THE EAST.

A letter from Constantinople of the 15th, in the
Semaphore, of Marseilles, says :—" Kuprisli Me-
homed Pacha, Turkish ambassador at St. Peters-
burg, arrived here yesterday, and resumed his
functions as President of the Council of the Tan-
zinial. Mohammed Ibn Aoun, cherif of Mecca, has
received the decoration of the Medjidie, Ist class,
enriched with diamonds, and a magnificent sabre,
the hilt of which is studded with diamonds. The
sons of the cherif have had their part in the favours
of the Government, the oldest, Abdullah Pacha,
member of the Grand Council, having received the
Ist class decoration; Husseim Bey, the second, be-
ing raised to the rank of colonel ; and Mansour
Effendi, the last, receiving the decoration of the
Medjidie 2d class."
A letter from Alexandria, of the 13th, says
The Viceroy, as I have already stated, lately left
for Senaar, on receipt of the news of the approach
of King Theodore of Abyssinia at the head of a
body of troops, but from the last accounts from
Abyssinia it is supposed that Said Pacha will not
proceed to Senaar, but will shortly return to Cairo,
King Theodore having been forced to retrace his
steps on account of an insurrection in his own States.
Oubie, King of the Tigre, one of the important parts
of Abyssinia, who was vanquished by Theodore,
was kept a prisoner for some time. After his
release he collected some partisans, and since
then he has obtained several advantages over the
troops of Theodore ; he has even now gone to be-
siege Gondar, capital of the kingdom of the latter.
All this was sufficient reason for causing Theodore
to hasten his return to his States."

A letter from Munich announces that the King
of Bavaria intendm making an excursion to Naples
and Madrid in the spring.

A letter from Milan of the 20th, in the Opinione
of Turin, states that none of those that have re-
ceived a full pardon from the Emperor of Austria
had up to that date been set at liberty, and that it
was believed they would not be until after the
departure of the Emperor.

The Parma Gazette of the 20th announces that
the Duchess Regent, who had been for some days
slightly indisposed, was then perfectly recovered.

The Univers publishes a decree from the Court
of Rome, rendering obligatory throughout the
whole of the Roman Catholic Church the observ-
ance of the fete of the Sacr6 Cceur de Jesus, which
has hitherto been only kept by special privilege in
some particular countries.
A letter from Palermo, of the 18th, states that a
royal rescript had just been received from Naples
relative to the system to be adopted for the more
complete lighting of the coasts of Sicily. Fourtetn
new lighthouses are to be erected without delay,
which will increase the total number to 28.

FOREIGN BILLS OF EXCHANGE.

We beg to direct attention to the following corres-
pondence which has taken place between a mercantile
firm in this city and the stamp authorities, on the ques-
tion of stamp duties chargeable on bills payable at sight
and on presentation. The former, it would appear, are
liable to the ad valorem duties, while the latter are only
subject to the penny stamp, although, so far as their
terms of payment are concerned, they are usually re-
yarded as identical with bills payable on demand. The
question then arises whether or not bills payable at
sight are entitled to " the days of grace." '

" Glasgow, Dec. 13, 1856.
"To the Hon. the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes,

London.

"Hon. Sirs,—Being uncertain as to the proper inter-
pretation of the existing Stamp Act with reference to
foreign bills of exchange payable at sight' or on pre-
sentation,' I beg respectfully to inquire whether such
bills merely require the adhibition of a penny stamp, as
in the case of bills payable on demand,' or if they are
to be regarded within the meaning of the act as payable
otherwise than on demand,' and chargeable with the
higher duties of the latter class of bills.

According to merzantile u4ago here, bills payable
at sight,' or on presentation,' like bills payable on de-
mand, are presented directly for payment without the
intervention of days of grace.' This being the case,
they only differ from bills payable on demand in the
form of expression, the term of payment being the same
in both."

horned Pacha, Turkish ambassador at St. Peters-
burg, arrived here yesterday, and resumed his
functions as President of the C iuncil of the Tau-

received the decoration of the Medjidie, Ist class,
enriched with diamonds, and a magnificent sabre,
the hilt of which is studded with diamonds. The
sons of the cherif have had their part in the favours
of the Government, the eldest, Abdullah Pacha,
member of the Grand Council, having received the
Ist class decoration; Ilus,eim Bey, the second, be-
ing raised to the rank of ca9nel ; and Mansour
Effendi, the last, receiving the decoration of the
Medjidie 2d class."

of Abyssinia, who was vanquished by Theodore,
was kept a prisoner for some time. After his

lONEY MARKET;

AND

COMMIII4VZIAT, TrTrELLIGP.tTO',i‘,.

mTY, Two o';7'Loor:
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very firmly, but prices of all descriptions were
extreme. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales
(1,000 of which were taken for export and 2,000
on speculation), comprising 1,200 Egyptian, at
61d. to 9d. ; 2,000 Surat, 41d. to 51d. ; and 30
Sea Islands, is. to 2s. Gd. per lb. The Railway
Share Market opened quietly, at a decline on the
current rates of Saturday, but it subsequently im-
proved, and closed at its best point.
Letters from Hamburg of the 11th inst. contain

some particulars relative to the capitalisation 01

the Sound Dues. According to a despatch received
there from Copenhagen, it is announced that Mr.
Buchanan, the' British Plenipotentiary at the
Danish Court, has fixed upon a sum to be paid by
England to Denmark as an indemnity for the
capitalisation of the Sound Dues. Of course this
convention must receive the sanction of Parliament
before it can be ratified ; but it is anticipated that
the terms are so advantageous that there is not
likely to be any opposition to the proposal. It
appears that Prussia, one of the maritime
states most interested in the free navigation of
the Sound and the Baltic, has not yet fixed
upon the pecuniary compensation to be given
to Denmark upon the cessation of the dues. It is
said also that Denmark has been making repeated
applications to the Hanseatic cities of Lubeck and
Hamburg to modify the duties levied on mer-
chandise in transitu by the duchy of Lauenburg.
France also asks for a modification of the same on
account of the carriage of her manufactures through
these states into the Danish territory, and there is
every probability of her agreeing to the terms of
capitalisation if the others are reduced. From
these facts there is now some certainty of the vexed
question of the Sound Dues being satisfactorily
settled this year.

A quarterly meeting of the Wheal Uny Mine
was held to-day. The report showed a balance of
1261. against the mine. The produce of tin and
copper sold was 1,8021. A call of 15s. per share
was made.

MILE WIGICEr.

This bankrupt was described as of Brighton, printer,
and to-day was appointed for his last examination.
Mr. Chidley, for the bankrupt, applied for an adjourn-
ment. He said that the bankrupt was doing that which
was not very usual—that was, making out his own
balance-sheet without the assistance of an accountant,
and bad no doubt it would be satisfactory.
His Honour said it was unusual, but commendable,
and granted the application.

MEETINGS.

In this case an audit meeting was held.
Mr. Chidley applied for an allowance to the bankrupt.
His Honour did not well see how he could grant an
allowance at an audit meeting.

Mr. Chidley said that his Honour directed the question
of allowance to stand over until the last examination
meeting, but Mr. Commissioner Fane on that occasion
directed it to stand over till this meeting.

His Honour therefore granted an allowance.

IN BE DUNCAN.

This bankrupt was described as of Lime•street, wine
merchant, and applied to be discharged from custody.
Mr. Warrand, Basinghall-street, appeared for the
petitioning creditor, who was also one
.of the detaining
creditors.

His Honour said that the detaining creditor could
discharge him if he thought proper.
Mr. Warraud declined doing that.

His Honour said that he should be setting a most
mischievous precedent if he discharged a bankrupt
before the choice of assignees, when the creditors would
have an opportunity of expressing their opinion, unless
some strong grounds were shown, which was not the
case here, and he should not grant the application.

The bankrupt passed without opposition.
IN RE TWIN*.

This bankrupt was described as of Surrey-street,
Strand, and to-day came up to pass his last examination.
Mr. Sturgeon, for a creditor, opposed on the ground
that bankrupt had traded under the name of Fitzroy
Young, when his real name was said to be John Fitzroy
Young, and he was now simply described as John.
The bankrupt, in examination, admitted that he had
been twice insolvent, in 1845 and 1851, but paid no
dividend.

His Honour adjourned the case sine die, and his
Honour expressed his opinion that the bankrupt would

says :—" It is now stated that it is not l‘e/ci

with the formation of a ministry, and that the
latter will join to himself MM. Blume, Barden;

profoundly irritated at the opposition which Na
manifested in 1854, and which obliged the ministril
of that day to dissolve, and particularly at the tO
for high . treason which subsequently took place'
Consequently it is easy to divine the sentiment
which will animate the new government.

T,ONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1856.

The pet of the Emperor NAPOLEON has enjoyed
but a brief tenure of office. The traitor
'rm. has profited little by his treachery. His
betrayal of his colleagues, and more especially of
the man to whom he owed his position, has been
speedily and completely avenged. The Court
used him merely as an instrument, to be discarded
the moment he ceased to be useful, and replaced
by a more thorough-going Absolutist. The dupli-
city towards his companions in the ESPARTERO
Ministry—the unscrupulous cunning with which
he planned, and the sanguinary atrocity with
which he executed the Madrid massacre, have all
proved fruitless, and three short months have
witnessed his complete overthrow, and the ap-
pointment of NARVAEZ to the Presidency of the
Council—the position for which O'DONNELL so
recklessly sacrificed all his quondam, associations
and friends, and the scanty remnant of his not
very brilliant reputation.
But although he has neither merited nor de-
served sympathy, there is one person who should
at least have treated bim with greater
consideration. Queen ISABELLA should have
dealt more liberally with the instrument
which she used to overthrow the Constitution she
bad sworn to maintain, and to which she owed
her throne. But though " she loved the treason
she hated the traitor." There were lingering
scruples which she could not tolerate. By yield-
ing to her wishes to a certain extent, O'DONNELL
had deprived himself of the power of resistance,
and subjected himself to be unceremoniously cast
aside the moment he hesitated or halted in the
path on which he had deliberately entered. ISA.
BELLA. was a true Bourbon (at least of the Nea.

THE CHINESE IMRE thION".

Since our last issue the news from the interior has be-
come more and more alarming to the Imperialists, whose
armies are retiring before the rebels in the direction of
Soo-chow. Last week the position of the Imperial forces
was reported to be thattho General in Chief Heang-yang
occupied Tan-yang, while his advanced guard under
Chang-kwoh-leang was at Ken-yang. This week Heaug-
yang is reported to have fallen back ou Chang-chow,
and Chattg-kwoh-leang to have retired to Tan-yang ;
leaving the former position of the Imperialists at Kew-
hwa-sang, where Keih fell into the hands of the rebels,
and the whole of the ground between Chin-koang and
Nankin open to them. In the western part of Keang-soo
the cities Of Keu-yung, Leih-paeg, and Leih-shwuy are
certainly occupied by the rebz:s, while the mandarins in,
these places are either decapitated or fled. To these may be
added E-hing, which has been taken by the rebels, who are
said to be spreading themselves over the Tae-hoo, and
Tung-ting-ean, but lately the resort of European tourists.
Since penning the above the news has just reached. us
that the rebels took possession of Tan-yang on Sunday,
the 6th July. This brings them into closer proximity
to Soo-chow, and the chances are that in a short time
the contending parties will be engaged in a deadlystruggle
fer that capital of the province, and the outlet of
commerce for Shanghai. Heang-yung has already re-
tired to commerce?
!y which is only about 30 miles from
Soo-chow. The richer inhabitants of Soo•ehow had pre-
viously removed to Tungting-san where they are likely
to fall directly into the hands of the insurgents. We
.understand that the Canton people about Shanghai are
enlisting volunteers to go to assist in the war, but which
side they will take is uncertain. One thing is certain,
that the movers in the business have no warrant from
the Government, and from the character of the parties
engaged the chances are that they will rather aid than
repress insurrection. We lave also heard that the fleet
of 40 saik of junks which some time ago went up the
Yang-tse-kiang, under the Chinese Nelson, threatening
to take everything, is now cooped up between Chin-
keang and.Nankin, unable to pass the batteries at either
place, without powder and without provisions.---North,
