seeds, &c., for the society
shall enter free of duty during three years. If thr
above plan be approved, a commission is to be named
to carry it into execution.

MONEY and COM "4 "
CITY, QUAR7'EIe TO THREE.
There was a very active market for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday. The sales wero estimated at from 30,000
to 35,000 bales, including 20,000 American, at 41d. to
7d.; 2,000 Pernam and Maranham, at 58d. to 6d.; 2 000
Egyptian, at 6d. to 7d.; 6,000 Surat, at 44d. to 4,W.;
and 500 &a Island at 100. to ls. 4d. per lb. Of the
above there were 11,500 bales taken on speculation, viz.,
6.000 bales American, 1,500 Egyptian, and 4,000 Surat.
The market was excited during the :'ay, and an advance
of id. per lb. took place on the pric: a of Monday, making
prices id. per lb. higher than oa Friday last.—Railway
Shared were dull at lower quotations.
Tue six weeks' average price of Wheat is 435. Id. per
quarter, and the quantity sold in the provincial markets,
which regulate the duties, is 128,149 quarters.
Our Continental advices received to-day are of a
meagre character. At, Amsterdam the negotiations for
the formation of a new Ministry were still going on.
The Bourse was rather feeble. Dutch Twceand-a-flulf
per Cents. 531 to 15-16ths. Other securities were
neglected. At Frankfort, on the Bth inst., the Austrian
Five per Cents, were 904.
The task of giving an opinion concerning the value of
property, funded or other, is at all times invidious, and
the office is the more difficult, because there are two par-
ties to be considered, the public and the holders. As a
general rule, we adhere stringently to the course of
warning the former, wherever we think they incur a
risk, and this will at once explain the course that we
have felt it our duty to adopt in reference to Buenos
Ayres bonds. A correspondent, who is either a
speculator or a holder, and in either case must
possess the very motives, viz., those of interest,
which he falsely imputes to us, is not right either in his
assumption that our remarks were the result of ignorance.
Because we do not lend ourselves to puff up a Stock
upon which no interest has been paid from almost the
period of contracting the loan, we incur, forsooth, the
displeasure of this said correspondent, who affirms that
he " happens to know there is every prospect, if France
does not, by her intrigues, hinder the set-
tlement of the unhappy difference between England
and Buenos Ayres, of an early recommencement
of the payment of the dividends and a very great en-
hancement of its value." And because our correspondent
happens to know" this, the public are to rush in and
buy the Stock at 45, when other securities that have
paid for years are to be bought cheaper. But there is
to be " a very great enhancement of its value." Likely
enough, and if people choose to run the risk they may
make money, " always providing," however, that they do
not remain as the stepping-stone for others to profit by,
and realise in the scramble with the rest. The Dictator
of Buenos Ayres presides over a confederation of States
which we willingly admit have the means to pay, but
he is himself merely a capricious tyrant, who heartily
despises England and France, and none the less, we
may be sure, because he has succeeded in bearding both.
If any confirmation were needed of the value of our
opinion as to the intrinsic worth of Buenos Ayres bonds,
we would merely refer to merchants who have long re-
sided in the Argentine Republic; but as we have no
wish to dishearten holders, but rather would encourage
them to hold on, in the hope that something may
turn up, we would simply add that it is not
a security in which the surplus funds of the
widow or orphan could be safely placed, and that our
correspondent has no title to question the reasons that
induce us to give this caution, any more than we have
to blame him for maintaining " that there will be a very
great enhancement." A letter appeared -some days
since in a contemporary, the Morning Chronicle, we be-
lieve, asking how it was, that although fluctuating quo-
tations were given daily for Buenos Ayres Bonds, he
could never find, upon inquiry of his broker, that any-
thing was doing in them, or at least to nearly the extent
implied. Perhaps our compleining correspondent will
seek the explanation from some of the jobbers, who,
having made a good harvest by running up the prices,
exp- (tied recently to be as successful by putting them
down.

The proprietors of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company have just held their gener4l meeting, and al-
though their report shows a slight falling off in receipts
compared with the first half of last year, this is not sur-
prising, looking at the depressed state of the West India
colonies, and the Havannah quarantine. The dividend
declared is 2/. per share.
The English Funds have been heavy again, although
the Revenue accounts are favourable, and it is shown
that upon the year there is a surplus income of
more than halt a million. Whether, betore the period
when the financial year is considered to terminate, say
about April, there may be an alteration in this respect,
remains to be seen. Consols have been 92e , and are
now about 921 to 922. There have been special trans-
fers ex dividend in the New Three and-a-Quarter per
Cents. at 92f to 922, and in the Reduced Three per
Cents. at 90 to 914. Bank Steck is worth 196. Ex-
chequer-bills have been 41s. to 445., and Indian Bonds
795. to 82s. premium.

The Foreign Securities have been very dull. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 341, and Portuguese Four per
Cents. 30; Mexican Bonds have been 264, and Bra-
zilian 83 to 84 ex dividend. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been steady at 54.
We regret to state that the Railway Share market is
again worse this morning, and upon the report of a con-
tinued diminution of receipts compared with the corre-
sponding week of last year. No doubt the cholera, and
the partial diversion of traffic by branches, has had
much to do with this. Great Western are Ito 1 lower
than yesterday. Midland, I and North Western 21.,
these being the lines most effected, though others are
also flatter.
