NEWS OF THE DAY.

Garibaldi was yesterday within three hours' march 'Of
Naples, and a considerable body of Royal troops, under
General'Bosco, was being concentrated at Capnai ready
to dispute his march upon the capital. A strong per-
suasion prevailed in Paris last night that a great battle
wonld.be fought yesterday; which would finally decide
the fate of Francis IL and his dynasty ; but we
incline to think that Garibaldi will, befor4 engaging,
afford to the Neapolitans an opporttinity for a little
"fraternising." The ring and his brothers, who are
to -use the French expression, "am milieu" of the
troops, do not talk of dying "in their midst," but of
retiring to Gaeta, if the fortune of arms be against
them. A good General does not neglect to secure the
means of retreat;bet he iiees not allude to the subject
in his order of the day.
In our Paris correspondence, allusion is made to the

dissatisfaction with which the mission entrusted by the

Pope to General Lamoriciere, of organising his herete-
rogeneous army 'and providing- for his defence, is viewed
by the Emperor Napoleon. The Emperor would plainly
like to enjoy the character, credit, and advantage of
being the sole protector of the throne of the successor of
St. Peter, whereas the appointment of Lamoriciere, one
of his most pertinacious political opponents, to a share
in the glories ei such a protectorate, not only offends
his jealous feelings, which are not yet wholly extinct,
but secures for his Holiness the possession of a certain
amount of independent action, which is quite foreign to
to the object which Napoleon 111. has in view in prop-
ping up the patrimony of the Holy See. This state of
things is doubtless present to the minds of those writers
in the Ministerial journals of Tarin who are saying in
behalf of the Piedmontese Government, that it cannot,
and will not, leave without protection, any part
of the Italian population which is exposed
to the assaults of a foreign force. At the
same time we would need to be cautious in
vicldinz to the belief that them is ..3 ri-^crAPI of the
Sardinian army attacking that of Larnoriciere so long
as the latter continues to act on the defensive. Count
Cavour has hitherto acted with remarkable prudence,
and has up to this moment played the very different
YO e which ha's been assigned to him, with an
absence of failure which would, we suspect, have
characterised.- the performance of few other liVing
statesmen. He is not likely to make shipwreck
of his well-earned fame by counselling an offen-
sive movement against Lamoriciere and his hordes,
while Garibaldi and hii volunteers are panting for
the opportunity of attacking them, and thus saving him
and his Government both from responsibility and fur-
ther embarrassment. The French troops are ready to
assist the Pope within certain limits, but they have no
instructions to help General Lamoriciere.

It will be_ obsurved that the Inland Revenue Report

for the year ending 31st March last, which has just
been published, 8-applies on the whole satisfactory evi-
dence of the increasing prosperity of the country.
There has been a considerable increase in the returns
from the tax on realised property, but the improvement
in the schedule of profits is very inconsiderable. Great.
complaints continue to reach the Exchequer of eva-
sions under this head, but no effectual iracticable
remedy for this discreditable evil has yet been dis-
covered. The revenue from spirits' has continued
steadily ,to increase, and it appears that the consump-
tion of malt has advanced continually since 1855. The
exports of our breweries and distilleries have also reached
a prodigious figure, and the produce of the hop fields,
owing to the extraordinary improvements which have
been introduced into the culture of the plant, appear,
to have been actually doubled within the last
five years, in spite of _ the growth of the hop
having, in the course of that period, • been
withdrawn from not less than 12,000 acres. The reve-
nue arising from the almost unlimited extension of the
penny stamp system promises to make a considerable
appearance in' the returns for the current year, and the
regulations area security against all evasion.
Barnet cattle fair was brought to a conclusion on

iiirrsday last. Th'a show of stock has been excellent,

'4i he incjuest•on the bodies of the unfortunate persons
killed by the, collision on the East Lancashire Railway
will not probably be concludcil speedily; as it will be
necessary to make the strictest inquiry
,into the, cause
of this terrible calamity. It is adjourned till this day,
Ten it is expected that the railway company will be
prepazed with their eviaenc'e. The broken link has
not been found; but search is being made for it.

About ..-5;500 volunteers, irrespective of the Bristol
and Birmingham men, have signified their intention to
be present at the great volunteer review on the 18th
September, at GlOucester. and the total miinher expeCtld
to be present is about 5,00 C--.

On Wednesday afternoon, about fifteen of the Phil-
burgh Garibaldian,Voluuteers, wearing scarfs of Stuart
tartan, left Coutts' Volunteer. Arms Hotel, Waterloo-
place, Edinburgh, marched thence to Granton, and
went on board the Princess Royal, for London, Where
they are to join the London company. There was a
arge assembly on the pier, who warmly testified their
admiration of the cause in which the volunteers are
about to engage by giving them three hearty cheers on
the sailing of the vessel. The band of the Leith Rifles
was also present, and, played several inspiriting :airs
appropriate to the occasion,
An account of a meeting of the Knowsley Review
Committee will befound among the'volunteei advertise-
ments in the front page of our paper. It contains a letter
from, the tight Hon. the Earl of Derby to Lieutenant-
Colonel Bourne, the chairman, in which the noble Earl
tenders his thanks to that gentle/nem—and-the-various
members of the committee, for their zealous and
efficient exertions in carrying out the arrangements
connected' with the review.

Three fires of an eltensive character took place in
different parts of London yesterday---one in Liverpool-
road, Islington ; another at Tottenham Wood -Farm,
Toitenham ; and a third in the Crescent, Minories.
The destruction of property in each case was consider-
able, and we regret to observe that. one of the inmates
of the house which was destioyed in Islington. Was
burnt to. death. Seven of the other: occupants of the
building narrowly escaped the same fate, having been
saved solely by the exertions of the police.

THE SCHOOL :VEPSUS THE GALLOWS.

R -
AT, noon to-day another 'Murderer meets his
doom. The fatal scene is.briefly enacted, and the
wicked ceases from troubling.ld! all is
over. The vital spark has fled, and the body of
the executed convict hangs lifeless during the
appointed-hour. What -a solemn lesson may be
read there of the destructive power of vice and
the awful consequences which may ensue from
entering upon a course of crime. Over and

over . again murderers Who have thus- met
their fate upon the scaffold have told us of
the time when their minds and lives were com-
paratively pure and innocent.. The -history of
their crimes • has • shown how gradually they
have been tempted into evil courses, each
succeeding step in their downward career tend-
ing only to harden their sensibilities and to
accelerate their progress towards the commission
of their next and still more aggravated offence.'
The time may have• been when instruction and
advice would have availed, but when subse-
quently plunged into the. thraldom of habitual
wickedness, neither admonition nor punishment
Could restore them: to rectitude. The life of the
criminal is most aptly illustrated by the growth
of
.a tree: The young, tender, and untrained
sapling will take any, shape or direction we
choose. The.firmly-maturedWoed may be broken,
but cannot be bent In ninetpnitie cases out of
cry' inindred of our criminal population we can
trace theConinaenCenient of their vicious life to- the
nemPlected condition of their early lives, from which
•
they hate grown up so very ignorant, and so imper-
fectly, if at all; trained to habits of itidUstry and
self-restraint, that they have been sooner or later,
reduced to the only alternatives'of perishing from
hunger and cold, or of preying upon society, for a
living, in defiance of all law and justice. If we
would teach men to regulate their passions as good
citizens, we must educate and train them soundly
While yet their Minds are young. d,pd susceptible.
That numerous class of juveniles who-have none:
to care for or instruct theni, mustbe gently seized
upOn and drawn into our Ragged Schools, where
they will receive a Christian edtiCatien and
industrial' upbringing. This is the best method
of cheating the gallthis of its- victims. While
to-day thousands will witness the terrible .spet-
tacle of a matured criminal suffering the awful
penalty of death, let us think of the tens of thou-
sands of juveniles infesting this great town,
Whom, by judicious and timely effort, We may
snatch from the vicious course impending over
them. •

Our readers can scarcely have forgotten the
eloquent and impressive appeal recently niade by
the Earl of DERBY on behalf of Ragged Schools
as one of the best means for the prevention of
crime. The new Ragged and Industrial School
and Church at Kirkdale, of which the first stone
was then laid, earnestly denjaricls the support of
all who lament the fearful increase of crime, and
who desire to perform their duty to society,
according to their means and opportunities. It
is in the power of every one to do something;
and that something, hthovever small, ought riot to
be Withheld. It is especially the duty of the
rich and princely merchants of LiVerpool to give
liberally to*ards this hnniati :and Christian
object. One of the easiest methods perhaps of

affording an opportunity to our church-going
population is that of church collections. We
are happy to notice, by way of a stimulating
example ih this direction, that the Rev. Mr.
LOMAS preached last Sunday on behalf of these
new schools, when the sum of is enty-one pounds
was collected for the building fund; and we have
been informed .that the Rev. J. STEWART, of
West Derby, has promised to do likewise. Will
not some of our wealthy Churchmen come for-
-ward and &übscribe the trifling- -A--
hundred pounds which is all that is now required
to complete the whole. We cannot for a moment
suppose that any intelligent Christian mind is
tisensible to the often expounded and undeniable
daims of Ragged Schools, or the crying neces-
sity that exists for their multiplication in the
iistrict of- Kirkdale. All that is requisite is, we
')elieve, that the matter should be frequently and
*eminently brought before our fellow townsmen.
We know hOw many claims are continually being
iresSed 'upon the attention of the public and the dif-
fculty sometimes experienced of weighing their
everal merits ; but surely it requires no additional
nument to prove, and but little reflection to be
onvinced of, the paramount importance of
lagged and Industrial Schools. If the public
N.ould prevent the repetition of such a ghastly
blectaele as that which presents itself to-day at
cie part of Kirkdale, what more effective means
cn be resorted to than that of subscribing to the

CONFLAGRATION AT SMYRNA.

L RGE PART or THE TOWN DESTROYED.

supplement to the Impartial, a. Smyrna
jornal, (from which we translate ' most of the
foowing particulars,) announces the occurrence
ota terrible disaster in that city. On the 27th
ul, at eight o'clock in the morning, a fire broke
of in a house in Demetrius-street. It was blow-
in a gale at the time, and the whole of this

quarter of.' the town. which is inhabited exclu-
sively by the principal Greek merchants, being
constructed of wood, the fire, in the course of a
few minutes, made such rapid progress, that it
was- not till past three o'clock in the after-
noon that it could be subdued. The street
of the " Roses," which was destroyed at one end,
was saved by the intervention of a large stone
house, and the large establishment of the Deaco-
nesses. A portion of this establishment,, formerly
the Papasian House, became however a prey to
the flames. From this place as far as the new
hospital of St. Roch, on one side, and as far as the
Armenian quarters on the other, near to the Tan-
nerre, nothing was visible bat one mass of
smouldering rubbish. In the first instance, it
seems to have been imagined that the fire, which,
as has been". noticed, occurred in the Greek
quarter, was the work of an incen-
diary, but it has been ascertained that
the cause of the diaster was pirely accidental. It
is stated that a woman had lighted a wax taper,
probably -in , connexion with. some religious rite,
and had , gone out, leaving the. light burning,
and it had by'some nieans communicated with
some combustible stibstance. It is rather a re-
markable circumstance, and one which, perhaps,
evinces the good effect on the Ottoman portion,
of the Smyrna "population, of the energetic
measures adopted-by Fuad Pasha at Beyrout and
Damascus towards the miscreants concerned in
the massacres and outrages in those places, that
public tranquility was not the least disturbed at
any-period of the conflagration.
It is estimated that at least 2,000 houses have
been destroyed ; but. the amount of pecuniary loss
has not yet been ascertained.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

• ' • FRANCE. • -
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)'
PARIS, Thursday, Sept 6; 1860.
• A Naples letter, of the Ist instant, contains
some-explanations respecting the resignation of
the Ministry. The writer of this account, which
is addressed to one of the evening journals, says
that the Ministers tendered their resignations
because the King had expressed his intention of
following the counsels of Ischetella and Cairo-
:flaw), who had made a strong representation to
the King as to the iMportance of his not desert-
ing his capital until he was driven from it by
force. If this statement be true, it is, of course,
tantammint to the Ministry giving his Majesty
to understand that they, like so Many of his
officers in both services, have also deserted him.
The real difficulties of the position of Francis
11. for the moment, however, are not to be looked
for so much in -those which are connected with
the near approach of Garibaldi, as in the peculiar
relations which have been established between
Garibaldi and the Sardinian Government. The
latter has prepared for a disembarkation at Naples
the moment the supreme power shall have been
vacated; and I believe that the force which has
thus been despatched to Naples, and is at this
instant in sight of the city, is not less than 7,000
men. On the other hand, Garibaldi has, it
appears, declared himself Dictator of the Two
Sicilies Without waiting for the consent of M.
Cavour ; indeed there is good reason to sup-
pose that he intimated to the Government of
Turin, that if any objection were made to his
assumption of the title; or of the duties of that
office, he would ask it at the hands of the Neapo-
litanS themselves. Victor Emmanuel, therefore,
lids no alternative but to follow wherever the
Garibaldian movement leads him, and to face
whatever enemies it may expose him to encounter;
but the same necessity must inevitable tend to
bring about, without further delay, a thoroughly
good understanding between the parties, especially
when coupled, as it has collie to be, with the
mutual dread with which the spread both of
Muratisni and Maziinisni are regarded by both;
The follovVing is the text of the 'order of the
day addressed to the officers of the 'French garri-
son in Rome, by General Nonue, on his =aiming
the command of the force :—" Our duties to-day
are the same as those of yesterday, Strangers
to all the parties which divide the Roman popala.7.
Lion, our wish and our aim are to guarantee its
tranquility. We shall thus lend a real substantial
support to his Holiness, and shall attain the
object desired by us—the accomplishment of the
intentions of the Emperor and his approbation."
Another order, Couched in similar terms,, has
been addressed to the men. The Zouaves of
Terni haVe taken the name of "Pontifical Rifle-
men," greatly to the disgnst of the Cardinals,
who are exclaiming loudly against the idea of
such an appelation as that of Zouaves or " Turcos"
being given to any portion of the Pontifical army..
How true it is, even in Rome, that " misfortunes
make us acquainted with strange companions."
Their Eminences a/ao, I observe, are complaining
almost as loudly against the enormous expenses
Which the Pope is incurring in order to aid Gen.
LamOriciere in his arrangements for the defence of
the Papal possessions.
The Paris papers are making merry with the
particulars of the Count d'Aquila's purchase in
the Avenue de l'lniperatrice. After describing
the rare beauty of the -villa, and the multitudinous
attractions'of its site and situation, the Patr'ie con-
cludes quite a lively article for that paper as follows :
But who is the party to whom this charming
Eldorado has been sold ? It is to no mean
personage. It is a Neapolitan fugitive, the uncle
of Francis 11., King of Naples and Sicily—Louis
Charles' Marie Joseph Count d'Aquila—the same
individual who, within the last few days, received
his passports, and the order to embark in two
hours, in exchange for some good advice which
he had endeavoured to oppose to

years of age.
H

Thee was rri
Couningtde'Ad in quiAlapiiist, tlhBi4r4ty,
Imperial Princess of Brazil. There are two chil-
dren of this marriage, Louis-Mario and Philippe,
born, the one in 1845, and, the other on the Uth
August, 1847. The Prince has purchased the
Hotel o 1 M. Hardon, at the price of 1,500,000 fr.,
a bagatelle ! Of this sum, one million will be
paid in cash, and the remaindet will be secured
(rcpresentee) on two properties situated in the
Bay. of Naples. One of these two properties,
which is washed by the waves of the so much
celebrated Sarentumi contains not less than
zo,ooty bquare reel or orange trees in full bearing-,
It appears that the Count does not consider that
he has made a bad purchase, for after ho had
concluded it, he courteously offered to M. Hardon
the seller, in addition to different valuable pre-
sents, the liberty of selecting from his picture
gallery twelve pictures, one alone of which' is
valued at not less than 15,000 ducats. Transac-
tions such as this, in which the seller and the
purchaser exchange so much amiability and
politesse, are not very frequent." I suppose Paris
is to be congratulated on having gained so rich,
generous, and distinguished a citizen.
There was a review yesterday in the Champ de
:Vars. Count de la Rue, general of division,
Inspector-General of the gendarmerie,
inspected
the Paris Guard, which was in full marching
order. The manoeuvres, which were executed
with admirable precision by the infantry and
cavalry composing this elite troupe, drew a large
concourse of foreigners to the spot.
Four horses, sent by the Emperor: of Russia to
the Emperor Napoleon, arrived the day before
yesterday at Havre, by the steamer Paris, from
Hamburgh. They are magnificent stallions of the
pure Russian race, and thoroughbred; one is an
iron grey, another a bay, and the two others are
black. They are accompauied.by a veterinary sur-
geon, and by four hussars of the Czars' Imperial
Guard, under the command of a non-commissioned
officer. You see, therefore, the Emperor Alex-
ander and Napoleon 111. have not yet quite fallen
out.

Thouvenel and M. de .horny have returned
to Paris from their country seats, and Prince
Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde, who have
been on a trip to the Isle of Wight, arrived yes-
terday morning. The Prince started again the
same evening on his tour, already announced, in
Ireland—where he will, I suppose, be the guest
of the Editor of the Tipperary Exanziner—
Scotland, and several parts of England.
A considerable sensation has been caused here
by the news of the insult—of which full particu-
lars are given in the Monde—offered, on the quay
at Geneva, to a number of deputies from sex,

French town in the department of AM, and
their friends, who had been paying their respects
to the Emperor at Thonon. " Hardly had the
steamer touched the pier," says this journal,
" than the party of Deputies and their friends
were assailed by hisses and groans from at least
2,000 mouths. They could with difficulty force
their way, one by one, through the passage
formed by the mob. The ladies of the party were
insulted, and the men, who wore the St. Helena
medals, were knocked about, struck in the face,
and, in many instances, had their medals taken
from them. But this was not all. The deputa-
tion was carrying the fig of the town of Gex,
which, for safety, had been placed in a box ; but
the box was recognised as it was lifted out of
the steamer, and the cry. immediately arose—
" A l'cau le drapeail ! A bas la
.France !" A
regular battle' ensued, hi the course of which
a M. Besse, who was carrying the flag-, received
several violent blows. and the box containing
the flag was nulled out of his hands. The Mayor
of Gex *as also violently assaulted; and the
assailants were just on the point of throwing the
flag, box and all, into the lake, when a commis-
sary of the Genevese police arrived with the
gendarmes, took possession of the offensive banner,
which was . much torn,. and carried it off to his
office. It is also specially worthy of remark,
as shewing that the higher authorities of Geneva
" cared for none of these things;" that M. Favz;
the chief magistrate of Geneva, who saw from a
corridor all that was going on, never offered to
interfere, until the affair had terminated in the
way I have mentioned. On the following day,
the Genevese authorities sent back the flag to Gex,
but the municipal authorities of that place refused
to receive it, in order that the initiative in the
necessary measures for demanding reparation for
the insult might be undertaken by the Imperial
Government itself. The Gex people are dread-
fully indignant, and have forwarded a strong
representation to the French Government against
the Genevese. This is rather a drawback to the
otherwise smooth progress .of the Imperial party.
According to the Nouvelliste of Rouen, the
submarine telegraph cable between Marseilles,
Corsica, and Algeria, is completely established,
so that the Emperor will be able, during the
whole of- his visit to Algeria, to have constant
communication with all parts of France..
I notice that the Patrie gives a denzenti ener-
fictive, to the rumour of a disagreement having
occurred between the English and French forces
in Chiva.

The Usual monthly settlement took place yester-
day; it was effected without difficulty. Affairs
remain still in the same state in other respects.
PAItIS, Sept. 7.
The latest received despatches announce that
Garibaldi had disembarked on Wednesday even-
ing at Salerno, a town situated on the gulf of
that name, and only three hours march from
Naples. The different corps of the insurrectionary
army were to rally round the standard of the
dictator on the following day, and it was fully
expected that a battle would take place
between Nocera and that place, to-day, on the
road to Naples, to which the Royal troops
were concentrated, and where General Bosco
has been strongly posted for several days past.
The King and his brothers were said to be "au
nziligu" of the troops ; and it was believed that if
the fortune of arms was unfavourable, they would
retreat towards Gaeta, a place, as is known, of
considerable strength, and which could only be
taken by a regular siege. It is needless to say
that the latter part of this account consists
merely of conjectures, as it is plain that the
future course to be taken by Francis 11. must
almost entirely depend upon the fidelity of his
troops, of which well-founded fears are generally
entertained.
The French steamer Alexandre arrived from
Toulon on Wednesday, and forthwith joined the
other ships constituting the French squadron
in the Bay. It is likewise said that General
Turr has lanJed at Sopir, at the head of 4,000

men. He has, no doubt, ere this effected a
junction with his chief. His arrival is a tolerably
sure indication that a battle is not far off, for the
General seldom misses an opportunity of distin-
guishing himself.
No one can be surprised to find that the Royal
authority is becoming " small by degrees and
beautifully less," as an illustration of which it may
be mentioned. that the National Guard burst into
the Palace the other day, and insisted on the
King dismissing Ischitella and Cutufriano, which
he agreed to do. They were the two generals
who., ill. opposition to the Ministry, counselled
resistance td the last extremity. General Desa n-
geler has replaced General Ischitella, and General
Viglia has been appointed to the command of the
garrison; but can they be depended on ?
General Nunziante has published his reasons
for deserting the Royal cause. In the appeal
addressed by him to the Neapolitan army, in
which he seeks to justify this step, he states that
"having studied the situation of the whole of
Italy and of Europe, I am profoundly convinced
that for you (the royal troops) and for this lovely
portion of Italy there are no other means of
safety but by uniting yourselves to the whole
Italian family under the glorious sceptre of Victor
Emmanuel." "So long," he goes on to say, "as
Providence permitted Italy to be divided, no one
could be more faithful than I was to the cause
which I had embraced; but now that the powerful
hand of God is visibly tending to the accomplish-
ment of this union, he who refuses to obey that
impulse is a traitor to the country. King Victor
Emmanuel,. in whom Italy is incarng, is in need
of having you united and disciplined, in order
to employ your brave arms, in crushing that
foreign influence which has been the eternal
enemy of our happiness." King Francis 11.
will find this document one of the most fatal
instruments in depriving him of all his remaining
support.
The best confirmation I have met with of the
statement that his Majesty has accepted the
hospitality of Queen Isabella is, that the Spanish
Minister left here the day before yesterday to
make the necessary preparations for his reception
at Seville. M. Mon was selected as the fittest
person for conducting the negotiations on this
subject; as he was in a situation to know, at the
same time, in what light this act of hospitality
would be received by the French Government. A
rumour is likewise prevalent in Paris; to the effect
that the Rothschild's house has received from
Naples an enormous quantity of valuables and
precious objects belonging to the young monarch.
From all that I can learn there seems no
doubt whatever that the Sardinian Government
is d,t present prepared to join the Garibaldians in
an attack on the States of
,the Church, and this
strengthens the persuasion that all the obstacles
to a good understanding between Garibaldi and .
Victor Emmanuel (if any such ever existed) have
been removed.
At Civiitt Vecchia the troops are labouriu
g
in strengthening
unceasinglY the fortifications,
and the Trench naval squadron in the port has
been augmented by two war steamers. But these
latter precautions are unnecessary, for no one
here believes there is any intention on the part
either of the Sardinian or the Garibaldian troops
of attacking the French forces on the points
which they are so busily engaged in defending.
The blow will. be struck in the first instance
elsewhere.

The displeasure with which the Emperor
views the resolution taken by the Pope, of
confiding the organisation of. his army and of
his defence to General Lamoriciere, one of his
political adversaries, has a great effect on the
policy which he is pursuing at this moment.
French influence has been proved powerless
against the acts of General Lamoriciere.
But in the event of any mishap befalling
him, such a Circumstance would be far from dis-
pleasing at Paris; and the French Government, in
fact, has already arranged how to act in the event
of the disorganisation of the Roman army, and
its consequent defeat, which appears inevitable.
For how can regiments which are composed
of so many different and anomalous elements
—lrish, Belgian, Austrian, and Bavarian—be
to present any serious resistance 1) And
expected
as for the Italians, they are certain to pass over
to the Sardinians or the Garibaldians at the first
opportunity, •
The Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and
public Works, has just addressed to the Chamber
of Commerce in Paris a variety of information
concerning the state of the French clock-making
trade in the following places :—Edinburgh, Glas-
gow, Hanover, Hamburg, Berlin, Dantzic, Dres-
den, Newcastle, Frankfort, Bremen, Weimar,
Trieste, Leipzic, Dublin, Grand Duchy of Baden,
Hesse, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Per-
nambuco, Brazil, Stettin, Munich, Stutgard,
Lubec, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Odessa, Warsaw,

Livernool, London, Southampton, Bristol, Rams-
gate, Birmingham, and Weymouth. The manu-
facturers and dealers whom these particulars may
concern are informed that they may be seen on
inquiry at No. 7, Place de la Bourse, every day
from 11 to 4 o'clock.

No one seems able. to predict when the state of
inactivity which has so long prevailed on the
Bourse will terminate. Its continuance cannot
fail to be exceedingly prejudicial to the numerous
interests which are represented in this yearly-
enlarging financial mart. The Bourse yesterday
was, if anything, still more languid than it has
been. No one would be tempted to speculate to
the smallest extent, even for the account, for
which several opportunities were offered. The
margin between the Threes yesterday was 5c.-
68f. to 67f. 93c.
