" Sir,—lt Is now three and a half years since I was sorely-afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced rae to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in..
staidly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored rise to health, since
which I have bad no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
"MICHAEL NASINITTIL"

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic l'ills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and Justice demand tkat health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

THE COURT.—WINDSOR, FRIDAY EVENING. In
consequence of the meeting of Parliament on the 18th
instant, the visit of the Court to Osborne Rouse has
now been postponed until the end of this month ; it
being her Majesty's intention to open the new Parlia-
trent (notwithstanding the statements which have been
made to the contrary) in person, on Tuesday, the 23d
instant. Her Majesty, therefore, according to these
arrangements, will remain at the Castle until that period,
and proceed to the Isle of Wight in the course of that
week. The Court is expected to prolong its visit to
Osborne until within a few days of Christmas, when it
will return to the Castle for the holidays.

" The Irish Council having invited your attendance
at a public meeting in Dublin, on this day, and hav-
ing undertaken to communicate such suggestions as
in their power, on the subjects which appear most
urgently to call for your presence and deliberation,
beg leave to submit to your attention the subjoined
expression of their opinion on the subjects following:—
"1. As to supplies of food. That it will again be
necessary to procure and distribute supplies of food
to great numbers of our destitute population. That
although this necessity arises from a calamity to meet
which the funds of the State are properly applicable,
yet, that in default of such provision by the State, it
is the duty of the Irish people, to the full extent of
all the resources of the country, to provide against
any of our fellow-countrymen perishing from want
of the necessaries of life. That, therefore, we are
of opinion—seeing that further appeals, however just,
to the Imperial Treasury would but perpetuate the
reproach and evil of national mendicancy—that we
ought ourselves to bear the charge of supplying Go-
vernment with the means of purchasing whatever
may be requisite for preserving the lives of this people ;
and we invite the Parliament now about to assemble,
to impose a tax on Ireland for that purpose without
delay.
"That it is the duty of Government, being so sup-
plied, to provide adequate means for the prompt and
economic procuring and distributing of relief ; and
the Council earnestly hope that the public servants
who are charged with that grave responsibility will
profit by the experience of the past year, so as to
save our society alike from the loss of human life and
from the degradation of unnecessary reliance on elee-
mosynary support.
" It appears to the Irish Council that the only just
mode of imposing such a tax as they think this
country ought to be willing to undergo for these
purposes, is by such method, direct or indirect, as
shall distribute the burden rateably, and make avail-
able the means of all those who can afford to contri-
bute to the common necessity. The Council have
never ceased to protest against the injustice of charg-
ing taxation for such purposes on a particular class
of the community ; they have seen, with alarm for
the safety of the whole social fabric, the attempt, by
force of such a partial distribution of taxation, to con-
fiscate the estates of the landed gentry of Ireland, and
have heard with indignation the calumny which would
impute dishonest motives to men who only contend
against being burdened with more than their rateable
proportion of the public loss, and who, the Council
are persuaded, will never shrink from the just liabi-
lities and duties of their position.
" The Council, entertaining these views,have given
much consideration to the question of permanent as
well as temporary measures for the relief of the
poor ; and the result of the fullest consideration
which they have been able to give this subject, is their
opinion :
" That in any permanent poor-law for the country,
all the charge beyond such local rate as may be
sufficient to give individual inducement to keep down
pauperism, ought to be borne by an income or pro-
perty-tax. That the aged and infirm destitute ought
to be comfortably provided for, and relief to the able-
bodied given only in exchange for labour; and that
in addition• to an alms department for the aged and
infirm, each relief establishment ought to comprise
an industrial department and school of labour, and
ought to be made, as far as possible, to support its
own expenses.
" The Council are, however, sensible that we must
not only seek to distribute equitably the wealth which
we possess, but we must use every effort to increase
our means by the production of additional wealth ;
and seeing that the necessity of some additional stimu-
lus to agricultural improvement generally admitted,
and that a law securing compensation to tenants for their
improvements, would probably induce a large expen-
diture of capital and labour, and greatly increase the
annual return from our soil, the Council have devoted
much attention to the subject of a Tenants' Compen-
sation Bill ; and beg leave to refer to the report of
their sub-committee, suggesting the principal provi-
sions of such a measure.

" In connexion with the improved culture of the
land, the Council would draw much attention to
the eminently practical and laudable efforts of the
Royal Flax Improvement Society of BAfast, which
have led to the introduction of flax culture, on a great
and remunerative scale, into many districts where
previously that crop was unknown.
" The additional wealth which might be drawn
from our fisheries has been another subject of much
consideration ; and it is very satisfactory to the
Council to refer to the Irish Fishery Company,
which now only awaits the granting of its charter
to commence active operations.
"The Council have already made public their
vie ws respecting the best mode of encouraging re-
productive industry in manufactures, and beg leave
to refer you to their report and petition, which em-
body their views on that subject.
"Another subject which has occupied the attention
of the Council is that of currency ; and it being
their opinion that additional currency is necessary
to supply the place of those irregular mediums of ex-
change attendant on the potato system of agricul-
ture, they would beg to suggest the expediency of
taking some steps to procure an issue of Government
debentures for this country.
" The Council being desirous to take your opinion
on the several topics above indicated, have drawn up
a series of resolutions, expressive of their opinions on
each, and beg leave to submit them to your considera-
tion, in the hope and confidence that they will receive
calm examination, and, if affirmed, acquire great

" FIRST REPORT OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE
IRISH COUNCIL ON THE RELATION OF LANDLORD
AND TENANT IN IRELAND.
" Your Committee having in the first place directed
their attention to the consideration of the best method
of securing to a tenant compensation for his improve-

ments, in case of his removal, beg leave to bring
before you the following suggestions for a Tenants
Compensation Bill, as the result of their deliberations
on the subject :
"1. That an improvement' entitling to compen-
sation, should be defined to be any work executed by
a tenant which should increase the letting value of
the land.
"2. That there should be a register of improve-
ments in every barony, in which should be entered
all improvements made by a tenant for which he in-
tends to claim compensation, such register to be kept
by the clerk of the peace for the time being.
"3. That a party desirous of registering his im-
provements, should serve notice of his intention so to
do on the clerk of the peace, and on his landlord or
his agent, one month at least before the time for re•
gistering the same; specifying in such notice the im-
provement proposed to be registered, and the period
within which it was executed.
"-4. That the registration of improvements should
take place at a fixed time before some local tribunal,
such as the baronial or quarter sessions, or board of
guardians ; and that on the day appointed for regis-
tering the same the applicant should attend before
such tribunal and should prove the particulars speci-
fied in the notice.
"5. That where the improvements proposed to be
registered should be agricultural improvements,
the only matter to be inquired into before such
tribunal (except in the case of drainage and
subsoiling) should be the fact of the work having
been done by the -tenant—Ahe time when executed—
and the•services of thesiskessart notices; and if it
should appear' that the work had been done and the
necessary notices served, then the nature and descrip-
tion of the work and the time of its execution should
be entered in the register book of the clerk of the
peace, whose duty it should be, in person or by deputy,
to attend before such tribunal.
t, 6. That in the case of drainage and subsoiling,
the landlord, or his agent, should have notice pre-
vious to the execution of the work, and opportuities
of inspecting it during its progress, so as at the
time of registration to be enabled to dispute, if
necessary, the description or specification of the
work as given by the tenant; and at the time of
registration, proof of such notice having been given,
should, in addition to the other matters, be required
from the tenant.
" 7. That no tenant should be entitled to register
farm or other buildings of a permanent nature, of any
greater value than: two years Poor-law valuation of
his farm, unless he shall have had the consent in wri-
ting of his landlord to the erection or to the registra-
tion of the same—such consent to be filed with the
clerk of the peace on effecting the registration.
"8. That every tenant, on the expiration of his
tenancy, should be entitled to compensation for all
his exhausted registered improvements, such com-
pensation to be the full value of the same, in their
then state and condition.
"9. That in the event of disagreement as to the
then value of said improvements, the same should be
ascertained by arbitration—one arbitrator to be named
by the landlord, and one by the tenant,

not
agreearbitrators u topo
upon
suchselect an
umpire,um pir e
pute between them should be referred to an official
referee, whose decision should be final.
"10. That in ascertaining the existing value of the
tenant's improvements, the arbitrators should, in the
first place, estimate the cost of such improvements ;
and should then ascertain the difference between
the full improved rent of the land, and the rent for
which, without such improvements, it would then let
to a solvent tenant on a lease for 21 years; and if
said difference should amount to seven per cent., or
upwards, on the cost of said improvements, estimated
in manner aforesaid, then the arbitrators should award
to the tenant the full amount of such estimated cost;
and in case the same should be less than seven per
cent., then only a proportionate part of such estimated
cost, and the sum so awarded should be deemed the
unexhausted value of said improvements.
" 11. That where any waste should have been
committed upon any portion of the letting, the arbi-
trators should take the same into consideration, and
having ascertained the amount, set it off against the
compensation, and strike a balance.
" 12. That on the expiration of a tenancy, every
landlord should have the option of at once paying off
the amount so ascertained as due to the tenants for

improvements, or of granting to the tenant a renewal
of tii:l tenancy for 21 years, at such rent as should be
settled upon by mutual agreement between the
parties.
" 13. That in the event of disagreement as to the
rent, the same should be settled by arbitration ; such
rent to be the fair letting value of the lands in their

---
then state and condition, en the assumption of their
being, at the time of the valuation, to be let on lease
for 21 years to a solvent tenant paying a fine for the
lease, equivalent to the amount of compensation so
ascertained to be due to the former outgoing tenant.
" 14. That on such lease being granted (which the
lessee should have the power of assigning), the same
should be a satisfaction to the tenant for all claims
fur improvements made up to the time of granting
such lease.

" 15. That where a lease for twenty-one years
should not be sufficient to repay a tenant for his im-
provements (as might occur in toe case of the re-
clamation of waste land), the arbitrators should decide,
in the event of disagreement, to whit term of years
the new lease should be extended.
" 16. That in case of an eviction of a tenant's in-
terest for non-payment of rent, where the amount due
to the tenant for improvements was more than the
amount of rent due, the landlord should have the
option of paying to the tenant the value of his im-
provements, ascertained in manner before mentioned,
less by the amount due to him foi rent, taxes, and
costs ; or, in case of his refusal so to do, the tenant
should have the power of assigning bis interest to any
other person who would pay to the landlord the full
amount due to him ; provided, hovrever, that if the
tenant should not obtain a purchaser for his interest
within the time now limited for redemption, his claim
to compensation should absolutely cease.
" In addition to these suggestions, your committee
consider it advisable that in any legislation on the
subject, it should be provided, that the event of the
determination of the tenancy of a middleman, the
owner in fee, or other head landlord should make
compensation to him for such improvements as the
latter may have made compensation for to the occu-
pying tenant, such compensation, however, to be the
then existing value of such improvements; and also,
that the 21 years' compensation lease should be good
in all cases, even when the party Nrho made it had
not power to make so long a lease, unless the rever-
sioner or remainder man should pay to the occupying
tenant the value of the then unexpired term of com-
pensation lease, ascertained by a valuation.
"In laying before you this plea for a Tenants'
Compensation Act, your committee have confined
their attention to improvements to be effected after
the passing of the proposed Act, and have been ac-
tuated more by a desire of obtaining the opinion of
practical men in various districts as to the general
applicability of the plan they propose than of ex-
prcaling their own oonoluaive opinion upon the
subject.

‘i With respect to registration, they have adopted
machinery similar to that under the Planting Acts,
requiring, as under those Acts (save in the peculiar
case of buildings above a certain value), no previous
consent of the landlord, as to require such consent
would, in the opinion of your committee, in very
many cases, involve the tenant in a controversy with
his landlord, which it is desirable to avoid. In the
cases of drainage and subsoiling, however, in which
deception could be so easily practised, your com-
mittee have deemed it right to recommend that the
landlord, or his agent, should have notice previous to
the execution of the work, and opportunities of in-
specting it during its progress, in order to afford se-
curity against fraud.
"In ascertaining the value of the tenants' improve-
ments, besides the plan suggested by your commit-
tee, two other plans have been under their considera-
tion—one, that of giving no compensation to a tenant
in case he should enjoy the improvements for a
definite number of years—and the other, to give to
the tenant a certain number of years' purchase of
the increased letting value of the lands created by
the improvements. The first plan appeared to the
majority of your committee to be unjust to a tenant,
being based upon the assumption that he was not
entitled to get more than a certain rate of interest for
his capital, and that whatever he received beyond
that should be applied in liquidation of the principal ;
whereas they saw no reason why a tenant should be

The first three of the following resolutions were
also adopted ; but owing to the number and length of
the speeches made in submitting them to the meeting,
we are obliged to give them in bulk, with the names
of the proposer and seconder attached.
Proposed by Major BLACKIIALL, M.P., seconded
by Mr. FAGAN, M.P.—
" 1. That we feel it our duty to declare that in
many districts of the country the present means of
relief are inadequate to prevent the ravages of starva-
tion, and the recurrence of the horrors of the past
year.
" That we learn with satisfaction that her Ma-
jesty's 'Government has thought it proper to convene
Parliament at once, and we desire earnestly to press
upon the Legislature the necessity of devising, with •
out delay, further measures of relief for such dis-
tressed districts, and of continuing, for this year at
least, the suspension of the corn and navigation laws.
" That we are ready to submit to any taxation that
Parliament may, in its wisdom, consider necessary for
the relief of our own destitute population, deeming
the preservation of human life paramount to all other
considerations."
Proposed by Mr. S. O'BRIEN, M.P., seconded by
Mr. J. O'CONNELL, M.P.—
" 2. That while we fully recognise the claim to
subsistence of all our fellow-countrymen, we consider
it but equitable that the necessary charge for the
relief of the destitute should not be borne exclusively
by any particular class or classes, but should be
shared by the community at large.
" That with this object, we would suggest that an
income or property-tax should be imposed in Ireland,
the proceeds of which should be applied to the relief
of the destitute, in aid of local taxation ; and in the
case of absentees we deem it expedient that the per
tentage of such tax should be higher than in other
caees."
Proposed by Sir L. O'BRIEN, M.P. ; seconded by
Mr. J. BEECHER—
" 3. That we fully recognise the necessity of a
workhouse test in the case of the able-bodied poor,
but at the same time look upon the present system of
workhouse relief, whereby large masses are congre-
gated in idleness, as demoralizing and dangerous to
the well-being of society.
" That we are of opinion that any relief establish-
ment for the able-bodied poor ought to be an indus-
trial establishment, and that for this purpose a
sufficient quantity of land ought to be provided in
each union, in connexion with the workhouse, to be
laboured to the best account, in such species of hus-
bandry as should be suitable for the numbers in such
workhouse who from time to time may need employ-
ment, with proper accommodation for the exercise of
trades for the supply of such establishments with all
necessary articles capable of being produced therein,
so that such establishments should, as far as possible,
be made self-supporting institutions.
" That in our opinion, also, the guardians ought
to have power to extend such industrial relief depart-
ment according to the exigency, and that means
should be taken to provide industrial instruction in
connexion with such establishments.
" That we consider the existing machinery for ad-
ministering out-door relief, in many districts, inade-
quate to the present crisis, and requiring immediate
alteration, so as, by the establishment of electoral
relief committees, or otherwise, to secure greater local
information and control.
" 4. That during the ensuing winter every means
ought to be adopted to increase employment.
" That with this view we recommend that a selec-
tion of the unfinished public works should be com-
pleted under local supervision —that every facility
should be afforded for reproductive employment on
land, by enabling proprietors who possess available
capital to invest such capital in the improvement of
their estates, and to charge the inheritance with the
expenses of such improvement; and that encourage-
ment should be given to the construction of railways
throughout the country, by loans of money, and by
introducing more simple and effective machinery for
acquiring the land necessary for railway purposes.
"That we would also call upon our fellow-coun-
trymen to promote native industry, by giving encou-
ragement, in every case where practicable, to Irish
manufactures.
" 5. That the loss of the potato crop, in addition to
the loss of food which it has occasion. d, has deranged
Considerably the currency of the country, inasmuch
as in most parts of Ireland it formed the labour cur-
rency of the farmer.
"That to supply the deficiency of currency now
extsring, uul _ • , -
completion of the unfinished works, the facilitating
reproductive employment on the land, and the pro-
motion of railway enterprise in Ireland, we recom-
mend the issue by Government of at least 2,000,000
of Treasury notes (receivable in payment of taxes),
or of debentures guaranteed by Government, upon
which the banks of issue should be authorised to
issue notes—such notes or debentures to be laid out
on the works-above mentioned, and to be called in and
paid off within a given time, on repayment by the
county, party, or company, to whom they should be
advanced.

" 6. That further to stimulate employment and
encourage the investment of capital upon land, we
deem it expedient that such alterations should be
forthwith made in the law of landlord and tenant as
shall secure to the tenant the property in all improve •
ments made during his tenancy by the expenditure of
his labour or capital; and we submit to the public for
consideration the system for tenants' compensation
now laid before us by the Irish Council.
" 7. That the laws regulating the removal of the
Irish poor from England, the amendment of our grand
jury system, the question of emigration or coloniza-
tion, the improvement of our waste lands and fisheries,
the better preservation of the pudlic peace, the
affording facilities for the transfer, participation, and
exchange of landed property, and the establishment
of district model farms, are subjects that require the
immediate attention of Parliament: and we would
press upon her Majesty's Government the necessity
of introducing, at as early a period as possible, legis-
lative enactments on these subjects.
" 8. That a petition to both Houses of Parliament,
grounded on these resolutions, be prepared and for-
warded to each union for signature : and that the
Irish Council be authorised to call meetings similar
to the present during the session of Parliament if
such should be necessary, or to take such other steps
as may appear to them expedient for the carrying out
the objects of this meeting."
The second resolution on the subject of an income-
tax gave rise to a lengthened discussion for and against
such a measure. Several amendments were proposed
as to the omission of the paragraph to that effect, but
they were all lost, and the original motion was passed
by a large majority.
At four o'clock the meeting adjourned to Saturday,
when the fourth resolution will be taken up. It
would have been adjourned to Friday, but that its
proceedings might interfere with the meeting of Mr.
John O'Connell's council.

OPPOSITION TO RENTS.
Mr. Newel Barron, Chairman of the King's
County, in addressing the grand jury at the quarter
sessions of Parsonstown, alluded to the system of
opposition to the payment of rents in the district,
telling those who were engaged in it that the law
would be found too strong for them, and that they
were sure ultimately to be defeated. He referred to
the recent shocking murder of Mr. Lucas, who had
fallen a victim to the agrarian conspiracy, stating that
the ejectments brought by that gentleman were
against persons largely indebted to him for several
years' rent. Mr. Barron stated that generally the
landlords in that county were merely seeking for rent
due so far back as the years 1842, 1843, and 1844,
and in no instance had a decree been brought for rent
that had accrued due to November, 1846.

GREAT INCREASE. OF LITI(IATION.—GeneraIIy at
the quarter sessions, now in progress throughout the
country, there is an immense augmentation in civil-
bill processes, to such an extent that the receipts of
the assistant-barristers will be increased very largely.
At Kilrush, county of Clare, 10,000 processes have
been issued for that division; about a fifth part of these
will probably be pressed. The Limerick Examiner
states that three hundred ejectments have been served
in one district in that county, and that generally the
landlords are endeavouring to get up their lands from
their small tenantry.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. s.—There has been to-day an
improved feeling. Discounts, though in Liverpool
the rate continues at the high figure previously re-
ported, namely, 9 per cent., are announced as con-
siderably more easy of attainment in the metropolis;
and gradually, with a better hope than hitherto, we
witness a revival of confidence. There are important
orders for execution in the market, and, should affairs
continue to improve, somewhat of a revival in the
manufacturing districts may be anticipated, and cer-
tainly the price of cotton is extremely low Another
arrival from Callao took place this morning, but as
yet we cannot learn whether she brought any specie
of moment.
The grain market has again advanced its quota-
tions, the rates for Indian corn and meal having been
respectively enhanced since Tuesday ls. and 6d. per
barrel. As in the United States, farmers are this
year holding back supplies in anticipation of higher
rates; and possibly, should this policy continue, we
may witness in the spring renewed imports from the
overflowing granaries of America. There was a
fair attendance of the trade this morning.
The: cotton trade to-day has again been pretty
active ; 4,000 bales have been sold, chiefly to con-
sumers. Prices are unaltered.
The Stock-Exchange report shows a considerable
advance in the chief stocks. London and North-
Westerns are quoted at 152 k; Midlands, 1093-.
The Times City Article was again received by
electric telegraph from Rugby this morning, and the
intelligence of a rise in the price of Consols tended to
improve the general feeling. The letters received in
town are still free from any report of an unfavourable
cast.

Considerable anxiety is now becoming apparent in
regard to the meeting to-morrow morning of the
Royal Bank proprietors ; and, naturally enough,
rumour is again busy with the affairs of that concern.
Amongst other statements is one to the effect that a
deputation now in London has every prospect of com-
pleting an arrangement which shall enable the bank
to re-open its doors on Monday next; that the sum
mentioned is 600,000/. ; and that ultimately the bank
will open an account with the Bank of England, as is
the case with other establishments here. These are
mentioned here simply as rumours. The best feeling
is apparent towards the bank, and there can be little
question that it will to-morrow be determined that it
shall resume operations.
The latest letters received from the Baltic ports
inform us that the embarrassments experienced here
were reacting there with great effect. Great depres-
sion existed.
From Monte Video we have letters this morning to
the 28th of August. Exchange ruled at 40d.; bills
scarce. A large importation of specie had tended to
keep exchange low. A rumour was current that
Rosas intended to close the ports, but it was thought
this measure would not he adopted unless Urquiza
took the same step.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 2.—At the Bourse of Amster-
dam on the Ist of November the Bank of the Nether-
lands raised the course of exchange 1 per cent., whieb
is thus advanced from 4 to
~5 Berm"tett. on bills at
l_ao
sight, from 41 to 51 per cent. fur loans on deposits in
the public funds, and 5 to 6 per cent. for loans on
deposits of merchandise. The Dutch Funds, in con-
sequence of the ;decision cf the bank, closed lower.
Transactions in Integrals were very animated, a
movement which was occasioned especially by the
liquidations which took place. The shares of the
Society of Commerce were offered at a reduced rate.
The Spanish Funds did not maintain the favourable
state of the preceding evening, in consequence of the
state of Ardouin's, and of the Three per Cents., which
were affected by reason of the liquidations. Almost
all the other foreign funds were equally low.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 29.—1 n this day's liquidation
for the end of October the funds in Austrian Two-
and-a-Half per Cent. Metallics, and Three per Cents.,
in lands, and integrals, as well as all kinds of railway
shares, were better, and more business was done, all
other kinds of funds remaining high, with very little
business, from the high state of the London Consols.
After the Exchange the Three per Cent. Spanish were
more in demand, and there were reports of more fa-
vourable advices from Paris.

OCT. 30.—The courso of the exchange, of every
species of funds, and railway shares, did not gain to-
day, notwithstanding the improved condition of the
London market. Austrian shares were flatter, and
remain, on the whole, very dull.
Nov. I.—Our advices from London are considered
so far favourable by the mercantile world, because, by
the resolution of Government empowering the Bank,
on its responsibility, to deviate from Sir R. Peel's Bill
of 1840, it has opposed a mighty barrier to the present
crisis. This resolution is also considered an indica-

. -
Lion that in the approaching session of Parliament
the changes so ardently wished for in that Bill,
touching the interests of our exchange, may be
brought forward. The preliminary conferences
with Sir R. Peel may, probably, have had for their
object the securing of himself and party to those
measures. Even if the English mercantile crisis
has had hitherto no direct influence on the conti-

nent, and Germany especially has remained unaffected
by the failure there, yet the state of depression in
Erfgland has, at all events, a negative influence upon
us, inasmuch as it 'checks speculation in bills of the
state, and induces the holders of ready money to keep
it by them. Here in Frankfort, the rate of discount,
at sight, is 4/ to 5 ; for prolongations from 5 to 5f
per cent. ; but there could not be said to be any actual
want of money. In the next few months, when the
discontinuance of the public works will accumulate
much ready money, the state of the money-market
will probably be yet more favourable, :and we must
again report that, as soon as better reports from abroad
shall restore confidence at home, trade will take,a now

and permanent progress.
HAMBURGH, Noy. 2.—Business of every kind was
exceedingly flat on 'Change to-day. London fell
per cent., and was not in demand. Discount at 6
per cent. In some of the railway shares there was an
increased activity,:and there was nothing duing in the
funds.

STETTIN, OCT. 29.—Our supplies of wheat are
only sufficient to meet the wants of the city and
neighbourhood. Rye had a tendency to rise lately
in consequence of the old standing bargains for de-
livery in this month, but our arrivals yesterday were
so large from various places that there has been a
decided fall.

BRESLAU, OCT. 30.—Business in the wool trade
has not been so slack since last market day, for,
although large quantities were sold
more depressed than the ,prices are even
ODESSA, OCT. y were at this time.
15.—The continued unfavourable
reports from England have a lowering effect upon the
state of trade here, so that both the prices of wheat
and of freights have fallen. Wheat is 265. 3d. to34s.
6d. per quarter, according to quality. Rye keeps its
price, and as in this article our harvest has been un-
favourable, we shall not have much for exportation.
It is marked at 18s. to 21s. per quarter. Freights to
England are 10s. 9d. to 12s. per quarter.
