In consequence of the inundations in France on
the principal lines of railway during the week
ended the 7th instant, there has been a diminution
in the receipts, the particulars of which are given
in the following table :-
1856. 1855.
Northern of France 837,507f..920,953f...dim. 8 per c.
Western of ditto 538,294f..653.761f... „ 6 per c.
Eastern of ditto 700,590f..781,577f... „ 3 per c.

Advices from Breslau to the 9th inst. state that
there was been a reaction in the prices of wool, and
holders of stocks have been obliged to reduce their
demands from 3 to 4 rixthalers per centner, while
the buyers are not inclined to make large pur-
chases, in the expectation of a further decline.
Most of the wool is in the hands of speculators,
and there is every reason to suppose that they
will lose considerably by the change in the state of
the market. Very few producers have wool in
store, and all those who reserve their produce
have it upon their farms. This reaction has been
influenced by the sales in England, and the gene-
ral inferiority of the produce. _ . .

The London Corn Market has been active this
morning, and a rise of 3s. per guar. on Monday's
prices was established.
The conciliatory tone pervading the American
despatches just published upon the subject of Mr.
Crampton's conduct and dismissal, has removed
the impression which was rapidly gaining ground
in the city, that our amicable relations with
the United States would be rescinded ; but there
is yet a feeling of anxiety with regard to the
probable course that will be taken by our Govern-
ment. The funds have, however, improved to
I. per cent compared with the latest value of
Saturday, and the market exhibits a buoyant
though quiet aspect. Speculators are cautious,
and, as the public are not operating, owing to the
transfer books being closed, the transactions are
rather limited in extent. Consols have been 948
and 946 '7; all the morning. The Scrip is 21,
premium, The New 3 per cents. are 94i g, and
the Reduced 948 K. Exchequer Bills have been
dealt in at Os to lOs premium, and India Bonds at

NO WAR WITH AMERICA.—WiIIiam Brown, Esq., the
excellent and indefatigable member for South Lanca-
shire, knowing the anxiety of the people of Liverpool
on the American question, telegraphed last night to Mr.
Hamilton, of the Dingle, for the informeion of the local
press, an answer given by Lord Palmerston that our
relations with the United States would not be disturbed.

messenger the telegraphic announcement as follows
