WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26,

The Stadtholderate, from motives of economy, has
permitted nearly a third of the army to go on fur-
lough, but the men are required to hold themselves
in readiness to join their corps at a moment's
notice. The magistrates and citizens of Flensburg
have addressed a memorial to the Commission,
not yet published, in which they firmly declare
that they will not submit to Danish authority, or
ratify any acts that may hereafter be regarded as in-
dicating submission. At Tanning, as well as Ilusum
and other districts, the magistrates firmly refuse to
publish the decrees of the Commission and the KING'S
proclamation ; and, moreover, what is more serious,
it appears that the public receivers refuse to forward
contributions, taxes, and dues to the Central Treasury
at Flensburg, declaring these sums to be due and
only payable to the Schleswig. Holstein Treasury at
Rensburg. This is done under pretext of obeying
certain old laws of the land (a marked contradiction),
dating from 1719, 1723, and 1783. The Commission
has replied in energetic language to these persons, and
threatens the employment of force ; and further, has
declared that those persons who- think proper to dis-
obey the Commission and obey the Stadtholderate
must expect to be dismissed. But then comes another
difficulty : no persons can be found to fill the vacant
offices, so the recalcitrants must remain. It is really
high time that the Prussian Government, as well as
the guaranteeing or mediating power, should proceed
to the ultimate arrangement of this question, or that
they should leave the two parties to arrange the
question between themselves, under the strict neutra-
lity of Prussia. A report is current that Denmark
is not indisposed to join the triple alliance, including
Schleswig as well as Holstein in the bond.' This
would obviate one difficulty, but will not satisfy the
Schleswickers unless they obtain complete political
independence.

SWITZERLAND.
The Revue de Geneve denies that any application
has been made by the French Government to have
the French refugees at Geneva sent into the interior
of the country. The greater part of them are already,
that journal states, dispersed through the states of the
confederation.
The Austrian Governmentbas, it is said, demanded
the expulsion of MAZZINI from Switzerland.

DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.
A correspondent Wrote from Agram on the 17th to
Lloyd's that the insurgents of Bosnia have beaten the
Vizier, and that the latter has returned with his troops
behind the Drina.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Ista rpool.yestaisiay a ere 4,000
bales, including 2,000 American on speculati, n and for
export. Among the sales were 3,000 Amer can ; 100
Pernarn and Maranham at Sid to 61, 100 Egyptian at
7d to Bid, 200 Surat at 4d to 41d, and 50 Sea Island at
110 to is Id per lb.—Railway Shares were dull, and at
lower quotations.
In Mark lane: to-day there is no alteration in the
prices of grain.
The Overland Mail from India has at length arrived,
being some days overdue. The political intelligence
she brings is of a satisfactory tenor, and the com-
mercial details, given in another column of The Sun,
will be found encouraging likewise. A large business
was doing in exports, and many articles of import had a
fair sale. The weather, which had beentso dry in some
parts as to occasion serious apprehensions of famine, was
more favourable. *
The letters by the Caledonia steamer, from the United
States, have been delivered in due course. The Stock
market had been much more buoyant, and there we.,
more activity in the Money market. The banks
discounted freely, but more business papor was
offering, and holders submitted to higher rates. Cspi-
tal, nevertheless, was expected to continue abundant at
low rates for some time to come, but should the imports
from Europe continue large, there might be some ship-
ment of specie. During the week ending the Bth in-
stant, there had been 76,000 dollars forwarded from New
York, and during the previous two or three weeks silver
only was imported.
The New Orleans' report upon the Cotton trade for
the year ending the Ist of September is interesting to a
most extended circle in Europe, but we have only room
for extracts. It is stated that—
" Atni•ng the peculiarities that have marked the
course of business during the past season, we may men-
tion the fact that the purchases, particularly those for
Great Britain, have been speculative to a greater
extent than usual, as most of the orders with fixed
limits, though gradually advanced from time to time,
were generally, below the range of our own market, and
thus the purchases for England were mostly made by
speculative shippers, or by those who, from the tenor
of their orders, were at liberty to exercise some dis-
cretion in respect to prices. The quality of the Loui-
siana and Mississippi crops was much belowl the usual
average, principally from the admixture of leafy par-
ticles, and thus the proportion of the receipts from
those sections ranging above the good middling has
been unusually small, and as fur really fine cottons they
could only be met with in occasional very limited
quantities. The bulk of the demand, however, has
fallen upon the middling descriptions, and in the early
part of the season, whey► the best cottons are received,
and when they are usually more irquired for on the
part of buyers for the continent of Europe and our
northern ports, the better grades were comparatively
neglected, and the difference in prico between middling
and fair was reduced to 4to cent per lb. As the
season advanced, however, the demand for the better
qualities improved, and their comparative scarcity car- ,
ried the difference between middling and fair to 1e to
1 cent per lb., while on the still finer grades the varia-
tion was much greater. The receipts from Tennessee
and Alabama were of unusually good quality, and
embraced many crops that would compare favourably
with the Iroduct of Louisiana and Mississippi.
The total receipts at this port since Ist September
last, from all sources, are 1,142,382 bales. This amount
includes 51 585 bales received from Mobile and Florida,
and from Texas by sea. (That portion of the Texas
crop which reaches us vid Red River cannot be distin-
guished from the product of Louisiana.) Deducting
from our total receipts the above amount received from
Mobile, Florida, and Texas, the remainder shows our
receipts proper to be 1,090,797 bales, or a decrease of
97,936 bales as compared with last year. The total
exports during the same period are, 1,167,303 bales, of
which 645,018 bales were shipped to Great Britain,
154,647 to France, 161,827 to the North and South of
Europe, Mexico, &c.; and 205,811 to United States ports,
including 2,300 bales Western States. Comparing the
exports with those of last year, we find an increase of
13,E'9 bales to France, and of 7.526 to the North and
South of Europe, &c., while to Great Britain there is a
decrease of 9,005 bales, and of 44,662 bales to the United
States ports. The total receipts at all the Atlantic and
Gult ports, up to the latest dates received—as shown by
our general cotton table—are 2,708,514 bales, against
2,325,108 bales to the same dates last year; showing
an increase of 383,406 bales. This amount, however, it
should be understood does not represent the actual crop
of the Unit( d States, as this cannot be made until the
full returns of receipts, exports, stock, &c., are concen-
trated at one point. For a se►ies of years the statement
of the cotton crop has been made up by the New York
Shipping and Commercial List; and should they retain
the usual basis of their calculations, the actual crop will
fall short of the receipts at the ports, as the stock at
Augusta and llamburgh will be less than it was at the
close of last year, and the difference between the two
stocks wilt be deducted from the receipts, as belonging
to the crop of last year. At all events the crop of 1848-
9 cannot vary greatly from 2;700,000 bales."
By way of New York there are advices of July 20
from Buenos Ayres, but the contents are unimportant.
Bolivia was still very distracted.
From Canada we learn that the rate of exchange on
London for 60 days was at 10 to 10i per cent. premium.
The rates of freight to London were 3s. 9d. per barrel.
At Quebec ashes were in demand and steady. Business
was dull.
The consumption of brandy has enormously increased
during the present season, the extra quantity cleared in
London from July 1 to September 20 being 165.986
gallons, and yielding to Government 124,4891 more than
during the corresponding period of last y ear.
The English Funds have been firmer, though ex-
tremely dull, owing to the strict Jews' holiday observed
(this beina the day of the Atonern-nt). Consols are
92i for Trans•er,. and 92i for Account. Exchequer-
bills are 355. to 38s. premium. India Stock is 254
to 255.

THE BRITANNIA TUBULAR BR —Active pre-
parations are being made at the Menai Straits connected
with the renewed att rept at raising the tube to its per-
manent level, a process look( d forward to with consider-
able anxiety in consequence of the late misadventure.
The new cylinder intended to replace the one that
sprung, was safely deposited at the works on Saturday
last, since when operations for hoisting it to its berth
have been carried on incesciantly,—,North Miles
