MALTA.

The cholera continues to rage at Malta. It had
broken out on board H.M.S. Bellerophon, which has
been ordered to England in consequence.

THE TURKISH FLEET.
The Turkish fleet, under the orders of Grand
Admiral Suleiman Pacha, cast anchor in the port of
Smyrna on the sth instant, coming
from the Ourlac
Islands. The fleet consists of the men-of.war first
class, the Neiri-Chewket, bearing the flag of the
Grand Admiral, and the Messoudi6 ; the Nusretie
and the Nizamie, second class ; the frigates Navili-
Bahri and ; the corvette Nazmi-Feehan,
the brig Kaysi-Zafer, schooner Nev'i•Essar, cutter
Serzi-Djaia, and two war-steamers, the Tairi-Bahri
and B6chi-Tidjaret. The squadron entered the
roadstead in full sail, with a stiff breeze from the
west, and cast anchor in perfect order in a semicircle,
the two steamers in front. Salutes wero exchanged
between the town, the squadron, and the foreign
vessels in port.

The civil and military authorities paid their respects
to the Admiral on board his ship. The consular body
and the officers of the vessels in port also paid their
respects to the Admiral. The Turkish corvette, on
signals from the man-of-war, fired salutes, according
to the rank of the dignitaries, when they left the ship.
The squadron is said to he commanded by experi-
enced officers, and the vessels and crews will bear the
closest inspection. .

The squadron was to get under weigh on the 7th
for Constantinople.

Yesterday morning a fire broke out at the station
of the Great No. thern Railway, Battle-bridge. A small
wooden bridge, forming part of the train line, was discovered
to be in flames, but they were soon extinguished by the fire-
men without much damage; the cause was attributed to a
spark from the furnace.

MINING IN NORTH WALES.—Mining in North
Wales has received a decided impetus from the late dis-
covery of several valu3ble lodes both in Flintshire and Me-
rionethshire.

Tht, worl:ing men of Milhourne Port have sub-
scribed 15,. 21. towards the memorial to the late Sir IL
Peel. This sum was collected principally in pence.
IVir. Gordon has retired from the contest for the
representation of Poole. The nomination is appointed for
Monday.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, Tfl7o O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken
for export. The market closed tamely with little varia-
tion in prices.—In Railway Shares a good business was
done, pricer, in some instances, rather lower.
The produce markets have been brisk this week, and
holders by their firmness have succeeded in establishing
a further rise in Sugar, Coffee also being dearer. The
export orders are satisfactory, and the home consump-
tion is large. In Tea there has been no improvement,
provisions have had a good sale, and Rice has been in
request because of the firm tone of the corn markets.
Tallow has been maintained. The Indigo quotations
are fully supported, and a further quantity is declared
for the forthcoming auctions. The Wool sales have
concluded, and very high prices have been obtained.
Cotton also is once again in the ascendant upon the less
favourable report of the crop.
Further information bas been obtained by express
concerning the contents of the Overland Mail dispatches,
but there is nothine important. The weather was more
favourable for the Indigo crop.
The steamer Atlantic has arrived from the United
States, but we have only an outline of her news by tele-
graph. The letters will probably be delivered in town
to-morrow. Commercial affairs were prosperous, Bread-
stuffs quiet, Cotton active and dearer. Exchange ort.Loc-
don, 110 to 1101.
The Hamburgh mail of Tuesday last brings ti-s rate
of exchange on London again a shade lower —viz.,
13 6i. Not much was doing in bills. Coffee was still in
trick demand, and rather deafer. Grain was dull.
In the Amsterdam Bourse, on the Bth instant, Dutch
Stock was not quite so firm, being 51 for tho Two-and-
a-Half per Cents. Spanish Bonds were active, at about
previous rates. Mexican and Peruvian Bonds were in
demand, and dearer

The Mexican correspondence in reference to the debt
is rather active just now, and a communication we have
received from the Committee of Bondholders shows bow
great is the necessity for vigilance. Up to the end of
July 200,000 dollars have been paid to Messrs. Manning
and Mackintosh on account of tobacco duties, and yet
not a sixpence has been remitted by them, while they
have also rcceivtd 73,000 dollars for the Cotton licenses.
A partial remedy for this neglect has at least been found
by the removal of the agency. The following will bet-
ter explain how matters stand at present:—
"Committee of Mexican Bondholders, London,
61, Moorgate-street, Sept. 19, 1850.
"The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have re-
ceived bill of lading for 10,202 dollars, shipped by the
Great Western from Tampico, whore, on the 18th ult.,
13,095 dollars 8 cents more appear to have been pend-
ing for account of the Bondholders. The Great Wes-

tern, therefore, brings from Tampico and Vera Cruz to-
gether 50 761 dollars 7 cents, but no remittance from
Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh in Mexico. The
agents in Tepic advise the receipt of 6,906 dollars 18
cents from the Custom-house of San Bias, for account
of the bondholders. Mr. Manuel Escandon, of
Vexico, writes in reply to a letter from the committee
up to the 31st July last, 200,000 dollars have been
raid to Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh, in Mexico,
out of the tobacco revenue for account of the Bend-
holders, and that the Government has provided that the
payments from that revenue shall in future be paid
monthly, and direct to the Bank of England. With
resreA to the cotton licenses, Mr. Escandon as yet ap-
pears to rely on the formal character of their sale to him,
observing tat he has already paid to Messrs. Alarming
and Mackintosh two amounts of 25,000 and 48,000
dollars on account of them."

At the meeting of the South-Eastern and Continental
Steam Packet Company held this day, a dividend for the
hta-year at the rate of four per cent. per annum was
declared, leaving a balance of 4,3061. to be carried to the
reserve fund, increasing it to 19,5311. The report was
adopted.

There is a very quiet but steady market for Public
Securities, and the value of Consols is still 96i
for Transfer, and 96i -a for Account. Exchequer-bills
are 64+. to 675. premium.

Foreign Secuiities are supported. Spanish Three per
Cents. have been done as high as 37i and 38. The
Five per Cents. are 19 to 1. Mexican Bonds have
realized 30i to 31, and Peruvian 82. Buenos Ayres
Stock has been at 58 to 591. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. have been 574.
Railway Shares are again rather flat, and upon the
recent advanced prices there is a reaction.
