.TAI. Y.

The Marquis of BALESTRINO, Secretary to the Sar-
dinian Legation at Naples, arrived at Leghorn on the
16th, on board the Castor steamer, on his way to
Turin. The object of his mission is said to relate to
the refusal of the Neapolitan Government to admit
Sardinian subjects within its territory.
The' Armonia, a Turin journal, belonging to the
clerical party, states, in its number of the 18th, that
the instructions given to Cher. PINELLI wert', that he
should apply at Rome for the removal of Monsignor
FRANZONI from the See of Turin, and not treat of
other matters, until he had gained that point. The
case against onsignor FRANZONI will, it is said, lee
ready for trial by the end of this month. Cardinal
FALCONIERI, Archbishop of Ravenna, has issued a
manifesto inviting the faithful to a triduo (a reli-
gioui service, lasting three days) which is to commence
on the 23d, in order to pray for Divine protection in
favour of Monsignor FRANZONI.
The town of Brescia has sent an address of thanks
to the Piedmontese papers, thanking the inhabitants
of the sister kingdom for their generous assistance on
the occasion of the late destructive inundation.

A letter from Bologna of the 16th announces that,
in consequence of an order from Rome, the Lom.
bardo-Venetian journals, and the Corriere Italiano
of Vienna, are no longer permitted to enter the Papal
territory.

TUB GREAT CENTRAL GAS COMPANY.—The ap-
plication of the Chartered Gas Company to the Lord Chan-
cellor for an injunction to restrain the Great Central Gas
Consumers' Company from laying their mains and pipes in
contact with the plaintiffs' came on yesterday, at his Lord-
ship's private residence, tiaton-square. Mr. Walpole, on be-
half of the oefendants, asked for an extension of time, to
enable h m to put in answers to all the affidavit?, some of
which, he stated, had only been tiled that morning. The
Attorney-General, who appeared for the plaintiff?, offered no
objection, and the matter therefore stands over till the 10th
of October, the defendants undertaking in the meantime not
to lay any pipes or mains in contact with those of the plain-
tiff nor to execute any other works to their damage. The At-
torney-General then asked his Lordship that the motion
should bo heard upon the same footing as it would have
been had the arguments been gone into on the fire occasion,
and notwith4tliinding
any works which might be executed
by the defendants in the interim. This having been agreed
to, the parties retired.

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

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool was less active, and
the advance of Monday was not sustained. Sales 4,000
bales, of which 500 American were taken on specula-
tion, and 500 Surat for export. The sales comprised
3,000 American, 250 Penmen and Maranham at BJ. to
8;13., 100 Egyptian et FA 1, to 9J,, and 350 Surat at sd.
to 61d. per 15.—1 n Railway Shares a good business was
done, at rather higher prices.
The supplies of foreign grain in Mark-lane to-day in-
clude $,910 quarters of wheat, and only 1,240 of English.
The large number of vessels that have arrived in the
Thames during the last two or three days have added
immensely to our supplies of produce of all descriptions,
and business in consequence is most active in certain de-
partments, though it remains to be seen whether the
prices of some articles may not suffer.
According ti a report made to the Legislature of
Texas, in January, 1848, the public debt of the state at
that time was as annexed:—

The foreign debt stood thus:—

2,144,054 90

Total debt ... 11,050,201 51
The laws of Texas authorised three loans. The first
loan of the 18th November, 1836, of 5,000,000 dulls.,
on a pledge of the public faith, and the proceeds of the
public lands. The second by Act of the 16th May,
1838, for 5,000,000 dolls., at ten per cent, on a pledge of
the public faith. The third by an Act of the 22d
January, 1839, of 1,000,000 dolls., at eight per cent., on
a pledge of the customs and duties on imports for the
payment of the principal and interest. In June, 1837,
Texas passed an Act to consolidate the debt, and then
found irs amount 3,000,000 dolls. This Act pledge the
revenue, from imports and direct taxation, for the prompt
payment of the interest.
The last two items in the above table of indebtedness,
amounting to 1,404,054 dolls. 90c. were created in this
way—lioltord and Dawson sold to Texas a steamer and
other vessels for 370,014 dolls. 89c., to be paid in a cer-
tain time, but to be doubled if Texas failed to pay at
that time. She did fail, and the contractors received,
instead of the first evidence of the debt, 10 per cent.
bonds for 1,404,054 dolls. 90e., as above.

The English Stock market has been exceedingly
quiet, but remains firm. Consols have been 96i 6 for
Transfer, and 96f 4 for Account. The value of Bank
Stock has been 213. Exchequer-bills have been quoted
66i. premium.

In Foreign Securities there has likewise been very
limited transactions. Mexican Bonds have been 304 to
31, being steady; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half pir Cents.

The market for Railway Shares is both active and to-
lerably buoyant. Caledonian have not, any more than
some of the other lines, realised the highest values of
yesterday, but Great Northern, Lancaster and Carlisle,
Great Southern and Western of Ireland, Midland,
North British, South Wales, and York and North Mid-
land have been a shade dearer. North-Western, Great
Western, and South-Eastern have been in favour. The
foreign lines droop a little.
