FRANCE.

The Moniteur contains a detailed account of the
visit of Prince Albert to the Emperor at Boulogne ;
and in describing the departure of his Royal High-
ness says—" Boulogne and France will ever keep
this memorable interview in remembrance—a meet-
ing in which the intimate alliance between two
great nations appeared to have been personified."
The mayor of Bordeaux announced on Tuesday
to the Municipal Council that the Emperor and
Empress would make a short stay there on the re-
turn of the Empress from Biarritz. The mayor
having
i proposed to give a grand ball to their Ma-
jesties n the Salle des Quinconces, the proposition
was adopted, and a committee was named to or-
vaniqe the fetes during their Majesties' stay at
Bordeaux.

A decree in the Moniteur appoints a commission
for collecting, arranging, and publishing the cor-
respondence of Napoleon 1., relative to different
branches of public interest, which is composed as
follows :—Marshal Valliant, Minister of War, Pre-
sident ; Baron C. Dupin, Vice-President ; MM.
Count Boulay de la Meurthe, P. Merimee • General
Aupick ; A. Lefebvre ; De Chabrier ; Chasseriau,
and Perron.
The Moniteur publishes three decrees conferring
59 promotions and appointments in the Legion of
Honour on officers and sub-officers, several of them
attached to the army of the Baltic. Among
those promoted to the rank of Commanders are
Generals J. L. Bisson, J. A. Dupons, A. F. Gresy,
and F. J. D'Hugues.

CITY. Tv° o'CLOCK

Very moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in the
leading country markets held on Saturday. The demand
for all kinds ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations
of fully 2s per quarter. There was very little inquiry for
barley and malt, but oats were held with more firmness.
Other articles were dull.

S HARE MARKETS.

(THIS DAY.)

The sales of cotton at Liverpool on Saturday
were estimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,500
American taken for exp6rt and on speculation. The
market continued unchanged both in tone and
prices. The sales comprised 5,300 American, 300
Pernam and Maranham at 6g-d. to 71d., 400 Egyp-
tian at Find, to 6id., and 1,000 Surat at &ad. to
30. per lb. Railway Shares were firm.
The Nelson, from Melbourne, left Rio de Janeiro
July 25 for London. The Rhoderick Dhu, from
Melbourne to Glasgow, left Bahia Aug. 13. The
Priam, Scott, from Portland Bay, whence she
sailed April 28, is off Scilly.
By the steamer America accounts of August 26
have just come to hand from New York. In the
stock market, on the 25th ult., there was quite a
panic, and forced sales were made in all the
" fancy." Securities, as they are termed,
Erie and Reading, suffered the most.
The panic in the public mind relative to Bank
failures is stated to be rapidly subsidibg. A num-
ber of Indiana Banks were closing up and with-
drawing their notes from circulation. The " slim-
plaster" Banks of Michigan, Maryland, and Georgia
were considered worthless, but not the free Banks.
The President of the Bank of Carthage had failed,
and its bills were refused, but a good result was
expected. Railroad stock generally was described
as being unsound, but we must take these asser-
tions with due reservation. Flour was still ad-
vancing, and with good sales. Common to fancy
western had been up to 10 and 10i dollars per
barrel. There was no improvement in freights.
The greatest possible interest was still manifested
in the question of the Indian corn crop, and the
deficiency is undoubted.

Our last advices from New York state that flour had
,"nrther advanced is per barrel, and that the value of grain
had an upward tendency. Most of the continental mar-
kets have been dull. In the general quotations, however,
very little change has taken place.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market
last week were but moderate. The imports of foreign
amounted to only 1,370 quarters of wheat, 1,500 barley,
14,915 oats, 164 beans, 10 peas, 20 tares, 17 sundry seeds,
and 474 barrels of flour.

~Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of wheat
from Essex and Bent, coastwise and by land carriage, were
seasonably good, and in 'excellent condition. As the at-
tendance of country buyers was large, the demand for new
English wheat was acti,te, and a good business was trans-
acted, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday
last of from 3s to 4s per quarter. There was a fair inquiry
for old wheats, the show of which was small, at from 3s
to 4s per quarter above the rates current on this day se'n-
night. For forward delivery nothing was doing.
Notwithstanding the supply of foreign wheat, that
grain moved off readily, at 3s. to 4s. above last week's
quotations. Several parcels changed hands for shipment
to the continent.

In floating cargoes very little was doing, yet they were
held on higher terms.

Barley—the supply of which was small—was steady, at
full prices.

We had a dull inquiry for malt; but there were no
sellers on lower terms.

The supplies of oats were small, and the sale for them
ruled rather active, at from ls. to is. 6d. per quarter more

money.

Beans were in short supply and slow request, on former

In peas very little business was transacted, at the late
decline.

Accounts from Saint Dizier of the 7th inst. state
that there were fair orders for iron on hand, and
that the customary slackness in trade at this sea-
son was not felt in consequence of the great indis-
position among the workpeople lessening the num-
ber of persons employed, and affording consequently
more work for the remainder.
The naval force of the Russian Government in
the Baltic Sea is 31 first-class men of war, and 52
frigates and small vessels.
In the Bankers' Circular the following remarks are
givenupon the harvest prospects :—" The testimony
of an abundance reaches us from every quarter. A
correspondent, writing from Essex, says that there
are mountains of stacks to be found in the fields
and yards of farmers in that county, and that an
average of from five to six quarters per acre is by
no means uncommon. The principal point which
now attracts both sellers and buyers is what will
be about the range of prices. It is, perhaps, in
the absence of any official data as to the acre-
age of the crops, too soon to form an opinion
that may carry with it any degree of probability.
We find, as usual, that authorities having con-
siderable information at hand differ widely ou this
point. But it is of the highest satisfaction to know
that, as regards the crop itself, there is one undi-
vided opinion of its great abundance. The same
satisfactory results are related of the crops through-
out the Continent of Europe. It is, therefore, by no
means improbable that a very large proportion of
their supplies will be thrown into our market
between this and the harvest of. 1855, and that
prices will undergo a considerable decline.
This will prove a great boon to the working
classes, who during the last 12 months have
experienced great privations from the high price of
bread, and all other articles of first necessity.
Various estimates are made of the saving to be
effected by this increase in the produce of the soil,
but they are most of them made upon reasonings
too vague to be of any practical value. The total
cost of wheat for the entire population in 1845 was
about 49,663,0001., when the extreme averages
were 60s. ld., and 455. per quarter, whereas in
1847 the total amount was about 68,000,0001.
The English Stock Market has been extremely
quiet, and the number of members who have left
town causes business to be greatly contracted.
Notwithstanding this, however, and a rise of 3s. to
4s. per quarter in wheat, the quotations of Consols
have improved from 951 to 95 Exchequer Bills
have been 4s. to Bs. premium, and the Small Bonds
ss. premium. The Exchequer Bonds of 1858
have been done at 99i, and those of 1859 at 99f,
each bearing 31 per cent. interest.
In the Foreign Stock Market a few transactions
are recorded at about previous prices. Mexican
are supported at 25 to 251; Peruvian 61 per Cents.
at 74 ; Grenada Deferred at 6, and Russian 4 per
Cents. at 90. Spanish 3 per Cents. are heavy at
18a, and the Committee's Certificates at 51 to si.
Venezuela Deferred are marked 10. In Turkish
Scrip and Dutch Bonds there is nothing doing.
The following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks :_Grenada Deferred Bonds 6 to 61, Mexi-
can 24i to 25, Peruvian 70 to 72, ditto 3 per
Cents. 51 to 53, Portuguese 4 per Cents. 40 to 41,
Russian 5 per Cents. 97 to 99, ditto 41 per Cents.
88 to 90, Spanish New Deferred 181 to 181, ditto
3 per Cents. 371 to 38, ditto Certificates 51 to si.
Railway Shares generally, are very firm, and
show scarcely any variation from the closing rates
of Saturday ; but the amount of business doing is
limited. The Foreign lines are quiet, but nomi-
nally steady.
Mining Shares are quite neglected, the Banks are
without particular change, and in the Land Com-
panies' Shares no dealings have taken place.

Indian corn was in good request, and dearer.
About 1,000 barrels of American flour were sold for
France, at an advance of ls. per barrel. The trade gene-
rally was firm.

SMITHFIELD.

We had an extensive show of foreign stock in to-day's
market; but its general condition was inferior.
The arrivals of beasts perhaps from our own grazing
districts were on the increase. At least two-thirds of them,
however, were of very middling quality. We had a steady,
but by no means brisk, inquiry for the few prime Scots ou
offer, at full prices. All other kinds moved off slowly, yet
no actual change took place in the quotations. The whole
of the stock was not disposed of.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,509 short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 21
horned and polled Scots.
There was an immense show of sheep, but most kinds
came to hand out of condition. The primest old Downs
sold steadily, at full prices, viz., 4s. 10d. to ss. per 81b.
Otherwise, the mutton trade ruled heavy, at, in some in-
stances, a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday
last of 2d. per 81bs.
Lambs are now out of season. The prices ruled to-day
were about a par with sheep.
There was a moderate inquiry for calves—the supply, of
which was rather limited, at last week's currency.
We had a slow sale for pigs, at full quotations. The
supply was tolerably good.
The imports of foreign stock into London last week

MARLBOROUGH-STREAT-(THIS DAY)

ASSAULTING THE POLICE.

Nicholas Elliott, 40, Chapel-street, Cavendish-square,
was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with assault-
ing Police-constable Sales, 37 E, while in the execution
of his duty.
It appeared from the evidence of the constable that
about one o'clock on Sunday morning he was on duty in
Buckingham-street, Fitzroy-square, when the prisoner
was given into his charge by a woman, who stated that
he (defendant) had grossly assaulted her. Witness pro-
ceeded with him to the station-house, and on their way
there defendant struck him and tripped him up. Witmrs
fell to the ground with same violence, and was much
hurt at the time. Another constable came to his aid,
and the defendant, who was the worse for liquor, was
lodged in durance vile.
Defendant, in answer to the charge, said he had taken
too much wine on Saturday night, and really had no-
recollection of conducting himself in the manner de
scribed by the constable.
Mr. Bingham said constables were not to be knocked
about with impunity, and fined defendant 405,, which
was at once paid.
The cholera has evidently bad the effect of decreasing
the number of charges at this court, for within the last
week little or no business of importance has been before
the sitting magistrates.

FORZIGN DRIED FRUITS.—Some difference appearing
to have existed in the practice at the ports of London
and Liverpool of regulating the allowance for tare for
packages containing figs on importation into this
country, the matter has been brought under the con-
sideration of the revenue authorities, and it has been
arranged that each description of package is to be
weighed to ascertain the actual tare. and an average
allowed by the landing-officcre of customs for the ,sh.d.
Of the parcel. Thi. arrangement wi.t meet the ei-he,
of the trade, who were consulted on that subject, and
the officers have besen directed to govern themselves
eocordiagly in future.

SPORTING NOTES.

ON THE LEGER LINE.

Speculation on the St. Leger still rules somewhat
dull ; certain movements in the Turf Market have, how-
ever, been marked by peculiar importance, and have
been sufficient to heighten and sustain the curiosity with
which the encounter is regarded. Doubts respecting
Scott's lot have not been dispelled, and the seeming
mystery which attaches to it has been increased by the
show of support which on Saturday was again made in
favour -of Dervish. Those industrious diffusers of useful
knowledge—" The Tippers "—have within the last few
weeks been busily employed in sending letters of advice
to their correspondents, and, indeed, some people do not
hesitate to attribute the " rise " of Dervish to the
" griffin " sent out by a member of this knowing fra-
ternity.

The limited range of speculation . indicates that the
field will be numerically insignificant, although the cqm-
parative mediocre character of the competitors will
doubtless induce owners to start little-thought-of horses
merely to go for the off chance. From information I
have received, to use the language of the police, I may
calculate with some certainty upon seeing the under-
mentioned horses and jockeys prepared to do battle :
Boiardo
Acrobat
Dervish
Scythian Wells.
Autocrat G. Whitehouse.
Hannibal Maton.
Baal bec
The Trapper
Knight of St. George
Arthur Wellesley
Ivan or
Troe

In addition to the above, several others are talked
about as likely starters. My information respect.
ing them is, however, too vague to induce me to
include them in the above list. The doubtful runners
are, in my opinion, Midsummer, Calamus, Dr. O'Toole,
Middlesex, Amalgamation, colt by Vitellius, dam by
Scroggins, and Corin cum multus aliis.

Both Boiardo and Acrobat maintain their relative
positions in the betting with seeming steadiness, although
the support conceded to the former has, within the last
two or three days, been rather of a negative than of a
positive character. 7to 4 seems scarcely a sufficient price
to tempt backers to extend their investments on him,
and people who have edging money are d►sinclined to
part with it at 2 to 1, thinking that at the post they will
have an opportunity of laying it off at still shorter odds
than those at which the horse is now nominally quoted.
The undiminished confidence which the supporters of
Boiardo display is calculated to remove the prejudice
which is probably entertained against him. I, however,
am still fain to confess that moderate as his opponents
are, I do not deem Boiardo a horse worthy of implicit
confidence. If public performances afford any criterion
of racing power, Boiardo is incapable of sustaining a
severe contest over the St. Leger Course. In private
trials I place no trust, especially when their result is no
secret.

102 1003

If both Boiardo and Acrobat start, and if both run on
their merits, Acrobat will have no difficulty in accom•
'dishing the grand tour de force of defeating his " potted"
stable companion. In dealing with Acrobat and Dervish
it is necessary to use hypothetical language, for no
trustworthy intelligence can be gathered as to their
party's intentions. In certain quarters Acrobat is
talked about as a doubtful starter, notwithstanding►the
investments which are daily made on him, whilst, in
the significant language of touts, Dervish is regarded
as being virtually a dead 'on. Still there are not
wanting people who believe that Lord Derby will
follow the example of the " Sailor King," who, when he
was asked which horse he intended to run out of several
that he had entered for a race, replied, " start the whole
fleet, and let the best win." Whether Dervish will ever
figure at a shorter price than at present, I am not in a
position to determine. Few people will be surprised at
his further advance ; even his success would not excite
especial wonder. The opinion which I entertain of
Dervish has been too frequently expressed to require re-
capitulation.

The Trapper will be a formidable opponent to Scott's
lot. He passed through London, I believe, last night,
en route for Doncaster. The circumstances connected
with his withdrawal from the Derby are still fresh in
the memory of ill turfites, and but for the accident
which then prevented his starting his partisans aver, and
with a good show of reason, that he would have been
"about winning." He has, it is reported, been recently tried
with Andover, and it is said that he confirmed the opinion
which his owner entertained of him prior to the Derby.
The Trapper seems a long-striding, powerful horse, and
that he possesses some racing ability was proved by the
superior style in which he "performed" at Newmarket
at the commencement of the season. Autocrat, who
throughout the winter was the ruling favourite for the
Derby, but who was in consequence of a break down
suddenly deposed within a few days of the race, is re-
ported sound in wind and limb. To me, however, it
appears questionable whether he has been sufficiently
prepared to enable him to compete with any chance of
success, and when "extended" over the hard ground at
Doncaster, the probabilities of a break down again will
appear stronger than those of winning. Should he, how-
ever, meet with no accident of this nature, I shall not be
surprised-to see him obtain a place in the encounter.
Knight of St. George is steadily advancing in favour.
That.he will run well and gamely admits not of a ques-
tion ; but he seems too small, and his powers of endur-
ance are evidently too limited to induce me to entertain
expectations of his success. Ivan appears to be friend-
less in the market ; and, indeed, his running at York,
although he was perhaps then amiss, would show that
he can have no chance with Boiardo and Acrobat in the
race. Midsummer is reported sold, and so are her
backers. The disposition evinced to lay against her
warrants the belief that she is a doubtful starter. Of
the other animals mentioned as being likely to be num-
bered among the competitors, I entertain no expectations.
Nearly every horse belonging to Scott's lot has figured
in the betting ; three of them, Boiardo, Dervish, and
Acrobat, have in turns been favouiltes. By many per-
sons this very circumstance is regarded with suspicion,
and in justification of their doubts they refer to the
changes which were rung with Daniel O'Rourke and
Songstress. Should John Scott make a mistake—and
his judgment is not fallible—and sacrifice Acrobat to
Boiardo, as he did Cotherstone to Prize Fighter, I shall
expect to witness the defeat of his " lot." Were I,
however, certain that Acrobat will have fair play, I
should be inclined to see him go through his performance
with success. At present, however, I am inclined to
anticipate the triumph of
