PARIS; TUESDAY EVENING

The Liverpool Share Market has again been sub-
ject to fluctuations,: and although at the commence-

ment of business this morning, there wag a pretty

fair enquiry and a moderate extent of business
transacted, the market receded towards the close.

I have only one piece of political news to com-
municate to yon to-day, but it is important. Queen
Christina, of Spain, has received, from Madrid, the
draft of a decree, which not only authorises her
return to Spain, but restores to her all her pro-
perty. This draft has been sent to her in order
that she may make such alterations in the wording
of it as she may think fit, The fact I now com-
municate to you is known to very few persons ;
but you may rely on its authenticity. The return
of the ex-Queen to Spain will be one of the gravest
events that has occurred since O'Donnell's coup
d'etat, and will, it may be predicted, from the pro-
found detestation in which she is held by all classes
of the people, produce something more than what
newspapers call a " sensation." The restoration of
her property, considering the extent to which she
has robbed the country, is an act of extraordinary
boldness.

There is an active and general demand for
money in all quarters, but without affecting any
alteration in the rate of discount, which remains
at about the same figure as noticed in our remarks
of yesterday. The Funds, although tolerably
steady, are without the least animation. The deal.
ings in Consols commenced at 944 for the account,
and afterwards 95. The rates paid for Money were
and then a fall to 947 i. The New Three
Per Cents. were shut. The last prices were, 94j- to
941 for money and account. The advance on
Exchequer Bills, noted in yesterday's remarks, has
been lost, and we quote them at 13 to 16 prem.

The event at Athens mentioned in my letter of
yesterday—a flagrant dissension between the
Greek Government and the French Admiral,
relative to the nomination of the Commander of
the Piraeus—has created a great sensation in
official circles. The Greek Government, it appears,
insolently dismissed the Commander, who was
agreeable to the French ; and, without consulting
the Admiral, nominated another officer in his
place. The Admiral, however, publicly declared
that he would not recognise the new nominee.
The conduct of the Greek Government is looked
on as wantonly insulting to France, and will, no
doubt, be resented.
I am told that Prince Napoleon, though not yet
returned from Iceland, has expressed a wish to be
allowed to make a voyage round the world, but that
the Emperor has refused it.
The Berlin papers indignantly deny that the
Prussian Government had any hand in getting up
the recent insurrection in Neufchatel. They do
not anticipate any serious consequences from it.
The French Government is said to be in nego-
ciation with the Danish Cabinet for obtaining the
concession of a tract of ground in Iceland, to
establish stations for salting fish. Heretofore the
fish caught by the French near that island has,
after being partially salted, been brought to
Dunkirk to be salted anew.

The tone of the London Share Market has been
languid during the greater part of the day,—
the actual sales trifling, and prices declining. We
report transactions in Caledonians at 521. Great

The weather is still fine in all parts of the
country, and harvest is now rapidly drawing to a
close, under the most favourable circumstances.
The Grain trade is therefore dull, and report from
the London market to-day states that hardly any-
thing was doing, and that prices were nominally
the same as on Monday. In a few weeks more
the supplies of all descriptions brought to market
will be large, and a considerable decline may
therefore be anticipated.
There is not any new feature to notice in the
state of our Produce Market, we observe a more
animated feeling, and in the London Market the
Public Sales have gone off more freely. In Tea,
Coffee, or Rice, there is very little doing, although
prices are unchanged.
Accounts from Berlin of the 7th inst. state that
the recent resolution of the Bank of Prussia in
raising the rate of discount is likely to be followed
by most of the other banks in Germany. It
was notified on the Bourse that the Bay-tics at
Leipsig, Frankfort, and Brunswick had done the
same.
The Hamburg advices describe a renewal of the
pressure for money, the rate of discount having
again risen to 7 per cent.
The Frankfort Bank has raised its rate of dis-
count from 4 per cent to 5 per cent. The step, as
was the case with the Banks of Belgium and Prus-
sia, has been resorted to on account of the large
exportation of silver; but it can have little effect in
arresting the drain.
The letters from Russia contain little commercial
intelligence, attention being absorbed by the
Coronation. That ceremony having now terminated,
some particulars will probably soon transpire with
regard to the contemplated concessions for railways
and other public worts. A large business is going
on in all kinds of produce at prices that must leave
a large profit to the growers. The shipments of
wheat from the Sea of Azoff are still considerable,
and France takes the greater portion of them.
The weekly reviews of the Amsterdam and Rot-
terdam produce markets state that the transactions
continued unimportant. There was a greater
firmness in coffee since the late sales of the Com.
mercial Company, but little speculative demand
prevailed. In sugar, raw or refined, scarcely any
alteration had occurred. The enquiry for rice was
chiefly limited to orders for immediate consump-
tion. Cotton, owing to foreign purchases, showed
a tendency to improvement.
Letters from Constantinople of the Ist instant
mention that the formation of the National Bank
continued to be discussed in financial circles. A
deputation had been appointed by some influential
bankers and merchants to wait upon the authori-
ties for the purpose of assisting the government in
the formation of the proposed establishment. On
the list of individuals named as members of this
deputation appear those of the principal Armenian
and many European bankers in Constantinople.
The financiers of Galata, who intended to form
a new bank on their own plans, have united
with this party, and added their influence
to the representations of the committee
appointed. These gentlemen are charged to
impress upon the government the necessity of
establishing a bank at once, to meet the necessities
of commerce and to put an end to the inconveni-
ences resulting from the present unsettled state of
the money market. The subscribers have appended
their names to the sum of 300,000,000 piastres, to
forward their views, and the committee were to be
presented to the Council of Finance on the 3rd or
4th of this month.

There has been a marked improvement on the
Bourse to-day. The Three per Cents have risen
20e for cash, and 40c for time, on the closing
prices of yesterday. Credit Mobilier shares, 25f ;

HOWTH AND BALDOYLE REGATTA.—This regatta, which
was got up by the residents in the neighbourhood, under the
patronage of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the Earl of
Howth, came off on Monday and Tuesday last, but, owing
to a lack of wind, the principal race of the first day resulted
in a mere drifting match, and was eventually won by the
'Bijou, of Kingstown, beating the Fingal, Send, Ranger,
and others. On Tuesday there was a nice steady breeze all
day, and eleven yachts started for the Howth Cup, which
was won easily by the Ranger, belonging to Mr. J. A.
Clarke, of this town.

ALLSOP'S WAX WORK EXHIBITION, TEUTONIC-HALL,
LIME-STREET, LIVERPOOL.—DOVE, THE MURDERER —The
only correct likeness of this criminal is to be seen at the
above exhibition, and is placed by the side of Palmer. Both
these poisoners are full-length, and are acknowledged by all
to be perfect likenesses. They are surrounded by upwards
of 100 wax figures, large as life ; together with 500 statues,
busts, casts of heads, &c.. &c. ; also a great number of
Stereoscopic and other views. The proprietor begs to state
that the likeness of Dove and Palmer are most positively
the only true ones taken. Palmer was modelled by Mr.
George Ewing, of London, during his trial at the Old
Bailey; and a sketch of Dove was taken by Mr. John
Storey, of York, and afterwards modelled expressly for Mr.
Allsop, by Mr. William Leland, of Liverpool. Open from
ten, a.m., till ten, p.m. Admission, Sixpence. A quadrille.
band in attendance. Observe the name of Alisop's Wax-
work on the two lamps over the entrance.
THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. LAZARUS.—The charge
against Mr. Elizha Lazarus, pawnbroker, of Paradise-street
(as reported in our paper of yesterday), came on for hearing
before Mr. Harvey, at the police court, yesterday. Mr.
Snowball was for the defendant. Thomas Wildon was the
complainant, and the details of the case, as given in
evidence, were the same as published by us yesterday. In
deciding the case, Mr. Harvey said it was most disgrace-
ful on the part of the defendant Lazarus, a pawnbroker, to
to act as he had acted. Here he takes in a full suit of
clothes, not a coat, or a pair of boots, or a vest, but a coat,
trousers, vest, and boots, and all from a prostitute, whom
he must well know had stolen them. He could not think
of a more disgraceful case on the part of any one. This, too,
was the second time that Lazarus had been before the court
within a fortnight, for a like disgraceful transaction. He
would order the clothes to be returned, without payment,
and if this.
Lazarus were again brought up, he would be
dealt with in accordance with the utmost rigour of the law.
ConoNEn's I'iQUESTS.—The Borough Coroner yesterday
held the following inquests—On the body of William Ken.
drick, who had been working at the ship Herald of the
Morning, in the Brunswick dock, and who was found
drowned, but how he came into the dock there was no
evidence to show. Verdict, found drowned.—On the body
of Lewis Williams, aged 26, a fireman at the Edge-bill
station, whose body was found in a quarry, as described in
our paper of yesterday. The jury found a verdict of acci-
dental death.—On the body of Thos, Cave, aged 47,a wheel-
wright, who resided at Everton. It appeared that the
deceased had been drinking for some days, and was in the
'0
horrors," alias delerium tremens, and whilst in that state
he hung himself in the house of a relation. Verdict,
suicide during temporary. insanity.—On the body of John
Melia, aged 30, who died in Hudson street, Vauxhall road,
and who came by his death from excessive drinking.
The jury bund a verdict accordingly.—On the body of a
male child found dead in Berkeley street. From the evi-
dence of Surgeon Kemp, it appeared that the child was
born alive, and must have died from violence, and the jury
returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person
unknown.—On the body of the child, Daniel Campbell,
supposed to have been poisoned, was resumed yesterday,
but, after the examination of a witness, it was again
adjourned. (The details have already appeared in our
paper.)
