NAPLES.

Tlle King of NAPLES, after having accepted the
mediation of Fiance and Eng►land in the affairs
Sicily, has without reason ibsigned, repudiated his
iormer acceptance, and ordered the immediate re-
sumption of hostilities.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Elizabeth Richard on, a woman of notorious character,
was placed before Mr. Hint-ham, charged with annoying
and assaulting Mr. Archibald _Hamilton, short-hand
writer and reporter, residing in Bedford-street, South-
wark-bridge-road.

The complainant stated, that last night, about seven
o'clock, he was proceeding through Leicester•square,
when the prisoner came up to him, and annoyed him by
her importunities. lle desired her to go away. She
refused, and calling him by the foulest epithets, struck
him several blows in the face. A constable at that
moment came up, and took the prisoner into custody.
In defence, the prisoner said that the complainant in-
sulted her in a very indelicate manner, and because she
resented the insult he gave her in charge.
Complainant indignantly denied the prisoner's asser-
tion, and Mr. Bingham committed her to the House of
Correction for seven days, with hard labour.

LORD J. RUSSELL.—The Premier, after enjoying
himself for three days at Inverury Castle, us the guest of
the Duke and Duchess of Argyle, left on Friday morn-
ing last, via Dslmally, on a.visit to Mr. M`Dougall, of
Dunolly Castle, the lineal representative of the Lords of
Lorne. His Lordship intend( dto leave Oban on Satur
day morning on a trip to St4ffa and lons. His Lord-
ship's subsequent movemt nts were not precisely known;
but it was expected that before leaving this part of the
country, they would visit Glencoe and the Black Mount,
where he would be received by the Marquis of Breadal-
bane. Lord John performs his marine trips in the Ban-
shee, one of the swiftest of the Government steamers.

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 2.—The royal mail steam •
ship Great Western, under the command of Captain
Clarke, left this afternoon for the West Indies, with the
usual West India mails. She had about eighty passen-
gers, and a large and valuable cargo, amongst which was
specie to the value of 44,2631. The Ocean Steam Navi-
gation Company's steam-ship Washington, having left
New York on the 20th tilt., may be looked for in the
course of tomorrow.

Some of the oldest dry goods jobbing-houses in New
Yoi k had suspended ps) merit, but most of the suspen-
sioni were of new houses, which had not been in busi-
ness above two or three years, and overtraded.
The commerce of New Orleans during the year end-
ing the Ist September amounted in value to 79,779,151
dollars, against 90,033,256 dollars in 1846-7.
The Corn Market in Canada had been higher, but
sympathised with that of New York, and became flatter
before the date of our present advices.
The accounts from Calcutta, Bombay, &e., have not
belied the expectation excited by the previous arrival.
A very fair sale was obtained for cotton and woollen
manufactures, metals, and other articles imported from
England, while a decline in freights and an easy state
of things in the money market would assist the
produce markets. The Union Bank affair, like too
many other similarly disgraceful occurrences, was
expected to sink into comparative oblivion, though
not to be soon forgotten by the unfortunate
shareholders. One would think that shareholders
generally must be the most good-natured people
in the world to put up so tamely with such malpractices,
and it would almost seem desirable to appoint a public
prosecutor of delinquent or even careless directors and
managers. They should answer with their purse, if not
in their person.
The following brief reference to the state of the pro•
duce markets during the last two or three weeks is fur-
nished by Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury:—
" Latterly a better business has been done, at full
rates; importers have shown every disposition to meet
the views of the buyers, and have supplied the markets
freely; the stocks continue to accumulate, notwithstand-
ing the increased deliveries for home consumption, which
have been considerable. From the manufacturing dis-
tricts the accounts continue favourable, particularly from
the woollen districts, where large orders are in course of
execution, chiefly for the Home trade. The state of the
markets, as received by the last accounts from India,
which, though they show an improved demand
for British manufactures, at better prices, are not so
encouraging as at first appeared, the low rate of ex-
change, viz. Is. 9d. to Is. 91d. more than compensating
for the advance upon goods ; this, together with the
gloomy aspect of affairs on the continent, have caused
prices for cotton yarn, &c., to give way a little, the
German merchants being almost totally disinclined to
operate under present circumstances."
The English Stock Market has been very dull to-day,
but tolerably firm considering the importance which
some would attach to the state of affairs at Naples, but
which we have no doubt will prove " a nine days'
wonder," and result in the re-acceptance of mediation,
supposing, which may be doubted, that such has been
positively rejected since it was acquiesced in. Consols
have been 86 to for Transfer, and 864 for Account.

310 N ;Y and COMMERCIAL
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet.
Sales, 3,500 to 4,000 bales. American sorts realised
31d. to 6,1. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business
was done, but without any improvement in prices.
We have voluminous accounts, per Hibernia, from the
United States and Canada, but we need only add a few
!items to what appears in another colamn of The Sun.
The exports of specie from New York during the
week to Sept. 16 amounted to 171,000 dollars, chiefly to
France and Bermuda. The exports of goods during
the same period was estimated at 605,000 dollars, of
which 183,000 dollars to England, and 47,000 dollars
to France. Thu exports to the latter country
were increasing. In the /mice of State Stocks
there was no particular alteration, and the dealings were
limited. The amount of Government Stock (the new
loan) issued on foreign account was nearly 2,000,000
dollars in six vreeeks. This amount was issued direct
from the Treasury, besides what had been bought in the
open m irket, and the discredit lately thrown upon
European securities has no doubt contributed to that
result. It is supposed that about 5,000,000 dollars will
be held by foreigners, and as the loan is for the federal
Government, not for any particular state, the security
is undeniable. Still we could wish that our capi-
talists sought employment for their surplus assets nearer
home.
