FRANCE.

PARIS, SUNDAY.
According to the most recent news from Naples,
derived from the ♦ery best source, the King is
firmly resolved not to make the slightest conces-
sion. There is little doubt that the naval demon-
stration in the Bay of Naples will, after all, be
made, and that France will join in it.
The Debats of yesterday publishes an article
signed by M. de Sacy on the meeting of the Paris
Congress. It states that the question of the Ser-
pents' Island has been already settled—that the
island is to be restored to Turkey ; that, as re-
gards the islands of the Lower Danube, they also
will be coded to the Porte.

As regards the union of the two Principalities,
the Dibats says that, as the commission charged to
consider the whole question of the Principalities has
not yet entered upon its functions, that question
must be deferred; and, as France, Austria, England,
and Turkey each claim the presidency in the com-
mission—a post which is one of " influence"—the
Debats is of opinion that this, as well as some other
preliminary matters, must first be settled by the
next Congress before the actual question of the
Danubian Principalities is touched upon.
It is reported that at a recent ministerial council
a proposition for putting a duty of 11 per cent. upon
the exportation of the precious metals was discussed,
but with what result is not stated.

CALCUTTA.

The Government on the 30th August opened a
new loan. The rate offered is 41-- per cent., and
the loan is not to be paid off till 1866. The terms
offered, however, are not sufficient to tempt dealers.
The old Fours are at 12 per cent. digcount, and no
one therefore will subscribe to the new loan. Up
to yesterday less than a thousand pounds had been
paid in. Exchange on London may be quoted
2s. lid. for first-class paper, and 2s. 11d. for
document bills.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE STATE OF TEL BOMBAY MARKET,
FROM AUG. 29 to SEPT. 11.
Our money market far the past fortnight has been
rather unsettled, in consequence of the government hav-
ing issued a notification to the effect that they were pre-
pared to receive tenders for a 4i per cent, loan, and we
are given to understand that tenders for a considerable
amount were sent into government at 90, but the ten-
derers were informed that no tenders could be entertain-
ed under par. Local stocks remain much about former
quotations.

Since the date of our last report considerable activity
has sprung up in the Import Market, and from alt parts
of the presidency the most favourable reports continue
to be received of the state of the weather and the crops,
a condition of matters which cannot do otherwise than
promise well for the future prospect of the busy season.
Just as the mail was closing on the 29th ult., a very
active demand sprung up for all descriptions of cotton
piece goods, which we are glad to say has steadily con-
tinued, prices having risen on nearly all the staple
goods.
EXCHANGE. —The China mail having brought on a
very large supply of bills, the rate opened with small
sales at 2q. lad. and upward tendency, but on two of
the local banks coining in as buyers of local credits
and documents at Id. 7-16 d., the rate became
firmer, and 2s. ld. 516 d. was obtained for China

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I have to request that you will allow me
through the medians of your cc:dull-Ins, to correct pub:
lie)/ an erroneous statement which- aDpearod in some of
the published reports Of the proceedin,ss at the meeting
of depositors, held last Monday evening, which I did not
intend to notice, but now find it necessary to do so.
Mr. Wyld is there represented to have said that I
stated " that if the depositors would accept a. ,composi-
tion of 15s. in the pound, I would pay a dividend of ss.
in the pound in the month of December, 1856, am) issue
promissory notes, under the authority of the Court of
Chancery, for the payment of ss. in the pound at the end
of six months, and ss. in the pound at the and of 12'
Imonths." I called upon him after the appearance of the
reports, and reminded him that I had distinctly stated at
our interview that it was not within my province, as in-
terim manager, to make any proposal of compromise,
but that there could be no objection to my receiving
thi ough him the views of the depositors as to some ar-
rangement ; and that in reply to his inquiries, I ex-
pressed an opinion that ss. in the pound could probably
be paid this year, and that if the crditors required so
much as 15s. in the pound (that amount having been
suggested by himself), it could not be paid within 12
mouths. lat the same time called his attention to the
Bth section of the Winding-up Amended Act, which
provides :—"That for the better getting in the estate
of any company in respect of which an order absolute
has been or shall be made under the said act, and dis-
charging the debts thereof, and winding-up the affairs
thereof, it shall be lawful for the official nia:tager of such
company, under the direction of the master f(Er the time
being acting in the windingup thereof, and or, behalf
of the company, to draw, accept, make, or endorse any
bill of exchange or promissory note, and also to raj a°
upon the security of the assets of the company from time;
to time such sum or sums of money, and in such manner,
as the master shall from time to time direct." mr.
Wyld thereupon admitted at once that the facts were as I
had stated them, and not as given in the reports, and ob.
served that the error was not his, but that of some of the
reporters; and several persons who were present at the
meeting afterwards infdritied- me that the account
of our interview which he -(9ft% Wyld) gave . in his
address to the meeting, as they understood it, agreed
with mine, and not with the reports. I find, however,
that the version given in some of the newspapers is mis-
leading creditors, and I must therefore request you to
insert this correction.

I understand that Mr. Wyld is not at present in town
or I should apply to him to give publicity to his admis-
sion, instead cf myself asking the favour of your insert.
ing this letter.—l am, sir, your most obedient servant,

PRUSSIA•

A. letter from Berlin, of the Bth, in the Debats,
says :—" The measures which the Prussian Go-
vernment means to take with respect to Switzer-
land, if the latter refuses to recognise its rights
over Neufchatel, will not be of a military character.
Our Cabinet has attentively studied the exports
and imparts of Switzerland, and it has ascertained
that an interruption of commerce between Switzer-
land and Germany would be very prejudicial to. the
Diet a
former, whilst the latter would receive but little
injury; it accordingly will submit to the Ger-
manicpro-
ductions. from the German markets. Notwith-
standing for excluding Swiss
stan.ding the numerous partial re-elections that are
taking place for the Prussian Chamber of Deputies,
the political character of the Chamber will not
be changed. The Extreme Conservative party is
employing all the means in its power to cause the
election of its candidates. As all the Prussian in-
fantry is to be armed with Minie muskets, great
activity prevails in our arsenals, and orders have
been given to manufacture 9,000,000 Minie ball-
eartridges."
Another letter from Berlin, in the Ost. Deutsche
Post of Vienna, says :—" Amongst the numerous
couriers who have passed through this city within
the last few
days on their way from St. Petersburg
to Paris, is M. Gervais, Councillor of State, who, 1
can state on sure information, carries to Paris the
definitive resolution of Russia as to the assembling
of a second congress in that city, to settle the ques-
tions of the
East, Naples, Greece, and Neufchatel ."

AUSTRALIA.

We hare not received any Australian papers by
the present mail, but the following items of intelli-
gence have arrived via Ceylon
" The Fortitude, which left Melbourne on the
17th of July, has brought no mails, but to Capt.
Harrison we are indebted for the Leader of July 12.
Wet ungenial weather had produced temporary dull-
ness in trade and lessened the production of gold.
Vessels with imported goods continued to in-
crease stocks which could not be conveyed to the
diggings from the roads being broken up. Speedy
improvement was hoped for, however, and had in-
deed partially taken place. The price of gold re-
mained steady at 765. per ounce ; standard way
selling at 735. 9d. Quartz-crushing operations
were being rapidly developed and perfected.; an
office for assaying the amalgamated gold has been
established, and it was thought that before long
gold would be exported only in the form of ingots.
One is reported as having been discovered near
Maryborough, weighing upwards of 260 ounces
and being one solid mass of gold. In that case it
will be worth at least 1,0001.
The Mindora, Royal Mail ship, had arrived on
the 11th of July, but her news had been forestalled
by the Lancashire Witch, with troops, and the
Mary Anne, which had arrived at Tasmania. The
Ellen Bates had arrived at Melbourne on the sth of
July. The Champion of the Seas had sailed for
Liverpool on the 10th of July ; the True Briton
was to sail for London on the Ist of August ; and
the James Baines, for Liverpool, on the sth.
Six miles of the Melbourne and Geelong Rail-
way had been opened, and it was expected that
the whole would be ready for traffic by New-Year's
In the northern portion of South Austialia,
B. Herschell Babbage has discovered geological
indications of coal beds.
In Tasmania the search for gold continued to be
prosecuted, and two Welsh miners had discovered
both silver and copper. Messrs. Meredith and
Hume, pioneers of the colony, had died. A Tas-
manian paper announces the arrival of the Lanca-
shire Witch, and the melancholy death of Ensign
Harrison, of her Majesty's 11th Regiment, a pas'
senger on board. He accidentally fell overboard
from the poop, and was drowned.

THE TIPPERARY BANE..

The guardians of the lienagh union have agreed
to adopt the suggestion for a compromise of their
claim, recently thrown out by other creditors.
Mr. Going has, been appointed to represent the
board. The impression is becoming pretty general
that the whole available funds will be swallowed up
in law if an atmicableartangement be not adopted,
and that immediately. The unfortunate depositors
resident in the neighbourhood of Tipperary have
as strong grounds in pushing the law to the ut-
most as any other creditors, yet as they are now
satisfied to accept a reasonable compromise from
the equally unfortunate shareholders. in the face
of this we still hear of the preliminary steps being
prepared for some hundreds more of additional
actions, promising a goodly harvest to the ap-
proaching term.
HER MAJESTY'S SHIP MEANDER.

BBREHAVEN, Oct. 6.—This ship, Captain T. Baillie,
arrived here last evening. It appears that she had been
at Valentia during the last fortnight, and while there
Captain Baillie, his officer and ship's company, rendered
good service in saving from becoming a total wreck an
ill•fated ship, timber laden, which was driven on the
rocks. After leaving on Friday last the gallant captain
was equally fortunate in relieving another vessel timber
laden, which he supplied with provisions, and sent car-
penters, and that in heavy weather, to repair part of the
damages which she had snitained, for which the master
and crew felt most grateful.

firmly resolved not to make the slightest conces-
sion. There is little doubt that the naval demon-
stration in the Bay of Naples will, after all, be
made, and that France will join in it.
The Debats of yesterday publishes an article
signed by M. de Saey on the meeting of the Paris
Congress. It states that the question of the Ser-
pents' Island has been already settled—that the
island is to be restored to Turkey ; that, as re-
gards the islands of the Lower Danube, they also
will be ceded to the Porte.

As regards the union of the two Principalities,
the Debats says that, as the commission charged to
consider the whole question of the Principalities has
not yet entered upon its functions, that question
must be deferred; and, as France, Austria, England,
and Turkey each claim the presidency in the com-
mission—a post which is one of " influence"—the
Debcas is of opinion that this, as well as some other
preliminary matters, must first be settled by the
next Concrre3s before the actual question of the
Danubian Principalities is touched upon.
It is reported that at a recent ministerial council
a proposition for putting a duty of li per cent. upon
the exportation of the precious metals was discussed,
but with what result is not stated.

Wet ungenial weather had produced temporary dull-
ness in trade and lessened the production of gold.
Vessels with imported goods continued to in-
crease stocks which could not be conveyed to the
diggings from the roads being broken up. Speedy
improvement was hoped for, however, and had in-
deed partially taken place. The price of gold re-
mained steady at 765. per ounce ; standard was
selling at 735. 9d. Quartz-crushing operations
were being rapidly developed and perfected ; an
office for assaying the amalgamated gold has been
established, and it was thought that before long
gold would be exported only in the form of ingots.
One is reported as having been discovered near
Maryborough, weighing upwards of 260 ounces
and being one solid mass of gold. In that case it
will be worth at least 1,000/.
The Mindora, Royal Mail ship, had arrived on
the 11th of July, but her news had been forestalled

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 9.—A few days since it was stated
that a note, which was a kind of " pendant' to tl.e
circular of September 2, was forwarded by
Prince Gortschakoff to this Government, and the

intelligence is thus confirmed by a well-informed
north German paper :
" Though little is now said of what is doing in the
apolitan question, I can assure you that some of the
great Powers have got up a hind of diplomatic agitation
against the project of the Western Powers, and
the end of the matter will probably be, that there will
be no expedition to the Bay of Naples. I also learn
from a perfectly authentic source that Russia has done
more than protest in her circular of the 2d of Septem-
ber against the policy of France and England towards
Naples and Greece. A few days since Baron Mohren-
beim was the bearer of an urgent note from Russia to the
Austrian Cabinet, is which it was most distinctly said
that it was absolutely necessary to counteract the proceed-
ings of the Western Powers against the Bing of Naples.
It is not difficult to foretell how this will be effected. A
Russian squadron is not likely to attempt to keep the
vessels of the Western Powers out of the Bay of Naples,
but the proposal of Russia immediately to bring the
Neapolitan question before a diplomatic Congress is
sure to be warmly seconded by Austria. In a few days
it must be known to the public whether the Western
Powers approve the plan."
Baron von Hugel, the Austrian Minister in Tus-
cany, is now here, and his presence in Vienna is
considered a sure indication that some question of
importance is being discussed between the two
Courts.

HER MAJESTY'S SHIP MEANDER.

MIREHAVEN, Oct. 6.—This ship, Captain T. Balllie,
arrived here last evening. It appears that she had been
at Valentia during the last fortnight, and while there
Captain Baillie, his officer and ship's company, rendered
good service in sa.ving from becoming a total wreck an
ill-fated ship, timber laden, which was driven on the
rocks. After leaving on Friday last the gallant captain
was squally fortunate in relieving another vessel timber
laden, which he supplied, with provisions, and sent car-
penters, and that in heavy weather, to repair part of the
damages which she had sustained, for which the master
and crew felt most grateful.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE BYERS, WALKER, AND co.
The bankrupts were described as of Bell-alley, Lom-
bard-street, and Liverpool, merchants, and his Honour
now gave a decision as to the sufficiency of the proposi-
tion made by the bankrupts for winding up their affairs
under the Private Arrangement Act.
His Honour asked what was the real amount of lia-
bilities—it was originally stated at 170,0001. ?
Mr. Lawrance said they had been very largely reduced
—to about 170,0001. as bills receivable, with which the
bankrupts had debited themselves in acsount had run
off, having been taken by the insolvents.
His Honour then referred to the proceedings, and said
tlCat the petition was presented about four months ago,
but they had not filed any accounts until ten days be-
fore the time appointed for the first meeting, which had
been adjourned until Friday last. The question for him
was, whether the proposition which had been made was
fair and reasonable, and such as ought to be sanctioned
by the Court. Syers had admitted that in 1851, when
he joined Walker, he was not only without capital,
but was behind-hand 20001., and there was nothing
to show satisfactorily that there was any capital
at any time, but they had gone on to an enor-
mous amount, raising money en all the bills
of lading he could get hold of, and left the tangible
assets so as to leave a very small dividend.
Mr. Hart—Mr. Nicholson, clerk, said abut ls. in
the pound unless anything was realised on the consign-
ment beyond the advances on them.
_ _ _ _

His honour did not consider this a case for private
arrangement, and adjourned it into open court to be
heard as under bankruptcy, but he would delay the
advertisement for a fortnight if the bankrupts chose to
appeal to the Lord Justices.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.
London, England, 1856-10-13

NAPLES.

The Opinions of Turin, of the 9th, in a leading
article on the Neapolitan question, says :—" There
is a very easy way of solving the non-intervention
difficulty. The principle of non-intervention has
been proclaimed at the Congress at Paris. Let
this principle be observed, and let the States of
Italy govern themselves in their own way ; let
Austria withdraw her troops from the Romagna,
and engage not to go beyond the frontiers assigned
to her by treaties, whatever may take place in the
peninsula ; and let England send a squadron and
France her troops, in case Austria oversteps her
boundaries. Would Austria accept such a proposi-
tion ? We may fairly answer, No. And if she
does not accept, how can she blame the interven-
tion of the two great Western Powers in the affairs
of Naples ?
A :etter from Vienna of the 6th, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" There is no longer any doubt but
that th 3 Neapolitan affair will terminate in a com-
promise whfcth will render useless the contemplated
demonstration; f)f the Western Powers. Frame
has in fact declared in a note, lately delivered to
the Austrian Government, that she is ready to
submit the decision of the Neapolitan question to a
new Congress at Paris. A new note is expected
on the part of the Neapolitan Government. It
was to have appeared a week since, and it is
hoped that the delay has been caused by the Nea-
/Nlitan Government having modified the original
wolding of it so as to render it more in con-
fornity with the existing state of things." An-
other Jotter from Vienna says :—" The garrison of
Milan is ,!'o be considerably increased during the
stay of the '74mperor in that city ; but this measure
is only adoptek:l in consequence of th© present gar-
rison being insui3cient to perform the service re-
quired by the presence of his Majesty."

details of the construction of this remarkable ship human
skill seems to have done its utmost.
At the present time the construction of steam propel•
lers for ordinary mercantile service seemsto be attracting
more attention. The Novelty Iron Works have a very
fine working model of a propeller engine, and it is anti-
cipated that ultimately this class of vessels will occupy
an important place in our mercantile marine. For naval
purposes its superiority is undoubted.
