demanded by the Government was voted by a majo-
rity of 469 to 180. The second and third items were
subsequently voted by nearly the same majority, and
the Bill was passed without a division.
The state trials at Versailles still continue. The
Court was occupied on Saturday in hearing evidence
of the proceedings of M. LEDRU-ROLLIN and the re-
presentatives at the Conservatoire.
The steam-frigate Tenare sailed for Toulon with
dispatches for the French Minister at Constantinople,
on the 16th.

The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Constan-

tinople of the sth, which states that although no dis-
patches have been received from St. Petersburgh, yet
that it is known for certainty that the conduct of the
Austrian and Russian Ambassadors is approved of
by their Courts. The former has received instruc-
tions to withdraw, and only waits for the authoriza-
tion of M. DE TITOP/' to keep him company. It is
stated that, in case of war, Sir S. CANNING had pro-
mised English officers for the Turkish fleet, and
General Aurics. French officers for the land service.
M. DE TITJJT had sent away the Russian merchant
vessels. There was a rumour of news being brought
by a steamer of the sailing of the English fleet from
Malta for the Dardanelles.

The departure of the French fleet from llyeres
was to have taken place on the 12th.

The Patrie publishes the :following letter from
.orne, chted 12th inst.:—

" The Holy Father has just consulted the Sacred
College on the opportuneness of his return to Rome.
The discussion was very long; it commenced on the 6th,
and was resumed an-1 terminated on the following day.
The majority decided that the residence of the Pontiff at
Rome was desirable, and that it was necessary that he
should instal himself at the Vatican during the occupa-
tion of Rome by the French army. The return of the
Pope, unless fresh diplomatic complications should arise,
will take place in the course of the month of December.
It has been decided that the effective strength of the
army will be reduced after the Ist of January, and only
a garrison necessary to secure public tranquillity in the
city be left."
There has been but little done in the Passage de
l'Opera, but prices were rather better. Fives were
done at 88f. sc.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

There was a 3teady market for Cotton at Liverpool
on Slturday. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales,
including 8,000 American at 511. to 80. ; 500 Per-
nambuco, &c., at 61d. to 70. ; 200 Egyptian at 61d. to
8;0. ; and 300 Surat at 41. to 4:ld. per lb. Of the
above American 4,000 were taken on speculation.—ln
Railway Shares a large business was done at a slight
advance.

The Grain market is not so firm to-day for inferior
wheat, but much the same for other samples.
The steamer America brings the United States and
Canada mails, but we have no letters in town yet. From
the outline of the news received, it would appear that
money was in request at New York, although there, was
a fair supply of it. The markets were inactive for bread-
stuffs, but a good deal was doing in cotton at a slight
advance. Business generally is still favourably spoken
oe, and there was more than the usual briskness after the
dull period occasioned by the hot weather and the pre-
valence of cholera. The Exchange on London was firm,
at 110 to 110 f.
Respecting railways in the United States we are told:—

" 'There has been an increase in each of the past three
years, and it is altogether likely that the running ex-
penses per mile will this year, 1849, exceed that for
either of the previous years. According to the returns
of receipts, for the first six months of several years past,
the earnings of the last six months in 1846-47, and 48,
have been a little larger, and the same rate of receipts
for the last six months of 1849, will give an income of
374,998 dollars, which added to the receipts already
reported for the first six months, give an aggregate for
the year of 696,426 dollars. Now we are prepared to
show, upon tho data of previous returns, that
nearly or quite the whole of the income will
be used up iu the payment of running expenses and
repairs, leaving the interest on the debt and stock of
the company to be paid out of or by au increase of the
capital. It appears that the expenses in the first three
years ranged from 63 to 68 per cent., on a short road,
where the earnings per mile were to a fair amount, but
that proportion will not hold good on a long road, where
the earnings per mile are so much reduced. To make a
calculation upon such a basis, the receipts per mile
should be the same. We, therefore, base our estimates
upon the expenses per mile in 1848. The Erie Rail-
road is now two hundred and forty miles long,
and the same facilities for travel and transportation of
freight have to be kept up as though the traffic was dou.
ble what it will be. In 1848 the running expenses and
repairs per mile amounted to 2,642 dollars, and at the
same rate this year, the aggregate expenditures under
these heads would amount to 633,080 dollars.

" These expenditures will use up the whole of the in-
crease of capital. The railroad companies of New Eng-
land are rapidly increasing their capitals and adding
largely to the cost of construction. Unfortunately
their receipts, or earnings, do not increase in a corre-
sponding ratio, and the prospect of better dividends is by
no means promising. The cost of some of the railroads
in New England has been doubled within the past five
years, and the greatest extravagance has been exhibited
in some of the expenditures. The building of magni-
ficent depots has added largely to the capitals of several
companies ; and if the increase of roads creates a
greater competition and reduces the income of all, we
think railroad property in New England has seen its
best days."
The Continental advices are not generally of interest
to-day, but there is satisfaction expressed among the
jobbers for a rise at the issue of the question raised in
the French Legislature upon the Roman affair.
There is a dull but firm market for Public Securities,
Consols being 921 to I. Tho French advices are in
favour of prices, but the report that the Russian fleet
has orders to be ready to sail at the shortest notice from
Sebastopol, deters speculators. The market is still
looked upon favourably, all things considered. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 921 to f,
and the Three per Cents. 9(1 to 91. Bank Stock has
been rather weaker, viz., 1971 to 1984. Exchequer-

In the Foreign Market business is entered into at
rather reduced quotations. Mexican Bonds have been
261 to 27. Peruvian have been marked 534 to Brazil
Binds have realised 821 to 83; and Portuguese Four
per Cents. have receded to 33 to 33i. Russian Stock
has been flatter likewise, viz., 1661 to 107. Dutch Four
per Cents. have been quoted 82.
Railway Shares have been firm, but the transactions
are not of any moment.
The North British Railway secretary has given no-
tice that the interest payable on the preference shares,
to parties who have paid all calls regularly, is a mere
fraction under ls. sd. per share, from which the income
tax will have to be deducted. The dividend warrants
are expected to be ready in about a fortnight.
