METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was very inferior. All
breeds met a dull inquiry at Monday's decline in the quo-
tations. Although the show of sheep was rather limited,
the mutton trade ruled heavy, and late rates wero with
difficulty supported. We have to report a very dull in-
quiry for calves, at from 2d to 4d per 81bs less money. The
supply was seasonably good. The pork trade was some-
what heavy, and milch cows commanded very little atten-
tion at about previous rates.

Per 81bs to sink the offal.

271 E EXPI, OSION OF "17 PLASTOON.

-4"---

With rcfe rcict tc the racl'aucholy loss of the
Imperial steam clipper Piastoon, by the explosion
of her powder magazine, mentioned in my last, I
am enabled to send you the following copy of a
private letter from one of the survivors, Dr. Johan-
son, the surgeon of the ship, to a relative of his in
this city:—

" On the 18th of August, about five p.m., the
squadron, consisting of the steamers Rynda, Novik,
and Plastoon, o. n their return from the Pacific after
an absence of nearly three years, arrived off the
entrance to the Gulf of Finland, and were bowling
along with a fresh breeze and rather high sea. We
were just abreast of the Island of Hoogland (not
Heligoland, as incorrectly printed in our last num-
ber), and I was sitting in my cabin engaged in put-
ting in order my papers and collections of plants and
shells, which had cost me so much time, expense, and
labour, when I heard a sharp explosion, which, how-
ever, did not sound louder to me than the usual re-
port of one of the ship's guns, and I at first took
but little notice of the circumstance, under the
impression that it was the commencement of a
salute to some ship of war or battery we might be
passing. As, however, the report was not repeated,
and recollecting that something was being done in
the powder magazine, I scrambled upon deck,
where I found everything in the greatest confusion,
the decks strewed with dead bodies, and the ship in
a sinking state. I jumped with several of the sea-
men into the barge between the masts, the fasten-
ings being hastily cut away, and scarcely had we
taken our places when the vessel went down with
a heavy plunge. The foremast, as I learned after-
wards, was seen to shoot up like a rocket, but in the
sinking of the ship oar boat was capsized by com-
ing in contact with the shrouds and rigging of the
mainmast, and we were all thrown into the water.
When I again reached the surface the vessel was no
longer visible, and the sea was covered with pieces
of floating wreck, among
which I noticed several
human heads bobbing up and down with the waves.
I managed to seize a large block belonging to one
of the gun tackles, and then a bale of sail cloth that
was floating near me, but the latter I was soonlob-
liged to abandon, as it began to sink as soon as
saturated with the sea water; but luckily just then
I caught hold of an oar, with which I managed to
support myself for some time. Hearing human
cries near me, I looked round and perceived a boat
upside down, to which were clinging
ten poor
fellows. The next time the wave raised me high
enough to obtain a sight of the boat there were only
four left, all the others having perished. Just as
my strength was beginning to fail nie I saw a boat
approaching, on my hailing which a rope was
thrown to me, with which I was hauled on board
and saved, though in a very exhausted state; but I
have to lament the loss of nine brother-officers and
86 of the seamen and marines."—London and China

COUNTRY MARKETS.
London, England, 1860-10-18

elsewhere in various quarters of the Continent pro-
vocations to a war that we believe to be as inevi-
table as in the event of its outbreak it can hardly
fail this time to be general throughout Christen-

dom.
There is Turkey gravitating now more rapidly
than ever towards its long-approaching dissolution
and dismemberment. The sick man at length is
obviously at last sick even unto death. Nor is
there any probability that the Western Allies will
again consent to sustain him once more through
the crisis, at a cost to themselves of so much lavish
expenditure both of blood and treasure. France
and England regard each other with too reasonable
a jealousy, have manifestly too much cause to
husband their strength for more important pur-
poses, to admit of their again dedicating their
energies to the maintenance at all cost of
the integrity of the Ottoman Porte. While
Sardinia has in another way no less cause
to retain her own troops near at hand upon the soil
of that widened and widening home of hers which

has already expanded from the frontiers of the
Piedmontese kingdom until it has even now nearly
embraced the whole boundary line of the Roman

peninsula.

Hungary, again, is still, moreover, in eager ex-
pectancy for the signal of her emancipation. So
likewise is it at this moment more than ever here-
tofore with the whole of the murdered Polish

nationality.
How far the Northern Powers are alive to the
imminence of the present juncture is plainly
enough indicated by the meeting at this particular
time, in Warsaw, of the rulers of Prussia, Austria,
and all the Russias. As for Imperial France the
multiplication of her warlike enterprises at Cher-
bourg and Toulon, the rapid increase of her naval
power generally, the hasty pouring in of fresh
troops, day by day, into Central Italy, all this, and
much more, has about it a peculiar and sinister sig-
nificance. As for ourselves, we have the satis-
faction at least of knowing that we have, per-
haps, never been less likely, at any period
of our history, to be taken at anything to all
like a disadvantage. During thi4 last year of
peace for example our warlike expenditure upon
the two services has exceeded as we have only too
great reason perhaps to remember the enormous
aggregate of £30,000,000 sterling. We are likewise
peculiarly alive now-a-days as a nation to all the
latest scientific warlike improvements—in ships of
war, in erdnance, and in projectiles. Above all,
within—,

" This fortress built by nature for herself;"
within this island-home of ours-
-44 Encompassed by the inviolate sea,"
that protective sea (as SHAKsPERE sings through
the dying lips of old JOHN of GAUNT, time-honoured
Lancaster)—
" "Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house
Against the envy of less happier lands,"

—here, within the compass of our own dominion,
we have the whole nation armed or arming, in the
patriotic ranks of that true National Guard the
Rifle Volunteers.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated the 15th inst., says :
" It is asserted that the interview at Coblentz has
proved the understanding between England and
Prussia both in the Eastern, as well as in the Italian
questions. The Prussian note, which will shortly
be sent to Turin, will be couched in the following
effect. It will serve as a more detailed reply to the
Sardinian memorandum of the 12th of September,
which has already, perhaps, received a provisional
reply. The note will allude to mote recent events
in support of the remonstrances of Prussia. It may
be observed, that this note was drawn up after the
interview between Baron Schleinitz and Lord John
Russell. It is now almost certain that Baron
Schleinitz will go to IVarsaw, the presence of Prince
Gortschakoff and of Count Rechberg being an-
nounced as certain.

According to the Neue Preussische Zeitung,

Russia has decided upon recalling her. Ambassador
from Turin, and going further than France in break-
ing off diplomatic relations with the Piedmontese
Government. The motive for this measure is attri-
buted to agitation which prevails in Poland and
Hungary."

PEOPLE'S PHILHARMONIC CON-
CERTS, EXETER HALL.

Last night the Oratorio of the " Messiah" was
performed in a very creditable manner by this
society. The numerous company present appeared
in every way satisfied with the entertainment. The
chief singers were Mr. Weiss and Mr. Wilbye
Cooper, Madame Catherine Hayes, Madame Laura
Baxter, and Madame Gilbert. Of these Mr. Weiss
was the best, and the admirable manner in which
he rendered the beautiful, " Why do the nations so
furiously rage together," &c., was most effective
and drew down considerable applause. Mr. IV ilbye
Cooper was also very successful in the celebrated
solo, " Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron."
The splendid Hallelujah Cb orus, which is one of the
most striking of all the chef d'auvres in sacred
music, was very impressively executed, and elicited
cordial testimonies of approbation. Madame
Catherine Hayes's artistic style seemed to give
universal satisfaction, and on the whole it must be
considered that this attempt to afford the public the
advantage of hearing first-rate compositions at a
very moderate cost, was very successfully carried
out, and there is no reason to doubt that the suc-
ceeding performances will be less happy in,their
results. On next Wednesday, Mendelsshon's
"Elijah" will be performed.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I have never been in Italy, and I have just returned
from Scotland. I am, therefore, perfectly amazed at reading
in a telegram, published by yesterday's newspapers, that
the Pro. Dictator Pallavicino has " forbidden me to open
national workshops." This fable is, lam afraid, worse than
ridiculous. It had probably been set afloat for the purpose
of working credulous people into a belief that Naples is at
present a nest for cosmopolitan schemers. At all events,
it is calculated to revive the systematic calumny which has
fathered upon me those "national workshops" of 1848,
which, far from being established by me, were established
against me, that is, in utter opposition to my principles,
with a view to counterbalance my influence, and were,
according to M. Lamartine's public confession, " the de-
vice of my adversaries."
The Italian Pro-Dictator must be well enough ac
quainted with contemporary history to know this. Con-
sequently, even in the event of my having repaired to
Naples—which is not the case—he would have been under
no necessity of forbidding M. Louis Blanc to open national
workships—l am, &c., LOUIS BLANC.

TILE LONGEST VESSELD IN THE
WORL.

We have just received an official report of the perform-
ance of a river steam vessel, or articulated train of barges,
belonging to the Oriental Inland Steam Company, and in.
tended to navigate the shallow rivers of the east, which
possesses peculiar scientific interest from the fact of this
compost *to vessel being the longest vessel ever yet con-
structed, being nearly half as long again as the Great
Eastern. It appears that on trial this great vessel or train
was found to be easily manageable, and attained a satisfac-
tory rate of speed ; and its success solves the important pro-
blem of how to carry a very large cargo on a very small
draught of water against a rapid stream. The train consists
of a steamer and five barges, of the collective length of 900
feet. Put these barges, instead of being towed asunder like
common barges, are joined to one another by circular joints
like a hinge, so that they constitute one longe flexible ves-
sel, with only one bow and one stern. The purpose of this
arrangement is to obtain the necessary displacement with
small resistance, and without the risk of damage, should
the vessel get aground; and all these conditions are effectu-
ally fulfilled by the arrangements adopted. The train is 30
feet broad and about 7 feet deep. At a draught of water of
3 feet it will carry about 3,000 tons of cargo. Such a vessel
is greatly needed at the present moment to carry up railway
materials in India, and to bring down cotton, flax, and other
articles of agricultural produce.—. Engineer.

M.D., Surgeon.—At the NINTH ANNUAL GENE-
RAL MEETING of the GOVERNORS of the CANCER
HOSPITAL, London, held in the Board-room, on Fiiday,
June 22, 1860,
It was resolved, That the cordial thanks of this Meeting
are pre-eminently due, and are hereby tendered to William
Marsden, Esq., M.D., principal surgeon of this Charity, for
his zealous and unremitting exertions on behalf of the afflicted
patients brought under his charge. That this anniversary
specially recognises, under the Divine blessing, Dr. Marsden's
singularly successful treatment of the distressing disease of
cancer, his liberal devotion of so much valuable time and atten-
tion in intercepting, arresting, and more or less relieving the
larze number of cases annually admitted into the Hospital, or
treated as out-patients, his careful tabulation of the origin,
symptoms, and pathological development of the cases open at
any time to the inspection of medical practitioners, the ex-
perience derived from which materially influences the treat-
ment of wealthier patients suffering from the same painful
malady. That the above resolution be engress,,d, and pre-
sented in a suitable form, to Dr. Marsden ; and that it be in-
serted in the leading morning and evening papers.
Signed, by order of the Meeting,
OLIVER FARRER, Chairman.

The official returns relating to trade and naviga-
tion for the nine months ending the 30th Septem-
ber have just been published. From these it
appears that the total declared value of the exports
from the United Kingdom for the above period
have been £101,724,346 against £98,037,311 in the
like period of 1849. showing an increase of
£3,687,035. The increase is most perceptible in
cotton manufactures, cotton yarn, earthenware, linen
yarn, machinery, salt, silk manufactures, British
spirits,sheep and lambs wool, and woollen manufac-
tures. The importations of the principal articles have
been larger as regards live animals, cocoa, coffee,
wheat, flour, raw cotton, fruit, leather manufac-
tures, provisions, spices, unrefined sugar, tallow,
tea, tobacco, wine, and sheep and lambs' wool. The
shipping accounts exhibit a slight decrease in the
amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade
of the United Kingdom for the nine months for the
entries inwards ; but for the clearances outwards
there is an increase of 327,303 tons. In the coast-
ing trade for the like period there were 455,940
tons more employed for the entries inwards, and
520,968 tons for the clearance outwards than they
were in the previous year.
Increased business is apparent in the Market for
Public Securities owing to some speculative sales.
Farther withdrawals of gold are anticipated, and
the movement it is thought will precipitate an ad-
vance in the rate of discount. Consols are 923-, for
money, and the Bth inst., and 921 93 for the De-
cember account. The New 3 per Cents. and the
Reduced have declined to 911 9 ; Bank Stock has
improved to 232 ; India Loan is steady at 1021
103 ; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper is heavy at
95 ; Exchequer Bills remain at 2s. dis. to 2s. prem.
Since Monday last the imports of specie have
amounted to about £157,120, and the exports to
£178,310.
Foreign Securities have been dealt in to a mode-
rate extent, but prices in some instances have
slightly receded. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 70 to
704 ; ditto New, 55 to 551 ; and the 4 per Cents.
are heavy at 1012; Mexican, at 222; Spanish
Deferred, at 392-, ; and Venezuela, at 22:1 ; Brazi-
lian 41 per Cents. remain. at 88.1 ; and Sardinian
are firm at 858.

The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 1 y to 2
prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, prem. ; and
the Universal, a 2 prem.
Business in the Railway Share Market continued
dull, and the few transactions entered into were at
slightly reduced rates. North-Western, South-
Western, and Midland declined 55.; Great
Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, -10 s. ;
and Bristol and Exeter, £l.

The Foreign lines remained very quiet. South
Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian realised 111;
and Great Luxemberg, 64
4.
In the Colonial Market Grand Trunk of Canada
decline to 231 24; and Great Western of Canada
to I'4.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
have barely maintained former rates. Union of
London declined 55.; and Canada Land ad-
vanced 10s.

The Bank of England return, completed to the
24th October, shows no material alteration. The
bullion has been slightly diminished owing to the
increased demand for coin for circulation in Scot-
land. There is an augmentation in the reserve of
notes of about a quarter of a million sterling.
The increase in the demand for money, owing to an
impression that the minimum rates was likely to
be advanced has caused an addition of nearly half
a million to the other securities, both the public
and private deposits have been considerably aug-
mented, and the return generally may be considered
of a satisfactory character. The various items and
the changes they present are shown in the sub-
joined table :

cently issued respecting providing separate quarters
for married soldiers, has been issued to the army at
home and abroad by the Duke of Cambridge :
" Tier Majesty having by a recent warrant largely ex-
tended the indulgences conferred upon the married soldiers,
his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief
requests that officers commanding regiments will use their
best endeavours to secure these benefits for deserving
soldiers.

" His Royal Highness has reason to believe that in some
instances these advantages have been conferred upon men
of indifferent character, to the prejudice of those who, by
their good conduct and length of service have established a
claim to these indulgences.
" It is the duty of commanding officers most carefully to
consider these claims, and when deserving soldiers cannot
be admitted on the strength of their corps as married men,
their applications should be registered.— By command,
" JAMES YORKE SCARLETT, Adjutant-General."
Yesterday orders were received at Chatham from
the War-office directing Mr. Stump, the Govern-
ment contractor, to commence forthwith the erec-

ing been engaged in clearing the ground and mak-

LIVERPOOL--OcT. 26.
There was a fair attendance of both millers and dealers
at this morning's market ; we had a moderate consumptive
business in wheat, which may be quoted at about ld to 2d
per cental under the former rates. Flour was in moderate
inquiry, and must be noted 6d per barrel and sack dearer.
In Indian corn there was a less demand. Oats and oat-
meal in better demand, at 6d per load over late rates. Peas
brought very full rates. Beans sold readily at is per qr
dearer.
