AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
The Wiener Zeitung, of the 11th, publishes a long
list of promotions of officers who had distinguished
themselves at Arad. A letter from that city, pub-
lished in the Austrian Lloyd's, says :
" On the 25th ult. there was brought here, from Vil-
lagos, 15 insurgent generals, 2,100 superior officers. 208
officers of the staff, and 11,000 soldiers and sub-officers.
The merciful conduct of the council of war has been
much praised ; and, with the exception of Colonel
Plonay, executed on the 22d, no execution has taken
place. On the 29th there were burnt, in front of the
house of General Schlick, bank bills issued by Kossuth,

here
around Arad there are no fewer than 100,000 Aus-
trians and Russians. They are continually bringing
in insurgent officers as prisoners from Transylvania.
The cholera, dysentery, and fevers are the order of the
day here."

It has been officially announced in Vienna that
Austria has demanded from the Porte the extradition
of KOSSUTH and his companions.
VIENNA, SEPT. 15.—Field-Marshal RA DETSIC
who has long been impatiently expected here, arrived
to-day at 12 o'clock. His progress from the railway
station to the Imperial Palace resembled that of a
triumphal entry. The Lloyd says a vast concourse
of persons awaited his arrival at the southern termi-
nus. It is utterly impossible to describe the hearty
enthusiasm with which he was welcomed. The noble
veteran's appearance produced a most powerful and
gratifying impression.
The Ban JELLACHICH, who had repaired to the
terminus to welcome the hero, was received with
loud cheers. All the windows along the line of
procession were decorated with hangings, busts, &c.
Joyous acclamations greeted the veteran hero from
every heart of the assembled multitude, and hundreds
pressed around his carriage to catch a glimpse of his
countenance.

ONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CI7'Y, QUARTER TO THREE.

The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was to
a moderate extent. The sales were estimated at about
5,000 bales, including 4,500 American at 4id. to 7d.,
150 Egyptian at 61d. to 7d., and 200 Surat at 4d. to 44d
per lb.--Railway Shares were rather firmer.
The chief and most important political news received
by the American steamer relates to the contemplated
attempt upon the part of certain Americans to attack
the Spanish island of Cuba, with the avowed object of
declaring it an American state. The American Govern
ment was taking the necessary measures to suppress the
movement.
From Canada the news is not of special interest.
With regard to commercial interests the accounts are
favourable. The fall trade, which has just commenced,
is represented as active for the time of year, and the
prospects of the next few months were considered satis-
factory. The cotton market, owing to the news
from England, bad become very active, and firm at
a rise of id. :per lb. The flour market, however,
was dull, and the business doing in provisions was rather
limited than otherwise. The money market was abun•
dantly supplied for all necessary purposes at easy rates,
and which it was expected would be the case for the re-
mainder of the year. Freights to Liverpool were dull
at id, for cotton. Exchange on London, by no means
active at lOn to 110 e.
There was an excellent demand for imported goods
from both England and France for the interior, and
notwithstanding that the arrivals had been rather large,
prices ruled high and firm.
In continuation of the arguments based upon official
data, and already advanced under this bead in favour of
a line of railway, as a national undertaking,
from Halifax to Quebec, it may be remarked
that the best information obtained proves that
the land for the greater portion of the road will not
have to be purchased. Timber and stone will be had
nearly along the whole line for the labour of cutting and
quarrying. Judging then from the analogy afforded by
similar, or nearly similar, lines in the neighbouring
awes, giving due weight to the considerations which
have a tendency to modify the cost in the particular
case of the Halifax and Quebec line, and forming
the best estimate to be derived from the data
obtained upon the exploratory survey, which, under the
circumstances of a perfectly new country, only partly
explored, and still covered with a dense forest, is all
that can in the first instance be done, it is considered
that if the sum of 7001. sterling per mile be assumed as
the probable cost of the proposed line, it will not be
far from the correct amount. The total distance from
Halifax to Quebec will be about 635 miles.
It is estimated, therefore, that the cost for con-
struction and equipment of the proposed trunk line,
from Halifax, through New Brunswick, to Quebec, will
amount to 5,000,0001. sterling.
The question which presents itself next for conside-
ration, and has been considered by the officers ap-
pointed, is a very important one, namely, the probable
returns for such an expenditure.
The information to be afforded on this head can
only be derived in 0 very general way, from a consi-
deration of the present population and resources of the
three provinces.
The direct communication between the two termini,
Halifax arid Quebec, is of a very limited nature. By
land it is confined almost to the conveyance of the mails.
Passengers proceed generally by way of the United
States.

By sea, in 1847, the communication was by seven-
teen vessels, which arrived at Quebec, having a tonnage
of 1,257, and eighteen departed from that port fur
Hal:tax whose tonnage amounted to 1,386 tons.
This amount of intercourse dews not at the first
view appear encouraging to expected receipts, but when
tt is made to appear that this limited intercourse arises
entirely from the waneof good means of intercommuni-
cation, such as would be afforded by the proposed rail-
way, it becomes a strong argument in favour of making
the line rather than against it.
Havre accounts to yesterday afternoon report no
change in the Cotton Market. It remained inactive,
waiting for the news from America. The sales yesterday
amounted to only 144 bales for local consumption.
Prices steady.
The accounts from the various continental Bourses
represent a general rise in the value of the respective
national stocks. At Paris, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Ber-
lin, Frankfort, and Madrid prices have risen.
Business in the Home Funds continues limited, but
which in some degree necessarily results from the fact of
most of the transfer-books forgeneral stocks being closed
preparatory to the payment of the October dividends.
The market is also unaltered, prices being the same to-day
as yesterday. Consols have been done at 92i and for
Money, and at 92i and II for Account, and which are the
present prices. Exchequer. bills have been operated in
at 355. and at 375. prem.; India Stock at 254.; and ditto
Bonds at 745. prem.
The Foreign Stock Market is generally better, and
there is more business doing. There have been deal-
ings in Buenos Ayres at 484.; Peruvian at 56 to it.;
Grenada at 164 ; Ditto Deferred, at 3i; Spanish Five
per Cents. with Dividends for May, 1840, at 14; Dutch
Two-and-a- Halt' per Cents. at 54 to t ; Ditto Four per
Cents, at 85 to ; Portuguese Five per Cents. Con-
verted at 27i; Ditto Four per Cents. at 284. Mexican
Bonds, however, are not so good as yesterday ; they
have declined to 27i to j.
The Railway Market has, on the whole, a decidedly
better appearance. Prices are generally firmer, and in
several instances higher, whilst purchases begin to in.
crease, and sales, on the contrary, to decrease. North-
Western and Midl•end are each 11. higher. There is a
good deal doing in the latter stock, at 52i to 53} ex.
