The opening prise fir the Account was 88f, the lowest
point :t7i, and the last prise :-.43 (buyers), this being the
whole effee: produced on the Lnglish market by a fall
of the Frensh funds which occurred on Tuesday of more
than 2 per cent. Au idea is gaining ground, therefore,
among the speculators, that possibly the disturbances
among the lower orders may have as much to do with
the shock that French credit has received as politics ;
and others, who follow this trail of reasoning, go so far
as to connect this movement with the mad enterprise of
Louis, which would appear, therefore, not so insane as
was at first supposed. That politics, at all events, have
produced the whole of the recent effect both oa the French
and English funds is altogether out of the question in
the city reasonings on this matter.
Dutch stock, from the perilous situation in which the
securities of that country, encumbered as it is already
by its debt, would be placed in the event of hostilities,
has been considerably affected for some time past, the
prices gradually and steadily becoming lower. The Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. to-day lea%e off at 49} to .50.

HERALD.—Private letters from Paris are san-
guine with respect to the probabilities of an accommo-
dation of differences on the Eastern question, and sin-
gularly enough the measures taken by the Government
on account of the disturbances among the workmen aro
cited in support of thu opinion. For, it is argued, that
these are regarded with a certain favour as tending to
withdraw the public mind from the consideration of ex-
ternal affairs, and the agitation to which they had before
given rise. It is remarked that a grossly exaggerated
importance has been assigned to these assemblages of
the working classes, and, aays one writer, it was really
ridiculous to see tromps of the line, artillery, gendarmerie
and national guards parading and incumbering the
streets to the number of tens of thousands, and
all against some bodies of unarmed workmen, not
exceeding in the whole about 1,000 men, who
would have been easily dispersed in your city (Lon-
don) by a score of policemen. Under cover of the
commotion thus produced and encouraged it was sup-
posed the Government contemplated making such ad-
vances or concess:ons as wou!d lead to the re-establish-
ment of more friendly relations with the other great
Powers on the Turco-Egyptian dispute. It may be
observed, however, that this, after all, is little better
guess work in the writers, although worth refer-
ring to as tending to show how opinion sets in Paris
amen.; the more aetive commercial classes and stock
speculators.

The Manchester papers confirm the views taken under
this head in respect of the recent induces there. The
moat considerable of these, that of Mr. Henry Forth,
commission agent, is set down from "good authority," as
stated, and about which there can be little question, at
from 30 to 60,0001. in amount of liabilities, which are
precisely the sums mentioned at the time as the probable
extent, when alluding to the absurd misrepresentations of
an esenoir Whig paper,in which they are variously stated
at from 2.50,000/. to the monstrous amount of 400,000/.
It transpi: es also that the share dealings or specula-
tions of the house were to nothing like the length
as,,,ertcd, although even at 10,0001. et dead stock in-
vestment of that sort, which appears to be acknowledged,
the amount would seem sufficiently large for any con-
cern actively engaged in business, unless endowed with
a considerable surplus of unemployed and unproductive
capital. As to the effect on the Share Market here, it was
doubtees greatly exaggerated in some of the papers. The
truth is the accounts of these failures were received at a
moment when the Stock and Money Markets were seri-
ously affected by other and more weighty causes, and
consequently any, however inconsiderable, addition of
rinfatourable intelligence was sure to be made-the most
of by those interested, so as to increase the gloomy
erepreh,•nsions entertained. The Manchester failures
were exhibited in their proper light at the time as merely
accessary and not leading causes of the panic prevailing
in the market. They exercised the more influence how-
ever because under the circuinstarces associated with
other events of more threatening import, just as the last
feather :5 commonly said to break the back of the over-
loaded beast of burden.

CHRON LE.—WQ learn that considerable orders
barb bc('n received within the last few days from Franc
fur the purchase of lead, the exocution of which ha
already had the etnct of etusing a rise in that articl
of nearly 2.1. per ton, and some large orders remair
unexecuted in consequence of the limits being too low.
Au extensive sale of saltpetre took place to-day in
Mincing-lane, which brought an advance of 6d. per
cwt. on the previous quotations. The price of hemp
has beau advanci.ig steadily for some time.
The feeling pre•ails that Mehemet Ali will be corn-
pel.ed to evacuate Syria, and that this will be accom-
plished under the provision of the Quadruple Treaty,
without draggins us into a war with France.

posT.--Money was plentiful to-day, loans upon
the deposit of stock being obtainable to any amount at
the moderate rate of 3 per cent. per annum for short
periods. The Consol market was, moreover, compara-
tively tranquil. "What little business was transacted
there seems to have been confined to time bargains.
No dealings of the least magnitude in money stock took
place, nor does it appear that, throughout the whole
of the late panic, any amount worth naming was
thrown upos the market. 'The share market exhibited
much !more firmness. The quotations for some of the
principal railway shares have, indeed, advanced mate-
rially on those of the last dr.y or two, the only excep-
tion to the generally improved tone of things being in
the unproductive foreign bonds, which laboured under
still greater depression than yesterday.
'file favourable change in the state of the Money
Market to which we have adveroed has been in a great
measure produced, it is to be presumed, by the infor-
mation that has obtained publicity during the last two
ila)s respecting the position of the Bank of England.
Rumours to the effect that a difficulty might be again
experienced by ego Directors in keeping their stock of
gold were current in the early part of the week, but
which were found, upon inquiry, to be based upon no
substantial foualation.

SUN.—This morning the Consol market opened bet-
ter, but subsequently receded slightly. The current
quotations for immediate transfer were 88 and 871, and
for time 881 to 87i ; the intermediate quotations being
those at which the latest bargains were effected. Ex-
chequer Bills brought 10s. to Us. premium, and India
Bonds 12s. to 7s. discovnt, being a shade lower. The
New Three,and-a-Half per Cents. brought 961 to 96; ;
and Wink Steak for the opening 1681 to 169. Money
was easier to-day.
There was not so much vacillation in the Foreign
Market. Spanish Bonds, ahhough dealt in to a fair
extent, averaged rather higher ; the Actives were at
22i to 211 ; and the Passives at 51 Portuguese New
Five per Cents. were heavy at 311 to 31a; and the
Three per Cents. at 21 to 211. Colombian Six per
Cents. brought 211 to 22i, being a slight rally ; Mexi-
can Bonds of 1825 touched 25 ; Brazilian of 1839
were done at 761 ; and Chilian at 42 to 43. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were depressed all day, at
SO to 49k.

The Share Market has been to-day in rather a less
depressed condition. In the afternoon the more :cur-
rent quotations were for the Great Western 13 to 14,
the New 3-} to 4, the London and Birmingham 66, 'the
New 20, the Quarter Shares 18k, the South Western
121 to 13i prem., the Brighton were at 124, the
Northern and Eastern at 11, the North Midland at
18k, and the Eastern Counties at 131 discount.
Late this afternoon an express arrived from Paris j
with news that the Russian Admiralty, had ordered 18
ships of war to join the British squadron in the Medi-
terranean, all of which were to be placed under the
command of Admiral Stopford, who, with four ships he
expected, would have a fleet of 50 vessels at his corn-
'nand, 26 of which were English, 18 Russian, 4 Aus-
trian, and 4 Turkish.

MEDICAL RELIEF IN ROME,

PRUSSIA, AND ENGLAND.

The following are extracts from a publication pre-
senting a view of the provisions for the sick poor, by
Mr. Marshall, a surgeon who has had considerable ex-
perience in the medical treatment of the rich s well
as the poor :
Roxix.—ln Rome, with a population of 160,000,
and without enumerating 18 minor hospitals for poor
sick foreigners, there is hospital accommodation for the
sick, the hurt, and the scabbed, the convalescent, the
incurable, the lying-in, and the lunatic, to the amount
of not less than 5,000 beds; and there are actual!, ac-
commodated upwards of 34,000 patients. This ex-
hibits certainly a frightful extent of bodily suffering in
so small a community, but displays also, in favourable
contrast, an immense expenditure of human beneficence
to alleviate that suffering.
Of 2,000 lying-women, delivered in the St. Rocco
Hospital, not more than 12 died in childbed, although
according to Morichini's calculations, instrumental as-
sistance was employed in the ratio of five per cent. of
the whole number of deliveries.

A third part of the insane are reported to recover—
the number that die are ❑ot stated.

In the large hospital for females, and in the female
department of that for incurables, a community of
female hospitallers, introduced from Genoa in imitation
of the French Sisters of Charity, attend to the sick as
nurses, and themselves bleed and perform all the minor
operations of surgery. In that for incurables, St. Ca-
millus, in 1584, founded his order, the members of which
have the spiritual direction of it still. This order, dis-
tinguished from the other clergy by a red cross worn
on the upper part of their black mantles and known as
the " Chierici, Regolari Ministri degli' Infermi," " are
obliged by vow to attend upon the sick at their own
homes, when sent for, even during plague, or any other
contagious disease." .

PRUSSIA.—The medical system, as a whole, is sub-
ject to the Minister of Health, who, for convenience, is
also minister of education, and ecclesiastical matters.
He is assisted by two medical councils, one for contriv-
ance, the other for execution ; to either of which he
applies according to the nature of the case. Under him
are all medical men, and he exercises his control by each
provincial government, who again employ functionaries
to carry it out in the respective districts, by a general
superintendence of medical matters. If the poor were
to be neglected by the commune, it would be reminded
of its duty, in Berlin—by the police ; in the country—
by the provincial government.
The sick poor of Berlin have access to Russian
baths, sulphur baths, and baths of different kinds, with
herbs, &c., and even have them brought to their rooms
when unable to leave there. When recommended by
the poor's physician for removal to the Gailbrunn
(water:ng place) they are sent there at the cost of the
poor's administration, and provided with free board and
lodging.
The poor's physician is not merely responsible for
visiting the poor, but is also an officer for the care of
the general health of the community, and is therefore
expected to direct the attention of the police to every
evil by which the health of society at large may be
affected.

In order to an effectual administration of medical
relief generally to the poor of any country, the manage-
ment of any provision for affording such relief should
be committed to a director, professionally qualified to
say what is and what is not necessary ; and officially
confined to the single task of superintending the opera-
tions of all the subordinate instruments employed to
render that relief generally applicable, and always cffi-
•ient.

Where, as in England, the directing power is a Board
composed of individuals, whose other duties are such
as to preclude the possibility of their giving an undi-
vided attention to the single object affording prompt
relief in time of sickness ; that object can only have a
share, and sometimes, perhaps, only a small share of
their attention ; and of necessity can only participate
with other objects in a division of their sympathy, while
of itself an object sufficiently vast and important. to de-
mand and to deserve undivided attention and sympathy,
without which, it is obvious, it can never secure thos..:
energies or that zeal which are indispensable to its a'
tainment.

It would surely be no more than a reasonable nonce:.
sion, not only to the profession, but to common scnz
and justice, and to the interests of the poor, were son'
medical knowlecip infused into the " Commisson."

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS IN IRELAND.—
Mr. O'Connell, on his return to his native hills, has ad-
dressed a letter to the electors of Ireland, in which lie
urges very strong reasons for an effectual and immediate
re-registry. At the conclusion, be says, " There is one
additional reason why every man who has already regis-
tered should renew his registry. It is this : That Stanley's
atrocious Bill threatens us again in the ❑ext Session. He
had four majorities against the franchise ; but the principle
of continuing existing registries has been asserted by the
House of Commons, and (bad as he is) acquiesced in by
Stanley hkrnself. Nnw, every man who registers, comes
within this principle, and will retain the right to vote for
eight more years, in spite of all Stanley's machinations
and of his tyrannical Bill. Therefore, to secure a triumph
over the Scorpion in any and in every event, as wet] as to
be able to serve the friends of Ireland, and to contribute
to save her from her cruel and unrelenting eneraies—let
every man reregister—it is literally now or never."
On Tuesday night last, about ten o'clock,
Stewai t, No. 133, G divi,ion, was passing through .North-
, ampton-square, Clerkenwell, when his attention was at-
tracted by a stionrj, light adjacent to the iron gate of the
square, which induced him to proceed to the spot. On
his arrival he found that there was something ph izzing
with a blue light, on which he stamped his foot. The
instant he did so an explosion took place, which was
heard at a considerable distance from the spot, and the
immediate neighbourhood was involved in a sts.te of
alarm. Stewart was laid prostrate upon the groune', in a
state of insensibility, and he was carried to Mr. :Bunn,
surgeon, of Skinner-street, Clerkenwell, when, on ex amin-
ation, it was found that he was dreadfully wounded and
scorched. The police, on searching, found a quantity of
string which had been soake•l in turpentine, whic h had
teen tightly twisted Lad twined about a circular bit of
C or cemented plaster of Paris, which contained a
quantity of charcoal, coke, and burnt leather, and co mbus-
tibl• matter --(Can this be the terrible implement c.f war
alluded to by a Contemporary V,
An accident, attended with fatal results, occur-
rod at the Brierley Hill works, near Dudley, on Monday
week. A young man had his leg lacerated by the ma-
chinery whilst at work. The prompt attendance of a sur-
geon from Brierley Hill was obtained, who suggested the
immediate amputation of the injured limb; and sent for
another surgeon to assist in the operation. Whilst the
patient was on the operating table a third surgeon arrived,
and claimed the case. An altercation arose between the
sons of Esculapius, which was protracted until the patient
died without any steps being taken.— Waver/lump/on

TILE DEVIL OUTDONE! - " JEZEBEL"
M‘Natts Ix BELFAST.—A meeting was held yesterday
( Monday) in the Commercial Buildings, having for its
object the formation of a Diocesan Auxiliary to the " In-
corporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in
Foreign Parts." The Archdeacon of Down presided.
Mr. Russell, the Deputation from the original Society,
gave a detailed account of its operations, advantages, and
requirements—by the last we mean want of funds to in-
crease its missionaries, and extend its labours. The Rev.
Hugh M'Neile, of Liverpool, followed in support of
a resolution ; but in a speech, the strongest part
of which had more to do with the propagation of intense
bigotry and all uncharitableness, than with the promulga-
tion of the Gospel. The doctrine and discipline of the
' Church of Rome—a repetition of the libel against the
Rev. Mr. Hearne, a clergyman of that communion, for
which Mr. Al' Neile's confrere, the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of
Manchester, was lately convicted (omitting the name of the
libelled, from fear of unpleasant consequences)—a tirade
against the " Infidels of the Legislature," and against Pa-
pists, Arians, and Socinians—and last, though by no means
least, a fulmination against " the Hon. and Learned Mem-
ber for Dublin, Mr. Daniel O'Connell,"—" a clever politi-
cian, but profoundly ignot ant of theology, whether good or
bad.." ( Such were the Reverend Gentlemen's words.)
S[, caking of penances imposed by the Romish clergy,
and of their exalting tradition to a level with Divine re-
velation, he described those Ministers as having " tran-
scende ci the devil I"—" the temp•ed surpassing the tempter"
their practices as " the master-piece of Satan l"—and
the an gels of hell as " gloating over their errors I" We
have n. rtes of the meeting, but cannot afford space for a
report of it till Thursday. The above sample will, how-
give a pretty accurate idea of that portion of the
bus; ne is which the audience received with most applause.

.A.TSIUNDANT FRUIT SEASON.—.The present is
uni ver sally admitted to be a prolific fruit season ; but we
much question if any single tree can be found in this coun-
try at. the present date, equal in the production of its
fruit, 'to a remarkable apple tree which was growing in an
orcl as d of Mr. Hackman, at,Lindfield, in this county, in the
year • 1777, an account of which appeared in the Sussex
Adz 'eraser of November 3, 1777, an extract of which we
subl )i a, for the perusal of the curious in horticultural pur-
suits• -" An apple tree in the orchard of Mr. Hackman,
of lei ndfield, in Susacx, produced this year 47 bushels.
The f ruit was weighed, and the average weight of each
bush e. 1 was 561b5., by which it appears that the above re-
mark a hle tree bore one ton, three hundred and fifty-six
poun weight."—Susaex Advertiser.

A) :OTHER. CORSICAN VENDETTA.-Extract
of als tier from Baltia: " A farmer named Carrara, 22
