WOOL MARKET.
liThere is rather more doing in English wool for expokt
purposes, at full quotations ; but the transactions for home
use contin.le on a very moderate scale. Both foreign and
colonial qualities support previous rates. Last week's im-
ports were on a liberal scale, viz., 1,575 bales from Algoa
Bay, 306 from Port Beaufort, 35 from East London, 1012,
London, England, 1859-10-24

STAMFORD—OcT. 22.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in for the most part middling
condition. On the whole, the trade was in a sluggish state,
at about previous quotations Barloy moved off steadily,
at extreme rates, but other descriptions of produce were a
slow inquiry.

Throughout the Continent very little change has taken
place in prices generally. For the most part, the supplies
have continued moderate. In the United States, the quo-
tations have had a drooping tendency.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received 19,653 qrs'
of wheat, 14,013 of barley, 29,547 oats, 170 rye, 80 beans'
4,040 peas, 20 tares, 6,685 linseed, 4,822 rapeseed, 487 sun-
dry seeds, and 160 sacks of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up, to-day,
coastwise and by land-carriage, was moderately good ; but
the general quality of the samples was by no means first-
rate. The attendance of millers was rather on the increase,
and good and fine qualities moved off steadily at fully last
Monday's currency; low and damp parcels were in some-
what improved request at full quotations.
There was rather a large quantity of foreign wheat on the
stands. For good and useful qualities the demand ruled
steady, but no change took place in their value. Other
descriptions were dull, on former terms.
We had a slow inquiry for floating cargoes off Falmouth.
Prices, however, were supported.

Although the imports of barley have been on a liberal
scale, all kinds, especially malting parcels, sold steadily,
at extreme currencies.

There was only a moderate inquiry for malt; never-
theless, prices were well supported. • _ .

The show of oats was good, yet tho demand was in a
healthy state, at previous currencies.

prices were barely maintained.

THE TREATY OF ZURICH.

Le Nord of Saturdey publishes another version
of the Zurich Treaty as coming from " a respectable
source," and expresses an opinion that this is the
true one. It will be seen that this new resume is
much less detailed than the other. The following
is the text of it as given in Le Nord:—
" The treaty regulates the conditions of the ces-
sion of Lombardy to the Emperor of the• French,
who reserves to himself the power to transfer both
the rights and obligations to the King of Sardinia.
" France engages that Austria shall be paid a
sum of about 100,000,000, of which a quarter is to
be paid down at the time of the exchange of the
ratifications of the treaty. Moreover, a part of the
Monte-Lombardo-Venetian debt will be saddled
upon the new possessor of that province.
" A special commission will fix the precise limits
of the frontier ; the boundary line opposite Peschiera
must be 3,500 metres across.
" There are other minores arrangements concern-
ing Lombardy ; jurisdictions, rights of citizenship
and naturalisation, religious congregations, abroga-
tion of certain contracts, payment of pensions, &c.
" The treaty contains articles concerning all the
points touched upon by the preliminaries at Villa-
tranca.
" The rights of the Dukes are reserved, and not
only those of the Dukes of Tuscany and Modena,
but those also of the Duke of Parma, of whom no
mention was made at Villafranca.
"The Pontifical Government will be advised to
grant reforms in order to assure tranquillity in' the
states of the church and to consolidate his power.
"There will be an Italian confederation, and in
order to assure the inviolability and independence
of the Italian states, their moral and material pro-
gress, and their internal and external security, there
will be a federal army. The two Emperors will
favour the formation of this confederation. Venetia
will form a part of it on an equal footing with the
rest of Italy.
" The Pope to be honorary president.
" There is also an amnesty, but rather a restricted
one, since it only extends to those who took part in
the last movements in the peninsula."

THE BOMBAY MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING.

The Ripon steamer, Captain Field, has arrived.
She left Alexandria October 9th ; Malta, 13th ;
Gibraltar, 13th; and brings 110 passengers, £215
in specie, and a cargo of oranges, raisins, silk, flax,
and sundries.

_
Admiral Mundy's fleet was at Malta, and Ad•
miral Fanshawe's at Gibraltar.

The Princess Royal left Gibraltar for England
on the 17th.
The French and Spanish squadrons continued off
Algesiras.
Our Gibraltar correspondent, writing at 4 p.m.
on the 18th, says :—" We learn just now, via Spain,
that the declaration of war against Morocco has

seen made."
Letters of the 17th from Tangier state that the
Spanish Consul was expected to strike his flag in the
course of the day, and war was considered to be
inevitable. _ _ •

One of the boats of her Majesty's ship Coquette
was upset in the surf off Tangier on the morning of
the 14th. The crew all picked up, but one man
has since died.
The Delta steamer, hence on the 12th, arrived at
Gibralar on the 17th, and proceeded.
. _

Very boisterous weather had been experienced
on the coast of Morocco at Tangier.
The brig Lord Palmerston, from Marseilles, for
England, laden with Indian corn, had run ashore
off Tarifa, and, after discharging part of her cargo,
was got off and taken to Gibraltar in a very leaky
state. She would have to discharge.

THE ARMY.

A considerable amount of alarm was occasioned I
to the officers and troops of the Royal Engineers on
parade at Brompton Barracks, Chatham, on Satur- •
day afternoon, in consequence of a serious accident
which befell Capt. G. H. Gordon, RE., while the
troops were undergoing their inspection. During
the temporary absence on leave of Major Stopford,
Capt. Gordon has been performing the duties of
Adjutant to the Royal Engineers, and on Saturday
afternoon was assisting in manoeuvring the men,
when the horse he was riding, which is a very
spirited animal belonging to Major Stopford, sud-
denly reared up and threw Capt. Gordon on his
back, the horse turning completely over and falling
heavily upon him. Several of the Royal Engineers

Her Majesty the Queen held an Investiture of the Most

as her Majesty passed to her seat.
The Knights of the Thistle were called over by the Secre-

The officers of the Order in attendance were the Secretary,
Sir John Stewart Richardson, Bart., and the Gentleman
Usher of the Green Rod, Frederic Peel Round, Esq.

at the Chapter table, and her Majesty's pleasure was sig-
nified touching the election of a Knight into the Order

were collected by the Secretary, and by him, kneeling, were
presented to the Sovereign.
The Queen declared " the most Honourable Archibald
Marquis of Ailsa had been duly elected a Knight of the most
ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle."

The Marquis of Ailsa was received at the door of the
Chapter•room by the two Junior Knights, and, supported
on the right by the Duke of Montrose and on the left by
the Duke of Atholl, was conducted to her Majesty, preceded
by the Secretary (bearing the ensigns of the Order on a

THE THREE PATHS,
By HERBERT. GREY, M.A.,

" The main object of Mr. Grey will be popular with the
ladies. It is to show that well assorted matrimony is better
than wild living or glumpy bachelorhood. The book indi-
cates thought, ability, and spirit."—Spectator,

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 8, 1859,

THE ARMY.

The 2d battalion of the 22d Regiment, which has
been wholly raised at Preston, Lancashire, left the
Fulwood barracks for the camp at Aldershot last
Friday afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon the new breech-loading can-
non, which has been invented by Mr. Warry, of
the Royal Engineer barracks, Brompton,was again
experimented with at Chatham, for the purpose of
putting the gun to tests of a different character to
those tried on the occasion of the former experi-
ments. Since the description of this cannon ap-
peared, the inventor has effected another great
improvement in the method of firing it, by which
nearly 20 rounds per minute—or nearly double
those fired at former experiments--can now be dis-
charged from the gun. This improvement consists
of a lever, of an exceedingly simple contrivance,
placed on the left side of the breech, which by a
single movement cuts the cartridge, primes the
nipple, closes the breech, and fires the gun, the
whole of the operations enumerated being effected
instantaneously. The first of the experiments tried
yesterday with the gun was that of tiring a shell at
a portion of canvass suspended at the end of the
range. For this purpose one of Captain Norton's
leaden shells was inserted in the gun and fired at
the canvas, against which it exploded on striking,
the object being to show that metal shells, charged
with Capt. Norton's " liquid fire," may be made to
fracture on striking canvas. Another shell of lead
was then fired from the same gun into a mass of
soft clay, the shell exploding on striking and enter-
ing. In this shell of Capt. Norton's the percussion
appliance is placed below the mouth of the missile,
so that the ramrod cannot press on it in the act of
ramming it home. The result of this experiment
proved that such shells are sure to explode on strik-
ing and entering claymounds or earthworks, where
the Boxer fuze and the Moorsom percussion shell
fail to be effective. Mr. Warry's breech-loading
invention can be applied to any metal guns, of
whatever size, which can be rifled and rendered fit
for service at an estimated cost of one-fourth the
expense of turning out one of Sir W. Armstrong's
rifled cannon.

if the credit of India' ecame disordered, that of England
must be brought forward to support it. Upon every prin-
ciple of equity, when the Government of India was assumes}
directly by the Crown it was taken with all its liabilities,
and a possible contingent liability could not be repudiated.
The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be

" Those about entering the Marriage State should peruse
Dr. Watson's invaluable little work, as the advice he gives on
health and disease reflects much credit upon him as a sound
medical philosopher."—Critic.
" The true Guide to those who desire a speedy and private

SARDINIA.

The Opinione of Turin of the 4th, not withstanding
the general opinion which prevails that the mission
of Lord Cowley will be attended with some favour-
able result, has the bad faith to affirm that Austria,
fortified in Piacenza, and able when she pleases to
bring troops into the Duchies, being convinced of
war being inevitable, intends to invade Piedmont.
A letter published in that journal even goes the
length of fixing the day for the pretended invasion.
" More than 800 men," says the writer, " are every
day employed on the fortifications of Piacenza.
These works have more particularly for object to
protect, in case of need, the retreat of the Austrians.
It is stated that they are to cross the Po on the
14th, and surprise the Piedmontese army."
_ _ _

A Vienna letter of the 4th, in the German Jour-
nal of Frankfort, says :—" The conferences between
Lord Cowley and Count do Buol are for the mo-
ment suspended. It is stated that the Cabinet of
Vienna has made such statements on the subject
of special treaties with the different Italian States,
that his lordship has found it necessary to refer the
matter to his Government, and that a Cabinet courier
has been despatched to London to apply for fresh•
instructions."
