MONEY MARKET. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. During the last few days there has been more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets. T e a, however, owing to a pressure of sales, has slightly declined. Sugars have shown an improvement, while coffees are held for fully pre vious q uotations. Rice has been dull and rather cheape►, while a limited business has been enterPd into iu fruit and spices at about previous quotations. Tallow has been dull, and few transactions have been negotiated either for present or forward de livery, A moderate amount of business was transacted in the Liverpool cotton market yesterday, and prices were unaltered. The sales were about 5,000 bales. The bullion operations at the Bank of England yesterday were not of an important character. Friday next has been appointed for a settlement in the scrip of the Chartered Bank of British Co lumbia and Vancouver's Island ; and the 19th inst., in the shares of the Imperial Bank, and dealings in both are to be officially recorded. A steady demand is experienced in the general discount market, and full rates are required in the joint-stock banks and private firms for all the s(cu rities they negotiate. Very few bills are now taken at 21 per cent., and the consequence is a large augmentation of business in the discount office of the Bank of England. A dividend of 22f. per share has been declared by the directors of the South Austrian and Lom bardo-Venetian Railway, payable after the 15th inst., making the total distribution 40f. for the year. A new edition of the " Merchants Shippers Directory" has been published by Mr. Effingham Wilson, of the Royal Exchange. It is arranged for the year 1862, and affords information of a very useful character to the mercantile classes. One of the most conspicuous features is a list of all the principal export houses, and a full account of the articles exported to and imported from the leading foreign and colonial markets. CITY NEWS-THIS DAY. Two O'CLocx. At the first annual meeting to-day of the Trus and Agency Company of Australasia the report, s which gave a very satisfactory account of the opera tions of the company since its foundation, was 12 unanimously agreed to.

THE CHESTER CUP• Paid. Business donc As stated yesterday, I now resume my remarks on the above race. - The field will be more numerous than last year, but scarcely half the number will face the starter than did when Joe Miller won it. The field will bo selected from the following - 6 - '7 ---- 72 102 103 6 bid 8i 9 83 86 81 84 80 ago tt lb Tim Whiffler 3 6 11 C by Wild Dayrell - - Vest Caractacus 3 6 8 3 6 5 Sappho . Silk stone Hadji Stavros *Dalesman Victrix Brighton 3 6 0 F by Longbow out of Sis. to Stafford 3 6 0 Agog Ju g ng Frau age st lb Stamped() Caller Ou Butterfly Fairwater Chere Amie Wild Rose Henham Lass 4 7 13 Royallieu *Springwell *Vancouver Simla Zodiac Prince of Denmark a 7 5 *Reindeer 4 7 5 *Astarte 4 6 121 Those I have thus (*) marked I consider to be doubtfu l starters, so the field will number about five and twenty— some people who pretend to "know all about it," say there won't be more than a dozen—the majority of which have already been in public this year without attaining any very distinguished success, the names of Stampedo and Brighton being alone enrolled among the list of winners, The former showed himself to be a thoroughly good horse by the style in which he won tho Northamptonshire Stakes, but the 101 b penalty he thereby incurred will, I fear, prove fatal to his chance here. Caller On I look upon as the best of the heavy weights, and is almost sure to get a place. Fair water is now the very picture of condition, and as her running both for the Oaks and the Ascot Cup displayed first-rate staying qualities, I have no doubt of her getting the distance ; but that she can quite give the weight she has to do to some of the three year-olds is somewhat questionable. Chere Amie, when unable to carry Mr. Naylor's colours to the fore last year, with such a light impost as 6st 81b, will hardly do so now that she will have to carry Bst 3ib. Wild Rose has been backed for what is teimed " good money," and were she really sound and returned to her old form, there would be no occasion to look beyond her for the win. , ner. Henham Lass, it is rumoured, will certainly run, and that she is improved so much there is now every pro bability of her doing the " good thing" she failed to do for the Cambridgeshire. Her backers on that occasion have, however, a too vivid recollection of the inglorious figure she cut . on a short curse to now trust her on a longer one. Springwell was infirm last year, and I have heard nothing of him this to warrant the expectation of seeing him at the post. Royallieu can only have a very remote chance, if we saw the best of him in the Derby Trial Stakes. Van couver won't like the distance. Simla's running in the Metropolitan last year was good until she fell lame, which [necessitated her being thrown up for the remainder of the season. Her weight is favourable, but though I believe she is now sound, I have little confidence in anything having the character of "a leg' round such a tortuous course. Zodiac has been a "hot 'un" in the market for a long time, money being "heaped on" him to no end, which is scarcely warranted by his running hitherto, as on two or three occasions last year, when also trusted with a "lump," he showed the "white feather" so nu - mistakably that I should be loath to trust . him in so severe a contest as this is likely to be, bearing in mind how he was beaten at Derby by the two moderate horses, Jingling Johnny and Coronet. The excuse may certainly be made for him that he previously ran a severe race, in which he beat Caller Ou and Sawcutter, a feather in his cap, no doubt, were he not in receipt of considerable weight from both. It must then be, upon what he can now do, not upon what he has done, his owner builds his hopes ; but unless the "course is cleared" for him, which some people believe to be the case, I have no expectation of seeing him pull through. Piince of Denmark is too slow to enable Mr. Barber to carry off the Cup, for the second time in succession. The "Erne raider" Reindeer showed some speed as a two. year-old, after which the dicky state of his legs required rest. Being a Mountain Deer, I doubt his staying. Astarte has not had time to improve much since her change of quarters. The Vest colt ran well at Epsom, and as he is better on sound ground than in dirt, he is bound to be forward. The re cent performance of Duke Rollo makes Caractacus only moderate, if his running in the Biennial was correct. Sappho, if recovered from her late slight illness, will take some beating. Hadji Stavros will represent the French division, who are always dangerous when they put the coppers down. Silkstone has been highly tried with Elcho, and her clever party seldom make a mistake over large handicaps. She performed well last year, and as public !form is the best guide, I shall pin my faith to her on the present occasion. Dalesman is rumoured to be a good horse, but though nibbled at for both this race and the Derby, the market, at the time of ' my writing, has given no sign of his allowing the public to judge of his abilities in the grand contest on the Roodee. Victrix was once fancied a little, but now seems out of favour, from which it is only reasonable to infer that Rap paree has given her the coup de grace at home. Brighton ran a fair horse in the Metropolitan, and was well up in the Two Thousand, which if not a false run race, ought to give him a great chance here. As only one horse can win, it is no use selecting a dozen, and then claiming the winner, as some of the sporting writers do ; therefore I shall stand or 5 201 2L 102 103 1031 1041 24 4 25 - 69 72 57 80 37 40 43 46 36 38 36 38 102 1021 P 1011 102 b 12'4. 124 8h 7i 102 104 03 95 92 05 101 102 94 96 92 94 5 7 tall with SILK STONE, as the winner of the Chester Cup.

Brocklebank at this port. She laid her eggs, hatched them in due course, and reared her young brood till they were fledged. The situation of the nest was within a few feet of where the carpenters were work ing daily, but Mrs. Chaffinch felt and looked as much confilence in both men and apprentice lads as if she knew each had got Shenston's lines by heart, and was re solved to adopt their sentiment : I have found out a gift for my fair ; I have found where the wood pigeons breed : But let me that plunder forbear, She will say 'tis a barbarous deed : For he ne'er could be true, she averred, Who could rob a poor bird of its young : And I loved her the more when I heard Such tenderness fall from her tongue. And, confiding in their forbearance, she never suffered the ca rpenter's operations to ruffle her equanimity a bit. This year she has returned to the yard, and built her nest inside a new ship, on one of the stage supports, between the ends of two planks and under that of another. This time there is only a thin plank between the workmen's feet and the nest. Such perfect faith in the better p art of human na ture surely entitles the little creature to the most loving protection.— Whitehaven Herald. The Kangaroo from New York brought £171,000 and the Canada £lO,OOO. The next American steamers are also expected to bring some rather large amounts. CIA M NT. _ --- official information to the effect that the recent murder in the county of Tipperary was committed about 3 p.m., at a most open spot on the public highroa d, within 2 miles cf the police station at New Inn, and 32 miles of those at Cashel altd Golden respectively, and that its com mission was not knuwn to the police at 1: ew Inn until 7 p.m., at Cashel until 8 p.m., or at Golden until the follow ing morning. He also asked whetherthe Irish bills on the paper would be proceeded with this evening ? Sir R. PEEL said he was not aware of the exact dis tance of the place where the murder was committed from the police Stations in question, end he understood that the parties suspected of this murder had been arrested the day after it was discovered. As regarded the Irish bills, considering that the first order of the day, the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, would in all probability lest a consi derable time, it was not likely they would be brought on this evening. THE DISCOUNT FOR CIVIL CONTINGENCIES. In reply to Lord R. MONTAGU, 1 i'dr. PEEL said the money which had been spent with out the sanction of Parliament had been repaid. ALLEGED DEFEAT OF lITJSSEIN PASHA. HOUSE OF LORDS—YESTERDAY. The LORD C H ANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Mackintosh Farr Fund Bill and the Lendon, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (enlar g ement of station) Bill were read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The Bridport Road (second district) and the Barnsley Local Board of Health Bills were read a third time and passed. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS BILL. Lord LYVEDEN moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which is to provide a sort of index which would facilitate an examination into the list of voters. The Earl of Salisbury, Lord Chelmsford, and the Earl of Carnarvon opposed the bill. The motion for the second reading, after a few words from Earl GRANVILLE, was agreed to. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. The Earl of SHAFTE•IBURY called attention to the distress now unhappily prevailing in the Lancashire cotton districts, and in doing so took occasion to speak in terms of high commendation of the spirit by which all classes, em ployers and operatives, were actuated at this period of deep and severe trial. Several Suggestions had been made with a view to alleviate the pressure of distress, the more impor tant of which were a grant from the Consolidated Fund and an appeal to public charity. The first of these, he op • prehended, would not he received with favour in any quar ter ; whilst the second was not the means by which the people themselves would desire to be relieved. They would greatly prefer receiving relief from the administration of the poor law, provided it could be made to meet the peculiar circumstances of the case. He wished to know, therefore, whether Government were prepared to advise any relaxa tion of the rigid rules of the Poor-law Commissioners, and more especially the labour test. Lord OVERSTONE concurred with the noble earl in the tribute of admiration which he had paid to the exem plary conduct of the operatives during the present crisis ; but thought that the emergency could only be met by act ing upon those sound principles which alone could render relief a blessing to those to whom it was extended. Earl GRANVILLE replied that it was impossible to deny that very great distress existed in the cotton manu facturing districts, and that much individual sufferißg was the consequence. At the same time he believed it was not quite so extensive as was imagined, whilst the manufac turers and the guardians of the poor had shown great wisdom and judgment in the measures they had adopted to cope with the crisis. As to the labour test, the beards of guardians had power to dispense with it for a period not exceeding three weeks, at the end of which time they must report to the Poor-law Board, who, if they saw sufficient reason, might permit the suspension of the test for a still longer period. It was no doubt desirable that the regula tions under the law should be conformed to as far as possi ble; nevertheless, they ought to be made so elastic in their operation as to be available for dealing with cases of pressing emergency. Up to the present moment there was nothing to lead to serious anxiety or alarm, or to the apprehension that the poor law was inadequate to reach the evil. Ex cept in one or two quarters the rates had not attained any very high amount, whilst the rateable value of property in the district, which six years ago was estimated at £7,000,000, had since enormously augmented. There was no reason to suppose that the local resources would fail; district com mittees were actively engaged in ascertaining and relieving the wants of the people ; and the Poor-law Board had sent down Mr. Farnell, an experienced inspector, who for five or six years bad been employed in an adjoining district for the purpose of conducting an investigation on the spot. In conclusion, the noble earl joined in the eulogiums pro nounced by the preceding speakers on the manner in which both manufacturers and workpeople had borne themselves, and declared, on behalf of the Government, that their ad miration for the latter was only surpassed by the sympathy they felt for their misfortunes. The Earl of DERBY also desired to bear testimony to the admirable manner in which all classes concerned had met a calamity which was almost unparalleled in their his tory; indeed, the perfect order that prevailed and the sub mission and patience with which the severest privations were endured, were above praise. He was entirely satisfied with the determination of the Government not to grant re lief out of the Consolidated Fund, which was the last re source to which application should be made, especially by so wealthy a community as that of Lancashire. He also thought that the Government had done right in sending down an inspector to assist the local authorities and keep the Poor-law Board supplied with information, It was true that there had been times when the county of Lancas ter was more distressed as a whole than at present, but in particular localities there never was a period when distress had been greater. The subject then dropped. THE RIVER SHANNON. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for a select committee to inquire into the causes of the great and fre quent inundation of the River Shannon and its tributaries, and into the effects of the works constructed by the Shan non commissioners of 1839, upon the navigation and drain age of the country, and how far such works were in accord ance with the plan referred to in the statutes under which they were undertaken. Earl GRANVILLE objected to instituting such an in quiry by means of a committee, and suggested that the more advisable and satisfactory course would be to send down two engineers for the purpose of making an examine• tion, one to be appointed by the Board of Works and the other by the landed proprietors. The Earl of DERBY concurred in the suggestion, but recommended that the commissioners should not be fet tered in the scope of their inquiries. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE expressed himself satisfied with this arrangement, and the motion was with- In reply to Mr. FREELA.ND, Mr. LAYARD advised the hon. member not to pay muc h attention to the tele g rams from Ragusa. As far her Maje:ty's Government were conc , rned, they w ere -in formed that the Turkish troops in the Herzegovina were successful, although they had sustained some temporary reverses. The Government were no't responsible for the accuracy of the telegrams whicli had been received from Ragusa. CAPTAIN COLES' SHIELD. In reply to Admiral WALCOTT, Lord C. PAGET said that Captain Cedes' shield was to be tried, and the Admiralty had communicated with him on the subject, and the shield would be prepared in accord ance with his own plan and design. CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL. On the motiEn for going into committee on this bill, Mr. NEWDEGATE repeated the objections that had been urged last year to combining in one bill a number of different items of public income. lie contended that such a course was not only imminent, but unconstitutional, and was leading to the introduction of a precedent that might hereafter prove most dangerous. Mr. BASS contended that the bill was equally objection able in principle and precedent, and that so far as the alte ration relating to hops was concerned it would be of no benefit to the consumer. Capt. DTINCOMBE criticised at some length the general financial policy of the Government, which he said was con ceived and carried out in a spirit of hostility to the landed interest. He condemned the expenditure as too high, and charged the Chancellor of the Exchequer with breach of faith in not having repealed the income tax in 1860. After some observations from Mr. LOCKE, Mr, DODSON, and other members, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declined to enter into the discussion either of questions such as that referred to by Mr. Newdegate, which had already been con sidered and settled by the house, or of details, which had better be reserved for committee on the bill. The house then went into committee, and on the Bth clause, rendering it imperative on private persons brewing beer for domestic consumption to take out an annual license, Mr. BALL protested against the measure, on the ground of its unfairness and injustice, especially to the agricultural community. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER expressed I his willingness to defer to what appeared to be a very gene rally felt opinion, not to press the clause, which was, there fore, negatived accordingly. Several amendments eta minor character were subse quently agreed to on the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and ultimately the bill passed through committee. The Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, the Lunacy (Scot land) Bill, and the Weights and Measures (Ireland) Act Amendment Bill were severally read a second time. The Moveable Property (Scotland) Bill and the Public Works and Harbours Act Amendment Bill passed through committee. Mr. ADDERLEY obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the giving of nd to discharged prisoners. Leave was given to the Lord Advocate to introduce a bill to remove doubts concerning, and to amend the law re lating to, the private estates of her Majesty, her heirs and successors. The select committees on prosecution expenses and on the Drainage (Ireland) Bill were nominated. Leave was given to Mr. A. Ellis to bring in a bill to amend the law relating to the duration of contested elections for counties in Ireland, and for establishing additional places for taking the poll thereat; also a bill to limit the time for proceeding to elections in counties and boroughs in Ireland. The other business having been disposed of, the house adjourned. drawn. The select committee on noxious vapours was app ointed. and their lordships adjourned. k.RE S Profits st )*Caledon. £lO Gua.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Lord R.

THE IMPRISONMENT OF THE BOY THOMAS Al' MAIDSTONE. Mr: SEYMOUR gave notice that on Thursday next he would call the attention of the house to this matter, which had excited so much public indignation. THE KANTURK UNION (IRELAND). Mr. V. SCULLY gave notice that he would ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland some questions relative to cer tain circumstances connected with the Kanturk Union, in cluding the accuracy of a statement which had been made, to the effect that two of the inmates of the union had ob tained leave of absence in order to go rabbit -hunting. (Laughter.) THE UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN. Colonel SYKES asked the Lord Advocate on what grounds and at whose suggestion the class fees had been increased, and many bursaries abolished, in the University of Aberdeen, without previous communication with the authorities of the University ? The LORD ADVOCATE said that he understood the ques tion of the hon. and ga llant gentleman related.oteertrf or di nanc es which had been pa ssed b y the Commissn s.o the Scotch Universities which were laid on the table i of the h ou se, and would be refe rred to the Privy Council. As Go vernment wasnotresponsibleforthe ordinance, ho thought it wou ld be inconvenien t to enterinto a discussion of the subject in the house, but he would state that the revision of the class fees had been proceeded with in accordance with the recom mendations of the commission of 1826 and 1835, who had reported after having fully investigated the subject, CAB TRAFFIC AT THE WEST END, Mr. ALCOCK asked the First Commissioner of Works whether he saw any objection to allow hackney cabs to pass through a portion of Hyde-park in order to avoid Park • lane, which was now rendered almost impassable at times ow i n g to the traffic to the Exhibition ? Mr. COWPER said he believed Park-lane was too nar row for the traffic which passed through it, and the best mode that could be adopted was to widen it or to lengthen nainilton-place. It would be very inconvenient to transfer ail y portion of the traffic to Hyde-park. SOLDIERS' IN AITUTES AT PORTSMOUTH. Mr. W. EWART asked the Secretary of State for War, if a Soldiers' Institute would be formed at Portsmouth, in conformity with the report of Captain Pilkington Jackson? Sir G.

This splendid specimen of the Wooden Old England continues to be a Source of great attraction on the north side or the Firth. On day night, the shore at Burntisland was clad with spectators, whose close proximity to the veE-a:1 enabled them narrowly to watch the attenrt which was made about nine o'clock to get her off the sandbank upon which she had ut::aeliiiy stranded. It seems that the chart used by the master of the St. George was incorrect—the depth of water at the spot where the vessel went aground having been put down at .7 fathoms ebb-tide, while the depth when the vessel struck was only 3-,e. She floated easily about nine p.m. with the rise of the tide, and was taken round during the night to the west side of the Railway Pier, where she now lies at anchor a quarter of a mile distant from the shore. From morning till late at night on Sltur day, pleasure and provisioe boats hovered round the vessel—the former crowded with passengers of both sexes—the weather being fine —and the latter laden with ell the " loaves and fishes" Burntisland could furnish, the demand exceeding the supply. Several trips to and fro were also made by the ferry steamers. No visitors were admitted on board till afternoon, when all who came were courteously welcomed, and allowed to inspect every part of the ship, the extremely tidy and efficient appear ance of which was the subject of universal wonder- . went and talk. The St. George has 91 guns at present, instead of 86, and 875 men, of whom 150 are marines. Large numbers of the officers and men have been ashore in Burrhisland ; and on Saturday Mr. Nicholson, locomotive superintendent on the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, conducted a party, comprising the surgeon, chief engineer, and others, through the railway works there, all the departments of which they regarded with much interest. Since the arrival of the St. George, telegrams have been despatched to and received from Balmoral several times daily by Captain Egerton, and it is now certain that Prince Alfred will leave Balmoral with the intention of joining the vessel to-day (Monday), arriving in Burntisland by the eight o'clock train this evening. Captain Currie, of the Burntisland Artillery Volun teers, having offered the services of the company as a guard of honour to receive the Prince on his arrival at the Burntisland Station, had the follow ing reply by telegraph from Balmoral on Saturday afternoon :—" His Royal Highness Prince Alfred is sensible of your attention, but wishes to uispense with all ceremony on his return to the St. George." Burntisland is quite on the gad vire at this unex pected visit of the Prince, and it will no doubt he difficult to render his reception totally void of de monstration. Visitors, we understand, will be gladly allowed on board the St. George the whole of Monday, and as it is expected that she will sail for Plymouth on Tuesday evening to undergo re pairs, the present opportunity of seeing a handsome ship-of-war in full complement and in beautiful order, ought not to be lost. It is reported, how ever, that she will again enter the Forth, and take up her present position on the 21st of this month-- with what intentions, or if the Prince is to remain on board, has not been stated.—Scotsnzan. THE MURDER OF MAGUIRE. In the Clonmel Chronicle we find the following report of the evidence taken before the coroner on Saturday last. It will be seen that no verdict is as yet reported : The first witness sworn was Edmond Phelan. He said— I live at Nine Mile House ; I knew the deceased Michael Maguire; was speaking to him on the last Thursday in April, at the fair of Carrick-on-Suir, about the farm ho had taken at Rahcen, from which Kennedy had been ejected ; I advised him to give some money to Michael Kennedy—i2o or £3o—to enable him to go out of the country, as I thou4ht ho had no way of living at home when he was put out of the farm, and he said ho would not; I cannot say wh:. I said that to Maguire, but that was my motive in speaking to him about it. It is usual in the country, when a person is put out of his farm, to get some Compensation from the person who took it ; I also considered that Michael Kennedy might have angry feelings towards Maguire ; if another person took the land from which I had been ejected, l am sure I would have angry feelings against that person; I heard many people speaking about Maguire taking the land, and they considerad it an ugly turn ; I spoke to the wife of the deceased about influencing her husband to give Kennedy some compensation; I came to the house about it, when Maguire said he would not give Kennedy anything; I reasoned with him, and he replied that he had laid out too much money on the land already, and that he was sorry he had anything to do with it ; I was afraid that there might be some bad end come of Maguire for taking she land Ken nedy had been put out of ; I also thougtt it would be more creditable for the deceased to give liennedy something ; I think any man of honest feelt i g would speak to Maguire about it ; I am married to a niece of the deceased ; there was a great deal of talk in the country about his taking Kennedy's farm, Coroner—Did any person go to you to tell you to speak to him P Witness—No ; I ventured to speak to him myself. To Mr. Hanna—l never hear a rumour that Kennedy had used threats to Maguire. To the Coroner—lt was•considered in the country a very ugly turn of Maguire's to take Kennedy's farm, and it might be the means of recovering some of the bad name he (Ma guire) deserved. Sub-Constable John McCormack examined- 1 am sta tioned at Glenbower ; on Tuesday last, about 11 o'c1:),011I was called upon by Patrick Smith ; he sai d Smith led to wards at land, but gui I re was suspectedsh shot t onit was l e land," he Kennedy ne did dy noths held d say ; w wards Raheen, but I got there be fore wereoovered with y irn was first up to was stretched oil his he n where h ankthe hishold in his cheek just deceasedth rost e was t, he was quite dead ; that might have s death; o ut a I h foundort distance to the spot for any weapon james caused hi above blood teeth ; his trouselrsseisanairacd:usehdirierdti r teasgen tl convenient there walking h from his father; h e h a d a s ti c k i n hand beat i ng the ground ; he was bawling; I searc h e d the person of the deceased, but found nothing on him b ut as two bits of scorched paper in his trousers pocket ; there was a little heat in the body, but it was not natural ; t h en got a horse and went immediately to report the case to Head-Constable Parr, at Carrick-on-Suir ; the sub-in spector, Mr. Heard, comeback with me, and shortly after Mr. Scully, and Mr Hanna came out ; when Ileft the barrack the constable and two men were onduty ; whenlwasleaving tho field his son James told me to tell the ploughman to co me up with a car to remove the body ; I did not meet the ploughman, but when I came back the body was removed ; the body was found on the lands of Raheen. The following despatch has been communicati d to the Marseilles journal :—The RailwaCousultative Committee, composed Jf 21 members, Behs unanimously rejected the demand made by the Southern Railway Com pany for an inquiry relative to their projected line from Cette to Marseilles along the coast. Letters from Vichy state that the Emperor is expected to arrive early this season. The municipal coun cil has charged a committee of three persons with the pre parations for his Majesty's reception.
