In the colonial produce market this week the previous improvement has been maintained and a steady business transacted. A continuance of large deliveries of coffee and the delayed arrivals from Colombo have led to a material reduction in the stock, which is now less than at the same date last year. The sugar market is steady in tone, and the stocks in the United Kingdom are considerably below those of the previous season at the corre sponding date. In the tea market no improvement Can be quoted. Another steamer, the Erl King, bas arrived with new season's teas, but these are taken slowly. Some of the medium grades of con gou, per Agamemnon, by auction, went rather under the highest rates of last week, and fine obtained full rates. A shipment has just been made from Constanti nople of 800 Angora goats of the finest race, as a breeding stock for the Cape of Good Hope, a pre vious experimental shipment to that colony having, it is stated, been attended with great success. A company chartered by the Legislature of New York, under the name of " The Atlantic, Mediter ranean, and Oriental Steam Navigation Company," is stated to be taking measures to establish a line of American steamships to connect, by way of the Mediterranean Sea and _Suez Canal, with the va- rious lines sailing to China and the far East.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, September 3. The debate in the Senate is at this moment the all engrossing topic. You are already familiar with the speech of Prince Napoleon, which is still being every where discussed. Naturally, everyone is asking what the Emperor thinks of his cousin's manifesto, and the news that the Prince had yesterday afternoon a long interview with NapoleoDexcited lively interest. The Constitutionnel, which favours the Prince, asserts that the Emperor ex pressed his concurrence in most of his relative's views, but the Patrie triumphantly declares that long before this interview the Emperor had com manded the attendance of M. Forcade de la Roquette, and had warmly congratulated him on his speech of the day before. Now as the two speeches were certainly not identical in their views, it follows that if the Emperor was pleased with that of the Minister of the Interior, he could not have very cordially approved of his cousin's. Thus argues the Patric, and it explains Prince Napoleon's visit by the Emperor's natural desire to thank him for his professions of attachment to his dynasty, for getting that yesterday it stigmatised those very profes sions as ill-timed and out of place! Rumours of every kind are rife. Some would have us believe that there is a secret understanding between the Emperor and his cousin ; others, that at this very interview of which I have been speaking the Emperor reproached the Prince vehemently for his conduct and his speech. As for the Ministry, they are naturally a good deal irritated by this sudden explosion in their midst. M. Rouhcr, I hear, had the greatest difficulty to restrain himself from an immediate reply. " I will not read it again," he is reported to have said of the obnoxious speech, "lest I should be tempted to answer it." M. Arcade's reply was not very prudent, inasmuch as he pledged himself against all those supplementary reforms which the Prince demanded, and for which the Liberals of Paris aro eagerly looking. While speaking of the Minister of the Interior, I may notice that he alluded to the amnesty as one of the glories of the Empire—that amnesty which M. Forcade de la Roquette, if report be true, oppoSed to the very last minute. The views which the Prince expressed in this redoubtanie speech will doubtless find favour in England. He forsees the danger which would result from the excessive powers claimed by the Senate, which he terms a convention in pre sence of a Cmsar. Ile would abandon such ex tremeprivileges; he would permit the public discussion of the Constitution, affirming reasonably enough that every good citizen must take an interest in politics. lie would modify the articles relating to the nomination of deputies and he would have a thorough municipal reform. I mentioned the other day a rumour that M. Boujean's amendment would not fail to receive his Highness's support, and you will accordingly End that Prince Napoleon declared himself unmistakeably in favour of a change in the composition of the Senate. "Election," said he "is more powerful than any mere nomination, and history has proved that the fertile soil of universal suffrage is more favourable to the vigour of any body than the mere brilliant sand of Imperial favour." "The best method of combating revolutions," said the Prince, in conclusion, "is to adopt what is good in them, and on this path the Government has entered. Let it persevere." In all this there is nothing which merits M. S6guin d'Aguesseau's denunciation of " scandalous,' even if we include the Prince's supplementary list of future reforms, in which I am glad to find that he ranks the abolition of Article 75, indemnifying Government agents from the consequences of unjust and arbitrary arrests. In its second sitting the Senate voted the four first Articles of the Senatus-Consultum, thereby preparing no small perplexity for the future, since the ques tion of Ministerial responsibility is left delight• fully vague. M. Devienne defended himself and his report against the attacks of Prince Napo leon, and was followed by M. Michel C'hevalier, who declared himself iu favour of a division of legislative Dower between the two Chambers, and opposed to the monopoly of constitutional power by the Senate. M. Chevalier, in an eloquent and impressive address, pointed Tepeatedly to the examples of England and of the United States as instances of the success of parliamentary government. What progress, he explained, had not England made in the last century in agriculture, in science, in arts, and in letters, and to-day she was founding empires that another half-century would see rivalling those of Europe. Eighty years ago the United States had barely 4,000,000 of inhabitants. To-day No iv York tanks next to Paris and London. All this was due to that system of political liberty which England possessed, but which she had been forced to fight for, work for, conquer by degrees, as France was doing now. In an eloquent peroration, M. Chevalier warned his hearers that they might clog the movement, but they could not arrest it, and that notwithstanding the opposition of the Ministerof the Interior, two years would not pass before the system of Parliamentary government was proposed in that Chamber for France. I have no space for reference to the addresses of M. Boujean and M. de la Guerroniere, who succeeded M. Chevalier in the debate. The Emperor has improved so much that there will soon be little occasion to comments on his health. The consul- tations of the doctors, which have been held twice a day, will shortly he discontinued altogether. The Empress and the Prince Imperial are expected to arrive at St. Cloud to-night. The Empress appears to have suffered from fatigue during the latter portion of her journey. She met with a warm welcome at Chambery, and has certainly no cause to complain of the manner in which she has been treated wherever she has been. Marshal Prim, not being able to see the Emperor, has paid a visit to Prince Napoleon. He complained that it was most difficult to find a king for Spain, and discussed the prospects of the Duke of Genoa's candidature. It is believed that the Marshal will have Jan audience of the Emperor on his return from Vichy. Ills visit to France will have no political significance. An inquiry is to be instituted at Berlin with respect to the false accounts that were given of the health of the Emperor Napoleon. The bad news produced so great a sensation in the town that the king's carriage could not proceed on account of the crowds which collected in the neighbourhood of the Bourse. I hear that the Empress expressed her thanks to the representatives of the Paris press who accompanied the Imperial party, for the admirable accounts which they sent to their respective journals. It seems that her Majesty took great interest in these descriptions of her journey, and that her maid of honour read them to her in succession as they appeared. The cattle disease in West Prussia is diminishing so rapidly that the authorities at Marienwerder have authorised the reopening of the markets in the present week on the right bank of the Vistula, and it is expected that all the precautionary measures, which, of course restricted trade and intercourse, will soon be recalled. In East Prussia filo pestilence has given way so much that the highest civil and military authorities of the Province do not hesitate to recommend that the great military manoeuvres be held there in th e course of this month, as had been previously arranged. The church furniture and appliances in some of the churches in the Cumberland lake district are apparently of a wry primitive character. It transpired in Carlisle Cerisi9- tcny Court the other day that in _Lorton parish church, in the picturesque vale of Lorton, well known to the tourist, the plate upon whick the communion bread child's h a lf was put was a penny tin Plate ; the chalice was a pewter jug only tit for a beer-house, and might be identified as one of the same kind, and the cup was a child's drinking cup, and was as thin as an e gg E h ell, and would contain about a quarter of a pint. Tho church is now about to be repaired and renovated, and these curious specimens of communion plate will In replugecl by a Nam aorvice. THE SUN, _LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING,- SEPTEMBER 4, 1E69.

The great fire has not taken place without the sacrifice of life. The great iron girder of the ware house, which supported the entire front of the build ing, this morning at half-past 5 fell to the ground with x terrilic crash, burying beneath it one un fortunate man named John Evans. The foreman and others at once set to work to rescue the un fortunate man, and when he was recovered h's injuries were so great that he lived but two hours after. Another man, whose name is unknown, un fortunately, in passing over the smouldering ruins this morning, stepped upon a large tank of vitriol, and before he could be rescued from his terrible position he was burned in such a shocking manner that his recovery is very doubtful. One of the firemen, named Beer, belonging to the Farringdon street station also received some injury from the falling of a large mass of stone. lie was carried insensible from the scene of the conflagration, and surgical assistance at once procured. The scene now presented by this once busy manufactory, which gave employment to a vast number of hanth, is now one of utter desolation ; the walls, such as are standing, are all in the most dangerous condi tion, and not the sligtest vestige of timber is in an :upright position.

In reference to the story of Lard Byron's life, published in 211aciallan's Magazine, Alr. .Percy Boyd writes in the Evening Mail:— " Sir,—The nature of the misunderstanding which led ultimately to a separation between Lord and Lady Byron is well known to many persons still living, myself among the number. I was informed of it some years ago by Mr. W. A. Mackinnon, formerly ALP. for Rye, then the father of the Hens° of Commons. He had it from Mr. Thomas Campbell, author of " The Pleasures of Hope." It is probably within the knowledge of Sir Percy Shelley and Captain Medwin. I can only say that no kind of moral guilt or depravity, on the part of Lord Byron, was involved in the matter, but an amount of eccen tricity which undoubtedly justified his wife in de manding a separation. There is, therefore, I ven ture to say, no foundation whatever for the state ment now put forth by Mrs. Beecher Stowe that Lord Byron was carrying on an adulterous intrigue with a near relation, which was detected, &c. He was in pecuniary difficulties when his wife left him. There were executions both in Newstead Abbey and his London residence. To his then situation he alludes in a canto of 'Don Juan :'— " Poor fellow ! It was a trjing moment that which found him Seated alone beside his desolate hearth His household goods all shivered round him.' The proceeds of the sale of the Newstead property, bought by Colonel Wildman for £15,000, were applied in payment of his debts, and not his wife's fortune, which was settled on herself (vide letter 220, Moore's Ed.) I believe both these statements of Mrs. Beecher Stowe are equally untrue. They emanate, probably, from a desire on her part to make literary capital out of her acquaintance with the widow of au illustrious European poet, who was also a peer ; for the Americans, like all true Re publicans, adulate hereditary rank. •e Is it po.tsible that Lady Byro.), a persol of the most refined and fastidious ttsto, having kept her lips clused for more than forty years, should select the blackening her husband's fame a vulgar and garrulous Yankee? And with what object ? To neutralise the pernicious iullaence of a cheap edi tion. Why, there have been fifty editions of Byron's works since his death. I knew lady Byron in her later life. She was surrounded by her own friends, and was remarkable for her quiet and reserved disposition, as well as for her many acts of unostentatious charity. She was about the most unlikely person in the world to have touched on such a subject to a com parative stranger. I never heard her speak of this illustrious man in any other than terms of respect and admiration. She was never, I believe, known to speak of him otherwise. She was as proud of his fame as any woman could be. I can only add the expression of my hope—that this statement of Mrs. Beecher Stowe, which I believe to be a monstrous calumny, will soon be disproved. The grave of Lord Byron, when I last saw it, was neglected by his countrymen and covered with weeds, but I trust this cloud, coming from the west, will not be allowed to dim the splendour of his fame." MARKET S- 2 1118 DAY • LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. Sept, 4.—Sales probably 6,000 bales. The market dull. The tight men who were arrested ou suspicion of their having been coteerned in the murder of Mr. flouter, a Mayo farmer, last Sunday night, have Leon liberated. Mr. J. Moyr Smith, the artist, and Captain Bertrand Payne are now in Paris, collecting materials for an illustrated work which is to appear in London at Christ mac, and which will embody a serio-comic rendering of the tourists' experience of the gay capital of France."— Galloon/. HARD AS NAILS.—The cry everywhere is that the ground is getting into that condition figuratively styled by pugilists, to denote muscular excellence, as " hard as nails." Now that the harvest is over, no one will be sorry to see a downpour ; still less owners of horses, who can neither train nor run them while this state of things con tinues. GORDIAN' KNOT.—This old horse is being trained for jumping purposes, and from his great speed is likely to make a useful cross-country performer. White, in consequence of hurting himself through the Caroline's dam filly running against a post at Tunbridge on Thursday, was unable to ride at West Drayton. iumus.—This horse, who returned to Matthew Daw son's at Newmarket some time since to bo trained, and was entered in the Cesarewitch, has been scratched for that engagement. Mr. I'Anson's colt by The Cure out of Ellen the Fair was named Benan after winning the Scarborough Handi cap. The colt.was sold at Scarborough to Lord Calthorpe for 300 guineas. Mr. George Mather's salo catalogue, on the 25th inst., will include the stallions Prime Minister, Del Domonio, and Touchwood, 35 brood mares and foals, four yearlings, a two year old, &c. LoitD ROSEBERT.—We ttre informed that it is the inten tion of this nobleman to sell off all his horses in training, and retire from the turf. Ellesmere Races will take place on October 7. The assumed name of Captain Berner has been re gistered. Sutton Park Autumn Meeting will take place on Octo ber 19 and 20. Hermit haa finally retired from tho turf, and been put out of train ing. The filly by tho Marquis out of Littlo Hannah (2 yrs) has been named llostunond. Formosa has been struck out of the Warwick Cup and her other engagements at Warwick. Titulus, after winning a Selling Race at Derby onWed neaday, was sold to Mr. R. Turner for 48 guineas. LADY MARY. —This promising two year old filly by Ad venturer out of Lady Ripon, the property of Mr. John stone, died on Monday last at Middleham, having been in the hospital ever since she ran at Stockton. The following stallions aro already announced for next season :—Lord Lyon (39 guineas) and The Earl (30 guineas), at Neasham; and Lord Clifden (30 guineas), Speculum (15 guineas), and Lucifer (10 soya), at Moor lands, near York. .BmmitucK.—This horse, who started in his racing career under the title of 2ismarck, was re-named Bateman, and further named Hereford, has been again called Bismarck.

(NEWMARKET. —Thursday.:-Goodwin sent Porfurne a steady gallop of a mile by herself. The Present colt, Amaranth colt, and Lanoret galloped about a mile at half speed. Joscp!r Dawson, on his private ground, sunt Cha pel 11. , ya1, Rupert, Cardinal York, and Sphynx a mile and a half. G. Moss sent Tramp, led by Monkshood, about two miles at half sped. Martyrdom repeated the same amount of work as that of yesterlay. Romping Girl gal loped steadily the length of the tan. Blanton, A. Blosi, Gadding, and John Dawson wore here doing steady work. Friday.—G. B:oss, after two canters on the tan, gtiNe Mar tyrdom a steady gallop round the tan. Pericles joined in the last mile. llysliworth on the race-ground side can tered twice, and then went a steady gallop of tiro mile , led by Wellow and Blueskin. ham— Oa Thursday morning HaWthornden was taking walking exercise on the downs, being led about with a rein, without any saddle on his back. This is the first time I have seen him since he left for the North. I thought he looked rather dull, but I never heard him cough or show any signs of a cold. No doubt so much running as he has had of late has made him a little stale, and a rest will do him good. Cap-a-Pie could win the Leamington Stakes if wanted, but I think he will be kept for the Great Yorkshire Handicap at Doncaster. HEDNSFORD.—At Warwick, I am afraid our little Kid- dorminstor is hardly good enough to pull through in the Leamington Stakes with such a big weight, but he is very likely to run into a place. The following have been at work since my last: —Edinburgh, Jenny Mills, Nonsense, colt by Leominster, Masquer, filly by Lifeboat, Airigill, Panada, Sundow, Arran, Gordian Knot (who is being schooled for hurdle-racing), Kean, Miss Banks, Pantaloon, lon (I never saw lon look better), Ladybird, W hinyard (the latter is in the 'Wolter at Warwick, and will run well), Sidedruin, Wynnstay, Award, Windrush, cilt by Adveu- turer, Surprise, Vex, lincas, Wakefield, Flyaway colt, Mathilde, Bon Chevalier, Ambition, and several others. EPSOM.—On Tuesday, at Warwick, Cecil is engaged in the Leamington Stakes, but I ,shall not recommend him this journey. Prince Henry is in the Castle Park Stakes, but Ido not fancy him. He is also in the 5 sous Sweep stakes on Wednesday, but Braemar will beat him. At Abingdon we have Chawbacon and Manse in the Trial Stakes, and if the former runs ho is sure to win. Manse is in the Craven Handicap, and Referee in the Maiden Two Year Old Stakes, but they have no chance. I have no fancy for Referee in the Nursery Plato. Tim Weaver. Sparkle, and Referee are iu the Abingdon Stakes, but Stockhausen is sure to lower their colours. Venus was bought for Mr C. Head at Tunbridge on Thursday. The same gentleman also gave £lO for the clai►n of Phantom, and both horses aro at Dover, under the care of Sher wood. STOCKBRIDGE.—On Thursday Stanhope led _ Mount Pleasant, Dione, Lord Chancellor, Helen Macgregor, Alice, and Nina about a mile and a quarter at a good pace. Glenlyon led Q. E. D. filly, Roxana, Lucy Bertram, and Magdala the same distance at a good pace. To-day (Fri day) the same lot were out again, with the addition of Red Rice and Lady Somerset silly, who, with Monerieff, did only walking exercise. The others all did two good steady canters of about a mile along the valley, where the ground is better going than on any other part, as almost all over the downs are getting si.) hard that they seem afraid to do any work at all. Demidoff and Yule Cako colt cantered once only. Torn Day's lot wore out, but did only walking exercise. KINGSCLERE.—On Wednesday all the horses cantered for some time in the hollow, and then Ambitious led The Palmer and Pere Gomez at his best pace a mile and three- quarters, the two latter pulling double, and both going well within themselves. Rosicrucian led Morna at a clipping pace rather over a mile. Lictor led Madame Eglentine filly, Salamis, Blue Stocking, and Waif a nice gallop of a mile and a quarter. Mrs Quickly colt followed gently. This colt was not run as a two-yr-old, being on so large a scale that he is now 17 hands high. Shortly after, Ambitious, with a long lead of The Palmer and Pero Gomez, came on at his best for a mile and a half, where he was beaten, the others going on by themselves at a clipping pace nearly two miles, both pulling up sound and well. The more work these two do, the better they appear to go, Pero Gomez in particular. All throe were Low joined by Blue Gown and Siderolite, and had over an hour's good walking exercise. " Pero" and The Palmer appeared none the worse for their severe morning's work. Chaloner, French, and Butler have been ridingat Baden- Baden, in fulfilment of engagements. CONSTERNATION.—This - colt was scratched for all en gagements in 1869, including the St. Leger, on August 25, at 2.40 p.m. LICHFIELD RACES.—The County Plate, Tamworl I) Plate, Lichfield Cap, Nursery, and Welter Cup close on 'Tuesday next. MATELA. —Lord Rosebery sold this filly at Scarborough for 17 guineas to Captain Machell, who has re-named her Briii,b Sportswoman. Examiner, after winning the County Member's Handi cap at Yarmouth on Wednesday, was sold by auction to Mr. Holland for 71 guineas. EXCLUSIVE, VERY IMPORTANT, RARE, AND 'VALUABLE are the properties of Lamplougu's Pyretic Saline, curing the worst headaches, bickness, skin, or biliary affections.
