SAXON Y.

The fair of Leipsic, which has just concluded, is
the best that has been known for many years. All the
manufactured articles—the cloths, stuffs, leathers,
went off in general at from 10 to 15 per cent.
higher than on former occasions. Objects of luxury,
and all kinds of work in the precious metals, found
many purchasers for exportation. This re-animation
in trade is attributable as the result of the previous
stagnation into which all production had fallen, in
consequence of the revolutionary agitations through-
out Europe. The consumption of the masses call
forth positive wants, and these wants must naturally
be satisfied.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 4th says—
" Baron Hugo Von Plessin has left for Berlin, to ob-
tain s categorical answer from that Cabinet respecting
the intervention of the Prussian roilitaky. The Berlingshe
Zeitung states that the cowinauding Officer at Tondern,
•,n being called upon by Baron Von Pb. s.);iu, stated that
he neither could n,tr would employ the military force in
quelling the disorders, us his instructions did not fur-
nish htm with positive orders. Fadrilandal, says Biron
Von Plessin, has worked so effectually upon the Com-
mandant '
Tondern Major Von Wusson, that. upon his
demand, he produced his instructions, although he is
specially enjoined in the same to keep them secret from
everyb,dy as long as possible. In these instructions,
which Baron Von elessin read in the presence of wit-
nesses, it is ordered that the Prussian troops are in no
case to make use of their weapons unless the honoUr of
Prussia should require it—that is to say, unless they
themselves are attacked."

WALLACHIA. AND MOLDAVIA.

The Bucharest Gazette contains an article as fol-
lows :—" We expect here in a few days 2,000 Turkish
troops for forming the winter garrison. The neces-
sary buildings have been already taken to serve as
barracks, hospital, &c."
A letter from Bucharest, dated Sept. 23, to the
Constitutionel of Bohemia, informs us that OMAR
PACHA is provisionally doing there the duties of FUAD
EFFENDI, who has gone to Russia on a special mis-
sion. It represents OMAR PACHA as glowing with
warlike impulses, and says that a considerable Turkish
corps had been ordered about ten days before to enter
partly Little Wallachia, partly the Danube, so low as
Braila, and Galacz. It further says, there can no
longer be a doubt but that KOSSUTH and the rest have
been escorted to Constantinople; and, moreover, it
was rumoured as a certainty that KOSSUTH had been
placed on board of an English ship.

T URKEY.
The utmost activity prevails in Constantinople in
preparing measures of defence, should such become
necessary. A letter from Constantinople, which
arrived at Vienna on the 4th October, announces that
the Divan had given orders for new armaments,
whish are to be carried out with great activity, and
on a large scale. Count STURMER caused placards
to be published at Pera, announcing that the Austrian
and Russian Governments bad broken off all further
diplomatic relations with the Porte.
The liberation of General GUYON and of Messrs.
LONGWORTII and MACDONALD, who were detained
with Kosstrra at Widdin, has been demanded by Sir

THE 1318Hor or LLARDArr.—According to ac-
counts received at the deanery. St. Paul's, yesterday
morning, from Hardwicke Hall, near Chepstowe, we
regret to say no favourable change bad taken place. The
right rev. prelate was suffering from extreme debility,
and, we regret to add, is considered in a very precarious
condition.

BORN AN ENGINEER.—JOIIII SMeatol), who did
much to advance his profession in this country, may
almost be said to have been born an engineer, his genius
appeared at so early an age. His playthings were not
those of children, but the tools which men employ.
Before he was six years of age, he was discovered on
the top of his father's barn, fixing up what he called a
windmill, of his own construction; and at another time,
while he was about the same age, he attended some men
fixing a pump, and observing that they cut off a piece of
the bored pipe, LP procured it, and actually made a
pomp with it, which raised water. When he was under
fiftet-n years of ago he made an engine for turning, and
worked several things in ivory and wood, which be pre-
sented to his friends. A part of every day was occuped
in forming some ingenious piece of mechaziem.—Butida.

PRUSSIA.

On the evening of the 9th the ratifications were
exchanged at Berlin between Austria and Prussia, of
the treaty for the establishment of the new German
Central rower ; the Council of Administration having
given its consent to the confederation of the three
Kings, by a majority of six votes.
The Second Chamber in its sitting of the 9th agreed
to the 1&5 paragraph of the amended Constitution, by
a majority of 237 to 63. It is as follows :
" Laws and decrees are binding when promulgated in
the forms prescribed by law. Only in such cases when
the preservation of the public safety demands it, or in
urgent cases of exceptional necessity,can, in so much as
the Chambers are not sitting, under the responsibility
of the whole Ministry of State, decrees, not contrary to
the terms of the Constitution, be issued with legal effect;
the same are, however, to be immediately brought be-
fore the Chambers at their first meeting."
General RODOWITZ has returned to Berlin.

SAXONY.

The fair of Leipsic, which has just concluded, is
the best that has been known for many years. All the
manufactured articles—the cloths, stuffs, leathers,
went off in general at from 10 to 15 per cent.
higher than on former occasions. Objects of luxury,
and all kinds of work in the precious metals, found
many purchasers for exportation. This re-animation
in trade is attributable as the result of the previous
stagnation into which all production had fallen, in
consequence of the revolutionary agitations through-
out Europe. The consumption of the masses call
forth positive wants, and these wants must naturally
be satisfied.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 4th says—
" Baron Hugo Von Plessin has left for Berlin, to ob-
tain a categorical answer from that Cabinet respecting
the intervention of the Prussian military. The Berlingshe
Zeitung states that the commanding officer at Tondern,
on being called upon by Baron Von Plessin, stated that
he neither could nor would employ the military force in
quelling the disorders, as his instructions did not fur-
nish him with positive orders. Fadrilandal, says Baron
Von Plessin, has worked so effectually upon the Com-
mandant at Tondern, Major Von Wusson, that, upon his
demand, he produced his instructions, although he is
specially enjoined in the same to keep them secret from
everybody as long as possible. In these instructions,
which Baron, Von Plessin read in the presence of wit-
nesses, it is ordered that the Prussian troops are in no
case to make use of their weapons unless the honour of
Prussia should require it—that is to say, unless they
themselves are attacked."

Austrian Government as security for the exactness
of the payments at the periods fixed by the treaty

THE BISHOP OF LLARDArr.—According to ac-
counts received at the deanery, St. Paul's, yesterday
morning, from Hardwicke Hall, near Chepstowe,
wo
regret to say no favourable change had taken place. The
right rev. prelate was suffering from extreme debility,
and, we regret to add, is considered iu a very precarious
n)ndition.

BORN AN ENGINEER.—John Smeaton, who did
much to advance his profession in this country, may
almost be said to have been born an engineer, his genius
appeared at so early an age. His playthings were not
those of children, but the tools which men employ.
Before he was six years of age, he was discovered on
the top of his father's barn, fixing up what he called a
windmill, of his own construction; and at another time,
while he was about the same age, he attended some men
fixing a pump, and observing that they cut off a piece of
the bored pipe, he Irocured it, and actually made a
pump with it, which raised water. When he was under
fifteen years of age he made an engine for turning, and
worked several things in ivory and wood, which he pre-
sented to his friends. A part of every day was occupied
in forming some ingenious piece of mechamsm.—Butge.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat, coast-
wise, has been confined to 2,560 quarters. By land car-
riage, the receipts of that grain have been extremely
small; hence the show of samples here to-day was very
limited. Really fine parcels of both red and white com-
manded a moderate, though by no means active, inquiry
at fully Monday's prices. In the middling and interior
kinds very few transactions took place, at unaltered cur-
rencies. Only 4.560 quarters of Foreign Wheat have
come to hand. Hold rs almost generally were firm, but
as the attendance of buyers, both town and country was
Small, the actual amount of business doing was trifling,
at about stationary prices. The show of Barley
Was rather limited. Malting pArcels were
ThThe but all other kinds ruled dull.
e quantity of Malt offering was on the increase. All
kinds were a dull sale, at barely late rates. From our
awn coasts very tew Oats have reached us ; but the
Supply of foreign exceeded 21,000 quarters. Good
sound Corn was steady, other qualities dull, at last

RUSSIA. AND POLAND.

ST. PETERSBURGII, SEPT. 30.—The Petersburgb
journals contain the following intelligence from
Moscow :—His Majesty, the EMPEROR, as a proof of
his consideration for the zeal and renown of the Rus-
sian arms, and for the faithful allegiance to the throne
manifested by the first capital in the world, has gra-
ciously commanded that the colours and stand-
ards taken from the Hungarian rebels, and
delivered to the Russian troops on the sur-
render of the Hungarian arms, aball be brought to
Moscow, and after being in the first place set up in
St. George's Hall of the new Palace, shall be carried
from thence through the principal streets by the
division of Bens-d'armes, and then laid up and de-
posited in the Armoury. In pursuance of this order,
these trophies, consisting of 64 standards and flags,
have been brought to Moscow by Colonel GEM-
TENEWEIG, who took part in the Hungarian war, and
placed in St. George's Hall of the Kremlin Palace.
According to a notification from the War Depart-
ment, a solemn procession was to take place on Sun-
day, the 23d of September.

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA.
The Bucharest Gazette contains an article as fol-
lows :—" We expect here in a few days 2,000 Turkish
troops for forming the winter garrison. The neces-
sary buildings have been already taken to serve as
barracks, hospital, &c."
A letter from Bucharest, dated Sept. 23, to the
Constitutionel of Bohemia, informs us that OMAR
PACHA is provisionally doing there the duties of PUAD
EFFENDI, who has gone to Russia on a special mis-
sion. It represents OMAR PACHA as glowing with
warlike impulses, and says that a considerable Turkish
corps bad been ordered about ten days before to enter
partly Little Wallachia, partly the Danube, so low as
Braila, and Galacz. It further says, there can no
longer be a doubt but that KOSSUTH and the rest have
been escorted to Constantinople; and, moreover, it

was rumoured as a certainty that Kossuzu had been
placed on board of an English ship.

• "We congratulato British entomologists ou the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Fichl.
"Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegpaph.
"It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
mpyrare specimens."—Standard.

"The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist cleservcdly•stands high. . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newm.m's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English.
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . 'We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as ...very useful addition to
our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9.

HERSCHEL ON ECLIPSES.

Professor Herschel has been delivering an interest-
ing lecture on a phase of astronomical science, which
is just now exciting a good deal of attention. It
would be many years, said the Professor, before we
could again concern ourselves about a European
eclipse, but oar knowled;et in that direction
is making rapid progress. The ancients were very
observant of eclipses. Six or seven hundred eclipses
of the sun and moon were recorded in the Chinese
annals prior to the Christian era, and 500 or 000
were to be counted in the Theban and Egyptian
records. • The first eclipse defined by astro-
nomers was the eclipse of Males, 010 8.c., but the
eclipse of Agathocles of Syracuse 310 B.C. was
observed at the very spot our expedition went to
this year. Professor Herschel gave spine interesting
information respecting the red prominences in the
sun, and the great service which the spectro-
, scope now rendered to astronomers. By the aid of this
instrument it has been ascertained that the height
of these protuberances is something wonderful-
-92,000 miles, or one-third of the distance of the moon
from the earth. Before the eclipse the spectroscope
was turned to the gun, and the prominences were
traced upon it, so that the observers knew in the
eclipse at once where to look for them. The corona
surrounding the sun was now the great puzzle to
astronomers, but there was a probability of our im-
proving our knowledge.
