" Art. 11. There shall be added to the r ersoaal tax
se. per franc, th,, produce of which shall serve to cover
the reductions and modifications.
" Art. 12. For 1850 the tax established in execution

carcases of men and animals. No water is to be
had, and the soldiers must drink the hot and cor-
rupted water which General HAYNAU carries along
with his army. They mix it with v:negar to mzdre it
drinkable. On their weary march they found, as
yet, not a trace of the Hungarian army, and it is
very doubtful whether that army will oppose them at
Szegedin. But if the Hungarians were to attack and
defeat General HAYNAU at Szegedin, the probability
is that but few of the Imperialists would live to tell
the fate of the battle, for the Landsturn would rise
up in their rear and prevent their escape."
It is doubtful whether AULICH or KLAPKA com-
manded at the taking of Raab, but it is certain that
AULICH advancing from the Platteen See, and
KLAPKA from Comorn, effected a junction at Raub.
This is not the only victory which the garrison of
Comorn has gained. On the 30th they made a
sally, attacked General POIT'S brigade at
Iletney, and drove him back to Neutra,
and then attacking LIEBBER'S brigade, compelled
him to retire to his retrenchments. Large bodies of
Hungarians are in the neighbourhood of Gran, and
hold constant communication with the Comorn garri-
son. The Comorn garrison consists of 15,000 men,
the greater number of whom are under canvass.
They are perfectly healthy, nod are abundantly sup-
, plic d with provisions of all sorts.

The intelligence of BEM's victory over LuDERs, in
Transylvania, is also confirmed. The number of
wounded Russians was so great that FUAD EFFENDI,
the Turkish Commissioner at Bucharest, on the ap-
plicatio❑ of the Russian authorities, dispatched a
number of Turkish surgeons to aid in the treatment
of the wounded.

MONEY- and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. QUARTER 2'o THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liv, rp.!ol yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales. '1 he nos rket was steedy, but
firm.-11ailway Shales were firm, though but little busi-
ness was done.
This week 73,000 bales of Cotton have been sold at
Liverpool.
The weekly statement, to the 4th instant, of the
assets and liabilities of the' Bank of England confirms
to the full extent all that has been said recently of the
difficulty of employing money. The amount of notes
out with the public was again smaller, and there was a
reduction in the securities upon which advances are
made. The private deposits were drawn upon, it is
true, but this is natural after the accumulation of divi-
dend surpluses. When we hear of one party, the late
Mr. Denison, being worth over twol millions sterling, we
shall better comprehend how it is that there is such a
constant accumulation of idle wealth in certain quarters,
for it would be asurd to imagine that the cash portion
of this property could ever be employed. Thus further
we may understand how important have been the
railway undertakings in affording a new outlet
for such surpluses, otherwiie we should have
been inundated with foreign loans that alwas entail a
serious loss upon the country, and might have seen Con-
sols at 120 ere this. Compelled with the preceding weekly
return, the following results are shown:—

ounces in gold coin to Hamburgh, and 1001. to the
Auckland Isles. Silver bars to Naples, 40,879 ounces,
and to Holland and Belgium, 13,000 ounces.
The accounts received to-day from the manufacturing
districts are even more satisfactory than those which
have reached us during the last two or three weeks.
There is great activity in many departments, and at
Manchester and Leeds a very decided tendency to im-
provement.
The Stock Market is a little flatter this morning,
chiefly owing to the paucity of business, and partly to
the decline in the French I entes under the rumour of a
new loan, and the certainty almost of an income-tax.
