lONIAN ISLANDS.

Letters from Corfu of the 11th mention a dispatch
addressed by Sir G. WARD, Lord High Commissioner
of the lonian Isles, to M. AMASCEIINO, Vice-Presi-
deet of the Senate, in which he states that the muni-
cipality and the medical commission have represented
to him the necessity of taking stringent precautions
against the invasion of the cholera, hut that the mea-
sures they recommend are of the molt extraordinary
character, being as follows :—That a quarantine of
twenty-five days be laid on all arrivals from Trieste
or Malta; that all vessels from Cephalonia be rigo-
rously prevented from approaching Corfu ; and that
some uninhabited rock be assigned to those Cephaloni-
ans who desire to quit their native island during the
cholera. The Lord High Commissioner then severely
comments on the injudiciousness of such mea-
sures, observing, among other things, that, by the
quarantine of 25 days la-d upon arrivals from Trieste,
upwards of 100 men, now gaining a livelihood at
Manduchio by the Austrian Lloyd's steamers, would
be thrown out of employment ; that thousands would
suffer the same fate from the suspension of commerce,
and that the price of provisions, mostly received from
foreign parts, would rise considerably, while the
means of procuring them would diminish in propor-
tion. Nevertheless, in order to yield a certain mea-
sure to public opinion, the Lord 'High Commissioner
consents to lay a quarantine of twenty days upon
arrivals from Cephalonia, and of sixteen upon those
from Malta, while, as far as Trieste is concerned, he
will wait for official information on the sanitary
conditions of Vienna from the British Consul-Ge-
neral there.

Lord John Russell, at the close of his visit to her
Majesty, at Balmoral, proceeds to Minto-house, near Hawick,
on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Minto, where Lady
John Russell and family have already arrived. After a short
stay at Minto•house, the Premier and her Ladyship and
family will go to Richmond-park for the winter.

Sir George Grey will remain with the Queen unti:
the return of the Court to London.

LAUNCH IN THE CLYDE.—Yesterday afternoon,
shortly after two o'clock, one of the finest vessels ever built
on the Clyde was launched from the building-yard of Messrs.
Tod and M'Gregor, at Partick. Her engines are of 460
horse-power, and ber burden 1,200 tons. She has been built
for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company,
and has been appropriately named the Singapore. Miss Tod,
daughter of the senior member of the firm, by whom the
vessel was erected, gave the designation to the vessel. In a
short time a companion to the Singapore, and to be named
the Ganges, will be launched by the same parties. The day
was beautiful, and as usual a large crowd of spectators
cheered the steamer into her future element.— Scotsman of
Wednesday.
LICENSED LIGHTEEMEN.—The Commi,kioners of
Customs have determined that all craft used in the tranship-
ment of foreign goods, within the port of London, must,
on and after the Ist of November next, be provided with the
necessary accommodation to protect the tide-waiters from
the inclemency of the weather. This step has been found
absolutely necessary, many of the men having been frost-
bitten, and, in one or two instances, during severe weather,
fr.( zen to death.

SAVINGS•I3ANKS.—Another blue-book, printed by
order of the House of Commons, was yesterday published.
It contains the report of the Committee (given before), and
the evidence before them on savings-banks. The Committce
make some suggestiors, which will no doubt be attended to
when the Savings-bank Bill of last session is again brought
forward.

ROYAL MA RINES.—WOOLWICII, SET. 25—An
order was received here yesterday evening for Lieut. hit.
chard to proceed with the detachment for service in the

placed on the North Kent R4ilway to convey the 2 sergeants
2 corporals, two drummers, and 80 privates of the Woolwich
division to London, en route to Plymouth, under the c.nn-
mand of Captain Hopkins, with Lieutenant Pritchard. One
corporal and eight privates of this division were selected this
morning, and immediately embarked in the Firefly, tor ser-
vice on the coast of Africa.

LADY PEEL AT JEUSEY.—in the afternoon of
Saturday, as Lady Peel, accompanied by Captain, Mr. and
Miss Peel, were proceeding to town in a phaeton from Pon-
tac, in descending the steep hill, at St. Clement's, the horse
fell, hurting its shoulders and legs, and breaking one of the
shafts of the vehicle. Lady Peel and family, we are happy
to add, received no injury.— Weeern Luminary.
LONDON AND BRIODTON RAILWAY.—TIIIS com-
pany's excursion train from Brighton, •on Tuesday, brought
4(0 persons into London.

MORAYSHIRE RAILWAY.—Steps are being token
for carrying out this line of eleven rnileP .through the county
of Elgin, and for which an Act of Pai;lament was obtained
iu 1816.

A VENERABLE CHANCERY Sin:r.—The Chancery
suit of the Attorney- General v. Trevelyan is now 161
years old.

MONEY ani COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were estimated at
3,000 bales, of which 300 were taken for export. The
market closed heavily, at about Oct. psr lb. advance on
Friday's rates, except for Egyptian!, which were un-
elianged.—The Share Market was firm, and prices were
advancing.
The sales of grain in the markets which regulate the
duties, cemplised last week 103,850 quarters of wheat,
and 6 208 quarters of barley.
A ststeurent of the commerce of Belgium for the first
eight months cf the present year shows a great increase
it i the imports cf raw sugar, and a decrease in coffee
aid :tobacco. Complaints are made that the French
Customs authorities were seizing, on the northern fron-
tier, certain descriptions of textile fabrics, which have
always hitherto been allowed to be imported, and the
reason supposed is that the "marks" were not according
to law. 'Pais, however, is not officially stated.
From Trieste there are unfavourable reports concern-
ing the first crop in the Morea and the islands, the cur-
rants having suffered greatly by the heavy rains. There
had been a large quantity of fruit dcstroy-ed, and not
above 45,000,000ib5. of currants would be good.
In the Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 24th inst.,
very hitlo was doing in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., which were 57 1-16 to A-. Spanish Bonds were
more freely brought to market.
At the meeting to-day of South Sea House Proprie-
tors, a committee of bye-laws was appointed, and a state-
ment of accounts was submitted, which showed a balance
due from the company of 4,5001.
The English Stick Market has been rather depressed,
sales having been made for transfer, but at the period
of our writing, a rally is perceptible. Consuls have
been 96a _a foe Transfer, and 96} -g- for Account. There
has been very little time business doing. Exchequer-
bills have teen marked 635. to 663., and India Bonds
83s. premium. India Stock is at '268.
Communications of no smell importance have been
sent by the Mexican Government to the Committee of
Bondholders, and it is to be regretted that they should
tell so much against a firm that has for years been pre-
sumed to be of extreme punctuality, and alive to the in-
terests of the foreign creditors for whom it acted as
agents. There can be uo doubt, however, that Messrs.
Manning and Mackintosh are fairly open to the censure
of the Government for so long detaining the 200,000
dollars arising from the tobacco duty collections, and
that these ought to have long since been in the Back of
England. The case is sufficiently cruel where the ne-
cessities of a country prevent the payment of a dividend
on its loans, but to have delays when the amount is in
hand, seems intolerable. The sums obtained also for the
cotton liceese; ought to have been remitted, and every
one here who hold Mexican stock feels in-
debtLd to the new Finance Minister M. Payne,
fur his energetic proceeding; in endeavouring to clear
up the cause of the delay, and failing satisfactory expla-
nations, at once order;ng the collectors to gay the amount
of dulee to the Academy of San Carlos for din c: trans-
mission to the bondholders in England. Colonel Fecio
sill have the pleasing task of writing to Mexico that M.
Payno ha; won golden opinions here, and elevated the
ational character, both by his admirable financial re-
ports and his activity, and great hopes aro entertained
that he will apply himself to that great desideratum, the
revision of the tariff.

done at 3i; Belgian Four-and•a-Half per Cents. are
