vances of the merchants almost always consist in articles
of commerce, on which they realize a considerable profit.
The house of Briggs has gamed from .50 to 60 per cent. by
the supply of steam-engines, the greater part of which are
not employed at present. The Pasha will find it difficult
to extricate himself if he continue this system. There is
nothing permanent in a state without a good financial
system, and this is what is wanting to Egypt."
Accounts from Smyrna of the 13th ult. state that the
Duke of Ragusa was in that town. It was supposed that
he would go into Syria and Egypt.
BOURSE, 'SEPT. 22.—The business at the Bourse was at
the commencement very brisk. The 3 per Cents. were
done at 76f. 30c., but afterwards a sort of gloom hung
over the market ; twice the price declined to 76f. 10c., but
got up again to 76f. 60c., heavy. No news nor reports
afloat. This uncertainty created some uneasiness, and well
informed people foresee in this week a very great fluctuation.

VIENNA, SEPT. 11.—The fire at Neustadt was still
greater than was at first believed here, and several hundred
persons lost their lives in it. The post from Constanti-
nople of the 26th August has arrived, but brings little news
of importance. Letters have been received here by way of
Genoa, the contents of which are very unfavourable to the
Queen of Spain ; the writers believe that it will be wholly
impossible for her to maintain herself in the Government,
and she will be forced to yield either to Don Carlos or to
the ultra liberal party. The Queen herself is represented
as not insensible of the danger of her situation. Many fa-
milies of distinction have emigrated to Italy from fear of the
civil war and the cholera.

INSPRUCK, SEPT. 10.—Her Majesty the Empress Maria
Louise, Duchess of Parma, travelling under the name of
Duchess of Colorno, arrived here yesterday on her return
from Vienna to her own dominions, and proceeded this
morning early on her way to Italy.
The building of the fortress near Brixen (a league from
it) is carried on with great activity. Astonishing works
are already seen on both sides the road. An immense num-
ber of workmen, chiefly soldiers, are employed on them. A
camp of long wooden barracks serve for the habitation of
the workmen, as well as of the officers who have the direc-
tion of the operations, and affords an interesting sight, es-
pecially in the evening, when all is lighted up. The door
open, you see the robust forms of the men, dressed partly
like soldiers, partly like labourers, busy in preparing their
suppers. The neighbouring public-houses are likewise full
of soldiers. In the rooms, the officers of all arms over
their punch in the open air ; the men regaling themselves ;
everywhere noise and bustle ; the image of war in the
midst of peace ; and in this respect an attractive sight.
Further down, following the course of the impetuous
Ersack, we come to another equallyimportant scene of active
operation. We mean the enterprise of the Italian company,
which makes new roads, renders rivers navigable, and made an
offer to contract for building the fortress at Brixen,which the
Government did not think proper to accede to. It has
now purchased the extensive forests at the foot of the
Schlerngebirg, intending to fell them and convey the timber
to Venice. It will clear the whole tract, leaving only the
trees of certain dimensions for future growth. The broken
rocky bed of the Ersack is now being made fit, by sluices
and dams, for floating down the rafts, and sixteen saw-
mills are employed in cutting up the fallen giants of the
forest. These works, and the greatest part of the workmen,
chiefly Italians, who are settled there with their wives and
children, now animate the rude and gloomy valley, called
the Kurtersweg, where the awful silence of the scene was
formerly broken only occasionally by the monotonous tones
of the postillion's horn passing along the otherwise unfre-
quented road. Though there is no backwardness in
doing justice to the enterprising spirit of these Italians,
the principle of performing such public works by
contract is in general not approved in this country. The
contractors generally aim at enriching themselves, and the
work done is seldom such as it ought to be. Even the
great road over the Wormserjock is not very well spoken of
in this respect. It would have been made in a more solid
and judicious manner by the government than it has been
by the Italian company.
The' country about Inspruck, which is especially visited
by the sirocco, has suffered from it this year in an extraor-
dinary degree. " The warm-wind is coming" say they with
the clouds of dust which are seen rolling on at a distance.
Most people feel head-ache, lowness of spirits, and inclina-
tion to vomit. This however is transitory, and is at an end
when the direction of the wind changes. The grand re-
views near Verona will be extrentely brilliant, and will
attract visitors from far and near. The epidemic dysentery
which prevailed in some parts of the Unterinnthal has
almost wholly ceased.—Frankfort Paper:, Sept. 18.
