(From the Morning Advertiser.

For the last few months, whenever the question of j
Naples has been brought on the surface, we have not I
failed to allude to the underhand activity of certain
Muratist agents, who endeavour to " improve the occa•
sion" for their own and their master's advantage. Our
information respecting those dynastic plots wa4 of a
nature to be safely relied on ; consequently our language
has uniformly been that of denunciation, from which we
did not even shrink when the semi-official organs of
France undertook to disown the connection of Prince
Murat with the dealings of a foreign faction at Naples.
Today we are able to acquaint our readers that the
statements we have distinctly put forward months ago
are fully corroborated. We have before us a clear and
precise Muratist programme, extracted from an Italian
Review which is known to be in intimate relation with
the Pretender Prince. Though,. of course, intended to
benefit the cause of the latter, this programme, we are
sure, will have a diametrically opposite effect with the
immense majority of the Italians, as well as with the
people of this country. It will powerfully contribute to
reveal the ambitious plans of a French dynastic clique,
and go far in acting as a warning to all friends of free-
dom of the dangers that await them if, in escaping from
the Bourbonio Scylla, they fall into the Muratist Cha-
rybdis. It may, therefore, be interesting to give a suc-
cinct resume of this recent manifesto, as it is the first
public acknowledgment of detigne hitherto (lily hatched
in secrecy.
The writer of the Manifesto commences with intro-
ductory remarks on the late Russian war, and the
complications which have sprung up since the Conclusion
of peace at Paris. In carrying out this revitw, he ar•
rives in due time at the position of the Two Sieilies,
gKbilogck ofthese interests,
to Naples, "like
whose Sing be denounces as an obstacle to the exten
sion of progress, and as an impediment to the develop-
ment of industry and commerce. France and E egland,
the writer continues, have their trade and
interestsindustrialahlel omtub se tr bt

theirbthijen path, and !f he and his
race hurled from the throne, a necessary sacrifice to the
fraternity of the two Western nations.
From this introduction one might be inclined to ex-
pect some very liberal propositions,—the more so as the
writer, in the sequence of his strictures, does not, even
scruple to attack Austria, and to advise the expultio a of
that Power from Italy. However, the conclusions he
' arrives at are of a very different character to the seeming
purport of his prefatory remarks. Re suddenly makes a
bold transition from the cf mercantile interest" and the

CHINA•

The Overland China Mail, of Sept. 13th, says:—
We are told that Lee Mmg Mo, formerly an
actor at, and afterwards notcrious for his share in
the plundering of, Fah Shan, succeeded, on the
24th of last month, in burning the Imperial fleet
at the city of Wu-chau district, on the eastern bor-
der of Kwang Si. One of tha Imperialist officers
in command escaped into the city, but the other is
missing, and is supposed to have shared the fate of
a considerable number of his men, who were
drowned. _
We are not aware =that Lee Ming‘Mo has any
connection whatever with T'aeping Wang. Report

NEUCHATEL.

The Burbd, in allusion to the question of Neu-
chatel, states that the Federal Council has
resolved to draw up a detailed memorial on the
subject, to be laid before the Congress. General
Dufour and the inspector of the Federal artillery
have, it adds, been sent for to Berne in order to
give their advice on a new organisation of the
Federal army in divisions and brigades, and on
the creation of a general Staff. The plan of this
organisation will shortly be laid before the Federal
Council and rendered public.

A N:

Ew DODGE.—A trick was played off a few days
ago at the fair of Breante (Seine Interienre.) A well.
dressed gentleman sauntering about with a valuable gold
headed cane in his hand was stopped by a wretched-
Icoking man, who dragged himself painfully along on
crutches, and piteously implored charity. The gentle.
man, moved to compassion, generously gave the beggar
a piece of silver. " How can you be so foolish," cried a
man standing by, "that fellow is an impostor, and no
more lame than you are. Just lend me yonr cane for a
minnte, and by means of a sound thrashing I will con-
vince you of the truth of what I say." The gentleman
mechanically let the man take the cane, and the beggar,
throwing down the crutches, ran off as fast as he could.
The other, amidst roars of laughter from the bystanders,
ran after him, menacing him with the cane ; and so they
ran a considerable distance, when they turned aside into
the town, and were seen no more. The gentleman waited
for some time expecting to see the man return with his
cane, but the'expectation was in vain; it was then clear
that the whole scene had been an affair concerted between
a pair of adroit rogues. The gentleman had nothing for
it but to walk home, feeling very foolish at having al-
owed himself to be so victimised.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 24th contains the de-
cree, mentioned by telegraph, which fixes the float-
ing debt at 640,000,000 reals. The report of the
President of the Council (Narvaez) on which the
decree is founded, and which is published in the
Gazette, sets forth various reasons to show that the
amount of 440,000,000 reals, at which the floating
debt had been fixed was insufficient ; it besides de-
clares that the receipts put down in the budget for
the present year are notoriously insufficient to meet
the obligations of the government, and that conse-
quently the latter is preparing plans for establish-
ing " permanent taxes and revenues." The minis-
terial papers publish a declaration " by authority"
to the effect that, whatever the opinions of the
present Minister of Finance on economic questions
may be, he is convinced that the government owes
protection to national manufacturers, and that con-
sequently the Catalonian manufacturers have no-
thing to fear from him. Owing to some differences
of opinion with the Government, the municipality
of Madrid had talked cf giving in its resignation,
but after an interview with the Minister of the
Interior it abandoned its design. The nature of
the dissension is not stated.

BAYMARKET THEATRE.

The great success which attended the resuscitation of
'The Inconstant" and " Wild Oats," with Mr. Mur-
doch as the hero, probably induced Mr. Buckstone to
essay another revival last night, that of Reynolds' "The
Dramatist," in which Mr. Murdoch also sustained the
chief character. The piece was, on the whole, extremely
well acted ; whilst Mr. Buckstone, Mr. Murdoch, and
Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam, as Ennui, Vapid, and Marianne,
were especially admirable. The curtain fell amid enthu-
siastic applause ; and the general result of this new
experiment upon the theatrical taste of the present day
may therefore be described as felicitous. The perfor-
mances on this occasion were for the benefit of that most
spirited and intelligent artiste, Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam,
who has been for some time past an established favourite
with the Haymarket audience.

DEATH OF THE COUNTESS DE SALIS.—The Countess de
Sails died on the 27th inst. at Avignon, in the south of
France. Her ladyship was at the time on her way to
Rome, where she proposed to pass the winter. .

EXPORTS.,

Cotton wool continues scarce, as owing to the late
fall of rain arrivals were impeded. The weather is, how-
ever, clearing up, and immediately after the termination
of the Elephanta we look forward to larger supplies,
zontracts for arrivals being daily made. Prices of all
descriptions have risen.
Sheep's Wool—Prices have declined, the stocks in the
market beit,g of very inferior quality.
Opium has been in good demand, and prices had ad-
vanced for Mundleseer to 1,115 r. and Wore co 1,110 r.,
but they have since declined to I,loBr. and I,llor. per
chest respectively.
Coffee—Malabar is scarce. Mocha stock moderate
and in fair inquiry.
Oil Seeds—Linseed is scarce. Contracts to arrive can
be made at 4 6 16th, delivery between the Ist and 31st
of December. Of rape there is little in the market of
Scinde, and of Guzerat none. Contracts can be made
or the latter at 4,1 to arrive in all December. Small
supplies of Teel and Niger are coming in.
Tonnage—Freights have been steady, and kept firm
owing to frequent reports of Government requiring ton-
nage for transport to the Per•ian Gulf. For present
shipment to London and Liverpool we quote 21. 10d.
per ton ; to China dull at 7rs. Ban. per candy.
Exchange—A good amount of business has been done
for this steamer at rates varying from 2s. 11.1. to 2s.

" Facts like these should be instructive to every nation ' •
the principle on which they rest is applicable to all. The
same results would follow in all. In holding out a prac-
tical example to the world Great Britain desires only the
prosperity and progress of all; she would rejoiee in an
universal increase of industry and wealth ; she points out
with confidence the way they may be obtained, and would
exult in the blessings which would accruo therefrom to
our common humanity.
" The Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Man-
chester apologises for obtruding this feeble epitome of its
principles and opinions upon the attention of this enlight-
ened Congress, and begs to be forgiven if, in its anxiety to
enforce that which it believes to be the truth, it has ex-
ceeded the limits of a proper discretion. If such an error
has been committed the Congress will kindly ascribe it to
the fervency of the wish that Belgium should advance in
prosperity, happiness, and wealth ; and animated by. this
aspiration this chamber respectfully asks to be permitted
to express a hope that the Free Trade Association of Bel-
gium will not be dismayed at any difficulties which it may
encounter in the prosecution of the glorious work which it
has undertaken ; but that by energy and perseverance it
may successfully combat error, and so lead Belgium to
sources of increased industry, contentment, and wealth."

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, DEL 1.
Molars. Hoist, Freeland and Brother, in their monthly
circular of this day, report :
"The general tone of our market has been dull and in-
naimate throughout the month, and the business done
has been on a very limited scale. Stocks of gmds, ho w-
ever, have been light, and there has, therefore, been no
disposition on the part of producers to force sales. Con-
sequently prices have not given way nearly so much as
might have been expected under the increased pressure
of the money-market ; indeed, the prices asked to-day,
owing to the better accounts just received from the East,
are barely 2 per cent. lo wer than our quotations a month

ago.
foThe exports of cotton piece-goods and yarns for the
month are 95,872 packages against 106,292 for the satne
time last year. This is rather under the average for the
previous three months, which is 97,808 packages. The
following classification shows at a glance the proportion
to the various markets :

Packages
Cotton Lb. Cotton I
Piece Goods. Yarns.
East Indies ......................... 26.2 ... 13.6
China .............................. 5'7 .•. 3.8
Australia .............................. 1.8 ... 0 0

"The Liverpool cotton-market has been somewhat
irregular during the month, the common qualities of
American being fully d. per lb. lower, while middling
qualities are quoted the same. Any improvement in
the Manchester market will probably lead to higher
prices in the raw material,
"Mule Twist.—No. 30's to 50's are about per lb.
lower, other numbers remain. the same as before.
" Water Twist.--A large business would he done at a
reduction of Ad. per lb. on our quotations, but the spin-
ners generally decline to accept lower rates.
"In piece
goods there has been very little fresh busi-
ness during the month. The market has, however, been
supported by unexpired contracts for home trade quali-
ties, and the lightness of stocks generally in the hands of
producers ; s printing cloths of low qualities have been
taken off freely, while the better sorts have been in less
demand. The production of 34 and 36 inch makes of
low qualities has been greatly increased, and they are
rather lower in price. India shirtiogs are selling at
unremunerative rates to the manufacturers ; and as
stocks are light, and the quantity produced muoochked for
under
the average, some advance in price may be l
with a revival of demand. Domestics, long cloths, and
T cloths are without much alteration, the tendency
being rather in favour of the buyer."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, —Much unjust and undue prejudice exists against
the income tax impost, and I believe those making the
most outcry are the individuals who consider it no wrong
to defraud the revenue. This opinion, Sir, is founded
on my self-experience as a clerk to income tax commis•
sioners. Were it not for the constant watchfulness of
local commissioners, surveyors of taxes, commissioners'
clerks, and assessors, I verily believe almost a fourth of
the duty, which ought to be justly paid, would be lost.

I have known parties to make return of their clear in-
come balance—say 3,oool.—and when surcharged by the
local commissioners or the surveyor, or both, to double
the amount, have not appealed against the increase.
Nay, there are those who are bold enough to take no
notice of the return schedule left them to fill up, and,
when brought into charge on a supposed equitable
amount, admit the correctness of such charge by not
showing objection to it on appeal. Same, also, will
make a return oil, and when assessed by the commis.
sioners or the surveyor, or both, confess their sins in
not showing objection to it. I might go on, but it
'nay be enough, when I assure you that the flagrant
attempts to commit these frauds are abundant, and
actually startling to those who have the means of ob.
serving them. It is not the smaller degree of tax pay-
ers who practise those attempted impoitions ; they
range much higher. The individuals who make just
returns of their net income would be unjustly treated
were others not compelled to pay their due proportion
—that would be adding wrong to wrong. This all•
upright men will freely admit. Real property, being
visible, cannot escape.—Yours, obediently,

Messrs. Robt. Freeland and Brother, in their monthly
circular of this day, report :

"The general tone of our market has been dull and in-
naimate throughout the month, and the business done
has been on a very limited scale. Stocks of goods, ho w.
ever, have been light, and there has, therefore, been no
disposition on the part of producers to force sales. Con•
sequently prices have not given way nearly so much as
might have been expected under the increased pressure
of the money-market ; indeed, the prices asked today,
owing to the better accounts ja-t received from the East,
are barely 2 per cent. lower than our quotations a month
ago.
" The exports of cv ton piece-goods and yarns for the
month are 95,872 packages against 108,292 for the same
time last year. This is rather tinder the average for the
previous three months, which is 97,808 packages. The
following classification shows at a glance the proportion
to the various markets :

"Tne Ligerpiol c,,tton.market i.as been somewhat
irregular during the mouth, the ninurion qualities of
American being fully id. per lb. lower, while middling
qualities are quoted the same. Any improvement in
the blanchestrr market will probably lead to higher
prices in the raw material,
" Mule Twiit.—No. 30's to 50's are about id. per lb.
lower, other numbers remain the same as before.

" Water Twist.—A. large business would be done at a
reduction of !,1 per lb. on our quotations, but the spin-
ners generally de-dine to accept lower rates.
"In piece goods there has been very little fresh busi-
ness during the month. The market has, however, been
supported by unexpired contracts for home trade quali-
ties, and the lightness of stooks generally in the hands of
producers ; printing cloths of low qualities have been
taken off freely, while the better sorts have been in lees
demand. The production of 34 and 36 iach makes of
low qualities has been greatly increased, and they are
rather lower in price. India shirtiiigs are selling at
unrernunerative ratts to the manufacturers ; and as
stocks are light, and the quantity produced much under
the average, some advance in price may be looked for
with a revival of demand. Domestics, long-cloths, and
T cloths are without much alteration, the tendency
being rather in favour of the buyer."

FIRE irr SHOREDITCH.-00 Sunday night, about 10
o'clock, a fire happened on the premises belonging to Mr.
Samuels, a tobacconist and water-proofer, 18, Swan-
yard, Stioreditch. The brigade tried all they could to
save the adjoining houses, in which they succeeded, but
the tire was not extinguished until the premises of Mr.
Satnuets arid all they contained were tutally destroyed.

The commercial details by the overland mail yesterday
are generally satisfactory. At Calcutta there bad been
an improvement both in cotton goods and metals, and
at Bombay a fair amount of business bad taken place at
steady prices. From China the advises describe mode-
rate activity in imported goods at Canton, while at
Shanghai an advance had been realised.

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.

•
the extraordinary success achieved by the enterprising
lessee of the Royal Amphitheatre in the production of
"Richard the Third" has induced him to bring forward
another Shakeperiau spectacle. " Macbeth " has been
selected, and, although it does not admit of so much
effect as " Richard the Third," it nevertheless has en-
abled Mr. W. Cooke to produce a very attractive enter-
tainment. The applause bestowed upon the performance
last evening was immense, and at the fall of the curtain
there were loud calls for Mr. Holloway, who sustained
the part of the noble Thane with great ability. The
success of " Macbeth" bids fair to outrival " Richard."
The entertainments ware brought to a conclusion by
the ever attractive and amusing "Scenes in the Arena,"
in which Miss Kate Cooke particularly distinguished
herself. The house was crowded to excess.

Mr. LEIGH MURRAY.—This gentleman has been com
pelled, by a severe attack of bronchitis—very prevalent
at this season in London—to abstain from performing
at the Adelphi Theatre. The new drama of a "Border
Diarriage " has, therefore, been withdrawn.
The amateurs who performed with so much eclat at
the St. James's Theatre for the Patriotic and Crimean
Funds, and the officers who so distinguished themselves
before her Majesty last month at Aldershot, purpose
giving a dramatic performance a.. the St. James's
Theatre, on Friday, December 5. The proceeds will be
devoted to the "relief of destitution in the metropolis
during the winter season." The box plan will be kept
at Mr. Sam's Royal Library, St. James's-street. W.,
need scarcely say that our friends who wish to be pre-
sent should lose no tune in securing seats.
Advices from Melbourne to the 9th, and from Sydney
to the 12th of September, by way of Callao, were received
yesterday. The Golden Era, from Liverpool, with the
mail of the 19th of June, had arrived at Port Philip on
the 9th or 10th of September. The True Briton, with
the mail for London, was to sail on the 12th September.
The departures from the port of London for the Aus-
tralian colonies during the past week have comprised
only two vessels—one for k'ort Philip, the other for
Hobart Town, with an aggregate capacity of 1,542
tons. The rates of freight have exhibited gnater firm-
flue,

AUSTRIA.

The Opinione of Turin gives the following as a
correct outline of the amnesty to be granted by
the Emperor of Austria. A distinction is to be
made between those who are in prison awaiting
their trial, and those who have already been tried
and Tcondemned. Of the former, those against
whom there are not sufficient proofs are to be im-
mediately released ; the others are to reeeiye their
sentences at once, and the punishment will be mi-
tigated. The punishments of those already con-
demned are to be reduced, or full pardons granted.
As to political refugees, those whose property i 5
under sequestration, and who have applied for
its release, shall be restored to the full posses-
:don thereof, on condition of an unconditional
approval of the accounts of the administrators.
Those who shall not have made application before
the 31st inst. are to be authorised to appoint an
administrator of their own, subject to the approval
of the Austrian government. All those who shall
not have applied for a free return into the Austrian
Sates before the end of the present year are to be
for ever banished the empire.

SURREY THEATRE.

Last evening a new three-act drama, entitled " Birds of
Prey," was produced here with great success. The drama
is founded on a story of Bohemian life, and the peculia-
rities of that race are skilfully and graphically delineated.
The plot is rather intricate, but the principal !point in
the play is the exertions of a gang of swindlers to possess
themselves of the fortune of a lady just on the point of
marriage. All the parties are on the spot and the plan
works, but Charles Rennepont (Mr. Creswick) interposes.
He has vowed a crusade against all swindlers. His hatred
of the class is caused by his having a brother who was first
ruined by them and then initiated into their craft.
Through the instrumentality of Rennepout the deep de-
signs of the " Birds of Prey" are frustrated, and all ends
happily. Mr. Creswick, as Rennepont, acquitted himself
to admiration. The other parts in the drama were excel-
lently sustained, and at the fall of the curtain the piece
was given out for repetition every evening until further
notice, amidst the applause of a very crowded audience.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market has been very quiet, with no material
alteration in prices to notice.
SUGAR.—There are several large parcels announced for
public competition during the week, and it is expected that
the market will bs rather better supplied. The private
transactions reported have not been extensive, but firm
prices have been current.
COFFEE.—A good demand has been experienced for both
plantation and native Ceylon, and fully previous quotations
have in all instances been maintained.

RioE.—For low qualities there has been a brisk demand,
and rather higher prices have been realised ; but other de-
scriptions have ruled steady at previous rates.
Rum.—The market has been steady, and little or no
alteration in values can be reported.
TALLOW.—There has been an increased demand, and the
market has exhibited considerable buoyancy. P.Y.C. in
all positions is now quoted 59s per cwt.

ThE COMING CONFERENCES.

The Nord of yesterday —writes as follows :—gi
political world is much occupied with the attitude talcE
bty France in the dispute relative to the execution of
the treaty of the 30th March. Our correspondel
from Parii contains some details upon this nubjec. •
worthy of implicit reliance. According to our corrnolt
pondent, we went too far in saying that the Fre%
Government shares entirely in the opinion of glislie
as to the questions raised by the execution •ef t-hr
treaty. France has not taken a position so Or
defined ; it enters the debate more as a media
than as a party in the dispute •
policy of conciliation, and all its effo'rts tend to big!):
about an understanding preliminary to the meeting °I,,
second Congress. The task is difficult, on account of the
conflicting interest-. While recognising the justice
..r
legality of the arguments adduced by Russia in fob
of the meeting of the Conference, the Cabinet of
d°o
Tuileries has to take into consideration the rea'hBo-
- against the pr ,ject. There is every reason, mijoy
ever, to hope that its persevering and moderate P°r,or
will end by triumphing over every obstacle.. "'oft
special correspondent at London informs us, on his r.,r.
it pursues.
tnat the Foreign Office has at last shown itself WO"
able to the meeting of the Conferences."
