SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the 30th
ult. The Gazette publishes the decrees dissolving
all political societies and clubs, and ordering all
persons not in the public service to give up the
arms that they may possess, which have been men-
tioned in the telegraphic despatches. The gazette
also publishes decrees appointing General Alison,
Capt.-General of Old Ca,tille, to be Capt.-General
of Andalusia, in place of General Izabala, who has
resigned, and General Armero to succeed General
Alison in Old Castillo. A Government circular,
in the Gazette, informs the local authorities of the
decision suspending the pension of Queen Chris-
tina and placing her property under sequestra-
tion. A Royal decree, founded on a report from
the Minister of Marine, orders various promo-
tions and the distribution of crosses in the navy.
The Espana states that the Marquis del Duero is
to receive the order of the Golden Fleece for his
eminent services in Catalonia. The same journal
mentions a rumour that Marshal Narvaez had left
Loje. for Gibraltar in consequence of some threats
of annoyance by the populace. A Madrid letter,
of the 30th, says :—" During yesterday, and
throughout the night, tranquillity has not been
disturbed, and there is reason to believe there will
be no disturbance to-day."

FRANCE.

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR TO BOULOGNE.

BOULOGNE, Sunday Night.—The Emperor has
just addressed the following proclamation to the
army of the north :
" Soldiers,— In coming to take the command of that
army of the north, a division of which has FO recently
distinguished itself in the Baltic, I ought already to ad-
dress you iu the language of praise, for you have now for
two months gaily supported the fatigues and privations
inseparable from a similar agglomeration of troops.
" The formation of camps is the best apprenticeship to
war, because it is the faithful image of war ; but it will
not profit all if the reasons of the movements to be exe-
cuted are not brought within the comprehension of every
soldier.
" A numerous army is obliged to divide itself in order
to subsist, so that it may not exhaust the resources of a
country, and yet it ought to be able to re-unite itself
promptly on the field of battle. Here is one of the first
difficulties of a great concourse of troops. Every army,'
said the Emperor, that cannot re-unite itself in 24
hours upon a given point, is an army badly placed.
" Ours occupies a triangle of which St. Omer is the
apex, and of which the base extends itself from
Atubleteuse to Montreuil. This triangle has a base of
eight leagues upon 12 of height, and all the troops can
be concentrated in 24 hours upon any point of the
triangle whatsoever. These movements can be effected
with facility if the soldier is accustomed to march—if he
carries with ease his provisions and ammunition—if each
chef de corps maintains on the march the severest dis-
cipline—if the different columns which direct themselves
by different routes have well reconnoitred the ground,
and never cease to maintain a communication with each
other—in fine, if each army dues not obstruct the march
of the other, notwithstanding the immense hindrance of
a great number of horses and vehicles. The troops once
arrived at the place indicated, it is necessary that they
should understand each other, that they should protect
themselves by a military position, and bivouac.
"This is what you are about to be called upon to put
in practice. Without at present speaking of the en-
gagement and manoeuvres of military tactios, you see
how all is linked together in the art of war, and how
much the most simple detail must contribute to the
general success.
" Soldiers, the experienced chiefs whom I have placed
at your head, and the devotion whie.h animates you,
will render the command of the army of the north easy
to me. You will be worthy of my conUence, and, if
circumstances should exact it, you will be ready to re-
spond to the appeal of our country.
"Boulogne, Sept. 2." "NAPOLEON.

Monday.—The good people of Boulogne may be
pardoned for vie wing with regret the departure of
King Leopold, whose presence would have added
much eclat and invested with -increased interest
the brilliant reunion of Royal and illustrious per-
sonages which is about to take place at the camp
of the north. The chief honours of the fetes will
now be paid to his Royal Highness Prince Albert,
whose promised visit has caused more joy and ex-
citement among the French portion of the popu-
lation than the presence of any crowned head in
Europe, with the single exception of the Sovereign
whom he will with so much dignity represent.
If the Boulonnais had determined to evince
by their preparations for the reception of the
Prince Consort their obligations to the English
nation and their respect for their English visitors,
they could not show more enthusiasm. The fetes
and rejoicings are, indeed, planned upon so exten-
sive a scale, extending through four consecutive
days, that they will more than occupy any leisure
which the military manoeuvres may be supposed to
leave to the Emperor and his Royal and illustrious
guests. Prince Albert will receive a brilliant re-
ception from the Emperor and all the military and
civil authorities of the town when he disembarks
from the Royal yacht to-morrow morning. He
will then accompany the Emperor to the Imperial
Hotel at Capecure, where a suite of apartments
worthy of his rank has been prepared for his re-
ception, close to those occupied by the Emperor
himself. At night the city will be brilliantly
illuminated in his honour, and fireworks of
unusual splendour will be discharged upon some
high point of laud in the environs, so that they
may be seen not only by the inhabitants of the
town, but also by all the soldiers encamped
around Boulogne. On the followine, day there will
be a public promenade on the Placet'Da.unou, where
a grand orchestra will be stationed. On Thursday
there will be a grand ball and fete de nuit, with
illuminations, iu the Place de Tintelleries. All the
officers of the army in the camps around Boulogne
will .be invited, so that our fair countrywomen
who may honour the ball with their presence will
not have to complain of any want of cavaliers.
Tho price of admission is fixed at a franc, the pro-
ceeds being handed over to the poor of Boulogne.
The authorities wish thatall the population should
assist at the rejoicings, and if, as is probable, the
Emperor, the King of Portugal, and Prince Albert,
and their respective suites, should deign to visit
the vast hall-room, a somewhat mixed assembly may
be expected.
I On Friday a grand concert, vocal and ia4tru-

mental, will be given by the city at the theat r
under the direction of the Philharmonic Society of
Boulogne, assisted by artistes of distinction from
Paris. On Saturday Prince Albert will take lig
departure with the same ceremonies which welcomed
his arrival. All these rejoicings are independent
of the military evolutions in the environs of the
town, which will be on the grandest possible scale :
so that the 15,000 English visitors who at this mo-
ment dispute the possession of the city with O.
French militaires are promised a programne
which cannot fail to satisfy the utmost conceivable
capacity for sight-seeing.
Up to the arrival of the King of the Belgians on
Saturday we are not sure that the heroes of the situa-
tion were not the half-dozen Life Guards and Horse
Guards Blue who arrived by the Folkestone steamer
on Friday to act as Orderlies to Prince Albert and
his staff. Their brilliant costume immediately at-
tracted an immense crowd, and some French soldiers
who witnessed their arrival, hastened to shake
bands with them upon landing, and gave them a
hearty welcome to France. It is a long while since
the Queen's Guards have put their feet upon the
soil of France upon a similar mission of peace and
brotherhood, and the local historians agree that
they must recur to the celebrated interview of the
Field of the Cloth of Gold for a like demonstration
of amity between the two nations. On Sunday the
Guards en (panda tenue paid a visit to the Cent"
Garcles (the Emperor's body-guard) at Capecure, by
whom they were received with the warmest cor-
diality. . _ _

This morninr, the Emperor was early astir. At 9
o'clock he paid visit to the encampment of the
Imperial Guards near the jetty, on the Capecure.
side. His Majesty, who was on foot, and attended,.
by a small suite, conversed with several soldiers of
the Guards, making the most minute inquiries into
the arrangements for their comfort. The Emperor
then returned to his hotel amid the cheers of the
crowd.

His Majesty the King of Portugal, and his bro-
ther, the Duke of Oporto, arrived at Boulogne at
noon to-day by a special train from Paris. They
were received at the railway terminus by Genera*
Roquet, aide-de-camp of the Emperor, M. Alex-
andre Adam, a director of the railway, and Mr'
Hercule Adam, Portuguese Consul. A salute of
artillery announced the arrival of the Royal party,
who were at once conducted to the Imperial car-
riages and were driven to the Emperor's irotal)
escorted by a squadron of the Guides. The
and the Duke were received by the Emperor with
great cordiality on alighting from the Royal car;
riages, and after a short interview were conclude'
to the apartments prepared for their reception.
At two o'clock the Emperor, accompanied by the
King of Portugal, the Duke of Oporto, and the
t
members of their suite, drove out to the cameo
Honvault, upon a rapid visit of inspection. The
Royal party was escorted by a detachment of
Cent-Gardes. Upon their arrival at the camp,
which is situated about two miles from Boulogne;
3,000 or 4,000 infantry turned out, who march
past the Royal carriage in slow and quick time"
The Emperor and his guests then alighted, 311
entered the huts of the troops, where the interiorici
economy of the camp was explained to the youth
ful Monarch. The soldiers were delighted by
mark of Royal condescension, and when the Itq
visitors emerged from the huts and regained theirb
carriages, the air rang with acclamations, in vrhict.
the English visitors present took a conspicuous Part'
The Royal carriages, accompanied by their escorts
then left the camp and returned to the E
hotel, the inspection having been accon3pli,_shat
in about three quarters of an hour. ° The ne'to
is so excessive that the Emperor wishes the
spare the troops as much as possible
fatigues of mid-day reviews, and it is not
impro-
bable that some of the military manoeuvres in c°Pii,
templation will take place at an unusually early
hour of the morning.

MONEY MARKET
AND
COMMERCIAL INT ELL IGENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7,000 bale 3, including 500 American,
500 Surat taken for export. The market was firm
but tame, and closed without change in prices.
The sales comprised 5,400 American, 200 Pernam
and Maranham at 64d. to 6d., 400 Egyptian at
61d. to 9 d., 1,009 Surat at 3d. to 4id., and 50
Sea Island at is. to is. 20. per lb. Railway
Shares were active, at an advance of 1 per cent.
on all the leading stocks.

The commercial advices from Antwerp of the 2cl
inst. represent much animation in the market for
colonial products in general. Notwithstanding the
approach of the public sales of the Hamaatchappy
company in Holland, there was much activity in
the transactions in coffee, and several considerable
parcels had changed hands. Sugars raw and re-
fined were in active demand, and refined eagerly
sought after. Cereals were the exception in the
general market, and although the stocks of wheat
and rye were scanty, yet the demand was dull and
prices looking downwards.
From Amsterdam the position of the Bank was
that against a note circulation of 95,768,630
guilders, there was a stock of bullion and specie of
98,157,850 guilders. The balance in hand of ac-
counts current was 10,843,085 guilders.
Money is easier to-day, in consequence of yester_
day, the " Fourth" of the month, known to be a
very heavy day, having passed over satisfactorily.
We have scarcely the slightest change to report
in the current values of public securi ties. The
market is quiet and the dealings on a small scale.
We quote Consols from 95 to for money, and
more for account. Reduced Threes 95 to Three-
and-a-quarter per Cents. 954 to 1. Bank Stock
209 to 11. Long Annuities 4 11-16ths to 13-16ths.

were done at 98i and 99.
The Committee of the Stock Exchange haye, it
seems, thought it right to fix a settling day for the
transactions in Turkish Scrip. In the face of all
that has transpired with regard to this loan, and
more still with the experience still fresh in remem-
brance of the tracasserics attending the former
loan, which ended in its repudiation and the con-
fiscation of some considerable amount of premiums
Paid by bona fide holders, this decision savours
somewhat of unseemly haste. The board was doubt-
less pushed by jobbers, if not contractors, anxious
to realise premiums at the earliest period possible,
the funds being safely housed, of course. It is
considered all the more strange seeing it could not
fail to be known that, with a few days' delay only,
positive and authentic intelligence from Constanti-
nople must be. received decisive of the approbation
or not of the loan, and the disputed question of the
tribute of Egypt, one way or the other. It is not
to be supposed that the board was swayed in
its course by any motives personally iden-
tifying its members with the urgencies of those who
were pressing for its adjudication, yet the fact of
so hasty a decision, in view of all that has passed,
would appear to suggest the expediency of the in-
stitution of some impartial tribunal without the
house, and entirely unconnected with and inde-
pendent of it, to which such questions should be
referred, and whose fiat, not liable to influences
within doors, would be received and submitted to
with all the more faith and confidence. Instances
are not wanting in which committees conceived it
their duty to take a longer breath, and postpone
final action until all the merits of a case were be-
fore them, for the more healthy determination of
issue. In the present affair, so far as appears, the
board has not even had before it the firmau, or a
duly certified copy of it, on the authority of which
the loan was contracted. They have the programme
of the loan only as issued by the agents, and as it
was published in the journals, according to
which Lord Clarendon and M. Drouyn de
l'Huys testify to having seen the powers,
which should be the firman, of course ;
for contracting the loan with the assignment of the
Egyptian tribute, executed, no doubt, in due form,
but without any reference to dates, which is a
material point. But those Ministers do not, and
were not; called upon to testify whether such fir-
man annulled in express terms, a previous and
existing Erman, by which the tribute was as so-
lemnly and expressly assigned to the Ottoman
Bank, of which Messrs. Trouve-Chauvel, and
Stanley are the representatives. Without such
express revocation of the first grant, the question
would si;and thus. There are two firmans, like so
many Richards in the field ; which possesses the
greater validity, and is the real Richard ? The
One first issued, still uncancelled, or the last, which
so far as known, does not assume to cancel its pre-
decessor ? If the committee had, as they ought to
have had, the firman now in issue before them,
stating in terms its revocation of the previous firman,
the all-important fact should have been notified to
the scripholders and the public, in explanation and
justifi cation of the decision at which they had arrived.
The letter of Reschid Pacha anticipating curiously
enough on the 20th ult., the claims and objections
of M. Trouve-Chavel, at Constantinople, to a loan
not contracted here at the date, is a document in-
trinsically little worthy of attention. According
to this Times, Constantinople correspondence of the
period, repeated with much detail on occasions
afterwards not necessary here to refer to, that Mi-
nister should be no stranger to, or unmixed up with
finam3ial imbroglios.
Ad vices from Constantinople received to-day,
mention that Mehemet Ali, brother-in-law to the
Sultan, had been nominated to the post of Capitan
Pacha, which is equivalent to the rank of Lord
High Admiral here. As Mehemet Ali is known
as the head of the party in opposition to Reschid
Pacha,, this is considered to be rather ominous for
the continuation in power of that Minister. Mehe-
met Ali took an active part in the foundation of
the Ottoman Bank.

and there are symptoms of weakness in the prices
of most of the English lines. The French under-
takings are flat.

THE MURDER AT PADDINGTON

CORONER'S INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.)

This day Mr. Wakley resumed the inquiry, at the
Bank of England, Paddington, into the circumstances
attending the death of an infant, named Henry Graves,
who was brutally murdered by its nurse, Trapby Knight.
The particulars of this atrocious case have appeared from
time to time in The Sun. After some observations upon
the conduct of the visiting justices and the jail authori-
ties for not allowing the prisoner to appear, the inquiry
was proceeded with, and a verdict of " wilful murder "
against Traphy Knight was returned. The Coroner
having made out his warrant for the committal of the
prisoner, the proceedings closed.
