FORTS3IOUTII, ‘VEDN ESDA Y.—The Orestes, 18, at
this port ; the Amazon, 19, at Devmport ; the Daphne,
15, at Sh• erness, and one or two other vessels, will be
c )mmissioned to-morrow.

The Vtrnon, 50. Captain Fitzgerald, arrived this
morning from the East ladies. Sho did not touch at
the Cape, and her news from St. Helena has been fore-
stalled by the Rosamond. She i 3 ordered to Chatham
to be paid off.
Tho Geyser steam-sloop, Commander Brown, was sent
to some part of the coast of Madagascar, to endeavour to
establish a trade between the Mauritiaus for the supply
of beef.

The Eurydice, 26, Captain Talavara Anson, was in
Simon's-bay, to sail on the 9th of September fn. the
141ozynbique Channcl, where the Arab, 12, Commander
Mo:•rig, was cruising.
The Nimrad, 20, Commander Belgrave, had returned
from St. Helena,- and also lay in Simon's-bay when the
Rosantwid left.

Manritiul.

Rear-Admiral Reynolds, the new Cornm2ndor-in-
Chief for the Cape. in the Southtimpton, 50, Captain
Cory, bad passed Madeira about a fortnight before the
Roiamond touched here. Tie Southampton had two or
three eases of small-pox on board.

The Rosamund steam-vessel (formerly the Eclair)
arrived at Cowes on Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, and
was placed in quarantine, havin4 bad sickness on board
on the passage home. She oh!ained pratique yesterday
morning early, and made Portsmouth about eight
o'clock. She sailed from Simon's Bay on the Btii of
September. Captain Fulford, late commander of Ad-
miral Dscres' flag ship, took passage home in her. S'Ae
will be paid off, although but two years in commissi,m.
The Rosamond is in most admirable condition ; her en•
giaes and boilers are in the best working order. She
made the passage from England to the Cape in 47 days.
and has made a return voyage in V', days, including lt)
days et anchor. She has brought pre,,,ents from the
Queen of Madagascar t Queen Victoria, invalids from
the f-quadroa, and Captain Fultord, promoted from the
President.

The Driversteam-slooop, Commander Johnston,
sailed from Portsmouth yesterday, for Ireland.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—We have again tore-
port a heavy and drooping market. The increasing
pressure of a full production upon outlets so seriously
narrowed by various causes, has been felt to-day in a
somewhat further diminution of the prices of yarns
and goods. There prevails in the trade, however,
such a disposition to yield to that which, in the pre-
sent condition of things, is manifestly unavoidable,
that, after all, a sufficient amount of business is done
to prevent any material accumulation of stock. There
has been a rather increased inquiry, together with
some business, for goods adapted to the India and
China markets—no doubt in anticipation of the com-
ing mail. The heavy shirtings for China continue
relatively more valuable than the lighter fabrics for
India. The operations for the various continental
markets have been limited and irregular. The letters
received to-day from the Levant are of eleven days
later date than the previous advices, viz. :—From
Constantinople of the 7th, Athens of the Sth, and
Smyrna of the Gth inst. Their effect is to cause a con-
tinued inactivity among the Greek houses; for the poll-
tical struggles likely to arise out of the death of
Mohammed Shah, King of Persia, were preventing
the transmission of specie to Constantinople, in pay-
ment for manufactures, in consequence of which busi-
ness has suffered a serious check in that city. The
Tabriz branch of an eminent firm in this city repre-
sent the trade of that place as being entirely paralysed
by the certainty of a military contest for the vacant
throne. Our home trade houses are complaining of a
greatly increased flatness in their branch of business.
A failure in the stuff trade is announced to-day, viz.,
Messrs. S. A. Butterworth and Co., whose liabilities
are stated at various amounts; probably they may
exceed 40,0001. They have a house at Bradford.
ROCIIDALE, MONDAY.—There has been a steady
demand for goods of every description to-day, at
prices much the same as those of the preceding week.
Wool remains heavy of sale, and the dealers complain
of the limited demand there is for the raw material.

HUD] CE RS II ET T—U
; h 0 transactions to-
day have been very limited. Were it not for a few
orders received by the late American packets ;for
fancy goods, we should have to report scarcely any-
thing doing in the district. But this period is gene-
rally considered the dullest of the whole year.
Hatarax, SATURDAY.—We scarcely ever recollect
seeing so small an amount of business done in our
Piece Hall as was done to-day; but there is rather
more doing in the warehouses, chiefly in plain goods,
though by no means what is usual at this season. In
yarns, we have no particular alteration to notice, ex-
cept that the shipping houses seem to purchase for
the German markets with rather less confidence.
Wool remains pretty much the same as noticed in our
last report.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been perhaps a shade
more doing to-day at our Cloth Halls than last week ;
but, upon the whole, the state of our market remains
without improvement.

AUsTRIA.

the evening
A letter from Vienna, dated the 19th, says :—" In
sitting of the Diet on the 18th, Scnu-
SELKA stated that he had received information to the
effect that the Hungarian army, on the ground of a
decision of the Diet of Hungary itself, had refrained
from entering on
the Austrian territory. He added
that it was doubtful whether this resolution on the
part of the Hungarian Diet was the result of the
recent interview of the Hungarian deputa-

tion with Count AUERSPSRG, or of the alleged
menaces of Russia. The refusal of the Hungarians
to cross the frontier is, it is said, owing to the dissa-
tisfactio❑ they ftel at the proceedings of the Aus-
trian Diet.

The Breslau Gazette says that the members of the
deputation appointed by the Left of the Frankfort
AsF:embly to proceed to Vienna,
in order to express
sympathy with the Viennese, have not only accom-
plished the object of their mission, but have pre one
step further, and hare taken up arms fur the good
cause. On the 17th they
made their appearance,
amidst enthusiastic cheers, in
the hall of the Aca-
demy, where they declared that the cause of Vienna
was the cause of Germany, and that Vienna must
conquer; otherwise the entire population (of Ger-
many) must rise up to a man. In all parts of Ger-
many there existed the same
aeling in favour of the
"good cause." At the conclusion of their speeches
they were invested with the insignia of the Academic
Legion.

When the last accounts left 13,„Tiin and Cologne
two mails from Vienna were due at each of those

cities.

The Vernon, 50, Captain Fitzgerald, arrived this

Mozambique Channel, where the Arab, 12, Commander
Morris, was cruising.
The Nimrod, 20, Commander Belgrave, had returned

Rosamond left.

The Brilliant, 22, Captain Watson, remained at th•
Mauritius.

Rear-Admiral Reynolds, the new Commander-in-
Chief for the Cape, in the Southampton, 50, Captain
Cory, had passed Madeira about a fortnight before the
Rosamond touched here. The Southampton had two or
three cases of small-pox on board.
The Rosamond steam-vessel .(formerly the Eclair)
arrived at Cowes on Tuesday evening, at six o'clock, and
was placed in quarantine, having had sickness on board
on the passage home. She obtained pratique yesterday
morning early, and made Portsmouth about eight
o'clock. She sailed from Simon's Bay on the sth of
September. Captain Fulford, late commander of Ad-
miral Dacres' flag-ship, took passage home in her. She
will be paid off, although but two years in commission.
The Rosamond is in most admirable condition ; her en•
gines and boilers are in the beat working .order. She
made the passage from England to the Cape in 47 days,
and has made a return ♦oyage in 46 days, including 10

Queen of Madagascar to Queen Victoria, invalids from
the squadron, and Captain Fulford, promoted from the
President.

to her MAJESTY, in which she has no pertonal
and which might be curtailed without any impro-
priety. The enormous salaries to the Great Officers
of State, and the expenses of their several departments,
consume at least one-third of the entire sums allo-
cated for her MAJESTY'S use, and surely the pruning
knife might be most liberally and freely used in
paring down the extravagant outlay kept up for poli-
tical purposes, and as the purchase money for needy
adventurers, who are prepared to give their adhesion
to any party for a due consideration.
On a future opportunity we shall return to the
consideration of thin important subject, and point out
the other practicable reductions indicated by the
Association.

TO TIME EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—You have already considerably relieved the
minds of bona-fide shareholders by your exposition of
the present Bearing system producing alone the great
depreciation in railway property.
Will you allow me to propose a remedy that
would, I think, in a great measure, prevent the pre-
sent class of outside speculators from continuing their
nefarious practices. It is very evident the public-are
neither selling nor investing in railway shares at the
present moment, nor are they likely to do so until
*confidence is in some manner restored, and they feel
assured that their property is no longer subject to an
unjust depreciation, produced solely by unfair and
illegal means. I would, therefore, suggest that the
London Stock-Exchange jobbers should, instead of
making one pound or two pounds per share difference
in price, when asked to deal, agree among
themselves
to make at least five pounds per share difference.
This would prevent them being saddled with pur-
chases by forced and continued sales, and by giving
them an ample margin, time to resell, without the
necessity
of banging the market. It is very evident
that the loss thus accruing to the Bear on every account
by
this heavy difference in dealing must immediately
stop his proceedings. lam well aware that such an
arrangement could no longer exist when legitimate
business onca more commenced, but to meet the pre-
sent emergency it is desirable that such a step should
be taken, and I am convinced it would be found to .
have an excellent effect.

In the Provincial ;trick-exchanges this Bearing
system is likewise carried to a fearful extent, princi-
,oally by jobbers under the appellation of brokers—

morning to shoot in the Ripley covers, near Bagshot.
His Royal Highness and party returned to the Castle
shortly before two o'clock. In the afternoon her Ma•

his Royal Highness drove down the Castle- bill, in the

visitors, among whom was a large party of the French
National Guard, and at the bottom of the hill, to the
great gratification of the people, the Prince turned to the
left, and passed at a gentle pace through the very heart
of the fair, amidst all the din and clatter of gongs and
trumpets, Windsor October fair just then being in all its

Piece Hall as was done to-day; but there is rather
more doing in the warehouses, chiefly in plain goods,
though by no means what is usual at this season. In
yarns, we have no particular alteration to notice, ex-
cept that the shipping houses seem to purchase for
the German markets with rather less confidence.
Wool remains pretty much the same as noticed in our
last report.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has been perhaps a shade
more doing to-day at our Cloth Halls than last week;
but, upon the whole, the state of our market remains
without improvement.

Tf) THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slue—You have already considerably relieved the
minds of bond-fide shareholders by your exposition of
the present Bearing system producing alone the great
depreciation in railway property.]
Will you allow me to propose a remedy that
would, I think, in a great measure, prevent the pre-
sent class of outside speculators from continuing their
nefarious practices. It is very evident the public are
neither selling nor investing in railway shares at the
present moment, nor are they likely to do so until
confidence is in some manner restored, and they feel
assured that their property is no longer subject to an
unju3t depreciation, produced solely by unfair and
illegal means. I would, therefore, suggest that the
London Stock-Exchange jobbers should, instead of
making one pound or two pounds per share difference
pricii, when asked to deal, agree among themselves
o make at least five pounds per share differAice.
This would prevent theta being saddled with pur-
:•ll..ves by forced and continued slles, and by giving
them an ample margin, time to • resell, without the
ri,-''sives: of banging the market. It is very evident
that,t.he..loss thus accruing
to the Bear on every account
by tnis heavy difference in dealing must immediately
stop his preeeedin
gs. I am well aware that such an
arrangement could no longer exist when legitimate
business once more commenced, but to meet the pre-
sen,emergency it is desirable that such a step should
e
be taken, and I am convinced it would be found to
have an excellent effect.
In the provincial stock-exchanges this Bearing
system is likewise carried to
jobbers a fearful extent, princi-
pally by under the appellation of brokers—

parties who have nothing to lose, but everything to
gain. In this city, for instance, many members 91
the Stock-Exchange are now carrying on enormous
speculations for the fall without any of the shares to
deliver. This cannot be better substantiated than by
quotations from their own lists of to-day, where
Great Northern shares are quoted 578.6 d. for account
end of October, and 63a. 6d. for cash or delivery for
last account ; actually a difference of six shillings for
the loan of shares now standing at 14 dis., 171. paid,
for a few days only. In North British, Edinburgh
and Northern, and other Scottish lines, dealt in prin-
cipally here, even as much as 15s. per share is given
for a similar purpose. This will at once fully testify
the public are not the sellers, and that the deprecia-
tion, therefore, is totally fictitious. I enclose my
name and address.—l remain, Sir, your obedien
servant,

MIDLAND -RA I.

Newby Park, Oat. 21, 1-
Sir,—On behalf of f.t.e Directors of the Midland Railway coin-
NAY. I am requested to acknowledge the receipt of an Address from
..alaiber of Shareholders resident in Liverpool and the neighbour-
"o which you have transmitted to them.
The Directors would have been content merely to acknowledge
To receipt of the Addreis, had it not contained an imputation upon
them, Which they cannot pass over in silence. The Shareholders
Commence their address by ascribing the depression of their pro-
Pert)? to " the want of public confidence in the integrity of the ma-
nagement." The Directors, therefore, desire that you will immedi-
atelY furnish them with a list of the specific charges involved in this
statement, in order that they may convene a Special Meeting of the
b"VanY, and have the opportunity of refuting the accusation thus
rvoiudgu,ehtsagwahinosiy
tiathoe integrity of a body of gentlemen who feel that
e 3, stand as high in the estimation of the public at large as the in-
appended their names to this calumnious docu-
hent, which comes with a peculiarly bad grace from a body of Share-
elders who, prior to the appointment of the present Directors, were
ry receiving* a two-and-a-half per cent. dividend. Since that time
dividerds have been increased to six and seven per cent.
In the meantime I may be allowed to offer to you, as one of the
liharehoiclers who have signed the address, a few remarks upon the
Several suggestions contained in it.
1. You call upon the Directors to close the capital account. No
?arson is more fully aware than yourself that the shareholders have
m~power of passing a vote to that effect at any half-yearly
tin power
But supposing the development of a new traffic, producing
itayreovf 60 0001.,
20,0001. or 30,0001. per annum, should require an out-
how absurd it would be to say that such outlay ought
to be taken oat of income.
2. Yen call upon the'Directors to examine and pay all outstanding
accounts orthe solicitors.;These accounts are now undergoing a strict
examination, and as soon as the solicitors are satisfied to accept the
amount thee Directors think due to them, their bills, will be paid.
kat surely this is a matter which must be left to the discretion of
the Directors; had they given way to the pressure of the Pro-
Voters when they were urged to settle the demands of the contrac-
. js, thermight have "sacrificed a very large sum for the sake of an
ucTediate settlement. They succeeded in making great reductions,
and so much was saved to the Company. The claims of the con-
tractors amounted to 89,5771., and were finally liquidated for
17,7231. 15s. 7d. Your objection to any further Parliamentary ex-
rases being incurred, without the sanction of the Shareholders, is
14110 ; it is clear that no Parliamentary expenses of any importance
can be incurred without such sanction.
a. Yon cull for a reduction of the salaries of our engineers. We
have only one engineer employed upon the lines, and, considering

HUN GARY.

A letter from Pesth of the 224 ult. has the follow-
ing :—" A royal rescript, dated the 14th, addressed
to the Diet, and read a the end of yesterday's sitting
of the Chamber of Representatives, his created great
consternation. The KING thereby makes knows that,
his health being improved, he resumes the govern-
ment into his own hands, and discharges the Arch-
duke Palatine from the functions of Liutt.nant-
General of the King, which had been conferred upon
him. It is feared that this rescript will be the over-
throw of the conquests made by the Hungarians in
March ; for without a Lieutenant-General of the
King, resident at Ofen, a general government of
Hungary in its capital is not to be thought of."

DENMARK AND TILE DUCHIES.
The following are the terms of the armistice :--In
the first place, seven in lieu of three months were
conceded by the Prussian Commissioners. 2. It is
determined that all acts emanating from the Provi-
sional Government since the establishment of that
Government shall be annulled, 3. Schleswig and
Holstein are to be divided politically, and the nexus
socialis thus declared now existing. The troops in
the former will acknowledge the King of DENMARK,
those in the latter the King of PRUSSIA as their
chief, Lauenburg to be placed in the status
quo ante. 3. The Provisional Government to
be formed of five members, two to be
chosen by the King of DENMARK, two by the
King of PRUSSIA, and the fifth by the four others or
by the King of PRUSSIA. The blockade will, of
course, cease from the day of ratification, which will
be the 2d September, at Lubeck. The ratification
will bear the signatures of the Kings of DENMARK
and PRUSSIA. The Ministers have been apprised, and
the KING'S signature was to be applied on the even-
ing of the 31st ult. or early on the Ist inst., when
General BELOW will return to Lubeck, there to meet
the Swedish and Danish plenipotentiaries charged
with the Danish ratifications. The Prussian troops
will evacuate the Duchies forthwith.

THE AFFAIR OF RISQU6NS-TOUT.
A letter from Antwerp of the 31st ult. states that
a verdict was given the evening before on the persons
implicated in the Risquons-Tout invasim, which
sentenced seventeen of the prisoners to capital
punishment. The advocate SPILTLIJON is one of the
condemned.

TWENTY POUNDS REWARD.
Escaped, on the Night of WEDNESDAY, the 30th August,
1848, from the Police, who were in close pursuit of him, by breaking
through the roof of the Black Horse Inn, Coggeshall, where he wr s
concealed, SAMUEL CROW, who stands charged with several bur-
glaries. He is about 27 years of age, 5 feet 914 inches high, good-
looking, of fair complexion, with fresh colour, and light grey eyes;
has long brown hair, and whiskers of the same colour, which are
very 11tll, and worn under the chin. Is by calling a groom, smart in
his appearance, and active in his habits, swings his arms as he walks,
and earries himself very erect. Has been employed for several years
in driving flies and post-horses for the innkeepers and gentry of Cog-
geshall, in the neighbourhood of which, as well as in many parts of
Essex, he is well known ; has also connexions in different parts of
London and its neighbourhood. In making his escape, he very much
lacerated one of his hands.
TWENTY POUNDS REWARD will be paid to any person who
shall give such information as shall lead to his apprehension. In-
formation to be given to the Superintendent of Police, or to the Clerk
t the Magistrates, Witham.

TUSCAN Y.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 29th contains more
particulars concerning the outbreak at Leghorn. On
the evening of the 25th the Govornor was released
from the fortress, where he was kept a prisoner, and
the Provisional Government we mentioned yesterday
was instituted. The Tuscan Government, seeing the
urgency of the case, had immediately named D.
Near CORSINI Governor of Leghorn, Sig. LIONETrO
CIPRIANI Chief of the Military, and Sig. MALEN-
caIm, a Deputy, as a Special Commissioner. On
the 26th the people came to blows with the troops,
and it seems got the upper hand. The crews of the
British and American ships in harbour offered their
services fur the defence of lives and property, but
it does not appear that they were accepted. A
deputation from Leghorn arrived at Florence on the
same day, and had an audience from the Ministry,
which lasted till two o'clock in the morning. The
result was said to be that VENSI should be allowed to
return to Leghorn, and one of the banners which had
been left by the cortege of Father GAVAZZI at Signa,
should be restored ; and, on the other hand, efficient
measures should be taken to re•eitablish tranquillity.
The Dieta Italiaita of Bologna, of the 26th ult.,
announces the arrival in that town of Father GA-
V.AZZI, the cause of the recent disturbances at
Leghorn. He was received in triumph by the people
of Bologna.
The same paper gives the spirit of the amnesty pub •
lished by the Duke of MODENA ; the exclusions com-
prise all those who promoted the revolution as mem-
bers of the Provisional Governments; those who pro-
moted the fusion with the States of Piedmont ; those
who signed the act of delivery of Modena to com-
missioners of CHARLES ALBERT ; the authors and
editors of seditious writings, and those who have
committed crimes or misdemeanours under political
pretences.

EGYPT.

Advices to the 21st ult. have been received from
Alexandria. The cholera was raging fearfully in
Egypt. Since its first appearance in the country on
the 12th July there have been 19,473 deaths.

Palace, where the royal party arrived at a quarter-

AINS WORTH.

As, in the foregoing instance, we have both the Au-
gust and September numbers of Ainsworth to criticise.
And prominent among the fictions of the magazine
are, of course, the new instalments of " Crichton,"
emended by blLheupjent
ho:plinaur;rison Ainsworth himself,
of t6a inimitable PtIIZ.
A romance entitled the "Black Slaver" has been com-
menced by a Mr. Kingston, and the opening chapters
are, to some extent, propitious. "A Vision of Great
Alen," suggested by the exquisite " Dream of Fair
Women," and dedicated to Alfred Tennyson, contains
some good passages, such as those in allusion to
Columbus and Napoleon. The effort, however, was
rather temeraire, considering that the same notion had
been long since carried cut by the " poet of poets,"
Shelley. Mrs. White, Mrs. Tindal, H. R. Addison,
Thomas Roscoe, and E. P. Rowsell, are industrious.
" The Homesteads of Lower Britanny," and " The
Countess de Rudolstadt" are continued. " The Two
Berthas; or, How to get Husbands," is brought to a
close, and the graceful songs of Carpenter are
sprinkled over the half pages with lavish grace.

SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE.

Two choice engravings, " The Midshipman," and
the " Avalanche Gallery, St. Bernardino," are the
embellishments for September. Among the contri-
butors are Mrs. White, Miss Stricliland, Mrs. Pos-
tans, and Mr. IL Bartlett. Of all the papers the
one which has occupied our attention the most, is
the one relating to the " Diamond." Both " Ilarry
Sumner's Revenge," and the " Story of a Family,"
are continued ; and towards the close of the number
the editor becomes particularly facetious.

THE CORN TRADE.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The duty has declined this
week Is. per quarter on Wheat, and 6d. per quar-
ter each on barley, oats, rye, and peas. The weather
bas been exceedingly favourable for harvest work all
this week, and a great proportion of grain has been
carried in this locality, and in better condition than
could be expected after so long a spell of unsettled
weather. There was a thin attendance of millers and
dealers at our market yesterday, and the business done
in any article was quite limited. Wheat declined 3d. to
4d. per bushel on both free and bonded. Sack flour was
2s. and barrel flour ls. lower. There was no change in
the value of oats, barley, or oatmeal. Egyptian beans
were Is. per quarter cheaper. Yeas were unaltered. At
a decline of Is. per quarter there was a better demand
for Indian corn than on Tuesday to inferior millers and
for shipment for Ireland. A few Irish new oats sold at
.3s. 6d. to as. 7d. per 451 b. Owing to the fine weather
the trade was very dull to-day, and prices without
change for any article except Indian corn, which is held
-for Is. advance. _ _ _

MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.—During the present week
the weather has been of a decidedly more favourable
character, causing great inactivity in the trade generally,
with a tendency towards lower prices. The imports
from all quarters into Liverpool and Runcorn, excepting
about 15,000 quarters of Indian corn from America, con.
tinue on a very limited scale. At our market this morn-
ing the transactions in wheat were at a decline of 2d. to
3d. per 701 b. on the currency of this day se'nnight.
Flour was freely offered at a reduction of ls. per sack,
but without inducing purchasers to come forward. Oats
and oatmeal met a slow sale, and barely supported their
previous ♦alue.

DOLMAN.

A criticism written by Mr. Paley upon a work re-
cently published by Mr. Soames is penned with ela-
borate minuteness. Another of the habitual con-
tributors to _Dolman, Mr. Jerningham, gives us a
few careless " Lucubrations from Belgium ;" and a
Mrs. Charlton writes a rather sombre " Monody on
the Death of the Archbishop" Albsinna
to the Ileatherils-a--paper somewhat too acrid for
our literary palate, particularly in the opening pas-
sages. Besides these there is a tale called " The
Bridal Eve," two miniature articles styled " Rumi-
nations of an Invalid " and " St. Edmund's Point,"
with a melodious but rather eccentric chaunt, headed
" One and Twenty Years Ago," " Critical Notices,"
and " Catholic Intelligence." The criticism upon
Mr. Faber, who changed from Protestantism to
Roman Catholicism, is written with crushing ear-
nestness.
