BRISTOL SUGAR-JULY 28.

The market has worn a more animated character this
week, and more descriptions of sugars have found pur-
chasers, but without vendors being able to obtain any im-
provement on the late quotations. Refined goods met
with a free sale, and prices are firm. There is also a steady
business doing in rums at the late currencies.

THE CHOLERA IN CANTERBIIRY.—The cholera, in a
ignant form, has appeared during the present week
in Canterbury, and has resulted fatally in two instanoes,
at opposite parts of the city. In one case, a man of the
name of Hallam, a gas-fitter by trade, about thirty-eight
years of age, residing in Butchery-lane, a close confined
locality, not far from the cathedral, was seized with the
disease in a malignant form, and died within twenty-two
hours after he was first attacked. The medical gentle.
man who attended him, Mr. Rigden, a surgeon of some
standing and considerable experience, is decidedly of
opinion that the condition of the neighbourhood was a
predisposing cause. Another case occurred in St. Dun-
stan's parish, to a female about 40 years of age, Mrs.
Emily Whaypole, housekeeper to the Rev. F. Holland,
incumbent of the parish. She died within twelve hours
after the symptoms were first observed. Other cases
of diarrheas are under the attention of the faculty, but
nothing serious is contemplated.
The case of Joseph, TVindle Cole, charged with having
obtained large sums of money upon fictitious warrants,
or warrants representing goods not in existence, upon
which Messrs. Laing and Campbell were induced to part
with the sum of 10,0001., upon the faith of the warrants
referred to, was further investigated at the Mansion-
house yesterday. After hearing the evidence of a num-
ber of witnesses, the case was again remanded.
PIRATES.—LEGHORN, July 22.—The Monti Libano,
Gastildi (French brig), arrived here from Venice, reports
having been chased in the Adriatic, near St. Andreas,
in the night of 15th June, by an Hellenic brig, of about
escaped. An Austrian sloop of war,
200 tons ; and that an Austrian veasol had also been
chased, but had
stationed at Lissa, pn rec•eiving. the above report, lad

ITALY.

A telegraphic despatch from Verona of the 23d,
in the Press of Vienna, states that nothing led to
the belief that any new troubles would bust out in
that place. The most complete tranquility pre-
vailed at Placentia. The riot broke out on the
22d at nine in the morning, and at ten the troops
were masters of every point. It appears that after
ten o'clock the insurgents made a last attempt,
which was repressed towards one o'clock by can-
non shot. Captain Stefarelli and five Austrian
soldiers were wounded. _ _

A letter from Vienna of the 23th inst. says :
—" The state of public feeling in Italy is very
bad, and great disturbances are expected. The
French garrison at Rome is to be reinforced. The
Presse says there has been an attempt at insurrec-
tion in Modena."

MARKET NE WS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
To-day's market was very scantily supplied with all
kinds of English wheat. The attendance of buyers being
small, the demand -was in a sluggish state, at Monday's
currency.
The imports of foreign wheat continue good. Selected
samples were steady, at extreme rates ; but low and mid-
dling parcels commanded very little attention.
We were fairly sup plied with barley, which moved off
slowly, on former terms.
The malt trade was 'dull ; but we have no change to no-
te in the quotations.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

NEW BILL ON ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.—Yesterday a
new bill, in the 'aouse of Commons, was printed to alter
and improve the mode of taking evidence in the eccle-
siastical courts )f England Ireland. It is proposed that
ecclesiastical coil/ •ts shall be empowered to summon and
examine witnesses viva voce, either before or after exami-
nation, by deposition or affidavit.
MADAME Tua SAUD'S EXHIBITION.—CertainIy one of
the most interest ing groups, and one that attracts more
particular attent ion, is that which represents the Em-
peror of Russia a nd the Sultan of Turkey. The tower-
ing height of the Russian Emperor, and the determined
expression of IV.s: countenance, gives the idea how little
the Sultan seems- able to contend with so powerful an
antagonist, the a ppearance of the latter being mild and
placid in counte mance, and considerably less in size.
Both sovereigns a.m.'s represented in their usual military
costume, decorate& with national honours.

•• SARDINIA. AND ROME
Mr. WOODD wished to ask Lord J. Russell wh ether it
is true. as reported, that the Government of this country
has interposed in relation to the differences betty •een the
the Government of Sardinia and that of Rome ;ar id, if so,
-whether there will be any objection to lay such p; ;peril as
leave reference to the subject on the table of the ho use.
Lord J. RUSSELL said no such interposition h: d taken
place, and there were consequently no papers to l ?roduce.
PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS IN IRELAN D.
Mr. BOWYER asked the Chief., Secretary for Ireland,
whether her Majesty's Government intend to p ropose a
measure enabling Courts of Quarter Sessions in Ir eland to
give remuneration to the sessional Crown solicitor s for the
prosecution of larcenies. -
Sir J. YOUNG replied that the subject was us rder con-
sideration, but he could hold out no prospect of k ;gigging
upon it this session.
THE PRESTON STRIKE.
Mr. PAT.MER wished to ask the hon. member. for :Fins-
bury, whether he intended to persevere to-;light with the
following motion :—Select committee to inquire into the
complaints of the working and industrious classes, and
other inhabitants of the borough of Preston, as set forth
in their petition presented to this house on the 30 t'n day
of March last, and to report their opinion to the ho rise.
Mr. T. DITNCOMBE mid he had this morning received
a letter from Preston, which relieved him from -all re-
sponsibility on the subject. The letter (which tl IA) hon.
member read) expressed a hope that as the struggle I Lad now
ceased, they hoped he (Mr. Duncombe) would wi Lthdraw
his motion, and this he said he should now do. (E fear)
London, England, 1854-05-24

might have been well if they had been got r eady a '
little sooner.
The reports with respect to the new loaf 1. to be
raised by the French Government are aga: in rife,
and it is thought the operation cannot b e post-
poned many days longer.
It is reported in Paris that the King of 3 ?russia
is about to abdicate.
A treaty has been concluded between E t gland
and France with respect to the division of the prizes
taken from Russia. They are to be divided n pro-
portion to the number of men engaged in the differ-
ent captures. The whole terms of the treat y show
that the utmost confidence exists between t to two
Governments, and that they are both actua tod by
the same feeling, of not doing more than is abso-
lutely necessary, or anything that can outrag e the
feelings of humanity of the most scrupulous.,
The French Government has determined Li) send
M. Ebeling, the Russian consul-general, wl a o still
remains in Paris, his passports—the Russit w a Go-
vernment having withdrawn the exequatu ; from
the consuls of the allied Powers.

Allusion was made yesterday to changes likely
to take place in the French Cabinet. It is 3 now
said that not only is M. de Thouvenel go ing to
Constantinople as ambassador, but that al 1 im-
portant change is to take place at home. M. D rouyn
de Lhuys, it is said, is to retire, and to be sue, seeded
as Minister of Foreign Affairs by the Co ant de
Walewski, the ambassador in London. Ii t that
event, M. de Persigny will quit the Mini s ;try of
the Interior, and become ambassador in. Lon-
don ; M. Baroche will become Minister of t: he In-
terior ; and M. Fould will retain his p ost of
Minister of State. The disputes between :M. de
Thouvenel and M. Drouyn de Lhuys have a consi-
derable influence on these changes. The 11 Mends
of M. de Thouvenel assert that he is the real • writer
of the famous despatches which have gains d M.
Drouyn de Lhuys so much renown, and th at M.
Drouyn de Lhuys is so jealous of his able ( ;hef de
division, as to wish to thrust him into the, back-
ground. The appointment of M. de Thouve nel to
Constantinople is the act of the Emperor hi mself,
and is so unpalatable to M. Drouyn de Lhuj s that
it has produced the crisis.
The market was rather languid yesterday , and
prices were a little lower. The Three per Cents.
have fallen 10c., at 67f. 94c. ; the Four-and-a-Half
per Cents. are unchanged, at 94f. 75c. Bt ink of
France Shares are unchanged, and the othe-r Bank
Shares have scarcely varied.

CITY COURT OF SETTERS.

Yesterday the Commissioners connected with the City
Commissioners of Sewers met in the Guildhall ; Deputy
Peacock in the chair.
The minutes of the former meeting having been read
and confirmed, personal applications were disposed of,
and the reports of the several inspectors of pavements

Two of the contracting parties, who had previously
been informed that their tenders for the cleansing of the
public ways had been accepted, having since declined the
contract, it was ordered that the standing orders "in
such cases made and provided," should be carried out,

sequence.

THE DAYLIGHT REFLECTORS.
Mr. Mortimer, the inspector, having reported that
Mr. Feast, of the Pavement, Finsbury, had not complied
with the orders of the Court, in removing the daylight
reflectors, used by him, it was decided, after some dis-
cussion, upon the motion of Mr. Murrell, seconded by
Deputy Harrison, that the inspector, under the direc-
tion of the solicitor, should be called upon to sustain the
authority of the Court, as to the removal of the reflec-
tors objected to, it being the intention of the Commis-
sioners to enforce the orders heretofore made, and to
protect the inspectors in the execution of their duty.
Some matters of ordinary importance having been dis-
posed of, the Commissioners adjourned, after a very brief
sitting.
