The London Stock Market was very much agita-
ted this morning by alarming reports. It was said
news of a disastrous character had- arrived from
India, and that Delhi had not been captured. The
rumour was also spread that another attempt had
been made upon the life of the Emperor of the
French. Late this afternoon the telegraphic des-
patches with India news had not arrived. The
Stock Market exhibited great agitation
owing to these rumours, which were freely
circulated. Large sales were made by parties who
usually possess good French information, but
telegraphic despatches from Paris show that the
French Funds have slightly risen te.-day, and it is
therefore to be inferred that the report of another
attempt upon the Emperor's life was a Stock
Exchange Canard. The fall in Consols to-day is
from.i toe per sent. The closing prices being,
for Money 9070 and for the Account 91 ; Exche-
quer Bills 5 to 1 dis; and the New Three Per
Cents 91i to 91Z.
In the London Railway Share Market there was

At the Manchester Market to-day, spinners ob-
tained id to id per lb. advance over last Tuesday's
rates for weft and twist respect.vely. Cloth is
also rather dearer, but the market is without
excitement.

The Breadstuff Trade is rather firmer. To-day's
Liverpool Market was moderately attended by
local and country buyers. The demand for Wheat
limited, and chiefly confined to white descriptions,
at the prices of this day week ; red bad only a
restricted sale, at Friday's advance of 2d to 3d per
70 lbs. Flour met a better inquiry, but was un-
altered in value. Oats fully Id per 45 lbs dearer,
and fine qualities in good demand for export.
Oatmeal sold slowly at late rates. Egyptian
Beans, with few samples on offer, commanded
rather more money. Barley was quite neglected.
In Indian Corn the business was of moderate
extent, mixed and yellow realising previous quota-
tions, white a slight advance.
The General Produce Markets are quiet, but firm.
Full prices are obtained for Sugar.

Telegraphic advices from Si. Petersburg quote
the price of tallow at 179 20 to 180.10 for delivery
in August.
The failure of 11.1. Guistiniani is announced. This
gentleman, who is the financial agent of the
Turkish Government, is believed to have specu-
lated largely, and so incurred heavy losses. He
has lately found great difficulty in getting his paper
discounted, and at length a suspension became
unavoidable. His debts are stated at 200,0001. or
300,9001., but this is no doubt an exaggerated esti-
mate. It is said that the assets are good, and a
satisfactory dividend is consequently expected.
Indeed, payment in full is not deemed improbable.
The advices from Mexico are to the 3rd July.
They confirm the statement that more than
450,0001. in silver may be expected by the Parana
on Saturday next, which vessel, it appears, will
also bring at least 100,0001. in Californian gold.
The George Marshall has arrived with 2,1361. in
gold from Sydney.

The following is the report of this day's London
Wool Sales :—" Messrs. Limes & Co. are the selling
brokers to-day, and over 2,300 bales of wool have
changed hands after a steady competition. Fine
wools have sold at fully the advance already noticed,
and the Belgian manufacturers are still rather
large buyers."
A Bordeaux correspondent, a native of Liver-
pool, under date of 25th instant, writes :
The weather is splendid, and has been for a month
back, and all accounis of the crops of corn, wine, &c.,
very favourable. He met with a carpet made by John
Crossley, jun., of Halifax—a most splendid thing, with
two faces—i. e., can be worn either side; and, notwith-
standing 33 per cent. duty, they are much patronised by
the country French people ; and he states Messrs. Cross-
ley have a warehouse in Paris, and a vessel is now loading
in Bordeaux direct for Melbourne ; but our correspondent
does not give her burthen or name. Others will follow
regularly it is expected.

Harvest work in England is daily extending, and
it is calculated that the season is fully a fortnight
earlier than last year. The advices from France
continue to speak in most favourable terms of the
crops ; and, although about half of the Grain
crops are estimated to be still standing in the
Northern and Eastern departments,' the harvest
is !shout a fortnight in advance of ordinary years.
This circumstance greatly increases the prohail
