THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1849

by this unexpected blow. Without means of liveli-
hood, with a price set upon his head, and the entire
community converted into an eager police to effect his
capture, there could be no hope of unanimity ; all he
could do was to continue his sottish course, to drain the
brandy bottle to the dregs. He fled whither he could
obtain the means of temporary oblivion at the
cheapest rate, and by his flight converted the sus-
picions that had been previously entertained into
absolute certainties.
We need not dwell on the subsequent discovery of
the body, or the tracing out and apprehension of the
murderers ; they are familiar to almost every indi-
vidual throughout the length and breadth of the land.
GOD'S retributive justice will not be defeated. His
all-seeing eye will penetrate the dark den of the
secret murderer, and bring into the brightest and
most glaring light acts that bad apparently been
committed in the deepest gloom and obscurity.

Bessarabia. The Russian and Turkish troops win-
tering at Bucharest amount to 20,000. Sir STRAT•
roaD CANNING has protested because the Russians
have not reduced the number of their troops in the
principalities.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 7,000
bales, of which 2,000 American were taken on specula-
tion.— In Railway Shares a moderate business was done
at higher prices.
The weekly balance-sheet of the Bank of England to
Saturday last contains further interesting changes. The
circulation was increased again, both as regards notes
and bullion, by the continuance of dividend and official
payments; and from the same cause the public deposits
were lessened. In the Other &entities there was a great
reduction, which would ostensibly show a diminution of
activity in the mercantile world, or a plethora of money,
but we believe neither conclusion would be accurate, and
that the cause of the alteration is simply the repayment
of loans made while the transfer books were closed. A
comparison with the previous week gives the following
results

The Foreign Exchanges were negotiated yesterday
afternoon, for 90 days' bills, at 25.75 to 80 on Antwerp;
being firm at 13.13 - to 14 on I.lamburgb, being a shade
higher; at 122- on Frankfort, also dearer; at 25.67 i to
72i on Paris, which are barely previous rates, at 10.55 to
58, also a slight decline, and at 12.24 to 31, being the
same as last post day.
The exports of the precious metals from London this
week have been 127,000 ounces of silver, and 160 ounces
and 2,8001. in gold.
The accounts received this morning from the manu-
facturing districts are satisfactory, but there has been
scarcely so much activity as there was last week.
The Funds are buoyant again to-day. Consols

Railway Shares look well again, and a good business
is doing. Caledonian, Great Western, Midland, South
Western, and Brighton, are higher.
The general railway traffic of England exhibits for the
past week an improvement compared with the corre-
sponding date of 1848, but there is the increased mileage
to be brought into account. This mileage is not yet
sufficiently worked to be reasonably expected to yield a
return at all adequate to the trunk roads. Of 48 lines,
including all the great undertakings, we find that 26
had, as per last weekly return, an augmented traffic, the
Irish being deficient with one exception, viz., the Belfast
and Ballymena. There are several lines which cannot
be compared, because of having been opened only since
last year. The French railways have all to a great ex-
tent regained their lost traffic.
