► be depreciated—mills and factories idle and deserted—
' artizans and operatives unemployed—and everything
low and unremunerative, save the interest of money.
Those amiable men, the Moneyocracy of the country,
loudly complain of the reduction, proclaim the impro-
priety and inexpediency of the Bank giving the signal
for security, and thus taking the game out of their
hands. They cavil and fret because the
directors have " for the nonce," disregarded
their narrow and restricted views, to which
they have too long been the slaves, and dared to fol-
low the path which a due consideration of the inte-
rests of the Bank proprietary, and of the community
in general, simultaneously indicated. They cannot
conceal their vexation and disappointment, and,
forgetful of the adage, " they bark where they are
unable to bite." Those prejudiced and narrow-
minded men may, however, be treated with silent
contempt. The motives by which they are actuated
are too palpable to deceive even the most cre-
dulous. The nation will not be deterred by
their croakings from taking full advantage
of the improved prospects—of the more pro-
pitious seasons—" the good time coming "—which
we hope and believe to be at hand. They will not be
permitted to realise their own forebodings, to accom-
plish the evil they prophecy with such intense anxiety
for the fulfilment of their predictions. The public
may now be convinced of that which a careful ex-
amination of the Bank returns for some time past, and
of the general prospects of the country, would have
satisfied the more experienced, viz., that there is no
immediate danger of monetary embarrassments ; that
greater facilities for obtaining money at fair and reason-
able interest will be afforded; that confidence and credit
will gradually improve until they are at length fully
re-established, and just and adequate prices may be
obtained for every description of property. We again
congratulate the public on the step that has been
taken by the directors of the Bank of England, a step
which was not only equitable in itself, and what the
country had a right to expect at their hands, but wise
and politic in the highest degree, and likely to
prove equally beneficial to the Bank itself and to
the nation.

Really the contradictions and perversities of judg-
ment displayed by the gentlemen who stickle for the
sanctification of the Sabbath aro exceeding all reason-
able and bearable limits. We can endure the nui-
sance no longer. To squeeze the whole question into
the compass of a very portable proposition, we say for
once and for all—lf Mr. SO•AND-S0 thinks that by
shaving his chin upon the Lord's day, he is acting
sinfully, why, in Heaven's name, let him go unshorn
until Monday morning, but for GoD's sake don't
allow him the power of making his neighbours
equally unclean by compulsion ? Were the whims of
half-a-dozen frequenters of the conventicles to coun-
terbalance the will of the multitude, we should soon
enough have the whole fabric of society turned topsy-
turvy. We should exist upon biscuits and cold meat
fifty-two days in the year ; we should be shivering
over our unlighted hearths for twenty-four hours in
every one of the weeks of winter ; we should have
not the permanent consecration of the Sabbath, but
the periodical stagnation of the community. No
trains would run upon the railways, not an omnibus,
a stage- coach, a cab, a hackney carriage, not
"A whisky, buggy, gig', or go-cart,
Curricle, or tandem;"
nay, not even the must ramshackle brougham, the
most ricketty clarence, or the most unostentatious
chip of a wheelbarrow would break the monotony of
our streets on a Sunday. Sadness and silence would
descend upon the population of our great cities with
the bolting of the last shutter on Saturday nights.
Religion would doom horseflesh to the stables once
every seven days, and would unconsciously promote
the interest of the cobblers of England, Ireland, Scot-
land, and Berwick-upon-Tweed by the compulsory
trituration of shoe leather. Every line of traffic and
communication would be blocked up as effectually as
by the barricades of the Parisians. The cooking of a
cutlet would be prohibited as an infringement of the
Commandments. The receipt of a letter would add
an eighth to the seven deadly sins. The purchase of
a newspaper would require for its expiation some-
thing more than the singeing influences of the
purgatorial fires" mentioned by the ghost in
Hamlet. Now, we protest in Coto against this enor-
mous humbug. We maintain, in defiance of di-
rectors of railways, of Secretary-Kens, of
PLUMPTRES, of AGEWS, and of all the other
godly individuals Rho are known under the
soubriquet of Sabbatarians, we maintain, we say, in ,
defiance of all these very excellent gentlemen, that
GOD never intended our souls to pass through life in
a straight-waistcoat. The virtues inculcated by
Christianity are persuasive, not peremptory. We are
taught to be moral, not forced Willi-nilli into this or
that pathway of excellence. One of the divinest
glories of the religion founded in Palestine is its non-
interference with the will exercised by humanity.
Had it been otherwise, twelve unlettered fishermen
would never have dissipated the sensuous charms of
Paganism. To found Christianity (such as it is de-
picted by the Sabbatarians of Scotland) would have
required an army greater than that of XERXES, a
cunning more profound than that of MecniaveLen
a military awe more overpowering than that of ALEX-
ANDER, the resolution of Cseaseet, the daring of Heeler-
nen, and the dazzling pornps of NAPOLEON. As it was,
the Gentiles were lured into a recognition of the
divinity of CHRIST and of the truths of his religion,
not by arbitrary enactments and rigorous penalties,
but by the inspirations of eloquence, by the force of
logic, by the purity of precepts, and by the witcheries
of example. But, No! The Sabbatarians can't, for
the life of them, perceive one atom of all this. The
truth which is as a shining light to the million is as
an impenetrable blackness to themselves. Oculos
habent, et non videbunt : acres habent, et non audient :
nares habent, et non odoraiunt. To them religion is
as something intimately dependent on the temporary
cessation of the labours of letter-carrying, engine-
driving, and the like diabolical operations. They are
in the minority, it is true ; but they are moreover (to
their own thinking) in the right--and therefore we
must down all of us on our marrow-bones and submit
to their adjudication.
Wait a moment, however, and let us see whether
these men, who expect the whole population of
;he United Kingdoms to yield obedience, without a
murmur at the despotism of their evangelical whims
are consistent with themselves and their theory i
They say that all Sunday travelling is sinful—and
yet they convey the mails very submissively on their
railways, and in so doing employ stokers, and guards,
and engine-drivers, and policemen, and a number of
other subordinates ! They deny a daughter travel-
ling to the death-bed of a father a seat in one of the
empty carriages in a mail-train—and yet they convey
the letters, and those letters may be filled, for aught
they know to the contrary, with libels, and chal-
lenges, and ill-will, and back-biting, and all abomina-
tions! One of the Sabbatarian lines is closed against
a Duchess—while another facilitates the journey of a
Queen ! But here, take the following tidbit of
practical morality. It is the record of a number of
penalties inflicted only the other morning:—

And then read the subjoined paragraph as a testi-
mony of the consistency of these sanctimonious
money-makers.
" THE FAST DAY.—Thursday having been the half-
yesrly sacramental fast, was observed in the city with
the usual solemnity, all the shops and other places of
businesi being clo Ad. The weather being fine, a con-
siderable number of people devoted the day to excursion*
of / leasure, for which the various railways ago; dod (very
facility. We learn that 6.450 passengers tr-tvaid by
the Edinburgh and Northern Railway ; 5,000 by the
Nw th British ; 1,500 by the Eiiinbur,i.-,h and Gl,:lgow ;
and 900 by the Caledonian. 'I he Er,;:. Day in Glasgow
having occurred on the same clly, there was less ttttrac-
iion to visit that city than hitherto ; but on the North
finish Railway a source of amusement was found in
Gullane races, which took place on Thursday. The
vari )us churches were in general well filled."

The deduction from all this is too obvious to be
stereotyped. It reveals the perfect disinterestedness and
the inflexible consistency of the godly individuals called

Agnewites. Yet, as an additional token of their en-
lightenment we may observe that they have recently
exerted their energies to prevent the trammission of
the mails on all Sundays to and from Rothsay. Oh
those doomed days the steamboats shall no longer, if
they can help it, spoom across the Firth of Clyde on
such errands of Satan. Bute is to be closed against
the contamination of loving letters and impertinent
journals. The Sabbath, in that quarter at least, is
henceforth to be kept holy—a revival of the sanctity
and seclusion of the once famous Icolmkill. The
Sabbath ! And it is this day, encumbered with these
execrable and most un-Christian restrictions, which
is apostrophised by a Labourer's Daughter as The
Pearl of Days 1 The Pearl of Days, forsooth ! they
would soon render it the Curse of Weeks. But
i enough of this. The scruples of a few superstitious
persons are not going to overrule the rational mo-
rality of twenty-six millions of human beings in the
middle of the nineteenth century. The extra agita-
tion of the Sabbatarians is only leading the more ra-
pidly and the more inevitably to their own final dis-
comfiture.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Wednesday, being All Saints Day, was observed
as a strict holiday in Paris, and consequently the
majority of the journals did not appear. Among
those published was the Demecratie Pacifigue, which
states that several quarrels have occurred between
the soldiers of the Gardes Mobiles and the soldiers of
the Line, and that conflicts have, in many instances,
ensued in which the ouvriers took part against the
Gardes Mobiles. The Gerdes Mobiles were on
Wednesday confined to their barracks in the Fau-
bourg. Poissoniere to prevent the recurrence of these
collisions.

In consequence of a difference of opinion among
the several members of the Clubs of the Rue de Poi-
tiers and the Institute, they have determined that, as
clubs, they will abstain from recommending any
candidate.

M. TRIERS supports the pretensions of Lours NA-
POLEON BONAPARTE:, being moved thereunto by the
promise of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with, of
course, full power to " work the telegraph," asuusual.
Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON is already giving him-
self the airs of royalty—keeping himself aloof
from the profane vulgar, transacting all business
through the intervention of his cousin, who acts as a
sort of Prime Minister to him, holding levees, grant-
ing audiences, contracting loans, and drawing up lists
of his future Cabinet. One of these Ministerial lists
gives the Foreign Affairs, as we before
stated, to THIERS, the Interior to ODILLON
BAREOT, the Finance to FOULD, War to OUDI"
NOT, Marine /0 DUFETIT THOUARS, Commerce to
LEON FAUCHER, the Post-office to EMILE DE GI-
RARDIN, and the Prefecture of Police to LEON DE
MALLEVILLE. In fact, it is the Ministry of the old
Centre Gauche, which, presented by LOUIS PHILIPPE
to the people as a peace offering on the 24th of Fe-
bruary, was rejected by them with contempt. The
only addition being the appointment of M. EMILE DE
GIRARDIN to an office of trust—an addition not at
all calculated to add to the respectability or the sta-
bility of the proposed Bonaparte Cabinet.
General CHANGARNIER has published a letter, de-
claring that he will not permit himself to be nomi-
nated as a candidate for the Presidency of the
Republic.
A deputation of the wives of those who have been
condemned for taking part in the insurrection of June
went through the streets of Paris yesterday, intend-
ing to present a petition for a general amnesty to the
National Assembly. The procession was stopped at
the Pont de la Concorde by the police, and the peti-
tion was received by one of the officers and carried
to the Assembly, afer which the women quietly
dispersed.
The following are the candidates, as far as hitherto
known, for the vacant seats in the National Assem-
bly :—ln the Charente-Inferieure, Marshal BoGnacu
and M. PAILLET ; in the Tarn, the Abbe DE GENOUDE
and M. FOREST; in Corsica, M. E. DE GIRARDIN,
the Abbe DE GENOUDE, and LUCIEN BONAPARTE ; in
the Yonne, MM. ALEXANDRE DUMAS, FREDERICK
GAILLARDAT, and PINARD ; in Calvados, M. GUIZOT
is put forward, but without his own consent; no other
candidate has hitherto been started. The election
takes place on the 19th of November.
At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday the dis-
cussion on the revision of the Constitution was com-
menced. A motion by M. DEVILLE, to the effect
that the whole Constitution should be re examined
and re-voted by the Assembly, on the ground that
during the former discussion Paris was in a state of
siege, was, after a smart debate, withdrawn, and the
first eight paragraphs were agreed to. On the ninth
paragraph being proposed, M. FELIX PYAT moved,
as an amendment, that the clause recognising the
right to labour should be re-inserted. The amend-
ment was, after a sharp and angry debate, rejected
by a majority of 552, the numbers being—for the
amendment 86, against it 638. The discussion on the
revision of the Constitution had not concluded when
the post left.

BOURSE, PARIS, THURSDAY, Nov. 2.
TEIP.EE o'cLocx..--To-day there was again a heavy
fall at the Bourse, which is attributed entirely to the
uneasiness produced by the approaching election, and
the bad state of the finances of the Republic. After the
close of the Bourse the Five per Cents. fell to 67f. 40c.
For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have
fallen 40c. ; Five per Cents. 500. ; and the Lean, 75c.
For Money, the Three per Cents. have also fallen 40e. ;
, the Five per Cents. have fallen 55c.; and the Loan 75c. ;
Bons du Tifosor not quoted ; Bank of France Shares
have fallen 40c.; Belgian Bank Shares have fallen 5f.;
ditto Five per Cents. have fallen per cent. ; Spanish
Funds not quoted ; Roman has advanced per cent. ;
Rothschild's Receipts are at 79. Exchange on London
(30 days), 25 45 ; ditto (90 days), 25 27i. Railway
Shares have again declined; Orleans have fallen 31. 75c.,

The accounts which have been received at Madrid

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA, BOHEMIA, AND
HUNGARY.

We are still withoxt any direct communications
from Vienna. It appears, however, beyond a doubt
that it has been attacked and bombarded by WE I.
DUCIIGIIATZ, and that his troops have suffered se-
verely, and when the last accounts left had failed to
make themselves masters of the town. JELLACIIICH
has been compelled to retire, and the citizens are de,.
termined to destroy the city rather than surrender.
The defence of Vienna can only be paralleled by the
defence of Saragossa.
The Breslau Gazette, of the 29th ult., gives the
following letter from Vienna :—" A report was spread
that the city had surrendered to Prince WINDISCII-
GItATZ on the nth October, but this turns out
to be false, as appears by the following letter, dated
Lungerburg, Oct. 26 :—' The brave Viennese are
everywhere conquerors up to the present moment
they maintain a murderous fire. The Austrian
officers say, if it should continue they will not
have sufficient troops left to take the
city. There are only 150 men alive of the chasseurs
who attacked the city by the Prater. Yesterday,
between four and five o'clock, Prince WlNDlscu-
caxrz was forced to suspend the attack by the want
of powder for the small arms. lie asked an armistice

visions. The firing will recommence this evening,
and we expect a terrible night. WINDISCAGRATS is
continually pouring bombshells into the city., The
great steam-mills on the Danube and the large edifice
called the Swiss Buildings, have been burnt down.
The Viennese fight like lions. The Imperial Castle
(Burgen), the Bank, the University, and even the
Cathedral of St. Stephen, are all mined. JEI.LA•
Cinch has retired. The Imperial pioneers attempted
to carry a small redoubt near Florisdorf, but the
Viennese destroyed it."

The Berlin Deutsche Reform of the 30th publishes
in a supplement the following letter from Breslau, for
the authenticity of which, however, it will not pledge
itself, and which, even if authentic, is but the ex park
statement of one of the pupils of METTERNICH, who,
like his master, is no doubt exceedingly adroit in
" dressing up " a statement, but even, according to
this, the most favourable account for WINDISCHORATiII,
the Viennese have annihilated one batallion of his
army, and he is not yet in possession of the city•
The letter is as follows :

29,
" The following telegraphicßreslau dispatch was yesterday
sent to 011mutz, and has arrived here to-day by the pas-
senger train from Vienna:—
" General Wius to the Minister Von Wessenberg in
011mutz.
Yesterday, Oct. 28, at eleven o'clock, Field-Mar-
shal Windischgratz made an attack from all sides. The
battalion Schonhols, which, at the entrance of the In-
gerzeil, stormed the first barricade, which was guarded
by 12 guns, has been completely destroyed. The barri-
cade was afterwards carried by the Jagers and grena-
diers. The military have penetrated as far as the Karla
Theatre. The suburbs Louisentrasse and Franze Alice
are in flames. The leaders of the students have fled.'"
The Prussian Staata Anzieger, of October 31, says
the above is so far confirmed by authentic intelli-
gence that the bombardment and attack of the city
commenced on the morning of the 28th, soon after
ten o'clock. Respecting the events which imme-
diately preceded it we have received the following
intelligence from the environs of Vienna :
" Prince Windischgratz had twice extended the time
for deliberation—the last term expired on the evening of
the 27th. On that day there was an almost entire ces-
sation of arms. Two large fires were seen in the city
or its immediate vicinity. The Prince had notified to
the Communal Council that he should consider it re-
sponsible for all the damage which might be sustained
by the city from the necessary measures of violence.
Some individuals who escaped from the city with the
greatest difficulty, stated that the armed people forced
their way even into the inns, and forced strangers to
take part in the combat.
" The Hungarians were posted on the 27th ult., with,
it it said, 40,000 men, on the other side of the Leitha."
The Hanoverian Zeitung of the 30th, in the after-
noon, says, " We have just learnt, from undoubted
authority, that WINDISCHGRATZ has entered Vienna
and disarmed the Aula, and that JELLACRICR has
fallen back southwards; that the EMPEROR, in a ma-
nifesto, guaranteed the liberties promised to the city,
and the continuance of the Diet in Vienna." The
statement

a proof that the
In Preran the report was current on the 28th that
Vienna was bombarded ; but it was not generally
premature.
believed.
At Oderberg travellers, who arrived there from
Vienna on the 29th, stated that the terminus of the
Northern line was occupied by 5,000 men, and that
the first bombs were thrown into the city on the even-
ing of the 28th.
At Ratisbon the intelligence was very similar, with
the additional assertions, that the city was bombarded
nearly throughout the whole day ; that many streets
were on fire, and that the flames could be seen at a
distance of three miles off.
A later report, given by the Berliner Nachrichten,
as the last intelligence,:runs thus :—"From Florisdorf,
Oct. 29.—Several of the suburbs of Vienna are lying
in ashes. Negotiations have commenced."
The deputation from the Vienna Diet succeeded in
obtaining an audience of the EMPEROR at 011mutz on
the 28th. His MAJESTY refused to listen to their
protest against the adjournment of the Diet, but pro.
raised to re-consider his determination for its convo-
cation at lireinsir. The deputation had again set off,
but the Minister KRAUS had remained behind, and
was to follow by special train.
The Hungarians have come from Pesth to Pres-
burg with nine steamers and 18 tow- boats ; they had
on board about 8,000 scythemen, who were for the
third time approaching Vienna.
We also learn from 011inutz that the EMPEROR has

RATISBON, OCT. 31, r.m.—The Vienna train ar-
rived this morning at half-past nine o'clock, and
brought a traveller from thence on his way to Cra-
cow. He stated that he had succeeded in making his
escape from the city two days before, but gave us in-
formation as to what occurred there up to last night
at a late hour, which he had obtained from a Vienna
student. This young man stated that yesterday after-
noon he was taken prisoner by the soldiers, and was to
have been hanged, but happily for him he was known
to the major, and at his intercession, not only his life,
but his liberty was granted him, and he was imme-
diately sent under an escort to the railway station, to
be sent to his parents at Teschen.
The latest intelligence respecting Vienna was as
follows :—That four of the suburbs, namely, Lich-
tenthal, Landstrasse, Jageraeil, and Erdberg are in
flames, that the cannonade continued without inter-
mission on both sides throughout the day ; the troops
are in possession of the northern line, and have not
yet succeeded in taking any of the suburbs. In the
Jagerzeil a tremendous barricade has been erected,
defended by eight cannon and as many companies of
burghers. A perpetual fire is kept up against the
enemy, but they were beginning to husband the
powder. There was still a supply of provisions.
The western conduit, which is in the hands of the
enemy, has not been destroyed. The dead are bu-
ried in the glacis, as the churchyard is occupied by
the enemy.
Unfortunately, there has been an encounter in the
streets between the tri-coloured and the two-coloured
Burghers, in which ,the latter were overcome, after
they had set the streets on fire. This is, however, a
solitary instance, as otherwise great harmony prevails.
A captain in the National Guard has been hanged,
because he wanted to inform the enemy of an intended
sally from Nussdorf.
There is no want of money. The Bank has not
yet been attacked. 70,000 florins, which were
destined for the military, have fallen into the hands
of the National Guards.
JELLACHICH and AUERSPERG stand southwards
and WINDISCHGRATZ northwards.
The Polish Legion has had considerable losses a
the Prater—from GO to 70 dead.

PEROR to the Moravian Diet :
Zeitung contains the reply of the Ear

"I see with pleasure that the Aforavian Diet has full
confidence in my paternal sentiments and views for my
people. It ii extremely painful to me that the capital of
Vienna has become the theatre of such fearful disorders,
and that duty compels me to adopt severe measures for
the protection of the right-minded, and the restoration of
peace and legal order. Nevertheless, I cannot resign the
hope that it may yet be possible to lead back my capital
to
peace and obedience, without having recourse to ex-
treme measures."

The EMPEROR has also written an autograph letter
to the Vice-President WoGiLowsKY,
in reply to the
congratulation upon his MAJESTY'S arrival on his
national soil,
by a deputation of the Diet to Se-

Court and all the civil and military authorities, were
present.

PRUSSIA.

bled at Berlin, adopted, during the evening sitting
of the 22th ult., the following resolutions :—" 1. The
Assembly considers the cause of Vienna its own.
2. An appeal shall be made in the name of the
Assembly."

The Zeitungshalk, of the 30th ult., says that

posed an extraordinary sitting to deliberate on a
proposition concerning the events at Vienna, con-
ceived as follows :—" To invite the Ministry to use
for the protection of liberty, compromised at Vienna,
all the means of the State." The motion was car-
ried by 181 to 118.

DENMARK.

OPENING OF THE DIET.-THE KING'S

SPEECH.

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 25.—His Majesty the KING
opened the Diet on the 21Id with the following speech
from the throne :
" Men of Denmark,
" It is a great joy and comfort to me, for the first
time, to be surrounded by the elected representatives of
my faithful Danish people.
" The love and unanimity with which they upheld the
cause sacred to me and the country, in the perplexing
days since I have ascended my father's throne, are to me
a pledge that a better time will soon dawn upon our suf-
fering country, which has been so severely visited by
violence and dissension.
" With a deeply-felt remembrance of these past days,
I now proceed to discuss with the representatives of my
people that Constitution which, by my free Royal re-
solve, I promised them, by which it is my desire, my
hope, and my pride to consolidate the ancient glory and
happiness of Demark.
" I submit to you, by my Ministers, to whom I re-
serve the free access to the Assembly, and the right of
taking the lead therein, if you find it necessary, the
draft of this law of the Constitution ; and I rely im-
plicitly on your faithful and energetic co-operation, in
order that a conclusive arrangement of this important
affair may be accomplished by the present Diet, who
are here assembled for that purpose. Should this, how-
ever, not be the case, it is nevertheless not my intention
to let that Constitution come into operation until I hare
first submitted it to a new Diet.
" May the blessing of God rest upon you and your
endeavours, so that our beloved country may obtain
honour, happiness, and peace."
At the conclusion of this speech the whole As-
sembly gave a long and reiterated shout of " Live
Kongen I" The KING returned thanks, and quitted
the hall amidst continued cheers.
On the 29th the project of the new Constitution
was published. It is composed of eight sections,
divided into thirty paragraphs. The legislative
power is to be exercised by the K:NO and by the
Diet. The royal law of succession remains in force,
and can only be altered by a majority of two-thirds
of the Diet. In default of a successor to the throne,
the Diet will elect a King and fix the order of suc-
cession. The electoral body to embrace all natives of
thirty years of age, with a good reputation.

MON E Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bales, with a steady market for most sorts.—The railway
share market was lower again.
The following remarks upon the state of the London
colonial markets are furnished by Messrs. Wilkinson and
Jewesbury:—
" In the foraign and colonial markets during the early
part of last month there was a large amount of business
done; the quantity of produce brought forward was
immense; dealers, however, refused to purchase at any
material advance in prices, but at previous rates they
bought freely, and business generally assumed a better
tone. This state of things was, unfortunately, quite
dispelled upon receipt of news respecting the disastrous
condition of affairs in Germany, which had a most de-
pressing effect upon the markets. The arrivals continue
large, and the stocks are greater than they were at this
time last year. The deliveries for home consumption have
considerably increased, which is satisfactory. Importers
have evinced a strong desire to realise,, even at declining
prices ; yet dealers purchase only for their immediate
wants ; indeed, experience has shown for some time
past this has been the only way of safely transacting
business under the almost constant downward tendency
of prices. From the manufacturing districts in Lan-
cashire the accounts aro rather more favourable within
the last week, and prices are improving ; the chief part
of the business now doing is for the India and China
markets, the last advices thence being considered most
favourable, as also those from the United States. From
the woollen districts the reports are, upon the whole,
satisfactory, although there has been a considerable
falling off since our last."
From Manchester we have a report of the manufacturing
markets, from which we give the following:—"Consider-
ing the character of the month, its transactions have
again been principally for exports, the demand for the
country trade having throughout it been of a limited
extent, although exceeding very considerably that which
might have been expected. There is, as yet, no material
increase of stocks, on the contrary, with a few excep-
tions in both cloth and twist, they may be pronounced
generally light, and that in the absence of any diminu-
tion in the production. Prices, as we stated in our last
report that they probably would be, are in every instance
lower than what they were at the end of„, September, and
the generality of them ranging below the lowest rates
previously known. To-day they have not only become
firmer, owing to a slight advance in the Liverpool Cotton
Market yesterday, but in some instances a trifling ad-
vance was asked and obtained."
The Hamburgh mail has arrived, and brings intelli-
gence of the conflict having commenced at Vienna, whe-
ther to terminate in a bombardment is a question yet to
be solved, and respecting which all parties here, in any
way connected with Germany, are extremely anxious.
The Corn Market is firm to-day, but there is no alter-
ation in prices.
In the Colonial and general produce markets there is
more activity to-day, but the sellers meet the buyers
too freely to allow of any material improvement in prices,
or of a small advance only that can be deemed permanent.
The Funds have been higher again this morning, the
effect of' the Bank of England discount reduction being
faveurable. Consols have been done as high as 86i for
Money, and are since 86+ to +. Exchequer-bills have
touched 395. to 435. premium. Bank Stock has been 189+.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised
854 to 86.
In the Foreign Market the transactions have not been
extensive. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 1111,
and the Three per Cents. 23i I. Mexican are 214 1.
Brazilian New Bonds have been 73, arid Peruvian 32.
Russian Stock has been quoted 99k. Belgian Four-and-
a-Half per Cents. are 71 ex dividend.
The Railway Share Market is very good, although
there may be scarcely so much life in it. The York
lines have been in request at enhanced values, the
North British and Midland also, and the North-
Western fluctuate less. The Great Western are quiet,
and likewise Eastern Counties. Caledonian dearer.
