,IVENING, SEPTEMBER 26 1849

The Stadtho'derate, 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 Husum
and other districts, the magistrates firmly refuse to
publish the decrees of the Commission and the K,
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 Stadtholderste
must expect to be dismissed. But then comes another
difficulty : no persoils 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 twe 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
Holstein in the bond. This
would obviate asvia wteonelel difficulty, but will not satisfy the
Schleswickers unless they obtain complete political
independence.

NG'S

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
con federation.
The Austrian Government has, it is said, demanded
the expulsion of AlAzziNt 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 troop
behind the Drina.

ei4../.NEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday a ere 4,000
el
s,
including 2,000 American on speculatien and for
export. Among the sales were 3,000 American ; 100
Pernarn and Maraufism at sid to 100 Egyptian at
7d to 811, 200 Surat at 4d to 41d, and 50 Sea Island at
11 id 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 lasen:so 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 was
more activity in the Money market. The banks
discounted freely, but more business paper was
offering, and holders submitted to higher rates. Capi-
tal, nevertheless, was expected to continue abundant at
low rates fur some time to come, but should the imports
from Europe continue large, there relight be some ship-
ment of specie. During the week ending the B,h in-
stant, there bad 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—
" Among 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 cur 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 below) 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 for really fine cottons they
could only be met setieft in occasional very limited
quantities. The bulk of the demand, however, has
fallen upon the middling dezeriptions, and in the early
part of the sr axon, when the best cottons are received,
and when they are usually more inquired for en the
part of buyers for the continent of Europe and our
northern ports, the better grades were comparatively
neglected, and the difference in price between middling
and fair was reduced to to to cent per lb. As the
season advanced, however, the demand for the better
qualities improved, and theme comparative scarcity car-
ried the difference between middling and fair to I,f to
1i 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 product 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 viii 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 eireat Britain,
154,647 to France, 161,827 to the North and South of
Europe, Mexico, &e.; 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
13,679 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
Gulf ports, up to the latest dates received—as shown by
our general cotton table—are 2,708,514 boles, against
2,325,108 bales to the same dares last year; showing
an increase of 383,406 bales. This amount, however, it
should be understood does not represent the actual me p
of the United States, as this cannot be made until the
full returns of receipts, exports, stock, &c., are concen-
trated at one point. For a Belies of years the statement
of the cotton crop has been made up by the New York
Shipping and Commercial List; anti should they retain
the usual basis of their calculations, the actual crop will
fall short of the receipts at the ports, as the stork at
Augusta and Hamburgh will be less than it was at the
close of last year, and the difference between the two
stocks will 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 2100,000 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 steet;iy. Business

The consumption of brandy has enormously increased
during the present season, the extra quantity cleared in
