on Saturday at 89k, or one-half per cent. lower'
than Consols. The discrepancy becomes equal to
fully one per cent., considering that two months
dividend (or 10a. per cent) has now accrued on the
former. It is clear, therefore, that the low price
of Consols is not the result of any adverse
speculation, but that English Government
Three per Cent. Stock is being forced
to market steadily, and in considerable
quantities, through the competition of other and
more tempting securities, the chief of which is the
India Five per Cents. The process is accelerated
by the heavy incidence of taxation, and by the
high cost of living, which causes fundholders and
the investing classes to demand a higher rate of
interest for their money than that with which they
have hitherto been content.

There is no improvement in the accounts from
the internal seats of trade. In nearly every
quarter there are complaints of dulness, although
absolute depression is still confined to certain loca-
lities. But business generally is of a retail
character ; manufacturers are unable to get
rid of their stocks ; and employment is
consequently becoming more restricted. The
prospects of the supply of cotton continue to be
discussed with great anxiety. Meanwhile, the
receipt lad week of unfavourable accounts from
the principal Indian markets, where considerable
losses have been sustained on cotton goods, has
produced an additionally gloomy impression in
Manchester and its neighbourhood.

Porte had consented to the complete union of the
Danubian Principalities, and that an international
conference will shortly assemble at Paris for the
purpose of settling this question in a satisfactory
manner.

The National Central Commission has been
convened.

The Georgina barracks, valued at four millions,
has been destroyed by tire.

PARIS, Juin 9.
The Paris papers of to-day publish • message
from Constantinople dated the 6tbllinst, annunbc-
jug that Omer Pacha, immediately an arriving at
Mostar, ordered measures to be taken to prevent
the Montenegrins from perpetrating any further

According to the same telegram an arrange-
ment had been signed at Constantinople between
the delegates of the Bank of France and its
debtors.

The health of the Sultan had unproved.

PARIS, MONDAY.
The Gazette de France of to-day publishes a tele-
gram stating that in the recent fight between the
Turks and the insurgents in the Herzegovina the
former were defeated. Dervish Paella was march-
ing with 4,000 men against the insurgents, by
whom his vanguard had been beaten. Hu troop
were discouraged.
The Begs or sub-governors of the provinces
had refused to recognise the concessions made to
the Christians by Omer Pacha's proclamation, as
being in opposition to the dogmas of the Koran.

to her flowers, was allowed to make a speech at the
council held after Cavour's death, in which she said
what the priests dictate to her about the Pope.
A funeral service for Count Cavour will be per-
formed at the Madeleine to-morrow, in compliance
with the desire of several Italian residents in
Paris.

The indipendanee says that Madame Ristori, who
was a personal friend of Count Cavour, and who
Lad received a special telegram informing her of
his decease, caused to be placarded on the doors of
the Italian theatre here, in which she was adver-
tised to play, " Closed in consequence of Count
Cavour's death," but that the police took the bill
down, and would not even allow one with a simple
black border to be posted. Ultimately, as Madame
Ristori positively refused to play, a placard with
the word " Closed," and not giving any reason,
was permitted.

PARIS. SATURDAY EVININO.

The Moniteur officially publishes the nomination
of four new bishop., viz. :—M. Deguerry, curd of
the Madeleine at Paris' to the bishopric of Mar-
seilles ; M. Le Courtier, Canon of Notre Dame, to
the sue of Montpellier ; M. Dubreuil, Superior of
the Ecclesiastical College of St. Pons, to the bishop-
ric of Vannes ; and M. Colet, Vicar-General of
Dijon' to the see of Lugon.
Deguerry, the new Bishop of Marseilles, has
long been popular among his rich and fashionable
parishioners who frequent the Madeleine. He is •
tall handsome man, who will look well in episcopal'
robes ; and this qualification, added to great fluency
of speech, will doubtless commend him to the favour
of a Southern population. He is no stranger to
politics. In 1848 he showed himself a good deal in the
clubs, took a leading part in opposing the election
of the protestant minister Cuquerel, and argued
that the best socialism was that of the gospel. He
blessed • great many trees of liberty, and contri-
buted not a little to the maintenance of that har-
mony between the priesthood and the democratic
mob which was a remarkable charazteristic of the
epoch.
The Moniteur says :—" Several journals have
announced that the Emperor intends to go to Li-
moges at the beginning of next month. The state-
ment is completely devoid of foundation."
I only know of this rumour by the Moniteur's
contradiction. But I have reason to think that the
Emperor is going early in July, not to Limoges, but
to Vichy, where it is said Colonel Lepic is at this mo-
ment looking out for suitable lodgings. The waters
of Vichy are greatly recommended for the chronic
malady in the lumbar regions, which originally sent
the Emperor to Plombibres, and from which he fre-
iquently suffers more or lees. But it is rumoured
that on this occasion he goes to Vichy, from political
rather than sanitary considerations. Cardinal
IGrasaelini and the Duke de Gramont are to be
there at the same time, and it is assumed, perhaps
on very slight grounds, that Vichy is the spot
chosen for an important conference on the affairs
of Rome.

M. Fould, on his return to Paris from London,
started almost immediately for Fontainebleau,
I where it is now said all the foreign ambassadors
have been invited to spend a week. Prince Napo-
leon's tour will be abridged, the Emperor having
expressed a wish that he should be in Paris by
June 15 at the latest. I hear nothing more of the
rumour of his going to Turin.
At the Bourse to-day Consols were posted at a
quotation indicating a rise of per cent. This
improvement was thought unlikely, and the syndic
telegraphed back to London to inquire whether the
despatch was correct. He did not get the answer
confirming the suspicion of an error till after the
lapse of three-quarters of an hour, and in the mean
time the Rente rose 20c. upon the strength of the
false news. It is suggested that in order to avoid such
very lamentable mistakes every telegram from the
London Stock Exchange should convey rot only
the actual quotation of Consols, but the variation
from the last price—thus affording a check which
would materially diminish the chances of error.
As soon as it became known that there bad been
no rise in London the Rente dropped to yester-
Iday's quotations, and even lower ; 'lnt it closed
with tolerable firmness at 67.66 for cash, and 67.66
for account, being a fall of 50. in the first case, and
a rise of Sc. in the latter. Railways left off with
scarcely any change.
A lithographed correspondence says that Count
Cavour when ho felt his end approaching made a
sort of political testament, written partly by him-
self and partly by the Chevalier Nigra at his dic-
tation, and of which Victor Emmanuel is made
executor. He also wrote a very touching letter to
the Emperor Napoleon, which is said to have
already reached its destination.
There is a talk of an official pamphlet on the
present state of the Italian question. lam greatly
afraid it will hark back to the old Villafranca
scheme of a Confederation.

HIJNGAB.Y.

The Oat-Deutsche Post has the following :

The debate oe the address in the Dist at Pestb has at last
' been brought to a close. M. Desk and his party have
carried their point. An addl.= will be seat to the Emperor
at Vienna. It is imporible as yet to Wiese what the
practical results of this vote may be. M. Dsak's address
maintains the laws of 1848, and consequently the purely
personal union ; but nobody on this side of the Leith& can
acoept that principle. In fact, the personal union can only
be admitted under the two following suppositions : first,
that the monarch should bean absolute sovereign, governing
by his sole will in the two halves of the empire. This
would be the very state of things existing from 1839 to 1861,
the Bach system. The other hypothesis is, that the monarch
should be a constitutional sovereign in one-half of his states,
and an absolute sovereign in the other ; so that in one the
ion would be compelled to M execute, by order, what population
decided in the other ; or else that the half .governed
absolutely should furnish the means for nullifying the ros '.
lotions of the constitutional half, or should consider them as
void and of no effect.

The Nord of to-day stake that the Grand Duke
of Baden has just opened at Carlerhue the general synod of
the Protestant Church, with a speech full of true Christian
charity and enlightened patriotism.

Amounts from Munich state that the marriage of
Count de Trani with the Princess Matilda, Cache= of
Bavaria, took place on the evening of the sth, in the court
chapel. All the members of the ducal family were present
except the Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Queen Mary
of Naples. Baron de Schronk, the minister of the King's
household, was the only member of the cabinet present, the
ceremony being kept as a strictly private one, without any
official state. On the day after the marriage his Majesty
gave a grand family dinner in honore of the nemly-married
ample.

It is expected that the King and Queen of
Freesia will leave Berlin for Boeigeberg at the end of thin
week, and that the ancient ceremony of doing homage to
the new occupant of the Pnualan throne will then take
place there.

The Ultramontane journals of Ireland offer re-
mark, upon the death of count Cavour, in harmony with
those which fell from Mr. O'Donoghue in the House of
Commons. The Nation says :—" Digitns Dei.—Groot
Carom is dead ! He is the third of the eminent Italian
annezers who has departed this life since the seizure of the
property of the Holy See. 'We must go to Rome,' said
the count only a short time ago. He has not gone to Rome ;
but we hope he shall [sic] find mercy in the place he has
poi to." The Dublin Murning New. exclaims :—" What
as awful warning must not the sudden blow which his
prostrated Cavour be to the other principals and accessories
in the sacrilegious robbery of God', church. Far be it
from vs to presume to point out the hand of Divine yen.
