TUSCANY.

Intelligence up to the 6th instant has arrived from
Florence.

The Bishop Of MULTEPULCIANO (Tuscany) issued
a pastoral letter to his diocese on the id instant,
calling upon the people to take up arms in obedience
to their SOVEREIGN and the distress of their country.
GUERRA ZZI, the ultra-democrat, had no chance of
attaining Ministerial power ; and as Baron BETTING
RICCASOLI, Mayor of Florence, persisted in refusing
to organize a Cabinet, the GRAND DUKE insisted that
the Ministers who had resigned, among whom are
some of the most esteemed statesmen, as Counts
RIDOLFI and BALDOSSARONI, should remain at the
head of affairs. The Ministers having declared that
they would not take power unless they could calcu-
late on the sincere support of the representatives of
the nation, the two Chambers held an extraordinary
sitting in the night of the sth, and passed by accla-
mation a vote of confidence in the Ridolfi Cabinet.
That Cabinet accordingly withdrew its resignation,
and the GRAND DUKE published the following pro-
clamation on the 6th :
" Tuscans ! if the force of arms alone could com-
pletely preserve us from the dangers which threaten us
so nearly, it would undoubtedly be a generous resolu-
tion to place all hope of salvation in arms alone. But at
present we should not have the certainty of being able to
resist, alone and ill prepared, a conquering enemy, who
has already invaded the territory of two neighbouring
states, without fearing the obstacles which may check
him. All hope, however, is not lost, and victory may
again como to crown the confederated arms.

—"
The forces of Italy are not exhausted in consequence
of the reverses sustained. The encouragements of Eu-
rope, which animated her in such a glorious enterprise,
have not abandoned her. As for ourselves, we do not
despair of the destinies of Italy, and Wt) are decided to
persevere in the cause which has already made us asso-
ciate our arms to those of the King Charles Albert, from
srbarh z.dpazi thstanding .out reurses, we can never sepa-
sustained, and to save the country from ran unforeseen
danger.

"In thus acting, we have in nowise the:intention of
compromising; honour, but to maintain-intact our forces
for better chances. The means are offered us in the
spontaneous mediation of England and France; this me-
diatiOnl.gives us the confidence that the frontiers of our
state will not be violated it interior order be maintained,
and if the measures which the Government must and
desires to take, and which it has already taken, for de-
fence, be executed without agitation. My Government,
strong by the vote of the National Assemblies, has be-
lieved it right for the common welfare to accept the
amicable offers of the said two powers.
Tuscans! The moment is solemn; a single act of
imprudence might envelop the country in fatal calami-
ties, the consequences of which could not be forgotten
during our whole lives. Let us be united by the ties of
concord to sustain the severe trials which the times im-
ithyotiteatousyouer
anldshtoalml
institu-
tions which have consolidated public liberty among us.
aailnwtaayitsi btheew
tpoosseusotnaitinsa. nlatrioepneaal
On your part you promise me to labour in an efficacious
manner to sustain and maintain the majesty of the laws,
in order that the regeneration of Italy may not be ex.
posed anew to ektreme perils.
" The destinies of the country are in our hands. I
will see that honour receives no injury ; but, for our
part, let us save what after honour we have most dear.
To the arms of the citizens I confide the guardianship
of order ; let them recal to mind that in courageously
resisting whoever may endeavour to excite disturbances,
they will combat the enemies of the country ; for who-
ever desires disturbances desires the foreigner, and with
him all the evils of a provoked invasion.
" Given at Florence, the 6th August, 1848.

" LEOPOLD.
(Counter-signed) " Count RIDOLFI, President of
the Council of Ministers."

THE DEATH OF MR. GEORGE

STEPHENSON.
It is with much concern that we announce the decease
of Mr. George Stephenson, the celebrated engineer. He
died at his establishment in Derbyshire, on Saturday
last, aged 67. Few men have obtained, or deserved, a
higher reputation. lie rose from the humblest life from
the elasticity of his native talent overcoming the obsta-
cles of narrow circumstances and even confined educa-
tion. In his profession he was as happy and ingenious
in his discoveries as generous in imparting the benefit of
them to them to the world. In the history of railway
enterprise and movement the name of George Stephen-
son will live.

The following Biography is from the Post-office
Railway Directory, for 1848

" Stephenson, George, Civil Engineer, father of
Robert Stephenson, Esq., Civil Engineer. The father
of the railway engineers, whose improvements of the
locomotive have greatly contributed to the progress of
the system. Director of the Norfolk Railway, and late
chairman of the Dunstable Railway; was a Director of
the York and North-Midland Railway; Engineer of the
Whitehaven Junction Railway, and Manchester and
Buxton Railway; constructed the London and Birming.
ham Railway, York and North-Midland Railway, and
many other works, but of late years has resigned his
chief civil engineering business to his son. An exten-
sive locomotive manufacturer at Newcastle, and has
supplied great numbers of locomotives both here and on
the continent. Justly prides himself on having, by in-
dustry and genius, raised himself, from a humble sta-
tion. Was a coal viewer, took an interest in the deve-
lopment of the railway system, engaged in the great
Liverpool and Manchester contest, and produced the
best locomotive ; from that moment took the lead in
railway" engineering. . Knight of Leopold of Belgium
(for railway services); F.R.S. Has been employed in
France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Spain. A large
colliery owner, particularly at Clay Cross,; 24, Great
George-street, Westminster, Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
Tapton-house, Derbyshire."
We also copy the following account of his worthy
son and successor:—

" Stephenson, Robert, Civil Engineer, F.R.S., M.P.
for Whitby; born 1103 ; only son of George Stephen-
son, Esq., Civil Engineer ; married the daughter of

An omnibus is now running, we are informed, be-
tween the Ealing station on the Great Western and the
Kingston station on the South Western Railways, pass-
ing through Hampton Court, Teddington, Twickenham,
Richmond, and Brentford. Persons desirous of travelling
on either of the above lines, living in the forenamed
localities, or travellers passing from one line to the other,
can now, by adopting this conveyance, avoid the delay,
igconvenience, and expense of coining to London.
OPENING OF THE MALDON, WITHAY7 AND BRAIN-
TREE RAILWAY.—This line railway, the property of
the Eastern Counties Company, was opened yesterday
for public use. It crosses the main line, or rather
branches from it on each side at Witham, the portion to
Maldon being about six miles in length, and the branch
to Braintree eight miles. The works are now very
heavy. At present it will be only worked for goods'
traffic, in order that the road might be properly consoli-
dated for passenger trains.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last night, at a quarter-past
ten o'clock, an accident occurred, attended with loss of
life, to a man connected with Bartholomew's Hospital.
It appears that the deceased, who was rather in liquor,
was proceeding to the City in a Clapham omnibus,
which on passing through the Elephant and Castle toll-
gate came in contact with a Brixton omnibus coming in
the contrary direction. The deceased was thrown from
the roof, and he was carried into the surgery of Mr.
Thomas, London-road, whose assistant, with Mr. Fair-
brother, a neighbouring surgeon, did all in his power;
but the deceased was past human assistance; he died in
a very few minutes from the time of his fall.
MONEY MARHET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is' 1 1 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of
3Z 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.42; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.321, it follows that gold is 0.38 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.9 k; and
,the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.8,
it follows that gold is 0.69 per cent. dearer in Ham-
burgh than in London.

MONEY and COMMER.CIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE.
In the Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday the sales
were 4,000 bales at about previous rates. Shares were

The prospect of fine weather has a favourable effect I
in the City, and if it could be insured would exercise
even an important influence, so much do our men of
business look to it. The great question now, how-
ever, is whether the potato disease has so far extended as
to be incureable where it has made its appearance. On
this head our accounts are not of a decisive character,
but of the injury done there can be no question.
The accounts from France respecting the harvest are
favourable, but there is a less ample yield than was ex •
pocted.
From the commercial towns of France we have better
advices, but there is no improvement yet in the advices
from other parts of the continent.
The New York and Canada letters and papers are not
of very great interest, but the pressure in the money
market continued, concurrently with a very dull trade
in the United States, as is usual at this season of the
year. The crops of grain and cotton are so abundant,
and prices rule so moderate in America, that we may
expect fair supplies; although the rate of exchange is
already more in favour of the New York merchant,
being reduced to 1091 and 109. That Europe cannot
suffer without America being affected we may judge by
the following extract:—
" The whole of Europe is in a terrible condition, and
our only hope is, that Great Britain may escape the
blast which has swept from one end of the Continent to
the other with such devastating effect. If England
escape, we shall continue to find extensive markets for
our products, and our prosperity will be partially pre-
served. Our markets on the Continent have almost
become extinct, so that the worst in that particular has
already been realised; but, every week or month, con-
sumption in that section of the world is restricted or
limited—so much the more injurious must be the revo-
lution causing such a state of things. With the excep-
tion of Great Britain, our European export trade has
been literally annihilated; but unfortunately, our import
trade with these countries has not met with a similar fate,
but on the contrary, has rather increased than other-
wise. Importers and speculators in this country have
taken advantage of the financial embarrassments growing
out of the revolution, which the manufacturers of France
and Europe generally have laboured under, and have pur-
chased of them for cash goods at one half their cost, and
have filled our markets. A portion of the specie which
has been shipped from this port within the last four
months went abroad for this purpose, and while our
exports had become reduced to the lowest limit, and ex-
change drawn upon previous shipments of produce, was
• w .----•-gtedP millions of dollars of gold and
silver ere going forward t. _ uutua
not be obtained on tee usual credit. In this way, our
whole foreign trade has become deranged, and we have
thus far borne the brunt of the commercial revulsions
and political revolutions in Europe."
The increase in the tonnage of vessels arrived at
Quebec, up to July 27 this year, is 162 tons, as compared
with the corresponding period of 1847.
The Funds have been very steady to-day, but are re-
pressed by the uncertainty respecting continental affairs.
Consols have been 86 to 861 for transfer, and 86+ to
891 for Account. Exchequer-bills have been 325. to
355. premium. Bank Stock is worth 197 to 199.
The speculators are rather anxious about to-morrow,
when it is expected that the Bank may possibly advance
the rate of discount. We do not by any means, how-
ever, regard this at present as a matter of certainty.
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish
Five per Cents. are 111 to 12 ; the Three per Cents.
21t to 22 ; Portuguese Four per Cents. 17 to 14 ;
Brazilian 70 to 72 ; and Mexican 16i to 16i. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 44+.
Railway Shares continue rather flat. This is settling
day in the market.
