his envoy in England to support the indissoluble
union of Schleswig with Denmark, at the conference
about to be held on the subject in London.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

The correspondent of the National writes as fol
lows from Milan :

" Whilst Austria is throwing a thick veil before the
eyes of France, and lulling her to sleep by promises as
vague as they are vain, she has recourse to the most
cruel measures to crush all: vitality in Lombardy, and
all sympathy between the Lombardians aed the French,
by making the former believe that France is aware of
the treatment which they endure, and that she does not
oppose, because she approves of them. There is scarcely
a day passes that blood is not shed at Milan, at Brescia,
Como, and Pavia. The Austrians are not contt nt with
secretly shooting the citizens, but they beat them, to
death publicly.

" Martial law still exists, so that the latter punish-
ment is inflicted at the pleasure of the commanding
officers.

" The cannon are planted ready to fire on Milan, and
emigration continues. There is not above one in a
hundred of the inhabitants who now remain in that
city."

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA.
A letter from Bucharest, which was received at
Vienna on the 11th, says that Russia has signified to
the Wallachian Government that it must dissolve
itself immediately. Russia announces that she hss
agreed with Turkey on this subject, and that in case
of a refusal a united army of the two powers would
enter Wallachia.

" The Sultan having refused to receive the Wallachian
deputation, the Provincial Government has replied to
Suleyman Pacha, that they will respect the wishes of
the Sultan; as to the Russian note, no answer; has
been given to it."

DEATH OF LORD GEGRGE
BEN TINCK.

NOTTINGHAM, FRIDAY, 9.45 A.M.

A messenger from Welbeck Abbey has just ar-
rived, announcing the death of Lord George Bentinck.
His Lordship left the Abbey, on foot and unattended,
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, for Thoresby-
park, the seat of the Earl of Manvers, where he had
an engagement to dine. Not arriving, inquiries were
made, and-at nine o'clock last night he was found on
the footpath quite dead, having evidently expired from
apoplexy. Thoresby is about six miles from Welbeck.

REGISTRATIONS. - (THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
Mr. M'Christie proceeded with the revision of the
parish lists for Aldersgate Within and Without, and
Aldgate and Billingsgate, but no case of any importance
came on during the morning.

EXTENSIVE FINE AT DETTFORD.—This morning,
at five o'clock, an alarming fire broke out on the rre-
mises of Mr. Miller, licensed victualler, Crown and
Anchor, No. 81, New street, Deptford. The fire was
discovered by the police-constable on the beat, and the
inmates and those in the adjoining houses happily
escaped. An express was forwarded by the police to
Mr. Braidwood, who, with the men under him, quickly
arrived on the spot, but unfortunately, from the want of
a sufficient supply of water for nearly three quarters of
an hour, the element gained such an ascendancy, that
before it could be subdued the premises of Mr. Miller
were burnt down, those of Mr. Elnor, No. 80, exten-
sively damaged, as well as those of Mr. Langdale and
Mr. Watson. The cause of the fire has not yet been
ascertained, and it is not known to what extent the pro-
perty is insured. The deficiency of water (from the
Kent Water-works) was attributed to the alterations
making in the reservoirs at the Deptford station.
An accident which might have been attended with
serious consequences took place this morning at the,
Thames Tunnel Pier, and was only prevented by the
intrepid and praiseworthy conduct of Samuel Sims, the
Captain of the Watermen s steam-boat No. 12. It ap-
pears that on stopping at the above pier to embark and
land passengers, a gentleman and lady, with a child
about seven years old, were seen hurrying down towards
the boat, and the gentleman, who was carrying the
child, had just time to cross the browse, whenthew(?rn
was given to " go on," immediately after which he o
dis-
covered that it was going to Woolwich instead f-
Lon-
don, and made an attempt to regain the
,
pier,s

BANIING Houas.—ln addition to the other bank-
ing firms who have announced their determination to
follow the example of the Bank of England, the City
bankers, and the joint-stock banks, in limiting their
hours of business, the Commercial Bank of London, in
Henrietta-street, have given notice that on and after
Monday, the 2d of October next, the hour of closing will
be four o'clock, instead of five o'clock, as at present.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpo,•l yesterday was
heavy. Sales 4,000 bales. Railway Shares were better,
and in some instances improved considerably.
Recent advices from Equador state that the party of
General Flores, who was daily expected in the republic,
was becoming very strong, and that all appearances
were in favour of a revolution breaking out, in which
the adherents of this remarkable man would stand a
fair chance of success. In the meantime the authorities
were taking severe measures against them.
The Belgian Government has prolonged, until the end
of December, the permission to import cattle and grain
free of duty.

The advices from the continent this morning are of a
very unsatisfactory character, and cause a renewal of the
anxiety felt concerning the " settling down" of foreign
political affairs. The hope with respect to Germany
is that a good understanding between Austria and
Prussia will serve to keep the elements of nationality
together, for as to the ability of the Central Govern-
ment to maintain itself without the aid of those powers,
no one for a moment entertains the idea. At Paris also
matters aro not looking well.
The proceedings which took place yesterday
at the Bank of England meeting necessarily ex-
cite a good deal of discussion, and much dif-
ference of opinion. It is curious, however, that
during the animated and varied debate which occurred,
no one duly enforced cpo►n the attention of those present
the absence of any claim of existing proprietors to that
part of the reserve accumulated before they bought the
investment, whatever right they may have to recent ad-
ditions. Mr. Fielder goes great lengths when he con-
tends that the Bank is not called upon to keep any re-
serve, for it is mainly to the knowledge of its great
strength in this respect that the establishment has
owed its safety in periods of mistrust and panic. For-
tunately, however, the majority of the proprietors will
not go with Mr. Fielder, although they may think
3,000,0001 sufficient as a "rest." The present proprie-
tors did not save the rest, it is now the accumulation of a
long series of years, and they must be cautious not to do
anything which will stimulate the directors to force out
the notes and bring about fluctuations in the value of
money. Public considerations de nand this, as well as
private interests.

- There has been an exceedingly quiet market to-day
for the English Securities, and the quotations, although
rendered " fiat" upon the foreign news, have scarcely
varied beyond the " turn" of buyers and sellers. Con-
sols have been 86 to 86k for Transfer, and 86k / for Ac-
count. Exchequer-bills have realised 30s. premium.
In the Foreign Market the only securities dealt in
have been—Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. at 74 ;
Dutch Two- and-a-Half per Cents. at 441 to 454; and
the Four per Cents. at 711.
Railway Shares are looking tolerably good again.
Decidedly higher prices have been paid for Great
Western, but North-Western, Eastern Counties, South-
Eastern, Midland, and the York lines are about th•
same as yesterday. South-Western are dearer. Brighton
have been 264 to 27.
No business has been done in Banks or Mines.
