TURKEY.

A letter, published in the French Journal des
Debats, dated 15th September, gives the following
history of the negotiations which had taken place up
to that date on the subject of the extradition of the
Hungarian refugees :
" Oa the day after his arrival Prince Radzivill was
received by the Sultan, but the audience was one of
mere ceremony. Two days after the council assembled.
The sitting was a very stormy one ; opinions were di-
vided ; but the great majority, among whom were all
the most influential 'members, and particularly the
Grand Vizier, the Seraskier, and Scheik-uldslam, were
in favour of refusing the extradition. The Dragomans
of Austria and Russia are every day besieging the
Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
demanding a positive answer. On Saturday a con-
ference took place at Batts Liman, between the
Grand Vizier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
Ministers of Russia and Austria, and Prince
Radzivill, which lasted a long time. Arguments
on both sides were exhausted, wlitn M. de Titoff, the
Russian Ambassador, rose and said, ' Well, then, it
is a refusal.' No,' replied the Grand Vizier, only
we beg the Emperor, since cur conscience will not allow
03 to give those men up, to confide them to our care,
and the Sultan pledges himself to guard them faithfully,
so that there ca'i never be any danger for the tranquil-
lity of his states.' The conference was then broken up,
and an answer to the above effect handed to the Minis-
ters of Russia and Austria. To-day Prince Radzivill
had an audience to take leave. There is a talk of send-
ing a Turkish functionary on an extraordinary mission,
with letters from the Sultan for the Emperors of Russia
and Austria."

A letter of the 16th
says :
" Yesterday, after the ultimatum handed to the
Porte by the Russian and Austrian Ministers, Ge•
neral Aupick decided on detaining the Telemaque
steam-packet for twenty-four hours, in order to an-
nounce the result of that step to his Government.
I take advantage of this circumstance to add some de-
tails to those I sent you yesterday. It was only this
evening that the reply of the Divan to that ultimatum
was made known. This morning
.the Minister of Fo•
reign Affairs addressed to the French and English Mi-
nisters a note in which he put the following questions
to them:—.l. Do the treaties of Kutchuck-Kamardji, and
of Passarovitch give the two powers, Russia and Prus-
the right to demand the extradition of the Hunga-
rian refugees?-2. Would the refusal of the Sultan to
deliver them up be an infraction of those treaties?-3.
Could the two Powers, in consequence of such refusal,
declare war against the Porte?-4. In the event of the
two powers declaring war, would England and France
support Turkey with an armed force ?-5. Are
the refugees claimed by Russia the subjects of
that power ?-6. In case the refusal of the Porte should
only cause a rupture of relations between the Divan
and the Ministers of the two demanding Powers, and a
state of coolness more or less prolonged of those two
Powers toward Turkey, would France and England in•
terfere to re-establish the relations on their former
footing? Soon after the receipt of this communication
the French and English Ambassadors had a con
ference, and decided on replying by a collective note,
which was delivered in the course of the day to the
Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs. The reply, if
I am well informed, is as follows :—On the first
question. No ; the treaties alluded to do not confer
the right on Austria and Russia. Qn the second ques-
tion. No; the refusal of the Porte would not be any
infraction of the treaties. On the third question. It
cannot be admitted that such a refusal c )uld be followed
by a declaration of war, and such a declaration, if it

took place, would be unjustifiable. On the fourth
question. The two ambas,adors cannot guarantee the
cooperation of the armed forces of England and France
without receiving special instructions. On the fifth
question. It is possible that some of the refugees
claimed by Russia may be still subjects of that power,
but for the generality of them it is incontestable, that
the refugees, whose extradition is demanded, are not
Russian subjects. On the sixth question. Yes, France and
England will actively interfere with Russia and Austria
to re-establish good relations between thebe two powers
and the Porte. There can be no doubt, in my opinion,
but that this note will powerfully contribute to main-

tain the Porte in its former determination ; that the
ultimatum will be rejected, and that there will result a
rupture of rdations between the Russian and Austrian
Ministers and the Divan. But a declaration of war for
such a motive would appear such an odious act that we
can barely admit its possibility. There is, however,
everything to be dreaded on the part of a power such as
Russia, and Europe will do well to be on its guard."
A third letter, dated the 17th, says—
" Yesterday, in consequence of the receipt of the col-
lective note of the French and English Ambassadors,
in reply to the questions addressed to them by the
Porte, the Council assembled at the resider:ce of
the. Minister of War, when it was unanimously de-
cided that no change should be made in the previous
resolutions. The minutes of the conference, signed by
all the members except the physician in chief, Abdul:ez
Effendi, who is devoted to Russia, and who was not
present, was sent to the palace and received the signs•
ture of the Sultan. Thus the refusal of the Porto to
yield to the ultimatum of Russia and Austria is defini-

Live, and General Aupick to-day sends off an express to
meet the Tek maple at Athens, and convey intelligence
to his Government of what has taken place. Find
Effendi, a commissioner of the Porte in the principali-
ties, has been chosen to proceed on an extraordinary
mission to the Emperor of Russia, to convey the answer
of the Sultan to the letter brought by Prince Radzivill.
He will set off immediately for St. Petersburgh. Events
are urgent—France and England have not a moment to
loge if they wish to place in the scale the weight of their
counsels and their influence, and thereby prevent more
serious complications."

_ The letter-carriers have agreed to memorialise the
Post-office authorities for the purpose of putting a stop
to the present system of sending coin and enclosures of
value through the post. They repudiate, as a class,
although a badly paid one, wholesale strictures upon
their honesty, founded upon the losses of which parties
sending money in letters complain.

ITALY.

The Giornale di Roma of the 22d states that the
affairs of the Roman Bank having been investigated,
it is found that the interests of the proprietors have
been completely protected during the late troubles.
A meeting of the proprietors is called by the directors
fur the 7th December next.

The Concordia of Turin s tp, the pretended armis-
tice of the POPE is in fact an act of excommunica-
tion. Everyone is leaving 11)me. Among the exiles
most distinguished are MASI, MORELLI, GAUCCI,
PASQUALIS, CALDERARI, and General Z A MBONI.
There is universal discontent and complaint, there
being scarcely a family who does not smart under the
miscalled act of clemency of the PONTIFF.
M. DE CORCELLES has, it is said, taken several of
the proscribed under French protection, and has
engaged himself for their safety.
The Chamber of Deputies of Turin have authorised
the collection of the taxes for the ensuing quarter.

ONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a pretty general trade demand for Cotton
at Liverpool yesterday, but not for large parcels. Brazil
and Egyptian were heavy of sale at a decline of id. per
lb. The sales were estimated at nearly 6,000 bales, of
which 1,200 American were taken on speculation and
for export. The transactions comprised from 4 500 to
5,000 bales American; 150 Pernam and Maranham at
54d. to 54d., 250 Surat at 4d. to 40., and 50 Sea Island
at 9id. to 11d, per lb.—ln Railway Shares only a limited
business was done.
We regret to find by private letters received this
morning from Manchester, that trade is quite as dull as
the local journals have lately represented it to be, but
still with a fair prospect of returning activity.
Messrs. M`Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, write us
that " with occasional, but momentary alleviation, the
aspect of this market from the commencement to
the close of the month has been one of increasing dul-
ness and depression, a state of things rendered necessarily
more manifest by the extraordinary activity which pre-
vailed two months ago. However, though operations
have been conducted on a limited scale, and made
available to existing wants, and though they are
much behind those of August in extent, they
are much greater than what might have been expected
from outward appearances, as will be found verified by a
reference to the sake, with the exception of nearly every
range of Water Twist, and almost all descriptions of
Long and T. Clotts, with the heavy makes of Domestics
and Moleskins, which are not only very heavy
in stock, but unremunerative to the producers.
Stocks are by no means large. Prices, which
are generally lower than they were at the end
of August, are becoming very irregular. Whilst one
class of producers may be found demanding compara-
tively high prices, another class with the completion of
existing contracts is anticipating lower rates by yield-
ing timely concessions. The demand for the country trade,
though somewhat improved during the present week,
has been very far from what it should be at this season
of the year. We believe this to be the opinion of nearly
all those engaged in it. The visitation of the cholera,
now happily subsiding, has no doubt exercised in many
districts a very prejudicial influence; and the results of
railway speculation, with the present depreciated value
of railway property, are not unattended with
injurious effects upon this essentially important source
of national prosperty. As regards the commercial ad-
vices by the last " Overland Mail," they are favourable
with respect to the markets of Bombay and Calcutta,
but most unfavourable in reference to China. Beyond a
little more inquiry, the recounts from Irdia
have produced no effect here; nor are they
likely so to do, while prices abroad and at home continue
to render adventures unprofitable generally. We con-
tinue to recognize the elements of prosperity, and attri-
bute the present inactivity mainly to the high price of
cotton, to the high prices necessarily demanded here,
and to the extraordinary amount of business transacted
during the preceding eleven months."
The Royal Mail steamer Medway, from the West
Indies, has unexpectedly arrived several days before she
is due. The accounts as to the weather are for the most
part satisfactory, and there is a prospect of fair crops. In
Demerara sugar making was in progress,and in Barbadoes
Trinidad and the neighbouring islands it bad turned out
well. An important pericd had commenced for Jamaica,
viz., the opening of the Legislative session, but already
there had been indications of a party spirit, at the very
time when harmony is so essential. The Governor pro-
mised retrenchment and counselled reform, but the
parrot cry of protection drowns still every call for
energy.
Lima correspondence, received by private firms here,
states that the country was perfectly tranquil. The
markets were rather depressed owing to the large
quantity of goods sent for California.
From South Australia there is intelligence of May
29 by ship direct. Four emigrant ships had arrived eat,
viz., the Stebonheath, Ancient Briton, William Hyde,
and the German vessel Dockenhinden. The passengers
generally were well. Burra Burra mine shares realised
162. Captain Beevor, a very old and highly respected
settler, had been barbarously murdered in his own hut,
by a party of natives, and without the slightest pro-
vocation.
Nothing has yet been heard.of-tb.e.steamer due from
Halifax.
The Bourse reports, received this morning, advise a
slight decline in prices at Paris, and very little doing at
Amsterdam, where the Two-and-a-Half per Cents: were
quoted 54. The quotation at Vienna on the 26th ult.
was 96 for the Metallics, and at Frankfurt on the 29. h
there was no particular change.
There has been a fluctuating market for public
securities, and
_the decline taking yesterday's closing
and this morning's lowest value, is about one-half
per cent. Consols which left off yesterday at
92 have been done at 91i and 92 for Money,
and ura°sew 92 to it. Time bargains have been
effected at 92kto 92a, and the quotation at present is 92i
to I. The stlite of the political relations between Bus-
6la and Turkey is of course the predisposing cause of
the sensitiveness of the market, and upon it there have
been rather heavy sales. Exchequer-bills have realised
38s to 4 ts, and India Bonds 74s premium. East India
Stock has been quoted 257.
The Foreign Securities have been flat, by sympathy
with Consols. Spanish Five per Cents. have been
marked 161 2, and the Three per Cents. 23. Portu-
guese Four per Cents are nominally 29 to 30 ' • Buenos
Ayres are dull at 40, a Outlier decline ; Grenada
Bonds realise lei ; Mexican have been 26i s ; and Pe-
ruvian 53. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are
52i to 521.
The Railway Share Market is without the least buoy.
ancy, and the business doing is very restricted. Great
Western Shares have not been quite so good. North-
Westere are much the same, and Midland nominal.
North British are firmer, and South-Eastern and Cale-
donia barely so good. The French lines are lower.

MA Iti.BßO'-ST itiET—(THIS DAY.)
A well-dr. ssed man, who gave the name of John
Charles Hodge, was charged before Mr. Bingham with
having uttered a spurious cheque, with intent to defraud
Mr. Samuel Genese, the keeper of a coffee-house, 125,
Jermyn-street.
It appeared, from the evidence, that on the 22d of
Sept. last, the prisoner purchased a diamond ring of the
prosecutor, for which he agreed to pay 61. In payment,
he gave prosecutor a cheque upon Sir John Lubbock's
bank for 81. 45., receiving at the time the balance of
2/. 4s. On presenting the: cheque et the banker's
next day, it was discovered that the prisoner had not,
nor never had, any account there. Nothing more was
seen of the prisoner until last night, when he was met
by the prosecutor, who gave him in charge.
Sergeant English, 1 C., said there were several other
charges of a similar nature against the prisoner, and
prayed to have him remanded for a few days.
The prisoner was remanded till Saturday.

WESTERN LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITU-
TION.—The lecture season of this valuable institution
commenced last evening with a well- selected concert,
and a contrersazione, which was fully attended. The
musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr.
May, and the programme put forth on the occasion con-
tained several beautiful compositions, which were very
tastefully sung. In the first part of the concert Mr. E.
Roberts, the celebrate Welsh harpist, delighted the au-
dience with some of the exquisite native music of Cam-
bria, which elicited great applathe. Mr. Griesbach, in
the second part, played the " Carnival de Venice," on
the violin, in a style worthy of the great Sivori. At
the conclusion of the concert, the splendid drawing-
rooms of the institution were thrown open, and on the
tables several beautiful specimens of art and manufac-
ture were exhibited. Refreshments were served with
great liberality, end altogether, thanks to Mr. Malcolm,
the managing director, we passed a very delightful
evening. We regret to say Miss Huddart was prevented
appearing from indiipositiop. The Glee Concerts, we
are informed, commence on Monday evening next.

THE WEST INDIA MAILS.

The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's steam-
ship 'Medway arrived at Southampton yesterday,
under the commaed of Captain W. Symons, the
mails being in charge of Lieutenant Thomas S.
Scriven, Admiralty agent. The dates are as follows :
—Santa Martha, Aug. 19 ; Grey Town, Aug. 25 ;
Ch.igrcs, August 28 ; Carthagena' Aug. 31 ; Jamaica,
Sept. 7 ; Jactnel, Sept. 9 ; Porto Rico, Sept. 11 ; St.
Thomas, Sept. 14 ; Fcyal, Sept. 25. She brings
92,194 dollars on merchants' account; gold and gold
dust of the value of (309 914 dollars; bars of silver,
value in dollars, 258,366; platina, value in dollars,
657; pearls, value in dollars, 2,000 ; and British
silver, 3631 13s.

The weather experienced on the passage home was
very fine.

The Medway brings intelligence of the ravages of
the cholera at various places at which she touched.
At Santa Martha there was only one medical man
in the place, with a population of 5,000. Mr. Marks,
Ole British Consul at Bogota, landed, but in conse-
quence of the cholera raging, communication with the
interior was cut off, and he, with his wife and ser-
vant, were detained at Santa Martha, where from
the same cause several passengers were remaining,
who landed from the Dee, the packet before the
Medway.
Grey Town (late St. Juan de Nicaragua), and,
indeed the IA hole province, had been in a very dis-
turbed state, but was now more quiet, the leader of
the insurrectionary party having been taken and shot.
An embargo had been put on the bungways or river
boats, so that the Medway had no cargo, although it
was said there was a considerable quantity of indigo
at Lean and Grenada destined for England. The
inhabitants of Grey Town are in some alarm as the
Nicaraguans are threatening again to assert their
right to that place and the river San Juan, and, it is
said, intend sending General Maims with 300 men
down the river to take possession ; and as his Mus-
quitian Majesty has no force whatever to repel them,

they will have easy work. There has lately_ been a

Minister appointed by the United States to Nicara-
gua, and in his letter to the President he seems to

hold out a prospect that the Nicaraguans will be sup-
ported by America ; for in one paragraph he states
"that no European power has any right to interfere
with the American Republics. Nicaragua is one of
those republics, and sister to the United States.
America is for Americans, and Americans alone, and
this his Government was prepared to prove and carry
out."

The Medway arrived at Chagres on the 26th, and
left on the 28th. During the stay at Chagres the
schooner lona, of New Orleans, arrived from that
place with forty-six passengers for California, and
the steam ship Empire City, with 210 passengers, for
the same destination. Cholera had been raging at
Panama, Cruces, and Gargana, and had proved fatal
to many of the passengers from the states by the
Alabama and Empire City steamers, on their last
voyage, which is said to have been caused by intem-
perance, over-fatigue, and exposure, in their passage
from Chagres to Panama. At the latter place
cholera was on the decline, but had committed
dreadful ravages, having carried off between 800 in
between thirty and forty days out of a population of
between five and six thousand. This is independent
of the deaths among passengers in traneitu. The
Medway received 800,000 dollars' worth of specie
from Panama, out of which 82,101 was in gold from
California. The Government of New Grenada have
passed an Act by which all customs imposts, as
well as the exclusive right of the Government to
sell tobacco are abolished, and Panama becomes a free
port from and after the Ist January, 1850. The new
governor at Penama, Sen. I. de Obaldia, arrived there
on the 29th July ; he professes liberal principles and
great friendship for all foreigners. Panama is full of
foreigners, principally Americans, waiting for passage
to California.

At Carthagena, the Medway received about
150,000 dollars on freight. Cholera was on the de-
cline. By the official reports up to the 31st, 3,000
had fallen victims out of a population of 10,000. The
city is a perfect picture of desolation and ruin.
Trade was paralysed, and not above one house in
three appeared to have any inhabitant ; scarcely a
soul was to be seen in the streets; but provisions
which, when the cholera was at its height it was so
difficult to procure, were again becoming plentiful;
for, confidence having been restored, the peasantry
came freely with their produce. The only vessels in
the port were the Edith, of Dartmouth, in quarantine,
and the barque Deux Freres Unis, of St. Maloes.
The Medway found at Port Royal, Jamaica, the
commodore's ship Imaum. The Plumper sailed on
the 6:11 for Truxillo. Notice was given at the
Post-office that she was going to Honduras and
Grey Town, but her destination was suddenly
altered, and notice given to that effect by the
coinnu)dore. Her Majesty's ship He'ena had
sailed from St. Jago de Cuba for the Havannah
on the 4th instant, having been towed out of St.
Jago by the Royal Mail steamer Clyde. The
barque Chump, of Belfast, lying alongside
the Mail Company's wharf at Kingston, delivering
coals, caught fire on the 7th, about noon, from the
boiling over of a pitch-pot in the galley, but there
being plenty of help at hand it was soon got under,
and the damage done trifling. Great fears were en-
tertained lest it should spread to the wharfs, as the
sea breeze was blowing direct on.

The Jamaica Assembly met on the sth, and, after the
usual forms had been gone through, proceeded to the
election of a speaker, when the majority was in favour
of Dr. Morales, one of the principal leaders of the
party who so strenuously opposed the Government in
the late Assembly. The Governor then delivered the
following speech :

" Genilenien of the Council, Mr. Speaker, and Gen-
tlemen of the Assembly—lt is of some importance that,
at the opening of a new Parliament, there should be a
general understanding of the financial position of the
colony ; and the Receiver-General, by my desire, has
prepared some returns, which I hope may contribute to
the attainment of that object.
" The whole general expenditure for the twelve
months ending on the sth of luly last appears, by these
returns, to have been 213,0001., including the expenses of
collecting the revenue; and of that sum more than

10,0001. were parochial charges temporarily thrown upon
the general treasury, and nearly the same amount con-
sisted of grants of an occasional and contingent charac-
ter; so that, although, on the other hand, the Receiver
General has not had funds sufficient to pay th© interest
upon the loan from her Majesty's Government, which is
6,4001. per annum, the inference appears to be fairly
d-ducible that the general and ordinary expenditure, in-
cluding the cost of collecting the revenue, and the inte-
rest on every description of public debt and liability, but
exclusive of any payments of principle, and of expenses
of immigration, and of all other occasional and novel
grants, and of all parochial charges. might, by due care,
and with an accurate system of accounts, bo kept down
to about 200,000!.

" The receipts of general revenue for the twelve
months ending on the sth of July last, :appear, by the
receiver-general's return, to have amounted only to
186,500/. ; but more tha❑ the difference between that
sum and the sum of 200,0001. is accounted for by the
falling off in the collections of the rum dmies, and of the
taxes on stock and carriages, and of the quit-rent and
land-tax, all of which has been occasioned by the non-
renewal of the rum duties, and by the defective returns
which of late years have been made of land subject to
quit-rent and land-tax, or by the postponement of the
payments of the taxes which was effected by the Act of
1847, which provides for the collection of them, and it
seems to result plainly from the returns that if the
revenue had been re-established on the footing on which
it stood during 1848, and if it had been collected, it
would have amounted to more than 200,0001., and would
have been more than equal to the established and ordi-
nary general expenditure which I have specified.
" There is nothing which leads me to suppose that the
ordinary sources of revenue would be less productive for
the next twelve or fifteen months. On the contrary, the
decrease in the receipt of import duties for the year
ending the sth of July, 1849, as compared with the year
ending on the sth of 1848, is less than might have been
expected from the total cessation of differential duties,
and from the reduction of the ad valorem duty from 4 to
2 per cent.; and in the latest receipt of import duties,
namely, those of the quarter ending on the sth of July
last, there is a positivetincrease of 4,000/. above the cor-
responding quarter of the previous year.
"I have said that in the ordinary general expenditure,
which I have estimated at 200,0001., I have not included
nor made any allowance for novel grants for occasional
purposes, some of which have almost always found their
way into the Act which has been known in cowmen par-
lance as the Poll Tax Act; but I do not include those
grants, such as the contingent expenses of the Legisla-
ture, which, though, of varying amount, are of constant
recurrence; and the others ought not, nor perhaps, in
present circumstances, are likely to be so large or nu-
merous as to exceed the saving which, even in a revenue
of 200,000/., might still be effected, by a more perfect
method of keeping and a more effectual system of audit-
ing the public accounts, and by a more cultivated and
economical management of some departments of the ex-
penditure.
" To the payment of any considerable portion of the
principal of the public debt, a revenue of 200,0001. is
certainly not adequate; and if the credit of the island
had been maintained, there probably would have been
no call within the next twelve months to pay off any
portion of the principal, which might not have been met
by frssh issues of certificates on the same terms as the
old ones; and the demands for deposits would most
likely have been balanced by the incoming of others.
But it is my painful duty to inform you there is too
much reason to fear that in consequence of the proceed-
ings of the last colonial Parliament there might be con-
siderable difficulties at
,present in raising any money
upon treasury certificates, and in such circumstances I
confess that I am not aware of any means on which you
could rely, for meeting the large demands which will be

made upon you for the payment of certificates in the
course of the year 1850, unless the Imperial Parliament
could be prevailed upon to authorise an application to
that purpose of the guaranteed loan which was offered
to you for the accomplishment of different objects.
" For parochial expenditure you know that at present
there is no provision at all, and it certainly would be im•
possible to provide for it out of a general revenue of
2,0001. It deserves, perhaps, to be considered whether
the best course might not be to give the justices And
