^ Joint Btooic Banks. Joint Stock Banks....
NoVEii Method of Connecting and Filing Papers , ^ c Mr . A . F . Walden , a gentleman well known among the principal Assurance Societies for his inquiries into doubtful , and his successful detection of , fraudulent claims , has just brought out a small and very neat machine , by means of which and metal eyelids ( similar to those used for making the brass holes in stays and boots ) every description of papers and documents , & c , cam be neatly and firmly connected in a qnick and easy manner . This machine will prove a great acquisition to the office and the counting-house , and from it ' manifest uses , as well as it ' s cheapness , will ere long get into general requisitiou . We particularly recommend it to managers of Assurance Societies and lawyers , but most especially to public offiees , as its use not only effectually collects and fixes the papers , but it will do away with an article lateh' fallen into such universal contempt , red-tape .
Protection in Austria . — A Vienna letter says : — *' The Minister of Finance has replied to the petitions of the manufacturers , who begged for an increase of the protective duties , by rejecting their application . It is stated that a deputation of those persons is shortly to have an interview with the Archduke Kegnier , President of the Council of the Empire , to beg him to support their petition , which is now under t he consideration of that council . " _ . _ . .
Fbench Gold Mines . — Letters from St . Louis in Senegal , of the 19 th ult ., give an account of a visit made by the governor to the gold mines at Bambouk , two hundred and fifty leagues distant . The governor concluded a treaty with a native chief , who possesses a sort of suzerainty over the gold mine district , by which treaty the chief concedes to the French , to the exclusion of any other European nation , the right of working the mines in conjunction with the natives , and that of cultivating land and building houses .
The Tehuantepec Route . — This route from the Atlantic to the Pacific is expected to be opened , the latter end of this month . The first steamer is to start on the 27 th inst . from New Orleans . This route is through Mexico , and is the most northern of all the passages across the American isthmus . The stage load of the Tehuantepec passage is eighty miles , the rest of the distance across the isthmus will be performed in river steamers . This route will but off 1400 miles in going from New- York to San Francisco or British Columbia instead of by the Kicaraguan lakes . The Bank of Austria . —The National Bank of Austria is , from the 1 st of November , to discount bills , and make payments on account of public loans with new bank-notes . The old notes are to be taken by the National Bank at 105 .
The Stade Dues . —From Hanover we learn that the English Government haying insisted on the immediate abolition of the Stade Dues , the Privy Councillor , Mr . Lang , will leave for London furnished with full powers to come to a settlement . The Suez Canal . —M . Lessepa has made a communication to the Marseilles papers , stating that the execution of the canal , with fresh water , would require one year ; and would have the advantage of fertilising the ground which has been granted to the company . If established as a maritime canal , it would take six years to complete it . He estimates its revenue at 30 , 000 , 000 francs .
Trade in France . —The Presse says , in its weekly commercial review : —Little change has taken place in commercial affairs in Paris since last week . The retail shops have terminated the purchases which they had been compelled to make at the approach of winter . They have not , however , more than half filled up their assortments , most of them preferring to wait to seo liow the soason may open . Extreme reserve is the characteristic of all operations at this moment . Little credit is given , and business for ready money cannot naturally bo very extensive . The export trade , both in Paris and the provinces , lias also slackened . Cottons at Hayro , as well as at Liverpool , have shown a downward tendency during the past week » because large consignments are expected from the United States . At Rouen , during the past week , there has been but little business dono ,
few purchasers being in the market ; and even if tliey had been more numerous , they would have found it difficult to be fully supplied from the present general low state of the stocks . Manufacturers have been father holding back in their productions from an expectation of a fall in the raw material . At Lyons , Roubaix , and Mulhauson there has been the same slackness apparent as in Paris . Some considerable imports of English and Belgian' irons have taken place since the beginning of the month , persona standing in need of thoso articles having bought by way of precaution in case the decree of October 17 th , 1855 , permitting the free import of iron intended either for ship-building or for re-exportation , should not bo renewed . The corn markets arc dull without any further fall in prices . The abundanco of tho vintage has not yet oxoroiBed any perceptible influence upon tiio price of wines .
Foukign Oattmb . — -From Rotterdam , Antwerp , Kampon , and Zwolle the following cattle , pigs , and ehoep have bean imported into Hull during the past week i — 114 oxen , 114 < sowa , 100 calves , 147 pigs , and 17 suoep . In the provlous week the imports wore : —7 oxen , © 0 cowsi 42 calves , 83 pigs , and 20 lambs .
German Currency . — -The relation between the three great monetary systems of Germany now stands thus : that four Prussian dollars are equal to six Austrian and to seven South German florins . Hamburg , Bremen , Mecklenburg , and Holstein have hitherto not entered into the monetary convention , but the Prussian dollar , which is just equal to three shillings English , is becoming more and more the prevailing currency in those parts . The coin which is common to all the three great divisions is a piece equal in value to six English shillings , and representing in Prussia the value of two dollars , in Austria of two florins , and in the South German States of three florins and a half .
Thk Shipping Interest . —A very decided improvement in the rates of freights outwards is indicated by the terms which the Indian Council have accepted two vessels for the conveyance of troops to Calcutta . The prices -were respectively 40 s . and 42 s ., and the highest tender was as much as 48 s . 4 d . These engagements confirm the anticipations expressed in the Litest circulars from the most eminent shipbrokers , that a period of improvement was at hand . " Wool , from the Sandwich Islands . —Direct
commerce has at last been opened between these islands and Liverpool . By advices received , it appears that the brig Antilla , after loading a full cargo of cocoa-nut and whale oil , bides , and wool , had sailed for Liverpool direct . There is 2000 'barrels of oil , a large quantity of hides , and 35 , 000 pounds of Hawaiian wool on board the Antilla , which is the first vessel that has ever loaded wool , or any other produce , at the Sandwich Islands direct for England . This , we hope , is the inauguration of a commerce between England and those islands .
Cider . —The apple-pounding is now going on briskly , and the yield of cider is more abundant than had been anticipated . Several cargoes of apples from the Channel'Islands are also expected . The price of cider will not exceed 11 . per hogshead .- —Plymouth Journal . The Leviathan . —On Tuesday it was finally agreed , with the consent of four-fifths of the shareholders of the Great Eastern Steamship Company , there being only three dissentients , that the original company should be dissolved and a new company formed , it being also agreed that the cost of "building and launching the Leviathan ( 640 , 000 ? . ) should in the new company be reduced one-half . - - , . ¦ ¦
The Whale Fishery . —The fine screw steamer Chase , of -which Messrs ^ Brown , Atkinson , and Co . are agents , arrived at Hull from Davis' Straits on Tuesday . She left the fishery on the 20 th September , and has brought 9 whales and 150 seals , 130 toils oil , and 7 $ tons bone , and reports as follows : —Tay ( steamer ) , of Dundee , 130 tons ; Truelove , of Hull , 4 or 5 whales ; Anne , clean ; Emma , clean ; . / Eolus , 1 whale , 21 tons ( this vessel has also arrived at Hull ); Arctic , clean ; St . Andrew , clean ; Chieftain , clean ; Pacific , 2 whales , 25 tons ; Advice , 2 whales ; Alexander , 3 whales ; Jumna , 3 whales ; Lord Gambier , 2 whales ; Abram , 5 whales ; Jane , 1 whale ; Innuit ( steamer ) , of Peterhead , clean ; Polar Star , clean . —Eastern Counties Herald .
Crowded State of the Liverpool Timber Docks . —The Brunswick Dock , at the south end of the Liverpool range , and the dock which is at present chiefly devoted to the accommodation of the timber trade , is at present so crowded by vessels laid up and idle , that vessels actually laden with cargoes cannot find room to enter . This state of affairs ha 3 been brought before the attention of the Dock Board , but after some discussion the chairman said that no permanent relief could bo afforded until the persons , interested would consent to have tho Brunswick Dock run dry , in order that the water connexion with other docks might bo made . Tho dock surveyor said that the running of tho dock dry would soon be a matter of necessity , ns eleven years had elapsed since it was dry , and the gates wore in a . very bad condition .
Intercolonial Mails . — Twenty-four thousand pounds a year is to bo paid to tho Mail Steam Pocket Company for conveying the mails botween Sydney and Now Zealand , and after four years that sum is to bo reduced to 22 , 000 J . Tho company is to employ in tho mail service four steamers—viz . one of 800 tons burden and 140-horso power , two of 500 tons burden and 80-horse powor each , and one of 850 tons burden nml 70-horso power ,
