SECOND EDITION

the fortresses of Ulm and Rustadt. Prince METTER..
ram had passed through Frankfort on the previous day
on his way to Hamburgh.

Accounts have been received from Switzerland to the
7th. On that day the Diet, sitting at Zurich, was en-
gaged in the discussion of the restoration of the secu-
larised convents of Argau. Only seven cantons voted for
their restoration.

The State Gazette of Lucerne publishes the official
report of the circumstances connected with M. LEU'S
death. It appears from it that the deceased bad been
several times threatened in anonymous letters with
death ; that for the last four years he kept no fire-arms
in the house ; that on the night of the murder the door
of the house had been open, and that close to the house
the footsteps of two persons running away had been
discovered. In addition to the presumption of murder
arising from the abovl circumstances, the medical report
proves that suicide was absolutely impossible.

Madrid papers to the sth have arrived. The Gazette
publishes a royal decree apportioning the land-tax of
300,000,000 rials among the forty-nine provinces of the
kingdom, a, d declaring that the first half-year must be
paid immediately. This measure continues to excite
great dissatisfaction throughout the kingdom.
General ALCALA and Brigadier MONTERO had been
ordered to quit Madrid in twenty-four hours. Every-
thing was quiet on the Bth at Barcelona, and throughout
Catalonia. The QUEEN is to leave St. Sebastian on
the 16th for the baths of Santa Aguada. The Infanta
Luisa, however, will remain at St. Sebastian, for the
purpose of sea bathing. The QUEEN is expected at
Pampeluna on the 26th. The Royal Family is not ex•
pected to return to Madrid until the end of September.
MADRID BOURSE, AUG. s.—Spanish Securities have
risen considerably to-day, although the amount of busi-
ness transacted was not large. The improved condition
of the market arises from the report that Senor MON
had overcome the difficulties attendant on the regulation
of the debt, and that his financial plan was on the eve
of being published. In the Three per Cents., in which
21,320,000 reals were negotiated at 304 for cash,
higher ; and at 314 at 60 days, higher. One bargain
was effected in the Five per Cents. for 2,000,000 rials
at 224 for 60 days.
Exchanges on London at 90 days, 374 to 8.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Debats contains a long letter from Zurich on the
affairs of Switzerland. It appears from the statements
in this letter, that a National Guard is organising
throughout Switzerland among the Radical party, the
object of which is to expel the Jesuits ; and according
to some reports to destroy the federation, and form
Switzerland into one individual republic. A German
refugee, named SNELL, is the chief of the association,
which has established its head-quarters at Berne. It is
imagined that they will effect a revolution in Berne,
similar to the one recently effected in Vaud, and that
then they will declare war against Lucerne. The popu-
lation in the small mountain cantons are arming, to de-
fend the Jesuits, so that a collision seems inevitable.
It is believed the struggle will take place in September.

The Constdationnel states that the interview between
the Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS (who are still at
Bordeaux) and the Queen of SPAIN will take place at
Pampeluna, towards the end of the month. The Duke
D'AUMALE left Bordeaux on Friday for Belfort.
The French Three per Cents. were at 841. 35c, and the
Five pee Cents. at 1221. The market closed as follows :
Three per Cents., for cash, 84f. 15c.; for account, 841. 35c.

THE WEATHER.—We hope that we may now look
forward to a continuation of fine harvest weather.
The change which took place this morning is most
favourable. The clouds have dispersed, and at two
o'clock the sun burst forth anti has been shining bril-

liantly. The glass has risen to 30.] within the last few
hours, and there is therefore every probability of the
weather continuing settled at " fair."

PIRATES IN THE WEST INDIES.
We have just seen a gentleman who came as a passenger
on board the St. Vincent, from Trinidad to Bristol, which
vessel, as was stated in The Sun of yesterday, was boarded on
her homeward voyage by a schooner supposed to be piratical.
He says, that during the whole of the previous day the St.
Vincent had been followed by a suspicious-looking brig.
When morning came the schooner was discovered in com-
pany with the brig. They parted, and the schooner bore
down on the St. Vincent. There were only two men on the
deck of the schooner, one at the wheel and another with a
telescope, but below she was crowded with men. She
hoisted Spanish colours, as did the brig, which also bore
down on the St. Vincent. The brig having spoken an
American man-of-war which was in sight, the schooner left
the St. Vincent, joined the brig, and they sailed off in com-
pany, the brig leading the way. The schooner was a low
Baltimore clipper, and had a piece of ordnance on her deck.
She gave the latitude and longitude, chalked on a board, but
she was at least 20 degrees out in her reckoning, so that, in
all probability, she had no chronometer on board.

SUNDERLAND ELECTION.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

SUNDERLAND, AUGUST 11.—It is not easy to see
where the numbers are to come from which can beat
the Liberals here. The numbers polled at Lord Howick's
election, which were the greatest ever known, were 706
for Lord Howick, 462 for his Tory competitor ; total
polled, 1,168, majority for Lord Howick, 244. An enor-
mous margin this on which to draw. Besides this, there
are now 148 fewer names on the register than then,
against which must be bet off about half that number of
removals, which were prevented from voting at
Lord Howick's election by the then state of the
law. So that on the whole, 1,100 may be stated as very
near the probable number to poll ; and the public voice
confirms the expectation. It is not likely that the ex-
citement should be greater than. at Lord Howick's
election, or that this should be the occasion on which
the numbers polled should be greater than on any of
the precious elections which have occurred ;
if betting men had it in hand, nobody
would bet upon it. But the Liberals have promises
enough to carry the election, under such circumstances,
by an overpowering majority ; and Sunderland Liberal
promises are not bad, as was proved by Lord Howick
having had more votes than promises. Under these facts,
nothing but experiment can prove that the Liberals can
fail. Messrs. Cobden and John Bright arrived at four
POI. on Monday.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)—It was
generally understood, from the announcements that have taken
place, that the Lord Chancellor would have sat in his private
room at Westminster to-day, for the 'purpose of giving judg-
ment in several cases that have been heard before him; how-
ever, up to the hour of our going to press no sitting had taken
place; and it is now supposed that bis Lordship will sit to-
morrow, not only to give judgments, but to dispose of any
matters that may press. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of
England, who is the vacation judge to the end of the present
month, will sit in his court in Lincoln's Inn on Friday.
STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT. (From a Correspondent.)
—We regret exceedingly to state that a most serious accident,
attended with fatal results, occurred on the Thames last even-
ing. From all we could learn in a hasty gathering of facts,
it appears that the celebrated fast steamer " Father Thames,"
on her voyage from Gravesend, made the pool about ten o'clock,
with a great number of passengers, where, from some unavoid-
able cause, she came full on to a heavy barge, and with such
force as to. instantly carry away her paddle-box and side cabin,
in which were several persons. It may be readily imagined
that consternation and confusion arose immediately, the vessel
being thrown on one side, and several persons in the water,
Five persons, we are told, were rescued from a watery grave.
but whether any, or several, are lost, we have yet to learn.
From the disabled state of the vessel, the passengers had to be
landed at Wapping from small boats.

A DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.--The Ulster Railway
Company have fitted up their third-class carriages with com-
fortable seats, and divided them into compartments. As a na-
tural consequence, the number of passengers travelling by those

adopted from the first, as was the case

among the most comfortable to be met with anywhere.—

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000
bales, without any change in prices, including 600 Egyptian
at 6%d. to 6%d. ; 140 Sea Island at 11%cl. to Is. 3d. ; and
the rest American at 31/0. to sd. per pound. There was
not much doing in Shares. The market was quiet, but
steady.
A great deal of satisfaction has been expressed in commer-
cial circles to- day at the promulgation of an order in council,
that sugars the produce of Siam are to be admitted here at
the reduced duty of 28s. and 235. 4d. respectively, as not
being the produce of slave labour. As a matter of course, re-
fined qualities are excluded from this benefit. It
is a curious fact that the produce of China, of
Java, and Manilla is admitted upon the low
terms, when thy take so little of our manufac-
tures, while Brazil is a most excellent customer. It is, how-
ever, extremely probable that ere long we Alan have sugars
exported from Rio de Janeiro, where they have not been
produced by slave labour. Some little interest is attached to
the result of the sale of 124 bags of Siam sugar, which is an •
nounced for this day. It is expected that advanced prices
will be realised.
There are no late arrivals in the City announced to-day
from the British colonies.

A merchant in the City, Mr. J. H. Elliot, has furnished
us, in common with other of our Contemporaries, with a pub-
lication of his entitled, " Credit, the Life of Commerce,"
being a defence of the British merchant against the unjust and
demoralising tendency of the recent alteration, and an out-
line of the laws of debtor and creditor, and remedial mea-
sures. We may take an early opportunity of quoting from
this interesting pamphlet.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The supply of English Wheat, which principally consisted
of that left over from Monday's market, being extensive for
the time cf year, and the attendance of millers compara-
tively small, the demand for that description of grain was in
a very sluggish state; still, however, the factors were again
tolerably firm in their holdings, arising principally from the
prevailing damp weather, and the slow progress making in
the harvest fields. The finest parcels of both Red-and
White sold at prices quite equal • to those paid
on Monday ; but in other kinds exceedingly little
was doing, and a clearance was not effected. The
show of free Foreign Wheat was not to say large,
yet very little business was doing in it, at unaltered
currencies. Corn under lock commanded very little atten-
tion, and prices in many instances ruled almost nominal.
The supply of Barley was extremely small. Grinding par-
cels moved off steadily at full prices. Malting and Distilling
qualities were heavy. The best White Malt found bvers at
extreme rates. The secondary kinds were a mere drug.
Owing to the moderate nature of the Oat arrivals the sale
ruled firm, and prices were well supported. Beans, Peas,
and Flour as last quoted.

wich came off yesterday, and notwithstanding the dull, cheer-
less, unfavourable state of the weather, so ill-suited for an exhi-
bition of this kind, was attended by a vast number of persons,
both on the shore and on the river. The race was with six
scullers, in five heats, for a new boat, and some very liberal
money prizes, and extended the whole river front of the town,
the distance being repeated in each heat.
First heat--E. Round (green), 1 ; Henry Davis (red), 2;
E. Bryant (dark blue), 3.
Second heat—John Bryant (pink), 1 ; Thomas Spencer
(yellow), 2; Wm. Lane (light blue), 3.
Third heat—Davis, 1 ; E. Bryant, 2.
Fourth heat—E. Round, 1; E. Bryant, 2.
Fifth or Grand Heat—Round, 1 ; Bryant, 2.
The men went away very well together, and at a firm pace.
The winner shortly drew in advance, kept the lead, and won by
upwards of three lengths.

SMALL DEBTS AcT.—Yesterday the Act for the
better securing the payment of small debts was issued. In
every stage of the measure alterations have been made, and
it was only on receiving the royal assent on Sa' urday that it
was known that further c,.rrections could not be made until
Parliament again assembled. There are twenty-five sections
and four schedules in the Act. Singularly enough, it dates
its operation just twelvemonths from the passing of the Act
which liberated some hundreds of poor persons who were in
custody for sums not exceeding 201., and prevented the incar-
ceration of some hundreds of others for like sums. It will be
well if a reaction does not take place, and creditors proceed to
extremes, under the provisions of the new law. Debtors may
now be induced to " make their peace" with their creditors
without putting the machinery of the new law into operation.
The general effect of the law appears to be, that a creditor who
has obtained a judgment, or any order for payment, from a
competent court, for any sum not exceeding 201., can expe-
ditiously and cheaply summon a debtor to the Court of
Bankruptcy, or Court of Requests, provided the latter is
presided over by a barrister, special pleader, or an •attorney
who has been ten years in practice. The debtor may
be examined as well as the creditor, and, should the debtor
fail to attend, or make a satisfactory answer, or shall
appear to have been guilty of any fraud, either in the removal
of his goods, or the contraction of the debt, he may be sent to
prison for a period not exceeding forty days, which imprison-
ment is not to extinguish the debt, nor is it to be got rid of
by an order from the Court of Bankruptcy or Insolvent
Debtors, but the judge who sent him to prison may order the
discharge on satisfaction being made by the payment of the
debt and costs. One of the last amended amendments States
that the actual necessaries of the debtor shall not be seized in
execution, and allows him goods, tools, &c., to the value of M.
The jurisdictions of the present inferior courts may, by an
Order in Council, be extended to 20/. and all such applica-
tions must be advertised in the Loan Gazette one month
before they are considered. Witnesses nut attending when
summoned may be fined bl., to be enforced in like manner as
payment of any debt recovered by a judgment. There is power
given to execute warrants against the person or goods of a
debtor against whom an order has been obtained, notwith-
standing the removal from the jurisdiction of the court in
which such order was obtained. The Act is only to apply to
England. The forms to be used and the fees to be charged
are set forth in the schedules of the Act. Creditors and
debtors may be their own lawyers in the matter. Provided
the small debts' courts are extended and presided over as
mentioned, very few actions will be brought in the superior
courts for amounts under 201. The Act took effect from Sa-
turday last.

PHICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at „Paris
is 9i per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
Wit'. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25‘3.4-; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 52i, it follows that gold is 0.55 per cent. dearerin London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 43412 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 94; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London is 1091 per cent.; and the
par of exchange between . England and America iicio;2;
109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is o.th pc.
cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New
York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must
he added to the above difference. . .
