It has been announced at all . the Russian ports in the Baltic that the duty. on -refined , sugar imported by sea is reduced. The exact amount of specie and bullion shipped on board the AM, which left Southampton for Alexandria to-day. is 675,392/, of which 12,3491 is gold, and 663,0431 silver. The destination of these supplies is as follows,:—For Alexandria, gold, SPI; for Bombay, silver, 39,7311; for Ceylon, gold, 871; for Madras, gold, 40/, and silver, 2,0001; for Cal cutta, silver, -103,906 1 , and. gold; 821; nfor.

It will be noticed that no les - s than 436,769/ in silver, besides 8,8501 in gold, goes to the three Chinese ports, owing to the rise in the exchange on that side. The aggregate ascertained exports of the week are thus raised to 717,4001; but the bulk of this sum; as already shown, consisted of silver, which has been in course.of gmdual collection since the departure of the last Alexandria steamer, and part of which has been drawn from the Continent. Privately the whole of the specie—amounting to close upon' a quarter of a million—ex the Ba►tic and Canada has also been sent to the Continent. The 24Q,0001 in gold brought by the New Great Britain is not yet in band, whilst the specie ex the Martdalena is expected to be delivered to-morrow or Wednesday. The whole of the week's supplies are thus accounted for, and, so far, have occasioned no addition to the Bank's metallic stock. The Funds remain inanimate, but very firm. Prices have not varied from the closing quotations of Saturday. Consols are quoted 951 to 951, both for money and Thursday next. In the Foreign Stock Market the chief feature is an improvement a Spanish.

TUESDAY. (IT.OM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. I am able to assure you, on very excellent autho rity, that the Emperor is really seriously ill, so much so as to excite alarm in the breasts of his family and friends. His illness consists in the developement of the malady in the spine, with which he has always been afflicted. But though ill, lie is able to attend to business, and is not in danger. The Austrian government, I hear, is alarmed at the attitude which Sardinia *Assumes towards it in Italy, and has begged the French government to represent to the latter that, in order to preserve the tranquillity of Europe, a change of its policy would be desirable. The French government has accordingly, I am told, made a communication of a confidential character• to Sardinia, hinting that she might assume a less hostile attitude and tone towards Austria, without lessening the influence she exercises in Italy. The view which Sardinia will take of this monition remains to be seen. The Siecle, in an article which is not without interest for Liverpool people, complains that of the three lines of steamers which ply between New York and Havre, that of an English company, (Cunard) that of an American company, and that of G-authier freres, a French company, the latter by the absurd custom regulations of France, and the treaties of commerce between her and the United States, actually pays heavier dues than the other two, and in consequence is unable to compete with them on fair terms. The Siecle also makes an assertion which will startle Many readers—it is that in consequence of the spread of railways on the Continent, Havre is becoming the general entrepot of the world, and already does more business with New York than Liverpool. The heat here is excessive—quite African The Emperor will return to Paris either to morrow or the day after, but will leave on the 10th or l lth for Biarritz accompanied by the Empress. Although the Moniteur, a few days ago, published an article contending that O'Donnell's coup d'etat in Spain was not a coup d'etat, and although the Journal des Debats, yesterday, published an article to the same effect, the accounts received from Madrid, both yesterday and to day, concur in representing that O'Donnell means to do away with the present Constitution, and to grant one of his own authority, as the French Emperor did here. THE ROCK FERRY STEAMBOAT COMPANY.—The annual meeting of the proprietors of this company was held in the Clarendon-rooms, at eleven o'clock yesterday. The business was private. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The Baltic, United States Mail Steamer, sails to-morrow for New York. Letters will be received at the General Post Office up to 10 o'clock, and with late fees to 11, and at the Landing-stage to 12 o'clock with additional fees. AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—This morning letters will ba in time for the Ocean Chief, Australian packet ship, if posted at the General Post Office to 8 o'clock a.m. ; with late fees until 9 a m., and at the_branc , i office at the Landing-stage, with the extra lees, until 10 o'clock a.m. Civic HOSPITALITY.—The Maid3tone Gazette says in structions have been given to provide a banquet at the Crown Hotel, Rochester, on Wednesday ( . o - mo rrow) for, about 150 guests, invited' by the Lord Mayor of London to meet him on the oecas.on of the septennial visit of the cor poration as conservators of the Thames and Medway. SMITH'S PATENT BUOYANT VEST.-011 Saturday after noon; the efficacy of this vest was again tested at the land ing-stage.

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER ITALIAN. --Intelligence from Lisbon, dated the 29th ultimo, states that the screw steamer Italian, Captain HamiltA, when on her passage from this port to Gen oa, when off Cape Finis erre, was were discovered to be on fire in the forehold. Th e hatches immediately battened down, and a run made for Lisbon. At that port she arrived on the 29th, still on fire, and was run aground. Engines had bee n.playing upon her all the night, and at the time the despatch left, she had fifteen feet water in her hold, leaving but three feet to be filled up. The fire was still burning when the account of the disaster was sent'eff. FATAL ACCIDENT AT BITRY.—On Saturday last a fatal accident occurred to a boy named Edward Nuttall, aged thirteen years, son of -Joseph -Nuttall, blacksmith, Radcliffe. The deceased was in the employ of Messrs Knowles and Hill, at the Chain Pit, Stone Field, Radcliffe, in the capacity of hooker on at the top of the pit, and by some means, about eleven o'clock in the forenoon he was precipitated from the top, and when he had gone down a distance of seventy yards he fell int) a descending tub, and was so severely bruised on the head and other parts of the body, that be died before ho could be raised to the top of the pit. TIC CIMPA9E CoF COTTON SPINNING IN BOLTON.—It has beat ascertained that the projected increase of mills in the town and neighbourhood of Bolton, the erections for 'which are new in progress, and which; in the ordinary urse, will be at full work in two years from the present time, amounts to 450 00o,spindles. These mills will all be fitted up to spin, with what is techniCally called "double roving," and will, therefore, necessarily be confined to the spinning of No. 50; and upwards, i.e. what are usually called " the Bolton counts." When We recollect that, for some time past, and up to the ern of the declaration of peace, this branch of manufacture is known to have been very unprofitable, and . that in the pait ten years its extension, in the same district has not amounted, on the most liberal esdarite, to mere than 50,000 spindles per annum, we con gratulate the parties upon the spirit and enterprise they display,' and heartily wish them success TILE WEATIIER.-110wever fearful the degree of heat to which the denizens of our town and county have recently been exposed, we have the subjoined strange contradiction from other parts of Europe :—A letter from Berne of the 21st ultimo, states, tharin the night of the 9th July,snow fell on Monnt St. Gothard ; on the 11th, at six in the morning, the 'thermometer stood at 6 degrees below zero centigrade (23 Fahrenheit), and at eight o'clock the windows of the hospice remained covered with frost as in winter. On the 15th the temperature rose to 22 degrees above zero (72 F.). —A letter of July 4, from Egscet, in Norway, in the Augsburg Cazette, says :---" The tempera , . tore is extraordinary cold for the season. Last night the thermometer was su low; in some localities the p otatoes were troxen in the ground. Two dais ago it snowed part of the day. On the heights of the Theletnarke the cold has been s) severe that cows and sheep have-perished. The snow was a foot deep there. On the lat July the Axet steamer was prevented from leaving Satiated by a snow storm.)"--The closing account is from our neighbouring city of Mancheater, whence we learn, that on Sunday last, at two o'clock, the thermometer, 'on the western side of igauchebier, indicated 82 degrees in the shade; and, in the sun, 125 degrees.

ARRIVAL OF MARSHAL • PELISSIER Yesterday we announced the arrival at Marseilles on the Ist instant, by the Stearn - CiiriiitteMbland of Ma shat Pelissier and his suite: We 'have ,now to add that on landing at Marseilles Marshal Pelissier found a letter from the Emperor, announcing to him that his Majesty confers on him the title of Duke. The moment the corvette entered the port, all the merchant vessels decked themselves with colours, the ships of war manned their boats, and the Caradoc, of the British Royal Navy, hoisted the French flag on the top of her mianmast, and deputed - an officer to congratulate the Marshal. At 2 o'clock, M. llonorat,. Mayor of Marseilles; M. Prefect, acting as Prefect in the absence of M. Creveccour ; and General Carrondelet, commander of the Department, and his staff, went on board the Roland to salute the Marshal. Shortly after wards the Marshal, followed by General Roguet, Aide-de Camp of the Emperor, deecended into the boat of the corvette and landed on the Quai Napo leon, where the Mayor, the municipal body, an d all the authorities had assembled to receive him. The Marshal then got into an open carriage, and proceeded amid a, double line of troops, and c r i es of " Vice l'Empereur !" and " Vire le Marechal !" to the hotel of the Receiver -General, where he alighted. SPAIN The Moniieur of Sunday publishes the following despatch from the French Consul at St. Sebastian, dated August 2 : " Yesterday at noon the Queen's troops entered Saragossa, without the least resistance. The utmost tranquility prevails in the city. The Militia has been disarmed, and the municipality changed." A letter has been received from Aladrid, in which the writer thus adverts to passing events : General Falcon, who commanded at Saragossa before the cap i tulation , has arrived with a number of his friends at the frontiers 'of France. The , Spanish government will increase the number of the regular army by 12,000 men. Despatches this evening .say the whole of Spain conti nues t o b e tranquil. I understand the present advisers of the Queen of Spain have declared to the government of the E m peror of the. French, that it is not the intention of her Majesty or O'Donnell to change the fundamental form of government at Madrid. It is proposed that the Constitution of 1845-6 should be promulgate& which, it will be remem bered, is much more restricted than the majority of. Spaniards would hitherto accept. As far as I can learn,. O'Donnell is now employed. in endeavour ing to incorporate the moderate men of all parties in the interests of government. So much for official news. I have a private letter before , me. which declares the Queen to be very unpopular, and the army by no means unanimous in its support of O'Donnell, whose downfall ere long is declared to be inevitable. From the Madrid journals, of the 30th ult., we learn that Catalonia, Gallicia, the two Castiles, and the Basque Provinces were tranquil. General Sanz, Commander-General of Zamora, committed. suicide on the 25th. A letter, written by the General, says that the recent events prompted him to adopt that melancholy reso lution. _ _ The Gazette contains a decision of the Minister of War, having for its object to accelerate the formation of the provincial militias, or corps of reserve. This measure proves that the Govern ment is determined to increase the effective force of the army. It was still believed that the Government, modi fying its original programme, intended preparing a Constitution, and promulgating it without the participation of the Cortes. General Zabala, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, having obtained permission to proceed to England, took leave of the Queen on the 29th. The Government hail _ been officially informed that, the cholera had completely ceased at Seville. The damage done to private property during the conflict at Madrid was very great. The Duke de Medina has sent in a claim to the amount of 2,250,000 francs on account of the ckstructiou of his furniture and pictures. AUSTRIA, The Deutchsland publishes a letter from Vienna, in which we read the following :--( The Cabinet of Vienna is actively engaged at this moment with the affairs of Naples. The Cabinet of the Tuileries has communicated to the Cabinet of Vienna the last note addressed to the Western Powers. by:the Court of Naples, and has declared that the-govern ment of the Emperor Napoleon was in the highest degree dissatisfidd with the principles expressed in that document'; 'And, moreover, that', it was mi deterned, witlkliii'Woperatiori' of England, to constrain the Neapolitan government to giie way to the legitimate demands of the Western Poivers. Austria could not ~remain indifferent to the coma munication of the French Cabinet, and she con tinues to represent to the Cabinet of -Naples, the necessity of giving ,way to the Western :Powers ; adding that, in the event of resistance; it must.not count on the moral or physical support of Austria. A new note =has been drawn up in this sense, and of thhaar.rgTe w d 0 with s i i e t s s . -ce l na t m i s u i e e p a e t i d o n t ha to t t t h he e King of Naples will finish ;by givin g • General Marini, Ambassador..of Austria at N ap l es, w C i o l u l Court way in the face of this representation." ____ T ._ THE EAST. The Hydaspe arrived at Marseilles on Saturday at 6 p.m , with despatches from Constantinople of the 24th 'of July. The frigates Cameleoty and Didon haVe arrived. "When the Hydaspe left there were very.few troops at Constantinople. ♦ - THE A'TBASSADORS TO RUSSIA We learn that Count de Morny left Berlin on Saturday for St. Petershurg. The stay of _hi s Excellency at the Prussian capital was curtailed in consequence of the absentee of some high person. ages. Intelligence has also reached us that Earl Granville and his suite arrived at the Hotel de l'Europe,,Hamburg, on Saturday, and left on Sun day afternoon en route for Kiel and Russia. It is understood that the coronation is postponed for a week. . , CHESTER ASSIZES CHESTER, MONDAY. The summer assizes commenced this forenoon before Mr. Justice Crompton and Mr. Justice Williams. There are fifty-three prisoners for trial. The most important case in the calendar being that of Mr. Benjamin Baylis, the city surveyor of Chester, from 1846 until 1855, who stands charged with having embezzled large sums of money, the property of the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of Chester. Mr. Justice Crompton presided in the Crown Court, and charged the grand jury. There were no cases possessing any public interest tried during the day. NISI PRIUS COURT. (BEFORE MR. JUSTICE WILLIAMS.) GRAHAM V. RICARDO AND OTHERS.—In these case which were of considerable interest, the Attorney-general, Mr. Grove and Mr. Davidson had been retained on the part of the plaintiff, and Mr. Welsby appearcd for the defendants. The damages were laid at £2,000. Mr. Grove, Q,C, stated the case. He said that the action was brought on two patents, the first granted on the 27th of March, 1845, and the second on the 4th of September, 1845. The plaintiff was trustee for parties beneficially interested in the gnat( percha patent, and he brought this action against the de fendants, viz, Mr. Ricardo, the member for Stoke-upon- , Trent, Mr. Whitworth, an eminent enginser and contractor, at Manchester, and others personally interested in the E'ectric Telegraph Company, for an infringement of the Gate Percha Company's patent. There were two invert- Lions. in (Fustian. The first was a mode of manufacturing gutta percha, by a very ingenious machine, which forced it through warm dyes, and it was afterwards chilled in watr for the purpose of forming plastic thread. The second discovery was an improvement on that invention, by the insertion of a maunstril or case in the tube of the gutta percha, which was so forced Thesethrough, patents,as to tmakehe plaintiffs it be comceo contended, solid end ed tube th aot guttathe percha. defendant had infringed by manufacturing the same. Until a few days ago, it was expected that this case would have been an important question for the jury and his lordship to con sider, but on the eve of the trial, after a consider* able amount of investigation, the defendants had admitted the plaintiffs title, and consented to a verdict in the action. It would, therefore, be the duty of the jury to return a verdict for the plaintiffs. Mr. Welsby : On the part of the defendant, I have now to confirm, in the fullest manner, all that my learned friend has stated, and to express, on behalf of my clients, their willing ness to consent to the verdict being entered against them The jury having found a verdict for the plaintiffs, by direc ion of his lordship, Mr. Grove said he had now to apply to his Lordship for a certificate of the validity of the patent, under, the Patent Act. [A certificate of the validity of a patent, carries treble costs in any subsequent action.) His Lordship said he must pause before acceding to the applica tion, because he had some difficulty in concluding whether the clause in theact was applicable in the present instance; something must be shown which did not appear on the record, in order to present a collusive action. Mr. Grove said, it appeared to him that the object of the act was to enable the judge to ascertain whether the plaintiff's titles had been bona fide questioned, which certainly had been the case in the present instance. The judge said, that on Mr. Welsby's confirmation of that state ment, he, would grant a certificate, because then he should have material to go upon, whereas, at present there was only what was shown upon the record. Mr. Welsby here observed .he could assure his lordship that until a very recent period this defence was not only a bona fide one, but was conducted with the strongeEt hostility. The Judge then remarked that on that confirmation he was justified, and would grant the certificate. HANCOCK V. RWARDO AND OTHERS.—This was another action on the sac el grounds as the preceding one, but lavought for the infringement of other of the Gutta 'Perch& patents. A similar verdict was taken. GRAHAM V. MOSELEY.—A similar action to the former. The defendant. who resides in Manchester, is connected with the Electric Telegraph Company, as contractor. A like verdict was taken for the plaintiffs by consent. COURT OF ADMIRALTY.-SATURDAY. BEFORE THE RIGHT HON. DR. LUSHINGTON. THE CASE OP THE DESPATCH STEAMER.—In this case there were cross actions. The schooner Glide, of the burden of 142 tons, preceeding from Amlwoh, in ballast, to Liver pool, and the steamship Despatch, of the burden of 294 !oils, with engines of 120-horse power, bound from Dub'in to Liverpool, came into collision with each other at 12.26 a.m. on the 14th of November last, about one mile from the north-weet lightship, at the entrance to the river Mersey. The direction of the wind was S.E., and the weather, according t o t h e sc h ooner, was hazy, b u t as represented by the steamer, dark and cloudy with out haze or mist. The course of the schooner wag S.S.W.; of the steamer E.S.E. The schooner alleged that she was close hauled on the port tack, and on descrying the steamer on her starboard quarter, distant a mile, she imme diately exhibited a light, and kept steadily on her reach, expecting that the steamer would pass under her stern, which she might easily have done. The steamer, however, which was proceeding at the rate of nine knots an hour, approached the schooner without any alteration in her course, until within the distance of about three times her own length, and then, instead of going astern, attempted' to pass ahead, and thereby rendered a collision inevitable- The schooner put her helm hard-a-port, but the steamer ran athwart her hawse, and struck her such a violent blow that she afterwards foundered. The steamer represented that she saw the tchooner three points on her port bow, distant from a quarter to half a mile. The schooner had no light exhibited. The helm of the steamer was ported and then put hard-to-port, and she paid off several points, but the schooner ran stem on into her. She charged the schooner with not kerpirg a proper lookout, not showing a light e and not porting her helm in sufficient time. Dr. Addamg and Dr. Twiss were heard for the schooner ; Dr. Beyford and Dr. Spinks for the steamer. The learned judge hav ing called the attention ,of his assessors (two of the brethren of the Trinity House) to the facts of the ca se,. The elder brethern said they were of opinion that the blame rested entirely with the steamer ; that it was her duty, on first observing the schooner, to ease and, stop her engines, and not to go on in the reckless manner' she did, especially in such a narrow channel. They were further of opinion that there was a great want of humanity' on the part of the master of the steamer in not having stopped his engines immediately when he saw the accident which had occurred. The learned Judge, having pro nounced against th e steamer, added that he concurred 10 all which the Trinity Master had said as to the want of humanity in Hot going back to look after the crew of the schooner. If the Trinity Masters had been of opinion that the schooner was to blame he never would have given the steamer her costs. DREADFUL EXPLOSION. On Saturday last the usually quiet and secluded town of Dorking, Surrey, became painfully excited by a disaster which, in addition to . tiestroying a large amount of property, caused serious, if not fatal, injuries to two or three persons. It seems that Mr. Knight, a surgeon and druggist, was in his shop, situated in High-street, with a boy employed by Mr. Knight and a female domestic. Mr. Knight was, we understand, preparing . 5 prescription, when all o f a su dd en a loud explosion took place. Several people rushed to the spot, when the pont boy was found fixed on some iron railings on the pave° meat in front of the house. He was insensible, and the upper part of his body covered with blood, which fl o wed from a terribl e woun d i n the head, caused by coming into contact with the iron posts, when he was blown through the window by the force of the explosion. The girl was found in the window where she had been forced. She was lying amongst the broken gl a ss, al was very severely injured. Mr. Knight himself escape ( ' with less injuries than the two other unfortunate per ° sons. The damage done to Mr. Knight's premises i 4 very considerable ; and the force of the explosion via, s . AO great that severa l of the aCjoining houses were mac,' shaken and injured. The exact cause of the explosioll is not known, but it seems to have been occasioned by, an escape of gas, As soon as possible after the disasters medical aid wa s p rocured, and the wounds having been dressed, the unfortun a t e sufferers, were conveyed t: their residences, where they now remain in a pitiable condition.
