There has been a good general demand for

been well maintained. The sales amount to 10,000
bales, of which 3,000 .have been taken for specula.-

tion and, export.

of 360,000 silver roubles (about 57,6001), for the
purpose of establishing. steam communication by
sea between St. Petersburg and Peterhoff. It has
been announced at all. the Russian ports in the
Baltic that the duty. on -refined, sugar imported by
sea is reduced.
The exact amount of specie and bullion shipped
on board the AM, which left Southampton for
Alexandria to-day. is 675,392/, of which 12,3491 is
gold, and 663,0431 silver. The destination of these
supplies is as follows,:—For Alexandria, gold, SPI;
for Bombay, silver, 39,7311; for Ceylon, gold, 871;
for Madras, gold, 40/, and silver, 2,0001; for Cal-
cutta, silver, -103,9061, and. gold; 821; nfor. Penang,
silver, 10.0501;. for Singapore, silver, 70.:5871, and
gold, 8,2401; for Hong Kong, gold, 8.8501, and
silver, 2-12,8701; . for Canton, silver, 41,714/; and
for Shanghae, silver, 1.52.185/. It will be noticed
that no les-s than 436,769/ in silver, besides 8,8501
in gold, goes to the three Chinese ports, owing to
the rise in the exchange on that side.

The aggregate ascertained exports of the week
are thus raised to 717,4001; but the bulk of this
sum; as already shown, consisted of silver, which
has been in course.of gmdual collection since the
departure of the last Alexandria steamer, and part
of which has been drawn from the Continent.
Privately the whole of the specie—amounting to
close upon' a quarter of a million—ex the Ba►tic
and Canada has also been sent to the Continent.
The 24Q,0001 in gold brought by the New Great
Britain is not yet in band, whilst the specie ex the
Martdalena is expected to be delivered to-morrow
or Wednesday. The whole of the week's supplies
are thus accounted for, and, so far, have occasioned
no addition to the Bank's metallic stock.

The Funds remain inanimate, but very firm.
Prices have not varied from the closing quotations
of Saturday. Consols are quoted 951 to 951, both
for money and Thursday next. In the Foreign
Stock Market the chief feature is an improvement

TUESDAY.

(IT.OM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
I am able to assure you, on very excellent autho-
rity, that the Emperor is really seriously ill, so
much so as to excite alarm in the breasts of his
family and friends. His illness consists in the
developement of the malady in the spine, with
which he has always been afflicted. But though
ill, lie is able to attend to business, and is not in
danger.

The Austrian government, I hear, is alarmed at
the attitude which Sardinia *Assumes towards
it in Italy, and has begged the French government
to represent to the latter that, in order to preserve
the tranquillity of Europe, a change of its policy
would be desirable. The French government has
accordingly, I am told, made a communication of
a confidential character• to Sardinia, hinting that
she might assume a less hostile attitude and tone

towards Austria, without lessening the influence
she exercises in Italy. The view which Sardinia
will take of this monition remains to be seen.

The Siecle, in an article which is not without
interest for Liverpool people, complains that of the
three lines of steamers which ply between New
York and Havre, that of an English company,

(Cunard) that of an American company, and that
of G-authier freres, a French company, the latter
by the absurd custom regulations of France, and
the treaties of commerce between her and the
United States, actually pays heavier dues than the
other two, and in consequence is unable to compete

with them on fair terms. The Siecle also makes

an assertion which will startle Many readers—it is
that in consequence of the spread of railways on the
Continent, Havre is becoming the general entrepot
of the world, and already does more business with
New York than Liverpool.

The heat here is excessive—quite African

The Emperor will return to Paris either to-
morrow or the day after, but will leave on the 10th
or l lth for Biarritz accompanied by the Empress.

Although the Moniteur, a few days ago, published
an article contending that O'Donnell's coup d'etat
in Spain was not a coup d'etat, and although the
Journal des Debats, yesterday, published an article
to the same effect, the accounts received from
Madrid, both yesterday and to day, concur in
representing that O'Donnell means to do away
with the present Constitution, and to grant one of
his own authority, as the French Emperor did
here.

THE ROCK FERRY STEAMBOAT COMPANY.—The annual
meeting of the proprietors of this company was held in the
Clarendon-rooms, at eleven o'clock yesterday. The business

was private.
THE AMERICAN MAILS.—The Baltic, United States
Mail Steamer, sails to-morrow for New York. Letters will
be received at the General Post Office up to 10 o'clock, and
with late fees to 11, and at the Landing-stage to 12 o'clock

with additional fees.
AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—This morning letters will ba in
time for the Ocean Chief, Australian packet ship, if posted
at the General Post Office to 8 o'clock a.m. ; with late fees
until 9 a m., and at the_branc,i office at the Landing-stage,

with the extra lees, until 10 o'clock a.m.
Civic HOSPITALITY.—The Maid3tone Gazette says in-
structions have been given to provide a banquet at the
Crown Hotel, Rochester, on Wednesday (.o-morrow) for,
about 150 guests, invited' by the Lord Mayor of London to
meet him on the oecas.on of the septennial visit of the cor-
poration as conservators of the Thames and Medway.
SMITH'S PATENT BUOYANT VEST.-011 Saturday after
noon; the efficacy of this vest was again tested at the land-
ing-stage. From the experiments then flied, it was found
fully adequate to meet all the circumstances which its
patentee intended. For persons making marine excursions,
a more suitable garment cannot form a portion of their

attire.
MAN DROWNED.—On Saturday, a young named Patrick
Mealady, in the employ of Messrs. Mackie and Gladstone,
spirit merchants, was bathing in the river, near the Birken-
head docks, when he was by some accidental circumstances
drowned. Yesterday an inquest was held on the body,
before Mr. Churton, and a verdict of " accidental death"

Was returned.

DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION.—Inquests were held by the

whose deaths were caused by suffocation and being overlain.
Their names were—James Richardson, aged eight months;
William Williams, three months ; Bridget Mullin, six
weeks; and Catherine Gregson, eleven months old. Thetted
ey
were all children of poor parents The Cegr
that mothers were not more careful in putting their children
to sleep, and not being warned by like incidents, which,
unhappily, are of but too frequent occurrence.
IsnuErrs.—lnquests were yesterday held by the Borough
Coroner, P. F. Curry, Esq., on the bodies of John Oldfield,
a child, two years old, who was killed on Saturday last, by
being run over by a cart ; of Elizabeth Reed, the wife of a
ship carpenter, aged 52, who was subject to fit 4, in one of
which she died ; of a man (name unknown), whose body
was found by a boatman, near the Floating-light ;on the
bdy of William Connor, aged 15 years, who was drowned
by falling from the ship Clangregor, into the dock ; and on
the body of Frank Washington, a man of colour, who died
of disease of the heart Verdicts in accordance with the
Ifacts proven in the evidence were returned in each of the
eases.
ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER ITALIAN.--Intelligence from
Lisbon, dated the 29th ultimo, states that the screw
steamer Italian, Captain HamiltA, when on her passage
from this port to Genoa, when off Cape Finis erre, was
were
discovered to be on fire in the forehold. The hatches
immediately battened down, and a run made for Lisbon.
At that port she arrived on the 29th, still on fire, and was
run aground. Engines had bee n.playing upon her all the
night, and at the time the despatch left, she had fifteen feet
water in her hold, leaving but three feet to be filled up.
The fire was still burning when the account of the disaster

was sent'eff.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT BITRY.—On Saturday last a fatal
accident occurred to a boy named Edward Nuttall, aged
thirteen years, son of -Joseph -Nuttall, blacksmith, Radcliffe.
The deceased was in the employ of Messrs Knowles and
Hill, at the Chain Pit, Stone Field, Radcliffe, in the capacity
of hooker on at the top of the pit, and by some means,
about eleven o'clock in the forenoon he was precipitated
from the top, and when he had gone down a distance of
seventy yards he fell int) a descending tub, and was so
severely bruised on the head and other parts of the body,
that be died before ho could be raised to the top of the pit.
TIC CIMPA9E CoF COTTON SPINNING IN BOLTON.—It has
beat ascertained that the projected increase of mills in the
town and neighbourhood of Bolton, the erections for
'which are new in progress, and which; in the ordinary
urse, will be at full work in two years from the present
time, amounts to 450 00o,spindles. These mills will all be
fitted up to spin, with what is techniCally called "double
roving," and will, therefore, necessarily be confined to the
spinning of No. 50; and upwards, i.e. what are usually called
" the Bolton counts." When We recollect that, for some
time past, and up to the ern of the declaration of peace,
this branch of manufacture is known to have been very
unprofitable, and.that in the pait ten years its extension, in
the same district has not amounted, on the most liberal
esdarite, to mere than 50,000 spindles per annum, we con-
gratulate the parties upon the spirit and enterprise they
display,' and heartily wish them success
TILE WEATIIER.-110wever fearful the degree of heat to
which the denizens of our town and county have recently
been exposed, we have the subjoined strange contradiction
from other parts of Europe :—A letter from Berne of the
21st ultimo, states, tharin the night of the 9th July,snow
fell on Monnt St. Gothard ; on the 11th, at six in the
morning, the 'thermometer stood at 6 degrees below zero
centigrade (23 Fahrenheit), and at eight o'clock the
windows of the hospice remained covered with frost as in
winter. On the 15th the temperature rose to 22 degrees
above zero (72 F.). —A letter of July 4, from Egscet, in
Norway, in the Augsburg Cazette, says :---" The tempera,.
tore is extraordinary cold for the season. Last night the
thermometer was su low; in some localities the potatoes
were troxen in the ground. Two dais ago it snowed part
of the day. On the heights of the Theletnarke the cold has
been s) severe that cows and sheep have-perished. The
snow was a foot deep there. On the lat July the Axet
steamer was prevented from leaving Satiated by a snow
storm.)"--The closing account is from our neighbouring
city of Mancheater, whence we learn, that on Sunday last,
at two o'clock, the thermometer, 'on the western side of
igauchebier, indicated 82 degrees in the shade; and, in the
sun, 125 degrees. A light- breeze Which prevailed, some•
what moderated the discomfort arising from this intense
beat. We beard it stated that, on Friday the heat had
been greater than it has been tn., Manchester during the last

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

SPAIN

A despatch dated Madrid, the 3rd inst., states
that the Militia of Saragossa has been disarmed.
A new ayuntiamento and provincial deputation
have been named in Catalonia, and the various
bands which had sought refuge in the mountains
were dispersing rapidly.

Is is added that the Duke of Victory (Espartero)
will leave Madrid for Logrono to-morrow.
