" N Y / 1 K TIL .1J AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE o'CLocK. To-day the Discount Market has been very quiet, and the rates are without the slightest change. A small sum of gold, amounting to £9,000, was received at the Bank of England yesterday. The Wellesley has arrived from Australia with gold to the amount of £90,000. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain firm at 29 31, and the Consolidated Mort gage Bonds at 23 24. On Saturday next there will be a holiday on the Stock Exchange, owing to the review at IVini l blecion. We extract the following from " Rylands' Iron Trade Circular" :—" The manufacturers of the black country had rarely experienced quarter days so discouraging as those of the present week,. At Wolverhampton, on Wednesday, the complaints of the condition of trade were louder and more general than at the commencement of the year, and at Bir- Mingham, on the following day (Thursday), affairs were not much better. The merchants and factors do not hold out much hope of any- immediate im provement, and short time among the artisans of the district is now more general than ever in all the lead ing branches of industry. The continued depression of the Australian demand—on which so many local industries almost wholly depend—is becoming quite serious, and manufacturers engaged for that market are at their wits end as to what to do with their w orkpeople. The South American shippers experi ence a decline in the inquiries from that quarter of the world, which was a couple of months ago so good a customer to this district. The Cape and Continental trades remain quiet, and the home de mand is by no means buoyant. The announcement of the death of Mr. Scholefield, M.P., has been re ceived with unfeigned regret throughout the black country, where he was held in great respect by a large circle of friends." The following report has been presented at the meeting of the London and Westminster Bank : " The directors have to report that, after making Provision for all bad and doubtful debts, paying the income tax, and setting apart £2,000 towards the buildings of the bank, the net profits of the bank for the last half-year amount to £146,065 17s. 2 d- This sum, added to £45,889 4s. 3d., the un appropriated balance of the preceding half-year will amount to £191,955 Is. sd. Out of this amount interest on the Rest or surplus fund at the rate of five per cent. per annum (£12,000) has been added to such fund. The directors now declare a dividend to the shareholders at the rate of six per cent, per annum, and by way of further dividend out Out of profits a bonus of 11 per cent. on the paid-up capital. After these payments are made there will re main £39,95515. 5d., which the directors have appro priated as follows, viz., £B,OOO to the rest, which will t hen amount to £500,000, and the balance, £31,955 18. 5 d., carried to the profit and loss account for the current half-year. The directors will submit reso lutions for increasing the capital of the bank by t he issue of 50,000 new shares of £lOO each, and 11 r allotting the same to the shareholders, and also f or making such alterations in the deed of settlement 48 may be necessary to give effect thereto. The proprietors are aware that on each of the new shares sum of £3O is to be paid, viz., £2O per share in Part payment of the capital, and £lO per share pre mium to be added to the reserve fund. The paid- U P capital will then amount to two millions, and the reserve fund to one million. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris to day, the French Rentes were 68c. 95f. Inanimate.

AN ARTIST CHARGED WITH REFUSING TO BREAK STONES.—George Russell, a young man, described as an artist, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with refusing to break stones at the workhouse of St. George, Hanover square.! Thomas Whetstone, superintendent of labour at St. George's Workhouse, said —Last evening the prisoner brought a ticket he received at the police-station, and I admitted him as a casual. This morning I gave him his breakfast, and afterwards told him to go to the stone-yard and break stones. Ha refused to do so, and on my telling him that if he did not I should have to take him before a magistrate, ho said he did not care for the magistrate more than me. - _ _ _ Prisoner—l had some writing to do to-day, and if I had broken stones I could not have done it. I offered to pick oakum. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did he offer to pick oakum ? Witness—Yes, but if I allowed the people to choose their work I should not got any work done. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)—You will be committed for four days. You must be taught that you are to do what you are ordered and not as you like. SELF-MURDER PREVENTED.—Martin Reynolds, a boot maker, of No. 30, Little Windmill-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following desperate attempt to destroy himself. Alexander Stevens, residingat No. 30, Little Windmill street, said that between 11 and 12 o'clock on the night of the Bth Juno he and a fellow lodger were in bed, when the prisoner came into their room in a very excited state, and behaved in such a manner that his (witness's) fellow lodger became so frightened that he left the room. The prisoner then set to calling out " Police,"and said ho was glad there was only ono person in the room, as he could do what he wanted to do. The prisoner then loft the room, and wont into his own room, fastened the door, and placed some fur niture against it, and made a very great noise. Thinking the prisoner was going to do something wrong he forced open the door and saw the prisoner pressing his stomach against a knife. He immediately sprang upon the prisoner, and prevented his doing further mischief to himself, he having already stabbed himself in the stomach. With assistance he took the prisoner to the hospital, and he had been there ever since. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the witness whether he could assign any cause for the pursuer acting as he had done ? The witness said he believed it was through distress. Mr. Tyrwhitt remarked that the witness would for the rest of his life have the pleasure of remembering that he had saved the life of a fellow creature. Ile considered the best thing he could do would be to remand the prisoner for a week, for if he was in distress he would be as well off at the House of Detention as anywhere else. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY FAITHLESSNESS IN A SERVANT. — Thomas Friend, aged 27, who was described as a looking glass maker, of No. 1, Eastwood-street, Bromley, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing three barrels of beer, two empty casks, one sack, a sovereign, 225. in silver, and an account-book, the money and property of Elias Kemp, the landlord of the Little Wonder beer-shop, Box-street, Devon's-road, Bromley. The prisoner was a general servant to the prosecutor. About three weeks ago Mr. Kemp was convicted by Mr. Paget for supplying malt liquors and havir.g his house open during the prohibited hours on a Sunday morning, and fined 40s. The prosecutor had only half the amount in ; his possession, and sent a messenger to the prisoner to forward 20s. to him to enable him topay the fine. The prisoner refused to do so, and Kemp was committed to prison for 11 days. In the absence of the prosecutor the prisoner carried on a most extraordinary and outrageous system. He kept the beerhouse open the whole of Saturday night, Sunday, and Sunday night, after his master was committed to prison, allowed drunkenness and rioting in the house, refused to admit the police, and was himself continually intoxicated for 12 hours. Three casks of beer were sold by the prisoner, who appropriated the money he received to his own use. He also took possession of the money in the till and the tobacco, received debts of customers, and disposed of everything in the house of which he could make money. When Kemp came out of prison, he was served with six summonses taken out by Mr. Inspector Kerrissey, of the K Division, for violations of the law committed by the prisoner in his absence—his house was closed, and ho was a ruined man. Inspector Kerrissey said he believed the prisoner claimed to be a partner in the business of the Little Wonder. Kemp said the prisoner was no partner at all, but his servant, and that he could bring plenty of witnesses to substantiate the statement he had made. Mr. Paget said it was an unfortunate thing for the pro secutor that he went to prison, as the case against him must have. been a rather serious one, or he should not have fined him 40s. The prisoner said in the fight that took place in the Little Wonder he was ill-used, and his teeth knocked out Mr. Paget said that was owing to the beer house being kept open for all corners the whole of one Saturday night, Sunday, and Sunday night. It was a most disgraceful and outrageous proceeding, and a gross violation of the law. Ho should remand the prisoner on the charge of felony. Th© Prisoner—Will you take bail ? Mr. Paget—No bail. Mr. Inspector Kerressey asked the magistrate if he would take the six summonses against Kemp ? Mr. Paget—l understand that while Kemp was in pri son the man in charge of the place committed all those offences. Kemp could not be very well guilty of these breaches of the law while ho was in confinement. After some further conversation the inspector did not press for a hearing, and it was understood that the sum monses would stand over until after the case of felony was disposed of, ox would not be pressed. Baron de Burger, late Lieutenant Civil in Lom bardy under the Austrian administration, has arrived at Milan, to concert with Count Cibrario as to the claims of the Italian Government relative to certain objects which were, it is declared, unduly removed from Venice to Aus tria during the war of last year. _ _ ENIIAGED BEES.—A:few days since a hive of bees was being conveyed through the High-street at Win chester, in a South-Western delivery cart, when the cover of the hive was by accident shifted. The bees in escaping became enraged and stung the driver of the cart, and he, being enraged in turn, turned the hive into the street where the bees stung a number of passers by, who fled in all directions. The Provincia of Turin, of the 12th, states that there were five cholera cases in that city on the previous day, three of which proved fatal.

Sales probably 10,000 bales. Official statements published by the Zollverein authorities show that by the reduction of the duties in the Treaty of the 2d of August, 1862, a notable increase had taken place in the consumption of French wines in 1865 and 1866 ; from 118,324 quintals (about nino gallons each) in 1864 it had risen to 170,410 iu 1865, and 197,360 in 1866. As the reduced duty of 15f. the quintal only came into operation since July 1, 1865, and as 1866 was not a year favourable to commerce it may be expected that a still further increase may arise. The National Rifle Association. WIMBLEDON COMMON, Tuesday Evening. We have had a hurricane of wind and torrents of rain to-day, with mud and slush most copiously dif fused over the ground. Long planks have been put down to the approaches to the different tents. Dur ing the luncheon hour the rain fell so heavily that in . a short time a considerable portion of the surface of the common was flooded with water, and although, as is customary on this day, there were several car riages filled with company on the ground, the in mates, who had come for the purpose of witnessing the competition by the public schools for the Ash burton Shield, were compelled in many instances to remain within them, and leave their curiosity un gratified. The second stage of the Queen's Prize : —This stage, as has already been stated, consists of three ranges of 800, 900; and 1,000 yards, and is limited to the GO who stood highest in score in the first stage, or the aggregate scores of 20.), 500, and GOO yards. The one who is fortunate to make the highest aggregate score of 800, 900, and 1,000 yards becomes the possessor of the Queen's Prize of £250 and the gold medal and gold badge of the association. The termination of this contest is always looked to with great in terest, and draws together a large party ; but to-day during the shooting at the two first ranges there was scarcely any one present at the firing point except those immediately concerned. A disagreement appears to have arisen with re spect to those who have been selected as the eight to represent Ireland in shooting for the Elcho Challenge Shield. This afternoon the following protest was served upon the council in reference to it Wimbledon Camp, July 16.—We, the undersigned, fluty qualified representatives of Ireland in the International Rifle contest, hereby protest against the selection of the members of the Irish team for the Elcho Challenge Shield competition 1867. We protest also against the team, as at present constituted, being considered the representative team of Ireland, as tho selection is at once informal, pre judicial, and partial. The Marquis of Donegal is captain of the Irish International Eight, and consequently has the right of selecting the team, which right we respectfully call upon hislordship to exercise.—John M'Xenna, private 3d Ayr R.V. ; William Smyth, private, Ist L.R.V., and Clydesdale; William M'Coyd, private, 3d Ayr, and Ulster; Thomas R. Wakington, Ulster; John Rogers, private, 3d Ayr R.V.; John Hardy, captain, 12th Ayr R.V. This subject will, no doubt, be fully investigated, as it is exceedingly desirable that Ireland should be represented by the best men in the contest. A new breech-loading rifle was this day used at the 200 yards range for the Duke of Cambridge's prize. It is called the " Ross rifle," and it is one of the most simple and strongly secured breech-loaders seen on the ground, and lays claim to many ad vantages. The shoe or open part of the breech is fiat, which prevents all wet and dirt from interfer ing with the working of it. The breech block is securely fastened, and this contains the lock, which is also of very simple construction. There are only three movements in loading, the old cartridge case being thrown out by the action of opening the breech. It ought to be mentioned that there is a bolt or indicator which when placed in position will not allow the rifle to be fired, and can be seen by an officer at some distance. The sixty competitors who were to shoot for the Queen's Prize were divided into six squads, ten in each squad, and six targets were appropriated to them. The business of the day began soon after 9 o'clock, at 800 yards, and amidst a complete hurri cane of wind and rain. Amongst the first reported to have made a high score was Captain Wright, of the 30th Cheshire, w ho made 18 poi n t s a t 800 an d 21 at 900 yards. A very good score was also made by Private Bidder, of the Inns of Court, who made 21 at 800 and 21 at 900 yards. The great trial of skill rested, however, on the shooting that was to be made at the long range of 1,000 yards. Mr. E. Ross,:of the London Scottish, was at one time almost looked upon as very likely to become the possessor of the Queen's Prize for the second time, having done very well at 800 and 900 yards, but at the 1,000, in consequence of the strong wind that was blowing across the range, he failed to maintain what he had done before, and for some time the contest seemed to rest entirely between Captain Wright and Sergeant Lane. At the 1,000 yards range the contest was watched with the greatest anxiety, and although the way to the different firing points was often through pools of water that did not prevent numerous visitors from making their way to 'them. 'At 900 yards Edward Ross, of the London Scottish, had a slight lead, but at the 1,000 a new and unex pected opponent appeared in Sergeant Lane, of the Ist Gloucester (Bristol), who at 800 yards had made 21 points, and 24 at 900, making together 45. This was a good foundation, on which he commenced his shooting at the 1,000 yards. His first shot was a centre, which was follow e d up b y ano th er, t h en an outer. The light now became glaring, and he so miscalculated his distance that he twice missed the target, bat his next two shots were outers, which gave him a total at this range of 12, and a gross total of 57. Captain Wright, who had made a total of 39 at the two ranges of 800 and 900 yards, was the only competitor at the 1,000 yards that during the latter part of it was to be feared. As it was he made 15 points at the 1,000 yards, the highest number made by any one, but his score in the lower ranges being inferior to those of Sergeant Lane he lost the p r i ze. S ergeant L ane ' s total score was.s7, and C a pt a i n W r i g h t ' s 54 ; and there fore the former was d ec l ared to b e t h e w i nn er of the Queen's Prize. A s soon as th i s b ecame kno w n some of Sergeant L ane ' s fr i ends moun t e d hi m u po n triumph, their shoulders o u t l h d e e r sb band d d o f the carried Victorianh n i playing, g See e camp in the conquering hero comes." The prize was won last year by Private Cameron, 6th Inverness, by 69 marks, and there were then 16 others who made scores above 57, but there was then a great diffe rence in the state of the weather, and it is generally considered that as the greater part of the shooting to-day took place in a storm, the scores now made will bear comparison with any former period. Ser geant Bingham, also a member of the Ist Gloucester (Bristol), in 1861 tied Sergeant Jopling for the Queen's Prize, they having made 18 points each in the second stage, but then, according to the old sys tem of scoring, the ties were decided by the shooting in the first stage. In this Mr. Jopling had made 20, and Mr. Bingham 19, so that gave Mr. Jopling the prize. The next important competition was for the Ash burton Challenge Shield, given by the late Lord Ashburton for annual competition by the public schools having enrolled or uuenrolled volunteer corps ; eleven competitors from each school. The shield is awarded to the eleven making the highest aggregate score, and held by the school until the next annual prize meeting of the National Rifle As sociation. Two shots each at 200 and 50 yards. The following schools were represented :—Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester, Cheltenham, Marl borough, and Rossall. After a very spirited con test the shield was won by Harrow by 244 marks, beating the next highest (Rugby) by four marks only. They made 240. It was last year won by Harrow by 256 marks. Eton was then the next highest, and made 233 marks. This is the third year in succession this prize has been won by Harrow. Arising out of this competition always follows a second one for a cup given annually by Earl Spen cer, K.G., to be competed for by the best shot in each of the elevens iu the first stage, and to become the absolute property of the winner of it. Seven shots each at 500 yards. This prize was won by the Cheltenham boy (Collier) by 22 marks. Jones, of llarrow, won it last year. Another new prize commenced to be shot for to day was called " The Rifle Oaks," a sweepstakes, with a certain amount deducted for the benefit of the association. The amount is divided into three prizes. Five shots each at 500 yards. This contest will be continued all to-morrow. Mr. R. Bird, of the South Middlesex, who the other day, in shooting with a Joslin rifle at 500 yards, and firing for the Duke of Cambridge's prize with military breech-loaders, made 93, this day at 200 yards scored 80 in 31 shots with the same weapon. llis numbers were 7 and 5 outers. bull's-eyes, 14 cen tres, It was omitted to be stated in the proper place that Corporal Innes, of the Ist Banff, made 54 points for the Queen's Prize at the second stage, the same score as was made by Capt. Wright. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, IJuly 16.—The yarn and cloth market is extremely flat, and prices continue slowly to decline, but there has been some little business doing at very low prices. Some few buyers have been induced to operate, believing it-probable that prices have nearly touched the minimum for a time. Upon the whole, however, there is very little life in this branch of the market, and it closes tamely. For home trade yarns, also, the market has been quiet, but prices, though id. p 'r lb. lower than o❑ Friday, according to sellers, and reported id. to id. lower by buyers, have hardly been so irregular as they were last week. Most counts of these yarns have been easier to buy to-Jay, but sellers think they have observed indications of a greater disposi tion to buy. After so long a period of decline, in deed, it would be strange if speculators, even if bona jide buyers continue to hold aloof, should not be tempted to interfere. hitherto it has been one of the characteristic signs of hopeless and unmiti gated depression that this class of operators have been so quiet. We have still to report an absence of business in cloths. Unfavourable accounts from India induce shippers to that important market to act with unusual timidity. The only offers jthey have ventured to make to-day have mostly been. at still lower rates than buyers, though quoting easier terms than last week, aro willing, to accept. Some people think there has been rather more inquiry for shirtings, but the opinion is not generally borne out, and manufacturers coming out of contract have found themselves unable to book orders at the prices which are offered. Sellers have offered their cloth at a decided decline on the quotations of last Tuesday, but even at this decline the market closes with but few operations. The quotations referred to ate 3d. per piece lower on 61b. and 71b. 32-inch Madapollams, and Gd. less on 91b. and 101 b. 36-inch printing cloth ; 3d. per piece lower on 51b. 4oz. to 91b. 39-inch shirtings; 9d. per piece on 91b. 10oz. ditto ; and Gd. per piece lower ou 91b., 101 b., 111 b., and 121 b. 45-inch and 50-inch shirtings ; and 3d. per piece down on long cloths and T cloths, while jaconcts have been moderately steady. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of cloth:— " Prices have gradually declined during the week, and buyers have been still further deterred from ope rating by the recent unfavourable accounts from India. To-day we have to notice a continued ab sence of demand, and as transactions can only be induced by further concessions in price, we close with a very limited business. CARDIFF, 15th.—Steam coal proprietors continue to complain of the scarcity of orders, and there is a considerable degree of slackness evinced in the foreign demand. The decrease is mainly in the pur chases of continental buyers, who are particularly cautious in not overstocking themselves. The mail companies, as remarked last week, are tolerably fair customers. The efforts to increase the rail traffic to Birkenhead are likely to affect the shipments at this port to a slight extent. Iron ore is being im ported iu considerable quantities. The reports from the iron works are somewhat more satisfactory, and it is evident that the trade has entered upon a more hopeful period. Additional rail orders are looked forward to which, if secured for this district, will keep the mills in good employ. Last month the exports reached nearly 11,000 tons. For tin plates cokes are selling better, and quotations are firmer. LEEDS, 16th.—There is nothing of importance to notice in the woollen cloth trade here since our Sa turday's report. There is more doing at both the home trade and the shipping warehouses, but a good deal of the goods despatched have been previously ordered of the manufacturers, so that the public markets have not been so much influenced by the improvement in the trade which has gradually shown itself during the past fortnight or three weeks. To day's markets in the cloth halls have ben pretty well attended by buyers, who purchased to a fair extent, but not much briskness. Indeed, steadiness in the demand rather than great activity is the char acteristic of the present condition of trade. Goods, both in coatings and trouserings, suited for the colder season of the year, command most attention than most classes of buyers, but the demand for ordinary plain cloths, including superfine blacks, is not materially below what is usual at this period of the year. Tweeds continue to meet ready sale, espe cially the better qualities, and the manufacturers of such goods are well employed. The prices of wools, woollen yarns, and cloths are alike firm, but the tendency at present is not upward. MARKETS.--This day. MARK LANE. The show of home-grown grain of every description at our market to-day was very limited, while the arrivals of foreign to hand were on a most extreme scale. The quality of the samples was generally good, and with a fair de mand for both rod and white qualities ; the trade for Eng lish ruled firm, and Monday's advance in the quotations was well supported. There was rather more demand for foreign wheat, but Monday's values being demanded sales progressed but slowly. Floating cargoes of grain were little inquired for, but we have no further change to report in the quotations. Tho supply of barley was inconsiderable, but previous value was fully maintained. The demand, however, was in retail. The malt trade was dull, but without animation. The supply was somewhat limited. The show of oats was very extensive, the imports up to date having amounted to upwards of 45,000 quarters. Sales progressed slowly on rather easier terms. Beans and peas met a slow inquiry at late rates. Cakes have teen rather more active, but agricultural seeds aro in little request. In flour there is vOry little doing, yet prices have been supported.

The weather in the early part of the morning gave indication of a fine day, although it was rather squally at sea. The Sultan was most enthusiasti cally received. Shortly after noon the weather changed, the rain commenced falling and the sea became anything but pleasant for landsmen. A strong sou'wester is blowing, and all now on shore is dull and uncom fortable. The fleet has become enveloped by mist and rain, and to such an extont that it cannot be seen from the shore. The review has, however, been a complete suc cess, and the Sultan has expressed his gratification at this grand display. SPORTING INTEL LIGENCE—This Day NOTTINGHAM RACES—Tim DAY.

The most important event to be decided is the Burghley Handicap, for which Bees wing is now scratched, which leaves me with two of those I selected on Monday to do battle for me, viz., Knight of the Crescent and Pintail, and I have no reason to alter the choice I then made, now that Beeswing is out of the way. The judge, 1 have no doubt, will place KNIGHT of the CRESCENT 1 and Pintail or Bradamante I expect to find close up with the winner. The other events I have already referred to. A " Screwed" correspondent in a letter writes to inform me that Knight of the Crescent was not entered in the Nottingham Handicap. Any gentle man accustomed to back horses could at a glance have seen that it was simply an error of the printer in substituting Knight of the Crescent for Knight Errant. The Beadle, the horse I selected to fur nish the winner, only managed to get second, but I do not think it bad form to get first last week with Challenge in the Liverpool Handicap, and second with The Beadle in the Nottingham. When " The Freshman" does not name the winner in any of the large handicaps, he does not the next day, like many other sporting writers, indulge in the use d - l ess lamentation that the prophets ar e all " floore to a man"—and so it was with the Nottingham Handicap.

To those who may not binclined to claim rela tionship with the gorilla or chimpanzee, the follow ing summary of a paper recently read to the Academy of Sciences by M. Quatrefages may be of some interest. The learned Academician had on that occasion to present a work, by M. Vogt, on " Microcephali, or l‘lonkey-men," the author meaning thereby human beings in whom the brain is exceedingly small. The cases exa mined by him being exclusively confined to specimens that have actually lived, or that were still living at the time he was engaged in his researches, are very rare. Those quoted from authors by M. Vogt do not exceed 40; his own inquiries only enabled him to find ten instances of inicrocephalism, comprising men, women, and chil dren. After the requisite anatomical descriptions he proceeds to examine the cause of these abnormal growths, and in so doing considers them to be owing to a tendency to return to the original formation of the human species. To this view M. Quatrefages does not subscribe, since it leads to the conclusion hat man may have descended from the monkey ; and to refute it he points to the fact specially remarked on by various physiologists, viz., that man is a walker, while the monkey is emu tially a climber. In these two groups the whole locomotive apparatus is therefore strikingly dif ferent : the monkey can walk, but prefers climbing ; man can climb, but prefers walking. The labours of Duvernoy on the gorilla, and of Gratiolet and Alix on the chimpanzee, show that the monkey type, as it approaches to perfection, developer the climbing faculty more and more ; and that the contrary is the case with the human typo. M. Quatrefages thenpro ceeds to explain that even if Darwin's theory of deri vation be adopted, the phenomena in question should, according to that theory, be read differently. We know a large number of terms of the Simian series. We see it ramified into secondary series, all equally tending towards the anthropomorphous type, and constituting, not the members of a same family, but the superior corresponding terms of three distinct ones. Notwithstanding the secondary modifications introduced by improvements of the same nature, the orang-outang, gorilla, and chimpanzee, still fundamentally remain monkeys, that is, climbers; while man constantly preserves his distinctive qua lity of being a walker. FRENCH TRADE. The Customs' Department has just published the returns of French foreign commerce during the last five months of the year. The tables, up to the 30th April, showed a diminution of 173 millions in the exports, and an increase of 117 in the impor Of ts ! as compared with the corresponding period 1866. The following month was not favourable to French manufactures and commerce, the total 31st of May amou ntin g to 1,303 millions. O . f the he f t of the imports for t he five months ending t su m the imports of breadstuffs and other articles o food, necessitated b y the insufficiency .of the harvest, the sin the for 258 year. millions, With bei respect ng 93 mor e than in preceding to the imports of raw material, there is no room, for congratulation, when they are compared with the amount of manufactured goods entered from foreign countries. But it is in the table of ex ports that the sufferings and embarrassments of French manufacturers are must apparent, as their amount declined during the period of 1867 now under examination by 198 millions, of which 116 in articles the direct produce of the soil, an d the remainder-82 millions—in the various branches of manufactured goods. productionssi lktissues fell off 40 millions ; those of wool, upwards of 11; made-up goods, 6 ; fashionable articles, between 3 and 4 ; cotton fabrics, 4 ; and metal works, 3. The total imports during the five mouths being 1,303 millions, and the exports 1,293, there is a monthly average of the former of 200 millions, and of the latter of 258. During the corresponding period of 1866, the exports exceeded the imports by 322 mil lions. The Springfield Republican states that the grand jury of the city court of Mobile reports that the recent riot there grew out of the fact that firearms were openly worn by coloured men present to hear Judge 'Cuticle speech, and that the first shot was probably tired aceideu tally, which occasioned nn alarm and a panic. The coloured people of Mobilo refused General Swayne's offer to fill from their number the vacancy is the city council, declaring that they wanted to show to their fellow-citizens that they waived their claims as a class whenever it \VOA evident that the cause of peace aud good order would bo subserved thereby. The food crisis at the So he has passed with the beginning of the harvests, and hereafter no one need suf fer for want ofod who is willing and able to work. The late reports to General Howard, chief of the freedmen's bureau, also indicate a remarkable improvement in all re lations existing between the two races in a majority of the Southern States, and that a majority of the Southern peop le are labouring earnestly to comply with the require monts of the Government, in order to secure the long hoped-for domestic tranquillity.
