LIVERPOOL, FEB. 2.
The Canadian mail steam-ship Bohemian has
arrived, with the mails of the 18th ult.
The Quebec Chronicle of the 17th announces the
following movement of troops :
"The head-quarters of the army in Canada are to
be at Montreal, and there are to be at least two dis-
tricts in Upper Canada, with a general officer in
command of each. The first of these is called the
Hamilton district, the head-quarters being at the
city of Hamilton, where Major-General G. Napier,
C. 8., is to be in command. It will extend along
the frontier from Port Hope, on Lake Ontario, to
Long Point, on Lake Erie, and include Toronto,
Brantford, Simcoe, St. Catherine's, &c. The
second is called the London district, to be commanded
by Major-General David Russell, C. 8., whose
head-quarters are at London, and it includes
the extreme west of the peninsula of Upper Canada.
Whether there will be a third district in Upper
Canada, with Kingston as head-quarters, will de-
pend on future events. In the meantime, that part
of the country is under the charge of the officers at
Montreal. The Guards are to be quartered at
Montreal, where the Rifle Brigade was arriving.
The idea of the authorities seemed to be that the
regiments at present at Quebec, or even one of
them, would be sufficient to garrison that city, to-
gether with the local militia and a detachment of
Royal Engineers.
" The first detachment of the 62d Regiment, from
Halifax, which arrived at Riviere du Loup on Wed-
nesday morning, left that place for Montreal
direct, by express train, yesterday morning. They
numbered about 160 men. A second detachment of
the same regiment was expected to leave Riviere du
Loup at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, for Montreal.
The 63d, also from Halifax, numbering about 900,
will soon be due at Riviere du Loup. This regiment
left at the same time as the first brigade of Guards,
and one of the batteries of Artillery by the last
steamers. The 62d and 63d had both been in
Nova Scotia garrisons for some time past. Their
final destination will be made known on reach-
ing head-quarters at Montreal. In future express
trains will be in readiness daily, at Riviere
du Loup, for the purpose of immediately for-
warding to their destination the large bodies of
troops now on the march between New Brunswick
and that station. We are informed that Major
Villiers Lieutenants Berkely and Jarvis, .100 non-
commissioned officers and privates of the 47th
Regiment, and a detachment of Royal Artillery
will proceed to Isle aux Noix Noix next week to
garrison that important post. Lieutenant King
and 25 men of the same regiment have been sta-
tioned at St, Lambert's since Monday for the pur-
pose of guarding the Victoria-bridge. Two build-
ings in the vicinty of the bridge have been partially
leased, with the ultimate view of increasing the
guard to 250 men,"

The private secretary of the Archduke Maximi-
lian, M. Scherzenlechner, has left Vienna for
Mexico; and despatches from Vienna speak again of
the proposition of erecting a monarchy in Mexico.
The proposed Sovereign is the Archduke Ferdinand
Maximilian of Austria. It seems to be a wild
scheme ; nevertheless, an exchange of views are
said to have taken place on the subject between the
Cabinets of the great European Powers. The Go-
vernments of European States seem to admit the
necessity of establishing a new form of Govern-
ment in South America, if ever they are to be tran•
quil. But what favour an Austrian Archduke would
find amongst the bastard Spaniards is surely very
problematical ; and will America, tranquillised,
look with indifference on the establishment of a
royal and kingly throne in America? The ques-
tion of offering Herzegovina to Austria, if she
would give up Venetia, is again mooted ; Turkey
is to be compensated by money. I very much
doubt if Francis Joseph would ever renounce
Venetia by peaceful negotiations.

MEDITERRANEAN EXTENSION TELE-
GRAPE COMPANY (LIMITED).

The follo wing is the report of the directors of this
company to the ordinary general meeting on Fri-
day next—" It is satisfactory to the directors to be
enabled to submit the annexed statement of accounts
for the half-year ending Dec. 31 last. The receipts
for messages, as compared with the previous half-
year, have more than doubled, whilst the expendi-
ture has notmaterially increased. Since the opening
of the Alexandria line in November last the traffic
has greatly augmented, and is still increasing. The
shareholders are aware from previous reports that
the directors have experienced considerable diffi-
culty in securing a systematic transmission of tele-
graphic communication through the Italian king-
dom, but they are glad to say that there is at length
a probability of their efforts being successful, the
Italian Government having entered into arrange-
ments which, when completed, will, it is believed,
secure the object in view. The attempt made by
Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., for the restoration
of the old submarine cables, failed, and there
is now little hope of success in that direction. It
will be satisfactory to the shareholders to know
that their new cables, the one connecting Malta
with Sicily and the other connecting Corfu with
Otranto, continued to work most efficiently. The
directors have lately received information through
the company's agent at Turin, that it is the imme-
diate intention of the Italian Government to lay a
submarine cable connecting Sicily with Sardinia,
by which means the route via Naples, Rome, &c.,
which has been the cause of so much difficulty and
delay, will be avoided, and a more regular and
speedy communication obtained. The usual pay-
ment of the dividends on the preference shares is
recommended. The directors regret that they can-
not announce a dividend on the original shares for
the past half-year. An examination of the com.
pany's position will show that the prospects of the
company are more cheering at the present moment
than they have been for a long time past; and the
directors confilently hope that the operations of the
company for the current half-year will enable them
in August next to declare a dividend on the original
shares."

The National Bank aro about to open a branch at
Bayswater, additional facilities being required for that large
and wealthy district.

TILE )MEXICAN 'EXPEDITION.

The following letter, dated Vera Cruz, Dec. 31,
. .

appeared in the Moniteur of Saturday :
The last courier would make you acquainted with the
arrival of the Spanish forges before Vera Cruz, as well as
the complete abandonment of the city and forts by the
Mexicans.

Atter the 17th, the day when possession of the city was
taken, General Gasset issued a proclamation in which he
announced to the inhabitants that the Spanish army had
not come to Mexico with any view to conquest, but solely
to exact satisfaction for insults given to Spain and violence

committed against the subjects of her Catholic Majesty,
The most rigorous discipline would be observed, property

respected, and order guaranteed.

In the meantime the city was placed in a state of siege,

a military commission was charged to take cognisance of
all crimes, and the inhabitants invited to deliver up their

The carrying away of the archives of all the public

administrations, and the departure of the functionaries of
the Mexican Government rendered it a duty to provide as

soon as possible for the different public services ; those of

the Custom House and the Post Office possessed an interest
of the greatest importance for the people of the country and
for foreigners. The administration of the Customs was,
therefore, provisionally reorganised, under the direction o f
an intendant:and warehouse •keepers belonging to the ex-
pediticnary corps, and the surveillance of a commission

composed of the consuls of France, England, and the
United States.

In consequence of this new organisation all merchan-
dise discharged from on board ship must remain until fresh

orders En en. trepot in the warehouses of the custom-house

without being subjected to any entrance duty. Goods
liable to injury, and those which, on account of their weight

or size, would expose the merchants to considerable charges
if they were warehoused, might be taken away by the con-

signees under certain guarantees.
The postal service has also been re-established, but only
with foreign countries, General Gasset not wishing to un-
dertake the responsibility of sending despatches without
escort into the interior of the republic.
Since the entrance of the Spaniards tranquility has
prevailed in Vera Cruz; a portion of the inhabitants who,
either willingly or unwillingly, had followed the troops of
General Uraga are returning to the city.
The debarkation of the troops was not completely effected
until December 22; a part of the war material is still on
board the transports ; but the organisation of the army
goes on, and General Gasset has received from his Govern-
ment a formal order not to make any movement before the
arrival of General Prim and the commanders of the F4nglish
and French forces.

This inaction is not without inconvenience however, for
the guerillas who scour the country render the procuring
of provisions difficult, and the price of food has greatly in-
creased, and continues to increase.

To give an account as :soon as possible of the dispositions
of the chiefs of the Mexican army the French Minister
caused to be stated to General Uraga, who commands the
corps of observation, his (the Minister's) desire to have an
interview with him (General Uraga.) A meeting was
fixed for the morning of Dec. 25, and M. Dubois de
Saligny, accompanied by M. de Chaille, oommander of the
frigate La Foudre, went to the Tejeria, a station at the
extremity of the Puebla railroad, which is about 25
kilometres from Vera Cruz. At some distance from the
city the French Minister found a detachment of Mexican
cavalry, composed in great part of volunteers, who,
dressed in their picturesque costumes, ranged themselves,
in order to do honour to him, on each side of
the road, and having arrived at the Tejeria, he was re-
ceived by an aide-de-camp, who immediately afterwards
conducted him to the presence of Gen. Uraga. The general
is a man 45 or 50 years of age, of distinguished manners
and intelligent countenance. Formerly Minister of War in
Mexico, and for a long time Minister Plenipotentiary at
Berlin and at Washington, he speaks French with facility.
The reception given by him to his visitors was courteous in
the extreme ; and the latter became convinced that he un-
derstands well the political situation of the country, as well
as the difficulties with which he has to struggle, possessing
only his own resources with which to make head against
the combined forces of the three powers. His army is com-
posed of the most diverse, not to say inharmonious elements.
General and superior officers abound ; but, with the excep-
tion of some old officers who served in the war of indepen-
dence, they are for the most part young men who were
a short time ago commercial agents in Mexico and Puebla,
managers of estates, landholders, or advocates. As to the
soldiers, they were jarochos, or peasants, habituated, it is
true, to great fatigue and privations, but incapable of hold-
ing out for any length of time against European troops.
Everything leads to the belief, besides, that there will be
no serious struggle. The extraordinary excitement pro-
duced by the declamations of the journals begins to calm
down, and the idea of an arrangement is no longer rejected
a priori as treason to the nation.

There are serious indications of an intention to form
a party disposed to repudiate the Government which has
been so fatal to the country ; enlightened men have no
wish for war. What is desired by the sensible portion of
the people is to see the country united under an indepen-
dent and constitutional monarchy. A foreign Prince
would rally all sympathies around him ; but the allied
powers are bound themselves not to put forward any pre-
tensions which imply the idea of conquest, as they could
not fail to wound the national self-love.
News from the city of Mexico fowl Puebla, received to-
day, brings us the proclamation of Juarez, dated December
26, and in this ho calls the people to arms, A forced loan
of 2 per cent, on capital has been decreed. We are assured
also that the Mexicans are fortifying all :he most easily-
defensible points on the two roads leading frtm Vera Cruz
to Mexico, and on which are placed about 10,(00 or 12,000
volunteers.

FEARFUL SERIES OF CRIMES TN
TRANCE.

An extraordinary trial was brought to a close, at
Bourg, in France, on Saturday. The prisoners were
i‘lartin Dumollard and his wife. For many years
back, the man had been in the habit of accosting
young women who looked like domestic servants,
representing himself as a person sent to hire a ser-
vant for a gentleman's country house, inducing
them to accompany him some distance until they
reached a neighbouring wood ; and there, throwing
a cord round their necks, attempting to outrage and.
murder them. In one very recent instance, q•
girl escasped from his hands ; and, seeing
the lights of a railway line at a distance, ran
in that direction and obtained a refuge. Her
description of her assailant, combined with
the fact that similar statements had been made
at distant intervals by other girls, caused
an inquiry to be vigorously set on foot, and
Dumollard was suspected. In his house an immense
qnantity of female garments was found, forty bon-
nets, fifty-seven pair of stockings, fourteen dresses,
and a heap of corsets, petticoats, &c. Dumollard,
being identified by the girl who had escaped, con-
fessed that he had been for years in the habit of de-
coying girls into the forest, but stated that he was
only the agent of a gang who employed him for the
purpose, and who gave him the clothes for his
reward. He denied that he had himself committed
any of the outrages or murders. The woman who
lately escaped, and eight others, who likewise iden-
tified Dumollard, stated, however, that there was no
one with him or near him when he attempted the
crimes. A search in the forest discovered the
dead body of a young woman, very recently
buried. The body was quite naked, the
hands were found clasped, full of the fresh earth
heaped above, and the legs were drawn up, thus
giving rise to more than suspicion that the un-
fortunate girl had been buried before life had
wholly departed. The skull was marked with two
terrible wounds. In another part of the forest
another body was found in a decayed condition—
likewise that of a young woman, and stripped of
all clothing. Subsequent researches, directed in-
deed partly by Dumollard himself, discovered two
female skeletons. It is ascertained that within
some years many other girls have disappeared from
the neighbourhood, some of whom had left their
homes with the intention of seeking employment in
Lyons or Paris, In the course of the trial it was
proved that during the last eight years the male,
prisoner had outraged and murdered six girls in
the manner described. Dumollard was condemned
to death, and his wife to twenty years' imprison-
ment.

Sir Willoughby and Lady Jones and Miss Jones
have left Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-square, for the Con-
tinent.

SAD ACCIDENT AT THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.
On Saturday morning whilst a smith, named Richard Gale,
was driving in the rivets of one of the girders of the Exhi-
bition building, by striking repeated blows with a weighty
sledge hammer, Wm, Powell, his assistant, suddenly raised-
himself to an upright position, and received the full force of
the blow intended for the metal on his head. The unfortu-
nate man's death was instantaneous, his skull being shivered
to atoms.

A prospectus has been issued of the Bristol Port;
liailway and Pier Company, with a capital of £125,000, in
shares of £lO. The object is to obviate the delay and in-
convenience of the present water transit from the mouth of
the Avon to the city and docks of Bristol. The lino, which
will be 51 miles through an attractive district for building
purposes, has been strongly recommended by leading engi-
neers as an essential work for the prosperity of the port.
In consequence of the suit brought against another
of the writers of "Essays and Reviews"—the Rev. 11. I 3•
Wilson--the defence committee have made a further ap-
peal for subscriptions. They say :—" The funds alreadY
subscribed will, in all probability, be insufficient to
defrayed the largo expense incurred in defending Dr.
Williams ; the committee therefore earnestly appeal to the
public for further subscriptions to aid the authors of the
Essays and Reviews' in defending themselves against
these proceedings."

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY BVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1862.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was only a limited inquiry for all kinds of wheat in
the leading country markets held on Saturday, and, in
some instances prices had a drooping tendency. Barley
and all other spring corn sold heavily at barely late rates.
In the value of flour very little change took place.
The French markets continue remarkably quiet for all
descriptions of produce. American wheat, flour, :and
maize have moved off slowly.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were much restricted. From abroad' we received
16,216 quarters of wheat, 7,337 barley, 6,723 oats, 1,655
beans, 95 peas, 1,146 tares, 9,247 linseed, 2,824 rapeseed,
415 maize, 347 sundry seeds, 272 sacks, and 5,053 barrels
of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were very moderate, and for the most part the
samples came to hand in damp condition. All dry parcels
were taken off steadily at the full currencies of Monday
last; otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, and that
day's quotations were with difficulty maintained.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was moderately
extensive. For all descriptions, the inquiry was much ro
stricted, and, in some instances, prices ruled in favour of
100 k I buyers

have been on sale at these markets. The best qualities sell
freely, at quite previous rates, otherwise the trade is in a
sluggish state, on former terms.

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, and the
quotations had a drooping tendeacy.
With barley, we were fairly supplied. The finest malting
qualities were tolerably firm in price ; otherwise, the trade
was dull, and a reduction of is per quarter took place in
the currencies.

Malt sold slowly at barely stationary prices.
Although tho supply of oats was by no means extensive,
the demand for them was far from active, at last Monday's
quotations.

The show of beans was moderately good, and the trade
ruled heavy, at is per qr. beneath last Monday's currency.
In the value of peas a fall of is per qr. took place, the
supply on offer being moderate, and the inquiry for them
much restricted.
The flour trade was dull, and in some instances a slight
fall took place in the value of country marks, as well as of
American barrels.
