HAMBURGH MAIL.

14112URGII, OCT. 26.—COMMERCIAL MOVEMENTS.
—Business on 'Change is very circumscribed; dis-
count 6 per cent. Nothing doing in the funds. Rail-
yap shares were rather higher in the morning, but as
there is no inclination to buy, they closed lower.
BERLIN, OCT. 2G.—Funds and railway shares very
animated ; the Exchange was rather lower; Berlin
Hamburgh shares, on the contrary, were higher.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 24.--Business of every kind—
funds as well as railway shares—was very flat. Not-
withstanding our continued unfavourable advices
from London, and the decline of the Spanish funds,
there was, however, no change in our Consols. In-
tiguals and Austrian shares were flat.
BRESLAU, OCT. 23.—A very brisk trade in corn,
especially from Upper Silesia. Bargains were not
only concluded in loco, but for delivery in the spring.
Prices have not been influenced by the increased
business, and remain steady at our last notices :
Wheat, best quality, 96 to 99; Rye, 68 to 70; Bar-
ley, 56 to 58 ; Oats, 28 to 31.
ODESSA, OCT. 4.—A great deal of business has
been doing in the corn trade for the last five days.
The sales amounted to nearly 23,000 chetwerts of
Polish wheat, at 21 to 23r. ; rye 3,000 chetwerts, at
11/ to 12/. It can be attributed only to the want of
ready cash that not more business was done, for there
are 100 ships lying in the harbour ready to be
freighted. This circumstance will certainly bring
down the price of freights the 6th October. During
the last two days we have sold nearly 60,000 chet:-
werts or 150,000 stajas of wheat, at 20 to 25r. ; to-
day the holders ask 26r. This great stir in trade
may be ascribed partly to the number of ships lying
in the harbour ready to be laden, and partly to the
more favourable advices from England, France, and
Belgium. Sales are likewise made beforehand, in the
expectation of orders from abroad, but if these should
fail, there will be a still further reduction in the
prices. If there were more ready money in the
market, bargains would be made on less favourable
terms to the buyers.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 29.—The house of De Poorter
has just stopped payment for the sum of 600,000 f.
M. de Poorter is the inventor of the mechanical
weaving loom, and has hitherto employed 400 work-
men in his manufactory ; he is a machinist.
TIIE CHOLERA.—Letters from Moscow state that
the cholera has broken out in that city; it is pur-
suing its devastating course along the Volga, and has
already carried off 60,000 victims in Russia. Not-
withstanding all the means used, it seems impossible
to stop its progress. The Government does not con-
sider it contagious.
BERLIN, OCT. 27.—The Prince of Prussia has just
published a letter, in which he states that the reports
which have been so generally in circulation, that it is
the intention of his Majesty the King of Hanover to
form a regency, in the prospect of his Majesty's
lengthened absence, and that the Prince of Prussia
has been requested to be Regent, are without foun-
dation.

HAM:WIWI', OCT. 26.--IMPROVEMENT OF THE
FINANCIAL ORGANIZATION.--The first proposition to
be submitted to the Senators will be the improvement
of the system of finance. To effect this a revising
committee will be in the first instance appointed,
which is to consist of three members of the Senate and
of five burghers. The latter are to be chosen, one
from each parish, and the senior is to return every two
years. The budget of the current year, as well

as the state expenditure of the former year, fire to be
laid betore this Committee, as well as the statement
of the funds destined for further objects. The Re-
vising Committee has the power to call on the Budget
Committee to give both verbal and written explana-
tions. Proposed improvements in the city, which are
provided for from the public money, must likewise be
submitted to this Committee, if it exceeds a certain
sum. The Report of the Revenue Committee shal
in all cases be submitted to the Senate.
