was at 211 to 262. The Swift, packet, and the COo2o'
(lore had arrived from Liverpool. The following is be
most important news which she brings, for which we lib
indebted to a copy of the Rio Mercantile Journal, W
which we have been kindly furnished :
" Rio de Janeiro, Sept. 26. k
" Business has been extremely dull during the Nce
the attention of all classes of the commercial comet
unit;
having been directed to a consideration of the conse:
quences likely to result from a conference, held on tn:
23d instant, between the Minister of Finance and son'
of the principal merchants and capitalists.
" The object of the meeting was declared by his gl;
th
cellency to be, to ascertain if any pressure existed ill
money market, and if it did exist, the cause of such Fires'
sure and the best means to remedy it. p 1
" In the course of the discussion, it was made aPPar.„ae
that the principal cause of the tightness whicheexited,isted,
was the large amount of the floating debt, and the cool,:
quent wants of the Treasury to meet its engagements 10'1
the Bank. Some of the gentlemen present recommendr;
an issue of paper, but this was, generally, reprobate to
and his Excellency likewise expressed himself opPese,bat
any such issue, but gave the meeting to understand % ;
he considered himself authorised to emit 1,600,000 d°'
ed
and that if, from circumstances, he should be com Peteete
to issue more than that amount, he should not hes°
but would ask from the Chambers a bill of indemnity* ss
" His Excellency concluded by stating his willingoee,
to accept any reasonable offers for stock, which be Prot
ferred to an issue of paper, provided such offers were 13
extreme)), prejudicial to the national interests.
" The meeting may be said to have produced no ail;
lute result, but some proposals will be probably madefoir I
his Excellency, and we trust that these may be of a v
and equitable nature, and that his Excellency may be „
duced to accede to them; for we have the innate con/In6
tion, that to supply the wants of the Treasury by an igthe
of paper would be another, perhaps a fatal, blow to
honour and integrity of the country."

My initials are feigned (for the sanctity of private corres-
pondence is no more respected by our rulers, civil and spi-
ritual, than the consciences of individuals), and should
you refuse this anonymous letter a place in your valuable
columns, you will perhaps have the kindness to keep it
(as a proof of its date), until a few months hence, when I
will convince you, with documents in hand, fur the en-
lightenment of the public, that the severance of M. Rouge
in Germany is but a foreshadow of what will inevitably
occur in Italy on a larger scale on the first occasion ; for
the mass of the population is now irresistibly travelling to
two equally extreme points, viz.,—fanaticism and infi-
delity,— driven thereto by the excessive corruption of the
church, now no longer Catholic, but Roman, from which
calamitous condition we hope to behold it ere long raised-
by skilful an I cur..tive hand,."
NORTH WALES MINERAL RAILWAY—MORE AMAL
GAMATIONS. The shareholders in the North Wales
Mineral Railway held a special general meeting, at the
offices in Chester, yesterday, (Monday,)''tor the purpose
of considering a proposition to amalgamate with the

take the necessary measures in relation thereto. A con-
siderable body of proprietors attended, and Mr. William
Wardell, banker, chairman of the company, presided.
