EXPRESS FROM PARIS. THE FUNERAL OF BERANOER. molt ova own COIRWITONDIWT.) PARIS, FaIDAT ETININO. Assuming it to have been good policy to prohibit the Parisian public from following Beranger to the grave, it must be admitted that the government was quite right to enforce the prohibition by such a display of military prowess as to make any idea of resistance out of the question. This was most ease holly done. At an early hour immense masses of troops were stationed in the Place do la Bastille, the Place do Chateau d'Eeu, and on the Wales ard Beaumarchais, opposite the Rue Charlot—a street which is crossed a few yards down by the Rue Vendome, in which Beranger lived. All the ap proaches to his house were kept by troops. In the Rae de Is Roquette and the environs of the Pere la ChM* Ci metery a very strong force was drawn up. No less than eight divisions, each commanded by a general of division, were cutcusibly engaged in the service, and many more troops were under arms in Wrack" ready to turn out, if wanted. Marshal Magnin commanded the force in person. Although the Prefect of Police's proclamation pur posely avoided mentioning the day and hour of the funeral, the news spread over Paris with extraordi nary rapidity that it was fixed for this day at noon, and crowds continually increasing in numbers as the hour approached, flocked towards the line along which the procession was expected to pass. The public was allowed to line the way without molestation but not to follow the official mourners. Here and there some collision' occurred between the 'regents de vile and people who pressed too closely in the Dope of getting a good place. I hear of two or three cases of broken heads, bat nothing very serious. Generally speaking nothing could be more orderly or proper than the demeanour of the crowd. Medals were sold in the streets bearing Beranger's effigy, and on the obverse, "A Beranger Is }war 11116.01ait, Ilonne , te eitoyen." Vast numbers of operatives wore little sprigs of yellow immortelles. The house No. 5, Rue Vendome, was hung with black, and the coffin was exposed foe a certain time In the doorway, according to French custom, priests murmuring prayers and epriukling holy water. But a very few intimate friends were admitted to the death chamber. The rest of the persons invited trembled outaidu the house. At a few minutes past 12, the procession was in motion. The hearse, which was elegant, but simple, was profusely covered with elk branches, laurels, and crowns of immortelies. The chief mourners were MM. Perrotin and Benjamin Aides, friends of the deceased, and two of his May, his only relations in Paris, ono of whom is a jinesirean printer, and the other a non-commiseioned AMR in the band of the Ist Regiment of Artillery; Ommel Catte, one of his Majesty's aides-de-camp, re provable' Emperor. Severalministers and foreign u'ns'een were present. MM. Thiers, Mignet, Villemaln, Cousin de Vigny, St. Marc, Oirsr al% Be., formed a deputation from the Institute. SIMI were in all about 200 or 300 followers, o ton set more than two or three were workmen. • kid die° serpents de ;vale closed the proms ebb It was doubted whether, in consequence of Illistoser's known opinions with respect to the alma catholic clergy, his body would be taken to • obareh. Thew doubts were soon set at rest, for ty eoffin was taken to the church of St. Elisabeth. Is the Rue du Temple, when the usual funeral orrice was performed. It appears that the cure of this church, who was on terms of Intimacy with &ranger, came to see him very often during his illness. About three months ago. Beran ger, in the pressures of moves or sight persons, said to this priest, " M. le Cure, I am very glad to see you. I require your services. I ask for your blessing You and I have followed very different roads." The tare interrupting, said, " There is one road in which we can now both walk together—the mercy of Ood, who measures the merits of men by their good works and their repentance. I will not give you ay blessing merely I I will give you absolution." Tin care visited him several times after this, lei It is affirmed that he died a Catho lic. On leaving the church, the cortege did not Mow the hos expected along the boulevards to the WM% bet simply emend the boulevard opposite Bas das Mee du Colrain, and took the Rue AMIIIIIIM6Int. Cries of " lionneur i Wronger," • Beringer " were frequently uttered by the gaille. No one but those invited was allowed to Wife the cemetery. According to the express wish of the deceased no speech was pronounced over the 'rare. Although the funeral was over by two o'clock, the troops were still bivouacked in the Place de la Bas tille and the Chateau d'F.au as late as four o'clock, as it the authorities were determined not to abandon the ground until the crowds had entirely dispersed. In consequence of the death of Beringer, the lagers did not attend the performance, " by order," tat the Porte St. Martin last night. Count Bamiochi, who was in waiting for her Majesty at the theatre, received, just as the curtain rose, the Mr rag telegraphic despatch from St. Cloud: WNW/ beteg dead the Empress will not go to the ibleelble meatus. She desires that her to: easy remain Illeergal. (Signed) TASCHIR rat Lk PAOLILIZ. The Moniteur of to-day contains the following notice, dated the 16th inst.: "France has just experienced a mournfullossee sent. Beringer this day sunk beneath a pronsend and cruel disease. The Emperor, willing to honour She memory of this national poet, whose works have andributed so powerfully to maintain the prevalence et patriotic sentiments in France, and to popularise the glory of the Empire, has determined that the cost of his funeral shall be defrayed out of the Im perial Civil List. The obsequies of Beringer will bake place at noon to-morrow (Friday, July 17)."

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 18, 1857. MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY. Two o'CLocw. The funds show a further improvement of to I per cent. to-day, and the tone of the market is strong. The remarks of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer bast night have produced a favourable im pression: Consols, after standing at 9lj to 92, have further improved to 92, "buyers; for the 6th of August. Tho Three per Cents. Reduced are marked 91; to 92 ; the New Three per Cents., 911 to 92i; India Stock, 214 to 2171 ; Bank Stock, 214 to 2151; India Bonds, 13s. dis. ; and Exchequer Hills, 4s. to I. dis. Turkish Six per Cents. are again firmer, being marked 953 and 953, and other descriptions are well supported. The sales include Brazilian Old Five per Cents. atlol to 1; Banish Five per Cents., 1011; l)utch Two•and-a-Half per Cents., 61 ex div. ; Mexican, far account, 221; Peruvian Four•and-a-Halt per Cents., for account, 801 to 811 ; Russian Five per Cents. 1091; Spanish Old Three per Cents., for account, 40i ; ditto Deferred, - 251; ditto Passive Bonds, 5: ; the Coupon Certifs., 51 per cent. ; and Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cents. for account, 102 t. - - - - The commercial demand for money was yesterday active. In some quarters trunsaetions took place below the Bank minimum, but generally 5} per cent. was the lowest rate, and the applications at the Bank are understood to have been rather numerous. Doubtless many persons delayed ap plying during tho last few days, in anticipation of the reduction just announced.• In tho Stock ha change money was easy, at 5 to 5 per cent. on government securities. At Hamburg on Thursday the rate of discount ad vanced again to 6} per cent. The impression has become stronger that there is no chance of the proposed Turkish loan being en tertained. Pr0b....61y the project will be allowed to drop. . _ Parcels of Australian gold to the amount of 03,0001. were yesterday sent into the Bank, making a total of between 370,000!. and 400,000!. this week. The amount of specie brought by the Orinoco, from the West Indies and Pacific, is about 181,5001., of which only about 11,0001. appears to be in silver. We believe the total remittances of specie and bul lion to the East, by the Indus, on the 20th instant, will reach only about 550,000/., showing a consider able reduction, compared a ith recent shipments. On the 4th inst., the total was 859,220!., and on the 20th ult., 1,142,6161., being the largest ever known. It is computed that the shipments of silver by the packet of the 4th August will considerably exceed those by the present steamer, about 200,0001. having already been sold. This amount has yet to be im ported from the Continent or elsewhere. We un derstand that the real reason of the comparative smallness of the shipments by the Indus rests with the fall in the price of silver in London which fol lowed the recent reduction of the East India Com pany's rate of exchange. The price quoted for silver here was too low to attract any large supplies from the Continent. The silver market is now, however, decidedly firmer, and the collection of silver on the Continent will probably be proportionately stimu lated. The arrival is reported of the steamer Baron Osy, from Antwerp, with 70 cases and 3 bags of silver on freight, estimated to be worth nearly 60,00(11. The foreign exchanger yesterday afternoon were generally rather lees favourable, owing probably to the reduction in the value of money here. Bills on Belgium, France, Hamburg, and some Italian places were quoted lower. The decline was chiefly re markable as regards Belgium, where large amounts of silver are in course of collection for this market. The rate on St. Petersham was also somewhat re duced. As regards Frankfort and Leghorn firm nets prevailed; and the quotations for bills on Ilol land were steady. The current terms arc shown below, viz.: Amsterdam , three months, 12 to 12.01; ditto, short, 11.17 to 18' , Itotterdam, there months, 12 to 12.01; Ant werp and Brooch, three month., 25.40 to 6; Hamburg, throe months, 13.01 to ; Perla, three months, 25.60 to 5; ditto, short, 25.22 1 to 7 i ,• Marseillea, three months, 25.64 to 71; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, three months, 119 j to ; Petersburg, three months, 361 to t ; Vienne, three months, 10.30 to 1; Them* three months, 10.30 to 2; Naples!, three months, 42 to ; Genoa, three months ; 25.75 to 80 ; laghash, three months, 29.871 to 94, ; Pelermo, throe months, 126 to ; Altssioa, throe months, 1241 to 129 Oporto, these months, 121 to I ; Lisbon, threr months, 64 ; to I. The corn market yesterday was decidedly heavy, and to effect sake of wheat of any magnitude a decline of 2s. to 4s. per quarter from the reduced quotations of last Monday would have been necessary. All the country markets show heaviness. In France the prices of gain are still falling. Only one floating cargo of grain has arrived off the coast since last Monday, and the fall in our market is not calculated to encourage consignments hither. The Pelican has arrived from Shanghae with 275,7001b5. of tea on freight. The Acmel has also arrived from the same port. Tatters from St. Petersburg, dated the 10th July, report a considerable fall in tallow, which wax quoted 175 ro. for August delivery. The exchange on London ruled at 374, to 38d., which will barely allow of the exportation of gold to this side. In the evert, however, of the rate declining below this quotation, some moderate amounts may be looked tor. The exchange on Amsterdam was quoted 186! tot ; on Hamburg, 33 9-16 to 1146 ; and on Paris, 39 to 400. . Great Northern Railway stock has shown great firmness during the last few days, owing to the anti cipation that the (amplify must now commence their purchases to extin g utsh the stock fraudulently over-issued by ltedpatb. As the ordinary and A stocks aro still at a discount—though in the former case at a very trifling one—it is presumed that there can be no legitimate motive for delay. The announcement by the Ilnghton Railway Company of a dividend of 21 per cent. for the half-year scarcely affected the prase of the stock yesterday. The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 30th inst. for the hire of two or three screw steamers, to convey about 1,500 men from England to Hong Kong. - - - s The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 11th of August for the supply and delivery on the western coast of Africa of 7,300 tons of coals. The report of yesterday's indigo sale is subjoined : Daring the isle to-day large quantities sere again with drawn, and One goods are raher wore difficult to buy, and fully maintain the high advance catahliiihod. Other qualities remain without alteration. Several panel. of Mo dem have oleo been withdrawn, thins being little disposition ' to pay current rates, and importer. were not willing to sell at any reduction. B catalogue will commence on Monday. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Saturday, July 11, compared with the pre vious return, shows the following results: Circulation issue Circulation active Pübliedepesits Other kiosks Owerionnserit securities in Itaiingdsperontent Otsesedilsa in banking dagsrlenset 16,455,171 Decrease 2,860,030 Cobs Ind Wilke in both deparlasints bass day and other Lille 710,688 Increase 62,073 Ths Rest Notes la rearm ...... 6,461,180 Decrease 421,665 This return affords unmistakeable symptoms of an easier money market. Thepaymentof the dividends commenced on the Weducsiky in the week to which the return refers, and led to a decrease of fully four millions and three quarters in the Treasury balances, yet, owing to the heavy repayments to the Bank (as shown in the decrease of 2,1410,030 f. of " other securities 1, and to the addition made to the " other deposits," the decrease in the reserve of unemployed notes is only 421,6651. The facility with which se, large a mass of advances were repaid to the Brak forms a most favourable feature. The Bank's par • chases of gold during the week were more than sufficient to corer the withdrawals of coin effected by the dividend reoeirere. This return affords ample explanation of the reduction of the rate of discount. UNITED STATES. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Baw. Mr. Commiasioner Fuse.) IN KZ 0. I. HI. 311q1 The bankrupt was described no of Crown-court, Old Broad sheet, underwriter, and to-day came up for hie certificate. The bankrupt wee not represented. Mr. Hughes (from the office of Menses. Linklater and ilackwood) rid ho appeared on behalf of the assignees, who did not oppose the leunpt having a certificate, but thought it ought to be of a low class. Hu Honour, after referring to the amounts, said they op- poised very unsatisfactory. Mr. Hughes said they were very uniatiafactory indeed, for there had only been a dividend of 2e. in the pound. The •armor had had to bring an action against the bankrupt's toother, and after long proeeedmg a compromise had been effected, and the money received from tier formed the funds fur the dividend. His Honour—Then, in feet, if the bankrupt had come before the court without that, there would have hem a fair dividend. Mr. Hughes—Yea, your Honour. His Honour—l cannot go beyond a common-class certifi cate in inch a case. IN RI LIDLETTNR.

Napoleon Bartlett, described ea a labourer, wee charged with bring coneerned with another man, not in custody, in ideating from Michael Keep a tin hex, containing 141. in gold, &certificate of die/charge, and a Baltic medal. The prosecutor, a weatherbeaten tar, deposed that on the preview day he had been paid off from 1C M.B.

He, however, bad plenty to drink on the way, and when he got to London-bridge was quite drunk, but remembered meeting two men and being in a public•houae with 151. in his pocket, and then hn recollected nothing more until be found himself neat morning at the police-station with all his money gone, as well as his shoes and his jacket, and nothing left him but his troueers and shirt. A polimman deposed that upoll seeing a great crowd col lected in Thames-street, he went there, and found the pri soner dead drunk, with nothing on but his shirt and women. Upon getting sober, he stated that he had been robbed of ISt. and hie medal; and wither, from information ho received, went after the prisoner, sad apprehended him. He, however, denied all knowledge of the robbery, but the medal wee found upon him, which be said ho had picked up in Little Swan-lane. There was no direct evidence to prove that the prisoner had actually been with the presectitor, and se the letter we. too drunk to recollect anythidg positively, the Lord Mayor discharged the Kimono, sad gave 10e. to the sailor, as he said he had been robbed of the antis, wages of a 13 months' cruise.

Witnees asked him whore ho lived and he gave the dress of 8, York road; but upon ta king ad the prisoner there, witness found it incorrect, and thereupon took the primmer into custody. At the elation he gave another a4drese, at 19, King's Bench-walk, and wane.* found the prisoner'. mother living there, but also said she had not seen anything of him during the last nine menthe. Witness then returned to the staticei ' and the charge was entered foe the unlawful pearieesion of the clock; but upon 'marching the prisoner, he found a great quantity of memoranda, letters, end cheques, two pocket-books, two mate, eleven office and street-door keys, and a silk handkerchief.

The bills stolen amounted to about 1,0001. It farther appeared that Mr. Wood left his office for a short time, and affixed a notice to the door, " Back in half an hour," but he elan placed the key over the door, within view, so that ne difficulty was experienced in ob taining an entry. When Mr. Wood returned, he found the atlas bad been ransacked. The prisoner was remanded for the attendance of Mr. Wood. 1101111ERY OP LEAD AT TIIN ORIAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

The Persia sailed "north about," and made Voel Nant at two p.m., but was detained for some time at the bar of the Mersey awaiting the flood tide. She brought 224 passengers, and 61,835 dole. in specie. The United States mail steam-ship Ericsson, Captain Lowlier, also arrived this afternoon from New York, with dates to the 4th inst., 27 passengers, and 30,000 dole. in specie.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says that Lord Napier has communicated to Secretary . Can a disavowal of the cession to Eng land of the island in Panama Bev. lie also denies the allegation that the ChinCha Islands are conveyed to British subjects, or have been placed under British and French protection. Lord' Napier disclaims generally the policy of territorial acquisition in or near the American continent, but admits that her Britannic Majesty's government will oppose the monopoly by any power of the rights and privileges, commercial or of any other descrip tion, rightfully appertaining to the general use of the world. Negotiations are tending to the settlement of Nicaraguan affairs on the basis of the Webster and ' Crampton project of 1852, allowing Costa Rica the flee use of the San Juan River to the mouth of the Serapiqui.

Dreadful riots, however, took place at New York on Saturday the 4th, and Sunday the sth inst., in which eight persons were killed, and fifty wounded. At the firework display at Boston, on the 4th, four persons were killed and several wounded.

Towards the close, especially, the market evinced strength, leaving off 1 per cent. higher than yesterday. The other departments of the Stock Exchange were also stronger. The reports circu lated yesterday that an immediate appeal will be made to the market by government for the means of prosecuting the contest in India have been dissi pated. The amount of speculatively-held stock has also been considerably reduced by the sobs of the last few days, and a number of the weaker holders have altogether closed their accounts. tinder these circumstances, the funds showed more dis ptisition to respond to the favourable features in volved in a partial rally at Paris, the continued fall in corn, and the anticipation of a highly favourable Bank return. The dullness noticed at one period of the day was partly attributed to a sale of stock by the Court of Chancery. After 4 o'clock a great rise took place in French railway shares, in answer to the movement of the l'aris Bourse, and buoyancy was thus imparted to the other Stock Exchange markets, all of which closed with a favouraVe appearance. Consols, which were quoted at 4 o'clock yesterday 914 to for the 6th August, opened this morning at 91 13-16 to 4, relapsed for a short time to 914, and closed firmly at 911 to Z, the pries for money being at the same time (4 o'clock) 914 to 1.

The market for British mining stocks has assumed a stronger appearance, and business Is becoming more active. This improvement is materially pro moted by the favourable appearance of the market for tin (as referred to below), which has led to a good demand fur the shares in the principal tin mince, in many eases at advanced prices. Amongst the general business we notice an improvement in East Buss. shares.

FOR NIURPER —A curious ntlatake occurred on Saturday hat at York Amite*, in connexion with the trial of Ann Edmondson, in dicted for the wilful murder of her infant child at Calverley The prisoner had engaged no counsel, but Mr. Pries, at the request of the judge, defended her. On being called upon to plaid, the who was overwhelmed with grief, sobbed the word ' " Guilty." She was indistinctly heard and in a confused state, and her plea was taken as one of "Not Guilty." This was a meet fortunate mistake for the pri soner, as, instead of being condemned on her own confess on, she wile placed on bee trial, and the jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty." Of course she km, received the full benefit of the error, and though a self•confmsed murderess, has escaped the legal penalty of her crinio.—.Dencastre Omelet , .

We have received a copy of the report of the directors and the amounts : " The accounts for the half-year ending June 10, 1812, are subjoined, and show the follojing reeulta amount of capital mired to the 30th of June, 18.37, is 7,797,2151, con• slating of mortgage debt, 1,942,93. x/.; debenture stock, 1,000/. preference capital, 1,234,7261. consolidated stock, 4,618,5141. The total capital outlay during the past half-year has been 6,6231. The principal part of this sum has been cx ptaded in the completion of the telegraph, which now extends over every part of the company's lines end in the construction of works, &c., necessary for the era .101110- dation of the public. The amount of unexpended capital at this date being only 1,088!., and there being several works which cannot longer he delayed without injury to the traffic, it becomes the duty of the directors, in accordance with the intimation conveyed in their but report, to call upon the proprietors to sanction en application to parliament for powers to raise a further sum of 200,000/. It has been so often demonstrated that business can only be developed and carried on with safety and advantage by a proper Clemons of the requisite appliance., that the directors do not feel it necessary to revert to the nutter further than to emirs the proprietors, that, while asking them to approve of this application to parliament, they will take care that no part of the amount is expended without the preepect of a satisfactory return; in the uwantime, they do not anticipate that any large portion will bo immediately required, but in applying for such powers, they think it better to provide for contin gencies which may arise. The gross revenue for the half year has been 349,2241., showing an increase of 6,5461. over the correeponding half-year of 1156. On examining the de tails, it is satisfactory to find that, although in the corres ponding half-year of 1856, a very large revenue wee derived front the naval review at Spittle's', the pence tostivities and the return of the army end navy with their munitions of war, during the last half-year the trattie has reached en amount higher than that of the period in which those unusual sources of revenue occurred, a result exceeding any expecta tion which could have been reasonably farmed. The pro prietors will be glad to learn that there is every reason to be lieve that the West End line will bo completed to the river side by the end of the year, and judging from the manner in which the local traffic has thus far developed itself, the direc tors look forward with confidence to the realisation of their expectations as regards that line of railway. The 800 weather which prevailed during the past half-year enabled the directors to proceed rapidly with the relaying; accord ingly 131 miles hove been completed, and there now remain 10 mita le finish the main line throughout. This work is pre (Owing. and will be executed lxibte the cad of the year. As previously announced, the whole of this outlay is to be borne by revenue, which hue been ngain debited with 3,0 0 01., being the proportion due to the past half-year. The attention of the directors has been heavily taxed during the current am- , sion of parliament, by the introduction of bills affecting the' interests of the company. The only . bill which the directors{ were not snores:4W in opposing one for a now line to. Epsom, starting from the South Western line hawses Wimbledon and Malden. This bill was grantech although it woo clearly alien to b eb oa competing line which had pre viously born re . jectol by Parliament, not only when thie Company's Epsom line wile originally granted, but also in a subsequent moisten. At the last half-yearly meeting the on ningemonts entered into with the Mid-Sussex (Horsham to l'etworth), and the Lewes end tekileld Companies were re ported to and sanctioned by the proprietors ; the bills of there companies have subsequently passed the House of Commons, havo been unanimously approved by a special' meeting of this company, and have been read a second thus in the House of Lords. The net amount at the credit of the revenue Greount for the half-year to 115,927 k, out of which the directors recommend the payment of a dividend of 2} per cent, for the half-year, amounting to 115,464/. leaving a 'balance to the credit of the current half-year of 4631. The directors next in rotation to retire at tho first half -7eeel7 meeting in 1858 are—William Coninghany Esq., fd.r., James Scott Esq., and James Whishaw, Esq.', TUE PARMA RAlLW , ors.—By a decree of the 4th WA. the Denham regent of Parmaluu approved of the con cusions for the construction and working of the railway from Piacenza to the Sardinian frontier, to a company composed of the moat respectable men in Piacenza ace Milan.
