NAPLES.

The 111oniteur gives the following account of
the affair of the Protis, when carrying troops to
Gaeta :

" The last advices from Naples, completely
contradict the news of the capture of the French
steamer Protis, copied •by some journals from a
telegraphic despatch from Marseilles. The follow-
ing are the facts of the case :—When King Francis
11. quitted his capital, the French steamers which
he employed for the conveyance of his troops sepa-
rated themselves into two parts ; some remained at
Naples waiting for the payment of the arrears due
to them, while the others followed the Royal army
to Gaeta. Among the latter was the Protis, belong-
ing to the Phocean Company. On the 6th, this
steamer appeared off the town of Augosta, having
an aide-de-camp of his Majesty on board. Her
mission was to receive and convey to Gaeta such
soldiers who were desirous of rejoining the Royal
army. In the absence of any of the authorities of
the town, the captain of the Protis took on board
560 men, officers and soldiers, who desired to pro-

EAST SOMERSET.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was
held at Shepton Mallet on Thursday, Mr. J. M.
Paget in the chair.
An abstract of the report and accounts has
appeared in The Sun.
On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by
Mr. W. CLARKE, the report was adopted.
Mr. J. C. SOMERVILLE, referring to the exten-
sion of the line to Wells, said the directors were
ready to proceed with the works at once, but they
had met with unanticipated impediments from the
landowners. H 9 hoped, however, that a satisfac-
tory arrangement would be made, and that the
directors would not be obliged to have recourse to
the compulsory powers of their act for obtaining
the land required for the purposes of the line.
A resolution empowering the directors to issue 5
per cent. preference shares for completing the line
to Wells, such shares to be redeemable in a certain
number of years to be decided on by the directors,
was adopted.
A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors
terminated the proceedings.

MALTA.

A setter from Valetta, dated August 27, says:
—I take the opportunity of the departure of the
French steamer Amerique to send you a few lines.
The Amerique arrived today (in five days from
Beyrout), and leaves in an hour or two for Mar-
seilles. She carries no mail, but through the
kindness of the French agent I am enabled to
avail myself of his despatch-bag. The troops on
boaid the Amerique, Borythene, and Simois had
been landed at Beyrout without anything occur-
ring worthy of notice. The Gange, also, with
French troops, had not arrived, and fears were en-
tertained that some damage had occurred to her
machinery. One hundred and seventy-three Druses
had been executed by Fuad Pasha.
The screw steamer Orontes arrived here yester-
day from Alexandria, and the Arno to-day, from
the same port, both for Gibraltar and Gibraltar,
with wheat, &c.

H.M. line-of-battle ship Queen left Malta on
Saturday for a cruise off the island, and is still in
sight. The line-of- battle ship Cressy is under orders
for Naples ; the Melpomene, frigate, for Corfu ; and
the Grayhound, corvette, for Beyrout.
The gunboat Intrepid suddenly made her appear-
ance yesterday from Naples and Messina, bringing
invalids from the squadron. She communicated
with the Scylla, at Messina, on the 25th. There was
also a Sardinian frigate in the port. Garibaldi was
in possession of all the Neapolitan posts in the
Straits on the Calabrian coast. The firing between
Garibaldi's outposts and the Neapolitan troops in
the citadel continued.

WHITEHAVEN AND FURNESS JUNCTION.
The haif•yearly meeting was held at Whitehaven
on Friday, the Earl of Lonsdale in the chairreport,
Mr. H. Cook, the secretary, read the
which stated that the gross receipts amounted to
£16,482, being an increase of £1,588 over those of
the corresponding half of 1859, and this increase of
revenue would be available for increase of dividend,
the expenditure for the past half-year being no
more than for the corresponding period of 1859.
The expenditure amounted to £7,030 for the past
half year against £7,102 for the corresponding half
of last year. The balance of revenue account was
£9,452, and the interest on mortgages and prefer-
ence shares being deducted, there remained £4,244
for distribution among the holders of original
shares. The directors therefore recommended the
payment of a dividend of 6s. per share, being at the

TIIIS DAY'S MAREETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat ; nevertheless the demand for
both red and white qualities ruled very inactive, at barely
the late advance in quotations. All spring corn, as well as
flour, met a slow inquiry.
The continental markets have been firm for wheat, and a
good business has been passing in all spring corn, at very
full prices. In the United States, produce generally is
still coming freely to hand, and continues to sell at very
moderate rates.

The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad, the imports
amounted to 33,510 quarters of wheat, 5,889 of barley,
51,110 oats, 3,456 beans, 1,110 peas, 120 tares, 3,300 lin-
seed, 4,748 rape-seed, 515 sundry seeds. 3,436 sacks and
32,390 barrels of flour.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale here
to-day, coastwise and by land carriage ; nevertheless,
owing to the favourable change in the steady progress of
harvest work, the demand was in a depressed state. Millers
showed no disposition to operate, and so little business was
passing that the quotations were almost nominal. The
fall, however, in them was a nominal one, compared with
Monday last, of fully 3s. per quarter. About 1,000
quarters of new wheat, in fair condition, were on offer, and
the best samples were held at 70s. per quarter; inferior
kinds sold at 48s.

There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands. Even the finest samples were quite neglected, and
the currencies may be considered 2s to 3s per quarter lower
than this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull, though offer-
ing on easier terms.
A few parcels of new barley, in middling condition, were
on offer. The best samples were held at 465, but only 44s
was bid for them. Foreign parcels supported last week's
currency.
Most descriptions of malt were in short supply, and
steady request, at very full prices.
There was less activity in the demand for oats, and, in
some instances, 'prices were a shade lower. New winter
oats, in rood condition, were'Phown.
Beans and peas—the supply of which was limited—ruled
heavy, at about previous rate:3.
The flour trade was very dull, and prices generally had
a drooping tendency.

ASSURANCE Up ON ASSURANCE.

As far as assurances can assure, there never was
a country so well assured as ours ; the Emperor
assures us at Lyons; his ambassador to the Cour
Of England endorses the assurance at St. Etienne ;
but unfortunately it is with these Imperial assur-

AssURfiNCE UPON ASSURANCE.

As far as assurances can assure, there never was
a country so well assured as ours ; the Emperor
assures us at Lyons ; his ambassador to the Cour
of England endorses the assurance at St. Etienne ;
but unfortunately it is with these Imperial assur-
ances as with assurance offices, the very sight of
them reminds us of conflagrations.

The great men of France trouble themselves un-
necessarily about our nerves, which are constitu-
tionally none of the weakest ; or if they are apt

hold the chief remedy to be in providing that no
such contract shall in future be binding until it
has laid on the table of the House of Commons for
a month, accompanied by a Treasury minute set-
ting forth the grounds on which the Government
has proceeded. If that had been the practice they
do not believe the evils disclosed in this report
could have occurred. They consider that, what-
ever may be the distribution of the businessthe re-
sponsibility of the Treasury should becomplete and
effective, since these contracts involve imperial con-
siderations, and are much more than mere Post-
office questions, and that the arrangements of the
Government should secure that all information re-
ceived by the departments shall reach the Trea-
sury, and that the decision of the Treasury shall
be faithfully carried out (which in one instance
was not done). Further, although conscious that
much must be left to the discretion of the Govern-
ment, and having reason to suppose that the
opinions of the Commissioners have been modified
by experience, they consider that, as a general
rule, contracts for services entirely new should be
put up to open competition (except where imme-
diate steps are necessary, and, it may be, in new
branches to lines already in operation); and as to
the renewal of contracts, the committee are of
opinion that the practice of renewing them to ex-
isting holders has been carried to an extent which
should no longer be sanctioned.
Lastly, they record their conviction that it is
quite practicable to dispense with large subsidies
in cases where ordinary traffic supports several
lines of steamers, and that, in the circumstances
which have for some years existed in regard to the
communication between this country and North
America, no such subsidies are required to secure a
regular, speedy, and efficient postal service.

WIIITEHAVEN JUNCTION.

The 31st half-yearly meeting of this company,
was held in the new offices, Whitehaven, on Thurs-
day, the Earl of Lonsdale in the chair.
The report stated that the gross receipts of the
company for the half-year ending the 30th of June
last had been £16,969, and the total expenditure
£9,007. The gross receipts exhibited an increase
of £3,237 over those of the corresponding period of
1859. The revenue had again been charged with
£l,OOO towards the renewal of the permanent way.
The balance available for dividend, after the pay-
ment of interest or mortgages, preferences shares,
and all other charges, was £5,397. From this sum
the directors recommended a dividend at the rate
of 8 per cent, per annum, and that £l,OOO be car-
ried to the contingency fund. This fund would
then amount to £3,000. A balance of £397 would
remain *to the credit of the current half-year.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, congratulated the shareholders on the im-
proved position of the company.
Mr. MILLER seconded the motion, and it was-
adopted.
Mr. BRAGG moved that a dividend of 16s. per
share, less income tax, be paid on the 13th of
September.
Mr. CAMERON seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.
Messrs. W. B. Clarke, W. Lamb, and W. John-
son were re-elected directors, and Mr. R. Gibson
auditor.
The proceedings. then terminated.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat ; nevertheless the demand for
both red and white qualities ruled very inactive, at barely
the late advance in quotations. All spring corn, as well as
flour, met a slow inquiry.
The continental markets have been firm for wheat, and a
good business has been passing in all spring corn, at very
full prices. In the United States, produce generally is
still coming freely to hand, and continues to sell at very
moderate rates.

The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad, the imports
amounted to 33,510 quarters of wheat, 5,889 of barley,
51,110 oats, 3,456 beans; 1,110 peas, 120 tares, 3,300 lin-
seed, 4,748 rape-seed, 515 sundry seeds. 3,436 sacks and
32,390 barrels of flour.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale here
to-day, coastwise and by land carriage ; nevertheless,
owing to the favourable change in the steady progress of
harvest work, the demand was in a depressed state. Millers
showed no disposition to operate, and so little business was
passing that the quotations were almost nominal. The
fall, however, in them was a nominal one, compared with
Monday last, of fully 38. per quarter. About 1,000
quarters of new wheat, in fair condition, were on offer, and
the best samples were held at 70s. per quarter; inferior
kinds sold at 48s.
There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands. Even the finest samples were quite neglected, and
the currencies may be considered 2s to 3s per quarter lower
than this day se'nnigbt.
Floating cargoes of grain were ♦ery dull, though offer-
ing on tk sier terms.
A few parcels of new barley, in middling condition, were
on offer. The best samples were held at 465, but only 448
was bid for them. Foreign parcels supported last week's
currency.
Most descriptions of malt were in short supply, and
steady request, at very full prices.
There was less activity in the demand for oats, and, in
some instances, prices were a shade lower. New winter
oats, in rood condition, were shown.
Beans and peas—the supply of which was limited—ruled
heavy, at about previous rates.
The flour trade was very dull, and prices generally had
a drooping tendency.
London, England, 1860-09-03

DUBLIN-AUG. 31.

We had a quiet market to-day, with prices unaltered.
The weather still unsettled, with occasional heavy showers
since Tuesday. There were several samples of new grain
at market. Indian corn very dull.

-P.R-1-117C1 tIR AT.

The following is the text of Prince M urat's letter
as published in the Turin Gazette :
" Sir,—l have received your letter, and reply to
it without reserve. I love plain dealing. I shall
never be an obstacle to the wish of the people,
however erroneous it may appear to me. I
am a relative of the Emperor, and am, conse-
quently, not free ; any act on my part would im-
plicate the policy of France; and in the present
state of unjust mistrust which parties endeavour to
excite against the Emperor, to whom I am fully
devoted, nothing could be more disastrous than to
make Europe believe that Napoleon 111., who in
reality thinks only of the welfare and independence
of nations, mediates, on the contrary, of giving
thrones to his relations.

" When revolution agitates a people the popular
will alone, freely expressed, can put an end to dis-
cords and uncertainties, because it is the supreme
law to which every good Italian must submit.
"In the actual state of things a Constitutional
Government must be established at Naples as soon
as possible, so as to establish liberty and prevent
anarchy and invasion. This suffices to prevent me
from participating in the revolutions of our king-
dom, unless the Neapolitan people, free from all ex-
ternal influence, should legally and so-
lemnly manifest its desire to have' in me
a pledge of prosperity and independence.
I should then be strong in the consent of
my cousin—then I would bring to you the French
alliance, which alone can guarantee the lasting
independence of this nation.
" I therefore make a sacrifice of my private in-
terests, and, thinking only of the public welfare, I
repeat to you what I have already said—it is my
opinion that Italy will refind in a Confederation
her former power and ancient splendour.

~ LUOIEN MURAT."

THE ROAD CHILD MURDER,—The memorial to
the Home Secretary from the Mayor and other influential
inhabitants of Bath, praying for a special commission to
investigate this mysterious tragedy, and which appeared
in The Sun of Thursday last, has been forwarded through
Mr. Tite, one of the members for the city. Mr. Tite has
communicated with the Mayor of Bath, stating that he has
had an interview with Sir G. C. Lewis, who, looking to the
grave importance of the subject and the influential names
attached to the memorial, has promieed to give the matter
his most amuous and patient consideration.

The Pelican, tender, which had been in Dover Harbour

travel by specie train from Boulogne to Paris.
The preparations for the embarkation were made by
Captain J. F. Boxer, the South-Eastern Company's naval
superintendent, assisted by Cald-ain Paul, harbour-master
at Folkestone.

Her Majesty, before keying the Pavilion, expressed her-
self to Mr. Doredant highly satisfied with the accoinmoda •

To Captain Boxer the Empress also signified her thanks.
Mr. Knight, superintendent of the South-Eastern Rail-

at Paris by the Court of Saxony, also represents
that Court at Turin. He was there for some time

but he has not been there since. M. de Seebach

and is well known for his reserve."
A Toulon letter, of the 11th, says :—" The
