Le Prem z , alt sense, and earned the best wishes of the people of Liverpool, had he listened to the reasonable suggestions and request of the leading members of the board, and postponed the closing of St. Martin's Cemetery for the period proposed. Looking at the question in all its bearings, one cannot help thinking that the love of lucre and the securing a high rate of fees have had more to do with Rector Campbell's conduct in the affair than any dread of disobeying the Order in Council. We are glad that the Burial Board acted in a spirit of becoming independence, and determined not to be compelled to adopt an injurious cours3, but to take steps to obtain suitable land for a cemetery in the most eligible locality. The Wavertree local Board of Health held its usual monthly meeting last night, and, among other matters, resolved that the fire hose of the district should be renewed, and Mr. Hewitt consulted on the subject. News from the United States somewhat later than that brought by the Canada, and published in yesterday's NORTIIERN TIMES, reached the Mersey yesterday by the Cunard screw steamer Etna. The civil war in Kansas was still raging, and the entire territory was in a state of the utmost commotion.

The failure of the Royal British Bank has caused a want of confidence in monetary circles, and, as a matter of course, much stringency is observed in discount ing bills for commercial purposes. Notwithstand ing this drawback our Cotton Market continues to manifest symptoms of increased activity. The demand is good, and both speculators and exporters operate to some extent. Today very full prices were paid, and sales footing up 10,000 bales were reported, the market closing with firmness. For the reasons alluded to above, and following in the wake of the Consul Market, our Railway Stock and Share Market has been rather depressed today. Towards the close of business more con fidence sprung up, and the market closed with a slightly improved tendency. Referring to the official report of the actual sales, we note the fol lowing :-Caledonian, 26, 25,1. Eastern Counties, 94, 9. Great Western, 64k. Lancashire and York shire, 97, 968, 7-„ 7.

"No particular change has occurred in the Money Market since our last circular," say Messrs. T. and H. Littledale, in their monthly report issued this morning :-" The demand for commercial purposes, as well as on the Stock Exchange, has been active, and the rates of discount fully sup ported, but the supply appears equal to the demand, and short first class bills have been done under the Bank rate. The movement in bullion for the month has again been extraordinary in extent-the drain still going to France, China, and the East Indies, the export by the last overland mail being 800,0001-but so long as the supply continues on its present scale (and there appears little fear of its diminution) these movements do not create the apprehension of derangement in our finances as formerly." We may here quote the general remarks contained in this elaborate corn menial epitome :-" The past month has been particularly free from excitement or even movement of any kind, political, social, or commercial ; after the first week the weather became wet and broken, and continued so to the beginning of the past week, which put a check to operations of all kinds, and tended to moderate the sanguine opinions enter tamed of the result of the harvest. The last week has been fine, and the damage checked at the moment it was becoming serious- a large breadth of land is now being cleared every day, and though the quality of the Corn will be injured, the quan tity, taking Wheat, Barley, and Oats together, for the United Kingdom, will be above an average. The Potato crop is no doubt greatly injured, probably much more so than last year, and there have been some speculative purchases of Rice in consequence. The general trade of the country is healthy and active, but without excitement of any kind. The exports of the first seven months of the year have exceeded those of any previous period, and are 12,673,937/. in excess of those of 1855." The Consol Market has been heavy:•all day, and the dealings limited, but prices did not undergo any material decline. Consols fur the account opened at 941 and were done at 944. For money the opening price was marked at 941. They then rose to 95, but afterwards receded to 941, few buyers being inclined to operate at that quotation. There was a fall in the new Throe per Cents. The first price of the day was 958, then 951 was paid, after which they fell to 951, few dealings being effected at that rate. Exchequer Bills were held at 13 to 16 premium. The closing prices were 04 11-16 to 94 13-16 for money and account. New Three per Cents, 951 to 958. Exchequer Bills, 13s to 16s premium. In the London Share Market the business trans_ acted was limited. In some instances, better prices were paid than in Liverpool. Among the transactions reported we note Caledonians at 511 to 52.

The Produce Markets, both in Liverpool and London, are exceedingly quiet, and sales of Tea, Sugar, and Coffee, at either places limited. Respecting the Sugar Trade, we quote from Messrs. T. and H. Littledale's circular as follows The Sugar Market has been extremely dull throughout the month, and brown descriptions have declined is to 2s per cwt. The high prices which have, ruled for some months have influenced larger supplies than were generally looked for, and the stocks in the tour ports maintain the excess of 20,000 tons, which we mentioned in our last circular. The trade generally hold light stocks, and with the experience of last autumn, and an indifferent fruit season, they will, most likely, continue to do so. The consumption is admitted to be under that of last year, but we look for a steady consumptive demand, and with anything like judgment on the part of the London holders, present prices may be maintained for some months. We understand the customs are demanding 17s Gd per cwt duty on white Benares ; this is a direct breach of faith, and an unwar ranted imposition—the matter having been freely dis cussed and settled five years ago, and should be resisted to the utmost. The season is now on for this class of sugar arriving in this country, and the unfortunate importer is to be mulct to the extent of 2s 6d per cwt without any notice, at the caprice of some London official. The - arrivals of Molasses have been heavy, and prices have declined Is per cwt;' middling West India worth 21s, and good Barbadoes and Antigua, 22s Bd. According to the same authorities, the stocks of tea in this country are excessive, viz-10,387,739 lbs in Liverpool, against 9,180,503 lbs same time last year ; and 63,030,730 lbs in London, against 56,122,937 lbs same time in 1855. the port of Liverpool.

The Consul General of Buenos Ayres in London has advertised the regulations resolved upon by the Government of Buenos Ayres for the colonisa tion of Bahia Blanca and Patagoni z. C-rauts of land are to be made, and the immigration of marriedl settlers is especially encouraged. At the same time Bahia Blanca is declared a free port for merchant vessels under all flags, and is to enjoy free trade for five years. On examining more closely the late files of papers from Victoria, we find some curious results as to the import trade of the colony. The necessaries of lifehave increased with most surprising rapidity. The value of the butter and cheese imported in 1850 was but 6601, last year the value was 466,0001; candles amounted to but 1,0111 in 1850, in six years the demand had increased to 244,0001. Wheat, flour, and bread were not imported in the first year of the existence of the colony, or, if at all, to a very limited extent, and they are not entered in the official returns, but last year the consumption of the colony was equal to 1,550,0001 of these articles. Tho importation of oats increased in value from 2,5791 in 1850 to 316,0001 last year, and potatoes from 2,1701 to 316,0001 in the same period. In articles of luxury the increase in the value of the imports affords a good test of the growing wealth of the country; thus in 1850, carriages to the value of 1,7131 sufficed for the wants of the Victorians, but in 1855 the demand for these articles was sup plied by carriages of the value of 69,5361; jewellery was imported to the value of but 6501 in the earlier period, but in the latter the supply was equal to 47,6951, while clocks and watches increased from 688/ to 21,214/, The directors of the Royal Bank of Ireland have declared the usual dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum, with an increased bonus of six per cent., which makes the amount for division amongst the shareholders twelve per cent. for the current year. This very prosperous bank divided five per cent. in the first years of its existence, and has since been steadily augmenting its dividends and increasing its reserved fund. SUSPECTED ROBBERY BY A YOUNG LADY. MYSTERIOUS CASE. Emma Forman, the young woman who stood remanded on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery committed in March last, at the chambers of J. B. Holdsworth, of 5, Clement's Inn, Strand, was placed at the bar of Bow. street Police-court on Saturday, before Mr. Jardine, for further examination. Mr. Humphries, solicitor, stated that he attended to watch the case on behalf of Miss Arnott, the daughter of the head lodge-keeper of the inn, who was implicated by certain statements made by the prisoner at the last examination. The court was crowded to excess. The prosecutor's chambers were entered during his absence on the evening of the 28th March. One of the drawers in his bedroom had been forced open, and a pocket-book inside, containing a £2O note of the Bank of England and six sovereigns, robbed of its contents. Four months afterwards the note was paid into the Bank of England, and, upon enquiry, traced back to the possession of Mrs. Barnes, baker, in Chandos street, whose daughter, Isabella Barnes, deposed to having received it from the prisoner when she called to pay an account for her father, a respectable man, living in Harvey's-buildings, Strand, in June or July last. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, made a very extra ordinary statement respecting the daughter of Arnott, the lodge-keeper of the inn, at whose house Mr. Holds worth had left the key of his chambers on the night of the robbery. The following additional evidence was now taken :—Sergeant Thomas, of the F division, sworn : I apprehended the prisoner Forman on the 29th of August, in Harvey's-buildings, Strand, in consequence of a state ment made by Miss Barnes. I charged her with stealing a £2O note belonging to Mr. Holdsworth, of Clement's Inn. She said, " I did not do it." On our way to the police-station she said, " About the beginning of April last, as near as she could recollect, a young girl of the name of Betsy Arnott came to her in Harvey's-buildings, and gave her a parcel to mind : it was sealed with black wax and stamped in five different places. Arnott said it contained a brooch, given to her by a young man in the Temple-gardens. She (prisoner) kept the parcel by her three weeks, till one Sunday, on going up to dress for church, she missed it from her box. She told Miss Arnott this, when she called upon her next day, and she appeared much distressed at the loss of the parcel, saying it con tained a £2O note. After this they went together to a fortune-telling woman, named Dent, in Brydges-street, to confer with her about the loss of the note." Witness added that Dent was now in attendance. Mr. Jardine: Let her be examined. Alice Dent, a peculiar-looking, elderly woman, who stated she was a widow and a char woman, living at 7, Brydges.street, Covent-garden, then deposed as follows :—I know the prisoner Forman by the name of Emma. Some time in April last she came to me for advice, with the young lady now present (Miss Arnott), whom I had seen once before, but whose name I never knew till now. Emma said, "We have come for advice about a parcel which was taken out of mybox." Miss Arnott then said, "Emma never knew till this morning what was in the parcel. There was a £2O note and a sovereign. The note belongs to a French lady, a friend of mine, and I gave the parcel to Emma to take care of." I said, " God bless me ! How could you put a .t'2o note in a parcel in that way ? Do you know the number of it ? " Miss Arnott said, "No; hut I dare say the lady in France does." "Dear me I " I said, "France is a long way off, and what must be done? Is there anybody you suspect, or any one in the house who would take it for a lark ? " Emma (the prisoner) said, " Oh, no ; there is only my sister, and she would not do it." I said to Miss Arnott, "Why did you not go at onc e t o y our mo th er , an d t e ll her.? She replied, "My mother knows nothing about it, and I would not have her know it for the world. If father and mother knew it, I would never go home again." By Mr. Jardine : She distinctly stated that Emma never knew what was in the parcel till that day. Mr. Jardine : This is a very painful matter, but Miss Arnott must be placed at the bar. (Sensation in court.) Mr Humphries: Are you aware, sir, that Miss Arnott was examined as a witness in this case on a former day ? Mr. Jardine : I am perfectly aware of that. What she has stated as a witness, will not be received as evidence against herself. An officer then conducted Miss Arnott to the bar. She was dressed extremely well, and did not look more than seventeen. There was no ;appearance ;of distress in her manner. She walked firmly in the dock, and fixed her eye upon the witness somewhat viciously. Examination resumed : That is the young lady, Miss Arnott, to whom 1 have referred. I have never seen either of the girls since till now. Mrs. Dent was then cross examined at considerable length by Mr. Humphries. She said : The girls were both strangers to me by name, but I know them both by sight. Miss Arnott has been to me once before, but did not stop long, stating that her music master was waiting for her, and that she was in a hurry. The girls came to me for advice, because I am a motherly woman. They are not related to rile. I have no relations. Ido not profess to foretell the future. How could any one do that ? I earn my living by hard work. I have as a week coming in, and I make up the rest by oharing. I lost my husband and my daughter all the many years come May last, and it is well known how I struggled to rear his two children, who would not have had a morsel of food but for me, sir (crying.) I have lived a great many years in Brydges.street. I am universally known and universally respected. I never heard till now that I was called a fortune-teller, whoever said so. I certainly have told fortunes by turning the cards or the tea-cups, in a social way for a bit of fun. Women and girls like it. And if you came to me with your wife I might do the same for you—but only in fun. Of course you could believe what I told you if you were fool enough to do it. (Laughter.) The prisoner Arnott : Long before the robbery I went to this woman to have my fortune told, and she told me the most scandalous things. May I say what she told me? Mr. Jardine (to witness): Let me tell you that if you profess to tell fortunes you are liable to three months' imprisonment as a rogue and vagabond. Therefore you need not answer these questions without you like, or you may criminate yourself. Mr. Humphries: I suppose you knew this before, Mrs. Dent ? Witness : No, I did not. Miss Arnott : Yes she did, for she told me so. Witness : I never thought there was any harm in it. you (to Mr. Humphries) were a young man yourself once. Mr. Humperies : But lam an old man now. Witness : And old men like their fortunes told as well as the young ones. (A. laugh.) But I will nev er, never do it again, now that I know it is dangero us . Sergeant Thomas stated that Miss Arnott admitted to him that she had been with Forman to the old woman's in Brydges street, bnt she denied all knowledge of the note. She said that Forman was servant to her mother at the lodge formerly. Air. Holdsworth, the proQecutor, said that Arnott's mother a c t e d as laundress to him, ' and Forman had formerly assisted her at his chambers. Mr. Jardine said, I shall commit this case for trial, but there are two or three points about which I shall direct 'further enquiry, and for this purpose the prisoners must be remanded till Tuesday next. His Worship refused to accept bail for either. The weather continues to favour the completion of the harvest, and every where we hear of abun dant crops which are being rapidly secured, In fluenced by these considerations the grain trade is dull and depressed. To-day Mark Lane gave way in the price of Wheat to the extent of 4s. to Ds• per quarter, and Flour also was disposed of on lower terms. Owing to the uncertainty which pre vails as to whether the French Government will enlarge the term for allowing the freo importa tion of Corn, which expires on the first of January next, the Corn trade at Marseilles is somewhat paralysed, although two millions hectolitres of Wheat have been imported into Marseilles within the last two months, it will be impossible, it is said, to supply the deficiency which exists in France, and to execute the orders already received, by the end of the year. In the meantime, holders of Wheat keep back their stocks from market, and the pre sent high prices are maintained. Large quantities of Grain, we are told, continue to arrive on the coasts of Spain, and all apprehension of a scarcity has vanished. We understand that Mr. Robert McKean, of New City Chambers, Bishopsgate street, London, formerly connected with the firm of Lamont, McLarty & Co., whose suspension and bankruptcy was announced last week, has not been connected with that house since 1854. The Custom Bill of Entry, issued this morning, gives the usual weekly return of the commerce of FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The Moniteur contains another telegraphic des patch from the French 111;nister at Berne, on the Neufchatel affair, which having been forwarded this morning must have reached you before this. According to it you will see that the republicans of La Chaux de Ford, with assistance of a squadron of federal cavalry in garrison at Colombier, de feated the royalist insurgents, after half an hour's combat, but it appears that the loss of the latter was much greater than at first supposed, fifteen, not twelve, having been killed, thirty wounded, and 300 made prisoners. The federal troops, the des. patch adds, did not arrive till after the republicans of Le Chaux had triumphed. The Swiss papers that have arrived today do not give any long account of the affair. It appears, however, that the insurgents were aston ished at being so promptly attacked by the republicans. The latter were under the orders of Colonel Denzler, On setting out they were only five hundred strong, but they were joined by large reinforcements before reaching the town. The conflict between them and the royalists is represented to have been very san guinary, but no details of it are given. One of the papers, the Swisse . says, that the loss of the royalists was twelve killed and fifty wounded, and that of the republicans was not known. Count de Pourtales, the chief of the insurrection, was wounded. When the Federal authorities arrived, the members of the local government who had been arrested were set at liberty, and re-established in their places. The Federal.. Council of Switzer land has decided that the insurgents shall be brought to trial for high treason. Although the insurrection was so promptly put down, the Federal troops were to remain in occupation of Neutchatel. The following were the proclamations of the in surgent chiefs : TUESDAY, rtlittn firm SEPTEMBER 9, 1856 THE DAY'S NEWS A gracious Providence continues to favour us with seasonable weather, enabling the farmer to bring to a satisfactory termination the labours of the harvest, and secure the abundant crops with which the earth teems. This has already exercised a sensible effect upon our corn markets, and we find, by our reports from Mark Lane, and all the leading corn exchanges throughout the United Kingdom, that prices of breadstuffs are daily receding. This is satisfactory as far as it goes, but it is somewhat singular, that bakers and flour dealers continue to maintain the price of bread at a point which gives to the working classes but little advantage. There mutt be something wrong, when flour drops nearly 10s a sack, and the bread made therefrom is neither better in quality, nor cheaper in price. The miller and the retailer play into each other's hands, and thus continue to maintain exorbitant prices, and compel the con sumer to submit to their trade conspiracies. We have often thought that a law might be devised I would put a stop to such iniquitous d )ther countries have considered the matter—one market or selle avaricious tr s from beii dishonest dealer regulation—and we do not find that ice of bread, according to tho he raw material fr )m which any injury upon either buyer restrained the cupidity of and protected the poorer unprincipled and Our paper to-day contains a report of the first meeting of the Parochial Burial Board.

The mining intelligence was of a very cheering character, and the crops throughout the state most prolific. There is later news from Nicaragua, which represent matters in that quarter as remaining unsettled, and Walker's position was becoming more and more precarious. We should have observed, that the papers by the Etna give us something like a fair idea of the extent of the late storm in the United States, and which appears to have reached from one end of the Union to the other. We epitomise the particulars as follows : In Massachussetts there was a gale on — the Bth ult., which, for duration and intensity, exceeded anything known there for a great many years. Over forty buildings were struck by lightning, includ ing churches and others of a public nature. : In some towns, the damage by the lightning, wind, and rain, was very great, particularly in Wentworth, where property to the value of near 20,000 dollars was destroyed. Railroads in that state suffered most severely, by having trees blown over their tracks, End bridges washed away, travel was, in consequence, much im peded. In new Hampshire the storm was most severe, blowing down barns and farm houses, and destroying vast quantities of grain. The river rose to an extraordinary height, particularly the Merrimac, which rose eleven feet above its usual height. In New York and Pennsylvania, the storm prevailed with more or less intensity. In Phil_ adelphia the lightning struck several buildings, electrify ing numbers of persons, but without fatal results. In Vir ginia they were visited by a violent storm and flood, which completely submerged a large portion of the town of Harrisonburg, sweeping away several houses and contents. In Maryland, New Jersey, and Delaware, more or less damage was done to the growing crops, many houses had all their window glasses blown out, or were unroofed, and hail fell in large quantities. In Ten nessee, a storm also raged on the Bth, which is described as having been terrific. Three trees in front of a dwelling-house in Clarksville were struck by light ning, and set on fire. In Mississippi we learn that a storm, which for severity has scarce ever been equalled, commenced on Sunday, the 10th, and continued for three days, doing immense damage to the cotton crop. In the Northern parishes of Louisiana the same storm committed universal havoc. Cotton and corn which, a few days promised such ample harvest to planters, are prostrate, so much damaged that the yield is previous reduced to at least one-third. Cane„where not flattened to the ground, it is said, will not be much injured. Turning to our Continental advices, we find matters in France are devoid of any political signi ficance, and, according to the statement of our well-informed Paris Correspondent, the Emperor has intimated, through his diplomatic representa tive at Naples, that, in order to avoid a rupture, King Bomba must, without delay, set about some measures of reform to his ill governed and oppressed subjects. The Paris papers are, for the most part, engaged in corn upon the late attempt at :Neufchatel, various accounts of The coronation of the has taken place at Moscow. The only particulars which have reached us will be found in another part of this day's paper. Our last advices from Lisbon state that Count de Sobral had been appointed Civil Governor of that city, in the room of De Ponta, which, it was expected, would be attended with good results. According to our Madrid letters all apprehensions :of a scarcity of food had vanished, as large quantities of grain continued to arrive in the ports of Spain. From Turliey we learn that the Turkish Pasha, accused of the murder of the young girl at Varna, had been set at liberty, although the investigation of the crime is not yet over granting mentin which give the affair In the case of the Isaac Webb, hence to New York, for landing the crew after being passed by the Emigration officer, a fine of 250/, has been inflicted, which would have been much more severe but for its being the first case in which the bond has been enforced, and the captain admitting his liability. THE COURT BALMORAL, Sept. 4.—Her Majesty the Queen drove out yesterday, attended by the Marchioness of Ely. The Prince Consort went out on the hill deer-stalking. Sspr. s.—The Queen, the Prince Consort, and the Princess Royal, attended by the Earl of Clarendon, Major-General the Honourable C. Grey, and Colonel the Hon. C. Phipps, drove yesterday to the woods of Abergeldie, which were driven for deer. The Prin cess Alice drove out. In the evening the Princess Amalie of Hohenlohe Schillingfurst joined the royal dinner party. SEPT. 6.—The Queen drove out yesterday, attended by the Marchioness of Ely. The Prince Consort was upon the hill, deer stalking. The Duke of Cambridge, attended by Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. J: Macdonald, arrived upon a visit to her Majesty. Baron Marochetti also arrived, and had the honour of dining with her Majesty. OSBORNE.—The Prince of Wales made his debut as a sportsman on Monday last, the Ist inst., in the Osborne covers, where there is plenty of game. His Royal Highness is likely to prove a good shot. --.--.....-. ACCIDENT TO Loan ERNEST VANE.—On Thursday afternoon, his lordship was driving four-in-hand along the Lewes road, towards the Preston barracks, when. from some cause the horses, which were high-spirited animals, darted on one side, and ran the coach on to a small bank beside the road, causing it to overturn on an elderly female, who was so much injured as to render her removal to the hospital necessary. His lordship, and the gentlemen and grooms on the coach were pre cipitated into the road, but neither, we believe, received One horse was hurt and the coach serious Injury slightly damaged, but not to an extent to prevent his lordship from taking the reins again. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.-At the grand concert at George's Hall, were the Viconti and Vicontis Chambour (who were on their way to London, and stopping at the Waterloo-hotel), accompanied by the Spanish interpreter, Don Francisco Towaso, " WITH GOD, FOR THE KING AND COUNTRY, " Neufchatelese ! The hour of deliverance has at last arrived, let the cry of " Long live the King !" be your rallying cry. To arms, faithful people ! I declare the territory of the Principality in a state of siege. Each commune will provide for the immediate establishment of a committee which will exercise authority in the name of the King, and inform the authorities of the arsenal of its having entered on its functions. " COUNT F. DE POURTALES, Colonel Commander-in-Chief. " " La Sagne, 2nd Sept. " Long live the King ! The King's flag floats anew from the arsenal of our Neufohatelese princes ! Let us render thanks to God ! " To one faithful people ! " DE MEIIRON, Lieutenant-Colonel, " Commanding the first three Districts." The republicans, on their part, published the following proclamation : " Neufchatel, 3rd Sept, " Citizens of the Neufchatelese Republic !—A violent attack has been made on the Republic, the Constitution, and the laws. The Council of State and the Prefect were arrested last night by a troop of royalists, armed with muskets and swords, amidst cries of Long live the King !' The Town Hall and the grand house of the police are in the bands of the insurgents. This affair will soon receive its chastisement. But every minute that passes is like a drop of shame drunk by the country ! Let republicans and honest citizens march resolutely in defence of the honour, dignity, and name of the Republic ! Long live the Republic ! Long live the Constitution ! Long live the Confederation !" When the news of tho rising reached Berne, the President of the Confederation, in the name of the Council of State, sent a circular to the Cantonal Government, informing them of what had taken place, and of the measures adopted for tho re establishment of order. This insurrection is naturally the great talk of the day. I told you, yesterday, that the French government did not look on it at all with a favourable eye, because it was on behalf of Prussia, and Prussia is not held in much esteem in govern mental regions here. I am assured, in corrobo ration of yesterday's statement, that when the editors of the semi=official journals applied for instructions as to what side of the question they were to support, they were answered somewhat tartly—" How can it be supposed that the French government can be in favour of insurrection anywhere !" It is strongly believed here, that the rising was got up by the Prussian government, or rather by the Prussian court; and the belief gains strength from the fact, that a Berlin letter tells us that royalist deputations from the Principalities had frequently been received by the King, and that the moment the news of the rising arrived at Berlin, it was sent off hot haste to his Majesty. The letter asserts, that it was believed that the King would support the revolution. Perhaps his Majesty would have done so, if he had succeeded ; but it is very improbable that he will think of doing anything for it, now that it is defeated. Its failure, however, must be gall and wormwood to him; for the re-establish ment of what he calls " his rights" over Nufechatel has always been one of his darling objects. People of liberal opinions in this city admire greatly the energy with which the Republicans of La Chaux de Fonds took upon themselves, with out waiting for the action of the Federal authori ties, to vindicate the outraged law, and to re-estab' lish "order." PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING The Swisse, of Berne, which has arrived to day, says that the precise loss of the insurgents at Nufeohatel,was fifteen killed and eighteen wounded. One of the killed, it adds, was a young Count de Pourtales, and the Count F. de Pourtales, the chief of the insurrection, who is in custody, is repre sented to be dangerously wounded. The number of prisoners at first taken was J 00, and since then it has greatly increased. The Swisse says :—" The republicans are exasperated. It is difficult to say the great energy which Col. Denzler and the federal commissioners had to display to restrain the patriots, they threatened to exterminate the Prus sian party. The printing-office of Wolfrat, in which the Neufchatelois, the royalist organ, was published, was sacked and burned down." The battalions of Vaud and Berne had arrived ; Colonel Denzler remained in command of the republicans, Colonel Bourgeois in that of the Federal troops. The French minister at Berne, Count de Salignae had had an interview with M. Statnpfli, President of the Federal Council, but the nature of it was not known. The pretext of the royalist insurgents is:that the republican government oppressed them with unjust taxes. Several of the principal aristocratic families of Neufchatel emigrated some years ago in order to escape republican domination. I riFrace there ia u lathing stirring of importance. The government, T hear, has determined not to reply to the second note of the Neapolitan Court, but to direct its ambassador at Naples, M. Breneir, to hint very broadly to the King that, if he will not mend his ways, he must expect a rupture of diplo matic relations. The Siecle, the republican journal, has, within the last few days, published several articles in which it showed, from various extracts from the writings of the Emperor, that he was in favour of liberty, and that, consequently, liberty ought to be accorded. Tho semi-official organs, the Pays and the Constitutionel, published some sharp replies ; the Siecle retorted, and a very pretty quarrel seemed imminent ; but the Government has put an end to it, by ordering its two organs to give no reply to anything the Siecle may say. It evidently thinks liberty a dangerous thing to talk about. That indefatigable Bonapartist, M. Louis Couture, wh o , b y hi s speec h es an d writings, took a leading part in preparing the way for the establish ment of the Empire, and who, by pen and tongue, has defended it as warmly since, has, I hear, just presented to the Senate two petitions, praying that the deliberations of that bod y may b e public, and that the jury may be re - established for the trial of offences of the press. M. Couture adduces various weighty arglimeuts in support of his petitions, but what he dem an d s i s too liberal for the Imperial regime. Still, it is not a little curious that an ardent Bonapartist should have thus become suddenly liberal:—Does he foresee that the reign of liberty is once again ap proaching in France ? The same gentleman also petitions the Senate to make it compulsory on Frenchmen, and especially' on ministers and officials, to call themselves " subjects," instead of citizens—an epithet to which they cling, though they possess nothing of what makes men citizens; A cashier of the Northern Railway has absconde d with a large sum of money, it is not known how, much, even by the directors of the company itself An investigation is now going on, and the dire° tors are very [anxious that nothing should be said about the matter in the French papers, bu t this is not a reason for an English journal keepos back a fact of so much importance. The a mount is variously estimated at from £20,000 to £40,0 00 sterling, but this can only be a mere guess. It is known that Prince Napoleon did not mak° his voyage in the north anything like so long as he intended. The reason, I am informed, is, that it was deemed prudent to recal him, on account the disquietude which at one time was felt about the Emperor. The return of the Emperor and Empress from Biarritz is not to take place until the Ist October., The quantity of Algerian cotton of the crop e . l 1855, to be sent to Algeria for sale, is 70 14 ' kilogrammes (the kilogramme is rather more tbs.! ) 2 lbs ) Thus, you see that, in a few years, it Is almost certain that Algeria will be a large cotton producing country. No change worth noticing has taken place in the commercial situation of the country during th e past week. The Prince Regent of Baden has assumed th e title and dignity of Grand Duke. His elder brother, to whom they lawfully belong, is an idi ot ' The Madrid Gazette of the 3rd, which has arrffe' to-day, contains the royal decree for dissolving th e Cortes, and the report on which it is founded. Th ° , latter is of great length. It accuses the Cortes °' having exceeded their powers, of being wanting 111 wisdom and modesty, etc. It also says, that the present is a favourable opportunity for actiog energetically with regard to the Parliament. P.S.--Some of the Swiss letters, and even 0 1 ° of the journals which have arrived here, expre es . fears that the insurrection at Neufchatel Ws: encouraged more or less secretly by several of th e leading Powers ; and that, consequently, the violent suppression of it will lead to grave comp cations. From all I hear, however, in W e informed quarters of this city, I do not think ales'. events any ground for such apprehension. THE CORONATION AT MOSCOW. MOSCOW, SUNDAY, SEPT. 7 ' His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Alexan der IL was solemnly crowned to-day, at twelve o'clock' The ceremony took place in the UspeDS d Ssobor, and the act of coronation was perforioe by Archbishop Philaretes, the Metropolitarl ° Moscow.
