A person called Pierre, who is destined to play the same part that was played by Barone, Carpentieri, and Jervolino in former political trials, brought an accusation of conspiracy against some advocates and others who were to the habit of meet ing in a café near the Toledo. One of these, on being arrested, had in his house a list of the names of per sons to whom he was sending tickets for a perform ance at the Olympic Circus. All who were named in the list were imprisoned. In the houses of some even the wainscoting was removed, and the tiles token up from the ground. The sbirri pretended that they bad toned in the bat of one of them, the advocate Mignogca, a copy of an insurrectionist pro clamation ; but, as he maintained his innocence with great dignity, he was repeatedly beaten, with a view to extort confession. The same thing happened to the advocate Bascone, who, after twenty blows, had a seizure resembling apoplexy, and he was bled on the instant in order to save his life. The proem is now being prepared by the Attorney-General of the Grand Criminal Court of Naples, and a faith hl agent of the infamous ebirro Campaign* has been appointed the Chancellor in this cause.

Trueman and Rouse: The activity which we noticed on the lit ultimo as having revelled during July bee been greatly exceeded during the past month, and in the lest fortnight especially the market has been much excited. The result has been an advance in prices which, for rapidity and amount, has not been equalled for the last 15 years, it being generally 3s. to 41 per cwt., of which refining descriptions and the low and middling grocery qualities have partaken more narticular,y, sad have been throughout in most ',quest. The imports of sugar into the kingdom in the first right month. of the pre sent year amount to only 232,100 toes against 317,500 in the same period last year; while the quantity received from the let of September to the 31st of Decemb,r, in 1854, was 105 000 tons; and this year it is computed that we maw receive more than 80,000; so that our present slander stock must be further largely drawn upon to meet the wants of consumers. It is not surprising then that so considerable an advance—amounting since April, to 7s. per cwt. on the valor in bond---should already have taken place,nor that, with the continuance of the present demand, a nether rise should be confidently locked for. The quantity, including refined, on which duty wee paid in the United Kingdom up to the 31 , 4 July was 248,400 tons against 227,290 to the sth August last year; but this, in consequence of the large amount of duties paid in anticipa tion in July, gives no fair criterion of the actual consump tion which, as we stated last month, we believe has this ' year not materially increased. That, in the lace of higher duties and enhanced prices, it should not have fallen off, is a subject for congratulation and so evidence of the well being of the labouring population. Having for the last three, months dwelt particularly on the shortness of the supply we do not again enter into details; suffice it to say that con sumption has for the present apparently overtaken produc two, and therefore that the filling of prices for some time to come must mainly depend on the tenacity of holders. With reference to the disposition at present shown , to export spirits to Australia , the circular of Mr. ! F. W. Covens contains the following warning: It will be seen that the export during the peat month (of spirits especially) has been unusually if not imprudently large. Of brandy alone, in July sad slogan, alms 166,000 gallons have been slipped. At a late date in' June the stocks in Melbourne and Sydney (after some months of comparatively limited shipments from hence) stood as alder:—Brandy, 642,000 gallon.; sundry other spirits, 662,000 gallons; total. 1,304,000 gallons. A large propor non of this busy stock can be accounted for by the surplus supplies which have been accumulating at the other Austra lian ports, haling now been drawn to Melbourne and Syd ney by the prospect of remunerative prices ruling there. Another most important consideration for speculative ship pers is that by the last advice, we learn from Melbourne that comparing the four months ending 30th April, 1&54, with 1855, the consumption of brandy had declined to the exteat of 51,546 galloon, and Geneva 24,685, while a small increase of 8,052 gallons appears upon ram. TrIMIDAT Tho English funds remain fiat, and have expe rienced to-day a further decline of / per cent. Specu lative sales are encouraged by the demand for money, which today (the 4th of the month) was very heavy, and kept the discount house*, Bc., very busily em ployed. In the Stock Exchange money contmes to command 3 per cent. on government securities. In estimating the future range of prices in the Consol market, due weight must be given to the monthly creations of fresh stock, which will probably only cease with the war. Hitherto these new issues of stock have been absorbed with remarkable readiness, but although the future demand may continue large, it can scarcely be expected that such a steady addi tion to the debt will exercise no influence upon the market pries. At Paris to-day the Three per Cent. Bente' expe rienced an unfavourable reaction of per cent. Money is rising in value in Peri', owing partly to the government loan requirements, partly to the impulse given to some branches of trade by the Paris Exhibition and by the influx of foreigners, and partly to the extensive speculation for higher price* which is now in progress on the bourse. Oo railway shares the rates of " contango" bare reached 10 to 20 per cent., and on the Three per Cent. Rentes, at the liquidation just over, 6 to 7 per cent. was freely paid.

Pia I I II 17 THE IRON TRADE. 721 3 34 II -- The demand for pig iron is very brisk, and at I advanced rates. Sheet ilea is In great request, and the mills and forges are inactive operation. It is reported that several large nooses have more orders on their books than they can execute during the remainder et the quarter, and that they will not take further orders except subject to whweeer advance may be declared at the neat preliminary meeting in September, which will be held on the 27th inst., and the ieelared rise, which will be either 20s. or 40e. per ton upon malleable iron. Oa Saturday last a meeting of the coal and iron masters was held at the Hotel, Dedky, to take lath eons.deration the propriety of advancing the wages of the colliers west of Dudley. W. 0. Foster, of /Murton, presided, and after a little discussion it was agreed to advance the (hick coal colliers 6t. per day, and the stone getters 3d., making the farmer 44.61., and the latter 3.. 64. per day ; and it was further agreed, if at neat quarter day the price of Iron should be advanced as is expected, to give the colliers an other intros , . et 6d., and the stone-getters 3d. per day, making the former Si., and the latter 32. 9.1. per day. To this proposition the colliers and miners demur, and it is not expected that they will resume their work upon each terms. The affairs of Mr. Thomas Spencer, irenmaster, of Dud- ley district, which for some weeks have been alternating be tween a private arrangement and bankreptcy, have at length been finally arranged without resort being bad to the public court. In the early part of the week it was feared that this very heavy cancers (the liabilities in one form or another exceed 100,0001) would have been subjected to all the expenses of an open adjudication, but on Saturday, at a meeting under the private gement clauses of the Bankruptcy Act, the affer of 24. 61. In the pound payable is four months, and adequately guaranteed, was accepted by the creditors. Yesterday a shocking accident occurred toe points man named Jesus Browne, at tlie Wedusileld Heath eta 'doe, on the London and North-Water* line. The unfor tunate man was shunting some waggons on a siding, and while jumping on one of the breaks attached to the wheels of railway trucks, for the purpose of slackening the speed of the train, be eared his footing, one of bis feet slipped in between the spokes of the wbeel, be was thrown upon his beck, and is this position he we. dragged a distance of 160 yards before he could be released. When taken up it was fogad the: the leg which bad become ea tangled with the wheel was brokers, and that he was other. wise gristly injured. He wee carried to **South Stafford shire Hospital, where it was found that his state was such that It would not permit of the amputstioa of his leg, and he now lies In a very hopeless condition. Another week of fine weather has increased the usarance of an abundant and well-gathered harvest. The reports from nearly all parts of the censtry are of the most gratifying kind, and the gathering is npresented as making satisfactory progress. The Rev. Cbrietopher &myth, one of the curates of St. Niebeles, Tenuatt, has lately ascended to the highest point of Monte Rosa, hitherto deemed isacceedble ; and has dace succeeded in naettiag the summit of the monarch of siiimistae, Mont Mane, by a new mute; and without the aid of guides. Captain Hammett, emismander of the Albion, who was killed Ia the trenches ea the 17th inst., is the broth/ir is-law of Sir B. H. E. Luso, Bart., the Member for Yar mouth. He served as mate of the Bellerophon at the bombardment of St. Jean d'Aere Ia 11140. and we. employed on the North Ananias sad West India maims previously to his being seat to the Sleek See. ...The settlement of the new Frotek ru L o oin ie ' peeled to be ariiitied for Fries mkt.

Should it prove true, as repored, that the harvest in France does not realise tLe anticipations previously enter tained—an apprehension which derives some con firmation from the ascent purchases of corn cn French account in the London market—additional reason will be afforded fur holding aloof from any undue specula tive excitement in that great field of gambling—the Paris bourse. Consols opened at 901 to a for money and Thurs day's settling, and closed at 90a to 1. The "contango" for the new account of the 12th October has advanced to 3-16 per cent.

The scrip of the new French loan was quoted rather better, at 21 to 23 premium. The foreign exchanges this afternoon were firm, with a good supply of bills on moat places.

The impression gains strength that the Bank of England will probably, to-morrow, advance tbeir rate of discount of 4 per cent. Taking the fluctuations in their stock of bullion as a guide, the measure is certainly to be expected. In Aril last, erten the rate stood at 41 per cent., the amount bell was about 15,600,0001. In May, when a rednetien Loch place to 4 per cent., it was about 18,000,0001.; and in June, when there was a further drop to 31 per cent., it was over 18,000,0001. Now ft is again only 16,500,0001., and, instead of any rasa of steadiness at that point, there is every reason to anticipate a further ran sidersble, although perhaps temporary, dimMution. The Birmingham theatre was crowded on Satur day evening last to hear and witness a great novelty in th e combined attractions of selections from three celebrated operas, Norma, 11 Bat biere de Seniglia, and Don Pasquale, the principal rules being rendered by Madame Grisi, Ma dame Gassier, and Signori Mario, Lorivi, Lusini, and Gassier.
