MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The supply of English wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market was very moderate. Selected samples
changed hands slowly, but at full prices. For inferior
parcels there was very little demand, yet there were no
Balers, at reduced rates.
With foreign wheat, chiefly ex granary, the market was
well supplied. The demand for all descriptions was very
inactive; neverthess, Monday's currency was steadily
supported.

_ .
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, at
late rates.

The barley trade ruled firm, and fine grinding and dis-
tilling parcels changed hands at rather more money. The
supply on offer was small.
Malt was firm, and for good and fine produce slightly en-
hanced rates were paid.
There was a full average supply of foreign oats on the
stands, but the market was scantily supplied with home-
grown produce. Most descriptions were in fair request, at
Monday's currency.
Beans and peas were in short supply, and the trade ruled
firm, at extreme rates.
In all kinds of flour sales progressed slowly. Neverthe-
less the quotations were well supported.

ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH MARINE INSURANCE
COMPANY (LIMITED).—We are requested to state
that the following influential names have been added to the
list of directors of the above company : —William Bevan,

THE ORANGE REIGN OF TERROR.—It would have
been some mitigation of the terrible system of re-
pression carried out in 1796 had it been carried into effect
by a regular military force, disciplined to the usages of
civilised war, and free from the passions of an infuriated
party , but the Government thought fit to place arms in the
hands of 37,000 Protestant yeomanry, who admitted no
Catholics into their ranks, and were suffered to assume the
Orange Ribbon—the insolent badge of Protestant ascend-
ancy. The cruelties perpetrated by these men, both before
the rebellion, and while it was raging, and after it was sup-
pressed, differed only in degree from the worst enormities of
the French revolutionists. Under the authority to search for
concealed arms, any person whom any ruffian, calling him-
self a Protestant and loyalist, and either with or without a
military uniform, chose to suspect or pretend to suspect,
was liable to be seized, tortured, and put to death. Hun-
dreds of unoffendiug people, and people who were guilty of
no other offence than professing the creed of their fathers,
or of letting fall a word of discontent, were flogged until
they were insensible, cr made to stand ul.on one foot upon
a pointed stake. These were the most ordinary punish-
ments. Sometimes the wretched victim was halt hanged,
or the scalp was torn from the head by a pitched cap.
Catholics, and reputed malcontents of the better class, were
subjected to still worse treatment. Militia and yeomanry,
as well as the regular troops, were billeted on them at free
quarters ; and this billet appears to have been invariably
ravishment,
as an unlimited licence for robbery, devastation,
and, in case of resistance, murder.-111assey's

A Monsieur le Redacteur-en-Chef du Times,
MONSIEUR LE REDACTEUR,— J'apprends qua dans le
Times, du 16 Mai, votre correspondent de Turin, vous ecrit :
—" Quo les aventuriers qui ont fait Cause commune avec
les brigands ont ete traltes d'une fagon trop douce. Si le
Comte de Christen &aft attache a la meme chaine qu'un
malfaiteur ordinaire, a common malefactor (c'est-a-dire un
voleur ou un assassin), on dolt se rappeler que ce meme
malfaiteur n'etait que le complice du Comte, et que taus
deux ont fait ensemble une expedition de brigandage, &e.
Le fait est, que messieurs de Christen et Bishop sont traites
comme des gentilhommes: pour leurs compagnons de capti-
vile le bagne est trop bon."
II ne peut y avoir de doute sur la personne quo l'on a
voulu designer par co mots—un malfaiteur ordinaire, a
common malefactor. C'est le Chevalier Achille Caracciolo
des Dues de Girifoles. Ii fit en effet avec le Comte de
Christen la campagne des Abruzzes, gentiment appelee par
votre correspondent, une expedition de brigands, quoiqu'il
n'ignore pourtant point que cette campagne a eu lieu pen-
dant in siege de Gaete, et que ces soi-disants brigands ont
fait capituler a Banco, un des meilleurs generaux Piemon-
tois, le General de Sonnaz a la tete de as division.

De plus, M. Caracciolo jugs avec M. de Christen dans le
meme proces, condamne avec lui a 10 ans de travaux forces,
enferme dans la meme cellule 5. Santa Maria Apparente,
fret au bagne attache dla meme Maine. Ainsi que I'attesta
Lord Henry Lennox, dans son eloquent discours, quand, en
parlant de sa visite au bagne of Nisida, it dit avoir eu de la
peine a reconnaitre attaches ensemble par de fortes chaine:,
Monsieur de Christen and Monsieur de Caracciolo.
Il est done evident, Monsieur le Redaeteur, que votre
correspondant n'a pu avoir en vue que le Chevalier Carac-
ciolo quand it traitait de malfaiteur la personne qui avait
etc attache a la meme chaine quo le Comte de Christen, et
qui auparavant s'etait battu avec lui. Il y a certaines in-
suites qui partent de trop bas, et s'attaquent trop haut,
pour qu'elles puissant arriver a leur but : elks n'eclabous-
sent que ceux qui les lament, et ne meritent que la dedain,
Mais j'attache trop de prix a l'opinion de la libre nation
Anglaise pour garder le silence, quand je vois qua les servi-
tours du Piemont, cherchent a l'abuser par d'aussi groissiers
mensonges, et que, non contents d'applauchr aux fusillades,
ils cherchent encore a salir du venin de la calomnie les plus
nobles caracteres.

Ignorant lea faits je n'en doute pas, vous avez donne a

nal ; ma reponse vcus devez cette memo publicite.

ainsi que marche la calomnie. Aussi pour la demasquer et
pour toute reponse n'ai-je vouiu que nommer celui que l'on
P ppelle un malfaiteur, le complice du Comte de Christen !
Oui, ils etaient complices I'un de l'autre, complices pour

Un dernier mot, monsieur, votre correspondant pretend

Nuits eke d'Or, le 29 Mai, 1863.

[Translation.]
SIR,—I understand 'hat in the Times of the 16th ult.
your eon espondent at Turin wrote to you:—" That the ad-
venturers who have made common cause with the brigands
have been treated in the gentlest manner. If the Count de
Christen was attached by the same chain to a common
malefactor (that is to say, . to a thief, or an assassin) one
ought to recall to mind that that same malefactor was only
the accomplice of the Count, and the two of them had
together embarked upon an expedition of brigandage, &c.
The fact is that Messrs. de Christen and Bishop are treated
like gentlemen—for their companions in captivity, the con-
vict prison is too good."
No one can possibly have an instant's doubt as to the iden-
tity of the person intended to be indicated by these words, a
common malefactor—viz., the Chevalier Achille Caracciolo
des Ducs de Girifoles. He, it was in effect, who made with
the Count de Christen, the Campaign of the Abruzzi,
politely called by your correspondent, an expedition of
brigands, although he could not but be perfectly well aware
that that campaign took place during tne siege of Gaeta,
and that these so-called brigands had compelled to
capitulate at Banco one of the ablest of the Piedmontese
generals, General de Sonnaz, at the head of his division.
More than that, M. Caracciolo, tried in the same cause
with M. de Christen, condemned with him to ten years'
incarceration with hard labour, shut up in the same cell
with him at Santa Maria Apparente, was attached with the
same chain to him at that convict establishment—all which
was attested by Lord Henry Lennox (very recently in the
House of Commons) during the course of the eloquent
speech delivered by his lordship when, describing his visit
to the convict prison of Nisida, he spoke of having had the
pain of recognising fastened together by the same strong
chains Messrs. de Christen and Caracciolo.
It is thus evident, sir, that your correspondent could not
possibly but have had in view M. the Chevalier de
Caracciolo—when he designated as a malefactor the person
who had been attached to the same chain with the Count
de Christen, and who had already been associated with him
in the same warlike enterprise. There are certain insults
which emanate from a source too low, and are directed
altogether too high, to render it possible that they should
ever reach their aim. They bespatter only those by whom
they are hurled—and they merit only disdain. But I attach
too much value to the opinion of the free English nation to
remain altogether silent when I see that the sycophants of
Piedmont endeavour to delude it (that Public Opinion in
England I) by any such mobstrous misstatements as these—
and that, not satisfied with applauding fusilaeds, they strive
to sully with the venom of infamy the noblest characters.
Ignorant, I doubt not, of the facts here stated, you have
given to this insult, sir, the publicity of your journal. To
my reply, therefore, you owe that same publicity. As the
brother-in-law of M. Caracciolo, and as the friend of M. de
Christen, I have the right indeed to demand this. I prefer,
however, on the contrary, simply to appeal to your sense of
courtesy and generosity, feeling assured that• you will
hasten, in discharge of an honourable duty, to publish my
letter.

Your correspondent, it is observable, carefully guards
hiroselt from mentioning the name of the person whom he
insults. It is always thus covertly in fact that calumny
advances to its end. And now, also, in order at once to
unmask it, and as my sole and sufficient response, I have
wished to do no more than simply to name him who is called
a malefactor and the accomplice of M. de Christen I Yes—
they have been accomplices the one with the other—accom-
plices, that is, to do their duty as soldiers 1 An officer of
the old Neapolitan army, M. Caracciolo, would not abandon
his flag—and it is precisely because ho remained faithful to
his ath and loyal to his king, that he has to lament to-
day, together with his noble companion (and accomplice !)
M. de Christen, under the Piedmontese prison-bolts.
Yet, as under the vest and the red cap of the convict
prisoner his honour as a gentleman remained intact, he is
still none the less enabled to carry his name nobly and
unsullied.
One word more, sir : your correspondent pretends that
Messrs. de Christen and Bishop are treated like gentlemen,
although for their companions in captivity the convict pri-
son is too good. Now, lam ignorant certainly as to how
those unfortunates are treated. I only know that M. de
Christen is still the companion in captivity of M. Caracciolo
in the fortress of Alexandria, where Mr. Bishop is also
detained. sir that
lish this letter of mine in the earliest possible number of
,
I now only urgently request you, you will pub-
your journal. I know well that in England, no matter what
political party one may belong to, respect is always shown
to the vanquisheJ, and always accorded to misfortunes that
are nobly endured.—Accept, sir, the assurance of, &c.,
VISCOUNT DE LUPE.
think it but right to apprise you beforehand, sir,
that I shall address a copy of this letter to several other
journals, and that I purpose giving it the greatest possible
publicity in France and generally throughout the Continent.

THE LOUVRE.—The Museums of the Louvre were
raised by Napoleon I. to a high degree of splendour.
Louis XVIII. further enriched them with 111 paintings, at
a cost of 668,265 f. It was also during his reign that the
Venus of Milo was added to the Museum of Antiquities.
Charles X. purchased 24 paintings for 62,790 f., and com-
pleted the Museum of Antiquities, which bears his name.
Louis Philippe purchased for the Louvre only 33 paintings,
at a cost of 74,136 f. Since the accession of Napoleon 111.
the New Louvre has seen several new galleries formed.
Thirty master-pieces of the highest order of merit have been
bought, at an expense of nearly 1,000,000 f., among them
being "The Conceptien," by Murillo, for which 615,300 f.
were paid to the heirs of Marshal Soult ; also. two pieces by
Velasquez, two Hobbemas, and one a beautiful Denner.
Several invaluable pieces of sculpture have also been ob-
tained; and, last of all, the Campana collection, which cost
4,000,000 f. The Apollo Gallery is now terminated, deco-
rated, and furnished. The Emperor is organising the great
museum which is to bear his own name, and that of the
French school of painting, on the right and left of the
Pavilion Denon, the first floor of the New Louvre. Napo-
leon 111. has coutributed more largely to the splendours of
the Louvre than any other Sovereign since Francis I.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, June 2.—The yarn-market has
been remarltebly geiet to-dey, but spinners are
remarkably firm, and do not evince any disposition
to give way. There have been some large offers
made for yarns, at about ld. per lb. decline on the
terms of last week, which have all been declined.
This market, as well as the Liverpool cotton-market,
has been unfavourably affected by the news to hand
per City of New York steamer. Some of the pri-
vate telegrams received here respecting the Liver-
pool cotton market led to the inference that they
had possession of American news that had not
reached Manchester. Later on this afternoon it
was reported that the item of news which had caused
uneasiness in the Liverpool cotton market was that
stating the probability of 100,000 bales of cotton
reaching New Orleans as the result of General
Banks' recent operations in the Teche country, the
quotations of cotton at New Orleans being reported
at 48 cents., and declining. Whatever may be the
cause the market here has been very inactive, for
all kinds of yarn. Sellers, however, owing to the
contracts on hand, appear indisposed to press sales,
and, with the exception of one or two descriptions
of yarn for India, which are rather weaker in price,
there is no change. For cloth, also, we have had
a quiet, dull market. Scarcely any business has
been effected. Manufacturers are quoting the same
prices as last week, but to effect sales it would be
necessary to make some concession. This applies to
shirtings and all classes of fabrics suitable to India,
as well as to printer's and other cloths suitable to
the home trade. For some weeks past the market
has not been affected by the unfavourable advices
to India, but this morning the buyers for the lead-
ing shipping houses have shown more shyness, and
the large offers making by some of them last week,
but which fell through owing to the demand for
higher rates, have not been renewed. There is some
business reported on American account from the
blockade runners, and it will be observed in the
cotton circular of Messrs. Gibbes and Co., of Charles-
ton, that there is plenty of inducements, from the
fact that prints selling here at a shilling per yard
realise in the Southern States as much as 12s. 6d. per
yard. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report :—" Since
our last report business has been interrupted by
the holidays, and little or nothing has been done
during the week. The unfavourable accounts to
hand per telegraph from Bombay and Calcutta have
also caused buyers to hold aloof, and on the whole
we have an exceedingly quiet market; but as pro-
ducers generally are free from stocks, and in many
cases deeply engaged, there is no anxiety to sell, and
we make no change in our quotations."
LEEDS, 2d.—There has been a large attendance
of both buyers and sellers at to-day's markets. The
principal business Las been done in good meltons,
for which many of the leading merchants were in-
quiring, and nearly all offered for sale were bought
up. No advance was effected in prices, but it is quite
evident that the plain trade is really very much
better than it has been for more than a year. ' The
demand is not confined to blacks, but indigo-dyed
blues, browns, steel mixtures, and Oxford bird's-
eye mixtures are taken in fair quantities. Three-
quarter shirtings and thin fabrics in bright fancy
colours have not much regard, though some small
capitalists chose occasionally to job in them on specu-
lation. Superfine black unions are in about the same
condition. The manufacturers are too much engaged
in working to order to bring any of their new
styles to market, but it does not transpire that any
novelties have been forthcoming beyond what have
been noticed in these reports.
NOTTINGHAM, 2d.—At this Exchange-hall to-
day there was a moderate attendance of merchants
and manufacturers ; but the demand was of only a
limited character for lace yarns, and prices were
the same as heretofore. The inquiry for hosiery
yarns was also slow, and very little change from late
rates occurred. All kinds of silks were nominally
unaltered. In the brown net department very
little business was done, and recent rates may be
quoted.
ROCHDALE, lst.—To-day's market cannot be re-
ported in a better condition than it was last week.
Buyers have not attended so numerously as is their
wont, and the few who were present from a distance
made the least possible impression on the stocks in
hand. High prices are still the impediment to more
extensive sales of plain flannel; but finer and fancy
sorts are in better request. The shipping trade is
but slack, although a few orders have recently been
received. The prices of other woollen goods of
Yorkshire make remain high, though sales are not
brisk. The wool market is in a very quiet condi-
tion, and calls for no special remark.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CIIARINCi-CROSS RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the shareholders of
this company was held yesterday at the offices of
the South Eastern Railway Company, in compliance
with the standing orders of the House of Lords, for
the purpose of considering the provisions of the fol-
lowing bill now pending in Parliament :—A bill for
regulating the capital and debenture debt of the
Charing-cross Railway Company, and for authoris-
ing the amalgamation of that company with the
South Eastern Railway Company, and for other
purposes. The Hon. Mr. BYNO occupied the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said the object of the bill was to
enable them to increase the capital of the company
in order to enable them to grant the lease of the
site of the hotel to the Charing-cross Hotel
Company, and to enable the South Eastern Rail-
way Company to lease this undertaking or
to amalgamate it with their own. The pur-
chase of St. Thomas's Hospital had absorbed
a considerable amount of capital, and provision was
not made for it in the original estimates, and it had
become necessary by the present bill to raise the
necessary capital. It had also been found necessary
to take steps for enlarging the accommodation pro-
vided by the railway; and indeed there was every
reason to believe that even with this third line of
rails, which had been laid down, it would be as
much as they could do to carry on the traffic to
their own and to the public satisfaction. The direc-
tors had promoted the erection of the hotel, and had
little reason to doubt that it would prove of con-
siderable advantage to the undertaking. Another of
the objects of the bill was to amalgamate the
Charing-cross Company with the South Eastern
Company. The total amount of capital authorised
to be raised was £700,000, out of which they were
empowered to subscribe towards the capital of the
hotel £65,000.
The SOLICITOR then read the heads of the bill,
and after a slight discussion a resolution was carried
approving of the bill.

Mr. SMITH said he should like to have some in-
formation as to the time the line would be opened,
es the shareholders were getting impatient at the
delay in the opening.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply, observed that their
engineer assured him that the line would be opened
in September next.
