THE SPORTSMAN'S THREE -\\TtST-1-17S
The sportsman has wishes—we name them—they're three,
With the truth of this version you all will agree :
Now September's set in, most nobly we'll strive,
To keep the old custom of shooting alive.
The game is abundant, the weather is clear,
Bright Phoebus commands all her guess to appear;
lint sportsman, before you depart for the fun,
Obtain your three wishes—your Coat, Dog, and Gan,
The first in the field L. lIYAM now stands,
For his " P letot Shooting.coat," known in all lands ;
Enveloped in these, it soon will he found,
That the wind and the rain fall powerless around.
For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got,
Just wear one—you von wil be reckoned a " shot."
Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well,
One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel
For that is the cause why the journals express
Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress.
Fulfil then your wishes—your pleasures complete,

CRUELTY IN WORKHOUSE.
BOLTON, OCT. 4.—For some days past the greatest
excitement has prevailed in this town, in consequence
of a rumour which has been pretty generally cir-
culated, that a man,. named John Rothwell, an
inmate of the workhouse, had been flogged to death
by one of the male nurses. The circumstance com-
ing to the knowledge of Mr. Taylor, the borough
coroner, he issued his warrant for holding an inquest
on the body, when evidence was adduced.
James Rostom deposed that he was an inmate of
the borough workhouse. He knew the deceased John
Rothwell; he was twenty• seven years old. Witness
remembered the deceased going into the hospital on
Thursday week. He was then afflicted with dysen-
tery and was attended by Mr. Sharp. The nurse,
named Henry Bicknell, was in the habit of heating
the inmates with a whip. Witness remembered him
striking the deceased about a week ago. Bicknell
asked deceased to go to bed, but he said he would not.
Bicknell said if he did not go he would make him,
and he fetched the whip, which he used about the de-
ceased's legs; after which he got hold of the small
end, and laid the butt en I about deceased's ribs and
back. Deceased had only his shirt on at the time ;
he got into bed and cried out " murder," upon which
Bicknell got hold of a sheet and tied it over his
Mouth, to prevent him from being heard. On the
following morning witness observed that thskskin
was knocked off from deceased's shoulder blade, and
the place looked much inflamed.
By the CORONER—He saw Bicknell beat deceased
again on Sunday, the 26th. It was between two
and three o'clock in the morning. Bicknell wanted
deceased to get into bed, but he would not, where-
upon he struck deceased several times over the tem-
ples, which caused him to fall on the floor. He was
assisted up again by witness. There was no cause
for Bicknell to strike the deceased. When Bicknell
brought in the whip, he said he had bought it on
purpose for them. Witness was afraid to inform the
Governor of Bicknell's conduct for fear he should
treat him in the same way. He remembered a female
nurse inquiring about the wounds upon deceased,
and also how he got a black eye. Witness said he
had fallen against a bedpost. He knew he was telling
a falsehood, but he durst not say to the contrary, for
fear of Bicknell.

Several other paupers were examined, all of whom
corroborated the above testimony.

Mr. Sharp, the surgeon, said he saw deceased on
Tuesday week. He ordered him to be removed to
the hospital. The complaint was dysentery. He
also appeared to be a man of imbecile mind. Wit-
ness attended him from the time of his removal. lie
observed a few days before his death a skin wound a
little below the cheek bone, which was attended with
a black eye. Witness asked what had caused it, and
was told that it was produced by deceased falling
when he got out in the night. Witness had made a
post mortem examination; he considered the cause of
death was dysentery, and he considered the conduct
of the nurse towards the deceased was most brutal.
I here certainly was not any occasion to use violence
to the deceased.

The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the
jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased died
from dysentery, but they cannot separate without ex-
pressing their abhorrence of the brutal and inhuman
conduct of Bicknell, and they desired that he should
at once be removed from the situation."

ATTEMPTED SALE OF THE SURREY AND SUSSEX

ROADS.—THE EFFECT OF RAlLWAYS.—Yesterday, at
one o'clock, a general meeting of the trustees of the
Surrey and Sussex roads, Mr. Shadbolt in the chair,
was held at the Sessions-house, Newington, for the put..
pose of letting the tolls in the counties of Surrey and
Sussex, arising from the gates and bars at Newington,
Camberwell, Kennington, Vauxhall, Kingston, Croydon,
East Grinstead, &c., which were put up at the sum of
32,2501., for which they were let the previous year. The
lease of them was to be from the 31st December next
for twelve months. Much interest was excited on this
occasion, as, in consequence of the extension of the line
of the South-Western Railway from Nine Elms to the
York-roe 1, which it is expected will be open in six
months, and which will incur a loss of revenue of
about 6,0001. per annum, it was thought that a reduc-
tion would be proposed to that amount. Upon the
conditions of sale being read, one of which was " that
in case the South- Western Railway should open their
intended line during the year 1848, the lessee should
be at liberty to vacate his lease by
,giving thirty-five
days' notice of his intention to do so." Mr. T. Bewley
said that the trustees had no power to introduce a con-
dition which was not specified in the notice of sale.
The chairman maintained that the trustees had the
power to introduce the condition. Mr. Bewley observed
that he differed with the dictum of the chairman,
though he would bow to his decision. The tolls were
then put up, but there was no offer for them, and it
was stated in the course of the sale, that during the
last four weeks there had been a falling off of 1001.
per week, in consequence of the railways south of the
Thames.

SCENERY ABOUT ANNE HATHAWAY'S COTTAGE.--
The scenery about the place is much the same as it must
have been a couple of centuries past. The weird hollows,
the deep paths through the orchard, the sunken lanes,
the rivulet singing through the sedge grass under the
drooping foliage that hides it from the light, are all of
the same character as of old, and appear to have suffered
hardly any change to make way for modemodernimprove-
ments. As you walk through these primitive haunts,
you cannot help fancying how often Shakapere must
have walked there, looking into the eyes of Anne
Hathaway, and speculating dimly on the high destiny of
which he must have had conscious glimpses ill bis

cases of cigars; 40 seroris of cochineal, and 49 pack-
ages of sundries. She has encountered very severe
weather on her homeward voyage since the 27th
ult., which, in a. great measure, accounts for her non-
arrival on Tuesday or Wednesday. She left her
Majesty's ship Persian at Vera Cruz, and two French
and three American corvettes; her Majesty's survey-
ing ships Thunder and Lark, at Bermuda, and also
the Growler steamer, from the coast of Africa.
The Royal Mail packet Medway left Havannah,
Sept. 9, for Vera Cruz. The Trent was at Grenada,
bound for Jamak•L; the 'Conway left Grenada, Sept.
9, for Trinidad ; the Reindeer left Barbadoes, Sept. 8,
for Demerara; the Clyde was at Jamaica, and would
leave for England on the 23d of September; the
Eagle at St. Thomas's, the 14th, and the Dee at
Bermuda, when the Teviot left.
Mr. Edwards, Ordnance storekeeper, died on board
the Royal Mail steam-packet Eagle, and was buried
at St. Thomas's, with military honours; and Mr. C.
Beverley, Deputy-Assistant Commissary-General,
died on board the Teviot, sth of October, and was
buried at sea. Lieutenant Aliller, R.N., late Ad-
'miralty agent of the Great Western, died at the
hospital, Havannah, August 11.
We have received our usual files of papers by the
Teviot, and learn from them that the Chamber of
Commerce, Jamaica, had been organizing a combined
movement in aid of the West India Colonies, and by
circular, dated Sept. 8, dispatched per Teviot to
Barbadoes, Trinidad, Antigua, St. Vincent, and De-
merara, and by other means to other places, a meet-
ing of two delegates from each 'West India Isle and
British Guinea had been convened, to take place at
St. Thomas's, then and there to consider the evils to
which the British planter was exposed by the effects
of free trade on colonial productions. We publish the
circular from the Jamaica Dispatch of the Bth ult.:—
"Chamber of Commerce, Kingston, Jamaica,
Sept. 8, 1847.
" Sir,—lt has appeared advisable to this Chamber
that, in the present alarming condition of West India
property under the unequal competition to which the
British planter has been exposed by the application of
free trade to colonial productions, some combined de-
monstration should be made by all the West India
colonies, in the hope that by an energetic and unani-
mous appeal to the justice of the British people the
ruin which seems impending may be averted.
"So far as Jamaica is concerned, it is clear that
such a competition as that to which she is now ex-
posed must, at a very early period, extinguish sugar
cultivation altogether; and this Chamber cannot
doubt that most of th other West India colonies
must equally with herself sink under so unjust a
system.

" Under these circumstances it is proposed by this
Chamber that a convocation of delegates from each of
the West India islands, as well as from British Guiana,
should assemble, at such an early day as may be
agreed on, at the island of St. Thomas, in order to re-
*olve on such a combined movement in support of the
declining interests of th,,se important colonies as may
carry with it all the weight and importance due to the
,)roperty and intelltgetce of her Majesty's subjects in
the West Indies.
"It is suggested that meetings with this view
should be held throughout the several islands, and
two delegates selected from each, for the purpose above
mentioned, and I am directed to request that the
Chamber may be made acquainted at as early a period
as possible with the wishes of your colony upon this
Aubject.—l have the honour to he, Sir, your most
obedient humble servant,
" WILLIAM GIROD, Secretary."
The following from the Jamaica Dispatch is very
satisfactory as regards the weather, and other accounts
confirm the favourable change :
" WEATHER IN ST. MARY'S.—We are glad to
learn that copious showers have lately fallen in the
above parish, which had suffered so severely from a
drought of long continuance, whereby the estates had
been considerably retarded, not only in the manufac-
ture of produce, from want of water to supply the
mills and engines, but in establishing a growing field.
Canes already fit for the bill could not be subjected to
that process in consequence of the loss of tops it would
have involved. But since the rains, to all appearance,
set in, the estates have been active in every depart-
ment."

The Trinidad Standard of the 4th ult. gives the
following account of the position of that island :--
" During the month we have had a continuance of
the most seasonable weather. The pluviometer at our
office indicates the depth of rain fallen from August
5h to date as having been 8 inches 3 .10ths. It will
be seen by this that we have had an abundance of
rain. The heat during the earlier part of the month
especially has been unusually great, and a catarrhal
epidemic has prevailed to a great extent, assuming in
the cases of children attacked by it the form of hoop-
ing cough. In other respects, we believe, the island
is generally healthy. On the 21st we were visited, at
twenty minutes past one o'clock, A.m., with a shock
of earthquake, which wa learn from our intercolonial
files was also felt at Grenada. The produce shipped
to date has been as follows :—Sugar-24,853 hhds.,
1,838 tierces, 5,676 barrels. Molasses-9,903 puns.,
Coffee-102,5411b. Cotton-41 sevens; and 341 tierces. Rum__3B9 181,5611 b.
num-
ber of immigrants arrived has been—men, 1,652 ;
el the
women, 583; children, 303 ; making a total of 2,538
from the Ist of January. Our arrivals this month
have been rather scanty.
"The steamer Growler, the vessel set apart by her
Alajesty's Government for immigration purposes,
arrived here on her way back from Demerara, where
she carried four hundred and fifty-nine liberated
Africans, taken from captured slavers. Her next trip
will be for the benefit of this colony. It is to be hoped
that this arrangement may prove completely success-
ful, and that, in consequence, we may have a larger
accession to our labouring population of effective and
permanently resident labourers."
The ordinance which had passed fixing is. per
gallon on all rum made for local consumption was
most unpopular, and public meetings were being held
to obtain a removal of the restriction.
The drought continued at Barbadoes and Grenada.

THE WAR IN MEXICO.
We have received from a correspondent the follow-
ng account of the late actions before Mexico:—
The United States army, under General Scott, be-
gan leaving Puebla on the 17th of August. They
arrived at Azatla on the 14th, but finding the Penon
too strong to take without considerable loss, they re-
treated to Chalco, and went round by Icochirnielo to
San Augustin. This road was considered so imprac-
ticable by the Mexicans that they entirely neglected
to defend it, but the American Pioneers, seem to be
admirable, and the army rather unexpebledly made
their appearance at San Augustin on the 17th. Still
finding strong fortifications at San Antonio and Chu-
rubusco, which they thought better to attack on the
flank, they made an artillery road over the Pedregal
towards San Angel, where they met General Valencia
with 5,000 men and 20 guns, who endeavoured to
prevent their passage by that point. Deeming it more
advisable not to leave him behind them, they drove
him, upon the evening of the 19th towards the
Magdelana, where he took up an excellent position.
In the night, however, they completely surrounded
him with only 3,000 men, and at break of day
attacked and dispersed his division at the point of
the bayonet, without the assistance of a single gun,
takingall his pieces. General Valencia escaped to Tolu-
ca, where he is now trying to get up a revolution against
Santa Anna, upon whom he throws the blame of his
defeat, a proceding which may somewhat impede ne-
gotiations. The same American division, with rein-
forcements, then proceeded to attack Churubusco and
San Antonio on the flank. Here they met with a
more obstinate resistance, principally from a body of
about 100 American deserters, who had been enrolled
by the Mexicans, who pointed the guns beautifully,
and fought like devils. After three hours' hard
fighting, the Americans gained a complete victory,
took 3,000 prisoners, among whom were seven general
officers, and 20 pieces of cannon. Their way was now
open to Mexico, with the exception of some slight
works at the Garitas. However, the same evening Santa
Anna sent a message to Scott, saying that if he would
agree not to come into the city, he would listen to
propositions of peace. General Scott, with a prudence
and moderation for which he deserves the greatest
credit, and by which he created almost a mutiny in
his army, agreed to this, saying that he should take
up his quarters nearer the city, which he did
next day at Tacabuya. An armistice has since been
signed, and commissioners have been appointed to meet
Mr. Trist at a small village, ltzcapusalco, about a
league from Mexico ; they are Jose J. Herrera, Mo-
ray Vilhunee, Bernardo Orieto, and Atristain, all men
inclined for peace; but there are too many of them.
Several deputies declare that they will not meet here,
but at Queretaro. Santa Anna's influence seems to
he on the wane. General Paredes landed from the
Teviot on the 14th of August, and, in consequence of
the American authorities having done away with all
the former Mexican customs of sisiting ships on their
arrival, he passed through the city, and escaped into
the country with perfect ease. While the Teviot was
absent at Tampico, the Governor of Vera Cruz, find-
ing that he was likely to get into a serious scrape
through his negligence, endeavoured to lay blame
upon the captain of the steamer, and forbade h's land-
ing on his return from Tampico, although no other
obstacle was put to the communication with the shore.
It was somewhat laughable that the captain was the
only person in the ship who was unable to land, hav-
ing broken his leg some time previously. It did not
appear that General Paredes' arrival was reported in
Mexico when the steamer left Vera Cruz, but it was
stated that he had reached Guadalaxara. It was
thought that General Valencia would join him, and
great fears were entertained that his arrival would
seriously embarrass the negotiations for peace.
Great sickness prevailed among the American
troops, both at Tampico and Vera Cruz, as well as on
board !heir men-of-war, though both these places
were otherwise very healthy.

The Sun of Anahuac, of Sept. 1, an American
paper, published at Vera Cruz, gives the following
account of the terms of the armistice, preceded by
some characteristic observations of its own :
" Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah !—Great Victory !-
32,000 Mexicans defeated by 7,000 Americans—Our
army has again covered itself with glory. The
English courier has just arrived, and the news—
news we say—is that General Santa Anna and
30,000 men have been defeated, whipped, and com-
pletely routed. Our troops engaged those of the
enemy about three miles from the capital of Mexico,
where they were strongly entrenched. After a com-
bat of two hours they (the enemy) were put to flight.
The enemy's forces amounted to 32,000, and our
forces to 7,000. Three more cheers for the American
army. Huzzah ! Huzzah! Huzzah !
" The enemy's 32,000 men were driven to the gates
of the city of Mexico, by our 7,000 men, at the point
of the bayonet.
" Four commissioners were sent to General Scott
from the city of Mexico.
" The news came by the English Courier, and
therefore we suppose that no one would dare to con-
tradict, which says all we have said. This letter is
dated Tacubaya, three miles from Mexico, Aug. 26.
" N.B. We have just seen in the Diario del Go-
bierno that an armistice of 48 hours was granted by
General Scott.

" We publish to-day a second edition of our paper
of yesterday, in order to give our readers the articles
of the armistice which was granted by General Scott.
'We copy all the documents which we found in the
Diario del Gobierno. Some of the communications
are in the Spanish language. The want of time kept
us from translating them, as the steamer leaves this
morning for New Orleans. They will be understood.
We will issue an extra, if possible, before the Mary
Kingsland leaves with Santa Anna's manifesto."
" The undersigned, appointed respectively, the
three first by Major-General Winfield Scott, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States,
and the two last by his Excellency D. Antonio Lopez
de Santa Anna, President of the Mexican Republic,
and Commander-in-Chief 'of its armies, met with
full powers, which were duly verified in the village of
Tacubaya, on the 22d of August, 1847, to enter into
an armistice for the purpose of giving the Mexican
Government an opportunity of receiving propositions
of peace from the Commissioner appointed by. the
President of the United States, and now with the
American army, when the following articles were
agreed upon:--
" Art. 1. Hostilities shall instantly and absolutely
cease between the armies of the United States of
America and the United Mexican States within 30
leagues of the capital of the latter States, to allow
time to the Commissioner appointed by the United
States, and the Commissioner to be appointed by the
Mexican Republic, to negotiate.
" 2. This armistice shall continue as long as the
Commissioners of the two Governments may be en-
gaged on negotiations, or until the commander of
either of the said armies shall give formal notice to
the other of the cessation of the armistice, and for
forty-eight hours after such notice.
" 3. In the mean time neither army shall, within 30
leagues of the city of Mexico, commence any new
fortification or military work of offence or defence,
or do anything to enlarge or strengthen any existing
work or fortification of that character within the said
limits.

---
" 4. Neither army shall be reinforced within the
same. Any reinforcements in troops or munitions of
war, other than subsistence now approaching either
army, shall be stopped at the distance of 28 leagues
from the cit of Mexico,

"5. Neither army, nor any detachment from it,
shall advance beyond the line it at present occupies.
" 6. Neither army, nor any detachment or indivi-
dual of either, shall pass the neutral limits established
by the last article, except under flags of truce bearing
the correspondence between the two armies, or on the
business authorised by the next article ; and indivi-
duals of either army who may chance to straggle
within the neutral limits shall by the opposite party
be kindly warned off or sent back to their own armies
under flags of truce.
" 7. The American army shall not by violence
obstruct the passage, from the open country into the
city of Mexico, of the ordinary supplies of food ne-
cessary to the consumption of its inhabitants, or the
Mexican army within the city; nor shall the Mexican
authorities, civil or military, do any act to obstruct
the passage of supplies from the city, or the country,
needed by the American army.
"8. All American prisoners of war remaining in
the hands of the Mexican army, and not heretofore
exchanged, shall immediately, or as soon as practicable,
be restored to the American, army against a like
number, having regard to rank, of Mexican prisoners
captured by the American army.
"9. All American citizens who were established
in the city of Mexico prior to the existing war, and
who have since been expelled from that city, shall be
allowed to return to their respective business or fami-
lies therein, without delay or molestation.
"10. The better to enable the belligerent armies
to execute these articles, and to favour the great object
of peace, it is further agreed between the parties, that
any courier with dispatches that either army shall
desire to send along the line from the city of
Mexico, or its vicinity, to and from Vera Cruz,
shall receive a safe conduct from the commander of
the opposing army.
"11. The administration of justice between
Mexicans according to the general and stated consti-
tutions and laws, by the local authorities of the towns
and places occupied by the American forces, shall not
be obstructed in any manner.
"12. Persons and property shall be respected in the
towns and places occupied by the American forces.
No person shall be molested in the exercise of his pro-
fession ; nor shall the services of any one be required
without his consent. In all cases where services are
voluntarily rendered a just price shall be paid, and
trade remain unmolested.
" 13. Those wounded prisoners, who may desire
to remove to some more convenient place for the pur-
pose of being cured of their wounds shall be allowed
to do so without molestation, they still remaining pri
soners.

" 14. Those Mexican Medical officers who may wish
to attend the wounded, shall have the privilege of
doing so if their services be required.
" 15. For the more perfect execution of this agree-
ment, two Commissioners shall be appointed, one by
each party, who in case of disagreement shall appoint
a third.

" 16. This convention shall have no force or effect
unless approved by their Excellencies the Comman-
ders respectively of the two armies, within twenty-
four hours, reckoning from six o'clock of the 23d day
if August, 1847.

REVIEW OF THE JAMAICA MARKETS.
(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
The business of the past fortnight has not been
marked with any new feature ; indeed, there has not
been any change in the state of our market since the
period of our last issue. Some trifling improvement
has occurred in the price of a few articles, but it is to
be attributed rather to their scarcity than to the re-
vival of a speculative demand. Purchases continue
to be made merely for immediaatrekceotnshuams consumption,
eewnhriele-
the pressure on the money m
lieved in the slightest degree.
Flour—The market for this article has sligiAtly
improved, the reduced stock, and the intelli.gence
from America of an advance in prices there having

last issue, was one of 1,000 barrels Baltimore, at 36s
cash. New Orleans is moved, with difficulty, at
325., the quality being indifferent. A parcel of 170
barrels old lard flour has changed hands at 30s per
barrel. There arrived yestereiay (Sunday). 976
barrels from New Orleans, e.nd 300 barrels from
Philadelphia ; no sales, howP..ver, have as yet been
effected.

Meal—The 800 barrel'., New Orleans referred to
in our last have been parted wit at 14s. to 14s. 6d.
Upwards of 900 barrels have arrived from Baltimore,
220 of which havinfei been damaged were disposed of
at 12s. 6d. per barrel, The remainder has, been

tt vet , the holders being unwilling to subh 11,!t the
current rates. The consumption is active, buy the
stock is still enormous.
Rice-Caroline is very scarce, and the supply of
East India of all descriptions extremely moderate
The latter may b. quoted at 20s. to 245. per 100113.,
according to quality.
Bread-One hundred barrels each Baltimore and
New York Pilot have been sold at 205., and about the
same quantity of of Watson's at the same rate. Navy
and crackers are wanted. A vessel fram Philadelphia
has brought upwards of 400 barrels, principally of
Pilot.
Butter-An arrival of 150 firkins from Cork took
place immediately after our last issue, for which 14d.
per pound was obtained in parcels. Another parcel
of 700 firkins has just come in, but we have not as
yet heard of any operations therein. The sales in
Halifax had been 120 kegs at 12d. to 12d., and 70
firkins and 60 kegs at 120. per pound. 300 kegs
have since come in from Philadelphia.
Lard-The transactions in this article have been
100 firkins Irish, at 11d., 200 kegs, Baltimore, in a
soft state, at Bd., and 90 kegs, rather better, but not
prime, at 10d. Some parcels of American, in jars,
have realised 110. per pound. 600 kegs have arrived
also from Philadelphia.
Candles-The stock of this article is now ample;
short B's, 14's, and 16's are in demand at Bd. to 90.,
but 6's and 10's are inactive at 7d. per lb. Compo-
sition are scarce; the only size, however, in demaial
is short 6's.
Codfish-The remainder of the cargoes alluded to
in our last were disposed of at 12s. 6d. to 14s. for old,
and 14s. to 14s. 6d. for new catch in casks, with 18s.
for boxes. A small lot of new, which subsequently
arrived, commanded 16=. for large, and 15s. for
ordinary sized fish, in casks, and 17s. 6d. to 18s. 6d.
in boxes. These sales had been all effected when
a largemprrival occurred, for which l4s. for old, and
15s. for new catch in casks, and 18s. in boxes, were
paid; but a portion has since been rejected, in con-
sequence of its proving unmerchantable. Another
cargo of new catch, subsequently received, com-
manded 15s. and 18s. in casks and boxes respectively.
The stock is now small. Large casks, that is hogs-
heads and tierces 6's, are not in so good demand as
small ones.
Soap-The arrivals of soap, both from Liverpool
and Cork, have been to some extent, and have ex-
ceeded the demand. The only transaction of any
moment, since our last, has been the sale of 2,000
boxes Steele's feather, 481b5., at 12s. per box.
Pork-300 barrels of prime have changed hands at
60s. per barrel in bond. The supply has been very -
much reduced, and the stock is, at this moment, very
light. A small lot of Irish, in half barrels, was dis-
posed of at 60s. per half barrel, but a subsequent
arrival has lowered the rate to 58s.
Beef-The stock is fair. American, in half barrels,
is worth 50s. to 525. Rounds are unsaleable.
Tongues-Pigs are in great request, with a bare
market. Ox tongues are unsaleable.
Hams-American are taken at 7d. to Bd., accord-
ing to quality. Lancashire are inactive at /od. per lb.
Cheese-the very small supply on hand has forced
the prices of D. G. up to 12d. per lb.
Oil-Cod is in heavy supply. Prices range from
Is. 10d. to 2s. per gallon.
Malt-Lanes Cork stout is worth 905. per hogs-
head, other descriptions remain as last reported.
Salt-The stock is becoming light.
Lumber-White pine has been sold, afloat, at from
Si. 6s. to Si. 10s. per thousand feet; and cedar shin-
gles, also afloat, at 245. per M.
Tobacco-The stock of Cavendish is heavy, while
the demand is inactive. 25 boxes, 20's, and 32's, have
been moved at 7d., but larger sizes cannot command
more than 7d. per lb. No transactions in leaf have
reached us.
Rum-May be quoted at 4s. 2d. to 4s. 3d., for
proot 21 ; several puncheons hare been taken for ex-
portation at 2s. 7d. per gallon short prices.
Sugar-Ranges from 19s. to 245. per 1001 b.
Specie-Colombian doubloons are worth 3 to 3k
per cent. premium on 645.
Freights-One or two vessels which arrived imme-
diately after our last issue obtained freight at 4s. 6d.
for sugar and 6d. for rum ; but those rates cannot
now be maintained. In fact, much difficulty is now
experienced in getting cargo, and there are, we are
told, six vessels at present in our harbour waiting,
with but very little chance of being speedily filled.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
BOULOGNE AND AMIENS.
A special meeting of the English shareholders in
this company was held yesterday afternoon, at three
o'clock, at the Bridge House Hotel, for the purpose
of receiving the report of a committee appointed
some time ago, and to determine upon the course to
be adopted with respect to it.
J. Macgregor, Esq., occupied the chair. There
was a numerous attendance of shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN read the report, which extended
over several folios. It stated that the committee had
sought an interview with the directors of the Bou-
logne and Amiens Railway with respect to the affairs
of the company either in Boulogne, Paris, or London,
which, after various communications, had been re-
fused. The committee met on the 25th ult., and
agreed to various emendations of the statutes, with
the view of being submitted to the general meeting
on the 30th, at Paris. They were to the following
effect t—t hat the meetings should be held at Boulogne;
that the directors should be voted remuneration at
each general meeting ; that three directors should be
elected at each meeting ; that every twenty shares or
under should entitle the holder to one vote, and every
additional five shares one vote, and that holders of
proxies should be entitled to use them to the fullest
extent ; that twenty shareholders, holding 200 shares
or upwards, should be entitled to request the holding
of a meeting within twenty-one days of the receipt
of the requisition, and that the reports should be cir-
culated five days before each meeting; that being a
director in the Paris and Rouen, the Rouen and
Havre, or the Rouen and Dieppe should be a disqua-
lification for the office of director in this company. Mr.
Devaux, Mr. Boxendale, and Capt. Tindal, the first of
whom had resigned his office as a director, had sought
to settle matters, but they had been unable to come
to any satisfactory arrangement. The other direc-
tors declared that the meeting from which the com-
mittee emanated on the 17th of September was irre-
gular, and refused to receive the amendments, so
that they could be entertained on the 30th. The
committee had taken legal advice, and they were in-
formed that in the event of anything happening by
which they might be lost that the directors would
be responsible, and that resignation would not
remove it.
Mr. DEVAUX said he still had the utmost confidence
in the house of Lafiitte and Co., which held a vast
amount of their capital, and that the amount they
held was safe.—(Hear, hear.) He explained that
200,0001. was invested in discount bills, and that he
had so much confidence in those bills that he should
have no objection to discount them—(Hear)-41. per
cent. interest was paid upon the money. There could
be no less upon those bills.
Captain WARREN said he had paid great attention
to the prospects of the company, and his opinion was
that it would ultimately pay 81. 10s. per cent.
The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting. He re-
gretted the course things had taken, because he be-
lieved that the line would have cemented a friendly
feeling between the two countries. He suggested
that notice should be served upon all the directors,
stating their liabilities, which, embodied as a motion
with the repert of the committee, was carried. He
went on to say that these interested in adverse In-
terests should not have a seat at the board, and that
beutenc still e at
the great body of the shareholders should insist, not-
withstanding the opposition of the directors,
_flu on the
propositions of the committee. Their b
the forthcoming meeting might small,
was incumbent upon those to use it.
The committee was appointed, and the Chairman
offered to convey shareholders to Boulogne and back
again free of expense.
A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and
the meeting separated.

the town wl',o remember Mr. Payton, and the anecdote
of the yotrjg mulberry ; so that there is no very good
reason ft-a- throwing a doubt upon the story—except one
which 'is suggested by the tree itself. Perhaps the soil
is Per,uliarly favourable to the growth of mulberries; how
the. may be I know not ; but the lofty stature and the
e*Aormous knarled branches of the Payton-Shakspere
mulberry, which are preserved by great iron chains from
being broken down by their own weight, seem to me to
indicate a growth of centuries. It is certainly a mos t
wonderful mulberry for its years, if the story be true.--

ROYAL WESTMINSTER OPHTHALMIC HOSPITAL.---
Yesterday a meeting of the Governors and Committee
of the above hospital, for the relief of the indigent Poor
labouring under diseases of the eye (without letters of
recommendation), was held in the board-room of the
institution, at Charing-cross, for the transaction of
general business ; L. Powell, Esq., in the chair. The
report stated that then. are now on the books 2,945
out-patients and 14 in-patients. For the accommodation
of the better class the wards are capable of containing
30 at one rime, but the present state of the funds prevent
the admission of more than half that number. During
the last year 4,100 persons were relieved, of whom 181
were in-patients. Since its institution in 1817, upwards

taken by events elsewhere. Whether that move-
ment will be progressive or retrogressive is a
question as problematical to Mr. Tms.r, the pleni-
potentiary, as it must be to General PAREDES,
the invisible double of the Mexican President.
Whether General TAYLOR will have to rival the feats
recounted in the Anabasis, or transform the valley of
the Rio Grande into a second black forest, and him-
self into a second MoßuAt (one of which would be as
impossible as the other), or whether he will have to
gird up his loins for a more momentous tussle with
the Dictator SANTA ANNA, and press onwards to the
succour of his puissant colleague WINFIELD, is as
impossible to conjecture at this moment as it was at
the very commencement of the invasion, and must be
a problem as difficult of solution to honest ZACHARY
himself as it would be to General VALENCIA.

Meanwhile the sluggishness of General TAYLOR
within the walls of Monterey is being emulated in a
remarkable manner by General SCOTT outside the
walls of the metropolitan city of Mexico. Al-
though, according to the extravagant declaration
of the Sun of Anahuac, thirty-two thousand men
were driven to the gates of Mexico by seven thou-
sand men, at the point of the bayonet, General SCOTT
remained at a distance of three miles from that capi-
tal, in compliance with the first whispered proposi-
tions for the renewal of pacific negotiations. What
consummate magnanimity ! Granting an armistice of
forty-eight hours, forsooth, to a race which had
proved itself incapable of withstanding his assaults,
although numericallyof nearly five times his strength !
Is this narration, we ask, within the limits
of feasibility ? Is it rational to imagine that a
general who could rout 32,000 with 7,000, and drive
them ignominiously to the gates of a capital at the
point of the bayonet, would allow such golden oppor-
tunities to slip from him unemployed, and acquiesce
in the first doubtful proposal for a renewal of the
scheme of pacification ? Would he not, considering the
peril of his position, with an infirm and exhausted
force in the heart of a country populated by an un-
certain and revengeful people, eagerly pluck the
flower safety from the nettle danger ? To think other-
wise would be to proclaim ourselves as gullible as
the most vainglorious among the Yankees. From a can-
did consideration, therefore, of the recent occurrences in
the several provinces of the Mexican republic, it would
appear that the successes of General SCOTT have been
grossly exaggerated, and that instead of having the
Mexican nationality, as it were, at his individual dis-
posal, his army is becoming every day more and more
at the mercy of the Mexicans.
A guerilla onslaught of a sanguinary character
may be anticipated with considerable certainty, and
the paeans of victory which have been prematurely
chanted in the printing-offices of Vera Cruz and New
York will (unless some unexpected catastrophe
should intervene) be changed into the la-
mentations of defeat. When NAPOLEON ad-
vanced at the head of the combined nations of
Europe into the centre of the Russian empire, he es-
tablished his head-quarters in Moscow ; he had
dramas performed in the palace chambers of the
Kremlin, by the actors and actresses of Paris; and
from the gate of the Kremlin to the grand entrance
of the Tuileries post-houses were established with so
much security and regularity, that until the me-
morable retreat had been some time commenced, not
a single courier was molested along that enormous
line of communication, and the news circulated with
the utmost regularity between the Imperial head-
quarters, and the seat of the Imperial Government.
How do these matters stand with the American
captains ? Will SCOTT locate himself in the metro-
polis of Mexico ? Will the heroic voice of the
comedian MaanLEo resound in the halls of the
Montezurnas ? Has ZACRAE: TAYLOR a perpetual
intercourse with the Locofocos of Washington ?
How many messengers have been stopped between
the outposts of Monterey and the door-scraper of the
American President ? And have not those messen-
gers who have been stopped been compelled to pay
the postage with their lives ? Yet we should con-
jecture that a cloud of Cossacks is as terrible
as a gang of guerillas ! The truth is—the Americans
can violate the laws of nations—they can butcher
women and children, as they did at the storming of
Vera Cruz—they can brag in german type and
bluster in bourgeois—but they cannot conduct with
success an expedition which requires both military
genius and diplomatic skill.

The Earl of CLARENDON, since his assumption of
the Vice-Royalty of Ireland, has spared no labour to
discharge efficiently the duties of his exalted station.
The answers which he has from time to time returned
to the numerous addresses presented to him, the deep
interest he has evinced in everything by which the
prosperity of the country in which he is the repre-
sentative of the SOVERFIGN can in any manner be
premoted, have gained him golden opinions from per-
sons of every class and of every shade and variety of
political feeling. To every complaint and remon-
strance he has lent a ready and attentive ear. He has
listened patiently, and replied courteously, so that
whatever might be the result of the application, whe-
ther the response was favourable or otherwise, all par-
ties have at least been impressed with the conviction
that there is an anxious desire on the part of the
Government to make every just and reasonable con-
cession,
to afford every assistance within their power
to those proving themselves worthy thereof, and to
co-operate with the landed proprietors in all parts
of the country (whose undoubted duty it is to take
the initiative) in their exertions for the due develop-
ment of the national resources, and the providing of
useful employment for the immense quantity of la-
bour that is now suffered to remain idle and unpro-
ductive. Ilis Excellency has never failed to point out
in kind and gentlemanly language the existing evils
that require amendment, to show by whom the
improvements should be originated, and how far
Government assistance may be hoped for. He has
clearly explained the means within the power of
all, and urged, in the most impressive manner, the
necessity of their being taken advantage of in
sufficient time, and the futility of neglecting those
means in the vain expectation of something more
being done than has already been announced. Such
exhortations proceeding from so high and influential
a quarter cannot be despised or neglected. There is
no mystification or concealment of any kind. The
Irish landowners are shown that they must set their
own shoulders to the wheel, and that they cannot
suppose that English industry is to be permanently,
or even a second time taxed, for the purpose of
maintaining them in positions which they are unable
to perform the duties of. What has already been
done should satisfy the most virulent railer against
the Saxon and the stranger of the true spirit with
which Englishmen regard their Irish brethren. The
simple fact that more than 700,0001. sterling was
collected by voluntary contributions, and distributed
for the relief of the distress in that country—in
addition to the enormous sum of ten millions of
pounds sterling, which was advanced from the
national Exchequer, partly as a free gift, and the
residue as loan, to be repaid at a period of greater
prosperity, and that at a time when we, ourselves,
were suffering under the effects of an insufficient
harvest, and a general scarcity—should have more
effect than the unfounded and unreasonable complaints
of interested parties, who, for their own purposes'
desire to excite the animosity of the people against
those who have proved themselves to be their best
friends, because they could not effect impossibilities.
The explanation of the real causes that have hitherto
prevented the introduction of capital into Ireland (its
It esadysu—ty
chief want), and also as to the duties and powers of a
Government, should be maturely considered. His
Excellency
is nctyhe

measures, as may conduce to

is completely powerless in such
matte
long as capital does not find in thisrs; count and
so
adequate protection, and consequently the prospectry
profitable investment, all future attempts, lenan(lfy
past experiments here, to introduce capital, must
fail —so long as ignorance and prejudice renders its
introduction dangerous in Ireland—and so long
will it be diverted from your shores, and
seek investment in foreign schemes." And again,
"Insecurity alone bas preventec3 the investment in
Ireland of the millions that have been squandered in
foreign loam and mining speculatioN ; but if Eng-

lish capitalists can be convinced that they are safer
in Ireland, and that education and example have
taught the people better to understand their own true
interests, you may rely on it that capital and enter-
prise will never be wanting here." These are, in-
deed, important truths, that never can be sufficiently
inculcated upon the people. It is to their own tur-
bulence and lawlessness, to the outrages and disturb-
ances by which the peace and tranquillity of the
country is violated, that many of the present evils,
and a great deal of the recent sufferings, may be
attributed. They hare their origin in other sources
besides the failure of the potato crop. Some of
these causes have been removed. The most help-
less and unprotected Irishman has now a legal
right to a maintenance out of the soil on which he was
born. His claim has a priority over the demand of
mortgagee or landlord. If feeble or debilitated, and
unable to earn his daily bread by his own exertions,
he must still be provided for. If able-bodied and
willing to work for his own livelihood, he must either
have fitting employment provided, or must
be supported in idleness. Under any cir-
cumstances, he cannot be disregarded or suffered to
perish so long as there is any food in the country. Hence
the possession of land will no longer be an object of
such paramount importance, a matter of life and
death, that it should be obtained at any price, by as-
suming and undertaking to pay rents that would absorb
the entire produce without leaving any surplus, even the
, most scanty provision for the support of the occupier
and his family, and that possession maintained by
acts of violence and intimidation when the inevitable
failure of payment should induce the landlord to attempt
to get rid of his unprofitable tenant. This, the first
great cause, has been set aside to a certain extent; other
Acts will, however, be necessary to encourage im-
provements of the soil, and to protect the tenant in
the enjoyment of those improvements which have
been effected by his own labour and industry. We
verily believe that the extension of the Ulster tenant-
right—not that which is claimed by mad enthusiasts,
but such as is acted on by really good landlords in
the north of Ireland—would go far to effect this
desirable object, and to banish the last remaining
grievance. IVe shall look anxiously for the measures
that will be brought forward by the Government for
the purpose of improving the relationship between
landlord and tenant. On these, in a great degree,
will depend the tranquillity and, as a natural conse
quence, the prosperity of the country. We believe
that the subject is at present anxiously considered,
and we doubt not that at the very commencement of
next session we shall have a well-matured project
laid before the Legislature for their sanction and
approval.

The Russian Government has decided that, for the
uture, passports shall be delivered to native and
foreign merchants, artists, and artizans travelling in
Russia on business, which shall be good for their
respective destinations, without being subject to the
visa of the authorities of the different towns on the
road ; but this favour is on no pretext to he accorded
to persons who travel only for their pleasure.

Letters from Naples of the 29th ult. state that in
consequence of the reports of Signor VIGNALE, the
Attorney-General of the Court of Messina, and
Signor PARISI, the Intendant General of the same
city, the KING had dissolved the Courts-martial in-
stituted by General LUNDI. Signor ROBERTI,
Attorney-General of the Grand Court of Palermo,
has officially represented to the Government that there
were not sufficient grounds for continuing the prose-
cution against the brothers GALLO, who were arrested
as accomplices with the companies of the artillery sus-
pected of having been engaged in the conspiracy of
Palermo, and on that account imprisoned in the castle
of St. Elmo.

A letter from Genoa announces the arrival in
that port on the 29th ult. of a French steam-
frigate, from the squadron in the Bay of Naples.
Preparations were making for the celebration of
the KING'S fete, but it was reported that an order had
been received from the chief of the police at Turin,
prohibiting the utterance of all vitas, even in favour
of his MAJESTY or the Pore. A commercial Con-
gress was about to assemble at Turin, for the purpose
of organizing an Italian Customs League, which
Naples had refused to join.
Letters from Turin, of the 2d, state that a number
of young men having assembled outside the city to
sing the Hymn of Pius IX., the vicario of the police
had waited on the KING to apprise him of their in-
tention and take his orders. His MAJESTY told that
officer to suffer the meeting to go on. "If they cry
Vica CHARLES ALBERT," said he, "it is a compliment
to me ; if they cheer Pius IX., it is an homage to the
Father of the Faithful ; and if they shout for Italian
independence, it is a very natural manifestation. But
you must not allow them to enter the city tumul-
tuously." Count BRESSON was believed to have pre-
sented a note to the KING, in which M. GUIZOT
declared that France would oppose all foreign inter-
vention in the affairs of Italy, as well as the inter-
vention of Italian Princes in those of their neigh-
bours. The KING had ordered all the officers on
leave of absence to return to their respective corps.
The Chevalier MARTINI, the Tuscan Minister, fre-
quently transacted business with the KING and Mon-
signor COBBOLI-BUSSI, with a view to effect a political
and commercial alliance between Piedmont, Tuscany,
and the Roman States.

Madrid journals of the Ist have been received.
Their contents are now of little interest, as they have
been anticipated by the telegraphic dispatch of the
4th, received in Paris on Wednesday, which an-
nounces the success of the intrigues of the Afran-
cesado faction to force themselves on the QUEEN.
The Ileraldo, the organ of that faction, strongly at-
tacks the plan for the new civil organization of the
kingdom, and advantage has probably been taken of
that decree to excite the turbulent soldiery to revolt
against this first attempt to curb the power of the
military chiefs.

The Gageta of the Ist publishes a decree autho-
rising time bargains on the Stock Exchange.
The Carlist chief, CALVENTE, who was reported to
have been killed in the mountains of Toledo, has
escaped to Gibraltar, and sailed for England in the
Indus.

General CONCHA has published a bando allowing
the Carlists a delay of fifteen days to lay down their
arms. Every individual belonging to a rebel band
taken prisoner, after that period, is to be sentenced
to serve ten years in the colonies as a simple soldier,
provided he be not guilty of incendiarism, of robbing
the mails, murder, or other crimes punished with
death or the galleys.
Fresh troops are daily arriving at Barcelona. In
the meantime the Carlists are not idle. The chiefs,
MARSAL BoquIRA and CASTEL, held a council of war
the other day at Ripoll, to concert future operations.
Not a single transaction, either for cash or time,
was concluded on the Bourse of Madrid on the Ist.
After the usual hour of business, however, the Three
per Cents. were done at 26k for cash, and the Five
per Cents. at 16,-1, without the coupon.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
The Moniteur Parisien of that evening contains the
following announcement :
" The French Government has received by a tele-
graphic dispatch, dated Madrid, October 4, the news
that her Majesty Queen ISABELLA has appointed a
new Ministry, of which the following is the comp°.

sition :

" President of the Council and Minister for Foreign
Affairs, General NARVAEZ.
" Minister of the Interior, M. SARTORIUS.
" Minister of Finance, M. ORLANDO.
" Minister of Public Instruction, M. Ros DE
°LAN°.

" Minister of War, M. CORDOVA.
" The ordinance which constitutes the new Minis-
try was published in the Gazette of the 4th.
" Madrid is perfectly tranquil."
By what means the QUEEN has been coerced into
submission to the Viceroy of Lours PHILIPPE we
have yet to learn, but that the reign of terror is about
to recommence in Spain is evident.
An article in the Journal des Debats, on the subject
of the Reform banquets, at once betrays the uneasi-
ness of the Ministry on the subject, their desire to
avail themselves of any opportunity that may be
offered to them to prosecute those who take part in these
banquets, and their willingness to yield to the pressure
so soon as it shall become so violent as to be likely to
squeeze them out of their places. The Debats says— i

"The Opposition have set those banquets going for
the pleasure of playing a trick on the Ministry. The
party hostile to our institutions le.id hold of the move-
ment, as might have been expected. Such conduct
has already taken place whenever, in place of address-
ing public opinion in a regular form, the Opposition
have endeavoured to agitate the masses by irregular
means. It is thus that they have rendered them-
selves accomplices, without wishing to be so, of all
the disturbances, of all the insurrections, and of all
the calamities which have afflicted France during 17
years."

- This last sentence is a revival of the monstrous
doctrine of moral complicity first propounded by M.
HEBERT for the purpose of destroying the unfortu-
nate DUPOTET. It is, however, a dangerous doctrine
for the Debats to broach. The colleagues of M.
TESTR and the associates of the Duke DE PRASLIN
must be more bold than prudent if they give in their
adhesion to this doctrine of moral complicity. The
concluding passage, which is as follows, betrays at
once the fear and the weakness of the Ministry :
" You may agitate yourselves, but not the country.
You may deliver speeches more or less violent, more
or less ridiculous—you may sing the Marseillaise,'
but you will remain what you cre, united or divided
—a minority. And should a reform become useful
or necessary, it is not you who shall accomplish it."
This reads like a translation from a rabid Orange
paper, published in the early days of the Catholic
Association. The concluding passage, however
affords hope that the agitation will succeed in its
object. M. GUIZOT'S Ministry, it is evident, is made
of squeezable materials, and will yield rather than
resign.

The Union Monarchique, in the following article,
gives an accurate appreciation of the situation of the
Ministry in the presence of this vast yet peaceful
and legal movement :
" The Ministry continues to be rather embarrassed
as to the attitude which it ought to assume relative to
the Reform dinners of the Left. At one time it
fears, and at others pities, them. When it hears theta
appeal to the principles which it had itself formerly
proclaimed, and exalt the reminiscences which it de-
sired in other times to keep up, it shows alarm, and
treats them as Republicans. On the contrary, when
it beholds the agitation which had arisen about them
subsiding, when it sees the speakers and guests return
peaceably to their homes to attend with the most per-
fect calm to their daily labours, it takes on itself to
treat them as very amusing persons, and rails and
laughs at them. Fear is a good deal, pity_ is top much.
Fear is evidence of a guilty consciegeeii)ity of a
vicious mode of thinking. Both prove that • the :Mi-
nistry no longer possesses sufficient liberty to render
to itself an exact account of the situation—to com-
prehend its embarrassments and perils. At present,
in particular, it is with pity that the Ministry is
seized, and the dinner which now excites that feeling
is precisely the same as three days back caused it the
greatest alarm, namely, that of Orleans. The Mi-
nistry has discovered on reflection that there were at
table only 500 guests, whereas the population of the
town amounts to 45,000 souls ! It might he retorted
that amongst 35,000,000 Frenchmen the law admits
scarcely more than '200,000 electors.
The statistics of the commerce between France and
Naples, contained in the following reply of the Presse
to an article in the Moniteur, will be found interest-
ing. The Presse says—
" Before the treaty, under the empire of the sys-
tem so badly combired of our differential duties, the
Neapolitan flag carried on a rude competition with
ours. In 1846, for example, the maritime commerce
between France and the two Sicilies was carried on
by 742 vessels, and supplied an official freight of
127,000 tons. The part of the Neapolitan flag was
516 ships and 98,000 tons. The part of the French
flag was 226 ships and 29,000 tons. That is to say
that we had 28 per cent. against 72 per cent., if we
compare the number of ships, and 22 per cent. against
78 per cent., if we compare the tonnage! But these
figures, striking though they may be, do not even
give an idea of the inferiority of our part. If 226
French ships succeeded in the year 1846 in obtaining
the conveyance of 29,000 tons of merchandise, that does
not say that they traversed the distance which separates
our ports from the kingdom of Naples and from the
Two Sicilies. No—the greatest part of them did not
go farther than Nice or Genoa. Sicilian ships not
being able, on account of the surtax of navigation, to
come to our cosst, brought to Nice or Genoa, the
products of their country; there these products were
transferred to French ships, which brought them to
us. It was at bottom a navigation much smaller
than it appeared. For the future, under the new
system which dispenses Neapolitan ships from the
necessity of resorting to these truncforst of their
freight, by which our navy profited, and which to a
certain point created an illusion as to its part in those
latitudes, these ships will come direct into our ports.
They will without intermediaries bring not only to
Marseilles, but to Cette, to Nantes, to Bordeaux, to
Rouen, the oils, sulphurs, grain, fruit, hemp—in a
word, all that we draw from Naples and Sicily. The
new treaty will therefore deprive French navigation
of the little it had preserved. That is a result so
inevitable, that we do not fear to appeal in advance
and publicly, fora proof of it, to the next publications
of the Board of Customs. Is this then a case for
self-glorification and applause ? For the Moniteur
perhaps it is ; but not for us."
The same journal says, " It appears that there will
be a modification of the Cabinet before the opening o
the session. It is said that two Ministers are to re-
tire ; but neither of them will be M. JAYE, M.
TREZEL, nor M. DE .MONTEIIELLO." The two Mi-
nisters alluded to as about to retire are M. DE SAL-
TANDY and M. CUNIN-GRIDAINB.

The post of Governor of the Invalides, which has
been declined both by Marshal SOULT and Marshal
SEBASTIANI, will, it is said, be given to General

PETIT.
The Due D'AumALs was to embark for Ali

The King and Queen of the BELGIANS, accom-
panied by the Princes and Princesses, their children,
arrived in Paris at half-past five o'clock on Tuesday,
by the Northern Railway.
The Toulonnais publishes the following letter,
giving an account of the movements of the French
squadron on the coasts of Italy. The letter is dated
Bay of Naples, Sept. 28.
" I hasten to inform you that the squadron (that is
the five ships of the line and the steam-frigate
Asmodee) will leave Naples to-morrow morning, the
29th. The squadron will visit the entire coast of
Italy, in order to exhibit our flag, and we are ordered
to return to Toulon on the 20th of October. We
calculate on arriving in that harbour, or at the islands
of Hyeres, at the latest, on the 25th. The Descartes
steamer sailed on the 27th for the Adriatic (Ancona
and Venice). The Magellan proceeded on the same
day to Leghorn and Genoa. Those two steamers are
again to join the squadron towards the close of the
month. The Panama is still on the coast of Barbary.
She was expected yesterday, but had no doubt some
good reason to remain at her post. I dare not
venture a word respecting the affairs of ;Naples,
which are enveloped in mystery. Nothing posi-
tive is known, the Government maintaining the
most profound silence on the subject. Nevertheless,
we have been assured that the insurgents had de-
feated the royal troops. At Naples, patrols traverse
the streets, night and day, and we can perceive no
reason to justify that measure, the city appearing
very calm. The Government has thought proper to
arrest several individuals, and a number of others,
suspected of disaffection, have abseonded."

THE FIRST LORD Of THE ADMIRALTY IN LITER-
fooL.—LIVERrooL, THURSDAY.—Last evening, at halt-
past eight, the Earl of Auckland, First Lord of the
Admiralty, arrived in Liverpool from the Isle of Man,
by the mail steamer. He immediately proceeded to the
Adelphi Hotel, where he remained for the night. This
afternoon, about half-past two o'clock, he embarked on
board the Government tender Redwing, to inspect the
officers and crews of the
Government steamers in port,
mail steamers from this port. At about two o'clock the
Redwing, having on board the
in full naval uniforms,
came alongside St. George's Pier-head to wait his Lord-
ship's arrival. On his arrival at the pier the flags were
hoisted, and the usual marks of respect observed. The
Noble Earl was received by the principal officers, and
immediately after embarking. proceeded down the river
to the Sloyne, where the Medusa was lying at anchor.
On his Lordship proceeding on board to inspect the
vessel, the yards were manned. His Lordship, who was
on board for some time, still remained there on his
inspecting mission when our correspondent sent off this
account.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
steadier. Sales, 2,500 to 3,000 bales.—Railway Shares
continued exceedingly flat.

The Money Market has been eased a little by the
ability of the Bank of England to suffer loans to run on
for a few days, and by the assumption that the active
measures taken to urge on tax collections have placed
the Government in ample funds to secure the dividend
payments without any aid from the Bank. The intelli-
gence from Madrid, however, is, in a political point
of view, so important, that it is considered in the
City to be likely to bring matters to a crisis,
and the game played by France will loosen still more
the " friendly" relations existing with England. We
happen to know, however, that in various quarters the
preparations making by our Government are such as to
command respect and ensure peace, if such can be main-
tained on honourable terms. As to any serious dif-
ficulties with France, active interference in Spanish
affairs would probably be deprecated, and the
improbability of the Spanish nation tamely sub-
mitting to foreign domination is held by many ex-
perienced parties in the City to be the beat guarantee
against the ultimate succEss of the wily intrigues of the
Tuileries Cabinet. The plot thickens, and all are
anxious for its unravelment.

The exchange comes lower from Hamburgh, viz.
13.5 i, with the price of gold at 433. Accounts of the
28th of September, from Memel, state that the English
mail was looked for with great anxiety, and that if the
failuresLootitinued, the trading community of Memel
must siikestlreatly.
The letter's and papers which have come to hand from
the West Indies give favourable reports upon agricul-
tural affairs, although money was scarce in the colonies,
and the depreciation in prices was severely felt.
From Mexico we learn that peace negotiations were
still in progress, and it is hoped they will result in some-
thing favourable. Such an issue would, financially.
both to England and the United States, be highly advan-
tageous.

There has been scarcely any business doing in the
Public Securities. Consols have ranged from 8411 to 84
for transfer, and from 64i to 841 for account. Ex-
chequer-bills have improved to 13s. and Bs. discount.
The Spanish news depresses stocks.
In the Foreign Market there has been some animation
as regards Mexican Bonds, which have realised 18.1 to
191. Spanish Five per Cents. have been about 18 to 19,
and Portuguese Four per Cents. 21 to 23. Brazil stock
has bean at 76. Dutch Two-and-half per Cents, are

Tab Railway Share Market has assumed again rather
a fir'irjeone, and there are many lines which range a little
higher. A fair business is doing.
