The sum of £15,000 in sovereigns from Alex andria was taken to the Bank yesterday. In consequence of the amount of bills held back during the past day or two in expectation of a re duction of the rate there was an increased demand for discount this morning both at the Bank and in the open market. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. Livesey and Thorpe, cotton brokers, at Liverpool, with an establishment also at, Manchester. They occupied a high position, and their liabilities are probably large, The event, which is attributed to the recent numerous failures among cotton spin ners, has created surprise and anxiety, but they state they will be able, with time, to pay every one in full. The failure has also been announced of Messrs. Felix, Leach, and Co., cottonspinners and manufac turers, Enfield Mills, near Accrington, and a meet ing of their creditors will be held next week. They enjoyed fair credit and an average extent of trade. At a meeting of Mexican bondholders yesterday, Mr. 11. 13. Sheridan, M.P., in the chair, resolutions Were adopted approving the form of memorial pre- Pared by the committee for presentation to the Foreign-office, and also of the intention of a chair- Man to call the attention of the llouse of Commons to the subject. At the close thanks were voted to the chairman and committee, Mr. Perry, the agent in Mexico, and Mr. Holmes, the London secretary. The movers and seconders of the resolutions were Admiral Sir Provo Wallis, and Messrs. C. M'Gazel, L'dward Wright, J. Gerstenberg, and R. Hodgson. Th e Egyptian Commercial and Trading Com pany (Limited) have announced a further return of 4 a. per share, payable on the 22d inst. The London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company have announced that they will make a Payment on account of interest for the half-year ending June 30, at the rate of 10 per cent. per 4unum. The Uni:ed Kingdom Electric Telegraph Com pany yesterday announced the opening of the new direct submarine cable, via Denmark and the Baltic, to Russia. This route is stated to be also available for messages to India, China, Australia, Persia, &c. A‘iditional submarine cables to Norway and Russia, via Sweden, in connexion wirh the same company, will be laid and opened during the present mouth, thus affording direct duplicate submarine com►nu bications with those countries. The directors of the London and Provincial I \laritte Insurance Company have resolved to make a payment t) the shareholders on account of inte rest for the half-year ending the 30th inst., at the tate of 10 per cent. per annum. A memorandum from the secretary of the Egyp tian Commercial and Trading Company (Limited) t iaYs:—" Under the powers conferred upon them by the special resolution of the 2d and 16th November l ast, the directors of this company have resolved upon making a further return of 4s. per share upon the paid-up capital of the company to all share holders registered on the 12th inst.

No certain information has been received with respect to the liquidation, but the it apression is that it will not be unfavourable. r ' t he premises of the house were burnt down some Years ago, and were rebuilt at a cost of upwards of 10 0,000. The London, Chatham, and Dover Railway traffic return, including the Metropolitan Extension had branches, show this week a decrease of £1,043, compared with the corresponding period of last year; t he Metropolitan Extension, separately, a decrease (14 £4Bl ; the North Eastern, a decrease of £740 ; th e Lancashire and Yorkshire, a decrease of £23 ,873 ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin colnshire, a decrease of £3,395. The second ordinary general meeting of the Ebbw Vale Steel, Iron, and Coal Company (Limited) will be held on the 25th inst. An extraordinary meeting of the London and Australian Agency Corporation is convened for the 21st inst., for the purpose of altering the articles of association.

We strongly suspect that the Oxford Commemoration is a thing of the past, so far as the conferring of degrees in the Sheldonian Theatre is concerned. Although no cele brities were honoured with degrees, and thus one cause of contention was taken away, the undergraduates were more uproarious than ever. For three-quarters of an hour a bachelor who had adorned himself with a green tie was shouted at until he left the building. The gallery then turned its attention to the ladies. The Times thus describes the saturnalia :—" Occasional outbursts of gallantry on the entrance of ladies to the semicircle had chequered the previous time of dreary row' with gleams of a better spirit. The ' Ladies in yellow,' in green,' in blue,' &c., had from time to time been given and cheered. Now, however, this necessary portion of the proceedings was taken thoroughly in hand, and treated with the habitual exhaustiveness. When varieties of colour failed, other categories were resorted to, and tribute due was paid to Pretty faces,' to the ' Girls of the period,' to the Ladies engaged,' the Ladies - un attached,' the Chaperones,' the ' Ladies in hats,' the Ladies in spectacles,' the Ladies that wear their own hair' (prolonged cheering), and All the ladies,' Political cries followed. Lord Derby was cheered heartily and repeat edly, as were Mr. Gathorne Hardy,Sir Roun dell Palmer,and the Bishop of Oxford. A storm of applause followed the cry of The House of Lords.' The names of Mr. Glad stone and Mr. Disraeli provoked a contest of applause and hisses. Some good cheers were given for ' Bob Lowe,' and some hearty groans for John Bright.' Dr. Pusey was repeatedly cheered. Keble College,' Keble College Eight," The 'Varsity Four,' `The American Four,' were among cries which struck us as new. Otherwise no par ticular gift of invention was discernible, the staple cries producing generally the accustomed amount of approbation or disapprobation. At a little before eleven the great gates opposite the Divinity School were thrown open, and the procession entered—a procession less august than any which we ever remember to have presented itself on the occasion. Almost the only unfamiliar personage was Bishop Claughton (Colombo), whom few had seen since he quitted the university about thirty years ago. The re mainder consisted of the Heads of Houses, the Proctors, the Registrar, and afew otherresident and non-resident doctors. The Vice-Chancellor opened the proceedings in tolerable quiet, but the delivery of the Crewian Oration by the Public Orator was the signal for the renewal of disturb. ance ; the speaker was interrupted by a runningfire of ques tions and remarks, which were more witty than compli mentary, and very little of his speech reached any other ears than his own. When he finally sat down the Vice-Chan cellor rose, and having with great difficulty obtained silence, announced that if the proceedings were interrupted any more the Encxnia would be abruptly closed. The recitation of the prizes (there being no honorary degrees) then commenced ; but very little could be beard of any except the Newdigate, which was listened to with tolerable attention, and interrupted less than usual. The series of recitations approached completion, when attention was unfortunately attracted to a 'white hat,' held, though not worn, by a gentleman in the area. The Undergraduate is afflicted by a disease which, for want of a better name, we may term Pike). albo-phobia.' At the sight of a hat of the obnoxious hue he foams, he shrieks ; he is no longer master of his actions. The solemn warning had been given by the Vice-Chan cellor ; the warning was understood to imply a probability, at least, of the abolition of Commemoration for all time to come--a terrible consequence this, which those present would one might have thought, fully appreciate ; but a ll , was in vain. With the hatred white hat' before their eyes the infuriated mob of undergraduates could do nothing but rave and hoot; and the Vice-Chancellor, unable to obtain attention, rose from his seat, and, accompanied by the doctors, left the building. A volley of groans followed, the exact meaning and object of which appeared uncer. tain. We had thought disapproval of the abrupt termina tion of the proceedings was intended ; but we have since heard that the procuratorial staff was the special object of the demonstration." .31,1RKE7 S-11115 D.II . • LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, THURSDAY, June D. The great apartments of the Tuileries were splendidly lighted up yesterday, and there was great animation in the court of the Palace, and on the Place du Carrousel. A grand ball was being given in honour of the Queen of Holland. The Court was having its measure of enjoyment, and the public of Paris seemed to have determined that it would not be deprived of its share likewise. Whilst the ball was going on at the Tuileries, there were other sounds of revelry by night, in a different part of the capital. The riots, which were inaugurated by the police, have been kept up with infinite spirit by the populace, and I am sorry to say that last night, forty-eight hours after the termination of the polling, the disturbances were more serious than on the previous occasions. The disorderly business began on the Boulevard Mont martre about nine o'clock. A group of about fifty persoos suddenly made its appearance before one of the cafes. This small mob sprang from nobody knows where, and was pro!,a,bly got together for the express purpose of a little mischief. It was soon increased. One voice struck up the "Marseillaise," and then the " riot " commenced. The crowd soon assumed huge pro portions, circulation being extremely difficult, but still no violence was offered. The demonstration was confined to the vigorous rendering of the Republican chant. About ten o'clock, the caf4s, seeing the crowd increase still more, decided to shut up. Their inmates added to the magnitude of the mob, the street got entirely full, and carriages could not pass without the utmost difficulty. The shut ting of the cafes, depriving the Parisians of their favourite beverages, added to their discontent, the shouting and singing became very loud, horseplay followed, and one omnibus was upset, we are told. Then the sergents.de title, who, be it remembered, had this time kept carefully out of sight, made their appearance, followed by troops, the Passages Jouffroy, des Panoramas, and de l'Op6ra were closed, and the troops, occupying all the principal streets, began to summon the people to disperse by the beat of drum. Soon the Boulevard was comparatively deserted. Here, you will perceive, nothing serious hap pened, and yet a great number of arrests were made. At Belleville, as might have been expected, things took a graver turn. That quarter of the city was invaded, about half-past nine, by a flying column of about 200 persons, unknown in the district, and mostly very young. Without any apparent design, this mob waxed in propor tions and in impudence. It sang the "Marseillaise, shouted, and commenced a war against things in general. Imperialism was not the special object of its hos tility, election excitement did not regulate the dispensa tion of its favours. It was simply a mob of roughs, and in ' the absence of the police, it gave way to all sorts of fantasies. Stones were thrown against the fronts of shops, windows were smashed, and some adventurous spirits climbed up and put out the gaslights in all directions. It looked very much as if the police desired to get up a riot. Where there was a mere crowd without disorder, as on Monday night, the sergents excited animosity by unnecessary intervention. Here a disgraceful crowd, whose pranks bad clearly nothing to do with politics, were left in peace, even after they had begun the destruction of property. The ma rauders rapidly progressed in audacity. They knocked down a kiosk, one of the little temple-like buildings in which newspapers are sold, then the ruins were seton fire, and a tremendous blaze created. The firemen were sent for, their arrival being hailed by the famous ditty, " Les rompiers de Nanterre." After ten o'clock our flying column, much augmented, and greatly ex• cited by these signal victories, resumed the march. The red flag was hoisted, and the triumphant army of canaille moved on from the Rue du Faubourg du-Temple to the Rue Folie-Regnault, where a grand attack was made upon a caM, which was sacked. Another house was beleaguered, but the arrival of some troops of the line, with a squadron of cavalry, speedily raised the siege, and the mob was dispersed without trouble. The field of battle presented a serious aspect. The Rue du Faubourg-du-Temple, where the flying column first commencedoperations, was a complete wreck. You will perceive that this, the most destructive of the riots that have occurred in the capital during the week, was wholly the work of a mob of the lowest order. Politics had not the remotest connection with the disturbance. The disgraceful affair was simply the result of the inter ference of the police on Monday. Let the representatives of order and authority keep a watch over the crowd by all means, but undue meddling, particularly at election time, only produces the disorder it is meant to prevent. At the first balloting there were immense, crowds on the central boulevards, but no distur- bances took place. What ground was there, then, to apprehend disorder at the second ballot? The row of Monday was the direct effect of the bad conduct of the police; the riot of yesterday was the further consequence. The Temps says that upwards of 800 arrests have been made in the three days. Unfortunately, this affair at Belleville, though the most serious disturbance in Paris, is surpassed in gravity by the riots at Nantes. From this place the news is undoubtedly bad. I mentioned that some uproar took place there on Monday. These were not of very great moment, but on Tuesday and yesterday the aspect of affairs became very grave indeed. As I said before, these troubles are directly attributable to political causes. The el eetors of Nantes had given their votes for the Liberal, and they found that the offi cial candidate had been returned by the votes of cot ntry tricts, which had been induGed in ilia Nantes circumscrip tion, though by no means belonging tc it. To protest against this unfair proceeding—and the same thing has been done in other parts of Frarce—was a perfectly legitimate proceeding, and the voters did protest. A large number of them assembled, and loudly proclaimed their dissatisfaction at toe manoeuvres of the Government. But this spontar.eons and inoffensive expression of discontent soon &generated into violence. Great crowds assembled on To -selt-i and yesterday, singing the " Marseillaiv," vituperating the official candidates, and exalting M. Gudpin, the Liberal. whom they had not been able to elect. The crow ds were comprised almost entirely of workmen, who had been thin- disappointed. They went to serenade M. Gu4pin, bet ho refused to countenance the disorder, and did not makehis appearance. The mob then went to one of the squares, wbere they lit large fires, which were fed with wood taken from the adjoining property. Window-smashing to a large extent was, of course, included in these festivities. Finally, with evident designs of mischief, the mob moved towards the Prefecture ; but here they were met by a strong force of soldiers and dispersed. Later on in the evening the crowds began to collect again, and there was more stone-throwing and window-breaking. The mob, armed with bars of iron, committed devastation in various parts of the town. But the crowds now were not com posed of working men ; they were lads. They kept up the spirit of the thing, however, admirably; for at four o'clock on Tuesday morning Nantes was still a prey to uproar. Last night the riots recommenced, and two shots were fired on the troops. A proposal was made to burn down the residence of the official candidate, but the police prevented this act of folly. Nantes is now calm. It is stated that the Government intend to intro duce a bill to disfranchise the freemen of Dublin. The writ will, in the meantime, be suspended. At Liverpool, on Wednesday, two men were charged with sending meat unfit for human food to tho Liverpool market. The case having been proved against them, the bench refused to inflict a fine, and committed the defendants to prison for one month each with Lard labour. On "Wednesday a very brief telegram was re ceived in Liverpool, from Bombay, to the effect that the ship Great Northern had been totally wrecked off Bombay, and that 15 of the crew had perished. The Great Northern was of North American build, having been constructed at Mira michi in 1858. She was a wooden vessel of 1,4C2 tons burden, and was owned in Liverpocl by Messrs. Fernie Brothers, the agents of the Merchants' Shipping Company (Limited). The vessel sailed from the Mersey for Bombay on the 12th December, 1868, under the command of Captain Flarty. The accident which happened to a gentleman of Runcorn through his putting his head out of the window of a railway carriage while it was in motion on the London and North-Western Railway has terminated fatally. An inquest has been held on the body. It having been stated that some years ago an engine-driver was killed on the same spot, and it appearing that the bridge across the rails was most un usually narrow, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death," with a recommendation to the London and North- Western company that the attention of their engineer, Mr. V. Worthington (who was present), should be directed to the dangerous state of the bridge. MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—Ever anxious to keep pace with the times, the proprietors of the far-famed Wax-work Exhibition, in Baker-street, have now on view some of the most elaborate and truly magnificent and costly Court dresses, manufactured by the great and popular firms of Paris, that it has ever before been in our power to so fully eulogise as those hich are now to be seen, and every dress is in itself a perfect gem of loveliness, and will well, unquestionably, fully repay a visit to every sight-seer to the exhibition. ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LOND ON.-1 he society will meet on Tuesday, Juno 15, at eisht o'clock precisely, when the following papers will be read :—" On the Stature and Bulk of Man in the British Islands," by Dr. Beddoe, President; "On Civilisation, Wall special reference to the so-called Celtic inhabitants of Ireland," by J.

NEW COURT. THE SIL INSURANCE COMPANY George Peed and alward Jones were indicted for obtaining money by false pretences, and also with conspiring. Mr. Straight prosecuted ; M. Davin and Mr. rLrris defended Reed. The facts of the cage were very complicated, but it appeared that in 1867 the F 1 ieud-in- Need Benefit Society became merged in a society called the Provinci:ll Union Assurance Company, of which a man named Johnson was the principal man, and the defendant (R ed) was represeutel as dis trict agent of the said company; but in 1867 the Provincial Union Assurance Company got into diffi culties, and finally the company was wound up in accordance with the Act of Parliament ; but not withstanding that fact the defendant Reed continued to carry on the business of agent and to receive sub scriptions from some persons who had insured in the Provincial Union although there were no funds to meet the policy when it should become a claim. The office of the prisoner Reed was at 4, Chatham-place, Blackfriars ; but at length the whole of the financial condition of even " the company" became hopeless, and advertiseinents were inserted for a clerk who could find security. Ultimately finding that this dodge would not do, a new company was started under the title of the National Provincial Union Insur ance and Loan Society (Limited), with a capital of £lO,OOO in 10,000 shares of £1 each, and a prospectus was issued giving a list of persons with fashionable addresses as direc tors, but who, in reality, were either butlers or footmen in families at the west end of the town. A person was found simple enough to advance £3OO or £4OO, and with the defendant Reed, who appeared in the prospectus as secretary, attempted to carry on the concern at 4, Chatham-place. The prisoner Jones then came upon the scene, and although he was not so active as-the prisoner Reed in carrying on the " company," yet he had so far taken part in the bubble as to bring himself within the law. The learned gentleman said he should disregard all observations that would be made on his conduct by the counsel defending, about heap ing prejudice on the prisoners, and do all he could to obtain the conviction of the two men at the bar, and thus, to that extent at least, protect the public against the acts of such men of straw as the prisoners. The trial was proceeding when we went to press, DJIEADPUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION. MERTHYR TYDFIL, 1 hur,day. Au explosion occurred at the Ferndale Colliery, iu Glamorganshire, this morning, about half-past 7 o'clock. Between 500 and GOO men were employed in the colliery, which is divided into three districts. The explosion occurred in the Duffryn district, where 120 men were working. The men from other districts escaped unhurt, and many als3 escaped from the Duffryn sid,t. Between GO and 70 are supposed to be killed. At 3 o'clock Messrs. Davis and Sons, the owners, and Mr. Wales, inspector, arrived. The workings ara much damaged, inter fering with the recovery of the bodies. The number of killed bra now been ascertained to be not less than 76, and at 5 o'clock 56 bodies had been brought out. EXTI?.IOIDINARY CIL4RGR OF BIG-131Y AND FRAC ID.—(This Day). At the Mansion House to-day, the person calling him self Major-General Haynes, of the Madras army, was wrought before Mr. Alderman Causton for final examiva- Con, ou the charges of bigamy, perjury, ar:d f►aud. The circumstances of the case will Le fresh in the recol lection of the public. Mr. George Lea is, solicitor, then asked tha magis trate to commit the prisoner upon tho three charges -:pecified. He admitted that £4OO of the monoy to which reference was made at the last examination, had been returned. Mr. Louis Lewis, the prisoner's solicitor, said there was every prospect, with the assistance of his client's friends, that the whole of the money would be returned. The depositions having been read, • Miss Lee, the prosecurix, in reply to Mr. Louis Lewis, said the tuarriage had never been consummated. The prisoner was then formally committed for trial. He reserved his defence. THE NORFOLK POISONING CASE. THIS DAY. BY TELEGRANI. The prisoners, William George Davy and his wife, charged with attempting to poison John Mayes Davy at Swaffham, have been committed for trial. STA 7 E Ol' TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 10.—The market is quiet both in yarns and cloths. Buyers decline to follow the advancing prices which sellers are compelled to demand in consequence of dearer cotton, and con fine their orders to quantities sufficient to cover pressing necessities. Price:, however, continue firm. The suspension was mentioned on the Ex change to-day of an old-established firm of good repute hitherto--Messrs. Livesey and Thorpe. Messrs. Livesey and Thorpe are cloth agents in Manchester, cotton brokers at Liverpool, and are extensive cotton spinners and manufacturers at Blackburn. It appears that the affairs of the firm in Manchester were in a sound state, and that it is the affairs of the Liverpool house that have involved the firm. The liabilities are said to be about £300,000. Messrs. Felix, Leach, and Co., spinners and manufacturers, are also reported as having stopped payment, with lia bilities amounting to £30,000. Both firms are highly respected in the neighbourhood, and until this announcement were supposed to be in a pros perous and wealthy position. BRADFORD, 10th.—A rather firmer tone pervades the wool-market to-day. This arises not from more business being done, but from the firmness of the country markets. Still in the present uncertainty as to business and prices spinners are quite indis posed to operate beyond the most pressing require ments. Purchases are still confined to the best lustre and demi-lustre wools. Prices generally are a shade firmer. There is rather more inquiry in worsted yarns, but t here is no appreciable increase of business. Continental merchants still snake offers, but they are so low that they are seldom accepted. A steady business continues to be done on home account, particularly in lustre and coloured wefts. Prices continue firm. No change can be reported in the piece trade. If anything there is a quieter feeling, though there is no want of confidence. The reduc tion in the Bank rate - of discount has tended in some measure to reassure.

Since the great demand for photographic lenses has diminished, an opportunity has been afforded for applying mechanical power with the greatest success, whereby the cost of these beautiful and most perfect instruments is reduced in price iu some instances to as much as 20 per cent. In fact they are now no dearer than those of the best French or English tu,kers. At the depot Callaghan, 235, New Bond-street, corner of Ounduit-street, the patrons of the Derby may indulge their taste in the possession of a veritable Voigtlalder at comparatively trifling cost. It is superfluous to say the quality is as ever matchless. RACING FIXTURES. JuNE.
