There is still a great dearth of any interesting news from almost every quarter of the Globe. The movements of the Emperor of the French are hardly noticed, and all that the gossiper has to fall back upon in the shape of general intelligence is the Caronation of the Czar at Moscow. The ceremony is to come off with great pomp and solemnity. We give in to-day's paper an account of the Emperor's entry into Moscow, and the pro ceedings in connection therewith. Whilst this is going forward, certain revelations are being made respecting the secret de signs of Russia upon Turkey. It would seem that nothing but the closest watching can prevent another attempt at aggresion upon Turkish soil. From Constantinople we have some interesting details of the Russian attempt] on Serpent's Island, which show that it originated in instructions direct from St. Peters burg rather than in over zeal on the part of the authorities at Odessa. Lord Lyons, we are told, ou receiving orders from England to remove the Russians, sent Captain Hillyar, from the Gladiator, it and n careen sa, but the excused himself by stating that he had orders to remain uutil he received further instructions from from his superiors. Captain Hillyar therefore went to Odessa, and asked for the removal of the detach- Wherenpor Governor of Odessa re. sted a delay of forty-e lent hours to enable him The Petersbur to telegraph to St answer returned was, that the .g for orders mid not ussians be removed until the whole frontier question wa settled according to the terms agreed upon a Conf Owing to the precautions tal Paris by Captain Hillyar, th lesign of Bus occupy Serpent's Island, was frustrated Allies with duplicity effect is to for again pursuing a line of act towards would conduct which might renewing the war. Every day exemplifies more and more the little reliance which can be placed in by every means at its dis a power that seeks posal, to enforce the principle of aggression Spain is still in an unsettled state, and though there is, apparently, political quietude, fresh evidence turns up every day, that Queen Isabella settled on the throne, or that she reigns in the hearts of her people. The recent coup d'etat, the court shuffling of General O'Donnell, and the suppression of the National Guard, have raised in the breasts of many thousands of the Spanish people, a feeling of disaffection, and a desire for another opportunity, to secure for themselves and their country, those measures of political ameliora tion, for which they now so loudly clamor. To give a temporary relief to the anxiety which the Court at Madrid must feel, under existing circumstances, the marriage of Prince Adalbert with the Infanta Donna Amaliat has opportunely occurred. For, no doubt, the feasting and festivities on the joyous occasion would, for a time, drive away the dull cares of state. According to our latest adviees, it is more than probable, that O'Donnell, in order to retain power, will make another bold attempt and that, ere long, he will dissolve the Constituent Cortes. Now, such a line of proceedure would be indefensible, and no doubt bring about a crisis which would entail is far from being firmly 11. serious character to the nation consequences of 4.. at large, and lead to the restoration of Narvaez, whose star is now in the ascendant. The proscrip tion from the soil of Spain, to which he was subjected, has been removed, and it is said that permission has been granted to him to return, although- it is reported that he is not to enter the capital. We read the following in our latest journals from Madrid : —" The Basque provinces are in a state of agitation which promises to give numerous recruits to the Carlist faction. The principal journal in Biscay informs us that the national assemblies (which comprise nearly all the inhabitants), the provincial deputie% and the juntas, have protested against the application of the law of the Ist of May, (the law for the desamortisation of ecclesiastical pro• perty) to the Basque provinces. This law,' ob serves the journal, ' violates our fueros, and it is to be hoped that the government will not persist in applying it.' Resistenee in that case is threatened, even going so far as a separation from the king dom." Arrests continue to be made in Catalonia. At Barcelona the price of bread still rises, in spite in corn and flour, and there of the fall of prices have bern some tumults at the door of the bakers : From Lerida it is announced that Madoz is about to publish a statement addressed to his constitu ents, in which he will narrate the events that pre- THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, ceded and have followed the counter revolution, from July to the present day. The bulletin of incendiarism is as follows :—" The ancient church of Gauteguey, in Biscay has been completely destroyed, and great damage has been done in the neighbourhood, continuing four days, before it could be stopped. At Jaen, the Cerro of San Cris toval has been entirely destroyed by fire. From Malaga, we hear of the destruction of the Monte Pinar, on the Sierra Bermeja." of moment i~ the news from Naples ; the city was perfectly tranquil, and there was not the least probability of any political dis turbance. Reports prevailed that the army was by no means well disposed to King Bomba, but this was nothing more than the old standing jealousy towards the Swiss, whose pay is higher than that of the native troops, whilst they are entrusted with the fortifications and posts of honour Our Lisbon advices are to the 25th ult., inclusive. then perfectly tranquil, and bread riots The capital was throup, at the country. It is satisfactory to be port a gradual decrease in cholera. The King had returned fror m Cintra to the capital, for the purpose ( pecting the Santarim railway, which the engineers say is now fit for traffic as far as Carregado ; whilst on this excursion, the engine got disarranged, and the royal party were obliged to return to Alverca on foot, and leave unfinished to another occasion the inspection of the line. been at Leeds ive deemed it their luty to present his lordship with a splendid sword, and which the donors intend to commemorate the events of his military life in the Crimean war, and particularly that great incident which has rendered " Balaklava" a password in the soldier's mouth. On receiving the sword, Lord Cardigan delivered a lengthened speech, in the course of which he referred to the battle of Bala clava, for the purpose, as he said, of correcting one or two fallacies which many still entertained with regard to the duties of a General of Cavalry leading the brigade into action, and to clear himself of imputations which certain parties had cast upon his honour and courage as a British soldier. rougi Our news from the sister island state that the official finding of the Court Martial at Nenagh has been promulgated, and is as follows :—Four men sen tenced by court-martial to transportation for life commuted to 21 years, and two men sentenced to 21 years' transportation commuted to 14 years each ; two, sentenced to 12 years' transportation' commuted to four years' penal servitude. One of the prisoners tried was found " not guilty." The sentence of death passed upon Patrick Burns' North Tipperary Militia, by Judge Moore, at last Nenagh Assizes, for the murder of a soldier of the 41st Regiment, has been commuted to trans_ portation for life. The five men of the North Tipperary Militia who were sentenced at Nenagh Assizes to 15 years' transportation each have had their sentences commuted to 10 years' penal servi tude. It appears that the police have not given up all hopes of capturing James Sadleir, as he is supposed to be still lurking in the shades of Coolnamuck. A few days ago the chase was renewed in that quarter by a party of fifteen constables, but their search was ineffectual. The contest for the earldom of Shrewsbury is attracting much attention,and pro mises to be a profitable harvest to the gentlemen of the long robe in Ireland as well as England. The Roman Catholic organs in Dublin are beginning to find fault with Dr. Cullen's policy, and attribute the failure of his pet scheme—the establishment of an exclusively Catholic University—to the Archbishop's manifest inclination to model the government of his Church after the fashion of his immediate predecessor in the diocese of Dublin. The Tablet of Saturday last writes strongly on this matt€ BUCHANAN for the Court of St. James's, and " FREMONT for American and the Union of the " States," appears to be the watchword of the Great Republic. The protracted civil war in Kansas, and the determined stand made by the Abolition ists up to the present moment, render all thoughts of a compromise hopeless. The time has, in truth, arrived, when the party which Mr. BUCHANAN leads must give place to those who are pre pared to encounter all the real and imaginary risks of Negro emancipation. The discussion which now occupies the mind of every Free Seiler, and the preservation of the mate rial interests of the free labourers, who look upon slavery as a fatal barrier to both their social and political progress, cannot be longer evaded or extenuated. The energy and united force of the Free States will leave no means untried to sustain their advanced guard in the South and West, and as population is the real basis of representation with them, that their numbers, whether in a revo lution or an election, will carry the cause they have taken up, cannot be questioned. Colonel FREMONT has been selected as the leader of the Free Soilers, and the abolition chief of the New World. Should his efforts to reach the Presidental Chair be frustrated—of which there does not appear to be the remotest chance—he will be no less formidable as the leader of an oppo sition, which carries with. it the moral opinion of the age. There is not a party in the States to pit against the abolition cause, unless that which confides in BUCHANAN. The Southerners do not recognise in that statesman a perfectly unbiassed pro slaver, but knowing his moderation; and his love of, and success in, great compromises, they are glad to accept a modified enemy rather than an open and thorough " go-a-head" foe. The monster curse of the West having arrived at this critical juncture, the FREMONT men will increase their ardour, if riot the numerical strength of the Free State bellige- rents now n arms. Any very strenuous opposition on the part of BUCHANAN and his Southern sup porters will lead to this disastrous result ; and such a certainty may deter a man of BUCHANAN'S mode ration from continuing a contest which would inevitably lead to so terrible a consummation. We have little reason to feel any concern about these matters in a political sense. Our natural instincts, and earliest teaching, lead us to desire the immediate and unqualified release of the African race from their bondage, but we have equally irresistible commercial considerations to weigh carefully. The change which we see approaching so rapidly in the States will cut off, come when it may, fully one-third of our supply of cotton. There are many who say that the immediate effect of that change would be more disastrous, but we have not heard any one assert that it would be less so. It would, therefore, have as marked an effect on our cotton market and the manufacturing interests, as a sudden outburst of popular violence in this country would have on the Stock Exchange. We are constrained to take more than ordinary notice, consequently, of a movement which is so closely interwoven with one of our leading branches of trade. We can lend no aid to the cause of emancipation, beyond wishing it a speedy and signal victory ; but we can help ourselves, and guard against that serious revulsion which TUESDAY. must folloW the triumph we so much desire, We know where cotton can be had in large quantities, and at a lower price than we pay for it in America. We know that it can be obtained from the Niger in exchange for manufactures suited to the tastes of the natives who inhabit the shores of that river, We know that stream to be navigable for several hundreds of miles; and we know also that sickliness of the West Coast and the valleys of its great arterial streams is the only obstacle that has presented itself to check the developMent of the natural cotton fields of Africa. But this evil has not been suffered to retard the palm oil and other trades of the Coast, and it should not be permitted longer to keep back its cotton. Like all other new undertakings it would require organising. It would be necessary for the mer chants and manufacturers of the North to meet and cooperate cordially in carrying out some thoroughly mercantile experiment— of encouraging the cultivation of cotton in a country where it constitutes one of the most prolific spontaneous offerings -not With a view of the soil, and where it can be had for the mere trouble of picking. All that is required is an association, with a moderate amount of money, which might be raised by subscription, to send out active and intelligent agents to select proper localities for the establishment of stores, where goods could be deposited and exchanged for cotton with the natives, in the proper season, or where money might be forwarded if it should be found necessary to buy with cash. Such a could easily be set on foot, and a moment ought not to be lost in making some practical effort to check the commercial evils of the changes which are impending in America. We have no reason to believe that anything will be attempted with unnecessary precipitancy by the FREMONT party, should they succeed in securing the reins of gov ernment ; but we know the impulsive character of the people we have to deal with in the States, and that where civil war reigns, its cause must be grappled with, and slavery must eventually be abolished, without waiting to conshlt the welfare of others. Cotton we must have, and in largely increased quantities, and to Africa we must look mainly for our future supplies. THE QUEEN'S JOURNEY NORTH EDINBURGH, Saturday.—Yesterday her Majesty passed the day in privacy, with the exception of a drive round a portion of the town in the forenoon, and a visit to Craig miller Castle, Hawthornden, and Roslin in the afternoon. All day the citizens of Edinburgh, and a considerable num ber of strangers who had come from the country to see the Queen, were astir, and both streets and parks were crowded. Contrary to general anticipation, there was no review of the Crimean troops garrisoned inEdinbnrgh, and but a small por tion of the expectant multitude even bad the good fortune to see her Majesty, as she passed through a few of the trin cipal streets, and did not visit any of the public buildings, though preparations were everywhere made for her recep tion. At a quarter before nine o'clock this morning, her Majesty, Prince Albert, Prince Alfred, the Princesses, and suite, left Holyrood Palace, and proceeded to St. Margaret's Station en route for the north. Both sides of the carriage drive were occupied by military, as on the occasion of the arrival of the royal party on Thursday evening. The troops tr ok up their places at eight o'clock. A guard of honour of infantry, and the band of the sth dragoons, attended at the station, where the Queen arrived ten minutes before nine o'clock. Lord Melville accompanied the royal cortege from the Palace to Meadowbank. There were present on the platform at the moment of departure, among others, the Lord Provost and Sheriff Gordon. The Queen, we believe, expressed to the authorities the greatest satisfaction in re ference to her reception in Edinburgh, and all the arrange ments relating to her visit. On their way to the station the Queen and Prince Albert cordially returned the loud and frequent greetings of the people, who gathered in great numbers, notwithstanding the early hour, to witness her departure. Before nine o'clock had struck the royal train was on its way to the north. The train reached Stirling at 10.7, and Perth at 11.10, as anticipated. At both places there was a numerous assemblage, and a guard of honour of Highland regiments. THE ROYAL FAMILY OF OUDE SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 31.—The R)yal Family of Oude and their suite left here last night for London, by special train. They occupied three first-class, two second class, and two third-class carriages, and their baggage filled four railway vans. The royal family and suite consisted of 110 persons, and their baggage and treasures consisted of 500 packages. The expense of the train was above £lOO, full fare being paid for each person and package. Holford house, Regent's park, was taken on Friday for the residence of the Queen, Princes, and as many of the suite as it will accommodate, at a rental of £550 a year, Mr. White was paid 100 guineas for the hotel during the few days' stay of the party. During the removal of the baggage one of the, wo r kmen entered the Queen's apartment inadvertently, In` a moment he was hurried out by a eunuch. He had just time to notice the Queen, who was dressed in white, and was prominently seated among a number of native ladies. At six o'clock last night the Oude party commenced leaving the hotel. The hotel outer doors were closed. Native mace-bearers guarded the entrance. A large crowd as sembled outside the hotel to witness the departure. The low caste male servants left the hotel first, and many of them walked to the terminus. Cabs were hired to convey the Princes, their attendants, the eunuchs, the ladies, and the female servants of the court there, and a carriage and pair to convey the Queen, her principal female attendant, and a eunuch. About half-past seven the sec ne inside the termi nus was a most animated and laughable one. A number of the pariah class had got into the 3rd class carriages, and were smoking and enjoying themselves. Others of the same class were busy carrying and stowing away Hindoo bedding, mats', carpets, and curious culinary and washing utensils, &c. Cabs were racing into the terminus every minute with the monshees and gentlemen of the court. The Hindostanee of the natives, the slang of the cabmen, and the noise of the crowd formed a Babel-like confusion of tongues. Towards eight o'clock a rush was made to see the princesses and maids of honour. They were dressed in mummy. like fashion, and each cabfull of them was marshalled by a eunuch. In the covering for the face was a hole by which they could see out, and which enabled them to walk from the cab to the railway carriages without stumbling. They were assisted into the carriages by the eunuchs, and when they were seated, the window blinds were drawn down. Before this was done, however, one of the ladies would occasionally take the covering off the face. The two Princes were dressed very splendidly, and were escorted along the railway platform by a large party of eunuchs and native gentlemen, who had the greatest diffi culty to keep off the crowd from pressing too closely upon them. The Queen was in the terminus for some time before it was decided how she could be best got out of her carriage and conveyed to the railway carriage without being seen. It was at first intended to convey her in a palanquin, but this idea was abandoned. Long and earnest conversations took place between the eunuchs and other natives, outside the carriage, and her Majesty within, evidently about the difficulty of preventing her from being seen. Her Majesty talked very volubly upon the matter. Great disputes, in Hindostanee, took place also between Mr. Brandon, the in terpreter, the eunuchs, and other native servants, apparently about the same subject. Full half an hour was wasted in this way. The Queen's carriage was drawn up to a doorway of the platform different to that where the Princes and others entered, and there was a distance of twenty feet from the carriage where the Queen was to the railway train. At length it was determined to conceal her by holding up pieces of cloth, linen, or shawls, so as to form a screened passage for her Majesty to walk through. But the screens could not be got long or wide enough, nor were there a sufficient number of eunuchs to hold them up. If the screens touched the ground persons could look over them, and would be able to see the Queen's head ; and if they did not touch the ground persons could look under, and would be able to see the Queen's feet. At length, with the assist ance of Mr. Watkins, the station master, who helped to hold up the screens, and of Mr. Brandon, who stood in a gapway, caused by the shortness of the scree ns, an imper fectly concealed passage was formed ; and soon afterwards the door of the carriage opened. Every one's breath was now suspended. Brandon twisted round, so as to present his back to her Majesty, and that he might not be guilty of the profanation of looking at her, when presently a stout figure, com pletely shrouded in a white dress, emerged from the carriage.' This was the Begum, or Queen-Dowager of Oude. She was fol lowed b y a lad y attired similarly to her self. 'Re curiosity of the spectators was now a l most boundless, but the eu nu c hs, still holding up the screens, closed up behind her Majesty until she entered a d ar k ened compar t men t of a railway carriage, the door of which was immediately closed. Her Majesty soon uncovered a portion of her face, and looked through the window of the carriage to the platform on the crowd ; but no one outsid e cou ld dis tinguish her features. The whole of the Oude party were now seated, and most of them engaged in smoking, laugh ing, and chatting. Each of the Princes, with his attendants, had a separate compartment. The elder Prince appeared quite joyous, but there was a sadness which seemed to cloud the countenance of the younger. At half-past eight the train started for London. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENINC There has been a steady enquiry for Cotton to-day, and holders were enabled to command very full rates. The sales reached 12,000 bales, of which speculators took 2,000 American. The market closed with firmness, holders having the advantage in price. According to the last statement contained in the New York Shipping List, the total receipts of Cotton at all the ports this year was 3,404,721, against 2,771.725 last year. The ship ments to Great Britain reached 1,945,179 bales, against 1,575,006 in 1854 and 13..55. The stocks on hand were much reduced, and estimated at 55,884 bales, against 139,.685 held at same date last year. The Liverpool Share Market has been rattier tame, sales limited in extent, and towards the close of business, buyers had the advantage in price.

The Consol market opened steadily, and for the account, sales were made at 951, for money the opening quotation was 95. Prices then rose to 95/, and, subsequently, again receded to 95. Sales of Three-and a-quarter per cent, were reported at 951, 96. The latest closing rates were— Consols for account, and money 951, 951. Exchequer Bills, 11 to 15 prem. Three-and-a-quarter per cents, 954, 96. In the London Railway Share Market there was little done. The closing rates were as follows :—Cale donian, 511 52. Eastern Counties, 9 7-16, 9 9-16. East Lancashire, 82, 84. Great Northern 96, 961. Do. A., 85, 86. Great Western, 64t 64r. Lancashire and Yorkshire, 971, 984. London and North Western, 104 A, 1041. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, 34. 341. Midland Stock, 811, 811. North British, 391, 40. South Eastern and Dover, 73/, 731. York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 821 831. York and North Midland, 58, 59. The Colonial Produce Markets, both here and in London, are quiet. There is no desire to speculate in any article. 'Tea, Sugar, and Coffee bring late rates. Rice is rather neglected, except good and fine white Bengal, which is taken freely. The weather continues rather unsettled, but does not prevent farmers proceeding with harvest operations. Our advices from Mark-lane state, that the grain trade there to-day was dull ; Wheat was sold at a decline of 5s per qr on all but best sorts. Flour was also 3s per sack cheaper. Norfolks was sold at 48s. The Monthly Wool Circular 'of Messrs Hughes and Ronald, issued this morning, contains the following : The attention of the trade has been chiefly directed to the public sales, which have continued in progress in London during the past month, tip the 25th ult. Previous to these sales it was expected that the quantity of fine Colonial to be offered would approach 80,000 ! In some quarters it was attempted to prove that this was an exaggerated statement, which, however, has not been borne out by the result, the quantity having exceeded 79,000 bales. Notwithstanding the conflicting opinions which prevailed before the sales, they opened on the 17th July with great spirit, at about lid per lb. decline on the average from the closing prices of the May to June sales, and continued to go on steadily for several weeks, until the magnificent weather set in, which gave a decided im petus to prices, and notwithstanding the somewhat unpropitious change which afterwards took place, so strong was the feeling that it failed to have any effect on the market, and it requires little argument to prove the sound position of the trade when we state that the closing prices show an advance of id to 12,1 per lb. from the commencement. That this large quantity has been so satisfactorily disposed of we may attribute in addi tion to the favourable harvest prospects, also to the easy state of the money market, and that the great bulk of the clip has now arrived, the trade being, con , equently, aware that for the next six months they have only limited supplies to look forward to. From the 19th to the 23d ultimo, 4,225 bales of East India were offered in London, at auction, which realised very satisfactory prices, at about Id per lb. in advance of our last sales. The tone of the market by private contract has been rather animate, and most kinds of current qualities have met with ready sale on arrival. In the combing districts there is some improvement observable, although there is still much to he desired, and the trade is by no means so active as the clothing trade. We regret to state that the blanket manufacturers have still to complain of great depression i❑ this branch of business, but we hope an improve ment will soon take place. The paucity of stock has to some extent impeded the business by private contract, and from the long interval since our last sales, dealers have been enabled to clear off their stocks of East India and other wools at a profit. Egyptian and Oporto have been much sought after, and have found ready buyers at full prices, on arrival. Russia donskoy has been in more demand at improved rates. Turkey, Smyrna, and Syria have been much enquired for, but are very scarce. Also Cordova. Fine river plate wools have been in request, but there is litttle to report, being generally held at higher prices than the trade can at present afford to pay. Several cargoes of Iceland have arrived, which have met with immediate sale. Turkey goats wool continues in demand at full prices. There have been no sales of Alpaca, but there has been more enquiry of late. Peruvian continues much neglected. There has been a fair business done in Irish, and prices continuo very steady. Scotch wools have been more enquired for, and prices are well maintained, the stock being very light, and from the large quantity cleared out of growers' hands, our supplies are likely to be very moderate. Sheepskins meet with ready sale, but we have no change to quote in value. Our next public sales will commence on the 26th instant. The quantity of East India on the spot at present is about 7,000 bales, which may, however, be increased by some further arrivals. A gene ral assortment of other wools will be offered at the same time, but the quantity, owing to the smallness of stocks, is not likely to he large. Messrs. Elliotand Urmson issued their Mon thly Review of the Tobacco Trade this morning, in which they state : The business of the month has been to a fair extent, and the sales may be estimated at 1,100 to 1,200 hbds, of these about 100 Va. leaf and strips with 50 Kentucky stemed were for Ireland, 70 Va. leaf for export, a few parcels of Kentucky stemed for re-sale, and the balance including 400 Maryland, by the trade. In the early part of the month the market wt., characterised by the same feeling and tendency as the previous one, gradually hardening rates, but on the arrival of the steamer on the 11th instant, with accounts so bad of the crops, including even the Virginia one, prices took a decided start, and 10d to Is were named as the prices for Western stetted, subsequent sales of which have established those quotations. Marylands have been freely dealt in, but coloury Ohios are scarce and much wanted, the last accounts say that the crop on the ground is the shortest of four short crops in succession, so that prices rule high in Baltimore. Paraguay : Large sales to the trade, 900 to 1,000 bales being taken at rates advancing from 63d last month to Elid for the late sales. More business would have been done in Greek and Turkey had there been stocks, almost every bale of the latter has been taken for con sumption at very full rates. The first cargo in from Virginia with 1,169 hhils and tierces, but not included in the stocks, also the Patterson from New Orleans, with 357 hbds. The last accounts from Virginia are more favourable for the pros pects of the growing crop. According to the tabulated statements of Mr. Joseph Whittaker, the total number of departures from Liver pool for Australia during August were 14 vessels, with a tonnage of 17,277 tons, and carrying out 2,074 passen gers, being an increase on the previous month of three vessels, 5,391 tons, and 178 passengers. The following may be quoted as the present rates of freight from this port :—To Sydney, 30s; Melbourne and Geelong, 40s to 50s ; and to the wharf, Adelaide, 30s. The Paris Bourse closed on Saturday with a recovery of 15c for the account in the Three per Cent Rentes ; but the market was dull, with a disposition to sell on the smallest appearance of an improvement. In Bank Stocks there was literally no business done; and the Railway Share Market continued to decline under the unfavourable receipts from the principal lines. !Northern of France fell 2ff ; Eastern, Old, 5f ; Do. New, 3if ; Mediterranean, 20f; Midland, l f; Grand Central, 211; St. Rambert, 101; Austrian Society, ; and an im provement of 21f in Lyons; lir Western, and 5f in Gen€va. A telegraphic despatch states that the Bourse closed this afternoon at 70f. 80e.,for the Three per Cents. The half-yearly meeting of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company is called for the 16th September, when it will be prepared to " consolidate and convert into separate general capital stocks the original shares of 501 each, and the first preference shares of 151. each, and also the second preference shares of 9/. 12s. 6d. and 21. 17s. 6d. each." REARING FESTIVITY AT BIRX.ENELE kD : — On Saturday last, Mr. F. Styan, who has been erecting an extensive cabinet-making and upholstery establishment in Birken head, entertained the contractors and workmen engaged thereon to a substantial repast, prepared by Mr. Wingfield of the St. George Inn, Grange-lane. An agreeable and harmonious evening was spent, a ll part i es b e i ng we ll pleased with the entertainment served up, and wishing Mr. Styan every success in his new and splendid establishment. The contractor, Mr. Givering, stonemason, and Mr. J. Richards, bricklayer, deserve praise for the expeditious and substantial manner in which they have performed their part of the work. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The government is collecting a fleet off Tottlo l to manoeuvre under the orders of Admiral Tre` hovart in the Mediterranean. Surprise has been expressed at the Moniteur having for some time past said nothing about the, movements of the Emperor and Empress. Today it breaks silence by saying that the Empress afld the Imperial Prince are quite well, and that the Emperor is employing himself with plans P f the improvement of the port of Bayonne, and withe those for uniting in the Pyrenees the railways 0. France and Spain. The official journal says that the Emper -ail received General Serrano at Biarritz. Tile rec e Pi tion was not, however, I understand, the offieu; one for the presentation of credentials—that wit ; take place at Paris. His Majesty has also receive," at Biarritz, M. Olozaga, the retiring French ambassador. The government was very anxious to get posj session of the original of the address (referred tu in previous letters) from the students to the editors of the Siecle, the Presse, and some ()that newspapers, complimenting them on their supP or l of the Italian cause. It has at length succectle' in its object, the editor who received the addres s having given it up. Inquiries are row being in stl tuted to ascertain whether' or not the signatures are genuine, but it is not likely that the govern; ment either will or can prosecute any of tti, students, though it will very probably cause sow° of them to be expelled. It was reported some time back that Engl o3 , and France were not in accord on the Neapo question, and that, as a proof of this, when di! English and French Ministers had an intervie' with the Neapolitan Minister of Foreign Afrair. s , l to present the joint notes of remonstrance of the y governments, the Frenchman said nothing at 111,4 A letter in the Independence of Brussels, written authority, says that the report in question "tv 6 entirely erroneous ; that England and France perfectly in accord ; and the reason why, at th e interview referred to, his nothing, French Minister 010 nothing, was, that the English Minister was b tt senior, and that it is the usage in diplomacy i°g seniors to do all the talking. The letter adds tb a i , the French Minister has, in order to dispel l',* l o misunderstanding on the subject, given tt Neapolitan Government a formal assurance tuft England and France are perfectly agreed to the views on Naples. PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING' e , It is again reported, and with greater po stV. ness than ever, that the Emperor is seriously ,i, both mentally and bodily. His physical state alleged to be such that he can hardly walk witlooll assistance. But there is reason to belieVe the reports about his Majesty's condition are , ih - wholly unfounded, at least grossly exaggerate"'. Some sensation has been caused by the sti cUl° 4 up of placards announcing that certain peracTsi have been condemned to death, by the Impe,r i nr Court, for " attempting to assassinate the P o ';,, peror." The persons referred to, are, howe y 'a only those who were concerned in what were cal l a{ the Hippodrome and Opera Comique Plot s 1853, for the murder of his Majesty. These 11 '0 have taken to flight; and in France, criminals- W d, escape from justice, are condemned par contun l of and are placarded ; if they give themselves uPL O O are captured, the condemnation par contumace , a t be not take effect, but they are brought to trial regular way The weekly commercial report records a s, t i l e improvement in the trade of Paris; ana .40 receipt by it of rather large orders for America.

At Havr e 113 0 demand for cotton was more brisk during week; sales amounted to 5,100 bales. s tate Accounts from Constantinople, of the 21st, .etc, that the Russian Minister, M. de Bouteolv arrived simply in a mercantile vessel, and that bo was not charged to act as regular ambassadors was simply on a special mission. The B us tob commission for forming the Asiatic frontier s arrived at Tiflis. A paragraph in the Constitutionnel of yest e T; (l explains that the sentences of death rac e ' 0, against five persons who conspired against til e r 0; of the Emperor (mentioned in our Paris letteopo Sunday) applied to the affairs of the Hippodrotn.. ° the Opera Comique in 1853, and not to anY recent affair, as asserted by some journalistg- ♦ PRUSSIA A Berlin letter in the Gazette of the o f Empire says :—" We are assured that the - 1 "'"V Prussia lately wrote a confidential letter t o , King of Naples, in which he prayed him not N o lioi the risk of renewing war by persisting in a P fl) ° , which may excite insurrections, and caus e o p intervention of the Western Powers.
