In consequence of somemishap, onr Own Paris corres. pcn.leuce of Wednesday has not reached us to-day. We therefore 'subjoin the following. from a London evening PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING cotempo I have every reason to belieie in the truth of the state ment which I transmitted yesterday, that the French Emperor connived at the Prussian insurrectim in Neuf.: chatel. At Berlin the government, instead of disclaimins: atly:part in Ole most cliscreditabie attempt, and condemn ing its authors openly, avows its intention to take the opportunity to bring forward the:PrussiaticlaiMS, "with the view of re-establishing legal order in the canton." As if order and legality had been disturbed by anybody but Pourtales and his royalist followers! _ _ the Suisse of Berrie annOtiriceg that M. de Sidow, the Prussian* Minister to the Helvetic Confederation (wild, for a long while past, has been non resident at his post), as sent a note td the federal government reiterating the reserve made by 'Prussia in 1848' of ail her rights in the principality of Neufchatel. According to the sentiments Uttered in government circles here, it is always lawful to rise against republican Institutions; however well settled they may be, and however peaceably they may v.^- 1- . A short time ago, a ,letter from Bteilian parliament appeared- in ex-m6mber of t o o ldvocating M. Manins 'eat Wes scheme Of an organised refusal to riaq taxes means of peaceful agit hich &Olt gp far_to force the King of Naples to subm yoked Meet objedion; man , declaring that the Neapolitan gdverninent would simply Arrest and punish ail individuals who might attempt to act upon it, and that there the matter would end. With out desiring to offer any opinion upon so very difficult a question, I advert to it to-day merely' for the purpose of saying that, according to letters just received from Lom bardy, the efficacy of the mode of resistance in question is now being tried there under circumstances of much greater difficulty.than it would have to endonnter in the Neapoli tan states. In the first plaCe, the Austfiati government is, much stronger than that of Naples, and, moreover, the refusal, to pay takes in Austrian Italy can only be justified upon the extreme plea, which all governments must necessarily hold' to be , inadmissible, that the Austrian rule is so oppressive as to make resistance a duty; whereas the essence of the scheme; as applied to the Two ,Sicilies, was its legality. The subjects of the King cif Naples have a constitution which he daily'violates, and the taxes which he exacts from them are, beyond all doubt, unlawfully levied. But in Austrian Italy there is no shadow of a constitution to appeal to. Nevertheless, it • appears that in .Eirescia the refusal to pay taxes has been organised on an extensive scale, and, according to the - latest news, the government is unable to find buyers for the property which it seizes in deiault of payment. At the Bourse the upward movement of yesterday was paralysed by the news that the principal German banks had raised their discount, and that the Bank of , England would probably take a similar step to-morrow. The fall of per cent. in Consols was, however, thought by some to be accounted for by arrangements connected with the suspension of the Royal British Bank. The Rente, after some fluntuation, closed at 70fr. 75c. for cash, and 70fr. 85c. for account with a fall of 150. and 30e. Credit Mobilier fell 12fr. 50c. The Northern Railway fell lefr., and was much depressed. owing to the avowal by the com pany of the large amount of the defalcations of their cashiers. to reforms. . The plan pro- , liberals of different Shaded This morning four siege artillery guns, four field pieces, and several mortars taken at Sebastopol arrived at the luvalides, where they may be seen by the public. The Isly steam screw frigate, and the Primaguet steam corvette are under orders to proceed to Cronstadt, to await the arrival there of Count de Morny on his return to France. The Emperor and Empress (says the Messager de Bayonne) attended mass in the new chapel on Sunday. In the afternoon his Majesty, accompanied by M. Laity, drove into Bayonne in a light Americaine. The Emperor alighted at the entrance of Allees-Marines, and walked as far as the bar, which he examined with minute- interest, and directed particular attention to that part where the new quays are about to be commenced. The Emperor walleed fora distance of upwards of three - ,miles on the sands and on the arrow extremity of the jetties, and then got into one of the boats of the Newton, which was in waiting near the Lazaretto, and returned by water to the place where the carriage had been left. In the evening, after the dinner, there was a reception, and dancing was kept np until one o'clock in the morning. Their majesties gaily led off in a boulangere and a carillon de Dunkerque. SPAIN The Madrid Gazette does not contain any document deserving of notice. ; To the rumours of a misunderstand ing in the Cabinet, which had gained much credit in political circles, the government replies, in the semi official sheet, that the most perfect harmony prevails . Nevertheless, every one continues to believe that some remarkable change is at hand. There are some who even give the name of the successor of O'Donnell. The ques tions which may develop the crisis are the return of Christina, and the opposition of certain members of the cabinet to the measures of the finance minister, who is disposed to hasten by all means the sale of the property of amortisation. In the Basque provinces the sale of the property of the clergy is not pressed, but it is proceeding vigorously in the other provinces. The met d'orcire, sent from Toledo to all the bishops, is to imitate the conduct of the clergy of France under similar circumstances, and to employ spiritual weapons to hinder the peasantry from bidding. The Bishop of Santander has taken the initiative. He has addressed a circular to all the cures of his diocese, enjoining them to refuse absolution and the sacraments of the church to the purchasers of clerical property, their wives, and their children. It is said that this circular has been read publicly in the churches. If other prelates should imitate him of Santander, it is to be feared that the price which the property has obtained will not be again realised, for want of competition. Smuggling is carried on everywhere upon a very extensive scale. A leading journal gives an official report of the seizures effected in that district. In April there were eighteen v. - ssels with prohibited and other goods of the value of 242,578 reals ; in May twelve vessels, with goods valued at 52,923 reals ; in June nine vessels and six ranks with goods valued at 214,791 reals. Any one who is at all acquainted with the Spanish custom-house officers may form from the above, an idea of the enormous quantity of goods which must have passed either by deceiving the officers or by purchasing their connivance. lined to hold out to I eutlemen can be accommonatea statesmen can ithont board, in the home of the it in a village a short hpr lw railway or writ tance from s.

The Harlungsche gives the following news from St. Petersburg, dated Sept. 9 :—The Czar has published a manifesto on the occasion of his coronation. Bronze medals have been given to the Russian soldiers who served in the war of the East. These medals will be hereditary as respects the heads of noble families. Special exemptions from taxes are decreed in favour of the Russian provinces on the coasts. They will also be exempted from the obligation of furnishing recruits for the next four years. An amnesty is granted for the events of 1825, 18 - 27, and 1831. The confiscations, however, which were made on those occasions are maintained. All the rest is remitted. The taxes will be assessed according to a new census of the population. A. letter from St. Petersburg of the 31st states that two officers belonging to each of three branches of military instruction—the academy, the staff, the engineers and the artillery—are to be sent to foreign countries to study military science and organisation. Very adequate means will be placed at the disposal of these officers. A lieutenant colonel will receive 3 222 silver roubles a year ; a captain, 2,357 roubles ; and a lieutenant, 2,254. Each of these will also be allowed 1,027 roubles for his outfit. It is generally reported that the relations of Russia and Sweden have been of late anything but friendly. and that the Swedish ambassador sent by the court of Stockholm to the coronation could not fail to have noticed the coolness which exists between the two Statesl AUSTRIA A decree of the Minister of Worship recommends the heads of the Protestant churches of Hungary to discuss with the mostst entire liberty the project of law concerning the definitive regulation of the situation of the Protestant con fessions of Hungary. The Ost-Dostsche Post, contradicting its first version of the second Neapolitan note, says that it is only more con ciliatory in form, that in substance its conclusions are the same as those of the first. Austria, alone, it adds, has hitherto prevented a stronger pressure on the part of the Western Powers. A Vienna journal, the Ost-Deutsche Post, publishes a furious philippic against Sardinia, declaiing that country to be in a state of war with Austria. " Does war," says the Post," consist merely in a violation of tsrri ^ Does international r i g ht permit a government to ,elf up to a series of acts in opposition to another country that are an overt provocation to revolt ? This state of things is intolerable. Diplomacy ill be compelled to take the matter up, or else instigators .next spring the exasperalion of the masses, wh om the w00..1 be *finable to restrain, may change this or that spot in Italy into a f -1d of battle." PRUSSIA M. Techen, charged with stealing, some time since, official despatches from the Foreign-office, at Berlin, has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The trial took place with closed doors, but all the Berlin journals publish a communi cited paragraph, stating that it came out clearly in the proceedings, that Techen had obtained these despatches for the use of foreign governments, and it is hinted that the secrecy of the trial was to some extent dictated by regard for the governments, which would have been discredited by publicity. ck, at the Brokers' to Messrs.

Consols for kccount opened at 944-, rose to 1, then receded to 1, and afterwards regained their highest point, 944. The first price for money was 941 ; a rise to 941 was established, but afterwards a reaction took place, and the rates quoted were 94 and 941..

The Shalimar arrived June 23, damaged by a gale. The Atalanta ; from Liverpool, had arrived in 79 days. Trade continued largely in favour of the colony. At Forest Creek two tons of quartz had yielded 533 minces of gold. In New Zealand the natives fought with the British troops at Naranauki on the 3d May, and eighteen were killed. Gold had been discovered!near.Nelson, and a large lode of copper at the height of 1,800 feet on the Dun mountain. We find in one of the Melbourne papers, of the 24th June, the following -remarkS respecting the mishap to the Shalamar :—" The royal mail shin Shalimar, of the White Star line of pactets, anchored in Hob son's Bay early on the morning of the 23d June. Captain - 17 , .r0wn reports that the ship had been baffled by E.N.E, winds, since the 9th of June, and was thus pre vented making northwards. Oft the Melbourne coast the Shalimar had also been unfortunate, and in a gale of wind to the east of King's Island, which lasted five days, she carried away the jib-boom, split the mainsail, main_topsail, sky sail, and sustained other severe injury, To the fact of going so far southward, Captain Brown attributes his somewhat protracted passage, and agrees with what has fallen from almost every commander of ships that have recently arrived in Melbourne from England, that the run is not only made more lengthy in consequence of the preva lence of the north-east winds, but dangerous to the ship and excessively annoying and uncomfort able to the passengers.' Mr. C. G. Duffy was lecturing on the ballad poetry of Ireland at Melbourne to large audiences. The Hall of the Mechanics' Institute being unable to contain a tithe of the parties seeking admission. The committee of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, at their weekly meeting on the 16th of 'June, took into consideration the statements in the Argus summary for England, per Joseph Tarratt, to the effect that the " arrival of the Royal Charter in fifty-nine days from Plymouth had effected a com plete change in public opinion on the subject of routes." The unanimous opinion of the committee was that no such change of opinion had taken place, that it was premature to infer the superiority of screw clippers from one successful trip, and it was observed that whatever advantages these vessels present for goods or passengers, that the overland route, which could be traversed in forty four days, must command a decided preference for the transmission of mails. We think our Melbourne friends are hard to please if they are not satisfied - arith the trip of the Royal Charter, unequalled as it is by any sailing ship or steamer afloat. A petition is in course of signature to his Ex cellency the Acting Governor, praying him not to sanction the appropriation of any portion of the reserve known as the South-park, for the pur poses of a cemetery for the municipality of Emerald Hill. The petition states that such a determination as that alleged, about to be arrived at, with respect to a portion of the reserve, is a mal appropriation of the intents and purposes for which it was set apart: The reserve was fenced in at a cost of 11,000. The petition-is lying for signature at the Chamber of Commerce and elsewhere. The agitation for the adoption of the eight hours' system of labour was continued, and au enthusi astic meeting had been held at Geelong. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE MELBOURNE, 24th June.—Little change has taken place in prices generally. Business has been, and still is, dull and inactive, but this, we think, arises mainly from the season of the year, and may be termed periodical dullness. At the same time, though comparatively but little is doing, the markets are healthy, and holders, with a few exceptions, are not inclined to submit to any lower rates. The probable close of the war will throw a large amount of tonnage into competition, and thus materially reduce the rates of freights. This will induce extended shipmen's to the advancing colonies of Australia, but, as doubt'ess a large immigration will accompany them, this prospect does not appear to intimidate holders, and the general impression appears to be that in the Spring a steady demand will be found for all coming suitable goods. Little variations have taken place. LIQUORS : Brandy has become very firm, and a slight advance boa taken place with a still upward tendency. A parcel of United V. Co.'s of about 100 hhds, has been sold to arrive at 13s 6d. Whiskey is now freely offered. Old Tom in bulk and case continues scarce. In wines : sherries continue at our last quotations, but ports, (particularly of finer growth) are still looking up. In bulk beer trade is dull, Bass's No. 3, worth £lO, being the index of the value of other brands. In bottled beer some large transactions have been effected during the last few days at 12s for best brands, ale and porter in proportion. The demand for bulk porter is evidently decreasing, a colonial compound having been introduced at a much cheaper rate. Several sales by auction of syrups and liquers have taken place. TOBACCO, CIGARS, &0,, are a trifle lower, sales of Barrett's having been effected as low as is 7d, while No. 2 Manilas have changed hands at 48s and 493. GROCERIES, Oilmen's Stores, &c.—Prices are scarcely ma!ntained, several arrivals both of tea and sugar having come to hand ; and while we believe offers for large parcels of the former, at a shade under our quotations would not ba refused, the late and the expected arrivals from Mauritius tend to keep buyers cautious of stocking themselves with the latter commodity. Coffee fully maintains quotations, with an upward tendency for better samples. Oilmen's stores generally are very dull. Hops remain inactive. Candles are declining from late high prices, and should arrivals con tinue heavy, they will further recede. A sale of Hale's at 1 , 6 d per lb. is reported. BREADSTUFFS.—FIour is quiet, with every prospect of a further decline, and as it is beyond all doubt that there is in South Australia a very much larger quantity of flour and wheat than can he possibly consumed there, large imports thence may be looked for, this market being the only outlet for this portion of the produce of that colony. An impres sion has gained ground that prices at Chilian ports will have given way to a very great extent, and that large ship ments will be made to these colonies in consequence. This feeling checks speculation, and there is little or no present demand for the gold-fields. Imported biscuits are very slow of sale, the low prices of flour nourishing the competition of colonial made, which are rising in public estimation. There is no change in the grain market, except that holders of oats are firmer. Good samples of barley are inquired for. The stocks of rice continue to accumulate, but importers are keeping out of the market. METALS : There is very little doing in this branch of trade. A sale of Staffordshire has been reported at £lB, but this must have been an exception. The demand for lead, sheet and pipe, increases , there being a disposition to speculate in this article. Sales of shear tin have taken place by auction at 7d per lb: Paontsrotas : The late arrivals of butter, hams, &c., have not only checked the advancing rates, but prices have declined and the previous demand has slackened. PAINTS, OILS, &o. : A slight decline is perceptible, the best quality only of white lead being saleable. Chinese oil has declined to 55, and as considerable quantities are on the way from Adelaide, a further decline will doubtless occur. SOFT GOODS : There is very little doing and quotations are consequently all but nominal. SUNDRIES : Pitch continues unaltered, a great portion of that on hand is mixed with " coal," and consequently nearly ustless ; new arrivals must take place ere improve ment in price can be quoted. The arrivals of slate has supplied the late demand, and this article is now quiet. There has been some speculation in American lumber, and for the parcels now in first hands a considerable advance is demanded. English coals of good quality are scarce and in demand, and there is some difficulty in giving an accurate price. A cargo of Newcastle (N.S.W.) changed hands at £2 15s in the Bay. Three-bushel bags are worth 20s per dozen. There have been large sales of American mining tools, slightly damaged by sea water, at which fair prices were realised. The stocks of American furniture are be. c)ming exhausted. MELIV)URNE 'WOOL MARKET : Our last was per " Joseph Tarratt," on the 7th inst., since w hich this market has fully maintained the advance in price then named. From the unsettled state of the weather during the last few weeks, Fellmongers have been unable to dry their wools, conse. quentiv the supply is n ow on a limited scale, and any good lots offering are readily taken up for remittances at our quotations, which are—For scoured, 18d to 22d per lb ; handwashed and slipe, 14d to 16d per lb; fleece (none o ff er ing). The quantity shipped has been as follows : From Oct. 10th, 1855, to May 31st, 1856, 10,846,253 lb. ; value, £697,280. From May 31st to June 14th, 208,439 ; value, £17,246. Total, 11,054,692 lb.; total value, £714,526. TALLow.—This article has declined in price, owing in a great measure to the general dullness of trade just now prevailing here, and from the impassable state of the roads to the various gold-fields, thereby checking the demand for local use ; and with the prospect of peace before us , we do not anticipate any enquiry for shipment for some time to ~ come. Our quotations are as follows : —Beef tallow, 436 L" £3B per ton ; mixed ditto, £ 4O to £ 42 p er ton ; lotto% ditto, £4B to £5O. Mon.—Very few are offering, and there is a goo d detaalla for shipment, prices are—Country salted, 13s each • ' C Ow° cured, 15s 6d to 16 s each. J. H.
