The liabilities are thought to be LlO,OO 0 From Peru it is stated that the loading of the guano at the Guanape Islands is going on, and that the Commissioners recently sent thither to report upon its quality and other points have returned with the announcement that the greater part of the deposits will compare favourably with those from the Chincha Islands. According to the Panama Star, the news of the loan for £500,000 (nominal) having been nego tiated in London had been received with general satisfaction in Guatemala, " as the Government can now undertake and complete several contemplated public works of importance." The agricultural prospects of the State were good, the cochineal crop especially being abundant.

The mail from South Australia brings advices to the 26th of April. The Northern Territory question still engages attention, and Port Dawson is now, it is said, represented to be au El Dorado. The surveys are rapidly advancing, and the pioneers will soon be expected back. But the question who is to colonize this tropical territory still apparently remains un answered. With regard to the legal contention, the discontented land-order holders are denounced as " obstructive, vexatious, and unreasontble in the extreme," and a course of colonial litigation, ulti mate), to be carried to the Pi ivy Council, where the Government have " conti knee that they wi!l be able to wake out a good case against the present cl&inants," seems to be fol%s!iadowed. The South Australian Mining Association (Burnt Barra) has been reccmstiiutcd. The proposal is to regard the present capital of £12,323 in 2,46-1 shares of 1:5 each as equiv,tlent to £61,6000 ; or, in other words, that every holds of one share is to hav,c five .hares in the new concern, and that further shares be issued to bring up the capital to £lOO,OOO. There is to be a regist.er of shares in Loudon, and an English Board of advice. The colonial revenue for the first quarter of 1869 had amounted to £184,387, and the expenditure to £206,382. The expendi ture during 1868 on public works was £244,052, of which £201,110 was borrowed. Wheat is quoted 4s. 11d. per bushel ; flour, £l3 per son. The banks sold their draughts on London at 60 days sight at 1i per cent. pin., and bought at 1 per cent. discount. At the meeting yesterday of the Anglo-American Telegraph Company (limited) the directors' report was adopted, and a dividend of 17a. per share de clared, making, with the interim dividends already announced, a total payment of 475. for the year ending April last. The chairman stated that the average receipts have gone on increasing satisfac torily, and he expressed a belief that the company has nothing to fear from the competition of the ench undertaking. He added that with the re duced tariff there will be a large increase in the number of messages, and that a very satisfactory arrangement had been come to with the Postmaster General with regard to the transmission of roes sages.

OJnsols, Money 921 x d Do. Account, July 7 THE LATE RIOTS IN FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. Yesterday Paris had entirely resumed its accustomed appearance. The crowd which always throngs the capital on Sunday circulated on the boulevards and in the other frequented parts of the city, hut nowhere was there to be found the slightest trace of the agitation of the pre ceding days. At Belleville and Menilmontant there was not even a crowd, except at the entrance of one street, and this was composed chiefly of women. The autho rities, however, have not relaxed their vigour. The Ili:veil continues to be seized, accusations of circulating false news or exciting to hatred and contempt are preferred against numerous writers, several of the provincial papers are in trouble, and a very fair proportion of the Paris populace is in gaol. The Monde assures us that we shall speedily know all about the riots ; the authorities have got possession of important papers containing some exceedingly curious revelations, and the thread of this complicated affair will soon be unwound. The Monde says it is already proven that these disturbances were not the work of chance, that they were not got up by roughs for the mere 'sake of mischief, they were organised on a well studied plan, persistently recommenced every evening, and carried out by paid agents. The Patrie supports this statement. It, too, asserts that there has been a large seizure of papers, but that the inquiries of the authorities are not yet complete. Both journals ridicule the notion that the disturbances were got up by the Government. What had Imperialism to gain by creating a row of this kind? they ask ; but the difficulty is to divine who possilly could profit by the riots, unless it were the roughs who received payment for their agreeable services. It is possible that the adherents of Rochefort may have been guilty of these miserable enzeutes ; but Rochefort must have known that by countenancing such outbreaks he would destroy for ever his hope of sitting in the Corps L6gislatif, of which he has still, barring insurrection, a very good chance, lle has already been chosen the Red candidate for the reddest of the Paris circumscriptions—the first, vacant by Gambetta's election for Marseilles. Moreover, the journal identified with him has discountenanced the riots, if that be worth anything. Awaiting the result of these promising investigations, we may safely assume that the Parisians, as a people, have had nothing to do with these disturbances. The earlier tumults on Monday and Tuesday were rather agreeable than otherwise. They were a novelty. After so many years of complete tranquillity, the Parisians were pleased to have a little rioting, and they accordingly flocked in crowds to the Boulevard Montmartre and other standpoints. People may, however, have too much of a good thing. One or two nights' rioting was all very well ; but four nights of this dangerous sport, culminating as it did in the wan ton mischief of Thursday, was decidedly too much. "On Thursday night," says the Ditat6 " the pi' lie began to he tired of the same spectacle renewed for three successive days, and then disquietude beset many people. It was rumoured that energetic measures were about to be adopted to repress the disturbances. The fact was known that during the day the police had emptied the gunmakers' shops, even in the quarters most distant from the tumult. A regiment of cuirassiers had arrived from Versailles. The whole day masses of people had succeeded each other on the boulevards, where the traces of the violence committed on the preceding night caused a painful impression. Seen in the broad day and in cool blood, these damages, at which the people laughed the previous evening, no longer amused anybody. In short, half from weariness, Paris had enough of disturbance. Thus the arrival of the cavalry on the Boulevard was very well received, and the pavement was cleared without resistance. The crowd would very willingly have aided the soldiers if the few agitators scattered amongst the groups had shewn any disposition to resist." This is a very fair history of the week's proceedings To many of the inhabitants these riots were no joke from the beginning. They were far from being fun in the eyes of the poor people whose kiosks were overturned, or of the cafti proprietors who were obliged to close at a time when their most remunerative business commences. And they are certainly no sport to the multitudes of miserable mortals who are now in prison, many of them having committed no offence beyond that of looking on. Evidence that the respectable classes rapidly grew disgusted with the whole affair is abundant. It is a fact that there is now lying at the Bourse Police Commissary's a petition, signed by 800 persons, prayine to be enrolled as special constables after the English fashion. A letter is published in one of the Liberal papers from twenty-eight householders of Belle ville and Menihnontant, declaring that the people of their quarter were actuated by no seditious spirit, that the A Ithurities made no real effort to put a stop to the distur bances, which, these householders do not hesitate to say, were got up to throw discredit upon the Socialists. I may further remark that, on Sunday night, when a mob of men in blouses came up in the nue du Faubourg Mont martre, the inhabitants at once came out and ordered them off, calling up some sergents-de-ville. Some arrests effected just then shewed the motive of, at least, some of the rioters. Many of them, poorly clad, had large sums of money on their persons. The damages caused to the kiosks, the markets, and the shops during the late riots is estimated at £2,400. But to this must be added the losses incurred at the cafes and other establishments on the boulevards, closed about eight o'clock, and thus deprived of the sale necessary to meet their enormous expenses. These people, you may be sure, are very little disposed to revolution. Worst of all has been the fate of the miserable wretches who have been hurried off to different places of confinement. The estimates differ considerably; but the Patrie, a semi-otficial paper, puts the total number of arrests in round numbers at 1,100 ! This captive army is confined in the Fort of Bicetre, situated to the south of Paris. It is not easy to get admission - to the stronghold, but some gentlemen cf the press have been there, and bring bank the general impression that the prisoners are very uncomfortable, and that many who have paid thus dearly for no offence worse than curiosity are very miserable. The fort is overcrowded with such a number, and those who have been con fined several days are in a state of great prostration. Domiciliary visits and arrests continue to be made. A member of Gambetta's electoral council, 111. May, presi dent of the electoral meetings at the Salle Molkre, and numerous writers and students, have been carried off from their homes. A disturbance which took place at St. Etienne was somewhat serious. In this neighbourhood a band of miners, about 200 in number, went about from place to place in the basin of the Loire on Friday, and speedily got up a great strike. Men left work in all directions, instigated, apparently, by the rumour that a great- rebellion had taken place in the large towns. They made no demand for increased salary, or other requests of the kind. They committed grave excesses Gn Friday and the following day, but troops were sent for, and the news of order in Paris soon put an end to this singular riot. The Due de Persigny's letter "To a Statesman" is the subject of comment in almost all the , journals, and almost all express the same opinion upon it. The Duke rightly says that reforms are wanting, but he does not indicate in any way the precise change which he thinks best ; nor does he mention a single statesman who might enter into Ulm 99mPositi94 9f tbeTnew Cabinet, RAILWAYS.-PREFERENCE SHARES AND STOCKS.

Re 101 110 1111 TVO.RK, TVAGES, AND EMIGRATION. The fortnightly report of the Central Association or Operative Masons states that the strikes now pending, with the numbers on the respective strike rolls aro five, namely : —Birmingham, 28; Birkenhead, 3 ; Bing ley, 5 ; Manchester, 257 ; Sunderland, 7 total, 300. Partial lock-outs still exist in fourteen towns, namely : Bolton, locked out, 9 ; Bristol, 95 ; Coventry, 6 ; Didsbury, 2 ;Fish Ponds, 23 ; Halifax, 61; Liverpool, '235 ; Leeds, 66; Lymm, 3; Old Swan, 9; Sheffield, 25; Wake field, 0 ; Wigan, 7 ; Wolverhampton, 9 ; total, 559; making, with those on strike, an aggregate of 859, showing a reduc tion of 21 members upon the funds since the last return. The gross total of members in the union, according to the last audit, is 18,281. Around Rochdale the colliers are giving way to the masters. Those of Chadwick Hall and Dearuley collieries resumed work, having consented, so wo wore informed, to be reduced is. 6d. per score. It is expected colliers at other works now out of employment will also cecept similar con. ditions. The emigration movement still continues among the ope tative weavers at Preston, and it is expected that another batch of emigrants will be sent off this week. It is stated that the spinners and minders are not so anxious to emigrate as the weavers. THE TRUCK SYSTEM IN SCOTLAND. _ ----~-. Some striking revelations of the truck system in Scot land have recently been made by the special commis sioners of the North British Daily Mail. The system, with all its evils, prevails extensively in Lanarkshire, where the tommy-shops and truck-stores are answer able for much of the degradation, improvidence, and intemperance of the population. The men complain bitterly of the quality and the prices of the goods supplied them at the stores, and declare that 2s. Cd. does not go so far there as 2s. in the regular shops. The wages in some parts are paid monthly, and men dis charged between the " pays " have often to leave without a penny of money, only a truck ticket for the balance being given them. Where there are no stores in connection with the works, the employers often charge a shilling in the pound for interest, but they prefer this greatly to being compelled to take their supplies from the truck-shops. Should there be a store, the man is expected to give up the whole of his money, taking out as much as he requires in goods, and leaving the rest to his credit. It is with difficulty the men get back any costs for their necessary expenses. Two shillincs in the pound is the average allowed them. If the - s,oreman has not the goods required, he sometimes gives the man an order on a local tradesman, and the latter charges a commission on the order. If the men or their wives sell the "lines" which they'get from the store man to testify that so much is due to them, they cannot get the fall value. Even publicans will not give more than ls. 6d. for a 2s. line. If the man on receiving an advance at the pay-office spends the cash in a shop instead of taking it to the storekeeper, the next time he asks for an advance he is refused, and does not get taken into favour again without the intervention of the store keeper. This is called "sloping the store," and few but novices try it. The women try ingenious expedients to save a little ready money, and ask for the most useless and unlikely things, in the hope that the storekeeper will be obliged to refund the money. As a general rule, the managers have so completely monopolised the custom of their workmen that very little cash leaves their hands. The same money passes back and fore between the store and the office two or three times a day. On cashing days the pay clerk exhausts his floating capital, and has to steal out to the storeman to receive back his own coin. In this way 220 will keep a large work going for a whole month between the pays. The worst feature of the whole system, however, is that nearly all these stores have licenses to sell spirits and beer, and every facility is given to the workmen to drink. The men are prevented from subscribing to provident funds or clubs by their money being withheld from them, but they are welcome to spend as much as they like in drink. A BOY KILLED BY DRINKING WHISKY.—A boy named Patrick Hutton, ten years of age, died the other day from drinking a quantity of whisky which he stole from a cask at a public-house door, in Bailieborough, County Cavan, Ireland. PRINCE ARTHUR. —Under present arrangements, Prince Arthur will proceed to Canada in the autumn, where he will be attached to the Rifle Brigade. On his return, in the following spring, he will probably join a battalion of the same regiment which will be stationed at Woolwich. The India Council have sanctioned a building for the India Museum ; orders have been issued to the Board of Works to reserve the ground for it south of the India Office, and to Sir Digby Wyatt to prepare the plans. The building is to provide rooms also for the geographical department of the India Office and the Royal Asiatic Society. DEATH OF 111 n. DEINEWATER MEADOWS.•— Another of our old actors has passed away. Mr. Drink water Meadows, for many years a prominent-comedian at Covent Garden Theatre, where be made his first appear ance as Scrub in " The Peanx•Stfatagem," in September, 182], died at his residence, Prairie Cottage, 'Barnes, on Saturday last, at the age of seventy-five. " ONE SWALLOW DOES NOT MAKE A SUMINIER."--.• Like the spendthrifts of old iEsop, we have rejoiced in a premature spring, and like him our experience has taught us that " one swallow does not make a summer." As I write I have two dead swallows before me, killed like a score or two of their fellow-wanderers by the "unkind" and bitter east winds which have prevailed during the last fortnight in May. I should like to know if this killing of the house martins has been noticed elsewhere. A fort night ago house-flies were common, now there is not one to be seem—The Gardener's Magazine. How SIGNATURES AGAINST THE IRISH CHURCH BILL ARE OBTAINED. —A correspondent of a Bristol con. temporary writes as follows : " I sent my little boy, just twelve years of age, to a shop in Baptist Mills for an article there sold. The shopkeeper asked the little fellow if he could write. On his replying in the affirmative, he was asked to write his name on a sheet then presented to him. Of course he was only too glad to spew his skill in penmanship, and down went the name, clear and legible. On returning from the shop, proud of his achievement, he told me what he had done. Thinking I " smelt a rat " I walked to the shop. I there saw the name of my child, which, of course, I crossed off indignantly. These are facts. I leave others to draw the inferences.—THE FATHER OF THE CHILD." MORE USES FOR PAPER. —Ol late years the part played by paper in the manufacture of household goods has been amazingly extended. We have had paper collars and cuffs, paper waistcoats and wash-bowls, paper pails and pipes—indeed, when it comes to paper race boats, which are successfully rowed, and even paper " oil-cloths," as they are sometimes called, habitually trodden upon—what limits are there to this industry? But now Mr. Pavy's new process for paper-making pro• mises to carry the uses of this substance far beyond any thing hitherto looked for. He compounds it of several sorts of animal and vegetable substances hitherto not employed, and these being reduced to a pulp and bleached, the completed fabric is a sort of felt, or, as it is said, some• thing much resembling what the Japanese use for hand kerchiefs, and absolutely as wide in its application as the latter. It has pliancy, flexibility, strength ; it can be sewed with the needle as easily and as tightly as any of the woven fabrics which it is designed to replace. Already they have made of it table-cloths, quilts, shoes, petticoats (price Gd.), and hundreds of similar articles known to domestic economy. --New York Times.

IMPRISONMENT FOR CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—William Search, of 27, Church.strect, Chelsea, corn dealer, was charged on a summons with cruelly beating and torturing a horse. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. John Eckstein, a gentleman residing at 8, Argyll-terrace, Kensington, that on the 31st of May he saw the defendant driving a coal waggon, in which was a horse much exhausted and evi dently in bad condition, between Hyde-park-corner and Sloane-street ; the defendant beat the horse most un mercifully, and struck it at least thirty or forty times; it was fearfully welded and cut, and bore traces of defend ant's violence. Richard Sinclair, an officer of the Society for the Pro vention of Cruelty to Animals, proved that the horse was old and had been very much knocked about; the cuts were visible when Le saw it. Defendant said it was necessary to use the whip. Mr. Selfe said he gave men who beat women six months, and he considered it worse to beat a dumb ani mal in this abominable way, because a woman could take her own part and a horso could not. lie sentenced him to ten days' hard labour without a fine.

The prosecutor was passing along the Whitechapel-road, when the prisoner abstracted his handkerchief from his pocket. The prosecutor pur sued the prisoner, who was stopped by police-constable Brooke, No. 207, 11, and detained. The handker chief was produced. The prosecutor was fol lowed for about three-quarters of an hour before his handkerchief was stolen, and he was w trued by a friend that a thief was on the point of robbing him. Mr. Joyce, suspecting that the prisoner had something more valuable in view than a handkerchief, transferred a bag of gold from one pocket to another, and had scarcely done so when his handkerchief disappeard. The police man believed the prisoner was au old London thief, and not a Chatham tailor. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and did not offer any ex plan;:tion of who and wLat he was 1.), , y0nd the description alr a•l given. Ile was a( ut,nced to six months' impri sonment and hard la oar.

The Jornalero of Algeciras announces in large type that the abdication of Dona Isabel in favour of the Prince of Asturias is a settled thing, and that the Prince is to marry a daughter of Queen Victoria. who will, in consequence, cede Gibral tar to Spain. As his Royal Highness is only twelve years of age, it is presumed that tire Princess Beatrice, aged eleven, is the bride hinted at by the Jornalero, but . rfhat is Spain to do until these Royal children grow up. —Gibraltar Chronicle. An Admiralty letter has been received at Wool wich, stating that the Dockyard and Arsenal emigrants will be sent out to Quebec in her Majesty's troopship Simoon, instead of the Urgent, as previously arranged on. The Simoon will leave Pottsmouth on the 24th inst. TIIE POTATO CROP.—Upwards of 200 tons of potatoes were sent to London from West Cornwall during the past week. The disease has, unfortunately, made its appearance in several localities, and many of the large growers in Cornwall are consequently hastening supplies to market. MACKEREL.—Large catches of mackerel were taken on the Cornish coast during the past week, and some scores of tons wore forwarded to London, leaving an un usually good supply for Cornwall and Devon. Prices ranged from Bs. to 15s. per 120. ANOTIIEIt CASE FOR COURT-MARTIAL. The maxim of "More haste, less speed," has been verifiel in the case of her Majesty's ship Barrosa. The ship, on the news of the mishap which occurred to the Cadmus, was immediately got iu readiness at Sheerness to proceed to the re:ief of her sitter ship, but on her way westward she also ran ashore, and will have to be subjected to the pro cess of docking at Devouport before she can be allowed to proceed to sea.—Army and Nary Gazette.

Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an oppo r t un i ty h as been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price in some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English makers. At the depot Callaghan, 23A, New Bond-street, corner of Conduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlander at comparatively trilling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. HAMPTON RACES. The Surrey and Middlesex Stakes of 15 goys each, 5 ft with 100 added. Two miles. 15 subs. ;Yrs. st. lb.
