RUSSIA.

The EMPEIiOR published a manifesto on the 31st
August, authorising a new levy of recruits, to supply
the losses sustained by the Russian army in Hungary.

ITALY.

The Parti Pretre in Rome have established a new
journal, the Osservatore Romano, in opposition to the
French official Giornale di Roma. The first number
contains a violent attack upon the PRESIDENT of the
French Republic. The same journal announces the
intention of the POPE to repair to Bologna.
The following is said to have been presented to the
Pontifical Court as the ultimatum of France :—" The
ultimatum of France is said to be now confined to
three points—viz , a Council of State, with a delibe-
rative voice for internal affairs ; a partial amnesty ;
the withdrawal of all the paper money ; payment of
the debts contracted by, and recognition of all the
acts of the Provisional Government. The POPE and
Cardinal ANTONELLI, however, hold back.
According to the Opinione of Turin the anarchy in
Rome is almost inconceivab'e, the struggle with
the French becomes every day more lively, and the
divisions in the Governmental Commission itself are
also increasing.
The neighbourhood of Bologna still continues to
be infested by assassins.
The Minister of Finance of Sardinia presented to
the Chamber of Deputies on the 12th a financial pro-
ject of law, instead of that which had been presented
touching the 75 millions to be paid as indemnity for
the expenses of the war to Austria, and he requested
the Chamber to take the subject immediately into
consideration, this project being of an urgent nature.
The cholera is raging fearfully in Venice.
On the Ist September the ceremony of the Golden
Rose was celebrated at Naples, in the Royal Chapel.
The POPE directed the rose to be presented to the
QUEEN, whose daughter he had but lately held over
the baptismal font. Monsignor STELLI, whose duty
it was to perform the august ceremony, after the cele-
bration of mass, expressed himself as follows to her
MAJESTY :
" Accept from our bands this rose, which we present
to you in the name of the most Holy Father, our Lord
Pius IX , Pope by the grace of God. It represents the
jubilee of the two Jerusalems—namely, of the Church
militant and triumphant which expresses by its beauty
the joy of all the saints. May your Majesty accept it;
it is like our century, noble, powerful, and adorned
with many virtues. May Christ, our Lord, ennoble it
still more, and adorn it with fresh virtues. May it
resemble the rose which blooms on the banks of abundant
rivers, and may you obtain the grace and clemency of
Him who is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost I
—Amen."

The Concord/6g of Turin quotes a letter from
Genoa, of the 12th, stating that it being known that
GARIBALDI was to leave for Nice on the 11th, on
board the San Giorgio steamer, crowds assembled at
the port, and many persons occupied boats for the
purpose of seeing and cheering him. The boats had
been in waiting for upwards of an hour around the
steamer, when she suddenly had her steam up, and
moved towards the mouth of the port. On being
questioned, the sailors declared that GARIBALDI was
not on board. Before leaving the port, however,
she stopped ; a boat left the St. Michael
frigate, and approached the steamer. The
people in the boats, perceiving this, cried—" There's
Garibaldi; make haste, ply your oars I" " Viva
Garibaldi But before they could reach the steamer
she had resumed her course, and they only arrived
in time to learn that GeaniAzan was really on board
of her.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THISOLD COURTI DAY).
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE.)
BORoIArtY.—A respectably attired youngnian named
John Williams, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously
breaking and entering the dwelling house of Mr. George
Hamilton Roe, a gentleman of fortune, and stealing
therefrom one gold chain, tour studs, &c., valued at 505.,
the property of Charles White, his butler. The Court
sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment, with hard
labour.

Pic&roczETB.o.David Rogers and John Brown, two
lads of very sinister aspects, were indicted, and pleaded
guilty to a charge of stealing a handkerchief, value 23.,
the property of Patrick Edward Donelly, from his per •
son. A previous conviction was exhibited against Rogers,
and he was sentenced to ten years' transportation; while
Brown, who appeared to be his pupil, was sentenced to
six months' imprisonment.

- NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
The whole of the morning was occupied in trying
Mint cases, not one of which presented any feature of
interest.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
A middle-aged well-dressed man, with a tremendous
fierce-looking pair of moustaches, who was described on
the charge-sheet as John Melton, gentleman, 184, Re-
gent-street, but who is in reality no less a personage
than Charles Count de Wint, was charged before Mr.
Ifirdwick with having been drunk and disorderly in
Piccadilly.
It appeared that, at two o'clock this morning, the
Count, who was rather " far gone" in grog, called in at
the Vine-street police-station, and so far interrupted
the business there that the inspector on duty very
properly directed him to be put out. The Count subse-
quently proceeded into Piccadilly, where he created such
a disturbance that soon caused him to be taken into cus-
tody and lodged in one of the cells of the station.
The Count, in answer to the charge, said he had been
dining at Brighton, and had unfortunately taken " ra-
ther too much wine."
Mr. HARDWIeit, in consideration of the Count's hav-
ing been in durance vile for eight hours, directed him to
be discharged.
The Count immediately left the court and was seen
to enter the tavern opposite the court, where he called
for, a glass of grog by way of a comforter.
The MAQISTRATE requested our reporter to acknow-
ledge the receipt of 20s. from P. S. J., for the use of
the poor-box,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was to
3 moderate extent. The sales were estimated at about
5,000 bales, including 4,500 American at 4i 1. to 7d.,
150 Egyptian at 61d. to 7d., and 200 Surat at 4J. to 4id
per lb.—Ruilway Shares were rather firmer.
The chief and most important political news received
by the American steamer relates to the contemplated
attempt upon the part of certain Americans to attack
the Spanish island of Cuba, with the avowed object of
declaring it an American state. The American Govern-.
mcnt was taking the necessary measures to suppress the
movement.

From Canada the news is not of special interest.
With regard to commercial interests the accounts are
favourable. The fail trade, which has just commenced,
is represented as active for the time of year, and the
prospects of the ❑ext few months were considered satis-
factery. The cotton market, owing to the news
from England, had become very active, and firm at
a rise of id. :per lb. The fl•pur market, however,
was dull, and the business doing in provisions was rather
limited than otherwise. The money market was abun-
dantly supplied for all necessary purposes at easy rates,
and which it was expected would be the case for the re-
mainder of the year. Freights to Liverpool were dull
at lid. for cotton. Exchange on London, by no means
active at 1091 to 1101.
There was an excellent demand for imported goods
from both England and France for the interior, and
notwithstanding that the arrivals had been rather large,
prices ruled high and firm.

- In continuation of the arguments based upon official
data, and already advanced under this head in favour of
a line of railway, as a national undertaking,
from Halifax to Quebec, it may be remarked
that the best information obtained proves that
the land for the greater portion of the road will not
have to be purchased. Timber and stone will be had
nearly along the whole line for the labour of cutting and
quarrying. Judging then from the analogy afforded by
simi'ar, or nearly similar, lines in the neighbouring
sates, giving due weight to the considerations which
have a tendency to modify the cost in the particular
case of the Halifax and Quebec line, and forming
the best estimate to be derived from the data
obtained upon the exploratory survey, which, under the
circumstances of a perfectly new country, only partly
explored, and still covered with a dense forest, is all
that can in the first instance be done, it is considered
that if the sum of 7001. sterling per mile be assumed es
the probable cost of the proposed line, it will not be
far trom the correct amount. The total distance from
Halifax to Quebec will be about 635 miles.
Is is estimated, therefore, that the cost for con-
struction and equipment of the proposed trunk line,
from Halifax, through New Brunswick, to Quebec, will
amount to 5,000,0001. sterling.
The question which presents itself next for conside-
ration, and has been considered by the officers ap-
pointed, is a very important one, namely, the probable
returns for such an expenditure.

The information Co be afforded on this bead can
only be derivkd in al very general way, from a consi-
deration of the present population and resources of the
thr( c provinces.
_ _

The direct communication between the two termini,
Halirax and Quebec, is of u very limited nature. By
land it is confined almost to the conveyance of the mails.
Passengers proceed generally by way of the United
States.

By sea, in 1847, tho communication was by seven-
teen vessels, which al-lived at Quebec, having a tonnage
of 1,257, and eighteen departed fr,,rn that port for
Ilabfax whose tonnage amounted to 1,386 tons.

This amount of intercourse do: s not at the first
view appear encouraging to expected receipts, but when
tt is made to appear that this limited intercourse arises
entirely from the want of good means of intercommuni-
cation, such as would be afforded by the proposed rail-
way, it b, comes a strong argument in favour of making
the line rather than against it.
Havre accounts to yesterday afternoon report no
change in the Cotton Market. It remained inactive,
waiting for the news from America. The sales yesterday
amounted to only 144 bales for local consumption.
Prices steady.
The accounts from the various continental Bourses
represent a general rise in the value of the respective
national stocks. At Paris, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Ber-
lin, Frankfort, and Madrid prices have risen.
Business in the Home Funds continues limited, but
which in some degree necessarily results from the fact of
most of the transfer-books forgeneral stocks being closed
preparatory to the payment of the October dividends.
The market is also unaltered, prices being the same to-day
as yesterday. Consols have been done at 92* and 1 for
Money, and at 92* and h for Account, and which are the
present prices. Exchequer.bills have been operated in
at 355. and at 375. prem.; India Stock at 254.; and ditto
Bonds at 745. prem.
The Foreign Stock Market is generally better, and
there is more business doing. There have been deal-
ings in Buenos Ayres at 48g.; Peruvian at 66 to i.;
Grenada at 16i ; Ditto Deferred, at 3i; Spanish Five
per Cents. with Dividends for May, 1840, at 14; Dutch
Two-and-a. Half per Cents. at 54 to 1 ; Ditto Four per
Cents. at 85 to 1 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. Con-
verted at 21; Ditto Four per Cents. at 28i. Mexican
Bonds, however, are not so good as yesterday ; they
have declined to 271 to*.
The Railway Market has, on the whole, a decidedly
better appearance. Prices are generally firmer, and in
several instances higher, whilst purchases begin to in-
crease, and sales, on the contrary, to decrease. North-
Western and Midland are each 11. higher. There is a
good deal doing in the latter stock, at 52i to 53i ex.
