Informed was his own father. On witness remon-

Ik'lice constables K 173, K 247, and K 365, de-

ThThe prisoner, in his defence, in a sullen manner,
said, what right had any body to interfere between
rue and my father, I'd serve anybody else that inter-
fered in the same way."
Mr. YARDLEY said that he had not power suffi-
ciently to punish such a desperado as the prisoner,
who had been guilty of the most unmanly, brutal,
and outrageous violence, and he should therefore fully
commit him to Newgate for trial.

COUNTY COURTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—I have been much struck with the ability of
your article in your Evening Paper of the 4th instant,
relative to Mr. A. Clarke's case in the Court at West-
minster. Give me a corner in your excellent jour-
nal for the following case of hardship :
On Monday last I went over to Northwich, to
answer in the recently established County Court
there a claim of 1/. Bs. made upon me, and alleged to
have been incurred in 1842.
Since that period I have been bankrupt, of which
niotice, agreeably to the summons, was immediately
given to the clerk of the Court, and also to the plain-
tiff, and begging of the latter that he would not put
the to the expense of a twenty miles' journey. I got
no reply.
I felt compelled to incur the expense and loss of
tune to defend myself by my certificate against this
attempt to mulct me of a snm he knew I did not owe,
because, had he been suffered to succeed, all the cre-
ditors under our bankruptcy might have copied his
example.
The case was heard, and after a search into books
and precedents decided in my favour.
I now applied to the judge (Mr. Harding) for my
expenses, and satisfaction for my trouble and loss of
time, under section 79 of the recent Act.
" If the plaintiff shall not make proof of his demand
to the satisfaction of the court, it shall be lawful for
the judge to award to the defendant by way of costs
and satisfaction for his trouble and attendance such
sum," &c. &c.
Instead of acting on this power, he turned to me
and said, " You have no locus standi there, and it is
indulgence enough that I have allowed you to conduct
your own defence ; I shall not allow you anything."
Such treatment, Sir, hardly needs comment. lam
poor, and could not afford the cost of the journey
and the loss of time which it entailed upon me. What
is the use, Sir, of such a clause as the above if poor
Persons like myself are to be treated in this way ? Is
misfortune to be treated as a crime ? In what ima-
ginable instance can we hope for a favourable appli-
Cation of the clause if in mine it be denied ?
I enclose my name and address.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

Oct. 8.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
M. Jullien, the new lessee of Old Drury, com-
menced his campaign last night with Promenade
Concerts. The house was crowded to excess in every
part. The pit, as on former occasions, was covered
over, and the orchestra built on the stage. The band
is selected from the best orchestral performers of
the Philharmonic and Ancient Concerts, her
Majesty's Theatre, and the Royal Italian Opera.
Miss Dolby is engaged for a limited number of nights,
and sang a new Swiss ballad very effectively.
Sainton, whose violin performances have of late been
the " gems " of the Philharmonic concerts, played in
a most masterly style a solo on airs from Donizetti's
opera of Luerezia Borgia, and was received with
rapturous applause; his bowing is very superior. In
addition, we had Jullien's usual admirable selection
of overtures, quadrilles, and waltzes, which, of course,
Were rapturously applauded. Between the first and
second part of the concert the National Anthem was
performed. The coup aril presented by the house
at this moment, when all the audience rose, was
magnificent ; each box was a framed picture.
The new decorations are simple, although exceedingly
effective. The ground of the
whole is a faint blossom
colour, approaching a white, and the ornaments,
which are all appliqué, are gilt. The fronts of all
the boxes are laced with a trellis of large mesh, formed
of an enriched moulding, gilt, and upon this festoons
of detached flowers, very nicely modelled, and also
gilt, are suspended. On the dress boxes the festoons
are looped through wreaths, on the next tier tied
with a gilt riband, and on the front of the third tier
the festoon consists of riband only. The fluted Co-
rinthian columns which form the proscenium, two
on each side, have their capitals and bases gilt, and.
the flutes entwined by a continuous wreath of
flowers, gilt, as have also the small columns
which support the boxes throughout the house.
The whole of the ornaments, fruit, and flower
work, are of papier macho, the ornamented
moulding which forms the trellis being of a new
patent machine-made kind. The ceiling is painted
to represent the sky seen from a roofless building,
and much ingenuity is exhibited in the endeavour. A
continuation of the gilt trellis work, rising from the
walls, forms an inclosure around the lower part of
circle; and the central glass chandelier, a new one, is
made to present, by masses of drops, six flags, with the
lines of the union-jack marked on each of them by
light. It is kept close up to the ceiling, and is
upheld by six flying cupids, The draperies are of
bright scarlet cloth with yellow edging, which pro-
duces a brilliant effect. The boxes are lined with
yellow-patterned paper on a crimson ground. The
"family boxes" have been cleared away, so as to
form an enclosed area for standing spectators. The
arrangement of the whole has been under the su-
perintendence of Mr. Frederick Gye, and reflects the
highest credit on his taste. Each of the favourite
artistes was received with applause.

Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston are sur-
rounded by a distinguished circle at Broadlands, their
seat in Hants. The party include his Excellency the
Duke de Broglie, his Excellency the Austriam I has-
sexit,•y and the Countess Dietrichstein, his Excellency
Baron Brunnow, Count and Countess d'Haussonville,
Count Honri de Bearn, Lord and Lady Holland, Hon.
Captain Robert Gore and Miss Sullivan. The visitors
in the early Tart of. the week have comprised Sir
Augustus and La diy Albina Forster and Mr. V. Forster,
Sir Augustus Chiford and Miss Clifford, Hog. Mrs.
Lamb, Mr. Norman Macdonald, &c.
With a trifling exception or two, hop-picking in
this neighbourhood has been brought to a close. The
weather of the past weak having been fine has permitted
the operation to be curried on uninterruptedly ; and,
though the result falls short of last year, the estimate of
duty is rising, it being now set at from 175,0001. to
180,0001. General accounts state the picking to be
nearly concluded, the deficiency in the crop compared
with last year being from one to two cwt. an acre, and
in some instances even more. Though there was a
lame supply of new hops in Canterbury market on Sa-
turds:jv-. few were sold.—Kentish Observer.
AMERICAN ADMIRERS OF SIIIKSPERE.—The num-
ber of Amt' can names, with the addresses at full length,
Scrawled over tie walls is Legion. This mode of personal
glorification is e' .tried by the Americans to the height of
a national passion. Not content with writing up their
names and the placet. A of their abode, and sometimes even
their ages, with notesl of admiration, and a labyrinth of
flourishes, they emplc ,y such huge letters as fairly to
blot, out the more me, 'lest inscriptions of their pre-
decessors. The name anti\ address of one Samuel Mason,

beam which traverses the ceiling, in great thick cha-

MONDAY.

Mr. HENRY RAWSON said that he had called the
meeting together, and he wished that to be clearly
' understood. He and a few other shareholders had
conferred together, and at their request he had con-
. sidered it his duty to call the other shareholders to-
gether. Their object was to form a nucleus whose
object should be to prevent any further extension of
, the works at present. Upon the original shares 21.
2s. had been paid up, and the price of those shares at
the present time was not more than ss. Now, he
understood that 30s. per share was in the hands of
' the directors, and therefore he thought it was not
wisdom to expend more money until the proprietors
were consulted. It was a question whether it would not
be wise to wind up the concern altogether, and return
the 30s. per share to the holders. The fact was, that
the shares were at present so low that they could
hardly be given away. Under these circumstances
he would advise that the question was not fully en-
tered into at that meeting, but that a deputation
should be appointed to confer with the directors as to
the best course to be adopted.
Mr. MPARLANR wished to know if the gentlemen
calling that meeting had had any communication with
the directors on the subject of the meeting?
Mr. RAWSON said they had not seen the directors
on the subject, because they thought it better to
have the opinion of the shareholders in the first in-
stance.
Mr. M'FARLANE said that at their last general
meeting Mr. France, their chairman, had told them
that no further calls would be made until the next
meeting, and he wished, therefore, to know whether
anything had occurred to alter that determination.
Mr. HORATIO SMITH said that whatever might
have been the promises made at the last meeting,
they were indebted to Mr. Rawson for calling them
together.
Mr. THOMAS PEET said he thought the pledge
given by the chairman, on behalf of the directors,
that no further calls would be made without the con-
sent of the shareholders, ought to be sufficient. They
were well known to be honourable men, and therefore
to be relied upon. He wished to know what really
was the character of the movement. He had been
informed that certain parties had been buying up the
shares at ss. a share, with the view of having the
company dissolved, and the affairs wound up, by
which they would pocket the 305. per share which
was in the hands of the directors.
A SHAREHOLDER said that at their last general
meeting the chairman had assured them that their
expenditure should not be allowed to exceed 1001. a
month, and therefore he thought the works should be
proceeded with as the directors thought best.
Sir RALPH PENDLEDURY said the object of the
meeting was to try if they could not prevail upon the
directors either to postpone the works or abandon the
scheme altogether ; and he must say that he would
prefer the latter course.
The CHAIRMAN explained, and said the object of
the meeting was to make certain representations to the
directors, and not to discuss the merits of the line.
Mr. RAWSON said that he did not think Mr. Peet
was justified in casting out such insinuations, and at-
tributing such motives. He was actuated by no other
motive than that of benefiting the shareholders,
and of preventing speculations in such stocks; and
the question really was whether a committee
should be appointed to wait on the directors. If the
directors agreed with the opinions which he and many
of the shareholders held, then there would not be any
necessity for further trouble ; but he pledged himself '
to adopt every means in his power to carry out his
own views in the event of the directors differing from
the shareholders. He would leave no means untried
to resist the progress of the works in the present state
of commercial embarrassment, and concluded by
moving a committee to wait on the directors, to confer
with them, and to report to another meeting to be
held hereafter.
Mr. M'FARLANE seconded the motion.
A somewhat angry and personal discussion ensued,
in which Mr. Hobson, Mr. Peet, Mr. Rawson, Mr.
Smith, and other shareholders, took part, after which
the motion was carried.
The committee so appointed consisted of Sir Ralph
Pendlebury, Mr. Henry Rawson, Mr. John War-
lane, Mr. Horatio Smith, and Mr. Thomas Tomason,
of Bolton.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the
meeting separated.

THE RAILWAY COMPANIES AND
THE -PRESENT DISTRESS.
One direct cause of the present distress, especially
at Manchester and Liverpool, can be traced to a mode
of action of the railway companies which, although it
has generally escaped remark, is, perhaps, as far as
it goes, more fraught with danger than all the rest of
their proceedings put together. The four millions
a month which these parties claim is not enough for
their objects. The merchant and manufacturer when
these are paid do not know the worst. Four millions
a month may be taken from the market, but it can-
not be distributed all at once. While the large pro-
portion is yet passing into the hands of the labourer,
from him to the shopkeeper, from the shopkeeper to
the importer, and from the importer to the
produce grower of South America, Russia, or the
United States, there is still a considerable amount
that finds its way back, temporarily, at all events,
into the hands of the banks whence it was drawn,
and that might thus be supposed to be applicable to
the wants of those who are seeking their usual ac-
commodation in the money-market. As the amount
which filters back in this way is lessened month by
month so long as the pressure goes on, of course the
price must increase; but still, the merchant would
be disposed to say, " there, at all events, is a certain
quantity to be divided amongst us, and which those
will obtain who choose to bid the highest. The
weak must go to the wall, but the strong
may yet stand." In this, however, lies a grievous
error. The railway directors compete with him
still. He cannot escape from them, or move a step
but they will struggle with him and overcome
him. The portion of the calls which find their way
back to the money-market must again be delivered
to these gentlemen. 4,000,0001. a month, or such
proportion of it as may be paid to them, being
altogether inadequate to their wants (an amount
which they put up with in consideration of "the
existing pressure"), they deem it advisable to an-
ticipate future payments by carrying on works
beyond what these amounts will meet, and by
paying their contractors in promissory notes or
bills. These bills are thrown upon the discount
market, and when private firms seek accommo-
dation, they find there are other claimants before
them. It is true that, owing to the largeness of the
draughts as well as to the way in which they have
been discountenanced by the Bank of England, and
by the most respectable of the joint-stock and pri-
vate banks, they are negotiable only at a higher
rate of discount than would be demanded upon
legitimate acceptances, but the knowledge that
they carry the responsibility of a public body with
several millions of capital operates to keep this dif-
ference at a very moderate point, and even if it
were much greater than it is, it would still be no
protection to the merchant. Let the rate demanded
be what it may, the machinist, the contractor, or the
engineer who may have taken the bills of the com-
pany can outbid him step by step, and without the
slightest anxiety as to the ultimate point to which
it may be necessary to go, since it is more than sus-
pected that while making their payments in bills the
companies submit to a stipulation (which, indeed,
under certain circumstances would be an obvious
one) that any loss shall be made up to their creditor
which he may sustain in getting them discounted.
Thus, therefore, while the Legislature imagined they
had effectually provided against money being bor-
rowed by the companies at a higher rate than 5 per
cent., these bodies find themselves in a condition to
obtain it by offering at all times any rate that may
be necessary. This system is not of recent date, but
it has latterly increased in proportion as the strin-
gency c yp a

been carried on to an extent sufficient to explain
much of that pressure on the provincial discount
markets which has caused houses to suspend with
good bills in their cases seems to have been pretty
clearly ascertained, while it evidently affords a key
to worse that remains behind. When the railway
directors found the first warning of the consequences
of their career in the protests of their shareholders
against the inconveniences of calls, the public hoped
that a check had been administered. The issue of
debentures permitted by the Legislature, however,
served as a resource, and still the madness went on,
and when these could no longer answer, a return to
calls with threats of forfeiture, and in the face of
general distress, again showed the public that their
enemies were scarcely scotched. The final impossi-
bility of payment under any threats or force what-
ever, seemed at last, however, to hold out that the
end might be approaching, even although it could
only come amidst the general ruin of all the weaker
members of the community ; but now even this
turns out to be an error, and the public are destined
to find that there is yet no prospect of a stop—that
if calls carnot be met, money can, at all events, be
raised upon them in anticipation—and that, in fact,
so long as it is in the power of a single firm in Eng-
land to raise a single pound, it will still be in the
power of the railway companies to snatch it from
their hands.
Let this condition of things be fairly considered,
not merely to awaken alarm at the position in which
we now stand, but also that it may convey its moral.
Since the year 1837 we have been throwing stones
at America, but it may be questioned if, amidst all
the recklessness of the land-speculators of that
country and period a more desperate, evasive, or
culpable game was played than that which is now
being carried on by the railway financiers of Great
Britain ; and when we hear a clamour for a repeal
of our currency laws at the cost of national credit,
to sustain for a little while longer the delusion now
threatened with collapse, let us not blink the plain
fact, that even as regards repudiation itself there must
be many thousands amongst us to whom there would
be something far more shocking in its name than in
its reality.—Times.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have
a good supply of wheat ; yet a great part of it being
disposed of last week, causes only a moderate show of
samples, and having a fair demand, an improvement of
2s. to 3s. per quarter is effected. Barley is ready sale
at is. to 2s. advance. Oats and shelling in slow request
on rather lower terms. Beans Is. per qr. dearer. No
change in other articles.—Leeds Mercury.
A FLATTERING EXCEPTION.—An eccentric farmer,
who was recently at a tea-table, where there were seve-
ral fine girls sipping their twankay, was asked what he
thought of a certain lady who was then absent. " Oh,"
replied he, " she is the plainest woman I ever saw in my
lite, the present company excepted !"
EXTRAORDINARY FRAUDS.—Great excitement has
prevailed in Sunderland since Monday last, in conse-
quence of the discovery that Mr. Charles Isaac Humble,
recently a member of the firm of Milbourn and Humble,
sharebrokers, had decamped, having committed several
forgeries of a most daring character. It is of course,
impossible at present to learn with precise accuracy all
the details : but the statement we now give we have no
doubt will be found pretty correct. His forgeries have
been committed chiefly upon his relatives and family
connexions Humble, a maiden lady (his aunt)
the Re♦ Philip Kearney, Catholic priest, and Mr. Mat-
thew Kearney, wine and spirit merchant. Bills purport-
ing to be accepted by one or other of these parties—the
signatures to the acceptances being of courso forged—
have
been paid[away by Humble to the extent of not less
than 10,0001. Of this forged paper, Mr. Barnes, of Jar-
row, received about 4,000/. in payment for ships sold by
him to Humble ; and three bills of 1,000/, each, all for-
genes, have been discounted by parties in Sunderland.
The Sunderland Joint-stock Bank, it is understood,
holds one of these, Mr. Barnabas Sharp another, and the
thirdlis held jointly between Mr. W. White and Mr. R.
T. Wilkinson, solicitors. Mr. Thomas Burn, solicitor,
is also a loser to a considerable extent, by discounting
some of the forged paper. There is too much reason to
fear that Humble, who is quite a young man, had got
some unfortunate connexions with swindlers at a distance,
who were victimising him and goading him to his ruin.
A warrant was on Tuesday granted for Humble's appre•.
hension, but there is not much probability of his being
caught, as he has been gone about a week. It is srip-
posed he has sailed for Monte Video.—Durham Chro-
nicle.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 8.)

SUGAR.—To-day importers of Raw Sugar experienced
some difficulty in preventing prices from further de-
clining, although the quantity on offer was not quite so
large, and there being several inquiries from both the
home trade and exporters : on the part of merchants
there was, however, less inclination generally to press
sales. The demand for West India Muscovado was good
for all purposes, and the sales amounted to 550 hhds
and tierces, but the reduced rates noticed in our former
report were taken. The total sales for the week art:
2,280 hhds and trcs. The appearance of the Sugar
market was, on the whole, rather better to-day than in
the early part of the week.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods met with little at-
tention from the home trade, and prices continue to give
way, brown grocery Lumps selling at 535, and standard
Lumps at 53s 6d to 545. In the value of Bonded
Crushed Sugar there is no variation; but few buyers are
to be met with.

TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY.—The reaso7us of the
delay in placing the whole of the North and South
passenger traffic upon this line, instead of taking it
round by Birmingham, as at present, is the , non-comple-
tion of the Post-office arrangements. Ir reply to ap
plications from the company, the Post-of dice authorities
have informed Captain Huish that it 1,4' Al not be practi-
cable to place the mails on the Trent Valley Railway
by the Ist of November ; and that altb ough the Post-
office may be ready by the middle of N ovember, still no
promise that arrangements will be cerimpleted even by
that time can be given. It will be s ten, therefore, that
the public have no ground for the ,rging the company
with delay, as they are desirous of giving them the full
benefit of the saving of time and dist 3r ice effected by the
Trent Valley line at as early a period as possible.—
Leeds Mercury.
The Gazette des Tribunaux pub fishes a letter, ad-
dressed to it by M. Vidocq
.in wh i.ch he states that,.
although Madame Vidocq did tak ei twenty drops of
laudanum in a glass of water to li 1111 the severe pains
from which she had long been sufi ering, yet the phy-
sicians who were in attendance up, ,m her had unani-
mously declared that the quantity I 'bus taken, though
larger than they had prescribed, co' aid not have has-
tened her death, and that the state in which she was
rendered it impossible for her to have survived any
longer. The commissary of polio 1, called in to verify
her death, made a report to the Pr ocureur du Roi, to
the effect that she had not committt 41 suicide, counter..
signed by five physicians, and the / ?rocureur thereupon
immediately granted his warrant fo ; her interment,

MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon the quantity submitted
to public competition amounted to 7,581 bags of Mau-
ritius; nearly the whole found buyers, and former rates
were supported for brown and inferior yellow and grey,
but middling to fine yellow went at Gd per cwt lower;
low yellow sold at 34s 6d to 35s 6d, middling 36s to
36s 6d, good 37a to 38s 6d, fine 39s Gd to 425, fine
brown 345, good 335, washed 33s to 38s, and syrupy 28s
to 39s 6d per cwt. _ _

EAST hiniA.—There has been little desire evinced to
operate in inferior kinds of Madras although there are
sellers at very low rates. Of 4,654 bags submitted to
public competition a part only sold, and at a reductios on
former rates of Is to 2s. The better qualities, hon',:
ever 2 met with attention, and 4,654 bags of strong whites
were all sold at public sale, and fetched nearly former rates.
Privately a limited amount of business has been con-
mid.

treaty, and at auction 47 puns of Barbadoes were taken
in at 20s for good quality.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was operated
in with caution by private treaty, and 34s to 34s 6d ac-
cepted for good ordinary. Of Plantation 670 bags at
auction were sold at a fall on former rates of Is to 2,

and 2,000 robins Malabar were nearly all taken in at
2id for half heavy.

tion, and on the part of merchants there was a desire to

ware only in part sold at a fall on former rates of• Is to
Is 6d. Privately there are sellers of sound :Cargo
Bengal at 9s for net cash.
Fnurr.—Since this day week a greater desire has
been evinced on the part of importers of new Valencia
Raisins to sell, but having reduced the price to 44s per
cwt for first quality occasioned the demand to be
good ; an impression, however, exists that quotations
will further recede, as arrivals will be heavy this
season, and the bulk is likely to be of fine quality.
New Turkey pulled Figs are not much required.
The importation is likely to be good this year; Mus-
catel Raisins are offered upon lower terms, but the busi-
ness concluded has been to a limited extent only at from
50s to 70s; the supply will be good this season. Sul-
tanas move off slowly at 68s to 70s. The market is firm
for Currants, although there will be a plentiful supply;
a good demand exists at 38s to 40s for old Zante and
Cephalonia, and at 39s to 40s for Patras.
CoCKINEAL.—This afternoon there was no improve.
went in the demand for Cochineal. At public sale 42
bags Honduras silvers were taken in at 4s 8d to 5s ; 12
bags Black sold at 6s to 6s 9d, and 14 bags Lima at
4s 6d to 5s 9d for low to fine silvery black, which are
full rates.

SPinrrs.—ln the value of Janiaica Rum there is little
variation to make known, but on the part of exporters
or the home trade little desire has been evinced to
operate, and the tendency of prices is downwards.
Demerara met with little attention, notwithstanding the
late considerable fall in the value, and only 50 puns
have been sold this week. In Leeward Island
the business done has been limited, except there
are sellers upon further reduced terms, Is lid
to 2s having been accepted for proof, and
Is 10d for cloudy, whilst the supply continues on the
increase. For East India the market has a dull appear-
ance, and prices keep on the decline ; Is 9d to is 10d is
the value of proof. In Havannah no sales to report, and
not more than is 7d can be obtained for proof. There are
sellers of Brandy on low terms, but few buyers met with,
either for home use or exportation. Geneva sells slowly
at 2s 8d for exportation sort, and at 3s 2d to 3s 6d for
fine home consumption kind. For British Corn Spirits
the market is quiet at lOs 6d proof. Gin is only in
moderate demand; 17 per cent under proof at 9s Bd, and
22 under 9s 2d per gallon.
INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India commences
on Tuesday, and the quantity declared is extensive,
amounting to 17,620 chests. Although there are sellers
at a reduction on the July rates of 3d to 4d per lb., still
scarcely any business has been transacted this week
either in home trade or shipping sorts.
TEA.—The inactivity in the market for all kinds of
Black has increased, and there are sellers at a fur-
ther decline in prices, whilst there is a larger quantity
on offer. Although Congou of the lower kinds can
be obtained fd to id, and the better sorts Id to
2d per lb, under the rates that existed two weeks back,
still little disposition has been shown on the
part of the town and country trade to operate by private
treaty this week in any kind. Other kinds of black met
with a dull sale, and are offered upon rather lower terms.
Green Tea of all kinds has been purchased in with
caution, aad there are sellers at a fall on former rates
of id for common, and Id to 2d for the better kinds,
whilst there is a plentiful supply. Scented Teas are dull
of sale, and rather cheaper.
SALTPETRE.—Rough is much required by exporters
or the home trade, but in the value we have little varia-
tion to make known this week, none having been sub-
mitted to public competition; the tendency of prices,
however, is downwards. The market will be better sup-
plied shortly, and lower rates are looked for.
English Refined met with little attention, and there is a
desire to receive contracts at 32s 6d to 335. Nitrate of
Soda is dull of sale, and prices are on the decline.
OlLS.—This afternoon, at public sale 50 pipes fine
Cochin Cocoa Nut Oil went at much higher rates, and
sold at 67s to 70s 9d ; 30 tuns Southern, low to good,
241 to 261; 10 tuns Humpback 23/ 15s to 26/, which are
full rates ; 90 tuns Seal in part sold, pale at 271, straw
and yellow 24/ to 251 ss, brown 231 to 244 and boiled
1915 s to 20/, which are lower prices.
TALLow.—This afternoon at public sale 86 casks of
Australian Tallow were sold at 44s to 45s 6d for mid-
dling to good. 440 casks Taganrog Mutton 44s 3d to
46s 3d, Beef 44s to 45s 9d.

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 6.—The average price of corn for the
week ending Oct. 2 was—wheat, 26f. 44c, ; rye, 16f.
21c., being a fall of 74f. on wheat, and 25f. on rye.
The returns from the various markets indicate a
general tendency to fall, but at this time the
corn trade is slack, and very little is doing.
The Communal Council has just had its first
sitting, when the Burgomaster presented the
gold medal of the kingdom to a young man named
Maes Laureat, of the fourth class of the Royal Athe-
naeum of Brussels. The Council then proceeded to
•.the order of the day, and received the report of the
Administrative State of the town. The project of
the budget for 1848 was referred to the Finance
Committee. An interesting discussion arose
on the subject of connecting a Pensionnat
with the Athenaeum. The great utility of such
an establishment was acknowledged by all, but
the majority of the Council considered that it would
be best to defer it till the Government carried
out the plan of establishing a commercial and indus.
trial university at Brussels. This having been ac-
complished, the Pensionnat could be completely and
effectively organized. This would also be the oppor-
tunity for ameliorating the duties in the lower classes
of commerce and manufactures, and of harmonizing
them with superior courts to which they might be
preparing. The project was adjourned, by 16 against
14, for a short period.
REFUSAL OF THE POPE TO RECEIVE THE BELGIAN
AMBASSADOR.—The great interest which this fact
has excited induces us to give some extracts. from
two letters, one of which M. Leclerq has addressed
to the Independence Beige, and another to the Minister
for Foreign Affairs upon this subject.
" Some assert that there was nothing personal in the
refusal of the Holy See to receive me as the repre-
sentative of Belgium.
personal and official character of M. Marson,
the Papal Nuncio, is too reputable for the slightest
doubt to be entertained of his veracity, and I cannot
avoid taking advantage of this occasion to say, that I
consider him entirely exempt from the affront which
has been personally offered to me, and, I must add,
to my country, as I consider the Holy Father as also
exempt from it, deceived as they have been by per-.
sons, who, I wish it was in my power to say,
are not Belgians. But such is the spirit of party,
that the honour of the country is set at nought for
the gratification of indulging its hatred and its resent-
ment. I say party spirit. I do not attri.loute it to
all the men who belong to what is called the Catholic
party, for many of them are incapable of such an
action, but I speak of some among them. This dis-
graceful incident in our political career is an evidence
how far men may be carried astray when they are not
actuated by the love of truth." To the Minister for
Foreign Affairs M. Leclerq says, " When with
the approval of the King you offered me the mission
to Rome, I recognised in it a new occasion for serv-
ing my country, and I at once accepted the offer, not
having the slightest suspicion that my appointment
would not be agreeable to the Holy See. This,
however, proves to be the case ; the Apostolic Nuncio
has notified to you officially. that his Court
refuses to agree to my nomination, and that
his refusal resulted from my antecedent conduct,
which would prevent my being received with plea-
sure. It is true you asked for the dispatch which
contained that notification, and on his refusal to com-
municate it without the sanction of the Holy See, you
resolved not to take any step till you should see
whether this request was admitted or refused. But:
whatever may result, in this refusal the Nuncio has offi-
cially, as N uncio, and, in the name of the Court of Rory".
given you the notification which I have received ; an&
to say the least, it can never be believed that that-
Minister has imposed upon you. The communication
which you have asked for might easily inform you
of some details, some textual terms; but you would
learn nothing more. On the whole, it re.-
mains officially true, that my nomination is.
not agreeable to the Holy See, sad that upon per-.
sonal grounds, injurious to m.y character, and for-.
mally announced without previous inquiries as
be
to what might true or false in these motives...
Two courses remain open to me—either to•
renounce the mission, and protest against the in-.
jury done to my character, or to wait till after the-
explanations shall have been exchanged between
the Belgian Government and the Court of Rome.
When the communication demanded shall have been:
granted or refused, and my person justified from every
imputation, I shall adopt the first course. I renounce,.
without waiting for ulterior explanations from the,
Court of Rome the mission which you have offered=
me on the part of his Majesty, and protest vehe-
mently, and with all my power, against the -refuse),
so injurious to myself, which has been noti_Sed to me
in the name of that Court."
M. Leclerq goes on to exonerate completely the Pope
and the Nuncio, and attribute the refusal to the
calumny of his enemies. These letters demand
further explanation, both from the Court of Romei
and the Government of Belgium.—Flanders Mail,.
